After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 182 Ji Yuqing's Secret Meeting with Luo Yuchuan

Seeing that she was very sensible, the butler nodded in satisfaction and agreed to her request. Although the second young master had told him to get rid of Ji Yuqing, it wasn't impossible to make an exception.

He then said, "Alright, it is indeed getting late. You can stay at the Marquis's residence for one more night. I will send someone over tomorrow to urge you to pack your bags and leave the Marquis's residence."

After seeing the housekeeper leave, Ji Yuqing collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

She was an orphan; once she left the Marquis's mansion, where could she go?

At this moment, she thought of Luo Yuchuan, and her sad mood improved. She remembered that tonight was the day he and she had agreed to meet.

Ji Yuqing seemed to be electrocuted, and jumped up from her seat with a "whoosh". Her hands trembled slightly as she hurriedly straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes.

Every subtle movement revealed his inner tension and unease.

Then, she quickly walked to the basin, bent down, and gently splashed the cool water on her face, trying to calm herself down.

Logically speaking, it should be late at night by now, and as a servant in the Marquis's mansion, she should not leave the mansion without permission.

However, some things in this world are often unpredictable, especially when the plot reaches a critical point, those seemingly illogical events will always happen unexpectedly.

Ji Yuqing checked the time and guessed that Luo Yuchuan would arrive soon, so she deliberately avoided the sight of the other people in the mansion and secretly slipped out of the back gate of the mansion.

Ji Yuqing secretly estimated the time in her mind, and the time she had agreed to meet with Luo Yuchuan was probably approaching.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath to calm herself down, and stepped out the door.

So, she carefully avoided the gaze of the other people in the mansion and tiptoed toward the back gate of the mansion.

When she finally arrived at the back door, she saw, by the faint moonlight, the old woman who was in charge of guarding the door, dozing off against the door.

Ji Yuqing tiptoed over, and as she got closer, the old woman seemed to sense something, groggily opened her eyes, and looked at Ji Yuqing with sleepy eyes.

She smiled slightly at the old woman and nodded gently. The old woman saw that Ji Yuqing had woken up immediately, and the two exchanged a knowing glance before whispering to each other in hushed tones.

All that could be heard was Ji Yuqing speaking softly, while secretly handing a purse to the old woman.

After taking the purse, the old woman subconsciously weighed it in her hand, then a look of surprise flashed in her eyes before she quickly stuffed it into her sleeve.

The old woman cautiously looked around, and after confirming that no one else was paying attention to what was happening, she slowly reached out and gently opened the back door.

Ji Yuqing nodded gratefully to the old woman, then turned to leave.

However, just as she was about to leave through the back door, the old woman didn't forget to remind her, "Miss Ji, remember to come back soon. I can only give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

If it's past my shift change time, no one will be able to open the door for you!

Ji Yuqing nodded slightly in agreement, then slowly turned and left, walking lightly out the back door.

As she stepped out of that door, a cool night breeze swept over her, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Looking up, she saw that the night outside was already as dark as ink, and she was a little scared.

Just around the corner not far away, a beautifully decorated carriage was quietly parked.

The man driving the carriage nimbly leaped down and then leaned casually against the side of the carriage. He stood tall and slender in the darkness.

One of his hands rested casually on his waist, while the other tapped the car body rhythmically, producing a crisp sound in the darkness.

Bathed in the hazy moonlight and the dim glow of lanterns, his figure flickered in and out of the darkness, appearing mysterious and captivating.

Ji Yuqing slowly approached the corner, and when her gaze fell upon the man, a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

The man before her had striking features, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a face as handsome as jade. He exuded a unique charm that made her involuntarily fall for him.

Especially in this dim light, his well-defined face appeared even more profound and aloof, making him irresistible.

Looking at him, she could no longer restrain herself and immediately pounced on him.

Ji Yuqing looked at him, her eyes gradually becoming infatuated.

At this moment, the emotions she had suppressed for so long could no longer be contained. She took a step and ran towards the man.

"Tamachuan..."

With a heartfelt call, Ji Yuqing suddenly threw herself into Luo Yuchuan's arms.

Luo Yuchuan clearly hadn't expected Ji Yuqing to rush over so suddenly. His body froze instantly, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

But after a moment's hesitation, he quickly came to his senses, stretched out his arms and tightly hugged Ji Yuqing's slender waist, while gently comforting her, "Cry if you want to, I'm here!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuqing, who had been holding back her tears, burst forth like a flood.

"Woooooooo..."

She buried her face in Luo Yuchuan's broad, warm chest and burst into tears. Her cries were filled with endless grievances, pain, and longing, which evoked pity in the listener.

"What's wrong with you? Who bullied you, or did someone make you suffer a great injustice, or did something else upset you?"

Luo Yuchuan looked at Ji Yuqing, who was crying her eyes out, with a face full of concern, and asked in a soft voice.

Ji Yuqing was sobbing, tears streaming down her face, as she choked out her story to Luo Yuchuan, recounting in broken sentences what had happened that evening.

According to Ji Yuqing, she was just doing her duty by going to get that item, but she never expected to be so unlucky as to run into Old Madam Shen, who was in a bad mood.

Unexpectedly...

"They actually dared to kick me out! That despicable butler even threatened me, saying that if I didn't have enough money to buy my freedom, he would sell me to someone else!"

As Ji Yuqing spoke, her emotions grew increasingly agitated, her sobs grew louder, and she even hiccuped as she sobbed and resentfully complained:

"I really don't understand! ... I've always been diligent and conscientious in my work... I've never been lazy."

But why did they treat me so arbitrarily without even knowing the facts...?

"Sigh, isn't that how people like them act? They're always so arrogant and haughty, as if the whole world should revolve around them."

If you carelessly say the wrong thing and offend them, you'll be beaten or scolded at best, and at worst, you might lose your life!

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuchuan was also filled with righteous indignation. He couldn't help but snort coldly and indignantly echoed her sentiment.

"You've been working for the Shen family for more than a day or two. Can it be that you still can't see the true colors of those Shen family members?"

I heard that the young master of their Marquis's mansion had an affair with a maid!

Surprisingly, he eventually abandoned the maid without hesitation because he despised her lowly status and thought she was beneath him.

What's even more outrageous is that afterwards, their Marquis's mansion shamelessly spread rumors everywhere.

To spread rumors that the poor girl was promiscuous, a gold digger, and deliberately seduced the men in the mansion...it's utterly shameless!

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuqing, who had been crying, seemed to suddenly remember something and blurted out, "The one you're talking about, could it be that Su Qianqian?"

His reminder instantly awakened the memories in Ji Yuqing's mind.

Yes, there was indeed a maid who came to the Marquis's residence, but she didn't work there for long and left after a short time.

As for the specific reasons, Ji Yuqing was not particularly clear. She only knew that she seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with Master Shen, and that it had even escalated to the restaurant run by Master Shen!

At this moment, Luo Yuchuan slightly curled the corners of his lips, revealing a meaningful smile: "Hehe, I don't know about that, after all, I wasn't working as a gardener in the Marquis's villa back then!"

I only heard about these things from people outside.

I heard that the woman was falsely accused of seducing his best friend, which caused the two brothers, who were once inseparable, to turn against each other and almost come to blows!

Fortunately, after some twists and turns, the two brothers finally reconciled and were on good terms again.

But who could have imagined that at that moment, the poor woman suddenly vanished without a trace, as if she had evaporated into thin air; no one knew where she had gone.

Su Qianqian: "..."

Waaaaah... Why am I so unlucky? I've been dumped again!

If it weren't for Uncle Li's constant support and encouragement, I probably would have collapsed long ago.

Li Youming took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently and patiently wiped away the tears from Su Qianqian's eyes, softly comforting her:

"Don't cry, Qianqian. Don't worry about your grandmother's illness. I will do everything I can to help you. After all, I've been wandering the world for many years and have made quite a few friends."

Even if the doctors of our Great Yuan Kingdom are helpless, I will take you and your grandmother elsewhere to search for renowned physicians in various places. I believe we will eventually find a master who can cure your grandmother's illness.”

"Really...really?!"

Upon hearing his words, Su Qianqian looked up as if she had grasped a lifeline, her tear-streaked face now filled with expectation and hope.

She stared intently at Li Youming, her voice trembling as she asked, "Really...really? You're not lying to me, are you? Is there really a doctor who can cure my grandmother's illness?"

Li Youming nodded seriously and said firmly, "Yes, I can swear to you that everything I just said is absolutely true."

As long as you have enough money, you can hire any doctor, no matter how skilled or famous they are.

Those who are wealthy and powerful also fear illness, so they spare no expense in employing a large number of highly skilled doctors.

"Well, I believe you!"

Su Qianqian's eyes reddened slightly. She nodded vigorously, looking at Li Youming in front of her with eyes full of trust and reliance, as if she were looking at a peerless hero.

At this moment, Li Youming's male pride was satisfied like never before.

He thought to himself, this girl is just too good, she's practically a gift sent to me by God.

Both her personality and appearance were just right, perfectly matching my heart.

At the same time, Li Youming couldn't help but secretly despise Ren Muchen in his heart. What a blind man!

It's like picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon to give up the good Su Qianqian!

Humph, just wait!

One day in the future, Ren Muchen will definitely regret the wrong choice he made back then!

Just then, Ren Muchen, who was far away on the other side, suddenly sneezed loudly without any warning.
