Nine tenths! Even robbery isn't this ruthless!

Yu Qingwu's face turned green, anger surging in her eyes.

She bit her lip, held up five fingers, "Fifty-fifty."

"Fifty-fifty?" Xie Jin Yan raised an eyebrow, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his bewitching eyes, he looked at her with a smile, "If I killed you now, and then used the name of *shidi* to make the Shen family spit out that money, what does *shijie* think?"

Yu Qingwu froze, her face turning pale.

She knew Xie Jin Yan too well. He was ruthless and heartless. Once there was a conflict of interest, he might even poison his master, let alone her, his *shijie*?

Her lips trembled slightly, and she didn't answer.

Seeing this, Xie Jin Yan put his arm around her again and continued, "Shijie, if you want to ask for help, you have to look like you're asking for help, don't you think?"

It was clearly a threat, but he said it with the implication of sweet words.

As he spoke, he deliberately pressed his finger on the teeth marks on her shoulder.

Yu Qingwu frowned in pain, fiercely brushed his hand away, and reluctantly said, "Fine, you get nine, I get one."

"In addition to that, you will also be my retainer." As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Jin Yan said this.

This surprised Yu Qingwu. She looked at him in surprise, extremely suspicious, "Xie Jin Yan, are you serious? Just a retainer?"

"Or what else? What conditions did *shijie* think I would offer? Taking you as a concubine? Or a mistress?" Xie Jin Yan chuckled, as if he saw through something, a strong mockery floating in his eyes.

Yu Qingwu's face flushed red.

This feeling was even more embarrassing than being ravaged by him in bed.

She bit her lip tightly and lowered her head, no longer speaking.

Xie Jin Yan didn't say anything either, only silently staring out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

After returning to the Crown Prince's manor, he had Mother Xun arrange for her to sign the contract, and then ignored her, as cold as if they had never had that relationship.

This greatly relieved Yu Qingwu, but peaceful days always passed too quickly.

One month later, in the evening, just as she finished applying the jade muscle cream, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Xie Jin Yan walked in, threw a thick stack of house deeds, land deeds, and keys onto the low table, and also ordered people to carry in several boxes of jewelry.

Yu Qingwu looked at the several large boxes of jewelry in disbelief. There were many old things from her mother, and even the pair of white jade earrings that Qin Yiliu had worn on her ears were taken back by him.

Xie Jin Yan actually got them so quickly? And without missing anything.

Surprised, Yu Qingwu couldn't help asking him, "Your Highness, how did you get them so quickly?"

"You don't need to worry about it, change into this, and come with me to the front hall." Xie Jin Yan snorted coldly, throwing her a... rouge-colored dancing dress and a flower crown?

Yu Qingwu stared at the pearl-studded flower crown, instantly feeling as if she had been struck by lightning. Did Xie Jin Yan mean for her to be a dancer, when he said retainer?

Her face darkened, and anger instantly surfaced on her cold and beautiful face, "Xie Jin Yan, what do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean? Naturally, I want you to go to the front hall to entertain guests. Don't tell me I'm raising you, this retainer, for nothing?" Xie Jin Yan chuckled, leaned close to her ear, his dark and bewitching voice carrying a hint of wickedness, tentatively said, "Second *shijie*, *Xiao Shixiong* is here today, you must perform well."

Xiao... *Xiao Shixiong*!

Yu Qingwu shuddered, suddenly feeling a little unsteady.

When did *Xiao Shixiong* come? If he saw his current situation...

Yu Qingwu dared not continue to think...

Suddenly, she understood why Xie Jin Yan was so kind as to help her get the jade muscle cream.

He didn't feel sorry for her at all, but wanted her to heal her face so that she would be embarrassed in front of *Xiao Shixiong*. He had been setting a trap for her from the beginning!

Thinking of that most gentle and refined man in the world, Yu Qingwu felt a burst of stabbing pain in her chest, and her eyes instantly turned red.

She must not let *Xiao Shixiong* see her in such a miserable state!

She grabbed Xie Jin Yan's arm, her voice trembling because she was too excited, "Xie Jin Yan, I can't see *Xiao Shixiong*, I... I'll give you the remaining ten percent of the family property, do you think that's okay?"
