第1章 世子回府了

The Crown Prince has returned to the manor.

[Age gap + Both are virgins + Pregnant woman running away + Cold and aloof powerful official falling from grace + She runs away while he chases]

In the eighth year of Chengping, amidst snow and ice, the entire Xie family was raided, and Xie Jinhuai, the governor of Yangzhou, was executed. The rest of the family also suffered the same fate.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Zhi went from being the daughter of a governor to a slave. Just as she was about to be sold to a brothel, she mustered her courage, grabbed a corner of a man's robe, and cried out:

"My lord, please take me with you."

Pei Du's features were clear and bright, but his gaze towards her was filled with disgust:

"Why did you have to come to the presiding judge for help?"

Xie Zhi was heartbroken and wanted to spend the rest of her life in a brothel, but when she served her first customer, she was so scared that she ran away.

With the guards chasing after her relentlessly, Xie Zhi hurriedly hid in a carriage by the roadside, but trembled with fright when she saw the man inside.

"Please don't be angry, sir. I'll go down right away."

Are you sure?

At first, bringing her back to his residence was just a whim, but an unexpected event led to Xie Zhi becoming his bedmate.

Pei Du had always known that this girl was not a good person, but seeing her cleverness, charm, and gentle demeanor, he was quite pleased with her.

He intended to marry her and give her a proper status, but unexpectedly, this girl stole the slave registration documents, ran away while pregnant, and did it more than once.

At that moment, Pei Du realized that it was a complete scam.

She created a dream for herself.

Since that's the case, then nobody should wake up.

[Only now do I realize that listening to a bird locked in a golden cage is not as good as hearing it sing freely in the forest.]

　　转眼之间，谢栀从刺史千金沦为罪奴，正要被卖到青楼时，她鼓起勇气，抓住男人衣袍一角，哭求道：
　　“大人，求您带我走吧。”
　　裴渡眉目疏朗，看向她时却带着嫌恶：
　　“求谁不好，求到主审官这来了。”
　　谢栀心灰意冷，本想在青楼了却残生，可第一次接客时，她还是怕得逃了出去。
　　护卫在身后追得猖狂，谢栀匆忙躲进路边的马车中，却在看见车上男人时吓得一颤。
　　“大人别生气，我这就下去。”
　　“你确定？”
