"Young Master." Ah Dai whispered as a means to stop Si Ning that gathered his skirt in his arms to be able to walk faster.

"Anyue what is it?" Si Ning asked loudly turning to Ah Dai, his skirt still gathered in his hands before turning to peep around the corner. "And call me Young Miss." He whispered.

"Young Miss." Ah Dai said as he moved to stand in front of Si Ning, diverting his attention to him and when Si Ning raised a brow made him proceed to straighten out his Master's skirt and wasn't surprised to see Si Ning's eyes widen which means he wasn't aware of the skirt he packed in his hands.

"Young Miss, who are you here to see let this gentleman escort you to your destination." Jiang Ye that appeared from nowhere said.

"Yes?" Si Ning was glad the person he was looking for had appeared before him. So he straightened up to face Jiang Ye as Ah Dai stepped back.

"It is quite dangerous for Young Miss to walk at night and I may look like this but I am General Si Ning's right-hand man so what did you say, pretty lady?" Jiang Ye asked as he stepped closer to look deep into Si Ning's eyes. Acting like a Young Master that found a beauty he couldn't ignore.

Si Ning smiled, wearing a flirtatious look. "Oh, I will gladly like General Si Ning's right-hand man to escort me." He said in a thin sharp voice to sound like a woman as he blinks slowly having the air of a Young Miss from a noble house.

"Call me Commander Jiang." Jiang Ye said wearing a bright smile as he straightened up and cleared his throat.

"Okay Commander Jiang." Si Ning smoothed out his skirt as he took a step forward to fall beside Jiang Ye while Ah Dai quickly falls behind them.

Si Ning's neck was killing him due to the heavy hairpin Ah Dai inserted in his hair and all the hair clips and jewelry to adorn his hair. He straightened his neck and almost trip on his skirt when Jiang Ye quickly took his hand and was able to prevent him from falling.

"You are like a bright star in the night which is causing everywhere to be too bright and I can't even see where I am stepping on." Jiang Ye said releasing Si Ning's hand.

What a cheesy guy.

Si Ning doesn't understand if Jiang Ye just tried to recite a poem or some romantic lines meant to sweep him off his feet because his statement was a big red flag that if he was a girl, he would not hesitate to label him as creepy and run away.

"Thank you, Commander Jiang." Si Ning said acting shyly even though it was embarrassing enough to be walking around in skirts but he had to follow the script to the end.

After Ah Dai chose a set of dark robes for him that he would wear to the XiXi tavern. After checking the robes Si Ning realized he boldly wrote a letter to Qiu Bai that they should meet at the XiXi tavern when he was about to get married in a month time and must not be caught by any of Xiu Zhicheng's informant for Xiu Zhicheng not to lose his trust in him but he was blinded by anger to not care about what might happen after but now he was thinking straight and knew he made a mistake of setting the XiXi tavern as their meeting place when it was this same tavern he was seen and was reported to Xiu Zhicheng and worst, it was too late for him to set up another meeting place.

In order to avoid getting caught by any Xiu Zhicheng's underlying, Si Ning had to dress in female clothing's Ah Dai was able to get for him and to avoid anyone knowing about it, it was Ah Dai that styled his hair and did his makeup and when they were done and he looked at the mirror, Si Ning was impressed because he doesn't think anyone would see him and know it was General Si Ning walking on the street. He was impressed that Ah Dai was able to style his hair in a way that his forehead was slightly covered to conceal the red point on his forehead.

To be on the safer side, Ah Dai also dressed in female clothing and went by the name Anyue while Si Ning would be called only Young Miss to avoid dropping a fake surname and be investigated by anyone that thinks he was suspicious-looking but he doubts that.

Because Xiao Pei was well known and it would look suspicious if he escorts them because he was always too serious and Si Ning doesn't think he would ever choose to escort a pretty lady so he excluded him and planned that Jiang Ye would come to meet him as a stranger and ask to escort them and that means Si Ning would have him as his guard while Si Ninh would follow like it was a normal thing to follow a stranger but it was the emergency act he could come up with as a means to get someone to guard him till they get to the XiXi tavern.

To leave the residence, Si Ning considered jumping over the fence but he couldn't with his skirt, and if he was seen then he would be labeled as a suspicious person so he and Ah Dai took the back gate not covering their faces because Si Ning though they don't need to hide because if they use a veil then they might be marked as suspicious so he decided to walk out boldly with Ah Dai.

"You look so beautiful, perhaps will you like to accompany me to the XiXi tavern?" Jiang Ye asked.

No matter where Si Ning looked, it all seemed normal and he doesn't think anyone was watching them but still, he had to keep the act up. It wasn't a wise decision for a Young Master to shamelessly invite a Young Miss to the brothel but this time around Si Ning doesn't have a choice than to go with it and make them look like two horny people that finally seen the opportunity to go wild.

"And what do we plan to do there?" Si Ning asked looking curious folding his hands in front of him as a means to prevent himself from reaching for his skirt and gather it in his hands to be able to walk smoothly.

"Many things, Perhaps you will like your maid to not follow us." Jiang Ye suggested.

Such a stupid script but Si Ning smiled because surprisingly Jiang Ye's act was good and he was able to follow the script even though he changed some words but it was expected because Si Ning brought about the act and was able to hammer the role Jiang Ye would be playing in his head.

in cases like this, the maid should be excluded but when Si Ning looked behind him and met Ah Dai's pleading eyes he was unable to send him away knowing Ah Dai would go home and become depressed while thinking that he was abandoned.

"Let him join us." Si Ning said. "I mean let her join us." He corrected, his eyes darting around only to see there was nobody close to them and he was safe.

"Come, this way Young Miss." Jiang Ye led them to the back entrance where a tall heavily build guard in dark robes with a sword strapped to his waist stood, the guard didn't say a word and allowed them in.

Si Ning knew going in easily must be due to Jiang Ye's preparation and he was impressed nodding his head in affirmation as they entered the narrow passage and just as expected, it reaks of incense and strong perfume.

Not again.
