Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"Who is the new-school noble daughter participating this time?"

If they want to participate in the selection, the new nobles will definitely modify their family tree in advance, otherwise it will be too late to modify it after something happens.

"The latest record says she is the seventh illegitimate daughter of the Fang family." Si Ruochen replied.

The young lady was about the same age as Jiang Xue, so he was impressed by her.

"The Seventh Miss of the Fang family, huh? Your Highness, I'll leave this girl to you."

Since she is willing to go there in disguise, Shangguan Jin should naturally be responsible for handling her subsequent matters.

"Please rest assured, I have my own opinion on this matter."

After saying that, Shangguan Jin ordered an attendant to come forward and whispered a few words in his ear. The man then left as ordered.

In the following days, Jiang Xue has been preparing for the upcoming selection. Xiao Zhan, Jiang Chen and others have made careful plans to ensure her safety, and Jiang Chen's cooperation with them is almost seamless.

At the same time, Si Ruochen frequently went in and out of the Zongzheng Mansion under various identities to collect relevant intelligence.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day of selecting noble ladies has arrived. Jiang Xue put on the mask specially prepared by Si Ruochen, transformed into the appearance of the seventh lady of the Fang family, and stepped into the gate of Cao's mansion.

When she arrived, several newly-promoted daughters of nobles were already waiting in the courtyard, looking frightened and uneasy.

A red curtain was set up in the middle of the yard, with a red bed and bedding inside, creating an unsettling atmosphere. Although it was just a simple red curtain, it gave people a feeling of oppression.

When the noble ladies saw the curtain, their faces turned even paler and their bodies trembled slightly. It was obvious that they knew what terrible things would happen next.

Outside the curtain, there were many young guards from Cao's mansion. Their eyes kept sweeping over these noble girls, their eyes filled with undisguised desire.

Most of these guards came from poor backgrounds. If it weren't for Cao Yuan's grace, how would they have had the opportunity to come into contact with these noble daughters.

This special "treatment" is not only a reward for their loyalty, but also a means to control them.

Jiang Xue knew Cao Yuan's tricks. Although they were despicable, they were very effective against the guards. As the prime minister of the dynasty, Cao Yuan had an extremely accurate grasp of human nature.

"The Prime Minister has arrived, and the Third Young Master has arrived."

A moment later, following a notification, Cao Yuan and Cao Ling stepped into the yard.

"Ling'er, go and show your abilities." Cao Yuan waved his hand, glanced at the group of graceful women in front of him, then sat down leisurely and handed the important task of the selection to Cao Ling.

Cao Yuan's determination this time was obvious. He was determined to let Cao Ling inherit the Cao family business. All the secret affairs behind the Cao family would be taken over and handled by Cao Ling himself.

Cao Ling nodded slightly and walked slowly towards the group of ladies from prominent families.

He examined them one by one, gently lifting their chins with his fingers, his eyes deep, as if he was evaluating each precious piece of art.

However, there was no warmth in his eyes. In his eyes, these women seemed to be just commodities to be sold.

When one woman met his eyes, the fear in her eyes was so deep that her legs trembled, she could not stand, and finally fell to the ground.

Cao Ling's eyes flashed with disdain, "How can such a coward like you deserve the favor of His Highness the Fourth Prince?" He ordered coldly, "Take him away and deal with him as you see fit."

Upon hearing this, the followers pounced on the woman like hungry wolves, dragged her by the ankles and pulled her into the red tent.

The woman's screams broke the silence, but no one came to help.

Under the beastly crime, the life of the once beautiful woman quickly faded away, and she eventually died in endless humiliation and pain.

However, those followers who had lost their humanity did not stop. They vented their desires like wild beasts and would not leave until they were satisfied.

The remaining women witnessed this horrific scene, and fear surged in their hearts like a tide.

They were spoiled ladies from wealthy families and had never seen such a hellish scene before. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they fell to the ground one after another.

Their fate did not change because of this, and they were still thrown one by one by Cao Ling into the red tent that was like purgatory.

In the end, only two women remained in front of Cao Ling, Jiang Xue and another woman with a strange face.

Although there was anger in the strange woman's eyes, her face was as calm as water, which made Jiang Xue very interested in her.

"This is interesting." Cao Yuan stood up and looked between the two women. "There are actually two candidates."

"Ling'er, why not give it a try?" He said lightly, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince doesn't like young girls."

Cao Ling sneered and looked back at Cao Yuan, "Two at a time, I can't handle it. How about father helping me share one?"

There was a glimmer of cunning in Cao Yuan's eyes. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. "Since Ling'er has asked, how can a father refuse?" He laughed and chose the woman next to Jiang Xue, and left the compound with her in satisfaction.

Cao Ling hugged Jiang Xue's waist with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to merge her into his body. "Since Miss Si has come to me on her own initiative, how can I let you down?" He smiled evilly, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Xue was surprised that Cao Ling exposed her disguise right away.

Their plan should have been flawless, so what went wrong?

He was pulled into the house by Cao Ling, and as soon as the door was closed, he pushed Jiang Xue to the door.

Cao Ling supported himself on the door frame with both hands, leaned forward, sneered, and reached out to tear Jiang Xue's clothes.

But before he could do anything, something pressed against his waist.

Looking down, he saw that it was the hand weapon that Jiang Xue had taken out. "I thought I could hide it for a little longer, but I didn't expect Third Master Cao to be so perceptive and see through it so quickly."

Jiang Xue increased the strength in her hands, and Cao Ling couldn't help but take two steps back.

"This is the Cao family. You know how many people are in this house. If you use a weapon, it will make a lot of noise. If you don't want to be shot to death by the Cao family's guards, you'd better put away your weapon."

Cao Ling had seen the power of this weapon before, having seen it from Shangguan Xi. So when he saw Jiang Xue take out the weapon, he immediately did not dare to act rashly.

"As long as I can control you, the head of the Cao family, those men dare not do anything to me?" Jiang Xue sneered and raised her arms.

Cao Ling's face darkened. He had originally planned to ask her to put away her weapon, but he didn't expect that he would be suppressed by her instead.

Looking at the black sword, cold sweat broke out on Cao Ling's forehead.

"I'm very curious, how did Third Master Cao recognize me?"

"The seventh young lady of the Fang family has always been timid and will never persevere to the end." Cao Ling replied.

"I see. I was indeed negligent this time. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Third Young Master Cao." Jiang Xue's smile made Cao Ling feel humiliated. She didn't take him seriously at all.
