Chapter 108 Death to Schemes IV

"However, whether or not this will succeed, I don't know yet. After all, it still hasn't been tested." Qingyan looked to Murong Jingxuan and replied with a serious look.

"What new ideas do you have now?" A thought surfaced in Murong Jingxuan's mind, "Don't tell me you're thinking...?"

"That's right, I'll use Su Qingyuan as a starter, let her become my puppet first. However, whether or not it will succeed, I don't know yet." Qingyan spoke in an indifferent tone.

"Then why don't you try it tonight?" For some reason, whenever he was with her, Murong Jingxuan would always feel as if his feelings were getting pulled along by a thread.

"I also have such intentions. But don't blame me, if something is not satisfactory." Qingyan continued in a low voice, "However, I can return now." With that said, Qingyan pulled open the door and walked out.

"I'll go find you at night."

Hearing Murong Jingxuan's voice, Qingyan turned around to him and nodded.

After Qingyan returned to Yingshuang yard, she saw Su Yun and Luo Bing absentmindedly sitting there with a heavy expression.

"Yan'er...." Su Yun raised his head to look at her, yet he didn't know how he should explain. Thinking back on Xuanyuan Yufan's words during the Imperial court session today, he furrowed his brows.

"Father, mother, your daughter isn't a child anymore." Qingyan saw their tightly knitted brows. Something bad must have happened to have made Su Yun and Luo Bing make that kind of expression.

And for them to make that kind of expression, could it be this matter was related to her?

"Father, mother, since this matter is related to me, I have a right to know." Qingyan looked to the two of them with a serious look.

Hearing her words, Su Yun looked up to her. With a single glance, it really made him feel as if this girl before him has really grown up, so much so that it made him have a somewhat strange feeling. This daughter before him gave off the feeling of someone in a high position, looking down from above. But his daughter wasn't even of age* yet, how could she have this kind of display?

(*T/N: In ancient China, coming of age ceremony is performed for daughters at their 15th birthday. This also indicates they're ready for marriage.)

doesn't act this time, I would also act."

"Jingxuan, could Miss Su have already thought of a good counterattack?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Murong Jingxuan, still speaking in a calm manner.

"Naturally." Murong Jingxuan looked to Xuanyuan Yuzhen and bent the corner of his lips, "If he wants to marry Yan'er, he'll have to see if he has that capability or not."

"Oh. What's the plan? Let me hear it." Xuanyuan Yuzhen spoke with an interested look.

Murong Jingxuan generally never hid anything from Xuanyuan Yuzhen, so repeated Qingyan's plan to him. After hearing this plan, Xuanyuan Yuzhen shook his head, "Jingxuan, this girl really resembles you when you were younger!"

Murong Jingxuan couldn't help but curve his lips when he heard this from Xuanyuan Yuzhen, "Yan'er's method, naturally is good, else I wouldn't mind sending Xuanyuan Yufan off myself."

"But whether or not this puppet will succeed, I still don't know yet." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to him and shook his head, "Do you have any better ideas to make second brother stay put temporarily."

Murong Jingxuan shook his head, "At the moment, no, but there will be a way. Perhaps Yan'er also has another plan."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen thought of that young girl's tender smile and softly chuckled, "Jingxuan, if it wasn't for the fact that you like that girl, I'm afraid even I would want to steal her away."

Hearing his words, Murong Jingxuan curved his lips, "What, now you know my Yan'er is good. Too bad it's too late now."
