Chapter 37

Lan Ji forced himself to finish the last few sentences. After he spoke, he took a few steps back and did not dare the lift up his head.

The temperature in the air seemed to have dropped all of a sudden.

Lan Ji was terrified.

“Your master needed two slaves, right?” Su Yu asked Yun Feng as he tried to change the subject.

Yun Feng was about to look at Lan Ji with sympathy, but he had already disappeared from the Deity Pavilion.

“Hahahaha!” Yun Feng laughed heartily. “Look what you did to poor Lan Ji. I’m positive that he wouldn’t dare to show his face in front of you for the next two weeks.”

Su Yu glared at him wordlessly.

“What do you plan to do? Han Jing was bestowed as Princess Chen Yu. The hideous, arrogant, and ruthless woman. You, and you…” Yun Feng did not dare not continue with the sentence, but he forced himself to finish it. “After all, she is your relative. The woman didn’t die, so something must be wrong!”

Su Yu lowered his head, and he looked indifferent, as though nothing had happened.

Yun Feng was astonished. “Are you even human? The woman nearly lost her life because of you! If your sister found out that you harmed her daughter, she would kill you!”

“Find an opportunity to take her pulse and see if she is alright,” Su Yu ordered.

“Is there anything else you wanted to say other than this?” Yun Feng asked.

“I’ve said everything I needed to say,” Su Yu replied.

That **** had already mentioned that no matter what happened to her, he would protect her, although he did not actually know what happened then. Su Yu stopped at that moment, as though fate brought them together. He feared and hated women. Since she was the only woman he had ever touched and he was still alive, he made it his responsibility to protect her.

Yun Feng glanced at Su Yu and shook his head. It was challenging to have a conversation with that man. It was hard to catch his thoughts, No average human could catch his rhythm.

Xu Chong investigated on his own. He could do it much faster than the others, but he was still a step too slow compared to Lan Ji since all the evidence was erased by Lan Ji by the time Xu Chong discovered it.

“My Lady, we were too late. Someone has destroyed the evidence related to this matter. I could only find that Han Yuxiao bribed a servant in Peony Pavilion that evening to drug your tea. The servant in the Peony Pavilion wouldn’t serve in the house without an order, thus she wasn’t sure what happened that evening. That’s all I got. I think the Baihua Compound master was the one who issued the order to erase every trace of evidence. “Xu Chong never thought that he would be too late as he acted immediately after Han Jing ordered him to investigate the matter.

Han Jing was surprised. “The master of the Baihua Compound? Who is it? How did you know it was him?”

Xu Chong replied, “The master of the Baihua Compound is Prince Yu—the only person in Hanjing City who was able to hide the entire matter in such a short time.”
