"Yan'Er, now that the prince has gone to the borders and placed the huge manor in your hands, you should go and settle the matters at hand. Leave the matters here to your father." Gu Cheng's face darkened, but when he looked at Gu Daiyan, his expression softened.

It was too obvious.

Gu Liuyan thought like this, but then he thought that if the white-clad man hadn't said that she would acknowledge her father as a thief, she might have even tried to justify Gu Cheng's actions, thinking that he just didn't like her mother and didn't want to find another lover.

However, with Madam Gu and Gu Cheng both behaving in such a manner, she couldn't help but suspect them.

"Since that's the case, Yan'Er will return to the Royal Mansion first." Gu Danyan nodded and left.

Returning to the palace, a ghost that hadn't returned for the entire night steadily landed at her side, rejecting the servant next to her. He said in a low voice, "The one who wrote that character was a group of girls, seven or eight in appearance.

It seemed like it wasn't wrong for her to make ghosts go to the Prime Minister's mansion from time to time.

"Did you follow them?"

"One of the girls noticed me. When I secretly followed her, they all disappeared into the empty courtyard. I searched around for a long time, but didn't find any secret passages. I was originally planning to tell you about it when you woke up." The ghostly voice gradually died down.

Gu Danyan raised an eyebrow. It should be the secret guard that Duan Chengxuan left behind was by her side, so she decided to just stay silent.

After returning to the manor, Su Yuwan, who was dressed in a fiery red robe, no longer had her usual elegant and elegant appearance. She only raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Mingyan. "Why are you back so early?"

"Of course it's to come back and take care of the important matters of the mansion. If you go out to meet your lover, be careful not to let the people who are protecting you see." Gu Danyan sneered. She was angry to the point that she was grinding her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.

However, Gu Liuyan hadn't seen Doctor Mu Qing for a long time.

Mu Qing seemed to be even more taciturn than usual. Even the Embroidered Embroidery was starting to cower before Su Yu Wan.

"However, something has happened to Sky Flame recently. I'll send a few servants to follow you. We'll rush back before nightfall." With that, Gu Daiyan made a hand gesture towards Qing Dai, then left the hall with Qing Dai and Phantom Demon.

Su Yu Wan gritted her teeth, but still went outside boldly.

After walking for a while, Mu Qing stopped all the people who were following him in the dark before they left the city. He stood at the city gate with his servants and waited.

Su Yu Wan walked all the way to a small teahouse on the side of the road outside Sky Flame City. She walked up to the second floor and Zhu Yan had just finished adding two cups of tea.

"You're here." Zhu Yan's gaze no longer lingered on her body, falling into the cup.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Why did you suddenly stop contacting me earlier? I was really worried." Su Yuwan said gently. She leaned her body against Zhu Yan and continued, "I heard that you were shaking hands with Gu Yan. I became even more worried."

"What are you worried about?" Zhu Yan carried the tea himself and looked at Su Yuwan carefully. "Now that the poison in my father's body has almost completely healed, I naturally believe in her."

"Then you don't believe me?" Su Yuwan hooked her chin with a smile, and lightly kissed the corner of his mouth: "You clearly know that I still have you in my heart, and I let Mu Qing study the antidote for you for a long time, why aren't you willing to believe me?"

Zhu Yan remained motionless and could only watch as Su Yu Wan sat on her lap.

"Brother Yan, you once said that you would protect me thoroughly in this life. As long as you help me, I can cover for you regarding the Mirage now. I guarantee that nothing will happen to you and your sister." Su Yuwan's eyes sparkled. It was unknown when her clothes had been torn off.

"If Duke Jing knew, he would kill me." Zhu Yan pushed her away with a sullen face while he stiffly stood up, his heart already in turmoil.

As her eyes darkened, Su Yuwan could only gather up her clothes and sit upright. She still wanted to reminisce, but the screen beside her was pushed down to the ground with a bang. Su Yuwan jumped out and a long blade landed firmly on her neck.

"What are you doing!" Zhu Yan stood up with a clap of his hands.

"Brother!" I am afraid that you will be bewitched by this wicked woman! Didn't she want us to turn the tables and help her deal with Gu Liuyan! "In my opinion, none of these two women is good!" The Scarlet Scorpion's face was cold. The longblade in her hand didn't dare to actually push forward a bit, fearing that Zhu Yan would fall out with her.

Zhu Yan's face turned completely black. "Put the knife down!"

"I'll let you go after you explain yourself." The Scarlet Scorpion did not let him go and instead looked at him with its neck erect.

Su Yu Wan trembled with fear as she looked at the Scarlet Scorpion. She didn't dare to provoke Zhu Yan, this hot-tempered little sister. She could only look pitifully at Zhu Yan as tears also fell from her eyes, "Big brother Yan …"

"He's my brother!" When the Scarlet Scorpion saw her appearance, it was immediately angered. "Back then, this was how you grabbed my brother's heart. Do you still want to repeat the same old trick now!?"

"Scarlet Scorpion!"

"Brother!" The Scarlet Scorpion's face was red with anger as he glared at Zhu Yan.

The two siblings stayed in a stalemate for a while. Zhu Yan closed his eyes with a headache, "Su Yu Wan, we are doing pretty well now. We don't want to bother with your matters anymore."

"Then why did you steal Madam Yun's coffin? It wasn't for the sake of restraining Gu Danyan …"

"We didn't do it at all." Zhu Yan took advantage of the moment that the Scarlet Scorpion was stunned and dragged her to his side. Seeing that Su Yuwan was still standing there stunned, she continued: "I have no enmity with Gu Daiyan, so I will not help you in the future."

"Then you promised to protect me for the rest of my life." Su Yuwan ran over while crying.

This time, what stopped her was the long saber in Zhu Yan's hand.

"You promised to stay with me for the rest of your life." His gaze landed on Su Yu Wan's crying face as he continued, "Moreover, the two of us owe Princess Ling'er a favor. She likes the empress dowager and the fourth prince the most, so no matter what, I won't do anything to them in the future."

The scorpion let out a sigh of relief and dragged Zhu Yan away.

The two siblings had once wandered the martial arts world due to the grudge between the Mirage and the Yun clan. If it wasn't for Zhu Yan's mission at that time to not give Su Yuwan happiness, he wouldn't have protected her in secret.

Before leaving, scorpion also glanced at Su Yuwan: "You trample over another person's sincerity. In the future, don't try to obtain her sincerity. Although Gu Danyan is a bad woman, she's much better than you."

With that, Zhu Yan covered her mouth and dragged her away with a dark expression.

The wind outside the window brushed against her exposed skin, causing Su Yu Wan to clench her fists.

What right did someone like Gu Liuyan have to obtain everything from birth? And now, even Zhu Yan had been taken away by her. Just what was this for!?
