"Sigh." Bai Jinfeng sighed deeply, standing up from the sofa with a dissatisfied look on his face, "You're just going to repay your savior like that?"

As soon as the man came, he dragged the man away, not putting him in his eyes at all.

Yin Yanyue turned her head and looked at him one last time, only saying two words, "Thank you."

After saying that, she grabbed the young nobleman and prepared to leave.

"Just you wait." White Gold Maple took out a pen from his suit and a piece of paper with one hundred yuan on it. "Write a promissory note."

Yin Chengyue frowned as he looked at the money on the table, "What do you want?"

What did the White Gold Maple lack? Are you short of money?

He did not lack anything at all. The only thing he lacked was his brain.

"A meal." He handed her the pen and smiled at her. "I'll choose the place and the time."

Yin Yanyue took his pen and looked down at the one hundred yuan on the table, "Can't you take a small amount of money?"

To write a promissory note on the money, that was one thing, but it was still a hundred yuan.

"This is the smallest number." As he spoke, he took out his wallet and opened it for her to see.

All he had left in his wallet was a pile of cards and dollars.

These hundred yuan were truly the smallest amount.

Yin Yeyue admitted defeat.

Without a word, he wrote down the promissory note and handed it to him.

After receiving the money from her, White Gold Maple suddenly blurted out a few words, "Remember to pick up my call."

"Depends."

Yin Yanyue gave a fake smile, "Maybe he's very busy."

Being busy was just an excuse, not answering his phone was the real thing.

Bai Jinfeng's expression immediately darkened, at this moment, Yin Yanyue had already pulled the young noble out of the room.

The car was parked outside the hotel. Yin Xiaoyue silently followed behind the viscount and got on the car. Her thoughts were far away and she almost didn't notice the viscount's mood.

Last night's incident definitely wasn't that simple. If it hadn't been for the fact that they'd met by chance with Bai Jinfeng, something big might have happened to her today.

For the sake of the palace's fortune, Fang Man was willing to use any means at his disposal.

"Headache?"

The voice of the viscount suddenly pulled her thoughts back to reality.

Yin Yanyue turned his head to look at his eyes and slowly shook his head.

His head didn't hurt, but he felt a bit irritated.

She had been caught up in the struggle for the palace's property for no reason at all.

The viscount didn't say anything more and started the car, heading in the direction of the villa.

By the time they got home, it was already noon. When they drove in, they could see Tang Ao Shan standing in front of the door, waiting for them.

"It's a good thing you're fine."

She was relieved when she saw Yin Yanyue get off the car. "I was afraid something would happen to you."

Yesterday, after she drank a cup of tea, she slept in her room the whole time. She never woke up, never expecting that by the time she woke up, Yin Chengyue's figure was already gone.

If something really happened to Yin Chengyue, she would have to bear part of the responsibility.

Yin Yanyue looked at her but did not reply.

Tang Shan thought Yin Xianyue was blaming her. She thought she was the one who put the medicine in the tea, so she started to explain, "The medicine wasn't mine. I drank that tea too and felt dizzy. How could I …"

"Enough."

Yin Yanyue frowned and interrupted her, "I know you didn't do it."

She wasn't so stupid as to be unable to distinguish between right and wrong.

Since she had already said so, Tang Ao Shan was momentarily at a loss for words. She could only remain silent.

Yin Yanyue didn't say much. She stepped into the villa and asked Aunt Wang, who was in the living room, "What do you want to eat?"

She hadn't eaten dinner last night, and she hadn't eaten breakfast this morning. Now that it was noon, she was already hungry.

Aunt Wang kept saying, "What does Miss Yin want to eat?" "It's just time for lunch."

Yin Yanyue nodded, "Then eat …"

"I'll make you some instant noodles."

Before she could finish her words, the voice of the viscount interrupted her.

After saying that, he took off his suit jacket, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and started walking in the direction of the kitchen.

Yin Yanyue stared at his back blankly for a moment. She didn't say anything and just walked to the living room's sofa and sat down. She seemed to be waiting for him to make her noodles.

Tang Ao Shan stood there blankly for a few seconds, before he followed her and sat on the sofa, "What happened last night?"

Looking at her worried eyes, it was as if something big had happened.

"Nothing."

Yin Yanyue pursed her lips. She didn't seem to have any emotions on her face and didn't seem to want to say anything more.

Although she had escaped death last night, Fang Man definitely wouldn't just let it go like this. She would definitely find another way to frame her.

"As long as nothing happened."

Tang Ao Shan sighed and said repeatedly, "Next time you have to be more careful. Who would have thought that she would lure the tiger out of the mountain, saying that she wanted to pour some juice, but in the end she put medicine in the tea."

Yin Yanyue just listened to her and didn't plan on replying.

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything more, Tang Ao Shan silently sat to the side.

Within a few minutes, the viscount had already prepared a bowl of noodles and Aunt Wang had served lunch.

Following that, the viscount and Tang Ao Shan were having lunch while Yin Xiaoyue was eating a bowl of instant noodles by herself.

There was nothing to say. Everyone just kept their heads down and ate without saying a word.

The atmosphere had sunk. Aunt Wang, who was standing aside, could feel the change in the atmosphere.

It was only when Yin Yeyue suddenly put down her chopsticks and got up from the chair that the silence was broken.

"I'm done eating."

She put away her bowl and chopsticks and placed them in the kitchen sink. Then, she decided to head upstairs.

However, just as she took a few steps, the voice of the viscount sounded from behind her, "Let's talk."

Talk?

What about?

Was it about the engagement again, or was it about last night?

Yin Yanyue frowned slightly, as if she was hesitating on whether or not to talk to him. Right now, she was very tired and didn't want to waste time on anything.

"We'll talk about it tonight."

She let out a breath and went upstairs.

Now that she didn't even have a clear idea of how she should decide this matter, it would be useless even if she talked to the young noble of the palace.

She wanted to clear her mind first.

"Mister Gong!"

When Yin Chengyue's figure reached the stairs, Aunt Wang suddenly ran in from outside the door with a hurried expression, "Master Gong is here."

The young noble immediately frowned, his expression changing uncontrollably.

Yin Yanyue stopped in her tracks and turned around to look in the direction of the gate.

As expected, a few seconds later, Gong Ao's figure slowly appeared in front of the door.

Yin Yanyue walked up the stairs and took them down again. He turned back the same way he came, and respectfully greeted Gong Ao, "Grandfather."

"Dad."

The young noble stood up from the table and walked in his direction, "What brings you here?"

Gong Ao's expression wasn't good, his cold eyes swept across everyone present, yet he didn't say a single word.

The chilling murderous aura that he exuded permeated the entire hall.
