In the boudoir of "Miss Gongsun", Yan'er sat blankly on the bed, her gray eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and her whole person was like a puppet that had lost its soul, without any life at all.
This was what Gongsun Cheng saw when he came in. Although Yan'er didn't look so embarrassed after being cleaned up by the maid, the disgusting smell that filled the air still made him feel a little disgusted in his heart.
But after all, he still didn't show it in front of others. After all, Yan'er was still his "sister" in name, so Gongsun Chengping withdrew and waited until there was no one around before he said: "Since he has wanted you, then
Just stay with him and if you can win his favor, your life will be easier."
Yan'er's dull eyes moved slightly, and tears slid down her cheeks unconsciously. At this moment, she felt that her persistence and efforts seemed so pitiful, and the phantom of the young man in her heart was finally broken.
Facing Yan'er's silent crying at this moment, Gongsun Cheng only felt bored. He was not an idiot, so how could he not see that this girl had once been devoted to him.
Rather, it is precisely because Yan'er has this intention in his heart that he specifically chooses the other party to execute this plan. As long as this friendship is there, the other party will not betray him easily.
Logically speaking, now that Yan'er was so humiliated by Lu Peng, Gongsun Cheng should have comforted her with a good voice, but when it came to his words, it turned into a cold and repulsive person.
Gongsun Cheng originally wanted to stay with the other party, but when he thought of what had just happened, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and left after a few words.
Yan'er stared blankly at Gongsun Cheng's leaving figure, tears welling up in her eyes, but her hoarse throat seemed to have lost the ability to grieve, and she could only leave this silent pain under the faceless moonlight.
.
Every maid in the courtyard was like a puppet walking dead, with their heads lowered and never interfering in matters outside the scope of their duties. The huge courtyard was as silent as a ghostland.
Yan'er, whose heart was filled with despair, fell into a drowsy sleep at some point. In her dream, she seemed to be humiliated and bullied by Lu Peng again, and the pain woke her up.
The soaked clothes clung to her hot body. The cold wind blew by, making Yan'er shiver. She subconsciously got up to close the window, but suddenly found a pair of bright eyes on the windowsill looking through the moonlight.
, staring closely at himself.
The person hanging upside down on the window sill looked like a huge bat. His playful eyes fell on her, which immediately made her feel chilly: "Come on -!"
Yan'er's words for help were stuck in her throat. She was tapped on her acupoints by the man. At this moment, she could only watch in horror as the man walked into the house unscrupulously and stared at her as if he was sizing up a piece of merchandise.
"Such a beauty as beautiful as a flower could be so easily given to Lu Peng to be wasted with the pewter spear tip. Young Master Gongsun is really cruel." The man lifted Yan'er's chin and said frivolously.
These words made Yan'er blush with embarrassment. If it was only a matter of time before she was forced to hypnotize herself by Lu Peng, then if she was humiliated by this person again, she would die immediately. What kind of shame would she have left in the world?
.
But fortunately, although this man behaved frivolously, he had no evil thoughts towards her. Instead, after restraining her, he took out something from behind his back.
Seeing the true appearance of the thing, if it hadn't been for the acupuncture points, Yan'er almost screamed, it was actually a skull.
The man chuckled and said softly: "Miss Yan'er is so panicked, I'm afraid it's a bit unfilial. This is your father, how can you have such an attitude."
Yan'er was confused, not only because the other party revealed her true identity, but also because of what the other party said, your father? What did he mean?
The man put the skull on the table and left a letter. He said: "Girl, this letter contains the whole truth. If you still have some kindness and filial piety towards your father, just open it and read it."
Look."
After that, he untied Yan'er's acupuncture points, turned over and jumped out of the window, disappearing into the night in a few breaths.
After the man left the yard, he walked around a corner and took off his clothes. When he came out again, he became an ordinary servant of the Gongsun family. He held a lantern and began the boring night watch.
.
Yan'er, who was in the room, was sitting on the ground and gasping for air. She recalled the strange words of this mysterious man and her heart beat wildly. Before today, she would never have believed such nonsense.
But Gongsun Cheng's cold-blooded ruthlessness today broke her heart. She missed her father more than she did now, so by some strange coincidence, Yan'er didn't call for someone to catch the thief, but slowly walked to the table and borrowed the help of
Moonlight opened the letter.
There are only a few lines in the letter, which record the time when the guard Li Quan traveled and was killed, as well as the name of the final envoy - Gongsun Cheng.
After reading it, Yan'er's first reaction was disbelief, because she really couldn't think of any reason for Gongsun Cheng to kill her father.
But everything that happened today made her firm heart waver a little. Gongsun Cheng's change was chilling. Although she didn't think that the other party would do such a heartbreaking thing, but what if...
...
Yan'er couldn't help but start thinking wildly. She tossed and turned on the bed, still unable to fall asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Yan'er was about to be driven crazy by the chaotic thoughts in her mind. Regardless of everyone's obstruction, she forced her way into Gongsun Cheng's yard. At this time, the other party was inviting Tianquan and others to have breakfast.
Seeing Yan'er barging in with disheveled clothes and no regard for etiquette, Gongsun Cheng immediately scolded her with a straight face: "Sister! There are guests here, why are you so wanton? You are going to get married one day, why are you still so willful?
!”
After the reprimand, Gongsun Cheng apologized to Tianquan and others: "My sister doesn't understand etiquette and makes you laugh."
Naturally, a few people wouldn't mind. After all, no matter who encounters something like last night, they probably won't be able to deal with it calmly. In their eyes, Yan'er's rude behavior is completely normal.
Gongsun Cheng introduced both parties calmly, but Yan'er had no intention of playing tricks with him and directly asked, "Do you have any news about Guard Li?"
After all, Yan'er didn't completely lose her mind and didn't call out her father, otherwise today's scene would probably be chaotic again.
Hearing the other party's question, Gongsun Cheng's expression changed. Although he quickly covered up the past, Yan'er still noticed it. She immediately asked nervously: "Did something happen to him? Tell me quickly!"
Until now, Yan'er still didn't doubt that Gongsun Cheng was murderous. She only suspected that he had concealed Li Quan's death.
When Gongsun Cheng saw Yan'er's reaction, he secretly thought that something was wrong. If he let the other party know that Li Quan was dead, even if he wouldn't make a big fuss, he would probably be depressed for a while, which would not be conducive to him winning over Lu Peng.
So after thinking about it, Gongsun Cheng looked back at Tianquan, and his heart moved slightly. He smiled and said: "Sister, I know you are kind-hearted, but there is no need to make a fuss. Uncle Li is safe. Look at these knights."
, they came from Shu, and Uncle Li is currently recuperating in Shu."
