"Pfft..."
A basin of cold water was splashed onto "Li Feng."
"Li Feng" instantly woke up.
The cold water pierced him, soaking his robes.
Upon waking, upon seeing Gu Qianying, he trembled in fear.
He also looked around several times, searching for Song Yu'er.
"Stop looking, she's not here."
As the words fell, Gu Qianying stepped forward and kicked "Li Feng" fiercely.
As "Li Feng" cried out in pain, Lu Zhu quickly stuffed a cloth into his mouth.
Gu Qianying kicked Li Feng several times. Dissatisfied, Lu Zhu handed her a dagger.
Gu Qianying took the dagger, leaned down, and violently grabbed "Li Feng's" collar, bringing her face close to his.
She pressed the tip of the dagger against his face: "You scoundrel, how dare you touch Yu'er? Are you even human? Hmm? She was so innocent, and you got her pregnant. You bastard, you deserve to die!"
The dagger tip grazed "Li Feng's" face.
Blood welled up.
Li Feng whimpered in pain but could not speak a word.
Seeing this, Gu Qianying removed the object she had stuffed into his mouth.
"Spare me, noble lady, spare me! I beg you to let me go, I was wrong."
Li Feng panicked, extremely afraid of Gu Qianying.
"Let you go? Humph!"
"Is the eldest young master of the Han family so cowardly? Since Young Master Han got our Yu'er pregnant, shouldn't you be marrying her now? Hmm?"
"I... my father, he... he doesn't agree..."
Before he could finish speaking.
"Slap!"
Gu Qianying slapped "Li Feng" across the face.
"Doesn't agree? You bastard, you still touched her, you truly deserve to die!"
The dagger tip was pressed deeper into his face.
Gu Qianying was furious.
A woman's reputation was so important, yet this scoundrel had so cruelly tarnished it!
She knew much about Song Yu'er's experiences.
It was precisely because of this that she felt Song Yu'er was a pitiable person.
A kind-hearted, pitiable little sister.
And now, this person had encountered a scumbag.
If Song Yu'er were to know the truth, she couldn't imagine what would happen to her next.
Furthermore, her god-sister, Song Yu'er, was now carrying the scumbag's child.
How would she live her life in the future?
Gu Qianying was filled with worry.
After a moment, she calmed her emotions and dropped the dagger.
She walked to a chair and slowly sat down.
Her voice was cold: "Help Young Master Li, no, help the eldest young master of the Han family up, and sit down. Have a cup of tea with this sect leader."
As she spoke, two maids stepped forward and helped "Li Feng" up.
When Li Feng stood, his legs were weak, and his cheeks were still stained with blood.
"Tend to Young Master Han's wounds."
Without looking at him, Gu Qianying said lazily.
He had been on the brink of death moments ago, and now he was being treated like this.
"Li Feng" was overwhelmed with gratitude and truly couldn't understand.
When he fell into Gu Qianying's hands and saw her capabilities, he understood how formidable she was.
Under such circumstances, all he wanted was to survive.
After his facial wounds were treated, "Li Feng" cautiously sat opposite Gu Qianying.
Lu Zhu poured him a cup of tea, but he dared not drink it.
At this moment, Gu Qianying glanced at Lu Zhu.
Lu Zhu understood and immediately led the attending maids out.
As they left, they closed the door and waited outside.
When they were alone, Gu Qianying put down her teacup and looked up at "Li Feng."
"Eldest Young Master Han, if I'm not mistaken, within the entire Han family, your father, Han Chenglin, values your second brother, Han Yici, the most, not you, am I right?"
She had already sent people to investigate the Han family beforehand.
Among the three children of the Han family, she had seen a portrait of Han Yici and heard that Han Yi possessed a token that could command the Han Yu army.
As for the eldest young master of the Han family, Han Xuan, who was this "Li Feng" before her.
He had almost no say in the Han family.
Speaking of this matter.
"Li Feng's" expression changed.
He looked at Gu Qianying in disbelief: "You..."
He wanted to ask how she knew this.
But meeting Gu Qianying's icy gaze.
He was so frightened that he swallowed his words.
Seeing that he remained silent, Gu Qianying slightly raised her sleeve.
She tossed a small medicine bottle into Li Feng's hand: "Eldest Young Master Han, this is your antidote. Take it, and the poison in your body will disappear."
Holding the small medicine bottle, "Li Feng" did not move, looking down at it.
At this moment, he was very confused. He didn't know what this female demon intended.
She had clearly poisoned him moments ago, and now she was giving him an antidote.
Was this truly an antidote?
"Li Feng" dared not eat it.
"Don't worry, it's not poison. Eldest Young Master Han is now the father of my Yu'er's child, and the husband Yu'er, my god-sister, will marry. If anything happens to you, my sister Yu'er will lose her husband, and the child in her belly will lose its father."
"I don't want to see Yu'er sad, so... you can rest assured, this life of yours, this sect leader will not take."
Gu Qianying's aura was very strong.
The disdain in her eyes, Han Xuan (since his identity was mentioned, I used his real name.) sitting opposite her.
Han Xuan was very angry, feeling insulted, but he dared not show it.
Gu Qianying, too lazy to look at his expression, continued: "Since you will be this sect leader's brother-in-law in the future, this sect leader naturally won't trouble you anymore. However... doesn't Young Master Han want to become the head of the Han family? Do you, Eldest Young Master Han, want to continue to be overshadowed by your younger brother?"
"Miss Gu, what do you mean?"
Han Xuan took a sip of tea, calming his emotions.
"This sect leader's meaning is very clear. The reason your Han family has been calculating step by step is merely to become the new generation of leaders in this Western Region."
"And to become the king in the Western Region, you must face two families: the Baili family, and the Song family."
"Let alone the Baili family, just the Song family. The current Song family, this sect leader doesn't need to guess, it must be that your father, Han Chenglin, has already begun cooperating with Song Panyang."
"But Young Master Song, have you ever considered that even if the Baili family is gone, there is still the Song family? Do you Han family members truly believe that Song Panyang's cooperation with your Han family is sincere? Heh, he merely wants to defeat the Baili family first, and then he will continue to scheme against your Han family."
A person who seeks to dominate, your Han family has it, and Song Panyang also has it.
"Even if, to take a step back, even if your Han family becomes the greatest family and dominates this region, but... the succession will not be yours, Eldest Young Master Han. If this sect leader can support you, not only making you the head of the Han family, but also the highest authority in this Western Region, would you be willing?"
Gu Qianying looked at Han Xuan.
Listening to her words, Han Xuan's hand holding the teacup trembled.
He was shocked, disbelieving, and taken by surprise.
Seeing his silence.
Gu Qianying's gaze grew colder: "What? Eldest Young Master Han, do you think you lack the courage?"
"No, no, no, I am willing, I am very willing."
Han Xuan, having recovered, immediately replied.
"However... I have three conditions. As long as Eldest Young Master Han agrees to these three conditions, this sect leader will clear all obstacles for Young Master Han."
Gu Qianying played with the teacup lid.
"What conditions?"
Han Xuan immediately asked.
Gu Qianying said nonchalantly: "First, after Eldest Young Master Han clears the obstacles and becomes the new city lord, Song Yu'er will be your wife. Second, besides Yu'er, you cannot accept any other women. Third, do not lay a hand on Song Wuji, Baili Su of the Baili family, or Baili Jingxuan!"
Song Yu'er was already pregnant with the child of this scumbag, Han Xuan.
If he were to kill the Han family directly, Song Yu'er would lose her Li Feng, and she would be sad.
The child in her belly would also lose its father.
Such an outcome was unwise.
Song Yu'er would be very sad.
She did not want to see her god-sister, Song Yu'er, sad.
Moreover, she was not someone who could stay here for long.
She and her friends would eventually leave this place.
She was very worried about how Song Yu'er would live after she left.
For this reason, wanting to provide Song Yu'er with a stable life, she had to prepare a perfect fallback plan for her now.
Supporting Han Xuan and making Yu'er the new "mistress" was what she wanted to do most at the moment...
