Su Yan paused slightly, a hint of reluctance in her heart.

But in the end, she said nothing more, unwillingly stepping forward and quickly untying the two who were bound like dumplings.

Due to the effect of the Muscle Weakening Powder, Song Yilan and Song Guan immediately slumped to the ground after being released.

However, seeing Yu Qingwu order Su Yan to release them, Song Yilan's expression turned arrogant again.

Supporting herself against a stone pillar, she looked at Yu Qingwu, her tone extremely smug. "So, you sly fox spirit, what's wrong? Couldn't argue your way out, couldn't stir up trouble, so you chickened out? Weren't you quite arrogant just now? Why are you letting us go now?"

Chickened out?

This Song Yilan was truly a boor through and through. Although her upbringing had given her some wits, her pampered upbringing had made her quite arrogant.

Unlike A'Yue, who borrowed the power of others to be arrogant, this was… arrogance in her bones.

However, Yu Qingwu was in no mood to care whether she was arrogant or not.

What was important was being able to use her to deal with A'Yue.

To get her on her side, she first had to dismantle her hostility towards her, even if she couldn't dismantle it completely, she had to dismantle at least half of it.

So, facing Song Yilan's arrogance, Yu Qingwu ignored it.

She merely curled her lips, smiled faintly, and asked Song Yilan, "Miss Song, do you know why you can't win against that Qin Yiliu in anything? It's clearly not your fault, but your brother and Shen Ke are both helping Qin Yiliu?"

"Even in the end, they even colluded to deceive you in order to protect Qin Yiliu, tricking you into committing a great crime and dying completely, so that Qin Yiliu could become the only beloved woman in your Song family from then on?"

"It's so strange. You're clearly the daughter of the Song Chieftain, clearly the most noble. Why did everything change as soon as Qin Yiliu arrived in Qingzhou? Could it be… just because she can foretell the future?"

"Or is it because she's affected and puts on airs? Is she better at pretending than you?"

Her clear and calm voice entered her ears, like a revolving demonic sound.

The smug look on Song Yilan's face instantly froze.

That's right, although she kept saying that Qin Yiliu was her future sister-in-law, and kept saying that her previous interactions with Qin Yiliu were all misunderstandings.

But it seemed that, as this fox spirit in front of her said, almost everyone revolved around Qin Yiliu after she came to Qingzhou.

Even her father, the father who loved her the most, favored Qin Yiliu, and had scolded her several times for Qin Yiliu's sake.

In the past, her father would never scold her.

And also her brother, and also Brother Shen Ke…

They all favored Qin Shi…

Even her personal maid often said that Qin Shi was gentle and kind…

Thinking of this, Song Yilan felt extremely uncomfortable.

Yu Qingwu sat back on the chair, smiling kindly at her. Seeing her expression change slightly, she sighed faintly, "Miss Song, think carefully, is that Qin Shi really a good person?"

"She stole your brother, stole Shen Ke, and made everyone think that you are rude and unruly, while she is knowledgeable, gentle, generous, and very kind."

"But if she is really kind, why would she instigate you to come and deal with me? Isn't she able to foretell the future? Since she can predict the future, she must know that you will fall into my hands here."

"Even if her prediction is that I may not take your life, I might ruin your appearance out of jealousy of you marrying Shen Ke? Or cripple you?"

"Or simply sell you to beyond the Great Wall, so you won't die, and no one will be able to find you, so naturally no one can blame me."

As Yu Qingwu spoke, the smile in her eyes grew stronger, but that cold and beautiful face gave people a cold and evil feeling.

Making Song Yilan feel goosebumps all over her body.

Why hadn't she thought of this?

If she just disappeared.

If she was never seen alive or dead, then no one could blame this fox spirit.

Even if she really died, she would die beyond the Great Wall, and she still couldn't blame the woman in front of her.

And Qin Shi was clearly able to foretell the future, so she should also be able to know that she would be in danger.

But she still instigated her to come.

And she also twisted the personality of this crown princess.

This woman was clearly meticulous, insidious, and vicious.

But Qin Shi said she was just a fool who only knew how to serve men and knew nothing but seducing men.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have found her so easily.

She even said that Qin Shi simply… wanted to use this woman's hand to kill her.

At that time, Qin Shi would be able to monopolize everyone's love.

In an instant, countless questions popped up in Song Yilan's mind.

Her back also gradually began to feel cold.

She raised her head and looked at Yu Qingwu with extreme fear, but still wanted to make a final struggle.

"You… you wouldn't dare…"

"Don't… don't try to provoke me. Do you think I would believe your nonsense?"

Song Yilan's lips trembled slightly, her face angry, but there was a faint glimmer of tears in her eyes.

Those were tears of fear, and also the collapse of not being able to accept reality after the truth was exposed.

In contrast, Song Guan beside her was a sensible person.

Seeing that Song Yilan was already a little confused, he didn't try to mediate any further. His expression sank, and he looked at Yu Qingwu calmly, and asked, "Crown Princess, right? You've said so much, you just want to provoke our relationship with Qin Shi and Shen Ke."

"Tell me, what do you want us to do?"

"Or rather, how do you want us to help you deal with Shen Ke and Qin Shi?"

Deal with Shen Ke and Qin Yiliu?

They had already set their sights on her, so she naturally had to deal with them.

However, those were all things for later.

The most important thing now was to deal with A'Yue first.

But it must be said, it was easy to talk to smart people.

Talking to Song Guan was much easier than talking to Song Yilan.

Seeing Song Guan speak, Yu Qingwu stopped talking nonsense.

She glanced at Song Yilan, and seeing that she was still mired in sadness and collapse, she turned her gaze and looked at Song Guan seriously, asking him, "This young master, can you make decisions for your sister?"

Although this Song Guan called that Song Yilan "sister" at every turn.

But judging from Song Yilan's attitude of bossing him around, this Song Guan was either just a clan brother with a low status, or Song Yilan's illegitimate brother, and definitely the kind who was not valued and was often bullied.

If that was the case, then it would be even easier to use him.

As Yu Qingwu spoke, her eyes fixed on Song Guan.

Sure enough, Song Guan's face changed slightly when he heard this.

That heroic face slowly became stained with a hint of embarrassment.

Yu Qingwu smiled, and did not immediately say what she wanted them to do.

Instead, she introduced herself to Song Guan in a kind manner, "Young master, since you came with Miss Song, you must know my identity. I am the current Crown Princess, but I was also the cousin of the former Duke's mansion, but this cousin of mine is just the daughter of the Duke's mansion's concubine, my own grandmother was a prostitute."

"Therefore, the people in the Duke's mansion all look down on me."
