"At that ti, my cousin didn’t like her, so on the wedding night, he neglected her and disappeared with us for three years. That woman beca a widow and was almost entirely driven out of the Qi Mansion."
"Soone like that, yet she manages to thrive so well in Wuheng, it’s truly puzzling!"
"Could it be that she has so expert guiding her from behind?"
Qin Fu had already heard of Ruan Mian. Ever since she sent soone to inquire last ti, he learned more and more about her.
Even during the flood disaster, she managed to pull through with so many people.
Indeed, she was the one Xie Huai’an had his eyes on.
This woman must be eliminated, or else she will certainly be a calamity. Of course, if she could be used by King Yan, that would be even better.
While pondering this, Liu Shu spoke of his concern: "Godfather, although Li Si escaped heavily injured and can’t stir up much trouble, he has a very good relationship with Ruan Mian. Upon returning, he will surely reveal everything about to everyone.
If they discover that I took their goods and silenced them, Ruan Mian will likely co to Wenchang. We..."
"She is indeed extraordinary, unlike other won, but no matter what, she is still just a woman. If she cos to Wenchang City, that’s even better. After all, it’s our territory, and it will be easier for to act."
He squinted his eyes, not expecting that the Fifth Princess had also sent Jing Hexsong to deal with this person, increasingly feeling that he must et Ruan Mian himself.
Thinking of this, Liu Shu suddenly gave a wicked smile.
"Godfather, a woman like Ruan Mian is indeed rare. I find her not only intelligent but also beautiful. Although she has been married twice, she is quite resourceful."
"With such beauty, if you, Godfather, could incorporate her into your fold and take her as a concubine, there would be absolutely no harm."
The wrinkled face of Qin Fu displayed a seemingly indifferent gaze, while the aningful glances from the n present made Yun Xiu clench his fists.
He took a step forward, only to be stopped by a look from Ruan Mian.
At this mont, Cui Zhu was also infuriated, her eyes blood-red like a little beast’s.
Like Yun Xiu, she wished she could imdiately destroy this group of vile n inside! Let them see the consequences of their wild dreams in secret.
But reason told them that now was not the ti to act on impulse.
The truth was already clear; everything was as Li Si had said.
Liu Shu was one of Qin Fu’s n. They had painstakingly co to Wuheng just to gain Ruan Mian’s trust.
They even manipulated the kind and innocent Cui Zhu, and it was evident that their goal was the batch of firearms, which Qin Fu intended to offer to King Yan’s rebel army, hence elevating his own status in King Yan’s faction.
This had been plotted over a long span of ti, showing their imnse patience and calculations, sothing Ruan Mian hadn’t anticipated.
Just at this mont, two tall n walked in from outside.
They had sharp features, expressionless faces, and were followed by several attendants. It was clear they were no ordinary people.
Ruan Mian exchanged a glance with Cui Zhu, and the three of them imitated the servants at the side to salute.
Ruan Mian’s lowered gaze caught sight of the shoes worn by the two young n.
The sneakers were embroidered with hawk totems, indicating they were not Da Jing people but hailed from Liaole.
In Liaole Country, the hawk totem was reserved for the nobility. She had learned all about it while doing business in the garrison.
Furthermore, these two looked different from the Da Jing people nearby, with deeper-set eyes and more prominent, straight noses.
Ruan Mian slightly frowned, waiting until the two entered the side room before she slowly raised her head.
However, at this mont, she caught Yun Xiu’s shocked gaze, seeing him also staring intently at the two n’s shoes, seemingly deep in thought.
Then Ruan Mian suddenly recalled that the hawk totem was also associated with Yun Xiu.
She and Ah Huai had once suspected Yun Xiu’s lineage, but at that ti, Ah Huai said it was all in the past, and there was no need to delve into it further.
Ruan Mian had felt the sa way.
A boy treated as a slave nearly lost his life in the Beast Fighting Arena and stayed by Ah Huai’s side after being saved until he ca to Wuheng, becoming part of her family.
Whatever Yun Xiu’s past identity was, Ruan Mian didn’t care.
But now, seeing Yun Xiu like this, it seed like he knew sothing too.
Just while contemplating, everyone inside rose together, and even Qin Fu showed respect toward these two.
"Young masters, after your long journey, a high-class room has been prepared for you to rest in. If you need anything, just let the servant know."
