Chapter 299 The Short, Chubby, and Wary Man

Gao Wenyan, who was on his way to curry favor with the general's mansion, heard the news of Yun Shuyue's elopement as soon as he arrived at the door.

He was afraid that Yun Shuyue might really regret running away, so he came out to look for her.

They happened to run into Su Yunyi, so they dragged him along to look for someone.

If you ask him how he finds people, he'd probably just look for the most sneaky and sleazy ones.

I never expected to see He Xunyuan and his fiancée pulling and tugging at each other so close together!

What could Xiaoyueyue have done wrong? It must be He Xunyuan who is not a man and is flirting with other women outside!

He Xunyuan: "Brother Gao, you can finally be considered..."

"Get out of my way!" Gao Wenyan glared at him, then stood directly in front of him, completely blocking his view. "Yue'er..."

Yun Shuyue's eyes lit up. The top three scholars—the first, second, and third—were all there!

When it comes to scheming and plotting, who can beat scholars?

"You three, together!"

Chiu Chiu waved her little hand: "Let's go!"

Gao Wenyan, who was originally planning to compete, was pulled inside by Yun Shuyue before he could react.

Looking at the three who acted as if he were one of them, He Xunyuan was speechless: "Them?"

Su Yunyi patted his shoulder, "There must be something important to discuss. Let's go in." He then strode inside.

He Xunyuan, who was at the very back: "..."

They really don't treat themselves like outsiders!

After the divorce, He Beier didn't return to her parents' home. Instead, she opened a cosmetics shop and became her own boss. Now, her biggest concern is Que'er's ears. Seeing her daughter's hearing gradually improve, she is becoming more and more fond of this little girl, Wang Xinyu.

"Thank goodness for you and Chiu Chiu, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do with my little sparrow in the future."

As the child grows older, she faces more and more strange looks from others. Before, because of her status as the eldest daughter of a noble family, no one dared to bully her easily. But what if someone were to harm her once she loses that title?

A woman's life is full of uncertainties; she must always protect herself!

Wang Xinyu rarely shows a cold face to gentle older women; she purses her lips and reveals her little tiger teeth.

【I'm here! I, Chu Hansan, am back again!】

The girl, who was part of a group of acquaintances, was full of energy and seemed eager to discuss important matters with everyone.

Who knew that Yun Shuyue would betray her friends and throw Qiuqiu and Que'er out?

"Children are not suitable to participate."

He Beier blinked: "I'll go out and watch the child."

Looking at the tightly closed door, Qiuqiu was dumbfounded. She had been thrown out, so why was Sister Xinyu still inside?

Why are you treating people differently?

Sparrow took the initiative to step forward and take Chiu Chiu's hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to play."

"Hmph!" Chirp chirped twice at the door, then turned to leave.

She's a noble little koi fish; there will be times when they'll be begging her for favors!

"Click!"

Before they even left the courtyard, Yun Shuyue pulled the door open from the inside. With a dark face, she strode up to Qiuqiu and said in a weaker tone, "Qiuqiu, we can't do without you."

The group of adults looked at each other, completely at a loss for words. They had to ask each other carefully before they could even come up with a sarcastic suggestion.

Chirp became haughty and twisted her body, refusing to be hugged.

You only realize how important she is now? Let me tell you, it's too late!

Yun Shuyue: "Please?"

Chuchu: "Mmm!"

Sparrow: "..." Is she too easy to coax?

Chiu Chiu is a very good-tempered little girl. She forgot what had just happened as soon as she turned her head and sat in the middle surrounded by a group of adults, looking up at them.

Isn't this little stool a bit too low...?

Why is everyone else sitting in big, big chairs, while she's so short and stocky?

There weren't enough chairs, so the little stool that Qiuqiu sat on was something her former second aunt had found in the woodshed to make up the numbers. The moment she plopped down, not only did her height diminish, but her presence also seemed to shrink considerably.

From Chiu Chiu's perspective, they didn't want to hear her advice; they wanted to interrogate her.

Chirp: Weak, helpless, but stubborn!

She climbed onto the stool, stood with her hands on her hips, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Gao Wenyan has memories of his past life. He can laugh and joke around with Yun Shuyue, but he changes his attitude when it comes to serious matters.

Perhaps in Qiuqiu's eyes she just wanted to help an innocent princess, but he deeply understood the principle that those who are not of his kind will surely have different hearts.

Before he died in his previous life, Qiao Muyang colluded with the Turks to seize control of the government. The new emperor was greedy for pleasure and tolerated foreign tribes at every turn, and the people on the border were living in misery.

As an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and receiving the people's bounty, he naturally wouldn't allow the people of the Great Zhou to repeat the same mistakes!

He has a real knack for coaxing Chuchu.

All you need to do to deal with this vain little dumpling is flatter her.

“Chirp chirp, if we can’t drive the Turks out of the Great Zhou, some of your things, such as your beauty, your wisdom, your friends, your home, your favorite chicken leg, and even your soul, will be destroyed.”

Chirp chirped in alarm: "Is it that serious?"

Su Yunyi continued, "So how do we poison them?"

Wang Xinyu: "I can provide you with poison. It's colorless and odorless, so no one will notice."

She combined the Gu worms from the southwest with several other poisons, ensuring that no one but herself could cure it.

Chuchu trembled with fear. How could these people be even more ruthless than her?

He Beier was terrified and timidly asked the children, "Do your families know about this?"

Murdering a foreign envoy is a heinous crime punishable by the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan!

These brats made it sound as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.

The most outrageous thing is that she actually thought that the chances of them succeeding in carrying out this were quite high.

What a sin!

With a flick of her chubby hand, the person now locked outside the door became He Beier.

He Bei'er grew increasingly frightened and had no choice but to go to the Marquis of Wenyang's residence to complain. She couldn't let these people go so easily!

He Xunyuan peeked through the crack in the window and turned to tell everyone, "My cousin should have gone to the Marquis of Wenyang's residence."

Su Yunyi: "Second Uncle has been acting crazy lately, but he should be able to hold off... hold off Aunt He."

Chiu Chiu finally realized what was happening, "You guys...did this on purpose?"

Su Yunyi gently looked at Qiuqiu's little head, "Silly! Otherwise, do you really think we're so coincidentally connected that we ended up at Xunyuan's house?"

He glanced at Qiuqiu, whose face was full of shock, and Yun Shuyue, who was still clueless, and silently added in his mind: Except for the two of you.

He Xunyuan was in charge of matters related to the visit of the Turkic envoy. In fact, the Turkic general Annaye had already led a large army to the capital last night.

However, He Xunyuan did not meet the Turkic Grand Consort Queyu.

"The spies have already investigated and found that the people staying at the post station are imposters; the real Queyu clan is not among them." He Xunyuan should have informed His Majesty of this matter, but strangely, His Majesty avoided meeting him and only sent Eunuch Liu to tell him to treat the Turkic envoys well.

Su Yunyi: "My father and Uncle Lu have been acting strangely lately. They're secretly investigating the Third Prince and the former Khan of the Turks. I suspect the Third Prince is colluding with the Turks!"

"This is treason and collusion with the enemy!" He Xunyuan's face immediately darkened. "Brother Su, do you have any evidence?"

Su Yunyi shook his head. He had only noticed his father's recent actions by chance. Those two old foxes were very vigilant, but he knew nothing else.

Without evidence, he could be charged with the serious crime of slandering the prince.

Gao Wenyan, frowning and silent, glanced at Qiuqiu, who was resting her chin on her hand and listening to their conversation. "Perhaps, I can find evidence."

Everyone: "How do we find it?"

Chirp alert: [Why are you looking at me?!]
