Xiao Yan, “Chen Yaozu”.

Shen Xiyin: "What's that noise?"

Xiao Yan was speechless for a moment, as if he didn't know how to describe it.

Thus, Shen Qiyin found it even stranger.

Since Shen Yaozu returned from Lvpingxuan that day, he has stayed in his room all day and rarely comes out. He just happened to run into Jiang Wan's matter, so she didn't have time to pay attention to him for a while.

Is something strange happening again?

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan spoke again: "Do you know who bought Shen Yaozu after you sent him to Green Apple Pavilion that day?"

Shen Qiyin shook her head: "I don't know."

She didn't pay much attention.

Because whoever it is, they will definitely cause irreversible damage to Shen Yaozu.

That's all she needs to know.

Xiao Yan's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a cool voice, "It's Guo Xiuran."

"Who?!" Even Shen Qiyin, who was usually calm, couldn't help but be shocked at this moment: "Guo Xiuran?"

"Um."

"He actually..."

She originally thought he was just a womanizer, but she didn't expect that his "womanizer" wasn't just interested in women, he was also interested in men!

Xiao Yan wouldn't bring this up for no reason, unless it was related to the commotion in Shen Yaozu's courtyard tonight.

Could it be—

"The 'sound' you mentioned, could it have been made by those two?"

"It's them."

"..."

That's truly a case of "high skill breeds daring."

Aren't they afraid of being overheard?

However, considering the time, Shen Qiyin understood. At this hour, even those who hadn't gone to sleep would be resting in their own rooms. Who would be out visiting in the middle of the night like this young master?

Xiao Yan stared intently at her: "What do you plan to do?"

“My father probably doesn’t know yet that his good son has found him a good daughter-in-law. Such a joyous occasion should be known to him.” Shen Qiyin curled her lips into a bright, yet dangerous smile.

Xiao Yan's eyes were full of affection: "I'll help you."

"……good."

Actually, she originally wanted to refuse.

But then I thought, I can't hide what I've done from him anyway, and since he's willing to help me, I should just accept his kindness.

However, she had to see this excitement for herself.

Thinking this, Shen Qiyin got up and was about to leave, but Xiao Yan stopped her.

He quickly withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes and said, "It's chilly at night, put on your cloak before you go."

"oh."

She obediently went back to the inner room to get her cloak, put it on, tied the ribbon around her neck, and adjusted the front of her clothes before looking up at Xiao Yan, as if to say: Is it okay now?

Xiao Yan's fingertips twitched slightly.

I want to pat her head.

He pursed his lips, put his hands behind his back, and forcefully suppressed his impulse.

"Let's go."

With him there, Shen Qiyin didn't bother to look for a lantern; she simply did as he said, grabbing his cloak and silently following beside him.

They went to the "old spot," the pavilion.

After settling the person in, Xiao Yan reminded him, "Wait for me here."

Shen Qiyin inexplicably felt that he had said "Don't run around" afterward, which was strange, since this was clearly her home and she couldn't possibly get lost.

She didn't know how Xiao Yan planned to expose the scandal between Shen Yaozu and Guo Xiuran, after all, he never did things according to common sense, so it was really hard to predict.

Lost in thought, Shen Qiyin suddenly heard a piercing scream that sent chills down her spine.

Needless to say, that shout was definitely Xiao Yan's doing.

It's just unclear whether the person calling was Shen Yaozu or Guo Xiuran.

Just as she was thinking this, another piercing scream followed, dispelling her doubts.

Now there's no need to guess, it must have been one of them who called out.

The question is, what did Xiao Yan do to them?

That's how it's been called "ga yao zi" (a type of kidney dish).

The two cries instantly woke up the servants in the courtyard.

Guo An also came out of his room, slipped on a pair of shoes, casually threw on a coat, and hurriedly went to Shen Yaozu's room.

Perhaps it was due to his age and failing eyesight, or perhaps he had just woken up and was still groggy, but he almost tripped and fell while going up the steps, his shoes flying off.

Before I could even enter the house, I heard another scream from inside.

This time it wasn't Shen Yaozu and Guo Xiuran, but the servants who were the first to hear the noise and rush to check the situation.

He screamed in fright at the sight in the room.

Guo An hurried into the house and was also shocked by the scene before him!
