“Those ‘spring breezes’... ugh, just saying them makes my mouth dirty. And how do you explain those medicines?” Yu Yanluo was not so easily fooled.
“Those were spoils of war that some people used against me when they wanted to harm me, and that they confiscated afterward,” Zuan replied.
Yu Yanluo: "???"
The look in Zu'an's eyes suddenly became somewhat strange. These drugs are used on men?
Was it a man or a woman who used it on him?
Just imagining that scene is horrifying.
Seeing her expression, Zu'an knew he had misunderstood: "I really didn't have any ulterior motives. I didn't make any advances towards you from beginning to end. You should know that best."
"Tying me up like that and you still call it disrespectful?" Yu Yanluo's eyes held a hint of anger.
Over the years, she has encountered countless suitors, all of whom respected and admired her, carefully avoiding leaving the slightest bad impression.
Just now, this guy humiliated her as if she were a female slave, and thinking about it...
Anger from Yu Yanluo: +69 +69 +69...
"That was just a moment of desperation, after all, you almost killed me just a moment ago." Zu An was still a little scared when he recalled the situation. The disciples of the Chief Priest were indeed extraordinary, and they had many trump cards and secrets.
"If you hadn't been relatively polite to me before, do you think I would have had the patience to talk to you for so long?" Yu Yanlu straightened her clothes and subconsciously wanted to sit on the bed, but then she felt that doing so in front of a man in the middle of the night would be misinterpreted as having some kind of implication, especially after such an embarrassing thing had just happened.
So she moved to another desk and sat down. Looking at the painting with the hole in it, she said with some regret, "A good painting has been ruined."
Zu An couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected that you, Madam, were so well hidden. Everyone thought you were weak and helpless, but who knew that you could actually trap even a blue dragon. Now that I think about it, it was far too presumptuous of me, a mere third-rank official, to come and save you outside Bright Moon City."
Yu Yanluo's face softened slightly: "I don't think so. Whether a person is chivalrous or not should be judged by their behavior when they are weak. When they are strong, they dare to stand up for anyone, but when they are weak, they still risk their lives to save others. That's what makes them even more admirable. Speaking of which, you were quite cute back then, and you even said you wanted to be my..."
At this point, her smile froze. In her opinion, the other party's "bold words" were nothing more than the naivety of a young boy, and she hadn't taken them to heart.
But today this guy really did impersonate her husband, and he just tied her up like that...
Thinking of this, her expression as she looked at Zu'an suddenly became strange.
Noticing her gaze, Zu An's face flushed, and he continued, "You pleaded with the emperor for me in the capital before. At first, I thought you were repaying the life-saving grace you once owed me. Now it seems that even without me, you wouldn't have been in danger, so the life-saving grace is invalid. Then why did you make a special trip to the capital to plead for me?"
"It was your teacher who asked me to plead for you. I was a little surprised when I heard the news, and I couldn't understand why you would have a relationship with your teacher. But I was going to save you anyway, since I've always admired you, so I naturally agreed," Yu Yanluo explained.
"The High Priest?" Zu An's expression changed slightly. Back then, he was just a son-in-law in Bright Moon City, a typical good-for-nothing in the eyes of the world. How could he possibly catch the eye of someone like the High Priest?
Wait a minute, back in Mingyue Academy, Principal Jiang also took good care of me, and Jiang Luofu was also a disciple of the Imperial Academy Master.
It felt like I was just a pawn in the hands of the chief priest, and there was a chilling feeling about it.
Yu Yanluo looked him up and down, then smiled and said, "I'm also curious why he would pay attention to you. At first, I thought you were his illegitimate son."
"And then what?" Zu An thought to himself, having such a powerful backer isn't necessarily a bad thing...
"Later I realized I was overthinking it, because you and the teacher don't look alike at all," Yu Yanluo said jokingly.
Zuan: "..."
After chatting for a while, the topic returned to its previous focus. Zu An said, "Madam, since you know that Jian Taiding killed the Duke and colluded with the demon race, please cooperate with us to bring him to justice."
Yu Yanluo shook her head: "I'm afraid that won't work."
Zuan was startled: "Why?"
“Because I have no evidence,” Yu Yanlu blinked, “and the relationship between the Yu family and the Jian family is complicated, so it’s not convenient for me to get involved.”
Zu An thought to himself that it seemed the Yu family was indeed involved.
Yu Yanluo rested her chin on her hand and smiled as she looked at him: "Don't misunderstand, this is actually for your own good. Jian Taiding is currently in control of the military of the Governor's Office. If there is no conclusive evidence, those troops could easily cause a disaster if he incites them."
"You're not cooperating, where am I supposed to find evidence?" Zu An said, frustrated.
"Actually, there is a way." Yu Yanluo smiled, and the whole room seemed to brighten up a bit.
