"Pinch!" Yu Nanqing quickly started massaging her shoulders again.
After a moment, Yu Nanqing's bright eyes darkened slightly, and he called out, "Yan'er."
The voice was warm and pleasant, like a piece of jade gently sinking into water.
"Um?"
"Just now, when I was falsely accused by the Lady of Yuanning Marquis, everyone thought I was in my room, but why did Yan'er conclude that I wasn't?"
When he appeared, everyone looked at him in surprise, except for Yan'er, who was not surprised at all.
He was very happy that Su Wanyan trusted him so much, but why?
In that situation, did she not have even the slightest doubt about him?
"..." Su Wanyan looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Yu Nanqing was taken aback: "Why is Yan'er looking at me like that?"
Su Wanyan rolled her eyes speechlessly: "After you recovered from your illness, did your brain stop working properly?"
“…” Yu Nanqing was speechless.
Su Wanyan found it amusing, but if she were asked to explain, she really didn't know how to say it for the moment.
Su Wanyan looked at Yu Nanqing for a long time before saying, "You, you can endure for three years even when you are on your last legs. Xiao Chensheng's hallucinogenic drug had no effect on you. You have profound internal strength and can kill thousands of troops without fear. How could you possibly fall for the tricks of a woman?"
“She’s not some monster, how could you not even be able to handle her? If you really fall for Zhen Yuhuai’s tricks, I’ll stand in front of you and laugh for three years.”
Besides, she understood Yu Nanqing's personality.
Rather than believing him, she believed what she saw and knew.
"..." Yu Nanqing was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but look away slightly: "Yan'er, you... are praising me again..."
If you look closely, you can see that his ears are red again.
Su Wanyan: "..."
What exactly is he thinking about all day long?
She reached out and gently pinched his cheek: "Wake up, okay?"
Yu Nanqing smiled and gently took her small hand that was messing with her face: "Luckily, they were only after me."
If they were looking for Su Wanyan, and it happened again and again, he might not be able to control his temper.
"Are your clothes really soaked?" Su Wanyan asked curiously.
It felt like Yu Nanqing could right the cup or catch it after it fell over.
That's her. Although she can't catch the cup perfectly, she can still straighten it in time. Yu Nanqing is better than her. It's impossible for anyone to get his clothes wet.
"Mm." Yu Nanqing nodded.
The waiters at Wangxianglou wouldn't be so hasty; they just wanted to see what the other party was up to.
On the other hand, he also felt that if he fell into their trap, Su Wanyan and the others would stop making a move.
"What about Dai Jin'an and Xu Nianhe?"
"I went back before the dragon boat race ended."
Su Wanyan suddenly realized: "They didn't call Dai Zhiwan and Xu Yixuan when they went back."
Should we avoid disturbing their enjoyment?
Su Wanyan stopped dwelling on it and asked with a smile, her eyes narrowed, "How did the chat go?"
"Yes, everything went very smoothly."
As they had learned before, the Changguo Duke's Mansion and the Shunguo Duke's Mansion were also looking for an opportunity.
However, they are currently at a very superficial level. One reason is that they are all under the control of Emperor Yuanhe. If they want to restore their former glory, they have to get past Emperor Yuanhe.
However... Emperor Yuanhe has suppressed both families for many years, so it is not easy to regain his attention, let alone now that they have started to associate with Yu Nanqing.
Therefore, they wanted to test the waters by making some statements to see if Yu Nanqing intended to seize the throne.
Of course, neither of them is so rash as to bring this up at the moment.
However, even if they don't mention it, Yu Nanqing still needs to understand. Otherwise, why would the two Duke's mansions be tied to him? Is it really because they want to have more friends than enemies?
The common people may not know the current situation of Prince Gong's Mansion, but do they not?
Emperor Yuanhe would absolutely not let Yu Nanqing off the hook.
If they don't vie for the throne, then being tied to Yu Nanqing will bring them no benefit whatsoever.
However, if that's really the case, then a new problem arises.
Yu Nanqing has already refused to take a concubine in court, so how can the other two families strengthen their relationship with Yu Nanqing?
All of the above are concerns of the two Duke's mansions, which is why they sent Dai Jin'an and Xu Nianhe to sound them out today.
Yu Nanqing didn't make any promises, but only vaguely revealed some things they wanted to know, though the specifics of how he avoided the important points remained unknown.
As for Dai Zhiwan and Xu Yixuan, both families also intended for them to come into contact with Su Wanyan.
Although it's impossible now, it's still unknown whether Yu Nanqing will take a concubine in the future, so these days are just a way to make an appearance.
Su Wanyan didn't think much about these intricacies, but Yu Nanqing was fully aware of them.
As long as the Duke of Changguo and the Duke of Shunguo don't go too far in the future, he can help both families regain their former glory, but it's impossible for them to become relatives with the Prince Gong's Mansion.
News of Zhen Yuhuai's affair spread very quickly. Since it happened at Wangxiang Tower and there were many onlookers, almost the entire capital knew about it in less than an hour.
Marquis Yuanning, who was in his residence at the time, was the last to hear the news.
After learning the whole story, Marquis Yuanning disregarded the approaching night, changed into his official robes, and wanted to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
However, Su Shiyan arrived in time to stop them.
Su Shiyan is the eldest son of the Marquis's family and currently holds a position in the court.
Marquis Yuanning had always considered Su Muqing a hot potato, and it would be best if he could marry her off. However, Zhen Yuhuai threatened to kill himself, so he had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Yuhuai would take such a risky approach. If it had succeeded, it would have been fine, but it didn't.
Now, not only has Zhen Yuhuai been arrested by the Dali Temple, but the entire Yuanning Marquis's mansion has also been implicated.
Su Muqing was already despised by everyone, and his first thought was to quickly sever ties with the two of them.
However, Su Shiyan did not approve of doing so.
Not to mention that Zhen Yuhuai is the mistress of the Marquis's mansion and also their mother, they rushed to sever ties as soon as Zhen Yuhuai got into trouble. To put it nicely, it's called putting righteousness before family; to put it bluntly, it's kicking someone when they're down, being unrighteous, cold-blooded, and heartless.
According to Su Shiyan, we should wait and see how things develop.
The Dali Temple arrested someone today, and they should be reported to the court tomorrow morning. We can see what the Dali Temple finds out and what Emperor Yuanhe's attitude is before making a decision.
Marquis Yuanning was truly worried and angry, but he was at a loss for what to do.
The court the following day.
The Dali Temple then submitted a report detailing the entire Wangxiang Tower incident.
They meticulously investigated everything, including how Zhen Yuhuai bribed the staff at Wangxianglou and how he led Yu Nanqing into the trap.
Yu Nanqing stood in the hall, listening expressionlessly.
