"..." Yu Nanqing stopped thinking instantly. How did Yan'er know what he was thinking?
She didn't even glance at him.
"Qin Shushen said a few bad things about me behind my back, so I asked Xiaobu to send her to the Dali Temple. You tell me..." Su Wanyan raised her hand and picked up the jade pendant hanging from his waist, playing with it. She hesitated and asked, "Am I making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Back when Yu Nanqing was still paralyzed, if someone bumped into her, she would usually confront them head-on and fight back, and afterwards, they probably wouldn't suffer any consequences.
For example, like Su Muqing before.
She's usually not that ruthless unless the other party tries to kill her.
Today, when she sent Qin Shushen to the Dali Temple, she felt a sense of melancholy. It seems that one gets used to things like status and power as one uses them.
"..." Yu Nanqing remained silent for a long while before asking, "Yan'er doesn't like it?"
“It’s not that I don’t like it, on the contrary…” Su Wanyan pursed her lips and buried her head in his chest: “I just like it too much.”
She was addicted to the feeling of being able to deal with others with a wave of her hand.
She suddenly looked up at Yu Nanqing: "That's why I asked you if it was a bad idea. I feel like I've been too domineering, a bit too proud, and not humble at all. What if I can't get rid of this addiction? What if I become like the Princess?"
"..." Yu Nanqing was speechless. When had Su Wanyan ever been humble?
Of course, he dared not say that.
She smiled and said, "Yan'er would never do that."
Su Wanyan glanced at him: "Are you that sure?"
"The fact that you can reflect on this issue shows that Yan'er is a person of great principle. Otherwise, why doesn't Yan'er use her power to oppress Dai Zhiwan and Xu Yixuan? And why is she so kind to the servants in the mansion?"
"They're nice, they haven't offended me."
"Yes." Yu Nanqing gently stroked a strand of her hair, playing with it carefully and lovingly. "You are the princess. Qin Shushen's offense against you is insubordination, and she deserves it."
She paused, then asked, "Or does Yan'er feel sorry for her and want to let her go?"
"No way." Su Wanyan leaned on Yu Nanqing again: "I dealt with her according to the law, not because of personal grudges. If she hadn't bothered me, nothing would have happened."
She, a person who traveled from the modern era, has managed to abide by the rules of this time, proceeding cautiously and daring not to make any mistakes, to get to where she is now.
Qin Shushen, a native daughter of the capital, should understand the constraints and laws of this era better than Su Wanyan. How come she makes mistakes repeatedly and still expects Su Wanyan to be magnanimous and indulge her?
Does she seem like such a kind person?
"But don't get involved in this matter," Su Wanyan said.
Yu Nanqing paused slightly, remained silent for a while, and then replied with a soft "Mm".
He just didn't understand.
"Why?" Su Wanyan didn't dislike Qin Shushen.
"Sigh." Su Wanyan sighed softly, "Let's give her a chance."
Although she wasn't a good person, it seemed a bit too harsh to send someone to Dali Temple to be tortured just because Qin Shushen said a few words about her behind her back.
So far, Qin Shushen hasn't done anything to actually harm her; she's just good with words and never lets things slide when she's in the right.
No, we shouldn't be unreasonable or forgiving.
If Yu Nanqing gets involved, things will definitely get complicated. Just scare her a little.
If there's a next time... if there's a next time Yu Nanqing has to help, she'll be a kind little fairy, hehe.
“…Hmm.” Yu Nanqing finally agreed.
Then he asked curiously, "What was the deal with Yunyi and Fengyao when I went to pick you up?"
"I'm asking you." Su Wanyan sat up abruptly. "I don't know them, but they say they know you."
Yu Nanqing immediately panicked. He was about to say that he didn't know her, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not appropriate. The person named Yunyi might have indeed stayed in the General's Mansion in Wengcheng.
Seeing him open his mouth and then purse his lips, Su Wanyan asked, "You really know him?"
“I…” Yu Nanqing quickly sat up as well: “I have no relation to them whatsoever.”
Su Wanyan rolled her eyes at him: "You make me sound like I'm petty, suspecting you of being like them without even knowing the facts."
Upon hearing this, Yu Nanqing choked again and hurriedly explained, "Yan'er, you're innocent! I was just afraid you wouldn't talk to me!"
"You have nothing to do with them, and I haven't suspected you, so what are you afraid of?" Su Wanyan chuckled and repeated, "Why are you being a coward?"
"..." Yu Nanqing couldn't explain it clearly.
He was most afraid that Su Wanyan would misunderstand.
He didn't like Su Wanyan misunderstanding that he had any connection with others.
He disliked Su Wanyan feeling even the slightest bit sad, so whenever these things happened, he was always eager to explain, even if Su Wanyan never suspected anything, he still wanted to explain and make his stance clear to her.
He has only ever had her in his life, and she is the only one for him!
"However..." Su Wanyan continued, "That person named Feng Yao said she came here with her father to trade, but I feel that she is more than just a merchant. Keep an eye on her."
Yu Nanqing's eyebrows twitched slightly as he listened to Su Wanyan's analysis: "When Feng Yao first introduced Yunyi, she said that she heard that Miss Yunyi knew you and thought that she was all alone in Wengcheng with no one to rely on, so she suggested bringing her to the capital to fulfill her wish."
"If you break down what she said, she only thought of bringing Yunyi to the capital after hearing about your relationship with Yunyi, and it was her idea. Her words sound like she only came to the capital because Yunyi had this wish, but if you think about it carefully, could it be that she wanted to use Yunyi to get some information from you?"
"After all, she's a businesswoman. How could a businesswoman have access to you? But it's different if she's involved with someone you're connected with. Do you think what I'm saying makes sense?"
"Yes." Yu Nanqing gave an affirmative answer without thinking: "Everything Yan'er said makes sense."
He had never doubted this point since he met her.
Su Wanyan didn't expect him to reply so quickly, and embarrassedly reached out to turn his face to the side: "Oh, don't answer so quickly. I know I'm smart, but you should at least pretend to think about it."
Especially when he was answering, he looked at her so intently, his eyes were so intense they were almost drowning her, how could she possibly control herself?
Yu Nanqing lowered his eyes in agreement, pondered for a moment, then raised them again, his eyes shining brightly: "Yan'er is right."
"Hehe." Su Wanyan tugged at his wide sleeve with satisfaction: "Answer me like this next time."
Su Wanyan was about to make a fuss, but Yu Nanqing didn't restrain her, and narrowed his eyes indulgently: "Okay."
Su Wanyan continued, "I also feel that she is more than just a businesswoman. Her temperament is not like that; she doesn't have the stench of money that merchants have."
