Seeing that Gu Songhan still ignored her, she continued, "I've heard that Miss Jiang has a childhood sweetheart cousin, and the two of them are very close..."
"If you feel bored, why don't you go back to the Marquis of Nanlin's residence and take a look!"
Xu Chengyang's expression hardened, his nonchalant demeanor vanished, and a sharp, murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
"You know that the day I returned to the manor was the day the entire Nanlin Marquis's family was wiped out! Are you really not afraid that I will cause trouble and bring trouble to you and General Rong?"
Gu Songhan patted Xu Chengyang on the shoulder, "The Earl of Nanlin still has his last breath, and he has never established an heir. There may be hidden stories about what happened back then. Do you really not want to know the truth?"

"That girl seems to have been poisoned..."
"I'm not sure for now. Her pulse is normal, but upon closer examination, it's slow and slightly irregular..."
"With so many people around, how could I possibly begin to ask questions?"
"Judging from the pulse, if there are no other complications, his life should be safe for three to five years, but after that, it's hard to say..."
The thought of someone trying to harm the little girl made Gu Songhan's jaw tighten, and a chilling murderous intent flashed in his eyes beneath his long eyelashes.
Anyone who dares to touch her will die!
Just then, Jiang Segu, who was sleeping on the tatami mat, suddenly screamed and sat up...
