Wen Tingwan panicked and quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Father-in-law, I am Zhaoyue's cousin, have you forgotten?"
Old Fang squinted, looking around with a poor eyelid.
"Your Highness's cousin? Perhaps she hasn't been in contact with the Wen family for several years, so this old man doesn't quite remember her."
With just a casual remark, Wen Tingwan was struck dumb, her panicked expression frozen on her face, and she was speechless, forgetting everything.
How could this be... I was just here, and I gave them a lot of money, how could I not remember!
"Young Master Pei, please wait."
Old Fang bowed, then turned back and closed the door.
Pei Xueqiao: ...
How embarrassing! I thought she and the Sixth Prince were close friends.
He remembered that when Suimo visited, she said that they weren't close relatives, and he thought it was just a polite remark.
Ah, in previous years, the Sixth Prince's reputation wasn't very good, so the Wen family probably cut ties with him and rarely had any contact with him.
Now that he sees she's taken on a lot of jobs, he's eagerly clinging to her again, even using her name to get close to her and ask for her advice on strategies.
To be fair, Pei Xueqiao was quite astute in dealing with matters other than Qin Zhaoyue.
He simply waved his sleeves and boarded the carriage without a second thought, shouting, "Quick, back to the yamen!"
"No...that's not how it is..."
Wen Tingwan watched the carriage disappear into the distance, her chance slipping away. Hatred surged within her like a raging fire, and her eyes turned as sinister as if they were poisoned.
This expression naturally caught the attention of everyone inside the door, and Qin Zhaoyue couldn't help but purse her lips.
That's right, Old Fang followed her instructions, which is why he ruined his cousin's good deed.
Ha, trying to steal her relationship behind her back? Are you kidding me? Did you pay her a bribe?
This relationship was earned with a life-saving grace and through good deeds, and you think you can just take it away after dressing up and acting all coy? Dream on!
He pulled his ear away from the door and scoffed, "Is that all the tricks you have? That won't do."
Sui Mo sighed. Was this method simple? Even her prince wouldn't know how to do it.
If they hadn't happened to be there, Young Master Pei might have already agreed.
Miss Wen, having been entangled with His Highness's banner for a while, might be able to win him over with a few more tricks.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at her master, "Otherwise, what does Your Highness think we should do?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Zhaoyue let out a soft moan and slumped into Sui Mo's arms, her entire weight pressing down on her.
She lightly covered her smooth forehead with one hand, her head tilted slightly upward, forming a graceful arc like a willow swaying in the breeze.
This angle perfectly reveals the beautifully shaped jawline, and presents the full, luscious red lips to Suimo's eyes without reservation.
"Young Master..." Qin Zhaoyue's voice was weak, her eyelashes trembling slightly, "I...I feel so dizzy..."
The last note carried a perfectly placed tremor, like a wisp of smoke drifting in the wind.
Broken Ink: ...
Mo Yi:......
Hidden Hibernation: ...
Some people's mouths twitched uncontrollably, while others' cheeks turned red...
