Before Pei Yan left the mansion that day, he instructed the secret guards in the mansion to keep an eye on Qin Chengyu's whereabouts.
But Qin Chengyu was no ordinary person, and the secret guards were shaken off by Qin Chengyu after only following him to Pingxi City.
However, Pei Yan had never expected that they could really follow Qin Chengyu out of his lair. If this old fox Qin Chengyu was so easy to be followed, the various forces would not have been unable to find his whereabouts for so many years.
But Pei Yan didn't expect to hear unexpected news from the secret guard.
Before Qin Chengyu left the Marquis' Mansion, she left something for Song Huan.
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and picked up the wine glass filled by Song Huan and played with it. "So, if I insist on having you return to the capital this time, will you complain to Master Qin?"
Song Huan: “…” He called her “wife” again.
Every time this guy called her "wife", there was always a trap waiting for her in his words.
Song Huan's peripheral vision lingered on the wine glass held by Pei Yan for a moment. After a moment, she lifted her eyelids, pursed her lips and smiled, "Husband, don't joke. If I write a letter to Uncle Qin to complain about such a trivial matter, I'm afraid Uncle Qin will laugh at me, right?"
It turned out to be a little fox.
Pei Yan paused slightly while playing with the wine glass, then put it down, picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Song Huan.
Song Huan: “…” She was a little nervous. The big boss actually poured wine for her… What kind of trap was he preparing for her?
Pei Yan said, "Over the years, the Qin family's assets have been managed by several of the Qin family's old shopkeepers. Master Qin has rarely appeared in public. Even when he occasionally appears, he comes and goes without a trace, making it difficult for outsiders to see Master Qin. Someone even issued a reward of 1,000 taels of gold for anyone who can find Master Qin. Madam, are you aware of this?"
What's the meaning?
Use a thousand taels of gold to tempt her to reveal Uncle Qin's address?
Unfortunately, she is no longer the poor girl she used to be!
Besides, being able to contact Uncle Qin is Song Huan's only trump card in front of Pei Yan.
Since it was her trump card, how could she possibly reveal it just because of a few words from this guy and some verbal benefits?
Song Huan hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know about this matter..."
"It doesn't matter if I don't know." Pei Yan smiled lightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and there was even a hint of threat. He said, "Then, my lady, do you understand the intention of Master Qin to reveal his whereabouts to you?"
Song Huan: "...I understand."
Not only did he understand Uncle Qin's intention, but he also understood the meaning of Pei Yan's words.
Although Uncle Qin seemingly gave her the address where he could be contacted only after Pei Yan left, the Marquis's residence had many eyes and ears, so it was impossible for Uncle Qin not to know about it. So, by leaving the address to her, he was indirectly leaving it to Pei Yan.
However, since Uncle Qin left the address to her, he naturally hoped that she would have more confidence in front of Pei Yan, so that she could bargain for something when appropriate.
Song Huan picked up the wine glass filled by Pei Yan and drank slowly in small sips.
Pei Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a half-smile.
Song Huan pretended not to see it. After drinking the wine, she licked the corner of her mouth, and her eyes seemed a little intoxicated.
She stood up, took the empty wine glass and moved to sit next to Pei Yan, blinked and said: "Then can you promise me that you will let me go to Ning County?"
Pei Yan looked at Song Huan, who was already a little drunk after just one drink, and asked with a frown, "Tell me, why did you go to Ning County?"
Song Huan was silent for a moment: "Because I... must stay by your side..."
Pei Yan was slightly shocked when he heard this, and his voice unconsciously softened. He asked again, "Why do you want to stay by my side?"
System: "Dear, the favorability of the capture target "Pei Yan" towards you has changed." "Favourability +82."
Song Huan's misty eyes opened instantly, "What if I'm not here and you fall in love with another woman..."
System: "Dear, the favorability of the capture target "Pei Yan" towards you has changed." "Favourability +88."
Pei Yan's Adam's apple moved slightly, "You, like me?"
Song Huan's eyes flickered when she heard that. She picked up the wine pot and poured herself a glass first. After a pause, she poured another glass for Pei Yan.
She drank the wine in her glass again, her cheeks flushed instantly, and she nodded her chin slightly.
System: "Dear, the favorability of the capture target "Pei Yan" towards you has changed." "Favourability +96."
Song Huan put his head on the table and said, "Exclamation mark!"
Her eyes were extremely clear, and it was obvious that she was just pretending to be drunk.
"If I add another '+3', I can start the 'marriage consummation mission'!"
"..." The broken system was as quiet as a chicken, without making a sound.
Song Huan was very generous: "It's okay, I'm not angry."
"Song... Huan?" Pei Yan's low voice sounded in her ears.
Song Huan slowed down her breathing, thinking about how to tease Pei Yan after she raised her head so that his favorability would increase by another "+3"... She couldn't let this happen by mistake and lower his favorability again.
"…Um?"
Song Huan responded softly and was about to slowly raise his head again when he suddenly heard the sound of something breaking through the air.
Pei Yan pressed her forehead back onto the table with a "bang".
Song Huan: “……!”
Holy shit! What a twist in the plot!
Even if she was really drunk, she would be woken up by this slap!
However, before Song Huan could react, Pei Yan grabbed her from the table and said to the bewildered Song Huan, "Hide well."
Song Huan took a closer look and said, haha.
Where to hide? The room is full of men in black who burst in through the roof!
"Brothers! Go! Kill Pei Yan! Avenge big brother!"
I don't know which man in black suddenly shouted a slogan, and suddenly more than a dozen men in black raised swords and attacked Pei Yan and Song Huan together.
Song Huan hid behind... Pei Yan. At this time, only by following the boss's pace can he survive.
Although this guy is a villain, he is left to the hero and heroine to deal with. It is not that a few men in black who appear out of nowhere can take Pei Yan's life.
However, someone swung a knife between the two of them. Song Huan staggered, and Pei Yan was surrounded by men in black.
And... a man in black surrounded Song Huan.
Song Huan wanted to cry.
Pei Yan saw Song Huan being forced to the window. His brows furrowed and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He took out a short blade from somewhere in his hand. The short blade, with a cold light, flew sharply towards the men in black who surrounded Song Huan. Blood gushed out with a "puff", and drops of blood sprinkled on Song Huan's frightened face.
With a "clang", the short blade fell to the ground.
Song Huan: "Fuck you! Broken system! Come on!"
"Do you really want to kill me?!"
system:"……"
Song Huan: "...Okay! It's a wolf system!"
She squatted down, picked up the short blade on the ground, and looked at Pei Yan who was surrounded by men in black.
This guy was unarmed and had no sharp weapons, but those men in black still couldn't hurt him at all.
It seems that as long as she is not a burden, Pei Yan will not die.
After the black-clad men who had just surrounded Song Huan died, two more men in black came to kill Song Huan. Perhaps their eyes were reddened by the blood of their dead companions, and these two men came at Song Huan with a fierce momentum, holding knives and slashing at him.
"Pei Yan!" Song Huan shouted, his tone quite heartbreaking.
Upon hearing the sound, the two men in black paused their knives and turned to look at Pei Yan.
Pei Yan saw a bloody short blade flying from the air, and Song Huan... jumped out of the window.
The two men in black then realized they had been tricked and chased out of the window.
When Pei Yan took the short blade, his eyes were bloodshot and his thin lips uttered a word coldly, "Stupid."
. ……
The second floor is not high, and Song Huan has fully considered that jumping down will not put his life in danger.
Moreover, when she came to see Pei Yan during the day, she noticed that there was a small stream just a few steps outside the window of this guy's room.
At noon, when the sun was warm, the stream began to thaw. Now that night had just fallen, the stream should not have frozen over yet. Even if some places had begun to freeze, it was impossible for them to be completely frozen.
Looking at the two men in black jumping down behind him, Song Huan ran quickly to the stream.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the water surface. It had not yet frozen, with only a layer of frost on the surface. This crappy plot finally had a breakthrough.
She stretched out her feet and jumped into the river with a splash.
The two men in black who were chasing after them were stunned...
After a while, the two began to give in to each other.
"You jump."
"No, you jump."
"Brother, you dance."
"No, brother, you jump."
"..." As they were trying to give in, two cold and sharp swords were placed on their necks.
"Pei Chen, take him away for trial."
"Yes, Master."
Pei Yan's white clothes were stained with streaks of blood, and it was impossible to tell whether it was his own or someone else's. He walked to the stream with a cold face.
"master!"
Butler Pei panicked upon seeing this and hurried over to block Pei Yan. "I'll send someone to look for the madam right away!"
Then he ordered, "Quick! Go save the lady!"
At the command, there were several "splash" sounds of people falling into the water.
However, after a while, everyone climbed up one by one, but none of them could find Song Huan. Only one of the guards found the cloak that Song Huan had taken off...
Pei Yan's pupils shrank, his face turned pale as he pulled Butler Pei away and jumped into the water.
Butler Pei exclaimed in surprise: "Master!"
"Quick! Go down and save the master!"
The guards who had just come ashore to take a breath all turned pale, and without thinking, they plunged into the freezing stream.
At this time, Song Huan... was hiding behind a dead tree across the stream.
She secretly watched the situation on the other side, and when she saw Pei Yan jump into the stream, her eyes lit up, and she quietly slipped into the water again, swimming towards Pei Yan...
Don’t men love to protect the weak?
Let this guy be a hero and save the damsel in distress, his favorability will increase by "+3", and one year of health will be within reach!
However, when Song Huan jumped into the water and swam towards Pei Yan, he discovered something strange.
Pei Yan...is actually sinking?!
"Hurry, hurry! Find the master!" Butler Pei's anxious shout gradually reached Song Huan's ears clearly.
Song Huan's mind suddenly shuddered, and a terrible thought arose... Could it be that Pei Yan can't swim?
No way! It's poisonous!
