“Death Rose,” Hua Yueli translated automatically, “I’m not very clear about what’s going on with the underground alliance. Wasn’t it always Zhaojun who was guiding things?”
They all knew that Meng Zhaojun was the leader of the underground alliance, and they also knew that Qing, one of the deputy leaders of the underground alliance, was Shen Juanqing.
As for who the other leader of the alliance is, they don't know.
"So this underground alliance's event started without the leader or any of the vice leaders attending?" Although Ji Luqi wasn't often in the capital, she knew almost everything that happened there.
Or rather, these people were known to those in the capital.
It's nothing more than a game of dividing up the remaining surplus value.
In the eyes of these twelve people, it was truly insignificant.
"Did one of the vice leaders go?" Lu Ming sat on the sofa, holding a three-piece teacup in his hand, filled with clear tea.
"Ziyan, didn't you ask Zhaojun who this Death Rose really is?" Mei Lanting turned to look at Gu Nanyan.
Pregnant women just seem different.
It seems that Ziyan's fierce temperament has softened considerably.
But every time she opened her mouth, it seemed that chilling aura returned.
Indeed, Ziyan is Ziyan.
How could things change because of these things?
The only one who could change him is probably Master Shen.
"Guess." Gu Nanyan uttered two words, glancing at Mei Lanting with his phoenix eyes.
"How could anyone guess that?" Yu Ci asked, puzzled. They didn't bother with the affairs of the underground alliance, and she certainly wouldn't pay any attention to them.
The underground alliance members all wore masks when they entered, and no one recognized anyone else.
The leader will only know who it is when the registration is completed.
In the beginning, the underground alliance was very chaotic. Although it was called an alliance, it was actually just a gang composed of a bunch of reckless hooligans.
Later, due to official crackdowns, the name was changed, and the person in charge was replaced by an official.
That is, Meng Zhaojun.
When Gu Nanyan served in the army, Meng Zhaojun went with him.
Gu Nanyan retired from the military, but Meng Zhaojun did not.
They just aren't staying at the camp anymore.
"The Qin family?" Ji Luqi guessed. "Or, the He family is unlikely. The Shi family doesn't seem very likely either. The Qin family is probably the most likely candidate."
“How could the Qin family be like that?” Lu Ming was the first to refute. “Although there are some young people in the middle generation of the Qin family, apart from Master Qin, there is no one who can stand up. As for the younger generation, although the eldest son of the Qin family is capable, he is still inferior to the younger generation of other families.”
“What if they come to the capital from humble or poor families?” Jiang Yuzhu offered another perspective. “Don’t forget, while the capital is full of aristocratic families, there are also many from humble or poor families.”
Empires have never been places where class distinctions are solidified.
"That's possible, but there would be more people involved, and the scope would be wider." Mei Lanting nodded and took a sip of water.
"Ziyan, if you knew the answer, you wouldn't be keeping me in suspense."
Gu Nanyan turned to look at Shen Juanqing, "Ziqing, do you want to guess?" His words carried a hint of amusement.
Everyone else also looked at Shen Juanqing; the meaning was quite clear.
"You mean, it's Ayu?" Shen Juanqing's voice also carried a hint of hesitation.
Ayu is only eighteen years old this year, this... is unlikely, right?
"Anything is possible." Gu Nanyan leaned back against a cushion to make himself more comfortable. "Back when we were eighteen, didn't we also cause a ruckus on Fuyun Island and return safely?"
"Eighteen years old, what a wonderful age." Gu Nanyan's words seemed to be filled with nostalgia, but his phoenix eyes were full of sarcasm.
Mentioning eighteen years old.
No one spoke again.
"What's wrong? It's not like it's anything taboo." Gu Nanyan knew what they were worried about; it was nothing more than his own messy past.
“It’s been almost five years, I’ve let it go, what are you still hesitating about?” Gu Nanyan said with a smile, but it sounded so sarcastic to everyone else.
Ziya Jingmo hesitated for a moment, "Ziyan, if you really let go, you won't continue to hide it from Master Shen."
He said something that no one else dared to say.
At the time, no one knew the specifics of what happened. All that was known was that the Morgan family in Western Europe was wiped out overnight, all their businesses were divided up, and Shen Bei'an subsequently developed severe PTSD, especially regarding Gu Nan'an.
Every time Gu Nanyan gets close to Shen Bei'an, Shen Bei'an goes berserk and screams.
No matter how you ask, neither of the parties involved will say anything.
One is unwilling to speak, and the other cannot speak.
Finally, the Shen family accepted Gu Nanyan's suggestion to use hypnosis to seal that memory.
I just don't know where things went wrong.
After his memories were sealed, Shen Beian changed a lot. He became quite resistant to Gu Nanyan, but on the other hand, he was very dependent on Gu Nanyan.
It's a contradiction.
He would post pictures of her on social media, but in real life he would reject her.
It seems like they're just acting, putting on a show called "The Best Marriage".
Gu Nanyan adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "Zi Mo," his voice was a little hoarse, "I will help An An remember gradually. Last summer, when we went to Western Europe again, An An didn't react at all. Your medical skills are excellent."
Ziya Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief. Was this the time to praise her medical skills?
Most importantly, Gu Nanyan personally worked on the last layer.
“Auntie,” Shen Juanqing spoke up at this moment, “Don’t forget, you promised us that you would make Uncle remember, but almost a year has passed now.”
With a hint of accusation.
“Isn’t An’an like this good?” Gu Nan’an asked back. “Zi Qing, he is my lover. It should be my decision to do what I want to do. What do you think?” Beneath his gold-rimmed eyes were sharp phoenix eyes, calm as a lake on the surface, but storms raging within.
How could someone like Master Shen Wu be bad?
But ultimately, that memory belonged to him.
"Alright! Why bring up these things?" Seeing the awkwardness, Lu Ming quickly changed the subject. "Let's talk about how that Young Master Xie became the vice leader of the underground alliance. Aren't you curious? I'm dying of curiosity."
"Of course we're curious!" the others chimed in.
Hua Yueli nudged Shen Juanqing, who lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, Ayu must have suffered a lot to become the vice leader."
However, he was more concerned about his loved one.
Gu Nanyan stopped pursuing the matter and began to speak about these things.
At noon, Fu Muqian also pushed Wei Shengxi back for lunch.
However you look at it, Wei Shengxi's alluring face is pale, and her lips are also white.
“Zixi, Jiangnan is a good place to raise people. Yuhang is a good place for that. How about you go there for a while?” Hua Yueli suddenly spoke with a hint of nonchalance. Her long, narrow, beautiful eyes stared straight at her, her dark eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

Hua Gongzi's true nature is actually hidden very deeply.
