The events of tonight have left Chu Qianli restless and inexplicably fearful.
She had a nagging feeling that something might have happened without her knowledge.
Could it be as she feared?
"Find someone... hurry, find someone! Find your friends in the martial world and stop Feng Wuya for me... no, find more friends. I have plenty of money. As long as they kill Feng Wuya, I'll give them a thousand taels of gold!"
A thousand taels of gold!
Qingmei's eyes immediately lit up with brilliance!
"Yes!"
"Wait a moment!" Chu Qianli was still uneasy. "Do not let anyone know about this. That it is related to me."
"Naturally!"
Qingmei took the order and left.
A thousand taels of gold! As long as her friends she found were involved, they would split it fifty-fifty, and she would still have five hundred taels.
Gold!
Enough for her to squander for a lifetime!
Chu Qianli was left alone in the sleeping chamber, pacing restlessly.
Had Feng Yexuan truly sensed something and was now suspecting her identity?
Otherwise, why would he have Feng Wuya leave in the middle of the night?
Was Feng Wuya going to find Wu Chenzi?
This Fifth Prince was known for his reclusive nature and had very few friends!
Was he truly going to find Wu Chenzi?
But Wu Chenzi should already be dead. Why was Feng Wuya so confident in searching towards the southeast?
They say that those who do nothing wrong fear no knocking at their door. It was precisely because she felt guilty that every slight disturbance now made Chu Qianli feel as though everything was targeting her!
No! She couldn't just sit here and wait for death!
She was outnumbered and weak here, and would surely be bullied!
Everything she had painstakingly obtained, she would never hand over to others again!
She needed to think carefully about how she should proceed.
...
In the sleeping chamber of Wuzhou Garden.
Xiao Yao pushed Feng Yexuan away forcefully.
This time, Feng Yexuan did not make things difficult and sat up from her. His expression... was completely devoid of emotion.
"You've gone too far!" Xiao Yao tightly clutched her clothes.
Her clothes were torn like this! It was impossible to wear them any longer.
This scoundrel was truly detestable! But...
Xiao Yao felt a pang of annoyance. At this point, all she cared about was her clothes?
Shouldn't she be angry that this scoundrel casually used her, tore her clothes, and exposed half of her body?
"Feng Yexuan..."
"Why did you seduce me?" Feng Yexuan suddenly lowered his head, staring at her coldly.
Xiao Yao was stunned, almost laughing in anger!
"When did I..."
"If you didn't seduce me, why were you so obedient in my arms? Even waiting for me to kiss you?"
Feng Yexuan narrowed his eyes, gripping her wrist to prevent her from moving her hands.
His gaze towards her grew colder and more heartless, even carrying a hint of mockery.
"When I held you just now, mistaking you for Li'er because I was drunk and wanted to kiss you, did you resist?"
Xiao Yao's eyes widened, unable to refute a single word.
She... truly hadn't resisted.
Who knew what she was thinking just then, but she felt as though she was possessed, unable to think of anything else. Her eyes were filled only with his pained figure and suffering gaze.
Because of his pain, her heart ached, and she even shed a few tears.
But she swore, she really didn't do it on purpose, and it was impossible that she wanted to seduce him!
"What exactly are women's hearts thinking?"
Feng Yexuan seemed very angry, yet also seemed very pained.
His gaze, fixed on the location of her heart, was filled with an indescribable desolation.
"Are you... really Li'er?"
