Qin Mufeng's nearly perfect eyebrows were fixed on the book of Heli spread out in front of him. As his mind wandered, the hand on the table suddenly tightened and clenched into a fist.

He had been sitting in this posture for a long time, and his limbs had become stiff and numb.

Do you want to fulfill her?

He asked himself repeatedly, but he still didn't have a definite answer.

But what he didn't know was that sometimes no answer is the best answer.

Intellectually, he wanted to let go and fulfill Yun Xi's wish, but his emotions kept pulling in the opposite direction and stretching all his nerves.

In the end, he was still unwilling.

He somewhat hated himself for not facing his heart earlier, and even more regretted that he had chosen to escape when he first noticed it.

If he had been willing to face up to his inner feelings earlier, things might have turned out differently.

Before this, he had never made anything or made a decision that he regretted.

Because he knows that regret is the same as if, it is the most unrealistic and useless thing in the world.

There are no ifs and no medicine for regrets in the world.

In the end, in this tug-of-war between reason and emotion, reason prevailed.

He comforted himself and said: This is good, at least it can leave some dignity for himself in her heart.

He moved his numb arms and picked up the langhao pen on the pen holder.

A sharp-edged word Qin came down, and something was withdrawing from his body. The pain he couldn't tell where came from made the pen in his hand pause for a moment.

"The eldest son."

Qin Yi's deliberately low voice sounded outside the study door, and Qin Mufeng breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been rescued suddenly.

He put down the langhao pen in his hand as if he had dropped a hot potato.

"Come in."

"Master, we found out that it was the madam who hired the killers from Suohun Tower to hunt you down. In addition, you also made some new discoveries about what you asked your subordinate to check Miss Liu."

Qin Mufeng's pupils flickered, and there was an inexplicable expectation in his heart that he couldn't even explain what it was.

When Qin saw him looking at her, he continued: "Miss Liu, under the guidance of the escort god Wu Xufa, has some talent in concealed weapons. But..."

Qin Yi didn't know whether he should express his suspicions, so he hesitated.

Qin Yi was trained by Qin Mufeng, and he knew all about his little problems and habits.

"Just what?"

"This subordinate finds it a bit strange. Before meeting you, Miss Liu seems to have never used silver needles, and because of Miss Yun, she seems to be a little averse to silver needles."

He didn't say any more, leaving enough time for Qin Mufeng to make his own judgment.

Qin Mufeng thought seriously for a while. It made no sense that Qin Yi could think of problems, but he couldn't think of them.

"Is the information accurate?"

"It shouldn't go wrong."

Could it be what he thought? Qin Mufeng's heartbeat suddenly picked up.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Qin Yi, go and verify this matter yourself. In addition," he took out two silver needles from under the desk and handed them to him: "find out the origin of these two silver needles."

Qin Yi felt bitter in his heart when he took the silver needle.

This gold-tailed silver needle is okay, it is not common after all, but the other silver needle is so common that it can be seen everywhere...

"I want to know the results in three days."

"……yes!"

Qin Yi swallowed the bitterness in his heart and responded with hesitation but also with certainty.

Qin Mufeng picked up the half-signed Heli Book with a heavy look and tore it into pieces with several strokes.

After thinking about it, Yun Xi still felt that she should go get the deed of betrayal in person and discuss Yun Hu's matter.

As soon as she entered the gate of the Hou Mansion, Liu Ruyan got the news and rushed over to block her way, looking at Yun Xi defensively.

"What are you doing here? Who let you in?"

"...I'll get the He Li book." Yun Xi decided that she must read the almanac carefully before going out next time.

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise don't blame me for making it impossible for you to stay in the entire Lijing City."

Yun Xi frowned and decided not to lower her dignity and argue with the mad dog.

"If you don't stop me, I will go faster. Of course, if you don't have confidence in yourself and feel that you are not as good as me, you can go with me."

Liu Ruyan, who originally wanted to follow me: "... Just you? You are not worthy of being my opponent."

Yun Xi hid the smile in her eyes, feeling extremely happy.

Humph! You little boy, you are a little too young to fight with your sister.

Under Liu Ruyan's gritted teeth, she walked straight to Qin Mufeng's study with elegant steps.

"The eldest young lady."

Qin Er, who was guarding outside the study door, saw that she was here and greeted her as usual. Unexpectedly, Yun Xi corrected him with a cold face: "You have recognized the wrong person."

"..." Qin Er silently closed his mouth. You are the master and I dare not speak back.

Qin Mufeng, who was painting in the study, heard the movement outside the door and hurriedly covered the half-painted painting with blank cooked rice paper.

He calmed down and went to open the door for Yun Xi himself.

The door of the room was suddenly opened from the inside. Yun Xi's hand that knocked on the door was hanging in the air. The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Qin Mufeng glanced at Qin Er, and Qin Er walked away silently.

Seeing that Yun Xi had no intention of entering the study, he asked knowingly, "Why don't you go in and talk?"

Yun Xi pinched the one hundred taels of gold silver note and thought that she had to negotiate with him about Yun Hu's matter, so she walked in with a natural expression.

"This is a silver note of one hundred taels of gold."

Qin Mufeng's heart flashed with intense pain. He knew how he got these hundred taels of gold without asking.

He didn't care about her contract of sale, what he cared about was the friendship between her and Bai Chen that allowed her to borrow so much money at once.

He thought that Bai Chen would not be as shameless as him, borrowing money from others and having to mortgage his body in exchange for it.

Qin Mufeng saw her looking at him intently, and his face felt inexplicably hot, not because of shyness, but because he was ashamed of the bastard thing he had done.

He reached for the brocade bag at his waist, intending to return the deed of sale to her as agreed, but found nothing.

He poured out everything in the bag without giving up.

There is nothing else except two seals.

Yun Xi frowned and had some bad premonitions in her heart.

"Sorry, I can't find the deed of sale for the time being. But don't worry, I will return it to you as soon as I find it."

The expression on Yun Xi's face was extremely cold, but she had no other choice. She took a deep breath and resisted the urge to curse.

"Should He Lishu have been signed, right?"

Qin Mufeng's body stiffened, and the bitterness in his heart spread along his limbs and bones to every corner of his body.

"I didn't sign it"

"Oh!"

Yun Xi finally couldn't bear it and sneered.

This sneer was like an invisible slap hitting Qin Mufeng's face, causing his whole face to burn with pain.

Before he could say anything, he heard her say again: "You are very good, Qin Mufeng."

His heart skipped a beat: "Yun Xi, listen to my explanation, I"
