Looking at Chi Wanyue's quiet little face again, a smile flashed quickly in Ning Huaizhao's eyes.

You're a ghost girl, you don't have much ability, but you have a lot of ideas.

After all, Chi Wanyue still caught Ning Huaizhao's soft heart towards her.

Some people are obsessed with it and don't even know it.

It was warm and harmonious here, but things were turbulent over Cheng Wan's place.

When Cheng Wan saw Ning Huaizhao coming out with Chi Wanyue in his arms, she knew she had failed. Her face turned green with anger, she patted the railing and planned to leave Man Tingfang.

But before he could go out, he was stopped by a book boy.

Cheng Wan was in a bad mood right now, and she didn't speak in a good tone: "What are you doing?"

Yin Mo nodded slightly and looked very respectful: "Miss Cheng, my lord has invited you."

Cheng Wan frowned: "Who is your master?"

"Master Pei Yan, the Minister of Justice."

Cheng Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, and it turned out to be Pei Yan.

She originally wanted Ning Huaizhao to catch Pei Yan and Chi Wanyue in adultery. She was afraid that something unexpected would happen, so she found two extra men. She thought that if the plan to catch the adulterers failed, she would let Chi Wanyue completely.

Lose your innocence and you'll be done with it.

Unexpectedly, she didn't see Pei Yan getting on the boat, so she let the two men in.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yan actually came, but did not go to draw the boat, which made his plan come to nothing.

Thinking of this, Cheng Wan waved her hands angrily, and her tone of voice could not be described as arrogant when she spoke.

"He is just a minister of the Ministry of Justice, and I am worthy of him."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Wan raised her feet and was about to leave. Yin Mo behind her slowly said: "My lord has said that if Miss Cheng is not afraid of being taken advantage of by the King of Jin, she can leave."

As expected, Cheng Wan successfully stopped and turned to look at Yin Mo. After thinking about it for a few times, she reluctantly turned back and said, "Lead the way."

Yin Mo stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture: "Miss Cheng, please."

Cheng Wan raised her head and followed him to a secluded room in Man Tingfang.

The furnishings in the room are luxurious and low-key. There is an incense burner burning in the room, and plumes of white smoke rise and spread throughout the space.

It is the top grade agarwood that has been used for thousands of years.

Pei Yan was sitting in front of the small table, wearing a dark blue cloak. He was holding a teapot to refill the tea cup. He coughed from time to time and looked very weak.

What Cheng Wan saw when she came over was a scene like this. The man lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. He was thin and handsome. His every move was neither hasty nor slow, and he was very elegant.

From the rumors she heard about Pei Yan, she thought he was a reckless man who was illiterate in poetry. But now she saw that it was far different from his rumored deeds.

She really couldn't figure out how such a man could make such a big ugly appearance in front of the people and Chi Wanyue, so she asked Chi Wanyue to change her mind even if she lost face.

Seeing her coming, Pei Yan looked at her, slowly curved his lips, and his eyes were filled with sparkle, like broken glass worth a thousand dollars.

These eyes actually added a bit of brilliance to the otherwise unremarkable facial features, and Cheng Wan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Miss Cheng, please sit down."

Cheng Wan came back to her senses, a flash of annoyance flashed in her eyes, and thought to herself: Rumors are really harmful.

How did she know that the Pei Yan in front of her was not the same Pei Yan?

Sitting opposite him, Cheng Wan seemed to be trying hard to regain her dignity. She always looked like a proud reed chicken, holding her head high and speaking in a very indulgent tone.

"Pei Yan, since you are here, why don't you get on the boat? Are you willing to watch Ning Huaizhao and Chi Wanyue hook up and commit adultery?"

Pei Yan chuckled lightly, picked up the cup on the tea table, put it to his lips and took a sip. His tone was neither hasty nor slow, and his voice was gentle and mellow.

"Since Miss Cheng is not willing to give in, she just wants to destroy it, so why should she take advantage of it?"

Cheng Wan felt guilty when he said that, her eyes wandered wildly, and she said as if she was cheating: "When did I take advantage of you? Don't slander others. This lady will not recognize the cause of this disaster."

Pei Yan was not upset, he covered his lips and coughed a few times.

"Miss Cheng, you can deny it if you don't want to. However, King Jin will find out what you did sooner or later. By then, he won't be able to drink tea calmly like you and me."

When Ning Huaizhao was mentioned, fear appeared in Cheng Wan's eyes. Her fingers unconsciously dug at the edge of the table, and she lost the confidence to speak.

"I'm just a monster that everyone wants to beat up. What can you do to me?"

A flash of sarcasm flashed in Pei Yan's eyes.

He is really an idiot, but he just happened to use it, and it is easier to use things that are brainless.

"The emperor originally sent him to a fiefdom and planned that father and son would never see each other again in this life, but the emperor personally issued an order for him to return to Changjing. He even urged and invited him to see him. Do you really think he is a useless person?

Isn't this coward a threat to you and the Cheng family?"

Cheng Wan had never cared much about matters in the court, and she couldn't figure out these twists and turns.

But these words Pei Yan said were clearly conveying a message to her.

Today's King of Jin is not what he used to be. He is so relied upon by the emperor that the Cheng family cannot compete with him.

Cheng Wan lowered his eyes and looked around. After he figured it out, a layer of panic appeared on his face.

"But...but the person who sent the message is Chi Qingliu, what does it have to do with me?"

"You are the culprit, aren't you? Besides, I heard that King Jin also captured two men. They have nothing to do with you either?"

Pei Yan's expression was calm and indifferent from beginning to end, but his eyes were filled with sharp gleams, and every word was threatening, trying to push Cheng Wan closer to the trap he had woven step by step.

"But I never came forward from the beginning to the end. Those two men were bribed by my maid."

As she spoke, Cheng Wan looked at Yinghan. Although she said this, she could not hide the panic in her eyes.

Yingzhan was suddenly called out, and she was a little flustered, but she still focused her eyes on Pei Yan's face, then moved away and bowed slightly: "It was indeed a slave who did it, and they used a gauze to cover their faces. They must have recognized it."

Can’t come out.”

Pei Yan raised his eyes and looked at her. After a few seconds of silence, he waved to her slowly: "Come here and let me take a look."

Yinghan glanced at Cheng Wan and walked over after seeing her nod, feeling uneasy in her heart.

She walked up to Pei Yan and lowered her eyebrows.

Pei Yan raised his head and glanced at her, and his eyes fell on the red mole between her right eyebrows. He suddenly raised the corner of his lips and spoke softly, but a chill rose up from the tailbone of the person listening.

"This red mole between the eyebrows is quite special."

Yinghan's face instantly turned pale, she felt even more uneasy, and even her body started to tremble.

Pei Yan smiled with a harmless look on his face: "Come closer."

Yinghan was so frightened that her lips trembled, and she looked at Cheng Wan as if asking for help.
