You are turning black and white upside down! Are you still going to argue? Get out, just get out! If you want to embarrass yourself, don’t drag the Guan Family down with you!
Guan Li stood up to chase people away, his face flushed a deep purple with frustration. The Fourth Concubine, holding back tears, tried to calm him down, murmuring about how their master’s health was poor and pleading with everyone to stop the quarrel.
Guan Junjin’s gaze shifted away from A-Qin, maintaining a silent amusement as he watched the scene unfold. Guan Qingmo, oh Guan Qingmo, what a fool he is. He was always under Guan Su Lin's influence. No matter how favored A-Qin became, there would come a day when her beauty would fade. Only the ruthless and decisive uncle was their true pillar of support.
Tan Yan gripped his blind cane tightly, suppressing the urge to knock some sense into that foolish Guan Yao. He had clearly pointed out the key issues; all it took was exploiting a verbal loophole to expose Guan Su Lin. Yet, Guan Yao couldn’t keep his composure and was easily manipulated.
The dirty water shouldn’t have splashed onto him, yet he insisted on catching it. Tan Yan's thoughts were tangled; rather than clearing Guan Qingmo’s name, what drove him nearly mad was the safety of Zheng Mengni. Even if she had been kidnapped at Guan Su Lin's behest, it didn’t mean she was entirely without danger.
Among those who were indifferent to the situation, Guan Su Lin appeared the most anxious and troubled. In a panic, he rushed out the door, feigning a search for Zheng Mengni’s whereabouts.
The atmosphere fell into another stalemate, silence enveloping the room as an eerie chill settled in, sending shivers down spines.
When Zheng Mengni woke up, the narrow room was pitch dark. She wasn’t bound by anything and could move freely; only the door remained tightly shut. The pain in her neck was severe; even a gentle touch brought discomfort.
Zheng Mengni got up and paced back and forth, trying to maintain a calm mindset as she carefully searched for clues in the room. When she reached the corner, she noticed that Guan Qingmo was still tied up and showed no signs of waking.
Feeling disinterested in him, she found a spot to sit far away and began to analyze her situation step by step. Guan Junjin, son of the Fourth Concubine. His A-Qin was the most favored woman in the household; it seemed unnecessary for him to take risks by kidnapping her and ruining their engagement.
Zheng Mengni silently excluded him from suspicion, placing the blame on Guan Su Lin instead. Just then, Guan Qingmo struggled to wake up. His mouth was taped shut, and he let out a painful whimper.
Zheng Mengni shot him a cold glance and stepped forward to rip off the tape. "Tell me what you know."
After holding his breath for a long time, Guan Qingmo finally managed to catch his breath, his eyes bloodshot. "That bastard Guan Junjin! He has the audacity to—"
Zheng Mengni was not convinced by this answer. She tried to guide him further. "With your understanding of him, do you think he could manage to abduct both of us in broad daylight all by himself?"
Guan Qingmo paused, realization dawning on him. "No! No way does Guan Junjin have that capability! He must be acting under someone's orders."
"Who do you think it is?"
"I... I..."
As Guan Qingmo thought hard about the question, a headache began to throb in his mind. Unable to come up with an answer, he seized the opportunity to sow discord and started blaming Guan Su Lin. "Although I don’t know who the mastermind is, that useless Guan Su Lin can’t even take care of you properly!"
Zheng Mengni remained silent. "But if Guan Su Lin truly wanted to protect you, wouldn’t he be able to? To put it bluntly, Zheng Zheng, you’re just bait for him. Only the old man in the Guan Family would believe in this treacherous scoundrel."
