After Gu Molanya understood the true intention behind her brother-in-law's actions, her heart was once again in turmoil.

She had initially thought that with her repeated, deliberate attempts to make jokes, her brother-in-law had gradually forgotten his true purpose in coming to find her!
In retrospect, I was just overthinking things.

It turns out that from the very beginning until now, my brother-in-law has never forgotten his true purpose in coming to find me.

In addition, Gu Molanya also understood why her brother-in-law hadn't told her to walk behind him, but instead turned his back to her.

At first, she thought that her brother-in-law was doing this out of concern for her, his sister-in-law, and didn't want her to make so many trips back and forth!

It wasn't until now that she suddenly realized that she had been overthinking things all along.

My brother-in-law's actions weren't out of concern for me at all. The real reason he did this was because there were no large red lanterns hanging under the eaves of the house on the other side for lighting.

There were no large red lanterns illuminating the area under the eaves, so naturally, one's shadow could not be cast on the ground by the light emitted from the lanterns.

Since his shadow wasn't reflected on the ground by the light, his brother-in-law naturally couldn't observe his movements based on his shadow.

Too cunning, too sly, absolutely too cunning.

From beginning to end, it was all scheming, absolutely scheming.

Gu Molanya gently lowered her long, slender arm that she had been holding up, and glanced sideways at Young Master Liu standing next to her, her mind in turmoil.

"Since my brother-in-law has never forgotten his true purpose in coming to find me, doesn't that mean I have to answer why I secretly watched him?"

No, no, absolutely not.

In any case, he couldn't answer why he had secretly watched him before.

Otherwise, how can I face him in the future?

But now that things have come to this point, what can I do if I don't answer the questions?

What should I do? What should I do? What should I do now?

After a moment of inner turmoil, Gu Molanya hurriedly and quietly clenched her fair, delicate hands.

Don't panic, don't panic, there will definitely be a way, there will definitely be a way to deal with it.

I've already dealt with the previous two times, so there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to handle this one!

As the old saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way," and "When the boat reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself."

If you put your mind to it, you will definitely find a solution.

Even if I really can't think of a solution, I can just cheat on my brother-in-law. After all, it's not like I haven't cheated on my brother-in-law before.

Since I've already cheated once, what's wrong with cheating one more time?

As Gu Molanya pondered rapidly, her mind suddenly lit up.

Wait, right! I can keep cheating on my brother-in-law!

Who am I? I'm my own brother-in-law's sister-in-law!

With such a status, even if his own brother-in-law knew he was being unreasonable, there was nothing he could do about it!
After all, it's not a good reputation for a brother-in-law to bully his sister-in-law.

Given that her brother-in-law is the ruler of a country, he would certainly not do anything to her for the sake of his own reputation.

After making up her mind, Gu Molanya quickly calmed down from her chaotic state of mind.

It's just a little bit of shamelessness, isn't it?

As long as we can get through this difficult time, let's just be shameless.

In truth, Gu Molanya didn't want to act like a rogue with Young Master Liu from the bottom of her heart.

Unfortunately, she couldn't think of any other solution besides this one in the short term.

She didn't want to act this way if there was even the slightest possible solution.

"Ugh!"

"Brother-in-law, I was forced into this situation and had no other choice. I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against me!"

Gu Molan sighed inwardly, muttering to herself in frustration, before a smile that was more beautiful than any flower suddenly appeared on her stunning face.

Immediately, with a radiant smile, she turned her slender, fair neck to look at Young Master Liu standing beside her.

"Brother-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi looked at Gu Molanya, who was smiling radiantly at him, and nodded with a faint smile.

"Yes, Lan Ya, you speak, I'm listening!"

Gu Molanya quietly loosened her tightly clenched white hands, looked at Liu Dashao and said in a sweet voice with her lips slightly parted, "Brother-in-law, what do you mean by 'in my opinion'? Do you need to continue?"
Brother-in-law, well, if I may be so bold as to say this, your question is completely unnecessary.

Brother-in-law, don't you think about this? If you don't tell me the fifth step, how can I continue to cooperate with you?

If I don't continue to cooperate with you, how will you continue to perform magic tricks for me?
Brother-in-law, don't you think that makes sense?

After Gu Molan asked Liu Dashao three questions in a row, the look in her eyes as she looked at him suddenly became strange.

That strange look in his eyes seemed to say, "Brother-in-law, is there something wrong with your head?"

Upon hearing Gu Molanya's series of rhetorical questions, Liu Mingzhi's smile involuntarily froze.

Just now, Gu Molan's beautiful smile froze, but now it was Young Master Liu's smile that froze.

The saying "fortune's wheel turns" is perfectly exemplified in the lives of Liu Dashao and his sister Gu Molanya at this moment.

Gu Molan noticed that her brother-in-law's smile suddenly froze, and a barely perceptible slyness flashed in the depths of her beautiful, watery eyes.

"Brother-in-law."

"Huh? Ah! Lan Ya, you speak, I'm listening!"

Gu Molan smiled gently, raising her long, slender arms and gracefully swaying her willow-like waist a few times.

"Brother-in-law, I've already completed the fourth step you mentioned. What should I do for the fifth step?"

Upon hearing Gu Molanya's gentle question, Liu Mingzhi's lips twitched slightly involuntarily.

The reason his lips twitched slightly wasn't because he didn't know what to say in the fifth step, but because he couldn't understand why, given that things had already come to this point, there was any need to continue with the fifth step. His eyes were perfectly fine; he had clearly seen Gu Molanya's changes in expression and her subsequent subtle movements!

Judging from the changes in her sister-in-law's expression and her little gestures, she had clearly figured out the purpose of making her do those things.

In that case, does it make any difference whether or not this fifth step is continued?

Seeing the slight twitching at the corner of Young Master Liu's mouth, Gu Molanya suppressed a laugh and coughed softly twice.

"Ahem, brother-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and glanced at Gu Molanya, who was gently swaying her waist.

"Hmm? Lanya?"

Gu Molanya stopped her gentle swaying of her waist and lowered her long, slender arms that had been hanging in mid-air with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, what are you spacing out for?"
Tell me quickly, how should I cooperate with you next?

After I've completed all the coordination, brother-in-law, you can perform magic tricks for me.

"Brother-in-law, tell me quickly! Tell me how to do the fifth step! I'm waiting to see you perform your magic trick!"

Upon hearing Gu Molan's gentle and urging words, Liu Mingzhi's already slightly furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply.

"Lan Ya, are you sure you want to continue with the fifth step?"

When Gu Molan heard her brother-in-law ask her a question, she immediately nodded her head a few times to Young Master Liu without hesitation.

"Yes, yes, brother-in-law, of course we need to continue!"

If you don't continue with the fifth step, how are you going to perform magic tricks for me?

As Gu Molan spoke softly, it seemed as if she suddenly remembered something. In an instant, she frowned slightly, lifted her lotus foot, and took a small step forward.

Then, with a puzzled look on her face, she slightly tilted her fair and slender neck and gave Young Master Liu a deep look.

"Brother-in-law, um, you didn't suddenly change your mind and not want to perform magic tricks for me anymore, did you?"

Upon hearing Gu Molan's questioning tone, Liu Mingzhi first took a deep breath with his mouth open, then shook his head gently with a smile.

"Hahaha, Lanya, you're overthinking it. How could I possibly go back on my word?"

"Brother, I still mean what I said before. It's just a magic trick, nothing serious. Lanya, if you want to see it, I'll perform it for you."

Upon hearing what Young Master Liu said, Gu Molanya's slightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and the look of doubt on her pretty face vanished in an instant, replaced by undisguised joy.

"Brother-in-law, you're so good to me! I knew you wouldn't be the kind of person to go back on your word."

After responding to Young Master Liu's words with a delighted voice, Gu Molanya immediately turned around and gently swung her slender arms twice.

"Brother-in-law, tell me, what else do I need to do next?"

Liu Mingzhi smiled and gave Gu Molanya a deep look, then turned slightly to look at the two shadows of himself and Gu Molanya reflected on the ground by the light.

"Lanya, are you ready?"

"Yes, yes, brother-in-law, I'm ready. Just say it." Gu Molanya nodded her head without hesitation and answered sweetly with a smile when she heard Young Master Liu's question.

"The fifth step is to straighten your body and gently shake your head from side to side."

Upon hearing this, Gu Molanya immediately shook her head left and right, her smile unchanged.

"Okay, little sister, I understand. Brother-in-law, what's next?"

Liu Mingzhi stuck out his tongue and lightly licked his slightly dry lips, then said softly with a smile, "Then, tilt your head slightly to the right, but don't take your eyes off our shadows."

When Gu Molan heard what her brother-in-law had told her to do, the pupils in her beautiful, watery eyes suddenly contracted, and her heart, which had finally calmed down, couldn't help but panic slightly.

Based on the actions her brother-in-law had made her do, she immediately realized that he wanted her to repeat the actions she had previously performed behind his back!

Realizing this, Gu Molanya's heart immediately became even more panicked.

If things go as I expect, my brother-in-law will first turn his head away and look at us from the corner of his eye, then continue to watch our shadows out of the corner of his eye.

Gu Molan glanced at Young Master Liu quickly and discreetly, then gently bit the tip of her delicate tongue with her pearly white teeth.

A slight pain on the tip of her tongue instantly calmed the panic in her heart.

Stay calm, stay calm, you must stay calm and absolutely cannot let your brother-in-law see that you are panicking.

It's just repeating the same actions you've done before, what's the big deal?

In short, as mentioned before, there were only the two of them, myself and my brother-in-law, in the courtyard, and there was no third person to help my brother-in-law provide testimony.

As long as you stubbornly refuse to admit it, your brother-in-law won't be able to produce any evidence.

He couldn't produce any evidence, so naturally he couldn't do anything to himself.

As Gu Molanya pondered this matter rapidly, her heart finally calmed down completely.

In short, since I've already resorted to shamelessness, I might as well go all the way.

Gu Molanya slightly parted her lips and took a breath, then gently bit her tongue with her pearly white teeth.

The agreement she received through the taste buds solidified her resolve.

Immediately, she did as her brother-in-law instructed.

Gu Molan looked at her and Liu Dashao's shadows with a smile in her beautiful eyes, and said in a sweet voice, "Brother-in-law, I'm done. Is there anything else?"

Liu Mingzhi raised an eyebrow and chuckled a few times, glancing sideways at Gu Molanya as he said loudly, "Hahaha, yes, there's one more step."

"Okay, brother-in-law, you go ahead, I'm listening!"

"The last step, Lanya, turn your head and look at me first, then use the corner of your eye to continue observing our shadows cast on the ground by the lamplight."

Upon hearing Liu Mingzhi's words, Gu Molanya's graceful figure immediately trembled slightly.

Although she had already anticipated what her brother-in-law would ask her to do, her body still trembled slightly involuntarily upon hearing Young Master Liu's words. (End of Chapter)
