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 I said before, there were only the two of us in the courtyard, my brother-in-law and I, and no third person to provide evidence for him. Under these circumstances, as long as I stubbornly deny it, my 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 when she heard Young Master Liu's words.

Sure enough, just as I expected, my brother-in-law really made me do it.

Stay calm, stay calm, you must stay calm.

In short, as I said before, there is no evidence; he has absolutely no evidence against his brother-in-law.

Actions made solely by one's own shadow prove nothing.

After quickly calming herself down, Gu Molanya smiled gently and raised her jade-like hands to lightly tug at the outer garment on both sides of her fragrant shoulders.

"Okay, I understand."

After responding to Young Master Liu's words in a sweet voice, Gu Molanya smiled radiantly and first turned her fair and slender neck to look at Young Master Liu. Then, she glanced at her own shadow and Young Master Liu's shadow out of the corner of her eye.

"Brother-in-law, little sister, do I have to keep this pose going?"

Liu Mingzhi smiled and waved his hand in response to Gu Molanya's question.

"No need, no need, you can do whatever you want now."

Upon hearing her brother-in-law's reply, Gu Molanya immediately withdrew her gaze from the corner of her eye and met Liu Dashao's eyes with a smile.

"Brother-in-law."

"Yes, go ahead, I'm listening!"

Gu Molanya gently twisted her fair and slender neck twice, then looked at Young Master Liu with anticipation and said softly, "Brother-in-law, I have followed your instructions and completed all the cooperation diligently."

"Now, can you perform the magic trick you mentioned for me?"

Upon hearing Gu Molan's question, Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment before casually tearing open his pipe.

Immediately, he skillfully pinched a small pinch of tobacco from his pipe and put it into the bowl.

Upon seeing this, Gu Molanya couldn't help but furrow her delicate brows slightly.

"Brother-in-law, it's only been about the time it takes to drink two cups of tea since we first met, and you've already smoked two bowls of tobacco. Do you want to smoke another one?"

Liu Mingzhi loosened his grip on his pipe and chuckled as he took a match from the matchbox.

"Hehehe, the last batch, just one last batch. After this batch, I won't smoke anymore."

Seeing that her brother-in-law had already taken out the matches, Gu Molanya could only smile and nod her head a few times.

"Okay, I understand."

Liu Mingzhi skillfully struck a match and put it directly into the pipe.

"Whoo~"

After Liu Mingzhi slightly tilted his head and exhaled a puff of smoke, he casually tossed away the match he was holding between his fingers, and then gently crushed the match on the ground with his right foot.

"Lan Ya".

"Hey, brother-in-law, what do you say?"

"Lanya, sister, before I perform a magic trick for you, I have a question I want to ask you."

Upon hearing what Young Master Liu said, Gu Molan Ya was instantly filled with an indescribable bitterness.

Seriously? Another question?
Brother-in-law, my dear brother-in-law, where do you get so many questions?

Don't you have any idea how tormenting your problem is?

Brother-in-law, do you know what? To answer those questions you asked earlier, I've been racking my brains trying to come up with a solution.

At this moment, Gu Molanya wished she could slap her brother-in-law across the face and loudly tell him to shut up and stop asking her questions.

Of course, she only thought about this secretly in her heart.

If you really asked her to do that, even if you gave her ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to do such a thing!
Gu Molanya forcibly suppressed the bitterness deep in her heart, smiled and looked at Young Master Liu, saying softly, "Brother-in-law, ask away, I'm all ears."

After taking a deep puff of tobacco from his pipe, Liu Mingzhi turned with a smile to look at his own and Gu Molan's shadows.

"Oh, what's with all this talk about being all ears? We siblings are just being polite."

"Lan Ya, I just want to ask you something, little sister, do you think those movements I just asked you to do look familiar?" As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and smiled as he observed the changes in the expression on Gu Mo Lan Ya's pretty face.

When Gu Molan heard the question that Young Master Liu had asked her, she felt a sense of relief. So that's what her brother-in-law was asking her!

Just as she was relaxing, she saw Young Master Liu suddenly turn his head and look at her.

She was startled when her brother-in-law suddenly turned around and looked at her.

"Oh!"

After letting out a soft cry, Gu Molanya immediately rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu with a look of annoyance.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing? You scared me half to death."

When Liu Mingzhi saw Gu Molanya, he was startled at first, and then immediately rolled his eyes at him with an annoyed expression. A faint look of doubt flashed quickly in the depths of his eyes.

He had seen Gu Molanya's behavior and reaction clearly.

However, judging from his sister-in-law's reaction just now, he was really unsure whether her behavior and reaction were a genuine instinct or a deliberate act.

Liu Mingzhi suppressed his doubts and smiled as he raised his pipe to Gu Molanya.

"Oh, Lanya, I'm so sorry, I'm really so sorry."

As I was talking to you, a wisp of smoke was blown into my eye by the night wind, so I instinctively turned my head away.

As your brother, I didn't expect that my sudden turn of the head would startle you, Lanya.

"Lanya, little sister, I'm so sorry, so sorry, I'm really sorry."

After hearing her brother-in-law's explanation, Gu Molanya couldn't help but purse her lips.

Brother-in-law, do you think I'm blind? Didn't you see which direction the smoke you just exhaled drifted?

Judging from where we're standing right now, the night breeze tonight is clearly blowing from behind you, isn't it?

The night wind is blowing from behind you, so how could the smoke you exhale possibly get into your eyes?

Although Gu Molanya knew perfectly well that Young Master Liu was lying to her, she still nodded gently with a bright smile.

Oh! I see!

Brother-in-law, did the smoke you exhaled get into your eyes? Should I take a look?

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi smiled and raised his left hand, waving gently at Gu Molanya.

"Hahaha, haha~ hahahahaha."

"No need, no need. I turned my head in time and wasn't bothered by the smell."

Gu Molan nodded gently with a smile in her beautiful eyes, and replied in a soft voice with her lips slightly parted: "Mmm, very good, very good indeed."

Since your eyes weren't hurt by the smell, brother-in-law, I can rest assured.

Liu Mingzhi nodded with a smile, then took a small puff of his pipe.

"Lanya, let's not talk about this anymore, let's continue with our previous topic."

"Brother, let me ask you one more time. Don't you think those movements I just had you do look familiar?"

When Gu Molanya saw her brother-in-law bring up the same question again, she smiled slightly and nodded a few times to Young Master Liu without hesitation.

"Mmm, yes, it's familiar! Of course I'm familiar with it!"

Brother-in-law, the few actions you made me do are clearly the same few actions I did when I was watching you from behind.

From the time I was little until now, it hasn't even taken the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

In such a short time, how could I not be familiar with the movements I just performed!

Upon hearing Gu Molan's reply, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and raised an eyebrow.

"Lan Ya, it's good that you're familiar with it, it's good that you're familiar with it!"

"Lanya, little sister, since you're familiar with these movements, don't you have anything you'd like to say to your brother?"

As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, Gu Molanya answered him decisively with a single word without even thinking.

"Have!"

Upon hearing Gu Molan's words, Young Master Liu couldn't help but feel excited.

That's great, that's great, that's really great.

After talking about this over and over again for so long, let's finally get back to the main topic.

Liu Mingzhi forcibly suppressed his excitement and feigned surprise by raising an eyebrow.

"Oh? Lanya, is there something you want to tell me?"

Gu Molan blinked her beautiful, watery eyes a few times, her stunning face full of anticipation as she looked at Young Master Liu and said sweetly, "Brother-in-law, I want to ask you, we've been chatting for so long, when are you going to perform a magic trick for me?"

Upon hearing Gu Molan's question, Liu Mingzhi's expression faltered slightly.

His slightly stunned expression revealed that he hadn't expected Gu Molanya to say such a thing.

Seeing her brother-in-law suddenly become somewhat stunned, Gu Molanya suppressed a laugh and lightly bit her pearly white teeth.

Immediately afterwards, she slightly raised her fair and slender neck with her delicate brows furrowed, and looked directly up at the bright moon in the night sky.

"Brother-in-law, judging from the current moonlight, it will be midnight in about half an hour."

According to my usual routine, I would have already been fast asleep by now, dreaming of playing chess with the Duke of Zhou.

The reason I've been chatting with you, brother-in-law, until now is because I want to see what kind of magic trick you'll perform for me.

But I've been waiting for so long, brother-in-law, and you still haven't performed your magic trick for me.

As Gu Molanya spoke softly, she abruptly turned her gaze away from the bright moon in the night sky and met Young Master Liu's eyes with suspicion in her beautiful, watery eyes.

"Brother-in-law, if I may be so bold as to ask, do you actually know how to perform magic tricks?"

If you don't know any magic tricks at all, just tell me directly, and I won't say anything.

Brother-in-law, look me in the eye and tell me honestly, do you actually know magic tricks? (End of Chapter)
