Cheng Yan took a deep breath and quickly sorted out his emotions.He can settle the matter of the He family slowly in the future, and it is better to get out as soon as possible, otherwise things will change later.

The matter is clear, but fortunately, Cheng Yan didn't fall for it, and it's useless to say more, he didn't want to give He Huishu any winks: "Miss He, no matter how many difficulties you have and how difficult the situation is, this is not a reason to sacrifice me to fulfill you , everyone has their own destiny, so let’s do it for ourselves.”

After speaking, Cheng Yan turned around and wanted to leave.

In the Duke's mansion, because Duke Mao himself didn't care about things, the wife of the Duke and He Chutai insisted on the same thing and tortured those concubine sons and daughters arbitrarily.The lifeblood of He Huishu and her biological mother is in He Chutai's hands, and there is no way to retreat when walking here.

If you retreat, there will be an abyss; if you advance, there is still a glimmer of life, so it is better to go all out and fight hard.

But in an instant, He Huishu had made up her mind, and the sadness in her eyes turned into determination. She immediately struggled to stand up, and while staggering towards Cheng Yan, she raised her breath and shouted: "No... huh!"

Before the indecent words could be fully uttered, He Huishu groaned, fell to the ground, and passed out.

Gu Yunqiao held a stone in his hand, and took two steps back in fright. When he raised his eyes, he happened to meet the eyes of Cheng Yan who turned his head anxiously.

Seeing Cheng Yan's dazed expression, Gu Yunqiao threw down the stone after realizing it, her face blushed, and she couldn't speak coherently: "I, I was in a hurry... I didn't mean it, and I didn't expect it... She's so weak..."

Ignoring other things, Cheng Yan quickly squatted down to check on He Huishu's situation.Fortunately, the breath is still there, and the injury on the back of the head is not serious. Presumably, He Huishu was unable to stand on the top of the medicine, and happened to be hit by Gu Yunqiao, which was not serious, and she just passed out temporarily.

Cheng Yan heaved a sigh of relief: "It's nothing serious, it shouldn't take long to wake up, don't worry."

Gu Yunqiao was a little at a loss: "Then, what should we do? Should we wait here for her to wake up? Or call someone?"

Cheng Yan was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled at her: "Miss Gu, let's run."

-

Running all the way to a place where no one was safe, Gu Yunqiao was still in a daze.She accidentally injured someone, how could she escape on the spot if she didn't call for a doctor?However, when Cheng Yan made this proposal, she didn't hesitate and just ran away with him. What if He Huishu had something wrong?
Gu Yunqiao's mind was in a mess, and Cheng Yan beside him was also in a mess.

He wasn't worried about He Huishu. On the one hand, she wasn't seriously injured. According to the original plan of the He brothers and sisters, He Chutai should arrive soon to smash the "personal affair", and she wouldn't be in danger of her life.On the other hand, it was the He family's plan that was the first, and they stole chickens without losing money, and they don't know who did it, so they must not dare to bring this matter to the public, so they can only swallow this dumb loss.

It was Gu Yunqiao... Cheng Yan glanced at her calmly, feeling a little apprehensive for no reason.

At that time, since Gu Yunqiao was able to make a decisive move to injure He Huishu, it showed that she knew the truth, otherwise she would not have stood by his side.When did she come?How much did you hear?Will she tell Gu Yunji what happened today?
The most important thing is that he was so indifferent to He Huishu just now, which is far from his usual image, will it... scare Gu Yunqiao?

Thinking of this, Cheng Yan glanced at Gu Yunqiao again, and couldn't help but ask: "...Why did Miss Gu go to the back garden?"

"Ah?" Gu Yunqiao was still immersed in her thoughts, and suddenly came back to her senses, "At the banquet earlier, Miss He said that she drank too much and felt uncomfortable, and she wanted to go to the back garden to get some air. Gui, I was worried that something might happen to her, so I wanted to take a look, and I just heard crying..."

Hearing this, Cheng Yan knew it in his heart: It seems that Gu Yunqiao came when He Huishu was crying, which meant that she had listened to the conversation between the two and knew everything.

Gu Yunqiao really knew everything. When she first saw Cheng Yan and He Huishu getting along with each other alone, she thought they were having a tryst.

He Huishu and He Chutai jointly planned to force Cheng Yan into He's family, but luckily Cheng Yan was alert and cautious enough not to be fooled.Seeing that the plan was not working, He Huishu wanted to smash the jar and yell at Cheng Yan for molesting her. Although there was no proof, if someone heard the voice and rushed over, it would be difficult for Cheng Yan to get away.

In desperation, Gu Yunqiao's blood rushed to her head for a moment, her hands moved faster than her brain, and when she recovered, He Huishu had already fallen to the ground.

And then—the two left He Huishu and fled the scene.

Cheng Yan was silent for a while, and said: "Miss Gu, please don't mention today's matter to anyone, even Yun Ji."

Gu Yunqiao nodded like pecking rice: "Don't worry, I won't say anything."

Cheng Yan knew that she had misunderstood, and said helplessly: "I mean, He Huishu doesn't know who beat her. As long as Miss Gu hides it, the He family will not find you."

Gu Yunqiao looked up at him: "Then what should you do? The He family is the Duke's mansion."

He Huishu didn't know that Gu Yunqiao beat her, but Cheng Yan couldn't run away. Today he offended the Duke's mansion so badly. Even if the He family didn't dare to retaliate openly, stumbling secretly would be enough for him to drink a pot .

"Me?" Cheng Yan was slightly stunned, his eyes darkened, "I don't care, anyway, they won't kill me, as long as they don't kill me, one day I stand up, at worst they will kill them."

He said this calmly, but there was a piercing chill in his words, which made Gu Yunqiao shiver uncontrollably.

Cheng Yan's eyes flashed, and his expression quickly returned to warmth, as if the appearance just now was just an illusion, he smiled and said, "Did you scare Miss Gu? I was joking."

His tone just now didn't seem like he was joking...

Gu Yunqiao suppressed the strangeness in her heart, and said: "The He family has suffered a loss today, and I'm afraid they won't let it go. If Mr. Cheng can't handle it, you can tell my brother, and he will help you."

Cheng Yan responded with a smile, but he didn't intend to tell Gu Yunji that he could handle this kind of matter by himself, and there was no need to involve others.What's more, if the Songjiang Gu family's relationship is not used, Gu Yunji himself is just a minor official in the Imperial Academy, so he can't help much, and instead has one more person to worry about.

After speaking, the two suddenly didn't know what to say, and fell silent one after another.

Cheng Yan looked at Gu Yunqiao who was uncharacteristically quiet and not as lively as before, his heart sank a little bit.

"Did I... let Miss Gu down today?"

A slightly lonely voice came, Gu Yunqiao looked up in surprise, and saw Cheng Yan's forced smile: "He Huishu is in a miserable situation, I can't help myself, but I don't sympathize with her at all, I only think about how to protect my own interests , throwing her there regardless of her life or death is not what a gentleman would do."

Gu Yunqiao didn't know what he was thinking, and looked at him incomprehensibly: "How can Mr. Cheng say that? He Huishu designed you first, even if she has difficulties, this is not the reason for her to kidnap you morally. What's more, today's situation Special, it is not easy for you to get out of the body, if you sacrifice yourself because she is pitiful, wouldn't you be an idiot?"

Hearing what Gu Yunqiao said, most of the depression in Cheng Yan's heart dissipated.
