"No need. That woman is no ordinary person. The difference in their strength is too great. That kid probably can't catch up. But it's good to befriend her. Let him take whatever he wants from her private treasury. Consider it an investment. She's probably taught that kid quite a bit, and she's also taken care of his health issues."

"Yes, sir."

After that, the resources Xue Yuan sent became increasingly rare, and Yao Feiran knew that it was probably Xue Yuan's intention, so she accepted them without any burden.

"Feiran, I've brought the medicine you needed. Although it can temporarily disable a seventh-grade martial artist, it won't last long."

"It's okay."

The next day, the news of Wen Yunwan's pregnancy spread throughout the entire Marquis's mansion. Madam Pei's expression finally improved. Wen Yunwan had been married into the family for several years without getting pregnant, and her son only wanted to touch her. Madam Pei couldn't stand her no matter what. Now that she knew Wen Yunwan was pregnant, she was exempted from paying her respects.

Wei Wanying's face twisted slightly. This child probably wasn't Gu Chiyuan's. Was she really going to do this?

Yao Feiran took the medicine and discussed the matter with Wei Wanying.

Wei Wanying still had some doubts: "If everyone catches her in the act, my sister-in-law could very well be ruined."

"If we don't catch him in the act, Gu Chiyuan will continue to have an affair with your sister-in-law. Eventually, your sister-in-law will get pregnant with his child, which will become a member of the Pei family. Gu Chiyuan probably won't be willing to accept that. How can we legally take the child away? The only way is to wipe out the entire Pei family."

Wei Wanying clenched her fists and finally couldn't help but say, "Wen Yunwan is a shameless person. Since she can't get rid of Gu Chiyuan, why does she have to involve others? If she really didn't like Gu Chiyuan, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant. Even if she did, she would have secretly aborted it."

Wei Wanying really couldn't understand Wen Yunwan. Since she couldn't get rid of her, she could have asked Gu Chiyuan to help her get a divorce. Why did she have to drag an innocent person into this and get pregnant with an illegitimate child? Or was having an affair more exciting?

"Feiran, if this is really exposed, won't Gu Chiyuan become enraged and take action against the Pei family?"

"Even if you don't provoke him, he will still target the Pei family because of Wen Yunwan. It's better to provoke him and expose their despicable nature to the public. That way, the Pei family will stand firm. Besides, with me here, we won't die."

Although Yao Feiran couldn't predict the female lead's fate, she had a premonition that after the Pei family was destroyed, the female lead would marry another male supporting character.

In short, countless people paid the price for their game of force and plunder, but the Pei family could not be harmed. Wei Wanying was a member of the Pei family, so Pei Zhixian could barely get by, at least Wei Wanying could not be implicated.

"Okay, but Wen Yunwan is pregnant now, so Gu Chiyuan probably won't be coming over, right?"

Yao Feiran: "They will come. Although they can't do other things, she's pregnant, so they can still hug and cuddle."

Wei Wanying's face turned bright red; this was a huge shock to her.

The two gathered some evidence, and when Gu Chiyuan and Wen Yunwan were once again embracing each other with their clothes disheveled, a scream suddenly rang out from the Pei residence, the accent of which was unknown.

"The eldest daughter-in-law is with another man!"

The Pei family rushed forward. When Pei's mother went over, she saw Wen Yunwan being held down by servants with her clothes disheveled, while Gu Chiyuan stared at them with red eyes. Everyone was shocked. It was actually Gu Chiyuan, the heir of Marquis Wen of Wei. He was a seventh-rank martial artist. What if he killed them to silence them in a fit of rage?

Many people took a few steps back.

Pei's mother staggered a few steps, anxiously searching for her son. After a long while, she finally saw Pei Zhaoqing lying unconscious to the side.

Madam Pei's face flushed red, and she finally uttered a few words: "Inform the master and report to the authorities."

This time, Pei's father went directly to the palace to complain to the emperor and even invited a royal physician to come over. After taking Pei Zhaoqing's pulse, the physician said, "Young Master Pei has taken a kind of dream-illusion drug. After taking it, a person will fall into a coma and will half-realize that they are having a blissful experience. This is something that Yiyun Tower often uses. Long-term use is bad for the body and may even affect fertility."

Madam Pei nearly lost her balance. She glared fiercely at Wen Yunwan: "Have you never consummated your marriage with my son? Have you been spending all your time with the young master? Is your child even my son's?!"

"No... I'm not, please don't make things difficult for me."

Wen Yunwan kept crying. She didn't understand why she suddenly realized that Gu Chiyuan, being a martial artist, should have been able to detect the escape in advance.

Her heart sank lower and lower. There was something wrong with that cup of tea, and someone had already discovered it! That person wanted to nail her to the pillar of shame forever.

The effects of the medicine on Gu Chiyuan had long worn off. He rushed out, releasing his true energy to disperse the ordinary people. Yao Feiran saw the pressure growing stronger and prepared to make her move as well.

At this moment, a gray figure flew over and rushed towards Gu Chiyuan. The two palms clashed together, creating a loud explosion. Gu Chiyuan took a few steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The gray-clad figure was Bai Zheng, the chief eunuch, an eighth-rank martial artist.

"Young Master Gu, His Majesty is watching. Do you intend to defy the law by force?"

Gu Chiyuan didn't speak, but looked around at the people who were bullying Wen Yunwan, and remembered them one by one. Everyone lowered their heads in fear, except for Yao Feiran who looked at him.

He instantly realized that this woman was also a martial artist, and that she was definitely the one in charge of this whole affair.

Yao Feiran took on a mortal enemy without much pressure, as she was already used to it. Moreover, it could draw attention away from the Pei family and prevent them from being implicated.

The news spread quickly, and with the help of those who wanted to spread it, Wen Yunwan became synonymous with shamelessness, her reputation was ruined, and the Pei family divorced her and kicked her out. The Wen family was also unwilling to take back their daughter.

Pei Zhaoqing was greatly shocked, and because of long-term medication, he now has to carry herbal medicine with him at all times.

Wei Wanying was somewhat displeased: "It's clearly Gu Chiyuan who is the worst. If he hadn't forced Wen Yunwan, things wouldn't have turned out like this. In the end, all the bad reputation falls on the woman, and he hasn't been punished at all. He's still the deputy commander of the Wuting Guard."

"He is currently the youngest seventh-rank martial artist, and he is very likely to break through to the Grandmaster level in the future. As for his reputation for forcibly taking other men's wives, it will not affect his power and status at all."

Power and strength are the foundation of a person; those romantic escapades are at most a few words of gossip.

Chaos reigned in the mansion. Yao Feiran received a note from Xue Yuan and went to a private room in a restaurant outside the mansion. Not long after, Xue Yuan came in: "Feiran, I didn't expect that the person you wanted to drug was Commander Gu."

"Stay away from him. He's a wicked person, and he's already got his eye on me."

"What? Then you need to be careful. I also despise his behavior. If you like that woman, you should respect her instead of forcing her to have an affair with you. If the person you love is willing to be with him, then help her get a divorce and marry her. Why do such a despicable thing?"

Yao Feiran's lips twitched, meaning that as long as the person she loved liked her, she would break up someone else's marriage and marry them herself, even if they were already married.

She shook her head: "I happen to have something to ask you. I need a lot of martial arts manuals, anything will do."

Although Xue Yuan didn't know what Yao Feiran was going to do, he still nodded.

Yao Feiran thought that since the cultivation techniques in this world were sealed, it wouldn't be difficult for her to collect a large number of secret manuals and deduce advanced cultivation techniques with her current level of comprehension.

After a while, Xue Yuan asked hesitantly, "Grandpa said you're a seventh-grade martial artist, is that true?"

Yao Feiran remained silent.

Xue Yuan already knew that his grandfather was probably right, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions. He should make up his mind.
