Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong subconsciously pulled Shao Qingyuan to the side and aimed the crossbow at him.

"I’m warning you, don’t do anything rash."

The man glanced at her. His eyes were actually very clear as he looked at the two of them calmly.

Shao Qingyuan narrowed his eyes. "You woke up long ago?"

"Not too long ago. Just during your conversation just now." The man’s voice was hoarse and his throat was dry. When he spoke, he felt a burning sensation.

He secretly swallowed his saliva and felt slightly better. Then, he looked at Gu Yundong with a complicated gaze.

Gu Yundong felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She frowned. "Why are you looking at me?"

"I want to know why you didn’t hand me over."

"Hmm?"

The man said, "Actually, when your maidservant carried me to the cellar, I had already woken up, but I didn’t have much strength." Her maidservant was careless and didn’t notice that his entire body was tense and alert when she reached out.

However, at that time, his hands and feet were tied up and he was injured. Actually, he could not do much.

"During the time I went to the cellar, I heard a few words you said in the courtyard."

The courtyard was noisy, and they could not hear the subtle movements here.

However, he could clearly hear the conversation outside.

It was precisely because he heard it that the man was lying quietly on the bed at this moment.

"Not only did you not hand me over, you even treated my injuries. Heh." The man laughed. He knew how serious his injuries were. In fact, before he fainted, he was already prepared to die. It was just a pity that he couldn’t complete the mission.

Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan looked at each other and then at him curiously.

"We just want to know why you want to assassinate Marquis Pingnan. Do you have a grudge against Marquis Pingnan? Or were you ordered by someone?"

The man glanced at them and fell silent, not answering.

Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. "Alright, I understand. You were instructed by someone."

The man was stunned. The expression on his face changed subtly, but it quickly returned to normal. "Why do you think that?"

"Generally speaking, those who have a personal grudge with him don’t mind saying it out loud. Although your silence just now can’t explain anything, it’s obvious that you’re under someone’s instructions."

The man smirked again. "What a pity. I was about to succeed, but you guys ruined it."

He was referring to the time when Shao Qingyuan pulled the carriage that had lost control and saved Doctor Qiao and Han Ying on the way to the Xuanhe Prefecture.

Gu Yundong’s face darkened. "If you want to deal with the Han family, there’s no need to harm Doctor Qiao, right? That’s our uncle-master."

The man suddenly laughed. He laughed so hard that his chest hurt, but he quickly calmed down.

After a while, he looked at Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan and shook his head. He said sarcastically, "Your Uncle-Master?? That’s really a good Uncle-Master."

Shao Qingyuan frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I think you should thank me for harming Doctor Qiao."

The man laughed. "Forget it. No matter what, you saved my life. It can be considered fate. In that case, I should repay you. Let me tell you a secret."

"...Is it about us?" Gu Yundong felt that when he heard about Doctor Qiao, his expression was very subtle.
