The Fourth Lady

"However, whether or not this will succeed, I don't know yet. After all, it still hasn't been tested." Qingyan looked to Murong Jingxuan and replied with a serious look.

"What new ideas do you have now?" A thought surfaced in Murong Jingxuan's mind, "Don't tell me you're thinking...?"

"That's right, I'll use Su Qingyuan as a starter, let her become my puppet first. However, whether or not it will succeed, I don't know yet." Qingyan spoke in an indifferent tone.

"Then why don't you try it tonight?" For some reason, whenever he was with her, Murong Jingxuan would always feel as if his feelings were getting pulled along by a thread.

"I also have such intentions. But don't blame me, if something is not satisfactory." Qingyan continued in a low voice, "However, I can return now." With that said, Qingyan pulled open the door and walked out.

"I'll go find you at night."

Hearing Murong Jingxuan's voice, Qingyan turned around to him and nodded.

After Qingyan returned to Yingshuang yard, she saw Su Yun and Luo Bing absentmindedly sitting there with a heavy expression.

"Yan'er...." Su Yun raised his head to look at her, yet he didn't know how he should explain. Thinking back on Xuanyuan Yufan's words during the Imperial court session today, he furrowed his brows.

"Father, mother, your daughter isn't a child anymore." Qingyan saw their tightly knitted brows. Something bad must have happened to have made Su Yun and Luo Bing make that kind of expression.

And for them to make that kind of expression, could it be this matter was related to her?

"Father, mother, since this matter is related to me, I have a right to know." Qingyan looked to the two of them with a serious look.

Hearing her words, Su Yun looked up to her. With a single glance, it really made him feel as if this girl before him has really grown up, so much so that it made him have a somewhat strange feeling. This daughter before him gave off the feeling of someone in a high position, looking down from above. But his daughter wasn't even of age* yet, how could she have this kind of display?
