1922: Newlywed

Newlywed

"Yes." Yan Qing lowered his head slightly. "Nan Hongyang admits that they came this time with the tacit approval of the Nan family head, Nan Yifan." 2

Chu Liuyue found it unbelievable. This testimony is fatal to the Nan family! Yan Qing has really pried open the Nan family elder's mouth?

She couldn't help but size Yan Qing up again. His cold face is still as calm as ever. It's as if this matter is nothing to him… However, that is a legendary warrior!

She didn't think that Nan Hongyang would take the initiative to betray the Nan family. Since Nan Yifan had instructed them to do this, he must've chosen people he trusted. So… Nan Hongyang must've been forced into a corner. No matter what, he is a legendary warrior! What method did Yan Qing use to actually pry his mouth open?

"Did he say anything else besides that?" Rong Xiu didn't seem surprised by this and asked faintly.

Yan Qing shook his head. "No. He said that the masterminds of this matter were mainly Nan Yuxing and Luo Yan, and the remaining few of them were just following orders and came together. They weren't clear about the details."

That wasn't impossible since there was a lot at stake. The fewer people who knew, the better.

Nan Yifan and the others probably didn't expect that they would still fail even after sending such powerful combatants. More importantly, they didn't even have the time to escape.

In the end, they were captured and tortured!

Chu Liuyue stroked her chin. If Nan Yifan and the others had known that things would develop to this point, they probably wouldn't have made this decision. But where in the world is there a cure for regret?

"What about Luo Yan?"

Yan Qing paused. "He refuses to answer."

Luo Yan was a tough nut to crack.

He was still different from Nan Hongyang and the others. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a high status in the Nan family.

It was within Chu Liuyue's expectations that he wouldn't confess. Instead, it was Yan Qing who surprised her by making Nan Hongyang confess.

She smiled and said, "It's fine. Nan Hongyang has already admitted it, so it doesn't matter if he says it or not."

Rong Xiu knocked on the table. "Although that's the case… it's more convincing if he personally confesses."

Chu Liuyue nodded in agreement.

She thought for a moment. "I'll ask him myself later."

A hint of hesitation flashed across Yan Qing's face as he subconsciously looked at Rong Xiu. "Princess Consort, that place is very dirty. You—"

"It's fine. I'll go with Yue'er." Rong Xiu didn't seem to care. Since she wants to go, she must have her reasons.

Chu Liuyue blinked at him. My man is indeed reliable.

Rong Xiu suddenly asked, "Is there any movement from the Nan family?"

Yan Qing immediately replied, "Not yet."

Their people had been on full alert, but the Nan family had yet to send anyone over.

Rong Xiu squinted his eyes slightly. Nan Yifan should've known the moment Nan Yuxing died. Several days have passed, but he still hasn't moved. This isn't normal.

Chu Liuyue stood up. "In that case, why don't we directly ask Luo Yan now?"

Yan Qing stopped trying to dissuade her and took a step back.

Rong Xiu suddenly sighed.

"What's the matter?" Chu Liuyue glanced at him in confusion. Didn't he say we were going together?

Rong Xiu leaned back in his chair and rubbed his forehead with his slender fingers.

His movements were casual and lazy, but there was an indescribable nobility in his bones.

The sunlight shone on him, making his white clothes look even whiter than snow.

He looked at Chu Liuyue with warm eyes. "We're newlyweds, but Yue'er only has eyes for others and has no place for me."
