"You are not worthy of mentioning her," Gu Xiuyan's cold eyes were gone, replaced by a burst of murderous intent, "You, the second branch of Changping Marquis's Mansion, have occupied the magpie nest for many years and received a lot of help from Changping Marquis' Mansion. Not only do you not know how to be grateful, but you also repay kindness with hatred. You knew that her parents died to save your father, but you deliberately bullied and humiliated her..."

Before she could finish her words, a blowpipe arrow was already flying straight towards the back of Su Sui'an's neck. When Su Sui'an noticed it, the arrow was less than half a foot away from her.

She barely dodged sideways, her face turned cold, and when she looked at Gu Xiuyan again, all the sarcasm in her eyes turned into endless coldness, "Gu Xiuyan, if that thing on your neck is used to make up for your height, then forget it. Who is Zhao Qingwan? Is she worthy of me bullying and humiliating her?"

As soon as Su Sui'an finished speaking, he felt his body go numb and his neck tighten.

Gu Xiuyan came to her side at some point, pressed her acupoints, and pinched her neck tightly.

"Don't force me to do it. Give her the marriage back."

He spoke each word slowly, as if squeezing it out from between his teeth.

Once upon a time, Gu Xiuyan was also the bright moon in Su Sui'an's heart.

But now, he is clearly a demon.

A demon who will stop at nothing to achieve his goal.

That’s right, how could the young Chief Justice of the Dali Temple be a gentle and polite gentleman?

Perhaps, this is the real him.

Or maybe, he really likes Zhao Qingwan, to the point of madness...

Then she should use his madness to make the emperor withdraw the imperial decree of marriage - after all, it was her father's military merit, why not use it to exchange for something else? Why use it to help this couple get together?

"How can she be so shameless?" Su Sui'an's eyes turned red from being pinched, and he squeezed out every word from his dry throat, "That's my marriage. You want to marry her? You can ask the emperor to grant the marriage, or go to the emperor to cancel the engagement. It was you who changed your mind first. I'm sorry, don't try to throw dirty water on me."

Gu Xiuyan didn't seem to expect Su Sui'an to be so tough. Perhaps it was the stubbornness of the woman in front of him that made him feel pity.

He loosened his grip slightly, "I'll give you one more chance..."

"It's not necessary."

His neck was firmly grasped by a large hand like an iron hoop, and Su Sui'an couldn't even breathe.

But there was indifference in her eyes, as if she had already put life and death aside.

"If you have the guts, kill me now. Otherwise, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."

As soon as she finished her words, she flew out like a kite with its string broken, and hit the wall heavily.

It felt like her internal organs were dislocated, and even breathing almost cost her her life.

She felt a sweet and fishy taste in her throat and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The acupoints were also opened because of the hit he just made.

This pain is nothing compared to the pain in the previous life.

But her current body is still too delicate.

If the injury was a little bit serious, she would need to recuperate for a while, not to mention that Gu Xiuyan had murderous intentions towards her just now, and that blow was filled with his internal energy.

It took her three attempts before she was able to exert some strength with her hands and feet.

Just as she was about to get up, she felt a dull pain in her back, and Gu Xiuyan stepped hard on her back with his right foot.

"I say it again, give her the marriage back."

Su Sui'an simply lay on the ground, coughing up a few mouthfuls of dirty blood. She stopped struggling and just lay on the ground, letting Gu Xiuyan's shoe soles roll over her back.

Every time the body ached, the dreams of the nine-year-old girl faded a little.

Su Sui'an still had a nonchalant smile on his face. "Master Gu is ruthless and cruel, and his reputation is well-deserved. However, don't forget that there are only twelve days left before our wedding. If Master Gu can't think of a solution, then your beloved woman will have no choice but to become a concubine in the mansion. However, looking at Master Gu's expression, he might be looking forward to the sparks that can be created between me, your rude and domineering wife, and your concubine."

As she spoke, she coughed a few more times and spat out the blood in her mouth.

Gu Xiuyan increased the strength of his feet.

"you dare?"

After lying on the ground for a while, the strength in Su Sui'an's hands slowly returned, and she slowly clenched her hands into fists.

The tone of ridicule was still in her mouth, "What am I afraid of? Could Lord Gu dare to favor a concubine and kill me, the wife granted by His Majesty? Also, I don't want to remind you again that this marriage was originally mine. Even if I regretted the marriage on the spot and begged His Majesty to take back his decision, I would not give it to Zhao Qingwan."

"In that case, don't go back today."

After he finished speaking, Gu Xiuyan stretched out his palm and turned it into a claw, condensing his internal force in his palm, trying to smash Su Sui'an's crown with one blow.

At the critical moment, Su Sui'an turned his fingertips and suddenly jumped up, and a sharp silver needle quickly penetrated into the numb point on Gu Xiuyan's right leg.

Gu Xiuyan lost his balance for a moment, and his right hand, which had originally condensed his internal strength, hit the wall heavily, directly opening a hole in the wall of the wing room.

When Su Sui'an stood up from the ground with disheveled hair, Gu Xiuyan's eyes were already red and he could only stand steadily by holding on to the wall.

A man in black who was hiding in the dark fell to the ground silently, and the cold sword was across Su Sui'an's neck.

"What did you do to me? Why can't I control my right leg and have any strength at all?"

The look Gu Xiuyan gave Su Sui'an was like poison, and he wished he could eat Su Sui'an alive.

Su Sui'an gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingertips. His eyes, which used to sparkle when he saw Gu Xiuyan, were now so calm that they were almost dead.

She did not answer Gu Xiuyan's question, but gave him a malicious smile, "Gu Xiuyan, I don't kill you, not because I still have so-called old feelings for you, but because you don't deserve to die in my hands now. You will regret everything you did to me today.

I will give you one last chance. If you do not cancel the engagement, I will marry into the Duke Gu's mansion as usual and torture your Wan'er to death."

After saying these harsh words, Su Sui'an smiled contentedly, turned around gracefully, straightened his back, and waved away the teacup he had drunk from. "Master Gu's tea is really too bad to drink. In this life, I will never drink another cup of your tea again."

The moment she finished speaking and turned around, the man in black who had held the sword across Su Sui'an's neck just a moment ago let go of the sword and fell softly to the ground.

Under Gu Xiuyan's shocked gaze, Su Sui'an slowly gathered his cloak, put on his veil, opened the door and left.

The door of the wing room was opened from the inside. Cong Ming, who was guarding outside, thought it was Gu Xiuyan and hurried forward.

After all, the last time they met, his master left first, leaving Su Sui'an, the love-crazy boy, standing there in grief.

This time, it is certainly no exception.

The door was completely opened, and the smile on Ming's face froze instantly.

He had only taken half a step when he stopped dead in his tracks.
