Each world be

After seeing Gu Xiao in the room, Shi Qing suppressed the doubts in his heart and was overjoyed, "Gu Xiao, you are finally back!"

"A Qing, how is your injury?" Gu Xiao stood up and looked at her with concern, his eyes gentle and affectionate.

"I'm almost well now, but I'd like to trouble you to go out of town to pick herbs for me." Shi Qing gave him a soothing look and said guiltily.

Seeing the two people being affectionate in front of her, Yin Xinyue reminded them coldly: "Mr. Gu, let's talk about business first."

"By the way, what is the matter that you called me here for?"

Realizing it belatedly, Shi Qing opened his almond-shaped eyes and looked at the two of them in confusion.

Gu Xiao looked at her deeply, and finally made up his mind, and asked seriously: "Ah Qing, what is your relationship with Lin Yan?"

Sure enough, he still came.

Shi Qing's heart sank, but compared to worrying about when they would question her, she felt much more at ease knowing that this window paper had been broken.

"He is my brother."

She blinked her big eyes and frowned slightly, as if she was very confused as to why she asked such a question.

"Is he my biological brother?" Gu Xiao's expression remained unchanged.

“…No.” After hesitating for a long time with a bitter face, Shi Qing stammered.

really.

Hearing the expected answer, Gu Xiao laughed meaningfully.

"Then why did you forge your identities to come to the Yin Mansion? Why did you come to marry me? Why did you want to harm my father?"

Yin Xinyue, who was sitting nearby, suddenly stood up and asked questions repeatedly, her eyes full of disbelief and icy sharpness.

"Sister Yin, I am sorry for hiding my true identity from you. I apologize. But I didn't do it on purpose. My brother just said that he likes you, but we have special identities and he was afraid that you couldn't accept it, so he resorted to this desperate measure."

Shi Qing spoke sincerely, every word was earnest, and her fair face looked innocent.

"Like? Hahaha!"

Yin Xinyue laughed, tears streaming down her face. "How do you explain the man in black on the night of the wedding? How do you explain my father being poisoned?"

"Sister Yin..."

"Don't call me sister!"

Yin Xinyue's voice was shrill, as if she was irritated.

When she thought about how she had treated these "brother and sister" sincerely all these days, but ended up with such an outcome, she wished she could slap herself to death.

"Ms. Yin, I admit that I concealed my identity from you. However, I was indeed unaware of the man in black and Lord Yin's poisoning, and I really didn't know what he was going to do."

Shi Qing's eyes were pure and open, without any sense of guilt or unnaturalness of lying.

What Shi Qing said was true. She guessed that Shen Yan had some purpose, but she really didn't understand his plan.

Even after finding out, he chose not to tell Yin Xinyue, but continued to hide it.

Of course, she couldn't say this out loud, so what she told was half true and half false.

"A Qing, are you really a member of the Demonic Cult?" Finally, Gu Xiao, who had been thinking silently beside him, asked.

After a series of thoughts last night, I connected all the things together one by one and found many coincidences and suspicious points.

After hearing Wei Hu's words, he became even more certain that Wei Hu and Lin Yan were in the same group.

He rushed back today, but found that Shi Qing was not in the room and Shen Yan was nowhere to be found.

The prefect was poisoned and unconscious, and there was someone guarding outside the room.

"Yes." There was nothing to deny, Shi Qing admitted it generously.

Yin Xinyue sneered.

"Although we don't know what Lin Yan is going to do now, we have to leave now."

Gu Xiao looked serious. "Yesterday outside the city, Wei Hu and his group chased me, but I killed them. But Wei Hu escaped. Now I'm afraid that the news has also reached Lin Yan's ears."

"And Miss Yin, Lord Yin has been poisoned. You are in a very dangerous situation now. You should leave now while Lin Yan is not here."

"What about my father?" Yin Xinyue looked at Gu Xiao anxiously, tears welling up in her eyes. "I can't abandon my father."

"Miss Yin, Lord Yin once asked me to protect you. Now I can only escort you and Chunxiang away first. Besides, there are people from Lin Yan guarding outside Lord Yin's room. We will find a way later."

Gu Xiao had already suffered some internal injuries from dealing with Wei Hu yesterday, and Governor Yin was now unconscious and could not be rescued at all.

"Yes, Miss Yin, you should leave with Gu Xiao first. After all, it will be more dangerous if you stay." Shi Qing advised kindly.

"There's no need for you to be hypocritical!" Yin Xinyue glared at her coldly. She still couldn't forgive her and Lin Yan for deceiving them.

Seeing this, Shi Qing had no choice but to shut up.

"Ms. Yin, what Ah Qing said makes sense. Lin Yan hasn't attacked you yet, but there's no guarantee that he won't in the future. Only when you leave safely can I focus on saving Master Yin."

Gu Xiao glanced at the silent Shi Qing indifferently, and patiently persuaded Yin Xinyue.

"Mr. Gu, please save my father!" Yin Xinyue suddenly knelt down and begged him with tears in her eyes.

"Ms. Yin, please get up first. I will do my best." Gu Xiao helped her up, then took a step back calmly.

"Miss Yin, please hurry up and get ready. I'll go check on the guards in the mansion first and I'll be back in half an incense stick."

After Gu Xiao finished speaking to her, he pulled Shi Qing, who was standing there stupidly, and walked out.

After leaving Yin Xinyue's yard, Gu Xiao looked at Shi Qing, who had no expression on her face, with an unpredictable look on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "Ah Qing, don't you have anything to say to me?"

"Don't you already know everything? What else do you want me to say?"

Shi Qing answered indifferently, her tone as cold as if she was facing a stranger, but she lowered her eyebrows and eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.

Her tone was like the cold wind on a winter night, chilling and biting.

Gu Xiao only felt it was ironic, and asked with a sneer, "So, you are just pretending to be nice to us like Lin Yan, just acting for the sake of convenience?"

"If you think it is like this, then it is like this." It still means no excuse.

"Lin Qing, don't use that tone, please explain yourself clearly!"

Irritated by her attitude of not wanting to explain, Gu Xiao suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.

As luck would have it, it was the injured shoulder. Shi Qing felt pain but managed to hold it in.

"What else do you want me to say! Since you knew I was from the Demon Cult, you immediately concluded that I was deceiving you. In your heart, no matter what I did, I was just acting. Then I'm telling you, I was deceiving you from the beginning to the end. I approached you for a purpose. Being nice to you was fake, counting the stars with you was fake, and weaving sword tassels for you was also fake...Are you satisfied with this?"

The girl choked up as she spoke the last sentence.

Gu Xiao was stunned. He saw that the girl in front of him had tears in her eyes.

Water vapor accumulated in his eyes, and when he finished speaking the last word, crystal clear tears finally fell.
