The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

"I don't know him, but I heard there are assassin organizations in the underworld who can hire people to solve problems for money."

Gu Wen continued.

Troubles, of course, come in many forms, including people.

Gu Ya's eyes lit up again, and she excitedly grabbed Gu Wen's sleeve: "Go hire someone to get rid of Gu Yunyan now."

Gu Wen silently stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of Gu Ya.

"What are you doing?" Gu Ya asked in a daze, looking at the palm in front of her.

"Give me ten thousand taels of silver to buy a killer. I don't have that kind of money." Gu Wen said as a matter of course.

Now that his mother is not the head of the family and his father is at home, he is not familiar with the housekeeper and even has a grudge against his eldest sister, so he has no way of withdrawing large sums of money from the account.

Gu Ya's breath was stuck in her throat, neither going up nor down, leaving only heartache and discomfort.

"Go, take out ten thousand taels of silver from my money box and give it to the eldest master."

After a while, the trusted maid took out an exquisite small box carved with lotus flowers from the inner room and handed it to Gu Wen.

Gu Wen looked at the small box in his hand, and a look of joy flashed across his eyes.

I couldn't wait to open it and count them. There were ten brand new silver notes, all with a face value of one thousand taels.

He took out the silver bills, put them in his pocket and left, throwing the small box on the table.

Gu Ya felt sorry for her money, so she took two steps forward and couldn't help but said, "Brother Wen, you must hire the most powerful killer."

"Sister, I understand. Are you still worried about me taking action?"

Is this something she is worried about? This is her bottom-line money, a total of only thirty thousand taels, and every penny she spends is a penny less.

She regretted that she had spent money without counting it and had not saved much money.

After all, she has parents who love her and would not let her be without money. How could she have known that the current situation would occur?

......

Su Yuan has been busy and has not shown up.

He came to visit her boudoir again in the evening, holding a small box in his hand. Gu Yunyan asked with a smile.

"How come you have time to come here today? Are you done with your work?"

Dong Ye took off the last hairpin for Gu Yunyan, then lowered his head and quietly left.

He was also considerate enough to close the door and stand guard at the door.

Dongyue was holding a box of body ointment and reached out to push the door, but was stopped by a hand that grabbed her wrist tightly.

"Dong Ye, why are you stopping me? The lady is waiting for me to go in and apply ointment to her. I can't delay."

She swung her hand, trying to shake off Dongye's hand.

Dongye leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice: "Your Highness is in there. Go in if you don't want to live."

Dongyue quickly covered her mouth, her eyes wide open in shock.

She also thanked him quietly: "It's a good thing you stopped me." If she disturbed His Highness, she might be beaten back and return to the dark and shady days.

......

Inside the house, the two people with sharp eyes and ears were silent for a moment.

Su Yuan felt a rare annoyance in his heart. Dong Ye had ruined his reputation. Was he so cold and heartless?

He glanced at Gu Yunyan and saw that she was sitting in front of a bronze mirror combing her hair. There was no strange expression on her face, so she probably didn't hear what was said outside.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Standing behind her, he reached over her shoulder and placed the small box on the dressing table in front of her.

"I'm almost busy now."

Wei Hu on the roof rolled his eyes and muttered in his heart. He didn't know who it was, but as soon as he received the letter from the Anbu, he put down his official duties and came over.

"What is this?" Gu Yunyan tilted her head and looked up at him.

There was a big question in those warm pupils, without any concealment, making it clear to everyone.

Su Yuan pursed his lips, his expression was cold, his eyes flashed with coldness, and he was filled with murderous intent: "Someone paid six thousand taels to hire a killer to kill you. This is the silver note brought by the employer."

Gu Yunyan's pupils shrank, her hands loosened, and the jade comb fell.

The slender, bony hands easily took the jade comb and silently handed it to Gu Yunyan.

And he comforted her: "Yunyan, don't be afraid."

"The Dongyue and Dongye beside you are not top-notch fighters, but they can fend off ordinary assassins. I will also send some secret guards to protect you."

So you don't have to be nervous or afraid of anything.

Gu Yunyan suddenly smiled sadly, with helplessness and pain in her eyes: "Who is the employer?"

Su Yuan seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, hesitating and said nothing.

He didn't know whether Gu Yunyan could accept the fact. Gu Wen was the only male in the Gu family, and Gu Lin would definitely protect him to the end.

Gu Ya is also about to get married and become the daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson of the Duke's Mansion.

Whether out of family affection or interests, Gu Lin had no reason to punish them.

Besides, isn’t Gu Yunyan fine?

How can we still care about that?

"Even if you don't tell me, I can probably guess it. It's Gu Wen, right?" Gu Yunyan took the comb and unconsciously stared at the bronze mirror while combing her hair, smiling bitterly.

Su Yuan's eyes widened slightly. He didn't expect that she could really guess it.

Since I have already guessed it, there is nothing to hide: "Well, Gu Ya paid the money and Gu Wen came forward to find the killer."

"I know that Gu Ya and Gu Wen hate me, but I didn't expect them to hate me so much that they would hire someone to kill me."

Gu Yunyan looked hurt and gloomy.

The hand that was gently combing the black hair stopped and secretly tightened its green jade fingers, leaving teeth marks on the palm, which caused a slight pain.

Su Yuan's deep eyes showed his care for her.

He grabbed her hand, spread her fingers and took out the jade comb. After a closer look, he saw that her palm was indeed covered with red marks. His voice was cold and gentle: "Don't hurt yourself for someone who has nothing to do with you."

The system swallowed its saliva, a little scared.

The host's acting skills have reached a new level, if she hadn't been following the host and knew the ins and outs of the matter.

She will also be deceived by the host.

Also, I just held the jade comb tightly, not the blade, so you are worrying too much.

Gu Yunyan seemed to be shocked, her eyes turned red, and she suddenly turned around and hugged Su Yuan's strong waist, with her ear resting on his abdomen.

Feel the other person's body tense up instantly.

There is not a trace of fat on the waist of the man under his hand, and the abdomen where his face is pressed is covered with eight well-proportioned abdominal muscles.

She smiled secretly in her heart and felt that she was really blessed.

But his face showed fragility and dependence, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Your Highness, maybe I am just not likable."

"I didn't do anything, but my adoptive father, mother, and brother hate me."

"Now that I'm back at the Gu family, my younger sisters and brothers hate me again. I've caused trouble for my father and caused discord among the siblings in the Gu family. It would have been great if I could have gone with my mother at that time."

Su Yuan's earlobes turned red and heat rose on his face.

He was trying hard to control his surging passion, his hands were slightly raised, frozen in mid-air.

Staring at the beauty's thin and round shoulders, with confusion in his eyes, can I put my hand on her?

Will I be hated?

When he heard Gu Yunyan's negative words, he calmed down instantly and stopped worrying. He put his hands on her round and smooth shoulders and spoke comforting words.

“There is no mother who doesn’t want her child to live well.”

"They don't like you because they are blind and have no ability to judge people. They just follow what others say and have no opinions of their own."

"Besides, General Gu likes you, and Master must like you too."

"Don't belittle yourself. You deserve better. Don't care what they think."

There was news from the Anbu.

He knew very well about General Gu's plan to divide the family property, so it was impossible for him to completely give up Gu Wen and Gu Ya.

He could show some preference to Gu Yunyan.

But this could not satisfy Su Yuan. The person dear to his heart could not suffer any grievance.

Whoever wronged her, he would pay it back a thousand fold.
