Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

"You?" Gong Yuanzheng seemed to have heard something funny. "What's the point of monitoring a loser like you?"

Looking at Gong Ziyu's handsome face filled with anger at being looked down upon, the young man's eyes flashed with hostility: "What? Do you want to go to my sister and plead for mercy, so that I can let these brides go? Or do you want to have these brides imprisoned in the women's guesthouse first, and then find another way to find Wufeng's assassin?"

"I don't think so!" Gongzi Yu denied.

It was true that he wanted to ask Sister Ayun for mercy, but he had never thought of letting these brides live in the women's guesthouse before the Edgeless Assassin was found.

Sister Ayun is staying temporarily in the women's guesthouse, he is not that stupid.

"Stupid." Gong Yuanzheng sarcastically mocked the other person. "You and your sister grew up together. If you don't know how she treats Wufeng, then all her kindness to you is in vain. You don't deserve to be her brother. If you knew and still tried to plead for her, you'd be heartless and unworthy of calling her sister!"

Gong Ziyu's face turned pale, and she quickly defended herself: "I'm not trying to protect Wu Feng, I just feel sorry for these innocent women who were implicated!"

"Sister Ayun is a woman like these brides, so she naturally knows the difficulties women face in this world. If she knew, she would definitely not agree to such wanton killing of innocent people!"

"How ridiculous! How dare you presume to make such a presumptuous assumption about my sister? You pity them, but who will pity the palace gate?" Gong Yuanzheng looked at the brides with a cold gaze. "As for these brides, death is their best fate. If anyone wants to blame someone, blame the assassin Wufeng who is hiding among them."

Seeing the cold eyes of the young man looking at them, the brides, who had been poisoned and whose arms had turned red due to the poison, hid together in fear and cried bitterly.

Unfortunately, the person who poisoned them had no mercy on them.

One of the staggering brides, named Yun Weishan, was pulled to the ground by the bride Shangguan Qian who had fallen to the ground. She cried to her fearfully that she didn't want to die.

Yun Weishan was surprised for a moment, but reacted very quickly and put away the hairpin that she was holding in her hand, preparing to subdue Gong Ziyu and force Gong Yuanzheng to give her the antidote.

She was stopped by Shangguan Qian, but another bride named Zheng Nanyiyi stumbled in panic and was helped up by Gong Ziyu. Then the woman looked at Gong Ziyu fiercely, grabbed Gong Ziyu's neck, and threatened Gong Yuanzheng to give her the antidote.

Gong Yuanzheng's attitude of not caring about the life of Gong Ziyu, who was held hostage by her, made Zheng Nanyi stunned.

It was during this moment of shock that Gong Yuanzheng's hidden weapon hit her knee joint. Zheng Nanyiyi, who was still struggling to death, was hit in the abdomen by Gong Huanyu who came rushing over. She hit her head against the wall and fainted. She was then dragged to the dungeon by two guards.

The assassin hiding among the brides was caught, and the other brides were cleared of suspicion. After taking the antidote, they were taken to the women's guesthouse to rest.

Because he attacked Gong Ziyu harshly and mercilessly, Gong Yuanzheng was beaten by Gong Huanyu. Gong Yuanzheng gave him a provocative smile in response to Gong Ziyu's angry eyes.

Such a loser actually dared to go to my sister. It's such an eyesore!

In the second half of the night, he heard the commotion outside the room. He took the Heart-Protecting Pill that Manager Jia had just delivered, and spread out on the table was the wound diagram that his brother had sent just after nightfall. Gong Yunzheng thought that the assassin who had sneaked into the bride, Wu Feng, had been caught.

But... Wu Feng will not put all his hopes on one person. If he is exposed in the open, he will be safer in secret.

No rush, she waited patiently.

If you are a fox, there will always be a moment when your tail is exposed.

As the morning mist dissipated, Nanny Fu was already accustomed to seeing the tall figure walking towards the ladies' quarters.

During the two days that the second young lady was staying here, didn't Mr. Zheng come here two or three times every day?

Unlike before, the boy stopped moving forward when he reached the door of the ladies' quarters. Instead, he turned around, put his hands behind his back, and waited outside.

Not daring to neglect it, Nanny Fu hurried out: "Master Zheng."

"Is my sister awake?" Gong Yuanzheng asked.

"She's up." Nanny Fu looked up at him and said cautiously, as if afraid he would get angry, "The Second Miss has already had breakfast."

"I know." Gong Yuanzheng was not angry. Instead, he said, "I'll wait here. Go tell my sister that I'm coming to find her."

After a moment of surprise, Nanny Fu suddenly understood why the young man stopped in front of the courtyard gate.

Now that the bride-to-be has moved into the women's guesthouse, although Mr. Zheng is not yet an adult, he knows how to be cautious about the differences between men and women, so naturally he will not be able to come in and out as freely as before.

"Wait," Gong Yuanzheng called out to Nanny Fu as she was leaving, handing her the medicine bag. "Boil this medicine for Sister to take. After boiling, show me the residue first, then give it to Sister."

Aunt Fu: "Yes."

It was already late, and most of the brides who had stayed in the women's guest house last night had gotten up. Many of the brides in the yard looked curiously at the back of the young man standing at the door of the women's guest house.

"That... isn't that the guy who poisoned us last night?" Miss Song frowned as she looked at the young man's back. "What is he doing here?"

"He's here to see his sister, I think."

It was Jiang Lili who answered. Seeing that the brides around her were all looking at her, Jiang Lili pointed to the side room of the female guest house and said, "I heard from the maid this morning that the second young lady from the palace is staying in the female guest house temporarily."

"The young man who poisoned us last night is the Palace Master of Gongmen Zheng Palace and the younger brother of the Second Young Lady."

"The second young lady from the palace gate?" Another bride looked towards the side room curiously. All she could see were a few maids guarding the door. Thinking of the snub she received last night, she pouted and said, "She's quite arrogant."

As soon as the words fell, the bride who was complaining felt a chill on her body. She was startled and looked up, only to see that the young man who was across the yard from them had turned around at some point and was staring at her with cold eyes.

Even though they spoke without losing their voices, he could still hear them from such a distance?

She felt a chill in her heart when she was looked at, and she immediately lowered her head and dared not say anything.

The others also scattered in fear.

Retracting his gaze, Gong Yuanzheng sneered, "Shut up."

If these brides felt their tongues were redundant, he would be willing to help.

Shangguan Qian, who was standing on the second floor, watched the scene below. Her watery eyes looked towards the side room of the women's guest house, and an interested smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

Interesting, Gong Yuanzheng's weakness is really obvious.
