My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

Zi Lan, who was in front, seemed to have sensed the change in the aura of the person behind her. She trembled with fear, quickly got out of bed, and knelt on the ground to explain.

"Master, this slave girl didn't mean to seduce you, but..."

The moment he saw clearly that it was Zi Lan, Guo Yian was stunned as if he was struck by lightning!

Damn it, it was clearly me and Liu Qingqing, how come it became Zi Lan now?

I had clearly promised Liu Qingqing that I would never take a concubine before getting married, but now I have made such a mistake. When I think about proposing to the Zhou family soon, how should I explain to Liu Qingqing?

Just as Guo Yian's brain was working rapidly, thinking of a countermeasure, he suddenly heard footsteps outside.

Zi Lan seemed to sense something as well. She quickly stood up, put on her clothes, and tidied her appearance. She bit her lip and said,

"General, I will forget everything that happened just now. Just treat it as... just treat it as a dream. Don't worry, General!"

After Zi Lan finished speaking, she looked like she was suppressing her stubbornness, picked up her coat, turned around and hurried out of the house.

However, when the door was just opened, he saw Liu waiting outside, followed by several trusted maids.

"Husband... Madam!"

"I know I'm wrong. I'm guilty. Please spare my life, Madam!"

Zi Lan was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly knelt down in front of Liu.

I thought I would be punished, after all, seducing the master is a serious crime.

But unexpectedly, Liu personally stepped forward to help Zilan up, and said gently, "You have served the eldest master with great merit, what crime have you committed?"

Zilan: ???

Half an hour ago, Nanny He said that the eldest young master felt a little unwell after drinking and was resting in the guest room for a while, and asked her to add some tea for him.

Zi Lan didn't suspect anything, picked up the tea and went into the room where Guo Yian was.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the room, the eldest son hugged her from behind and began to kiss her forcefully. Zi Lan was horrified and struggled desperately, but the physical strength between men and women was huge, so how could she resist the strong Guo Yian?

Therefore, what happened afterwards was completely out of Zi Lan's control. She only remembered that she fainted during an extreme experience.

After waking up, what just happened happened.

At this time, Zilan couldn't help but recall the ambiguous expression on Nanny He's face when she asked her to come to the guest room to add water.

Sure enough, Zi Lan looked towards Nanny He, but saw that Nanny He gave her a look that told her to be patient.

Although Zi Lan was surprised and suspicious, she also knew that the reason why the lady did not punish her at this moment must be related to Nanny He.

At this time, Guo Yian had almost put on his clothes and walked out from the inner room with a curtain, his face not looking very good.

"Why is mother here?"

As a general, if he hasn't realized at this moment that he has been set up, then his life has been in vain.

The only thing that is certain is that this matter is closely related to my mother.

Therefore, when facing Liu, his expression was not good, and it could even be said that he was suppressing his anger.

Liu waved her hand and asked everyone to leave, leaving only Nanny He.

She began to persuade him earnestly, "An'er, don't blame me. This is because your sweetheart agreed to do this for me. As for Zilan, now that she is yours, I will make the decision to take her as a concubine and send her to your courtyard.

Now that you have someone close to you who will care about you and understand your well-being, you won't have to think about Liu Qinqin anymore."

Guo Yian's brows furrowed sharply, and a chilling coldness permeated his entire body. He asked word by word:

"Mother, do you mean that she agrees with you doing this?

If you hadn't forced her with your status, would she have done that?"

Guo Yian simply didn't believe that Liu Qingqing would leave him and push herself into the arms of another man.

His first reaction was that Liu Qingqing must have been forced by his mother.

Mrs. Liu didn't expect that even at this point, his stubborn son would still want to speak for Liu Qingqing.

It really pissed her off.

If she hadn't been sure that the person in front of her was her son, she would have suspected that he had been cursed.

"You...is this how I am, in your eyes, so overbearing and unreasonable?

Don't you think that if it weren't for Liu Qinqin's cooperation, you would have fallen for it so easily?"

Liu's last words were like a ray of light in the darkness, instantly illuminating and magnifying the doubts in Guo Yian's heart.

He suddenly thought of the cup of tea he had drunk in the pavilion, which was handed to him by Liu Qingqing herself.

After waking up, the fact that he had been unwilling to face was laid before him. Guo Yian's tall body couldn't help but take two steps back, and his honey-colored face suddenly lost all color.

"This is impossible. Qingqing has no reason to do this!"

In her haste, Mrs. Liu did not notice that Guo Yian said "Qingqing" instead of "Qinqin".

"If you don't believe me, she's still in the back garden. You can go confront her directly."

After saying this, Liu ordered someone to take Zilan away and left the yard without looking back.

Since the matter was settled, there was no need for her to linger here. She was not afraid that Guo Yian would confront Liu Qingqing, because if Liu Qingqing had any brains, she would know how to cooperate with her words.

Sure enough, when Guo Yian, with an anxious look on his face, found Liu Qingqing first, she was just about to come out of the back garden.

The moment Guo Yian saw Liu Qingqing, a hint of panic instinctively flashed in his eyes, and he didn't dare to look directly at Liu Qingqing in front of him.

Even at this moment, he had the urge to back out.

He was also afraid. What if things were really as his mother said, and there was really something wrong with the cup of tea, and it was served by Liu Qingqing herself? He didn't know how to face it.

"Qingqing, you..."

"Looking at the general's expression, I guess the matter has already been settled!" Liu Qingqing asked first.

Guo Yian suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Liu Qingqing in front of him with an incredible expression.

After a long while, he tried to calm down and asked through gritted teeth: "Why!"

"Am I not good enough to you?"

Why did it have to be you, and why did you drug yourself and send yourself to another woman's bed? How embarrassed is he?

Guo Yian clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged from excessive force.

The reason why Liu Qingqing chose to do this was that she already had a plan in mind.

She sighed softly, her brows furrowed, as if shrouded in heartbreak and sorrow. "General, do you think I'm willing to do this?"

She half-closed her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes, and looked as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Guo Yian's heart suddenly sank, and he hurriedly grabbed her shoulder and asked, "Did someone force you to do this? Tell me, and I will definitely help you deal with this person."

However, Liu Qingqing slowly shook her head and looked at Guo Yian with deep affection: "General, I will never be able to repay your kindness in this lifetime. It's just a trick of fate."

"Now that I've replaced Liu Qinqin as the daughter of the Liu family, the family's rise and fall depends entirely on me. General, you've seen the current situation. The Crown Prince is in decline, and the Sixth Prince is gaining popularity after the incident with the Chu envoy. Coupled with the support of the Wan family, the Wan and Guo families are now forming a countervailing force.

Although Qingqing is a woman with limited abilities, for the sake of my family and to better repay the general in the future, I have decided to enter the palace for the selection. In the future, I will fully assist the Queen and the Crown Prince and help the Crown Prince ascend to the throne."

hum!

Liu Qingqing's words struck Guo Yian's mind like a thunderbolt.
