The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

Shangguan Hongwei was confused. His own niece was beating up his son and demanding that he leave, saying that Bai Xiaowan was in danger at Jiuwan's place. What was going on?

Before he could even understand what was happening, he was already stunned by what was taking place.

Shangguan Hanque dodged Jian Yue's curved blade, but not the steel needles that circled around to his back. The needles pierced the back of his neck, and suddenly a black object spurted out of his mouth. The object fell to the ground and flew rapidly toward Shangguan Ting, who was closest to Shangguan Hanque. Jian Yue, with sharp eyes and quick hands, fired another row of steel needles, pinning the black object to the ground. Instantly, the black object made a hissing sound and then melted away.

At this moment, Jian Yue pulled Shangguan Ting to her side and said to Shangguan Hongwei, "Uncle, hurry up, you're fast on your feet, don't delay saving Xiaowan."

Shangguan Hongwei came to his senses and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Just then, Jia Banwen came in carrying Bai Xiaowan and said, "He's been infected with a Gu poison, and his mind has been controlled."

Jian Yue immediately looked towards his arms and saw that although Bai Xiaowan's face was pale, her eyes were clear. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where is Jiuwan?"

Jia Banwen shook his head: "Dead."

After he finished speaking, Bai Xiaowan burst into tears and said, "Jiuwan was so scary. Before I could even say anything when I got there, he suddenly pounced on me, and then something black came out of his mouth and started crawling on me. I was terrified, so I pulled out my dagger and stabbed it into his mouth. Then Jiuwan suddenly screamed and threw me out. Then Young Master Jia came and burned Jiuwan and those insects, and I was alright."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Ting swayed, looking at Shangguan Hanque with sorrow, and said, "What a misfortune for our family! What a misfortune for our family!"

Jian Yue looked at Shangguan Han Que and said, "It wasn't made by Qiu Lingyu."

At this moment, Shangguan Hanque suddenly smiled wickedly and looked at Jian Yue, saying, "Weren't you waiting for me to come looking for you? How come we're at each other's throats on our first meeting? I'm really disappointed."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue laughed and said, "This doesn't count as a meeting! After all, you're using my brother's body as a medium. This kind of insincere meeting is utterly disappointing to me. Do you really think I'll be threatened by you?"

As she spoke, Jian Yue had already sheathed her scimitar and said to Jia Banwen, "Xiao Wan needs her wound treated. Take her to apply the medicine. Oh, and while you're at it, get some realgar wine."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hanque suddenly moved, then said, "Do you think a mere bottle of realgar wine can save your brother?"

Jian Yue shrugged and said, "I don't know, but I find it extremely disgusting to meet you like this. At least this realgar wine will prevent you from speaking through my brother's body and kill the questioning Gu in his stomach."

Shangguan Hanque remained motionless for a long while, then took a step back and actually sat down in a chair, saying, "What a formidable girl, even more so than your sister."

Jian Yue said, "You flatter me. It's just that I've been used too much, which has made me a bit stubborn and disgusted. Since I can't do whatever I want, why not fight back? If you have something on your mind and want me to do things for you, you have to show sincerity. Do you really think I will be forced to obey because of such threats? You should know exactly what kind of people the Shangguan family are like."

Shangguan Hanque laughed loudly: "That's right, you're right. I like that temper. In that case, I'll give you a little gift. Besides the Questioning Gu, your cousin has another Gu worm in his stomach. You just need to cut open his wrist and use another person's blood as a catalyst to lure the Gu worm out. But be very careful, the Gu worm is very fast. If it gets into another person's body, there will be no chance to get it out. Tell me, isn't this a very sincere offer?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue suddenly chuckled and said, "Indeed, but I still hate it, so we'll postpone our meeting until after my brother has recovered."

Shangguan Hanque was immediately enraged, slamming his fist on the table and shouting, "Do you think this place can stop me?"

Jian Yue shook her head: "No, but I can be the one who draws the Gu."

Shangguan Hanque paused, and after a long while, he said, "As you wish."

After that, Shangguan Hanque stopped talking and making no move. Shangguan Hongwei wanted to step forward, but Jian Yue stopped him and said, "Uncle, I need to remove the Gu from my cousin. You should postpone it to avoid being hurt by the Gu worms."

Shangguan Hongwei frowned immediately and said, "No, didn't that person just say that this Gu worm needs another person's blood as a catalyst? That's why I came."

Jian Yue refused: "No, Uncle doesn't understand Gu worms, he can't avoid them at all."

Shangguan Hongwei retorted, "No need to say anything, I'll do it. He's my son, I have a responsibility."

Jian Yue couldn't stop it, so she had no choice but to disobey and agree. Just then, someone came in from outside and said, "I'll do it."

Jian Yue turned around, frowning: "How did you get up here?"

"It flew up."

As Bai Jianan spoke, he walked straight to Shangguan Hanque's side, reached out and cut a bloody mark on both of their wrists. Then, he put the two bloody marks together. Before long, bumps appeared on Shangguan Hanque's arm, slowly moving towards his wrist. Jian Yue immediately held her breath and said, "Be careful."

Bai Jianan suddenly smiled. Just as the Gu worm suddenly darted out to reach his wrist, he abruptly twisted his wrist. Caught off guard, the Gu worm missed its target and fell to the ground. Jian Yue quickly stepped forward and stomped on it, turning the Gu worm into blood.

Bai Jianan laughed and said, "Such a crude act is a waste of heavenly resources."

Jian Yue sneered: "How can a madman judge others?"

As he spoke, he ignored Bai Jianan and walked straight to Shangguan Hanque's side, pushing Bai Jianan aside. Just then, Jia Banwen came in and said, "The realgar wine has arrived."

Jian Yue took the wine jar and poured it all into Shangguan Hanque's mouth. She then inserted his wrist into the jar, which made Shangguan Hanque groan.

Jian Yue pressed down on Shangguan Hanque's hand, while Jia Banwen moved to the other side and pressed down on his body. Jian Yue asked, "How do you know one jar won't be enough?"

Jia Banwen said, "I don't know, I just felt that there was no harm in taking more, and there just happened to be two jars."

There are many snakes in the mountains, so realgar wine is always on hand, and this has come in very handy.

Shangguan Hanque's body began to convulse, then stopped after a while. He suddenly collapsed, and a pool of disgusting green liquid gushed from his mouth.

After he finished vomiting, Jia Banwen stepped forward and poured the realgar wine he had used to soak his hands down Shangguan Hanque's throat.

Jian Yue: ...

Everyone:...

After being forced to drink the liquid, Shangguan Hanque vomited again, then opened his eyes, his gaze filled with confusion.

"Where am I? What are you doing here?"

Jia Banwen helped him up without any pressure and said, "Riliangshan, congratulations, you're home."

After saying that, without waiting for him to continue speaking, she helped him walk outside and said, "I'll take him to rest first. It will probably take a long time for him to recover."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Hongwei quickly followed. Shangguan Ting glanced at Bai Jianan, who was standing beside Jian Yue and whose eyes had never left his granddaughter, sighed, and then left as well.

Jian Yue was about to leave when Bai Jianan stopped her.

He said, "You really don't want to look at me again?"

Jian Yue didn't turn around and coldly said, "What's wrong with taking a look? Fly into the mountains? Do you think I'd believe that? You've experienced Jia Banwen's formations firsthand. Tell me, who else in the mountains is on your side?"

Bai Jianan asked, "Want to know?"

Jian Yue rolled her eyes immediately: "Nonsense, you can plant people here, am I supposed to line the streets to welcome you? What am I supposed to do if your Qilin Pavilion attacks us one day?"

Bai Jianan frowned: "The Qilin Pavilion will absolutely not make a move against you."

“Can you believe what you say? You said it yourself that day, but Heli Hong still attacked me, didn’t he? Bai Jianan, I don’t believe you at all now, even though you just risked your life to remove the curse from my brother, I still don’t believe you.”

Bai Jianan remained silent. Jian Yue looked at his still bleeding wrist and said after a moment, "You should treat the wound on your hand, lest you lose too much blood here and Yan Xingzhi comes to me to question you again."

With that, Jian Yue left, and Bai Jianan followed after her after a moment of silence.

"I've come here for no other reason than to tell you that Murong Chuan has made his move. Murong Yu is dead, the Emperor is dead, and Murong Chuan is battling Heli Hong. Their Gu worms are rampant, and the capital has become a living hell."

Jian Yue turned around and said sarcastically, "What does this have to do with me? You people who are vying for the throne, have you ever cared about human life?"

Bai Jianan didn't follow her words to explain, but continued, "I've withdrawn all your people from the capital, including the Qilin Pavilion's business. I gave you this area of ​​business back then, so I'm sending the people who manage it to you. They're at the foot of the mountain. You can pick them up and use them as you see fit."

Jian Yue suddenly chuckled and said to Bai Jianan, "What is this? Your compensation to me? Fine, I'll use it, of course. Don't worry, he won't be treated unfairly here. You can go back now."

Bai Jianan shook his head and said, "The heir of Qingyan Marquis has already been killed by Gu worms in his mansion. Now I am nameless and have no status. The Qilin Pavilion is already under Yan Xingzhi's control. So, I beg you to take me in. Please, take me in! I will serve you like a slave."

Jian Yue was taken aback, and then she saw that Bai Jianan was no longer the silent person he had been just now, but instead, he was back to his old self, joking around with her and being shameless.

He leaned forward and hugged Jian Yue tightly, refusing to let go.

“I know you hate me. You can hit me, scold me, cut me with a knife or beat me with a stick, it’s all up to you, Yueyue, please forgive me? I know I’ve wronged you in so many ways. I will definitely change in the future and treat you well. If you say go west, I will never go east. If you say stand, I will never sit down. If you say don’t eat, I won’t pick up my chopsticks.”
