The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

Just like last time, the central hall of the tower was lit up.

In the center of the hall sat the Imperial Preceptor Fan.

The overall atmosphere was just like when Yun Yuke raided this place at night last time.

Master Fan stood up and walked towards Yun Yuke and Wen Jiangyue.

"Red Rose, and who's the other one? Stop hiding. We're all old friends, why don't you come out and greet us?"

The direction that Grand Preceptor Fan was pointing clearly indicated that he knew the two were coming.

Yun Yuke and Wen Jiangyue exchanged a glance and made up their minds.

"As expected of you, you're still so perceptive."

Yun Yuke's tone was devoid of any emotion, coldly expressing her thoughts.

"As expected, your companion is indeed your good friend."

The Imperial Preceptor Fan pointed at Wen Jiangyue, "What's your name now?"

Wen Jiangyue looked coldly at the Imperial Preceptor Fan, "My name should have no meaning to a dignified Imperial Preceptor, right?"

Master Fan's tone was full of arrogance.

"Heh. I knew it. If you didn't want to say it, fine. But Crimson Rose is quite resourceful."

"How could the mighty Crimson Rose be defeated by a single blow from me? However, I really didn't expect that you had prepared a fake corpse in advance. If I hadn't been careful, I would have been fooled by you."

Master Fan's tone was slightly helpless, "Sigh, you know, we're all good friends. If you were on my side, and you and your spouse were on my side too, wouldn't the world be in our hands? Why would you need to be so busy?"

As Master Fan spoke, he waved his hand, and the oil lamps around the entire hall lit up.

Meanwhile, the walls on all four sides were covered with crossbows ready to fire, aimed directly at Yun Yuke and Wen Jiangyue.

"What do you mean by this?" Yun Yuke asked.

"Don't be nervous, Ms. Yun Yuke, the owner of Crimson Rose Cloud," Fan Guoshi said calmly, "Although I've met many people in my life, I still love you the most!"

Master Fan looked at Yun Yuke with an expression of admiration.

However, the other party noticed something that made him feel a chill.

"Please, please stop talking. I feel like throwing up what I just ate. I don't like you at all, not in the past, not now."

When Master Fan heard this, he didn't feel that he was being challenged.

"Boss Yun really doesn't give me any face at all. In that case, how am I supposed to continue the conversation?"

Pretending to hesitate, Fan Guoshi tilted his head and hesitated for a moment before clapping his hands.

"Then, Mr. Yun, would you like to take a look at this?"

As they clapped, a huge white cloth was suddenly lowered behind Master Fan.

"There's no need for projection screens in this era, so let's start with a white cloth for demonstration. Mr. Yun, look who this is."

On the huge white screen behind Master Fan, an image of a person was projected.

"Boss Yun, you're not going to tell me you don't know this girl, are you?"

The image on the screen shows Yun Qingjin, who has been drugged.

Upon seeing this scene, Yun Yuke clenched her fists, let out a soft sigh, and then screamed loudly.

"This is?!"

"It seems you know him," said Master Fan in a soft voice.

"I don't know him. What do you want?"

"Don't rush, let me recall for Boss Yun."

Master Fan circled around a few times, like a student reciting a text, and slowly revealed the information he knew.

"Yun Qingjin, the young manager of Yunji Shop. At such a young age, she is already in charge of the business of the Chunru Chujian branch of Yunji Shop. She was adopted by you in the first year of your reign."

"What, you don't remember? Your memory isn't that bad."

Ignoring the silent Yun Yuke, the Imperial Preceptor Fan continued to recount what he knew.

"Let me think... Oh, and I remember your adoption paperwork was done in Xin'an City, right? You suddenly had a daughter out of nowhere, which made a lot of people very curious. You've never been married, so why did you suddenly bring back a child? At the time, Magistrate Sun of Xin'an City didn't investigate much and just registered the child's household registration."

"How about it, Mr. Yun? Let me help you recall some more."

Master Fan stared intently at Yun Yuke.

"Oh, I think there's more. You treat her as the heir to your Yun family business, right? You bring her along specifically for business in the capital, and she even organized your fake funeral."

The Grand Preceptor Fan remained calm, as if he had thought of something else. "Oh, right, there's one more important thing. This girl's identity is not simple. I originally thought she was an orphan you picked up, but I never expected that she would actually be the biological daughter of the Marquis of Changxing and his wife, who are meritorious officials of this dynasty."

Master Fan's tone couldn't hide his smugness.

"Thanks to Marquis Changxing, he has been a great help to my teacher. Without his strong support, I would not have been able to hold this bargaining chip in my hands."

Master Fan clapped his hands with a smile, "Old Xie, come out and meet Boss Yun! He's been raising your child for over ten years!"

Two people emerged from behind the white curtain: Marquis Xie Changyuan of Changxing and his wife Su Ru.

"Both of you are here. Come, let me introduce you. This is Ms. Yun, the one who adopted your daughter and raised her to be the person she is today. Quickly, thank your benefactor!"

Xie Changyuan's expression remained relatively calm, and he didn't say much, only bowing to Yun Yuke in greeting.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Yun, for adopting my daughter. My husband and I will see her again someday."

Xie Changyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, I am grateful for your logistical support in the battle to recapture Wuluo. At that time, you did not directly accept the imperial reward, but remained anonymous. I have always followed your wishes and have not revealed it to anyone."

"Oh?" It seemed that this was also the first time that Master Fan had heard of this.

"I never expected that my good friend Crimson Rose would be the secret benefactor?"

"Reporting to the Imperial Preceptor, it is like this: Boss Yun was the benefactor back then."

Xie Changyuan continued, "I saw your daughter with you at the border back then, I never expected..."

Xie Changyuan said solemnly, "Regardless of our stance, my wife and I are truly grateful to you for saving our daughter's life."

Lady Hou, Su Ru, standing to the side, pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Boss Yun, please, please save Xiao Jin."

"Madam, be careful what you say," Xie Changyuan stopped his wife.

Lady Hou composed herself, lowered her head, and tried not to let anyone see the tears streaming down her face.

"Madam Hou, your daughter's life is now in Boss Yun's hands. You must beg Boss Yun for help."

Although the Grand Preceptor Fan was looking at the silent Lady Hou with her head down, he was actually speaking to Yun Yuke, who was standing to the side.

“If Boss Yun doesn’t surrender, if he doesn’t stay obediently in my courtyard and serve as my tea-serving maid while I reach the pinnacle of my life, I will imprison you and your good daughter.”
