Tang Feng was still thinking about how to get close to Qin Xiaowan, but unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Yanliu Pavilion, Menger and Baoer walked up to him. The two maidservants looked at Tang Feng timidly and said: "Young Master Feng, Elder Sister Xiaowan is waiting for you."

  Tang Fengs eyebrows rose involuntarily as a phrase flashed into his mind.

  There is a road in heaven but you dont take it, there is no gate in hell but you still rush in!

  These past few days, Tang Fengs changes have been seen by Meng Er and Bao Er, and they are beautiful in their hearts. Although the assassination incident that day was ordered not to be discussed by the Tian Xiu high-level authorities, through Lin Ruo Yu and Tang Fengs conversation, the two girls who were gentle on the outside but strong on the inside could more or less guess some things.

  Moreover, Qin Xiaowen usually doesnt put on a false front with Tang Feng, but today she actually brought a pile of gifts to visit him. This is really out of the ordinary and must be some kind of evil omen. So Meng Er and Bao Er are both worried about Tang Feng.

  "Alright, you guys go ahead." Tang Feng nodded and said.

  Baoer still wasnt at ease: "Do you want me and Menger to accompany you?"

  Tang Feng smiled brightly: "No need! She must have come to apologize to me today. With all of you present, she might not be able to swallow her pride."

  "Oh." Baoer nodded.

  Menger waved her small fist on the side and said, "Feng Shao, dont be afraid. If theres any movement, just shout loudly, and Baoer and I will rush over immediately!"

  "Tang Feng nodded solemnly: Good idea, then you guys protect me from a distance."

  The two girls ran happily to one side.

  Tang Feng slightly adjusted his clothes and walked briskly towards the inner courtyard. In the yard, Qin Xiaowens slender figure seemed particularly cool, having lost weight in just a few days, she looked like she had shrunk a size, now standing there with a somewhat dispirited look.

  Hearing the movement behind her, Qin Xiaowen turned around and saw Tang Fengs stunningly handsome face, she was stunned for a moment before hesitantly asking: "Tang Feng?"

  Although Ive heard from other senior sisters how much Tang Feng has changed, hearing is believing but seeing is true. Rumors are nothing compared to the shock of seeing it with my own eyes.

  "Little sister Wan, its been a few days since we last met, you cant have forgotten what I look like, can you?" Tang Feng chuckled and pulled over the armchair beside him, sitting down with an air of self-satisfaction.

  Qin Xiaowan looked up and down at Tang Feng, and it wasnt until after a while that she confirmed the person in front of her was indeed Tang Feng. She couldnt help but let out a bitter laugh: "How did you change so much?"

  "I was always like this, I just never showed my true face to anyone before." Tang Feng reached out and picked a grape from the stone table beside him, tossing it into his mouth with relish.

  Qin Xiaowen stood beside him, not knowing what to do, extremely embarrassed. This time at the Smoke Willow Pavilion, Qin Xiaowen had come under orders from her master to apologize to Tang Feng for the assassination attempt. According to Yi Ruochens intention, this matter should be downplayed as much as possible. The person who could decide the final outcome was clearly Tang Feng, the victim.

  As long as he says he wont pursue it anymore, then this matter will be settled. So Yi Ruochen had instructed Qin Xiaowan to apologize sincerely to Tang Feng this time and make him not pursue the matter again.

  Qin Xiaowen bit her lip, clenched her fists, and her slender body trembled violently.

  Tang Feng couldnt help but sneer at what he saw, and even the words "Im sorry" felt embarrassing to say out loud. Was this really an apologetic attitude?

  After a long time, Qin Xiaowen seemed to have made up her mind, suddenly turned around and faced Tang Feng: "Tang Feng, I came this time to apologize to you. That night, I shouldnt have done such a thing, nor should I have confused right and wrong in front of the elders. Please forgive me once for the sake of our growing up together."

  Tang Feng spat out the grape skin and let out a sigh, saying: "You also know that we grew up together. At least theres over a decade of friendship between us. Even if the old Tang Feng was annoying and useless, he was still a living being! Even if it were an inanimate object, after spending so many years together, wouldnt you have some feelings for it? How did it become the foundation for pursuing happiness once it fell into your hands?"

  Qin Xiaowen burst into tears, her shoulders shaking constantly: "Tang Feng, its me who wronged you, I was also momentarily possessed by a demon! These past few days, Ive been having nightmares every day, dreaming that I really killed you. I dont understand why I actually raised my hand against you that day either."

  "Apologies are useless." Tang Feng said calmly, "Im lucky to be alive and not dead at your hands, so you dont need to come here and pretend to be pitiful. Leave!"

  "Tang Feng..." Qin Xiaowei burst into tears, "Will you tell that secret?"

  "What secret?" Tang Feng was taken aback, then immediately came to his senses, his eyes glancing at Qin Xiaowens belly.

  Qin Xiaowen also involuntarily reached out and touched her own abdomen.

  "Dont worry! Since I didnt say anything that day, I wont say it in the future either." Tang Feng sneered, "However, theres no wall that doesnt leak wind. At most, in another month, your secret wont be a secret anymore. I advise you to make arrangements early. That person with the surname Liu is not a good person."

  "Thank you, Tang Feng. As long as you dont tell anyone, Ill find a way to persuade Master to agree to my marriage with the Liu family." Qin Xiaowei was overjoyed and tearful, she really didnt expect Tang Feng to be so easy-going this time. Although Tang Feng had never given her a good face from start to finish, Qin Xiaowei knew that his words meant he would no longer hold her responsible.

  "Infatuated!" Tang Feng shook his head. They say that a woman in love is blind, and this statement isnt false at all.

  Qin Xiaowen dared to take action against herself that night, and Liu Yuans instigation was definitely one of the reasons. It is also possible that she was drugged and lost her mind, otherwise with her timid nature how could she dare to kill someone?

  Since Liu Yuan had the "Enter Sorrow Intestine" poison, he might have other drugs as well! In Tang Fengs mind, there were at least a dozen or so medicines that could temporarily affect someones mental state.

  Farewell to Tang Feng, Qin Xiaowans gloom on her face was swept away, and a beautiful picture of future happiness was drawn in her heart. Just as she had just walked out of the Smoke Willow Pavilion, she suddenly felt a wisp of breath coming from the side, Qin Xiaowan turned her body sideways, stretched out two fingers, and pinched the thing that was attacking her between her hands.

  It was actually a sealed paper tube. Qin Xiaowen looked around, but there was no one else present. She turned her head back to see Tang Feng still sitting in the armchair, holding a bunch of grapes and eating them with relish.

  Qin Xiaoyan stretched out her hand to open the paper tube, took a look at the big characters on it, and was overjoyed.

  This was actually a message from Liu Yuan asking her to meet up at night, but its unknown who Liu Yuan had bribed, as he could even get the message delivered within the palace.

  Watching Qin Xiaoweis back disappear, Tang Feng finally put down the grapes he hadnt finished eating. Just now, he had used a unique technique to shoot the paper tube out, bending it several times in mid-air before it landed in Qin Xiaoweis hand. Even if Qin Xiaowei was extremely intelligent, she probably wouldnt suspect him.
