Shuang Hua's entire body was drenched from the rain.

Wei Bai was the same, the two of them just received news that the young miss and her brother had fought until they wielded a knife in the rain, and quickly jumped over the wall, the courtyard was still as quiet, and there were no guards outside.

When the two of them entered the house, they saw that the lights in the room were dim.

Without even asking the people inside, Shuang Hua touched the door and slowly pushed it open.

Only a single candle flame was lit in the room, and Gu Mingyan, whose entire body was drenched in sweat, had just helped his brother change into a set of dry clothes. At the moment, he was covering a bed with brocade cloth, and it was as if he was seeing Shuang Hua walk in.

"Eldest Miss …" Shuang Hua asked curiously.

Wei Bai, who had entered with him, carefully closed the door and locked it.

After being called so simply, Gu Mingyan sat on the side of the bed and came back to his senses. He looked at her and asked with a slight smile: "Why is Big Sister Shuang Hua here?"

With that, she touched the knife next to her and wrapped it with a piece of cloth.

Shuang Hua hurried over, wanting to ask what exactly happened.

However, Gu Mingyan's eyes grew colder and colder. She used her free hand and raised it slightly, as if she was protecting Gu Xu behind her. Her eyes turned red, and her messy hair stuck to her face: "Wait."

Shuang Hua stopped in her tracks, only to see Gu Mingyan easily hiding the wrapped dagger under Gu Xu's pillow, sat down and gave a silent hand gesture, then stood up, some water droplets fell on the floor and hid inside the carpet, she went around the screen, brushed past Shuang Hua's shoulder, and pulled a chair to sit down.

Shuang Hua vaguely felt that the young miss was a little strange.

"Do you have shackles?" Gu Mingyan looked at her strangely.

"I haven't. Eldest Miss, what do you plan to do …"

"I just wanted to wait for him to wake up and have a good talk. Since Big Sister Shuang Hua doesn't have anything, then let's sit down and have a cup of hot tea." Gu Mingyan s expression remained indifferent as he poured her a cup of hot tea, and then looked at the sky outside: "But a while later, Qiu Fu's servant girls will be coming over. You guys should not leave now, I can't let them find Xu Er here either."

Wei Bai also felt that something was wrong with her expression and quickly spoke out before Shuang Hua could, "What happened between the First Miss and Young Master Gu Xu? The blade must be opposite of the blade. "

"When I talk to him, there won't be much else."

A hint of doubt flashed across Gu Mingyan's face, and immediately after, all that was left was a pool of stagnant water.

"Eldest Miss, are you alright?" Shuang Hua walked up to her and carefully sized her up before asking in a low voice, "Do you want to change your clothes?"

"No, I have to watch him."

Without raising his eyes, Gu Mingyan just took a sip of the hot water.

His body had been beaten stiff by the rain, and even his fingertips were trembling slightly from what had happened just now.

Gu Xu was actually pointing the blade at her, and what was even more ridiculous was that she did not even have a chance to defend herself.

Since she came back, acting had become a common occurrence. The more she wanted to control others, the more she had to deceive the people closest to her. She could not speak directly, nor could she speak too clearly.

However, this wasn't the first time he had been suspected by someone close to him.

Lowering her eyes, she did not hear a word Shuang Hua said, until she saw the person on the bed move his fingers slightly, and immediately got up, to the point where even Shuang Hua, who was beside her, did not realise it, and stumbled over to the side of the bed and sat down, staring straight at him.

How could she let Gu Xu leave?

She had to explain that she couldn't repeat the same mistake.

Unexpectedly, Shuang Hua was hit and staggered, and then immediately looked at Wei Bai suspiciously.

"What's going on?" Wei Bai mouthed in a simple manner, and was similarly baffled.

Gu Xu slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he woke up, Gu Mingyan had already used her blade of snow to press against his neck. Shuang Hua and Wei Bai both rushed forward and gasped — Are they sure Gu Xu made the first move!

Gu Xu's rationality returned to normal as he felt an ice-cold feeling under his chin. Looking at Gu Mingyan's eyes, he was also a little fearful — — Last time, he had also fainted like this.

"Listen to my explanation." Gu Mingyan's words carried a hint of pleading.

"You use a blade …"

"That's how you listen to me, isn't it?" Gu Mingyan carefully moved the snow blade away, she was even worried, and used one hand to hold onto the wrist of the blade wielding hand, suppressing the churning discomfort in her stomach, she tried her best to soften her voice and speak: "Don't make me angry, Xu'er."

"You're a liar." Gu Xu's eyes turned red.

His sister had actually pointed a knife at him.

"No, sister is not a liar." Gu Mingyan shook her head with a smile, barely stopping the trembling of her arms. She continued to speak, "The only way I can do that is to gain benefits and trust from aunt and father."

"You can have a hundred excuses, but all I want is one of elder sister's sincerity." Gu Xu's voice trembled as she held back her tears, but she still stubbornly stared at Gu Mingyan: "But big sister, you're using a blade now …"

"If I don't, you'll leave me! Let me have no chance to explain myself! "

Gu Mingyan suddenly shouted loudly, warm tears all smashing onto Gu Xu's face.

"I know you're worried about the rain. I'm worried about being alone in the Han Mansion. I also know that you are as intelligent as I am and that most people in this house are not to be trusted, but that cannot be me. " Gu Mingyan crazily lowered his head, looked at the fear in Gu Xu's eyes, and then stood up straight as if he was frightened, breathing heavily: "Xu'er, I take you as my little brother, I can give you anything you want, don't be afraid of me, Xu'er …"

The people who were crazy a moment ago immediately became submissive and didn't dare to raise their voices again.

Shuang Hua wanted to take a step forward to ask what exactly happened, but she was stopped by Wei Bai, "Big Miss seems to be abnormal."

The two of them stood silently at the side, while Gu Xu, who was obviously frightened, still looked at Wei Bai and Shuang Hua.

"Why are they here?"

"They're just worried that we might hurt each other." Gu Mingyan took a deep breath before continuing, "No one can hurt you."

"How do you prove it?" You can trade with the aunt for your own mother! You clearly know how auntie treated you and me before! "

Gu Xu shouted and was about to raise his body.

Gu Mingyan hurriedly withdrew his blade, but just as Gu Xu was about to push her down the bed, he easily grabbed his neck, preventing him from uttering any words that might come out of his mouth.

"Wait a bit more." Gu Mingyan pressed down on his shoulder with his other hand and fell asleep.

A few maidservants' voices sounded out from outside the door, "If Eldest Miss has any orders …"

"Leave the Hanshi Courtyard." Gu Mingyan scolded loudly, his face was pale white as he listened to the maidservants' submissive pleas, and then impatiently said, "Don't make me repeat myself a second time."

The three people in the room had never seen Gu Mingyan like this before.
