Xiao Wen's pupils trembled violently, and there was no trace of color on her face.

She just looked at Xiao Guozhang blankly.

She clenched her fists tightly, choked with sobs and cried: "Father, do you really have the heart to watch me die?"

Xiao Guozhang didn't look at her again, showing no kindness or tolerance at all.

"If you're a loser, you'll die if you die. What's the point of not bearing it?"

He turned around and left, not caring whether Xiao Wen would die or not.

Xiao Wen was extremely heartbroken. She looked at Xiao Guozhang's leaving figure with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were fierce and she yelled at his back.

"Father...I don't believe you would have the heart to watch me die."

The next moment, she turned towards the pillar behind and bumped into it hard.

There was only a bang and blood splattered everywhere.

The housekeeper exclaimed and quickly hugged Xiao Wen's waist, weakening some of the force of the impact: "Oh, fifth girl, what are you doing?"

"You don't want your life?"

There was a big hole in Xiao Wen's head, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

She collapsed in the butler's arms and looked at Xiao Guozhang standing in the distance with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Guozhang turned his head and glanced at her with extremely cold eyebrows.

"I used to think you were innocent and cute, but I didn't expect you to be as stupid as a pig. Raising a fool like you is a waste of food from my Xiao family. If you still want to die, I can send you to you." You're on your way..."

Xiao Wen was completely shocked, and her eyes gradually filled with fear.

Her body couldn't help but tremble.

"Father...no, don't."

She could see clearly that there was clear murderous intent in her father's eyes.

Her father wanted to kill herself.

This feeling made her hair stand on end.

Only then did she realize that she had unknowingly touched her father's penis.

Her father is abandoning her.

A chess piece without any value, her father would never tolerate her again.

Xiao Wen gasped rapidly. She pushed away the housekeeper's support and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Father...Father, my daughter knows she was wrong. Please don't be angry. Please forgive your daughter. My daughter will never dare to do it again." I disobeyed you..."

Xiao Guozhang ignored Xiao Wen. He turned to look at the housekeeper and gave instructions in a deep voice.

"Lock her up and don't allow anyone to let her out without my permission. After a month, we'll be ready to get her married."

Xiao Wen felt dizzy and fainted.

The housekeeper did not dare to delay for fear of making the father-in-law angry.

He quickly asked two women to carry Xiao Wen down, and then had others quickly clean up the blood stains in the study.

Zhou Qingyan watched this scene from the side, and she couldn't help but feel chills running down her spine.

Only then could I really feel the cold blood seeping out of Xiao Guozhang's bones...

Xiao Guozhang's originally cold expression immediately became gentle when he looked at Zhou Qingyan.

"Did the scene just now scare you?"

"Don't be afraid. If you don't touch my bottom line, I will definitely not be willing to do this to you."

"Qingyan, you shouldn't be as stupid as Xiao Wen and don't know your own value, right?"

"People still need to be self-aware."

Zhou Qingyan's face turned pale, and she nodded very cautiously: "Father, don't worry, I...I won't disobey you."

"I will do whatever you tell me to do. I will never betray you."

Only then did Xiao Guozhang sweep away the gloom just now.

"By the way, do you know the name of the knight who saved you? Where does he live?"

Zhou Qingyan carefully replied in a low voice: "He said that his name is Luan Yun, he is a member of the Jianghu community, and he has no fixed address now. He didn't tell me where he lives. I don't know, father, what you mean... "

Xiao Guozhang told Zhou Qingyan not to be nervous: "I just pay more attention to talents. Since that person has the ability to rescue you from the sea of ​​fire without any damage, I guess his martial arts must not be weak."

"If I can recruit him to join the Xiao family, wouldn't it be even more powerful? Besides, he saved your life, and you are my daughter. As a father, I must show my kindness in return for his help. That’s the grace.”

Zhou Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, and the young master's appearance suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Father, although I don't know where he lives, I remember what he looks like. If my foster father really wants to recruit him, then I will draw his portrait, and you will send someone to look for him in Kyoto with the portrait. , I think we’ll be able to find that person soon.”

She also wanted to repay Master Luan for saving her life.

If Mr. Luan can really come under the command of the father-in-law, he will be able to display his talents and gain a bright and bright future.

Xiao Guozhang looked at Zhou Qingyan with great admiration: "Qingyan, I like your intelligence very much. You have already guessed my thoughts before I said anything."

"You are much smarter than my little daughter. I made a very right choice by choosing you to participate in the draft. I believe that in the near future, you will definitely have another destiny..."

Zhou Qingyan tugged her lips and pretended to smile in anticipation.

In fact, her heart is extremely plain.

If she had a choice, she didn't want to participate in the draft and get involved in royal disputes.

Once she enters the palace, she may not know how she will die in the future.

Xiao Guozhang just used her as a pawn.

She's just a chess piece, does he care about her life or death?

Everything now is just him tempting her, inflating her ambitions, making her willing to be driven by him.

——

Early the next morning, everyone knew about Yun Luan's portrait.

When Emperor Liang Yu returned from the palace, he frowned slightly when he saw the missing persons notices posted on the street walls. He asked someone to remove one of the missing persons notices and take it back to the Prince's Mansion.

He went directly to Yun Luan and placed the missing person notice in front of her.

"Yunluan, what's going on? Zhang Guozhang is looking for you?"

Yun Luan raised her eyebrows. She picked up the paper and read it carefully.

Then, she pursed her lips and laughed softly.

"Yes, Zhang Guozhang is looking for me."

She had already expected this result.

It was precisely because of this purpose that she went to rescue Zhou Qingyan.

Xiao Tingyan didn't look very good, and took away the missing person notice: "A Luan, I don't agree, you go to Xiao's house to lurk."

"Your behavior is very risky."

Liang Yuhuang looked at them in confusion: "Why is Xiao Guozhang looking for Yun Luan? First tell me what happened yesterday?"

Yun Luan carefully looked at Xiao Tingyan's livid face and coughed in a low voice.

Then, he told Liang Yuhuang everything that happened in the restaurant yesterday.
