Chapter 792: Chapter 792: One Leaf Blinds the Eye! (Part 2)

He had already been itching for action, and couldn’t wait any longer!

“So, about the investigation matter…”

Lord Gan Senior quietly asked.

Yang Yikun hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively: “Lord Gan Senior, we should separate official business from personal relationships. As the mander holding the Empress’ Edict, I must follow certain protocols, right? However, you can rest assured that as your grandson-in-law, I will instruct my subordinates to tread lightly and try not to disturb the women in the mansion.”

Having said that, Lord Gan Senior couldn’t find anything else to say: “In that case, I shall rely on mander Yang.”

“No problem, no problem!”

Yang Yikun casually gave Lord Gan Senior a fist greeting and then eagerly went straight to Xihe Pavilion, where Gan Miaoruo was staying.

The left-behind Lord Gan Senior opened his mouth a few times but ultimately could only let out a long sigh.

Was it right or wrong to ally himself with the Empress?

He couldn’t even tell himself.

Inside Xihe Pavilion.

Liu Sisi was curiously looking around the basement, amazed by the furnishings. It didn’t look like a basement at all, and the room was adorned with beautiful antiques.

Gan Miaoruo proudly lifted her little head: “How do you like the decorations here? This is my private territory, and whenever I e across something I like, I’ll bring it here.”

After four years, Gan Miaoruo had grown into a lovely young lady, her childish face now tinged with a hint of melancholy.

“It’s indeed beautiful and enchanting. I appreciate you sharing such a beautiful place with me.”

Liu Sisi sincerely praised.

The three little ones seemed to know they were out of danger and were happily attacking the food nearby.

“So delicious! This day spent in the palace was awful and all we got for our troubles is a near brush with death!” Chou Chou plained while eating.

Gan Miaoruo nearby coincidentally heard and hurriedly asked: “Ah? What is… getting played?”

“That… is…”

Liu Sisi stammered, unsure how to explain.

“Miss, miss! mander Yang is heading towards Xihe Pavilion. We need to go up now,” Gan Miaoruo’s maid whispered from the cellar entrance.

“Understood, I’m ing!”

Gan Miaoruo hastily replied and then happily patted Liu Sisi: “You can relax and stay here. I’ll handle Yang Yikun and make him cry for his mom and dad. Just wait and see!”

After saying that, she didn’t wait for Liu Sisi’s reply and hurriedly climbed the stairs to the ground level. Soon, the stairway entrance was covered up.

Liu Sisi relaxed and looked around, then blew out the candles, leaving only one lit and covered it with two layers of gauze lampshades, emitting a faint radiance.

“Mom, we can’t see our food anymore.”

Niuniu was the first to object.

“Hush! Everyone, don’t talk or eat from now on, just listen to me.”

Liu Sisi sat down beside the three children and hugged them: “The bad guy who wants to kill us is right outside the door, so let’s try not to make any noise so they don’t discover us, understand?”

The three children obediently put down their bowls and all gathered beside Liu Sisi, sitting down quietly.

Liu Sisi looked at the three sensible children, sighing silently in her heart, and gently bed their hair: “If you’re sleepy, take a nap. When you wake up, the bad guys will be gone. Be good!”

All three little ones shook their heads, unable to sleep at such a moment.

Outside Xihe Pavilion.

“Where is your miss? Is she in the room?”

“Yes, the miss is in the room waiting for mander Yang.”

In front of the dressing mirror, Gan Miaoruo was nonchalantly bing her long hair. She turned a deaf ear to the servants’ report outside the door, still maintaining a pretty face.

Since she had known Yang Yikun, she had never smiled at him, let alone treated him well.

Perhaps because of this, Yang Yikun clung to her desperately, plus the Empress’s matchmaking, Lord Gan Senior weighed the pros and cons and agreed to the marriage. Upon learning the bad news for the first time, Gan Miaoruo cried out in pain.

Unable to marry the person she loves in her heart, who would she marry anyway? In the following days, she naturally treated Yang Yikun with sarcasm and disdain, but he remained indifferent. The more she scowled, the more he cherished her, causing Gan Miaoruo to hate him deeply.

“Miss Gan, Ruo Ruo, it’s me, may I e in?”

At the doorway, Yang Yikun politely asked, his eyes locked on Gan Miaoruo’s face.

At the moment, seeing Yang Yikun, the anger in her heart flared up again, causing her to let out a heavy snort from her nose.

“Sorry, men and women shouldn’t touch! mander Yang, you’d better stay outside the door! Xiaohe, offer him a seat!”

There’s actually a seat?

Overjoyed at the unprecedentedly good treatment, Yang Yikun retracted the left foot he was about to step over the threshold.

“Thank you for the seat, Miss.”

Yang Yikun hurriedly sat down, lifting the hem of his robe, and then gazed into the room. Through the bead curtain, he looked at Gan Miaoruo sitting at the dressing mirror. Gazing at that stunning face, a wicked fire rose in his heart.

This Gan Miaoruo was being more and more beautiful! He was eager to pluck this delicate flower as soon as possible!

But he knew that haste wouldn’t help him get hot tofu.

Gan Miaoruo was not an ordinary daughter of a household, he had to slowly capture her heart, step by step, watching her sink under his embrace, and that sense of conquest is what he craved!

“Ruo Ruo, it’s so late today. Why haven’t you rested yet? Lord Gan meant you were working on your dowry. Just don’t overwork yourself.”

” Does it look like I’m working on a dowry? Or are you saying your mander’s Mansion can’t afford even a dowry, and I, the Miss, must make it myself?”

Gan Miaoruo didn’t leave any face in her speech.

Yang Yikun was unruffled: “If you really don’t want to do it, don’t. Tomorrow I’ll invite the best embroiderer in the country to specially make the most gorgeous, most beautiful wedding dress for you. I guarantee you’ll be the most beautiful at the wedding!”

“Thank you, but what this Miss likes to wear are regular clothes. So you keep those for your own enjoyment!”

Gan Miaoruo looked up at the sky: “It’s getting late, this Miss is sleepy too. You should go back and rest early, and stop bothering us like this. Even if you’re not tired, the people of Gan Estate are. Xiaohe, see him off!”

“You…”

No matter how thick-skinned mander Yang was, Gan Miaoruo’s lecturing tone stung him! He reached out and pulled the bead curtain right away, strode up the two steps and directly stepped into Gan Miaoruo’s boudoir.
