Splendid Twins

Wei didn't know that what she said had aroused the suspicion of the Duke of Zhenguo, who began to send people to investigate her and ordered the secret guards to investigate every detail.

When Zhou Wan returned to the mansion, she happened to meet the Duke of Zhenguo and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Father, are you going out?"

"Where have you been?"

The father and daughter spoke at the same time. Zhou Wan, facing the Duke of Zhenguo's instinctive timidity, lowered her head and replied:

"Go out for a walk."

The Duke of Zhenguo narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Wan, who was dressed in jewels, with a slightly cold tone:

"It's a mess out there, learn more from your mother."

Zhou Wan got mad when she heard that. It sounded nice to ask her to learn something, but that was just to detain her and not let her go out!

"Yes!"

The Duke of Zhenguo knew she didn't listen just by the sound of her voice, so he spoke again in a calm voice:

"Your father has already found a marriage for you. The other party has a clean background and is quite talented. When your brother gets married, you can marry him and live a good life..."

"Does father dislike his daughter? Is there no room for me in the mansion? No matter what I say or do, it's wrong. I know they laugh at me behind my back for being vulgar and ignorant of etiquette, but this is not my fault!"

When Zhou Wan heard that she had no control over her marriage, she completely exploded and cried and yelled at the Duke of Zhenguo. Her crying attracted servants in groups of three or four, and when they saw that it was the father and daughter, they tiptoed out quietly.

"So you've made up your mind to make your own decision?"

The Duke of Zhenguo looked displeased. It was precisely because he knew that she was innocent that he turned a blind eye to his wife's doting. With such a frivolous mind, how could he shoulder the responsibility of being the head wife of the clan in the future?

It would be better for her to find a small family. With the support of the Duke's Mansion, she will always have no worries about food and clothing and live a safe and smooth life.

"My daughter didn't mean that."

Zhou Wan lowered her eyes to show weakness, but in fact she was already afraid in her heart. She didn't dare to lose her temper because her father always kept his word. She had lost her mind by saying something offensive just now, and if she continued to speak without restraint, she would definitely suffer the consequences!

"From now on, you don't have to come to the study to make tea for me!"

The tone of the Duke of Zhenguo was cold and hard. No one had ever dared to yell at him. Such an unruly act would waste his careful planning.

Zhou Wan was so angry that she almost fainted when she heard this. She seemed to have the title of the eldest daughter in the mansion and was followed by maids and old women. But in fact, everyone was kind to her because of her father's power. If she lost her father's favor, how could she have a place in the mansion?

"Father, I know I was wrong..."

After the Duke of Zhenguo finished speaking, he turned and left, deliberately trying to temper Zhou Wan's temper. Other things would have been fine, but he disdained to mix power and interests in his children's marriages. In life, the person by your side must be the one you love and who you love.

She is so delusional that she wants to get close to the royal family, but how could such a good thing happen to her? Those who put imperial power above all else all weigh the pros and cons and seek to maximize their benefits. With her brain, she was deceived and sold out without even realizing it!

Zhou Wan, who stayed where she was, felt extremely aggrieved. Her tears streamed down her cheeks and fell to the ground, one drop at a time. There was a strong hatred in her eyes. She still insisted on becoming the Princess of Li!

No matter how powerful and majestic you are, can it be greater than the royal family?

One day, she will sit on a high seat and watch these people salute her respectfully!

As she flicked her sleeves, the note she had put in her sleeves fell to the ground unexpectedly. She left without knowing it and was noticed by Zhou Ying who came to watch the fun.

After everyone left, Zhou Ying walked forward and picked it up carefully. She didn't recognize any of the words on it. Even she couldn't understand it, so how could that peasant recognize it?

Zhou Ying put it away calmly, returned to her boudoir, took it out and studied it carefully, then found an excuse to ask her maid to go to the bookstore and buy some foreign books. She wanted to see what Zhou Wan was doing!

The whole family is waiting for Zhou Yu to come back and get married, but unfortunately, his whereabouts are unknown!

Si Yao didn't get any news in Zigui Town. After packing up her things, she took a detour to Fenglei Pass. Gou Huan behind her kept talking all the way:

"Si Yao, where are we going?"

"Are you here looking for someone?"

"Male and female?"

"Sweetheart or close friend?"

Si Yao couldn't stand it any longer:

"Shut up!"

"Oh."

Gou Huan was very obedient and stopped talking. He always knew how to handle things as they came to him. All the bags on his body, big and small, were his own things. Si Yao just led the horse and walked in front.

The sun was about to set, and they hadn't found a place to stay yet. Si Yao let out a long sigh:

"Can you accept sleeping in the mountains at night?"

Gou Huan was not surprised at all: "If you, a girl, can sleep with me, of course I have no problem with that."

Si Yao nodded:

"Then let's go."

Comparing the map he bought from the stall, Si Yao couldn't tell which entrance was which forest. He lost his patience and directly clicked on the navigation of the space system.

"After passing through this forest, you will reach the most dangerous dense forest in Fenglei Pass. It is always gloomy and terrifying there. Si Yao, aren't you afraid?"

Gou Huan was very interested in Si Yao and tried to find out about her situation in a roundabout way along the way, but she didn't fall for it.

"What to eat?"

Si Yao spoke directly and took out an oil-paper bag from his saddle bag, along with two candies.

"sugar."

Si Yao threw it to him and gnawed on a piece of pork elbow. She had not had a peaceful meal during the entire journey.

"So sweet..."

Gou Huan narrowed his eyes and sighed, as if he had never eaten it before.

Si Yao deliberately asked:

"Are you living in such a tight spot?"

Gou Huan chewed the hard candy and smacked his lips:

"Other people's things are always the best."

Si Yao raised her eyebrows:

"You'll get beaten easily if you do this."

The two chatted intermittently, and the situation became quiet as they entered the woods. No bird song could be heard in the rustling forest. There were footprints of huge animals on the ground, and blood was splattered on the tree trunks. All signs indicated that a fight had just taken place here.

"Hey, Si Yao, if there's any danger later, don't worry about me, just run out."

Gou Huan suddenly became serious, and Si Yao glared at him:

"Don't worry, you don't have to tell me."

"You are so cold. At least we still have the affection for each other..."

Before Gou Huan could finish his words, a gust of wind blew towards them. Si Yao quickly pushed Gou Huan away and looked forward with sharp eyes. An extremely aggressive black bear attacked them again.

Si Yao had to dodge repeatedly and keep paying attention to Gou Huan, and was a little flustered for a moment.

"We can have fresh meat tonight."

"Be careful, don't become a snack yourself!"

Gou Huan chuckled disapprovingly:

"Si Yao, you underestimate me."

As he said this, he faced the black bear directly, and a sharp dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. The black bear, which was eating, was disturbed by the smell of a stranger and started to attack directly in anger.

Si Yao dodged back and forth flexibly, and also tried to test Gou Huan's strength.
