Yan Mingjue came back in the middle of the night, full of blood and energy.

Just now, he went to interrogate him personally.

Seeing him coming back, Zhou Shan hurried forward to report:

"Sir, Doctor Zhou has already seen it."

"Madam is not injured, but she may be a little frightened. He prescribed some tranquilizers, and Madam has taken them and is now resting."

"Madam's two maids were also treated. They only suffered minor skin injuries, but they were frightened."

Yan Mingjue nodded. He washed up and changed into dry clothes. He originally planned to rest in the study, but after thinking about it, he decided to go to Su Qingwan's yard.

The two older maids, Qinshu and Miaohua, were injured, and only the younger maids from the yard were guarding outside the door.

He waved his hand to let people leave, then gently pushed the door open and went in.

His movements were already very gentle, but he didn't expect that he still startled Su Qingwan.

"Who?"

Su Qingwan asked vigilantly.

The voice was clear, and it was obvious that he was not asleep yet.

Yan Mingjue pursed his lips and said:

"I!"

Hearing his voice, Su Qingwan relaxed completely.

Yan Mingjue turned on the light and saw Su Qingwan sitting at the head of the bed. "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"……Fear!"

Su Qingwan did not hide it.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw the scene of that group of people wanting to do something bad to her, then the scene of Qin Shu's tragic death in her previous life, and finally, the scene of Yan Mingjue chopping off those people's arms and legs.

These images kept spinning in her mind and she couldn't fall asleep.

Yan Mingjue looked down at her. His palm-sized face no longer had the usual rosy color, but was instead pale, with cold sweat on his forehead.

He also knew that he had scared her today.

He also lost his composure. When he got the news and rushed over, that was what he saw.

At that moment, he felt only anger filling his chest.

He only wanted to torture those people in the most cruel way, but he didn't expect Su Qingwan was still there.

This is good, she can also know that he is not a good person.

He and she had never been on the same page.

Thinking of this, he said calmly:

"You know you're scared?"

"Do you think those rumors outside are false?"

“I am such a person.”

"Now, do you see clearly?"

Su Qingwan was stunned when she heard this. She realized something and said:

"It's not you I'm afraid of."

"If it weren't for you, I would not have come back alive today."

Yan Ming never thought that he would hear these words. He was stunned.

He knew his cruelty, and that was how he quickly gained a foothold in Eagle Lodge.

His methods were so brutal that even those in the Eagle House who were used to seeing life and death were terrified.

Su Qingwan is the only person who has seen him fight but still says she is not afraid.

"Are you really not afraid?"

He stared into Su Qingwan's eyes and asked.

Their eyes met, Su Qingwan thought for a moment and said:

"There is still a little bit."

"But I'm not scared, I just feel a little disgusted."

Su Qingwan still felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of that scene, but she still forced herself to say jokingly:

"I'm afraid I won't be able to eat pig's trotters for a long time in the future."

Yan Mingjue: "..."

Yan Mingjue didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at this moment.

He looked at Su Qingwan, his lips moved, and after a long while he managed to utter:

"At times like this, you still want to eat."

Not sure if it was because of Yan Mingjue’s presence, but Su Qingwan felt that the fear in her heart had subsided a lot.

She asked about those people.

"What did you do with them?"

Yan Mingjue glanced at her:

"Of course, they are forced to live but cannot, and die but cannot."

"Did you have them tortured?"

Su Qingwan asked.

Only after she came back did she feel that there was something fishy about what happened today.

How dare a group of hooligans attack the official's wife under the emperor's feet? They don't seem to be seeking money, but rather they are specifically targeting her.
