CHAPTER 26

"Master, why do you want to do this?"

The one speaking was a male that was about forty-years-old. But what was strange about him was that he seemed to be abnormally short, at most, he seemed to only be about one meter tall. But, his face seemed to be covered by a black cloth, covering his facial features. His voice sounded like it had been burned by a flatiron, it was dull and monotonous. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ear, in modern times, it would be as if a tractor had crushed it, it caused people to feel annoyed when hearing it. If one closely paid attention, they would discover that his face under the veil was riddled with wounds, causing him to look fierce and sinister.

Dangerously narrowing his eyes, Lan Sheng Ling looked down upon him and said, "Does this one's decisions need you to call them into question? You only need to do your part in this one's arranged plans, this one has a final conclusion for the rest!"

The short male was quite for a long while, seemingly to be trying to calm himself down, at all costs. After a moment, he finally opened his mouth and said with a hoarse voice, "Subordinate knows."

Languidly laying to the side of the desk, Lan Sheng Ling gracefully thumbed through a book. Towards the male, he let him leave. "Withdraw. Regarding this one's plan, you have to perform properly, don't make any mistakes!"

"Subordinate understands!"

Gan Ya's unpleasant voice finally faded from the room, but the faint smell of scheming didn't leave, instead it lingered for a long time.

In Matchless Garden, after tightly closing the door, Gu Weiyi buried herself in the quilt, her heart was pounding. Fear, concern, restlessness, and anxiety all coiled together in her heart, throwing her mind into chaos. What could be done? Gege already knew where she was, they only needed to rush over. But, she couldn't feel happy. Because this place had long since been a trap, all that needed to happen was for them to come before the attack was set off. Gegewould certainly be concerned about her safety, when they came, they would be extremely eager and their guard would be low. During that time, adding onto that fact was she she was in their opponents hands. With her as a bargaining chip, gege wouldn't dare to act blindly. How could this sort of situation not be to passively take a thrashing. What a good Lan Sheng Ling, ninth prince, this plan was extremely clever, ah! He knew that she was gege's weakness. As long as he controlled her, the entire Xiu Luo villa and all the properties under their names would become his. What was funny was that she was the main culprit of everything. If it weren't for the fact that she originally met with him, it wouldn't cause this seventh prince to pay attention and it wouldn't spiral into this situation. For a small medicine shop, they would fall into poverty and have to pay their entire Xiu Luo villa!

Remorse and self blame came rushing in. The always strong Gu Weiyi shut herself inside the quilt and wept, but she didn't allow anyone to see her weakness. After she tired herself out from crying, she pondered. Although Lan Sheng Ling's plan was good, how could gege be so easily dealt with. Since they knew she was in Lan Sheng Ling's hands, they wouldn't be immobile and obediently cast her aside. It was her that overthought the situation and underestimated gege's strength. Perhaps in the confusion, she only focused on blindly wondering about the possible dangers that could happen, and neglected to reflect upon gege's wisdom and power. It wasn't worse than the ninth prince's, ah! Now, she had to put all her energy into thinking of ways to escape. Without her, this big bargaining chip, gege's odds of success were much higher. But, how could she escape from this garden, which had hidden guards posted all over it? She didn't know any martial arts, all she knew how to do was manufacture poisons. Oh right, manufacturing poisons! Once she became cool-headed, Gu Weiyi practically wanted to slap her face. Unexpectedly, she even forgot her own abilities. In this entire second courtyard, there weren't any poisonous flowers or plants. But, she knew how to turn harmless into poisonous, ah! Over these past few days, she investigated the terrain around here. Apart from her own courtyard's walls being relatively short, she could go out. The others were too tall. But the courtyard she resided in had hidden guards everywhere. If she practiced "scattered soul" well, she could take advantage of being let out during the evening. There should be a chance to escape, right?
