181: 127: A tragedy beyond human imagination, back to Qin Shu!_3 181: 127: A tragedy beyond human imagination, back to Qin Shu!_3 “Yes,” the old eunuch said, then retreated about thirty meters.

He gently placed the Buddhist whisk in his hand, used spiritual power to completely shield his ears, and then released his spiritual power to monitor everything within several hundred meters.

At this moment, even if a bird flew in, he would have spotted it.

In the study, only Suo Ningbing and Duke Zhi Ting remained, and she immediately felt overwhelmed with anxiety.

“This matter, I truly find it difficult to speak of,” said Duke Zhi Ting.

Suo Ningbing said, “If there’s anything you wish, Your Grace, please command me.

If it’s within my power, I will give it my all.”

Duke Zhi Ting said, “I know you and your younger brother, Suo Lun, have a close relationship.

Now that Suo Hanyi has rebelled, the Suo Family is left with just the two of you to depend on each other, so naturally, your relationship is intimate.

But…

But you are after all, real siblings.

Should anything improper occur between you two, then…

then Suo Lun will instantly be cast into a hell from which he cannot recover.”

Upon hearing this, Suo Ningbing’s beautiful face turned pale in an instant.

Were her actions with Suo Lun really that obvious?

How had even Zhi Ting noticed?

Duke Zhi Ting continued, “Why did Bi Xiao offer up his family’s territory years ago?

It was because his illicit relationship with his sister was discovered by the royal family, and they blackmailed him.

Left with no choice, he had to surrender his land to preserve his and his sister’s reputation.

Now, the Suo Family and I are in the same boat, and I absolutely do not wish to see Suo Lun come to any harm.”

Suo Ningbing’s face flushed crimson, almost as if blood were about to drip.

She was utterly incapable of explaining that she and Suo Lun were not really siblings, because Suo Lun was an impostor, Lanling in disguise, a far greater secret that no one could know.

“Suo Lun, that child, I like him very much and know him well.

He is a person of extreme madness and paranoia, and no one can persuade him otherwise,” Zhi Ting said.

“That’s why I don’t talk to him, I talk to you.

Moreover, I won’t lie to you.

Suo Lun’s future and his marriage prospects are beyond your imagination.

For his sake, for the sake of the Suo Family, and for mine, I hope that no matter how much you love him, you’ll hide it.

Never cross that line, do you understand?”

Suo Ningbing, filled with shame, nodded and said, “Yes, Your Grace.

I know what to do, and I deserve to die for this.

It’s my fault for harboring improper thoughts towards him.

I will surely control my heart; thank you for your warning.”

“It’s nothing, nothing…” Duke Zhi Ting said.

“You and Suo Lun are the best children in the world.

It’s natural for you to be attracted and infatuated with each other.”

***********

Upon returning to the castle, Suo Ningbing burst into tears in front of Suo Lun and said in horror, “Little brother, has Duke Zhi Ting seen through us?

What are we to do?

What are we to do?”

Suo Lun gently held her in his arms.

Suo Ningbing struggled slightly, then lay compliantly against his chest.

“Don’t worry, I did it intentionally,” Suo Lun’s hand instinctively caressed her slender waist.

“Intentionally?

Why?” Suo Ningbing asked, her voice trembling.

Suo Lun replied, “My performance has been too extraordinary.

If Zhi Ting didn’t have something significant to hold over me, how could he dare to cooperate with me?

After all, this concerns profits of tens or hundreds of millions of Gold Coins.”

“But what if he blackmails you with this?

What if he tells His Majesty the King about our relationship?” Suo Ningbing asked anxiously.

“Relax, those who should care about our relationship won’t know.

Those who know, won’t care,” Suo Lun said.

“Our connection with them is far more entangled than you can imagine.”

Suo Ningbing pondered for a moment, then decided not to overthink and asked in confusion, “So, how exactly did Duke Zhi Ting find out just now?

Did I give something away?”

“No, it was when I took a drink for you.

The glass had your lipstick mark on it, and I deliberately drank from that spot, even licking it with my tongue,” Suo Lun explained.

“I made it subtle yet obvious enough for Zhi Ting to see, and then you fiercely gave me that amorous glance.

Even a blind person could see what it meant.”

“You jerk, you’re such a jerk, and so hopelessly bad,” Suo Ningbing scolded, her fists pummeling his chest.

“I just had a taste and wasn’t satisfied.

Now I want more,” Suo Lun said, and then cupped her gorgeous face in his hands, overpoweringly leaving her no chance to struggle or avoid him, and kissed her lips.

Suo Ningbing felt as if she’d been struck by electricity.

“This scoundrel, coming to tease me again…” was the only thought in Suo Ningbing’s mind at that moment.

Meanwhile, Gui Qinshao slowly woke up in the dungeon and discovered that her perfect body was covered with scars.

“Ah…

Ah…” she suddenly let out a series of soul-piercing screams.
