Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

When Jiang Qingwu returned to Qingfeng Pavilion with a knife in hand, Jiuhan cooperated in a play.

The noise started from the front door.

"Girl, don't mess around. She is your godfather's savior. You..."

"Get out of my way. Yan Xiuchen actually believed her and not me."

"I have to get to the bottom of this today. I want to see where this bitch comes from."

"Girl, don't go, godfather just..."

Jiuhan kept shouting while stopping Jiang Qingwu.

It was not until they reached the door that Jiang Qingwu took out the badge from his arms.

"Yan Xiuchen's jade token, get out of my way..."

Seeing this, Jiuhan immediately took two steps back.

"Everyone get out of here. No matter what happens, don't come in."

Jiang Qingwu shouted loudly, and only after he saw the servants, Jiuhan, and the guards had all left the yard did he stride into the house.

At this time, Xu Qingran had obviously heard the noise outside.

Holding a short knife in his hand, he stood not far away with a stern look.

He was dressed in a blue brocade robe, with a calm and cold look on his face.

"I guessed you would come to see me, but I didn't expect it to be so soon..."

Jiang Qingwu was a little stunned, his heart tightened, and he clenched the knife in his hand.

When Yan Xiuchen returned to Qingfeng Pavilion, he saw his personal guards and Jiuhan outside the courtyard gate.

"Why are you all outside?"

Jiu Han heard the voice and hurried over, "Godfather, the girl said that we are not needed, let all of us come out."

"No matter what happens, don't go in there."

"She already said that Xu Qingran knows martial arts, so why did you come out when she asked you to?"

Jiuhan was stunned for a moment, turned around to go in, but turned back abruptly.

"Godfather, don't worry. With the girl's skills, there aren't many people who can beat her."

Yan Xiuchen sighed and glared at him, "Shen Zhuoran couldn't beat her, but he still got hurt."

Hearing Yan Xiuchen say this, Jiuhan immediately nodded and sneaked into the yard.

"Your knife is really nice, I like it."

Jiang Qingwu sat at the table, stepping on the tied-up Xu Qingran, and admiring Xu Qingran's dagger.

Xu Qingran struggled for a few times and just rolled away from Jiang Qingwu's feet.

"Kill me if you want, what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? What do you want to do? You have only 30-year-old martial arts skills, and you still want to pose in front of me?"

Jiang Qingwu pulled out Xu Qingran's dagger, then raised his hand and stabbed it hard on the table.

With a "bang", Jiang Qingwu's face instantly showed a bit of coldness.

"Tell me, who is this young master you are talking about? What are you doing in Baihua Tower? Who sent you here?"

"Let me tell you, Xu Qingran, I'm not Yan Xiuchen, nor am I one of those men who are easy to fool."

"You don't dare to kill me, but I dare to kill you."

"You'd better tell me clearly, otherwise, I will make you live a life worse than death."

Jiang Qingwu kept questioning, one question after another, which made Xu Qingran a little stunned.

He lay on the ground and took advantage of the situation for a long time before he suddenly spoke, "I don't understand what you are saying."

Jiang Qingwu nodded, sighed, stood up and walked towards him.

He stepped on her slender waist, grabbed Xu Qingran's leg, and twisted it with a "crack".

"Ah..." Xu Qingran's scream scared Jiuhan outside the door.

Even Yan Xiuchen and the others outside the yard could hear it clearly.

"Stop shouting. Just be good and I'll break it back for you later." Jiang Qingwu sat at the table with an indifferent expression and poured himself tea.

"I...even if I tell you, Yan Xiuchen won't believe you."

"If I refuse to admit it, what can you do to me?"

Jiang Qingwu looked at Xu Qingran lying on the ground with cold eyes and chuckled, "This is not something you can worry about."

"I'm telling you clearly, if you cooperate with me, maybe I can spare you."

"If you don't cooperate, I will kill you."

"She was a merchant's daughter, so I'll just kill her. This girl will feel relieved."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu glanced at Xu Qingran and said, "You won't tell me, okay..."

Seeing Jiang Qingwu put down the cup and stand up, Xu Qingran moved his body and stepped back repeatedly.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, you ask, you ask..."

Jiang Qingwu nodded and sat back down silently.

She had expected that Xu Qingran would not be able to hold on for long.

Because there was no one around, she dared to use the knife and spoke without fear.

This is also the reason why Jiang Qingwu had to act out that drama and drive the people out.

"Have you ever slept with Yan Xiuchen? Do you have a promise to spend the rest of your life together?"

Jiang Qingwu blurted out, and Xu Qingran was suddenly startled, and the expression on his face froze.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu drew out his knife with a "whoosh" and pointed it towards Xu Qingran.

Xu Qingran was so frightened that his body trembled, and he blurted out subconsciously, "No, no, no..."

"He, he only stayed in our house for ten days. During those ten days..."

"I, I have been taking care of him day and night, and I also want to get close to a big shot like the Regent."

"I had originally thought that we could make it happen, but he was unconscious for eight of the ten days, so nothing could be done."

Jiang Qingwu frowned as he looked at Xu Qingran, and suddenly put the knife back, "What about the promise of being together till old age?"

"My father relieved the poison in His Highness' body and healed his injuries."

"His Highness promised our Xu family the status of imperial merchant, and also made a promise to me, saying that if I have any difficulties in the future, I can come to the capital to find him."

"So, here I am."

So this is what is called a promise of growing old together.

Jiang Qingwu's annoyance subsided a little as he listened to Xu Qingran's words.

After all, their Xu family did save Yan Xiuchen.

"Okay, let's get down to business and officially begin."

As soon as Jiang Qingwu finished speaking, the pain on Xu Qingran's face became more severe, and big beads of sweat rolled down.

"Who is the young master you are talking about?"

"It's... Gu, Gu Yanbai, Mr. Gu." Xu Qingran said without hiding anything.

This made Jiang Qingwu a little stunned and shocked.

"Tell me clearly, what is your relationship with Gu Yanbai and why did you go to Baihua Tower?"

"I originally came to the capital to seek refuge with His Highness, but I was captured by Gu Yanbai as soon as I arrived."

"He threatened me with my family, asking me to use the grace of saving my life to find a way to become His Highness's concubine."

"And...and forced myself on it."

"I have no choice. I am his, so I have no choice but to listen to him."

Jiang Qingwu's head was buzzing as he listened to these words and looked at Xu Qingran with half belief and half doubt.

"What about Baihua Tower? Where are your martial arts?"

Xu Qingran's tears fell down, and the way she cried seemed more sincere than before.

"I am the only daughter in the family. My father trained me to be the heir of the family and asked me to inherit the family's herbal medicine business."

"I've traveled a lot, so I learned some basic skills since I was a kid."

"Gu Yanbai told me before that if I have anything to do, I should go to Baihua Tower and he would come to see me."

"But I went to Baihua Tower that time, but I didn't see anyone. I didn't know who to look for in Baihua Tower."

"I had to escape again."

As she spoke, Xu Qingran began to sob and moved towards Jiang Qingwu.

"Miss Jiang, my father and I saved the life of the regent. I may have some unreasonable thoughts, but they are not unforgivable."

"Just give me a way out."
