This wasn’t the first time he encountered such a scenario.

Therefore, he quickly lowered his head and apologized weakly.

“I’m sorry, Sister Huarong. I thought I could use this method to teach her a lesson since 1 couldn’t win against her. 1 didn’t expect her to see through it. I’m sorry for making you worry and for causing you to be misunderstood. It’s all my fault. You can hit me a few more times until you’re satisfied.”

As he spoke, he reached out to hold Yu Huarong’s hand, asking her to hit him.

Yu Huarong firmly withdrew her hand.

“What use is it for me to hit you? You should apologize to this young lady.”

Whenever it concerned Yu Huarong, Yu Zinan could always adapt quickly. He immediately turned to Gu Qingluan and took all the blame upon himself.

This development was beyond everyone’s expectations.

No one had anticipated this outcome.

Even Gu Qingluan was taken by surprise.

She looked deeply at Yu Huarong.

It seemed she had underestimated this First Lady Yu.

She could actually manipulate her younger cousin to this extent. Even though she was the mastermind, she could make him shoulder all the blame.

No wonder First Lady Yu had thrived in both the Holy Capital and the Qiankun Academy.

Gu Qingluan retracted the golden threads and, facing Yu Zinan’s apology, replied coldly, “How did you make Lord Qian and Lord Zhao apologize earlier?”

Yu Zinan’s expression froze.

What did this woman want to do?

Did she want him to kneel down?

“Patriarch Zhao is injured and cannot come forward at the moment. Patriarch Qian, will you stand up for both yourself and Patriarch Zhao?” Gu Qingluan said, turning to the nearby Lord Qian.

Lord Qian hesitated slightly. “This…”

“Hurry up! Guardian Princess is here to seek justice for you. If you don’t go forward, are you trying to humiliate her?”

The people behind him gave him a push, urging him to step forward.

Patriarch Qian’s expression hardened.

They were right.

Guardian Princess was willing to offend this so-called Yu family just to seek justice for him.

If he didn’t step forward, it would be a public humiliation of the princess, hurting her pride!

Would he still be considered a man?

Regardless of whether it was the Yu family or any other family, he had to do it!

Patriarch Qian took a deep breath and walked over to Gu Qingluan.

Gu Qingluan smiled, showing some courage.

Then she turned to Yu Zinan and said, “Apologize.”

With everyone standing in front of him, was there any need to discuss the method of apology?

Yu Zinan realized that the request was just as he had guessed, and his face turned iron-gray.

But since he couldn’t beat Gu Qingluan and couldn’t confront her directly, he cast a cold and piercing look at Patriarch Qian and said, “Patriarch Qian, right? How many family members do you have living in Tianjing?”

Threat!

This was clearly a threat!

Identity, address, family—the three questions encompassed the most crucial pieces of information. If this wasn’t a threat, what was it?

Family family Qian’s face displayed panic, and his eyes pleaded for help as he looked toward Gu Qingluan.

As the onlookers witnessed Yu Zinan openly threatening someone in such a brazen manner, they couldn’t help but express their righteous indignation.

“This kid shows no sign of remorse at all? Threatening Patriarch Qian in front of so many people. Is he treating us like we’re already dead?”

“He must be severely punished! We can’t let this kid off lightly! Otherwise, will the people from the Outer City come and trample all over us in the future?”

Compared to the anger and concern of the crowd, Gu Qingluan appeared much calmer.

She simply curved her lips, and her enchanting peach-like eyes shifted to Yu Huarong. Her tone was casual but struck at the heart. “1 would think that one of the top aristocratic families in the Holy Heaven Dynasty, like the Yu family, wouldn’t stoop to harassing an inconspicuous small family after making promises they can’t keep, right?”

If the other side could threaten, she could do the same.

There were so many witnesses present.

Unless the Yu family had the ability to silence all the eyewitnesses here today, any mishap that might befall the Qian family in the future would lead others to suspect the Yu family!

Yu Huarong clearly understood Gu Qingluan’s implication and immediately wore a frosty expression..
