Tang Yueshan was so scared that he almost rolled off the bamboo bed!

Must she be this ruthless!?

To give him another injection! And with such a thick, long needle to boot!

Girl, are you sure that isn't a needle meant for pigs!?

Tang Yueshan wasn't afraid of being rendered mute, but he feared injections——it was a fear that was hard to put into words.

The corner of Tang Yueshan's mouth twitched, and he mockingly said, "At the very least, we're comrades fighting side by side. Is this how you’re supposed to treat me?"

What about the basic trust between people? Had it all been fed to the dogs?!

Gu Jiao shamelessly replied, "I'm already being extremely lenient with this. I actually intended to poison you."

Tang Yueshan again: "…!!"

Just how did this girl figure out he wanted to snitch?

Was it all written on his face that he intended to report them for credit?

Tang Yueshan glared angrily at Gu Jiao, and as he thought of something, he furrowed his brows as though finding something strange. "Wait a minute, didn't you already poison me? My life and death are already in your hands. Why would you try to poison me again unnecessarily?"

Gu Jiao blinked.

Tang Yueshan suddenly sat up straight, "You didn't poison me!"

Gu Jiao solemnly replied, "I did!"

Tang Yueshan argued, "No, you didn't!"

Gu Jiao insisted, "I did!"

Tang Yueshan refused to believe, "I don't trust you!"

Gu Jiao's eyes spun around, "Well, anyway, I intend to render you mute!"

Tang Yueshan: “...”.

Tang Yueshan, who couldn't be swayed by wealth or subdued by force, ultimately succ.u.mbed to a needle and promised never to speak of what he had heard today.

However, Gu Jiao still wasn't convinced, "A man's words are as deceiving as ghosts!"

Tang Yueshan was utterly bewildered. Who taught her all this nonsense?

Tang Yueshan was getting frustrated. While deception might be acceptable in war, that was on the battlefield. Moreover, he wasn't that crafty in private. He wasn't like that shameless guy called Marquis Xuanping!

Feeling a bit angry, Tang Yueshan spoke seriously, "As the Supreme Commander of the army, I promise to keep silent, and I will definitely honor that promise. Why don't you trust me?"

"If you want me to trust you, it's possible." Gu Jiao said, rubbing her chin as she sized up Tang Yueshan.

Tang Yueshan felt an ominous premonition creeping up from within, "W-What are you planning to do?"

Gu Jiao crossed her arms, lightly tapping her fingers on her arm, and looked at him sideways. "If you become my lil’ bro, I'll trust you and won't render you mute."

Tang Yueshan was puzzled. "Lil’ bro, what’s that?"

"My little brother." Gu Jiao explained.

Tang Yueshan almost thought he misheard her. What did this girl just say? Little brother? Him?

Ha!

He, the Supreme Commander of the army, was supposed to become this girl's little brother?

She must be insane or perhaps frightened out of her wits by the fact that Marquis Ding'an Estate was housing spies.

Even though she wasn't born to Ling shi, considering that she still bore the bloodline of the Marquis Ding’an Estate, there was no guarantee of her safety, especially after Marquis Ding'an Estate was accused of treason. Where could she possibly find refuge?

He feared she might fall out of favor simultaneously with the Emperor and Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Tsk tsk, without the support of these two figures, how would this girl navigate her future?

Gu Jiao said sternly, "You choose, either be rendered mute by me or become my little brother."

Tang Yueshan smirked coldly, "Girl, how about this, if you become my disciple, I'll consider sparing your life when I return to the capital."

Tang Ming was his son, but if this girl actually became his disciple, he would reluctantly consider her as his half-daughter. If a daughter hurt a son, it was a family matter. Then family rules should be enforced; there was no need for violence.

Unlike that stubborn old fool, Gu Chao, who favored males over females, Tang Yueshan had also nurtured his daughters attentively.

Unfortunately, none of them had a talent for martial arts.

This girl, on the other hand, had too much talent.

He valued talents. As long as this girl was obedient, he guaranteed he would nurture her just like he had raised Tang Ming in the past.

Honestly, if it weren't for this situation, Tang Yueshan wouldn't have allowed Gu Jiao to become his disciple under any circ.u.mstances. Admiring her talent was one thing, but overcoming the hurdle in his heart was another thing.

However, the relationships between people were like an unpredictable game. No one knew which side would gain the upper hand in the next moment.

Clearly, with him severely injured and Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing at full strength, his chances of winning were slim.

For the sake of survival, he had to make sacrifices. However, simply sacrificing himself made him unwilling. If he could gain some advantage in the process, it wouldn't feel as frustrating.

...He absolutely refused to admit that he coveted this la.s.s!

Anyway, Gu Chao didn’t want her, but he did!

Gu Chengfeng was completely lost in the immense shock, utterly stunned. He hadn't absorbed a single word of the conversation between Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan by his side.

Until... Gu Changqing emerged from the neighboring room and unexpectedly heard Tang Yueshan's voice as he pa.s.sed by the doorway.

He pushed the door open and glanced at the three people inside, exclaiming in surprise, "What are you all doing here?"

This time, Gu Chengfeng reacted. Seeing Gu Changqing, a surge of grievances welled up inside him. His little mouth pouted, "Eldest brother..."

He got off the bed with the rim of his eyes red, intending to rush towards his eldest brother, only to find his bandages tangled with Tang Yueshan's.

Feeling a sharp pain in his leg, Tang Yueshan instinctively tugged the bandage, forcefully pulling Gu Chengfeng back. Gu Chengfeng instantly lost his balance and fell backward.

With this collision, not only did Tang Yueshan fall, but the pearwood wall behind him also collapsed.

The two injured soldiers tumbled into the next room in a sorry state!

Old Marquis frowned at the two who had crashed through the wall!

Gu Chengfeng's arm was bandaged, his leg not so much. He endured the pain and stood up from the pile of wooden boards, looking towards Old Marquis whom he hadn't seen for several days.

Old Marquis also looked back at him, displaying surprise and excitement in his expression.

Gu Chengfeng was slightly taken aback. Grandfather is this excited to see me? Could it be, I am really the grandson who holds the most special place in his heart?!

Extreme joy surged within Gu Chengfeng, sweeping away the gloom of discovering he was half a little spy. With tears in his eyes, he walked towards his grandfather!

He came to the bedside!

With tear-filled eyes, he looked at his grandfather, "Grand..."

Before the word "father" could be fully uttered, his own grandfather pushed him away using his arm with a splint attached.

Old Marquis looked excitedly past Gu Chengfeng, "Little brother!"

Gu Chengfeng: Little, little, little brother?

Tang Yueshan, half buried under the wooden boards, glanced behind himself.

Where did this little brother come from?

Gu Jiao, who had already put on her mask at some point, also looked excitedly at Old Marquis, swiftly walked over, sat by the bedside, and held his hand.

Big brother!

Tears welled up in Old Marquis' eyes, "Little brother!"

Gu Jiao: Big brother!

"Little brother!"

Big brother!

Old Marquis held Gu Jiao's hand, tears streaming down his face, "Little brother! It's really you! I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime! To see you again in my lifetime is truly wonderful!"
