Chapter 447
Swallowing a bowl of bitter and astringent medicinal juice with her nose pinched shut, Zhan Feiyu's face contorted in a grimace. She chewed vigorously on the dried fruit in her mouth to recover.
Holding up her small, pale paw, Zhan Feiyu smiled obsequiously, "I promise I won't mess around next time."
"You deliberately provoked the Jin family to ruin your reputation." Yin Wuyan's voice was cool, his gaze profound. The young girl didn't need to go to the docks to meet them; the Jin family's downfall was already sealed.
Knowing her little scheme couldn't be hidden, Zhan Feiyu nodded, then cautiously glanced at Yin Wuyan. Unfortunately, she couldn't discern any emotion from his icy expression, so she confessed honestly.
"The reason the Jin family fell so quickly is because General Yang sent troops to guard the outskirts of every prefecture. Since the Jin family would retaliate even in their final moments, I'll bear the infamy. It doesn't matter if the people of Longyou Dao resent me."
Jin Jiuye had previously intended to use Zhan Feiyu's reputation as a threat, never imagining that Zhan Feiyu herself wanted to tarnish it.
"Thinking too much will stunt your growth." As soon as Yin Wuyan said this, he saw the girl's eyes widen abruptly. Her pouting expression softened his stern features. "Remember, there won't be a next time."
Nodding her head like a pecking chick, Zhan Feiyu finally dared to ask about the situation after the docks.
Upon receiving the news, Yin Wuyan had ridden back at breakneck speed from the Weizhou camp overnight. As for the Jin family's affairs, Yin Wuyan hadn't had time to inquire.
Pressing Zhan Feiyu back into the covers, Yin Wuyan ignored her displeased gaze and said sternly, "Drink your medicine and get a good night's sleep."
"No, Big Brother, at least let me know what happened next!" Quick as a flash, she grabbed Yin Wuyan's sleeve, her face full of suspicion. Big Brother was definitely doing this on purpose. With just this tiny bit of curiosity, how could she possibly sleep!
His deep gaze shifted from the chubby paw on his sleeve to Zhan Feiyu's displeased little face. Yin Wuyan remained silent, but his stern expression said it all.
Bullying her! Zhan Feiyu really wanted to resist, but she had the desire but not the courage. She could only close her eyes in annoyance, "I'm going to sleep!"
A silent smile curved his lips. Yin Wuyan looked at the exquisite young girl, a soft, rosy bundle. But if she wasn't watched closely, she could definitely stir up trouble.
Zhan Feiyu had intended to feign sleep and wait for Yin Wuyan to leave before asking He Nuan about the outside situation. However, after a night of turmoil at the docks and catching a chill, she fell into a deep slumber in less than fifteen minutes.
His long fingers, carrying a slight coolness, touched the girl's fair cheek. Yin Wuyan then turned to leave.
"Seventh Master." He Nuan, who had been guarding outside the bedroom, immediately bowed.
"Go inside and keep watch." Yin Wuyan strode towards the front courtyard.
...
The downfall of the Jin family appeared to outsiders as a mere trifle. Yet, in just a few days, the Jin family, a long-standing local power in Longyou Dao, had vanished into thin air.
