Chapter 1718

"But if Brother Gu were to strike, even if Long Xiaoyun had more schemes, they would be useless, right?"

It was no surprise that A'fei would have this confusion.

Gu Hanyuan had long since prepared his rhetoric, and chuckled indifferently:

"Heh, as for Li Xunhuan and Long Xiaoyun, I don't think much of either of them, and I'm too lazy to intervene in their affairs. Moreover, I also have to consider the thoughts of Shiyin and Xiaoyun. Giving Li Xunhuan a small hint is already out of consideration for the fact that he was framed as the Plum Blossom Thief and has done many good deeds in the Jianghu."

He paused, patted A'fei on the shoulder, and said with feigned concern:

"So if things become impossible, A'fei, you don't have to force yourself to protect Li Xunhuan."

A'fei, who had been greatly influenced by Gu Hanyuan without realizing it, was somewhat moved upon hearing this.

He only felt that apart from his mother, Gu Hanyuan was the best to him.

After being moved, A'fei laughed clearly:

"Brother Gu, I understand."

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked somewhat strangely:

"By the way, should I call Lin Shiyin sister-in-law?"

Gu Hanyuan laughed upon hearing this.

He said with a subtle smile:

"I didn't expect you to have this bit of wit. You can call her that next time you see her."

A'fei's sudden display of wit surprised Gu Hanyuan somewhat.

However, the matters had been arranged, and Gu Hanyuan had no interest in accompanying him to blow in the cold wind here.

He said with a chuckle:

"I'm leaving, A'fei, you take care of your own safety."

"Brother Gu, go slowly."

A'fei said goodbye respectfully, watched Gu Hanyuan's figure gradually move away, and turned back to the prison.

He looked at the tightly closed prison door, hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door and walked in.

Gu Hanyuan, who returned to the inner courtyard of the Xingyun Manor, would not choose to sleep alone.

He naturally entered Lin Shiyin's room.

The still-burning candle flame showed the mood of the room's owner.

Gu Hanyuan embraced Lin Shiyin's soft, delicate body and teased:

"Is Madam waiting for me?"

Lin Shiyin's bright, pretty face flushed red, and she said shyly:

"Who was waiting for you..."

Gu Hanyuan looked at the expectation hidden in Lin Shiyin's eyes, how could he not know she was being stubborn.

He teased with a laugh:

"It's faster to just ask Madam's body directly."

With that, he picked Lin Shiyin up horizontally.

The candle flame that had been burning for half the night was extinguished along with it.
