She's back...

The three closed their eyes and started to drift off to sleep soundly, knowing that Yue Sinan wouldn't be coming back tonight after the unforeseeable situation.

After a good night's sleep, there was a knock on the door. Shangguan Mingyan was the first to get up, go to the door, and open it. Then he saw the waiter standing in the doorway, with a face full of panic and shaky legs, saying, "Three... the three... Fu... Madame Fu asks the three of you to... speak... in the foyer."

When Fu Changling heard this voice, he was still sleeping. Yawning, he slowly got up and murmured impatiently, "Keep her waiting. Mingyan," Fu Changling crawled out from under the quilt and grumbled in a bad mood, "close the door and see the guest off."

Then Fu Changling began to wash his face and rinse his mouth.

Shangguan Mingyan moved closer to Fu Changling and asked anxiously, "Shen Xiōng, what do you think they mean by this? What does Madame Fu want to see us for?"

"What for?" Fu Changling laughed in spite of himself, "Looking for someone to shift the blame."

With that, he turned his head and exclaimed to Qin Yan, who was sitting on the bed, meditating, "Isn't that right, Shīxiōng?"

"Speak with discretion," Qin Yan responded matter-of-factly, and Fu Changling shrugged at Shangguan Mingyan.

Fu Changling was the last to wake up. The three left the room once he had freshened up and made their way to the foyer.

As soon as they left the room, they realized that something was amiss. Fu clansmen were strictly guarding every ten paces along the corridor, all the way out.

Inside and outside the inn, their people were everywhere. Fu Changling held his sword to his chest, tapped his arm in passing, looked around, and walked alongside Shangguan Mingyan behind Qin Yan.

Upon entering the foyer, Fu Changling noticed that it had been cleared of all people, leaving only the Yue Clan standing inside. Yue Sihua was sitting in the middle, sipping tea while waiting for the three.

"It looks like a banquet set up with the intention of murdering the guests," whispered Shangguan Mingyan with a grin on his face.

Fu Changling said nothing and followed Qin Yan forward to take a seat. Qin Yan sat across from Yue Sihua, while Fu Changyan stood by to pour wine for her. As he did so, he didn't forget to look up and glare menacingly at Fu Changling.

Fu Changling was delighted, and behind Qin Yan's back, he stuck out his tongue at Fu Changyan. Fu Changyan was dumbfounded, then immediately became enraged. But he dared not do anything for Yue Sihua's sake. After pouring the wine, he had no choice but to step back obediently.

"Madame Fu." Qin Yan saluted Yue Sihua, who didn't respond. Qin Yan said nothing either, but Yue Sihua took a sip of her wine and unhurriedly asked, "Shouldn't you be explaining something to me, my young friend Qin?"

"Explain what?" Qin Yan posed a straightforward question in response, and Yue Sihua laughed in spite of herself. "Is there really no explanation for what happened last night?"

Qin Yan raised his gaze and calmly said, "Please get to the point."

Yue Sihua was momentarily rendered speechless, and Fu Changling at the back couldn't help bursting out giggling. "There was an attempt to assassinate me last night, and there are traces of your people at the door of my chamber," Yue Sihua said angrily, scowling. "Why don't you explain this a little to me?"
