Su Mingyu wasn't polite either. She took the drink and took a sip, then smacked her lips. "It's truly delicious. But Young Master Tang, I just casually cooked a bowl of noodles for you, and you've prepared such a big feast. I'm really flattered!"
"I invited you here today not only to thank you but also to tell you something." Tang Yan poured himself a glass of wine. After taking a sip, his expression was obviously more relaxed than before. "Gan Jiangnan has been found. Of course, it's a bit troublesome to get him out of Lin Feng's mansion, but since we've found him, the rest won't be a problem."
"Really!" A glint of excitement flashed in Su Mingyu's eyes, and her voice rose several notches. "He really went to take refuge with Lin Feng."
But immediately, Su Mingyu came to her senses. "Has Gu Ruobai been there?"
"What do you think?" A sneer hung on Tang Yan's lips, clearly showing his disdain. "They say he's Gu Ruobai's most capable and trusted subordinate. Even when Gu Ruobai went there in person to ask for him, Lin Feng just kept beating around the bush. Anyway, he just refused to admit that Gan Jiangnan was there."
Su Mingyu frowned tightly upon hearing this, and her face darkened. "You know Gu Ruobai's temper. He won't fall out with Lin Feng until the last moment. So, he definitely won't be able to get Gan Jiangnan back. We have to think of a way."
"You said that as a war god, Gu Ruobai has killed countless people on the battlefield. Why is he so indecisive when it comes to Lin Feng?" Tang Yan smacked his lips, his tone a bit contemptuous.
Su Mingyu let out an almost imperceptible sigh. "Just imagine, would you be willing to kill Tang Ziming if I asked you to?"
"Of course not. How could I kill my own brother?" Tang Yan answered almost without thinking.
But as soon as he said it, he keenly noticed something wrong. "How do you know his real name is Tang Ziming?"
Su Mingyu curled her lips. "He behaved so strangely in my Ruixian Prince's Mansion. Can't I check him out?"
"So you know everything." Tang Yan twitched the corner of his mouth. "Does that mean Gu Ruobai also knows?"
Su Mingyu didn't answer directly. She just gave him a look, and Tang Yan immediately understood.
"So do you have any ideas now?" Tang Yan looked at Su Mingyu. "You not only know Gu Ruobai very well, but you also have more tricks than ordinary people. So, tell me your thoughts."
Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "I don't have a solution either. But I think since Lin Feng is such a loyal and affectionate person, what if I spread the news that I was captured because of Gan Jiangnan, and let everyone in the capital know that I'm pregnant, and at the same time make my situation seem more dangerous? What will Lin Feng do?"
As Su Mingyu spoke, she narrowed her eyes and smiled like a fox.
"You want to take a gamble to see whether Gu Ruobai or Gan Jiangnan is more important to Lin Feng?" Tang Yan almost immediately understood Su Mingyu's thought.
Su Mingyu nodded. "People outside only know that we're looking for Gan Jiangnan, but they don't know the reason. And according to Gu Ruobai's personality, he definitely won't tell Lin Feng that Gan Jiangnan betrayed their entire army, for fear that Lin Feng will blame himself."
Narrowing her eyes, Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "Since Gu Ruobai won't say anything, then we'll let Lin Feng know something."
Tang Yan curled his lips. "Ziming said you're a sly fox. I think you're more like a wolf. Once you set your eyes on your prey, it will surely not escape."
Su Mingyu snorted. "I don't think that's a compliment."
"I'm praising you." A smile curled at the corner of Tang Yan's eyes. "Alright, I'll handle this matter."
"Eh?" Su Mingyu joked. "Your previous attitude was 'Let Gu Ruobai handle it himself. I just want to see the result.' Why are you willing to help actively now?"
"After all, if Gan Jiangnan is really the murderer who massacred the mansion, the earlier I catch him, the earlier I can avenge them. So why don't I help Gu Ruobai catch him first?" When Tang Yan said this, there was a faint smile at the corner of his eyes.
Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Tang Yan. It seemed that since yesterday, Tang Yan's attitude had changed a lot. He seemed to have softened a bit.
"I didn't expect Young Master Tang to be so open-minded." Su Mingyu said, curling the corner of her mouth. "Then I'll just wait for your news here."
Tang Yan and Su Mingyu sat in the pavilion, chatting while having a meal. The atmosphere was no longer as tense as before.
Watching the maids take all the things away, Su Mingyu sat on the railing with her legs dangling, propping her head up and looking at the lake outside. "Young Master Tang, things have come to this point. When are you going to detoxify me?"
"I've already said that I won't detoxify you until we catch the person." Tang Yan was no longer as angry as before when Su Mingyu mentioned the antidote. He just lazily sat opposite Su Mingyu and said indifferently, "I thought you weren't in a hurry."
"I wouldn't be in a hurry if I were alone, but given my current situation, how could I not be worried?" Su Mingyu curled her lips.
"I'm curious. Why would a person like you take a fancy to someone like Gu Ruobai?" Tang Yan suddenly lowered his eyes and looked at Su Mingyu. There was a hint of curiosity in his dark eyes.
A faint smile played on Su Mingyu's lips. "What do you mean by 'someone like Gu Ruobai'? He's at least a prince."
"Prince?" Disdain flashed in Tang Yan's eyes. "He's simply good-for-nothing. He used to be a war god respected by thousands of people, but now he's just a useless person. In a place like the capital, without power and influence, how can he protect your child? As far as I know, there's a younger sister named Su Yueyue beside you who has been keeping a close eye on you. Once she gives birth to the Yu Prince's child, it will be her time to fight back."
Su Mingyu turned her eyes to look at Tang Yan. "You seem to know quite a lot."
"I don't even need to send people to investigate this kind of news. I can naturally hear it from the mouths of those people in the streets." Tang Yan raised his eyebrows. "You probably don't know how famous you are in the capital. As long as you say you want to know about the princess of the Ruixian Prince, there will be a steady stream of people telling me your legends."
"Legends?" Su Mingyu was both angry and amused. "What have the people in the capital made me out to be?"
Tang Yan twitched the corner of his mouth. "You can go to the market in the capital and ask. I'm sure it will open your eyes."
"Forget it. I can already imagine what they've said." Su Mingyu gave Tang Yan a sidelong glance. "Why did you suddenly think of asking me about Gu Ruobai and me?"
"To be honest, I think you're very different." Tang Yan raised his eyebrows and said. "You do things in an unconventional way. You can be more ruthless than anyone when you need to be, but you also have your own bottom line. I'm just curious why a person like you would be with a useless person."
