Zhao Yi's lips curled up, exclaiming, "Truly, no one knows a father better than his daughter! Indeed, it was your father who reported to the Imperial Clan Court!"

After speaking, he shook his head and said, "Su Changyuan is indeed a smart man. He made the right decision at the first moment. However, there's one thing he miscalculated."

Su Qianqian hastily asked, "What thing?"

Zhao Yi patiently explained, "Su Changyuan forgot that the Imperial Clan Court is not the Ministry of Justice."

"The Ministry of Justice needs evidence to kill, but the Imperial Clan Court only needs a list!"

"For the Imperial Clan Court, as long as it's a fact that you've colluded with the Heaven-Facing Sect, it doesn't matter whether Su Changyuan knew about it or not."

"Anyway, the whole family will be executed. Adding him is just one more swing of the executioner's axe; it's not much trouble."

Upon hearing this, Su Qianqian's face drained of color completely, and her legs gave way as she directly knelt down.

Zhao Yi saw her in this state, surprised, and said, "Could it be that you never thought of the consequences before joining the Heaven-Facing Sect? No way, no way, right? You didn't think you could take the blame for such rebellion all by yourself?"

Su Qianqian's face turned from white to blue, then from blue back to white.

She looked as if her soul had been sucked out, lost and desolate, no longer commanding as before.

This situation didn't last too long.

Somehow, Su Qianqian's mind shifted, and a spirit returned to her face.

She glared at Zhao Yi, with a look as if she had seen through him.

Su Qianqian raised her head, arrogantly saying, "Zhao Yi, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! To force me back to your side, you'd stoop so low! Let my family go free, and I might consider giving you a chance to pursue me! Otherwise, you'll never have me in this lifetime!"

After those words, not only Zhao Yi, but even the male lead beside them was stunned.

Zhao Yi felt torn apart.

Everything he said just now, this woman didn't hear a single word!

The two exchanged a glance, looking at each other speechlessly.

At this moment, the two men deeply hurt by Su Qianqian found common ground!

The male lead looked at Zhao Yi with sympathy.

He empathized with Zhao Yi's plight.

All along, Su Qianqian had disgusted him like this.

Zhao Yi: "..."

The male lead actually sympathized with him, something Zhao Yi hadn't expected.

It seemed he was genuinely tormented by Su Qianqian.

But, it's not enough!

Zhao Yi blinked and pointed at the male lead, earnestly telling Su Qianqian, "Oh, let me introduce someone to you."

The male lead's heart skipped a beat.

For some reason.

Seeing Zhao Yi's posture, an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

Su Qianqian instinctively looked at the male lead, unsure what Zhao Yi wanted to say.

Zhao Yi told Su Qianqian, "You might not know, but this master also has the blood of the Zhao royal family flowing in his veins. Even if you annulled your engagement, you couldn't be with him because both law and tradition forbid it."

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he looked at Su Qianqian with regret.

"Now you know why the master has always avoided expressing his love for you, right? It's because he fears dragging you into a situation condemned by everyone!"

Su Qianqian was first stunned, then her dull eyes suddenly lit up.

She said with emotion, "Brother Fajing, I didn't expect you to care for me so much?"

Male lead: "..."

I'm not! I didn't! He's slandering me!

The male lead's face turned a deep shade of red.

He looked at Zhao Yi in shock.

Obviously, he hadn't expected his "tough brother" Zhao Yi to stab him in the back!

Zhao Yi sneered on the side.

He was utterly speechless at Su Qianqian's obliviousness in love matters.

She was moved by this?

Did she forget that her whole family was on the verge of execution at the Imperial Clan Court?

Her entire family can't compare to her beloved, can they?
