Fei Xue always believed in what Zhao Yue said. 

She gritted her teeth hard. There was deep hatred in her.

***

At the entrance.

Fei Xue saw a girl who was wearing green clothes standing at the entrance. She seemed calm. There were freckles on her face. She looked extremely ordinary and there was nothing special about her appearance.

She was in doubt and she turned to look at Zhao Yao. "Do you know this girl?"

Zhao Yao was stunned. 'Why is it her? I never thought that she would catch up with me so soon.

'Fortunately, I have explained to Fei Xue just now. If not, she might talk about something else. There might be some misunderstandings between Fei Xue and me if she does so. That's not good.'

"Yes, I know her. She's Feng Ruqing's palace maid. She's not from Fengyun clan."

He sneered coldly.

'What kind of a place is Fengyun Manor? Why would a disciple from Fengyun clan be a palace maid for a princess from the secular world? It's ridiculous!'

"How dare that woman come looking for you!" Fei Xue was infuriated.

'It seems that Talon's Gate has not been making an appearance in the public for so long. Now, even a princess from a worthless kingdom dares to come and seduce my man!'

Hong Yu was expressionless. She seemed cold and distant. "I have come here because I want to ask Zhao Yao about somebody. If you leave Ziyan to me, I'll forgive you for what you have done. If not, I'm afraid that even Talon's Gate will not be able to protect you."

She would never forget how Ziyan had acted arrogantly in Fengyun Manor because of Qing Yuan's protection.

But, Ziyan acted differently in front of Qing Yuan. Therefore, Qing Yuan believed in her deeply.

That was fine.

But, she could not accept the fact that the family members of the manor master were almost killed on the battlefield because of her stopping Qing Yuan from helping.

She also could not accept the fact that Ziyan threw herself into another man's embrace when Qing Yuan was no longer influential in Fengyun clan. 

She understood very well the reason why Manor Lady had kicked Qing Yuan out of Fengyun Manor. Qing Yuan was too stupid and naive. He did not know how to differentiate between good and bad people. If he stayed in Fengyun clan, he might cause trouble there.

There might be other women who were just like Ziyan. Ziyan had always caused trouble when she was acting like she owned Fengyun clan before. She might offend someone who was much more powerful in the future if she continued to act like that. Then, she would surely cause trouble to Fengyun Manor.

But, even so…

She had a long and deep relations.h.i.+p with Qing Yuan. He would never allow anyone to treat her badly!

"Who's Ziyan?" Zhao Yao saw how Fei Xue's doubt when she was looking at him. He was rather angry. "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know any Ziyan."

Hong Yu sneered. "Your lover, Ziyan was Qing Yuan's lover too. He was one of us before. She's just a woman who abandoned Qing Yuan when he had lost his power and status. You're the only one who could be with this kind of woman."

Zhao Yao's eyes darkened. 

'Ziyan lied to me. Did that youth have a relations.h.i.+p with her before?

'd.a.m.n it! That woman!'

But, Zhao Yao had never met Qing Yuan before. The only guardians from Fengyun Manor whom he knew were Hong Yu and Feng Ying. Hence, he did not know of Qing Yuan's ident.i.ty and he chose to believe his little lover.

"Zhao Yao!" Fei Xue scolded him angrily. "Explain to me! Who the h.e.l.l is Ziyan?"

Zhao Yao froze. He turned to look at Fei Xue with his sad eyes. The pain in him was so real and obvious. 

"Xue'er, don't you trust me? Is it true that you never believed me?"
