"You know each other?"

The moment Kang Luo asked, he realized it was a stupid question. Wasn't it obvious?

The steward didn't look happy at all. He could feel a green hat settling on his own head... He'd forgotten he was only an adulterer himself.

Kang Xiao was surprised to see Yunniang too.

But then something hit him. This was the chancellor's residence, and Yunniang was here in the middle of the night. It was obvious who she was... His scalp prickled. He'd slept with Zong Sibo's woman.

No. Zong Sibo must never find out about this. Otherwise, forget any alliance. Zong Sibo might even join forces with Zhang Tianlun against them.

Yunniang's face lit up. She'd never expected to see the lover she'd been longing for, here of all places.

But just then, Yunniang said in a panic, "Yun, dear, save me..."

Kang Xiao paused, looking at her without understanding.

Yunniang said, "His Excellency wants to kill me. I had no choice but to tie him up... Yun, dear, help me..."

The two brothers were stunned.

The woman had actually tied up Zong Sibo?

Kang Xiao asked curiously, "Why does Zong Sibo want to kill you?"

Yunniang said sweetly, "Because he found out the child…
