Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

Feng San Niang was really heartbroken this time, and Gao Zhao had to comfort her for a long time before she calmed down!

She even cried a lot halfway through, but crying wasn't an option! The atmosphere had already reached this point...

Afterwards, Gao Zhao lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, panting heavily. He glanced at Feng San Niang, who was limp as a puddle of mud, and revealed a satisfied smile.

Today's strength is all thanks to myself, thanks to my relentless hard work and strong liver!

This reminded him of the sunset that day, a reminder of his lost youth!

Those were turbulent years, turbulent youth, three to five times a day, done casually!

It's been so long since I've felt this exhilarating, sweaty feeling!

With a mere 52 points in constitution, he's already so powerful; if his liver were at its full capacity, it's unimaginable!

When I bring my max-level character to find Li Shishi, that tyrannical emperor will probably lose his way by the time he arrives!

Just thinking about it is pretty exciting!

When he first arrived here, he was not used to it. Living among a bunch of treacherous officials, his noble soul always seemed out of place with them, and he never felt a sense of belonging!

But after today's small test, the sense of immersion and anticipation has been maximized!

This place is so much better!

Just then, Feng San Niang placed a hand on his chest and said in a hoarse voice, "You won't abandon me, will you?"

Gao Zhao turned to look at Feng Sanniang, whose face was flushed, and smiled slightly, saying, "Sister, don't worry, don't you know who I, Fan Tong, am?"

Feng San Niang finally felt relieved. Suddenly, she realized that things weren't so bad after all. Rather than being with that incompetent man who even hit her, she was better off with this man who was infatuated with her!

Young and rich, generous, gentle and considerate, good at flirting, and especially good-looking...

Oh dear! Thinking of this, Feng Sanniang became a little shy again, lowered her head, and moved closer to him.

"By the way, what about your husband if you're with me?" Gao Zhao put his arm around her and asked seemingly casually.

"Him? Humph, I want a divorce from him!" Feng Sanniang felt a surge of anger as she thought about what had happened today.

"Oh! It can't be that bad!" Gao Zhao's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly said, "Sister, there's a saying that it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage! You've made me commit a sin!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Sanniang retorted angrily, "Bah! Why didn't you say so when you were undressing me!"

Gao Zhao chuckled awkwardly and said, "Since my sister has taken the initiative to come to my door, wouldn't it be impolite of me not to take the initiative as well?"

"I can't be bothered with you!" Feng Sanniang blushed at his words. After running away from home, she had nowhere to go and instinctively came here. Who knew that this bad man would strip her naked as soon as he saw her, and she didn't even have a chance to say a word...

Now he's turning around and saying nice things to her, how infuriating! But now is not the time to argue with him about this, so he explained to her, "It has nothing to do with you, it's about something else."

"Oh!" Gao Zhao's expression darkened, and she said indifferently, "If it's inconvenient for my sister to say, then let's not say it!"

Feng Sanniang was taken aback. Seeing his expression, she realized he had misunderstood and hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think... it's because he gambled..."

She was only halfway through her sentence when she noticed the other person's expression becoming even more suspicious. Feng Sanniang simply said, "He lost a lot of money and even hit me!"

Gao Zhao looked at the red mark on her face with pity and gently stroked it, saying, "If it's because you're short of money, that's alright. I can give you some money!"

"You don't want to care about me!" Feng Sanniang suddenly straightened up, her body trembling violently.

Gao Zhao remained unmoved, her heart still full of affection, and said, "I'm afraid you'll suffer and regret it after the divorce!"

Feng Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head firmly, saying, "No, it's not the first time! Last time, they even sent debt collectors to our house."

Gao Zhao frowned slightly and said, "So how did you solve it? It couldn't be...?"

Seeing Gao Zhao looking at her strangely, Feng Sanniang knew he had misunderstood, and quickly waved her hand to explain, "No, no, don't guess! It's..."

Feng Sanniang hesitated for a moment, thinking to herself that if she didn't say anything today, and he found out from the neighborhood, the misunderstanding would only deepen, and it would be difficult to explain it clearly then.

So, steeling himself, he revealed how they had framed Lin Chong.

After saying that, Feng Sanniang looked at Gao Zhao anxiously, afraid that he would despise her because of this. If that happened, she was afraid that she would not be able to get a divorce!

However, Gao Zhao did not show the disgust he expected; instead, he became serious.

Feng Sanniang's heart leaped into her throat, and she sobbed, "If you look down on me..."

"Sister, what are you saying! I was just worried about you!" Gao Zhao hugged her tightly and said earnestly, "When you two were arguing tonight, did you mention that matter when the neighbors came to mediate?"

"No... I don't think so..." Feng Sanniang thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "I think I said a little bit, I was so angry at the time..."

"Oh no!" Gao Zhao slapped Feng Sanniang's thigh, startling her. "If even a tiny bit is overheard, it'll be enough to arouse suspicion. They might not realize it at the time, but they'll definitely be suspicious afterward!"

"No...no way..." Feng Sanniang was a woman who had never experienced hardship, and she panicked completely when he said that.

"Sister, this is a huge deal!" Gao Zhao rolled over and straddled her, looking directly into her eyes, and said seriously, "You're trying to kill someone! This kind of framing, if proven true, is a capital offense! You can't take any chances!"

"Ah!" Feng Sanniang exclaimed, her eyes filled with fear, and she said in a panic, "Then...then what should I do...?"

Gao Zhao rolled off the bed and paced back and forth. After a long while, he suddenly turned to look at Feng Sanniang, who looked terrified, and said in a deep voice, "Sister, given the current situation, if you want to escape safely, I'm afraid there's only one way, but I'm afraid you can't bring yourself to do it!"

"What method? Tell me quickly!" Feng Sanniang sat up, still covered by the corner of the quilt, and asked anxiously.

Gao Zhao raised his palm and gestured downwards, saying sternly, "Go to Kaifeng Prefecture and turn yourself in, explaining what happened!"

"Ah! No!" Feng Sanniang cried out in alarm, "I'll be beheaded!"

"What are you thinking!" Gao Zhao shook her head and said, "You're not the main culprit. You were coerced by your husband into doing this foolish thing. Besides, you repented in time and turned back from your wrong path, preventing a major disaster. Even if you are guilty, it's a minor offense. Moreover, turning yourself in reduces the severity of your crime. You'll be fine!"

"But..." Feng Sanniang still hesitated, after all, turning herself in was something that would frighten anyone.

Gao Zhao added, "Furthermore, sister, the person who gave you the money is definitely not a good person. Do you think he would let you, the people in the know, off the hook?"

Feng Sanniang's eyes widened, filled with fear.

"Only the dead can keep a secret forever!" Gao Zhao stepped forward and grabbed her hand, saying, "This is the only way to save you right now!"

Feng Sanniang shook her head and said, "Let's leave here..."

"Sister!" Gao Zhao interrupted her, "I spent a lot of the family's resources and placed the hopes of the entire clan on this to finally pass the imperial examination. I can't be so selfish!"

Feng Sanniang immediately collapsed, tears streaming down her face!
