Han Ying was still reading the book, but when she heard Shao Qingyuan's words, her attention was pulled back.
Her face turned pale as she suddenly took a step back. Marquis Pingnan hurriedly said, "The Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus will naturally be handed over as promised. However, this herb is precious and has always been preserved in the marquis family. It's indeed not by my side. However, don't worry. I'll get Yao'er to go back and retrieve it."
Gu Yundong sneered. "It's not by your side…" Her tone was slow and meaningful.
Marquis Pingnan's heart skipped a beat. He had a nagging feeling that she was implying something.
But in the next moment, Gu Yundong's gaze turned and landed on Han Ying. "Alright, the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus can wait a little longer. What about the other condition? Miss Han, you can at least kneel down and kowtow to me three times to admit your mistake, right? After all, she's present."
