On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

There was a sudden sensation of a foreign body in my ears.

Only then did Su Sui'an realize that his face was already covered with tear marks.

As she slept on her back, the tears flowed into her ears.

She sat up again.

The nose, which had been blocked by tears, suddenly became a little clearer.

The turbid air in my heart seemed to be relieved by the outflow of tears.

Su Sui'an wiped away his tears with his arm across.

Never mind, maybe this is God's will.

Maybe God let her be reborn so that she can let go of all love and never be moved by emotions again.

There are still many things to be done now, and she should not waste time on such sentimental matters.

Thinking of this, she put on her clothes, got out of bed, and started writing.

Soon, a letter was written in a very elegant manner and she called Liu'er.

"Miss."

"Give the letter to Shopkeeper Fu, and ask him to find two reliable people to handle the matter in the letter."

Su Sui'an's tone was calm, but the smile on his lips made Liu'er feel creepy for no reason.

"Miss, you are..."

"It is said that Young Master Gu is ruthless and impartial, so let's let people know how ruthless he is."

Gu Xiuyan looks gentle and decent, but he is actually a cruel official.

Over the years, few of the prisoners in his hands left the Dali Temple intact.

If the Cuihong Garden incident is exposed, I am afraid that many cases will be sent back for retrial. Once there is any trace of Gu Xiuyan's wrongful conviction, he will be in trouble...

It's her fault. She has been on the defensive instead of taking the initiative these days since she came back.

If she had been more proactive, perhaps some tragedies would not have happened.

...

"She wants to kill Gu Xiuyan?"

Fu Jingrong put down the thick book in his hand, on the cover of which he couldn't clearly see what was written.

"Yes, the rumors are almost all about trying to torture Young Master Gu to death..."

Yi Zhi frowned slightly.

"Master, let's..."

"Then give her a helping hand."

"Master, I heard that Young Master Gu came to the palace yesterday to ask the Emperor to cancel the engagement. The Emperor knew that Miss Su had left the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, and he was furious..."

"In the end, Young Master Gu's engagement was cancelled, but he still suffered a bad fate. He was beaten with 20 sticks."

"Let Old Yin treat his injuries well and make sure he doesn't become disabled or die."

Since his Sui Sui wants to do it herself, then let her do it herself.

Seeing the smile on Fu Jingrong's face becoming more and more warm, Yi Fan silently lit candles for Gu Xiuyan.

That evening, the news that Duke Gu had gone to the palace to ask for permission to cancel the engagement spread quickly throughout Luojing.

Along with the news of the broken engagement, the news of the fire at Cuihong Garden also spread throughout Luojing.

Old Madam Gu was so angry that she threw the incense burner to the ground.

"That idiot."

"Madam, what should we do now?"

The voice of Nanny Li beside her brought Madam Gu back to her senses.

Her expression quickly returned to calm.

He twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand and moved them slowly.

"It's just nonsense. Let the people say it. Facts speak louder than words. When the truth comes out, they will be punished for their bad words."

After a pause, she asked again, "Where is the young master now?"

Nanny Li looked at Old Madam Gu, who had white hair and wrinkles on her face.

Even though Madam Gu was trying very hard to suppress her emotions, her trembling eyebrows still betrayed her uneasy mood.

Knowing that if she continued to conceal the truth, no one would be happy. Nanny Li took a deep breath, then knelt in front of Old Madam Gu and spoke tremblingly, "Young Master... was beaten with 20 sticks yesterday for asking to cancel the engagement, and he is still lying in bed."

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu's eyes widened and she threw the jade beads in her hand onto the altar.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Changpinghou Mansion.

When Zhao Qingwan heard that Gu Xiuyan was willing to break off the engagement even at the cost of being beaten, she was in a very good mood and even ate half a bowl of rice more for dinner.

"Congratulations, miss. You finally got what you wished for." Jiaoyue complimented.

Qiyue was also full of joy, "Young Master Gu must have broken off the engagement this time for Miss."

Zhao Qingwan was in a good mood and wanted to take off the pair of silver bracelets on her hands and give them to the two maids. However, considering that the Changping Marquis' Mansion was now run by the stingy old lady Liang, who would deduct her monthly salary even if one of them broke a porcelain cup, she finally just smiled and nodded to the two of them.

After sending Jiaoyue and Qiuyue away, Zhao Qingwan sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror and drew her eyebrows.

My heart has already flown to that handsome man.

A maid called "Madam" softly from outside the door.

Zhao Qingwan quickly stood up and welcomed the young woman who was walking outside into the house, "Mother..."

Qin Qing raised her hand and made a gesture to silence her, "Keep your voice down. I came here this time because I know you got what you wanted, so I'll give you something to chew."

As he spoke, Qin Qing took out a small stack of silver bills from his sleeve pocket like a magic trick.

Zhao Qingwan's eyes widened, "Where did mother's banknotes come from?"

"Don't worry about that," Qin Qing looked at Zhao Qingwan with a serious face, "Remember, this time, you can only succeed, not fail."

Zhao Qingwan nodded confidently, "Don't worry, mother."

...

Midday on the moon.

Changping Marquis Mansion, Fuyao Hall.

The Fuyao Hall, which used to be finely crafted, is now deserted.

There was no one to clean up the fallen leaves.

Hong's hair was disheveled. She was holding a rag doll that had been wrapped up in patina, and she was muttering to herself.

"My poor Hao'er, I'm sorry for you..."

"It was that bitch Su Sui'an who harmed me, and it was that unfaithful man Su Qishun who harmed me..."

"No, the Marquis of Changping Mansion is full of thieves, liars, and ghosts..."

Her every move was seen by the people on the roof.

Rong Xian winked at the person next to him.

The latter nodded slightly at him, and the two of them immediately flew away.

Just as there was no sound when Tathagata came, the two of them left quietly, without even a single leaf being left behind.

...

Su Mansion.

Rong Xian changed out of his nightgown, sat at the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Master, the prince is coming back to Beijing soon, we really don't need to..."

Rong Xian gently stroked the porcelain cup in his hand, as if he had thought of something, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Need not."

"But once the prince returns to the capital, the princess's identity will definitely not be kept secret for long."

"How long we can keep it a secret is up to me. You just need to protect her in the Su residence."

Rong Xian placed the porcelain cup heavily on the table.

The features of the man in front of him were still the same gentle and innocent features of that young boy, but in just a moment, Yi Zhi felt endless pressure.

Even the slightly immature features in front of him had become more dignified.

Yi Zhi nodded respectfully, "Yi Fan has recently sent back a lot of useful information. Combined with the clues Miss Su gave us before, the captured bandit leader has also confessed. Now we can say that everything is ready. We are just waiting for the prince and General Su to come to Beijing together."

"it is good."

Rong Xian's eyes were focused on the void, and a cold smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth. "At this time, let's first give the Changping Marquis Mansion an appetizer to whet their appetite."
