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

Seeing that the two maids were about to hug Su Sui'an and cry out of heartache, Su Sui'an had to change the subject.

"Okay, it's just a dream, we just need to be careful and not let the things in the dream happen.

Now is not the time to cry, we still have a lot to do. If you cry any more, it will be dark soon."

The sound of rain is still falling outside.

It covered up the voices of the master and servants in the house.

After crying for a while, the two maids finally stopped sobbing.

The sky was gloomy. Su Sui'an asked Liu'er to light the lamp and asked Mei'er, "What time is it now?"

"Miss, you have probably slept for half an hour. It's not yet noon yet." Mei'er helped Su Sui'an sit up.

After sleeping for half an hour, Su Sui'an felt that his confused mind had regained some clarity.

Thinking of what Mei'er mentioned before going to bed, Su Sui'an was startled and immediately turned around and instructed Liu'er, "Liu'er, take some change and go to the market to find a few inconspicuous gossipers to linger in the famous teahouses in Luojing City. Tell them that my room was robbed and things were stolen, and the servants were severely punished. Remember..."

"Do it secretly, so no one knows it was you who did it."

Liu Er continued Su Sui'an's words with a smile. When she turned to leave, she heard Su Sui'an add behind her, "Ding Dagui, the gatekeeper at the side door, had a grandson a few days ago. Take a small gold lock from my private vault and give it to him."

"Yes."

After Liu'er left, Su Sui'an instructed Mei'er with an apologetic look.

"I'll ask you to put on Huxi and kneel outside for an hour to let the people in the mansion know that I found something missing from the room."

Mei'er didn't care about the punishment of kneeling, but was curious, "Miss, they did it so secretly just to avoid being discovered by us. If we suddenly make a big fuss now, won't we alert them?"

Su Sui'an's clear eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "Just to alert the enemy."

How can they cause chaos if we don't push them?

Make more mistakes, it's good to scare them.

Not many people knew that she had sneaked out of the border, and she was very curious about who told them about her past with Gu Xiuyan and took advantage of this opportunity...

If they had the guts to use her things to deceive Gu Xiuyan, then they must have the ability to bear the consequences.

Since Gu Xiuyan is so easy to deceive, let them be happy for a while.

The wedding date is less than half a month away, and she is curious about what means Gu Xiuyan will use to force her to cancel the engagement. After knowing the truth, she will wonder whether he likes the jade pendant or Zhao Qingwan.

Mei'er's speed was very impressive, and she "confessed" a lot of names to Su Sui'an in no time.

Soon, the news that Mei'er and Su Sui'an's room's second-class maids and servant girls were punished to kneel in the rain for several hours because they failed to guard the room properly, which led to theft, spread among the gossipy old women in the second room.

At the beginning of the evening, the heavy rain still did not stop.

An ebony carriage carved with animal totems drove in through the rain and stopped in front of the Treasure Pavilion.

Not long after, a slender hand came out from the door and stepped on the doormat that had been prepared in the Treasure Pavilion.

Cong Ming wore a straw raincoat and held an umbrella for Gu Xiuyan.

Although he tried very hard, the moisture from the rain still couldn't avoid hitting Gu Xiuyan.

Before Gu Xiuyan entered the Treasure Pavilion, he heard the sound of a frightened horse behind him.

Gu Xiuyan stopped and without looking back, he heard the apology of the man who frightened the horse behind him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I was just in a hurry..."

"It's okay, just be careful next time." The guard driving the carriage did not make things too difficult for the man.

It was just a small incident that did not cause any bad impact. Gu Xiuyan did not take it seriously and was about to walk into the Treasure Pavilion.

The voice of the apologetic man was heard again, "Alas, your master is such a good man. He is not like the young lady from the second room of the Marquis of Changping Mansion, who made a big fuss over losing a little toy from her childhood, and made all the delicate maids in the whole yard kneel down as punishment in such a heavy rain..."

After learning about Su Sui'an's actions from other people, Gu Xiuyan sneered and said nothing.

There was an unconcealable mockery in Cong Ming's eyes.

"This second young lady of the Changping Marquis's Mansion is indeed domineering."

After saying this, he seemed to feel something was wrong and glanced at his master cautiously. Seeing that his master was not displeased at all, his heart slowly settled down.

Fortunately, the master doesn't like that domineering and crazy woman.

When the two arrived at the agreed box, Su Qishun had already prepared tea.

"Marquis Changping." Gu Xiuyan stepped forward and nodded slightly to Su Qishun.

Su Qishun forced a smile and pushed one of the cups of brewed tea in front of Gu Xiuyan, looking as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"Your Majesty, don't be nervous. I came to see you today just to confirm a few things."

Su Qishun's lips moved slightly, as if he couldn't bear it.

"Since the Marquis is about to marry my niece, he should prepare for the wedding properly. It's really not right..."

As he said this, he sighed again, "It's also my useless daughter's fault. If I hadn't discovered it in time yesterday, I'm afraid..."

Before Su Qishun finished speaking, Congming, who was standing behind Gu Xiuyan, had already thrown his doubts to Su Qishun, "But the news that Miss Su was teased and cried when she returned home yesterday has already spread all over Luojing..."

"From Ming."

Gu Xiuyan's slightly displeased voice interrupted Cong Ming's question.

Cong Ming immediately apologized to Su Qishun and shut up.

"Please continue, sir."

Gu Xiuyan's expression didn't change from beginning to end. Su Qishun lost most of his confidence, but his face was still that of a loving father who loved his daughter.

"Back then, Wan'er's biological parents died on the battlefield to save my second brother. My second brother sent someone to bring her back from Yumen City. I'm sure the young master knows that when Wan'er entered the mansion, she was only thirteen years old..."

Gu Xiuyan paused as he rubbed the teacup. "So, Miss lived in Yumen City before she was thirteen?"

Su Qishun nodded, his eyes slightly red, as if he was suppressing some emotion, "Yes, that silly child, she said at the beginning that she had saved a little brother at the border, but we didn't know it at that time, until the Lantern Festival of that year, when the emperor's marriage decree came down and you visited the Changping Marquis's Mansion, that silly girl recognized you.

Over the years, she has been reluctant to get married, saying that she wants to wait until her cousin gets married before she gets married, but in fact, my wife and I both understand that she wants to see you get married before she gives up..."

At this point, Su Qishun's voice seemed to be choked with emotion, "If it wasn't because she almost did something stupid yesterday, I wouldn't have known that my niece had such great malice towards her..."

"What do you mean by that?" Gu Xiuyan blurted out without any hesitation, "Did the fake daughter of the second house embarrass her?"
