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

If he had known that trouble for Su Qishun would bring him so much trouble, he would never have gone to the Marquis of Changping's Mansion on that day.

At this moment he was like a mad monkey, dancing in weird postures because of fear.

Unfortunately, he was still injured and lacked energy, so he fell to the ground like a dead dog before he could dance for long.

Outside the ruined temple, there were several masked men in black holding swords, looking at him as if he were a dead man.

The surroundings were silent.

Only his heavy breathing was left.

Every time he took a breath of air, he felt like his eyes were going to go dark...

"How much do you know about Zhao Qingwan's affairs? Su Qishun is not the old marquis's flesh and blood. In fact, you have known about it for a long time, right?"

The man's voice sounded again.

Hong Xiru's psychological defenses had already collapsed, and he no longer cared about pretending to be tough.

"Yes, yes, sir, what do you want to ask? I'll tell you everything."

At this time, Hong Xiru had long lost the dignified look he had at the beginning when he would rather die than leave.

In this day and age, integrity can’t be used to make a living, so what’s the point of having integrity? !

Half an hour later.

"I didn't expect the prince to be so naughty."

In the carriage, Su Sui'an leaned lazily on the cushion.

Not long ago, Fu Jingrong tortured Hong Xiru into a confession, and Su Suian watched it all from beginning to end.

Su Sui'an was surprised that Hong Xiru also knew that Su Qishun was not the old marquis's biological child.

only...

Once a secret is told, more and more people will know about it...

"Aren't you afraid that Hong Xiru will suddenly bite back and catch you off guard?"

Fu Jingrong took off his mask and gently placed it on the small table in the carriage.

"Hong Xiru has never been the main character. As long as he can lead to what I want, it's enough."

In this respect, their purposes are surprisingly similar.

Fu Jingrong wants to deal with Prince Yun.

One of Su Sui'an's ultimate goals is to catch Prince Yun.

It can be said that they have reached the same destination through different paths.

Su Sui'an no longer hesitated.

He coughed twice, but the fatigue between his brows could not be concealed no matter what.

In fact, she was already very tired the moment Fu Jingrong's men intercepted Hong Xiru on the cliff.

Her injuries were serious in her lungs.

Too little sleep is detrimental to lung recovery.

It's been such a hassle today.

Su Sui'an felt that he could sleep for three days and three nights when he returned.

No, she doesn't have to go back, she can do it now.

If it weren't for the fact that there was another person in the carriage...

And a bit cold...

As soon as the thought came to her mind, she felt a weight on her shoulders.

A fox fur coat with a refreshing and aquatic fragrance seemed to have grown wings and flew onto her shoulders.

"If you are tired, just close your eyes and take a rest. I am here."

Su Sui'an just smiled and said nothing.

After watching so many plays today, she was already tired.

but...

She couldn't sleep because he was around, okay?

Turned to look at Fu Jingrong.

He looks like a deadly demon when he wears the mask, but when he takes it off, people can't be afraid of him.

What a contradictory existence.

For some reason, Su Sui'an thought of everything that happened in the Changping Marquis Mansion tonight.

The third prince thought that he could scare Hong Xiru to death with this shock.

But how could he know that intellectuals are not tough in other aspects except their temper.

Hong Xiru gave in to Fu Jingrong this time, for fear that he would not dare to cause trouble for Fu Jingrong in the future and would blame the third prince.

If this matter gets to the old master's ears, I'm afraid...

"Tomorrow's court session will definitely be exciting. It's a pity that Miss Su can't go and watch it in person."

Fu Jingrong's voice sounded again.

Su Sui'an curled his lips lightly, "Prince, please read it and tell Sui'an, it will be the same."

Fu Jingrong curled his lips and chuckled, giving her the first genuine smile of the day.

...

Duke Gu’s Mansion.

The dull sound of a heavy object hitting the wall and falling to the ground broke the silence of the night.

"Why did you only come to inform me now when such a big thing happened?"

Gu Xiuyan tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, fearing that he might accidentally kill Cong Hui.

Ever since he found out that he had an "old acquaintance" with Sui Sui An and that he had mistaken the wrong person, Gu Xiuyan has been frequently distracted while handling official duties these days.

If it weren't for Old Madam Gu using the century-old foundation of Duke Gu's Mansion as a threat, I'm afraid Gu Xiuyan would have been eager to take root and stationed directly next to the Su residence outside the capital.

Cong Hui quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Please forgive me, Master."

Of course he didn't dare say it.

The old lady of the mansion has already issued a death order, if anyone dares to reveal the news about the Su residence outside the suburbs of Beijing, he will be beaten to death...

Since he had not yet helped his master fulfill his long-cherished wish, Cong Hui naturally did not dare to offend the old lady.

Seeing Cong Hui's timid look, how could Gu Xiuyan not understand?

grandmother...

Grandma again...

He closed his eyes tiredly, and when he opened them again, the light in his eyes that he had at the beginning was gone.

"Cong Hui, have I ever doubted you over the years?"

Cong Hui lowered his head and said, "No."

Gu Xiuyan tried to calm down his anger and said in a calm tone, "But you guys even hid this kind of thing from me. If I hadn't closed the case and returned home early, and hadn't accidentally heard the news outside the suburbs of Beijing, would you have planned not to tell me a single word?"

Cong Hui didn't say anything else.

Silence means everything.

Gu Xiuyan took another deep breath, "Well, have you found out where they live now?"

Cong Hui continued to shake his head.

"After I found out that Miss Su had lost her trace, I also asked the residents nearby about the whereabouts of Madam Su and Young Master Su, but I only got vague answers. No one knew where Madam Su and Young Master Su were. Even the empty Su residence was left with only some undried bloodstains, not a single clue left..."

It’s not like he didn’t try.

But no matter how hard he searched, every time he finally found a clue, it was as if a huge hand followed him and broke the clue, leaving him with no idea where to start.

It was as if everyone in Su's house had evaporated overnight...

Gu Xiuyan's thin lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something, but a black-clad secret guard appeared silently in front of him and knelt respectfully in front of Gu Xiuyan.

"Young Master, Prince Dingbei and General Su are back and will be heading to the capital tomorrow."

Going to Beijing tomorrow?

Gu Xiuyan suddenly stood up from his seat, his heart pounding.

"Why is it that such a big thing has only just been reported now?"

The secret guard bowed his head in guilt, "I failed to do my job, I hope the master will punish me."
