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

"It's hard for the Duke Gu's Mansion and the Marquis Changping's Mansion to defend the emperor's face in such a humiliating way."

"It's not that difficult actually. I heard that the Queen has bestowed a lot of rewards. I think she is here to support this new Duke's wife."

The more they talked, the more they felt something was wrong, so those few people quickly cleared their throats, changed the subject, and happily followed the other people who joined in the fun to accept the wedding candies and copper coins thrown by the servants of Duke Gu's mansion.

Only Su Sui'an was watching everything that was happening not far away with red eyes. His feet seemed to be nailed in place and he couldn't move even an inch.

Eventually, she was gagged and beaten by the people chased by the old eunuch, and the tendons of her hands and feet were cut, and then she was dragged back like a dead dog, with blood spurting all over the way. She was dragged by the legs like a dog, and her eyes were bloodshot. She looked up unwillingly at the festive red of the Gu Guogong Mansion getting farther and farther away from her, and her mind was full of the gentle eyebrows of Gu Xiuyan who stretched out his hand to welcome the sedan chair...

That night was Gu Xiuyan's wedding night, and she...

The old eunuch who bought her used a candle with a flame to break her virginity...

The pain from that night in her previous life seemed to appear with her nightmare, clinging to her tightly. The pain spread all the way from that place to her lower abdomen, and her consciousness began to gradually drift away from her...

Su Sui'an seemed to have returned to a month ago, when Gu Xiuyan asked her out and returned all the things she had given him.

"I didn't want to arrange a marriage, so I hope Miss Su won't be wishful thinking."

Ah...

Not what you thought?

Since it was not what you wanted, why did you readily agree when the emperor asked for your opinion on the marriage?

It was you who told me to give you three years to slowly accept it...

After three years of engagement, you chose to say such irresponsible words to me just when the wedding date is approaching?

Just for Zhao Qingwan!!

不 ...

No, she had seen Zhao Qingwan when she sneaked into Yumen City. Zhao Qingwan's eyes didn't look like this! !

Liu'er knocked on the door for a long time but Su Suian didn't respond. Instead, she heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

In a moment of desperation, she pushed the door open and walked in.

The first thing I saw was Su Sui'an curled up on the ground like a shrimp.

The muffled sound just now was obviously caused by her falling to the ground.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Su Sui'an's eyes were closed tightly, and her lower lip had already been bitten until it bled.

Liu Er was at a loss for words. "Someone, hurry up and get a doctor."

...

"Liu'er, when will sister wake up?"

"The doctor said it will be soon. How about you go back first, young master?"

"No, my sister is sick and I don't want to leave."

A confused voice came from his ears, and Su Sui'an opened his eyes with difficulty.

I just felt that there was no place in my body that didn't hurt.

The nose seemed to be filled with mud, leaving no space for air.

I opened my mouth to breathe, but my throat felt dry as if it was on fire.

Every breath I took felt like a knife was cutting my throat, and even the breath I exhaled felt hot.

"Cough... cough cough... water..."

The sound died down, and was followed by a burst of messy footsteps.

Soon, Su Sui'an felt a cold little hand on his forehead.

Then came Liu'er's voice.

"Young Master, the young lady has caught a cold and has a fever. Don't get too close to her."

"No, my sister has been out for so many days and didn't let me see her when she came back. If I don't see her again, she won't recognize Chi'er."

During their conversation, Su Sui'an had already drunk a whole glass of warm water.

The dryness in my throat finally subsided.

Only then did she see clearly the little chubby face beside her.

The little chubby face had a frown on his face and his mouth was pouted in dissatisfaction, obviously he was angry.

only...

How come you have such big dark circles under your eyes at such a young age?

and...

Has Chi'er lost weight?

She has not lost a bit of weight. When she went out before, there was a layer of fat on her chin. Now the fat is gone and you can even see her pointed chin.

Su Sui'an was cautious and planned to let Cui Liu secretly inquire after Su Jinchi left to see if the servants in Ruoliyuan had learned their lesson and neglected him while his mother was seriously ill.

Seeing the lively Su Jinchi again, Su Sui'an couldn't help but joked with red eyes, "Oh, whose cabbage stalks did you forget to take away? You can hang two kilograms of cabbage on your pouting little mouth."

"Sister~~" This time, the chubby face became even more puffy.

"If you keep laughing at me like this, I...I won't treat you to candied haws."

After he finished speaking, a string of bright red and translucent candied haws appeared on his little hand as if by magic.

Su Sui'an thought of what Liu'er had just said about the cold, put away his smile, and said soothingly, "Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore, but Liu'er is also doing this for your own good. Be obedient and come to me when I get better."

"I don't." Su Jinchi still insisted on his own idea.

"Chi'er..."

"I don't, I don't..." Su Jinchi simply swayed his body from side to side, just like those disobedient children in the market who were about to throw a tantrum.

I don't know where these bad habits were learned from.

Su Sui'an rubbed his sore brows tiredly.

"Su Jinchi!"

Her voice was hoarse and a little harsh.

His original intention was just to prevent Chi'er from getting too close to him to avoid catching a cold.

But when she met those big eyes with distinct black and white and saw those innocent eyes begin to fill with tears, she finally softened her tone, "The cold can really infect you, and it's very uncomfortable... cough cough... Be obedient and go back first. I'll take you out to play when you're better, okay?"

Su Sui'an's original intention was to coax her brother to prevent him from catching a cold, but when she heard what she said, the little guy, who had tears in his eyes just now, actually started crying.

"I don't, I don't...Sister, Chi'er doesn't want to leave. Chi'er wants to stay here and watch over you until you can get out of bed. I don't want you to be like mother, who drank those bitter medicines and couldn't even get out of bed...Wuwuwu..."

Chi'er seemed to be very frightened, and her crying was very loud and piercing.

This made Su Sui'an and Liu'er panic.

The master and servant looked at each other, and Liu'er understood. She immediately walked to the door to see if there was anyone around, and then closed the door.

Su Sui'an didn't care whether it was contagious or not at this moment, and quickly took Su Jinchi into her arms and coaxed her gently, "Okay, Chi'er, be good, don't cry, I'm here, don't be afraid... Tell me if someone bullied you, I'll help you teach those people a lesson."

As soon as the words came out, Su Jinchi's body quickly tensed up.

Su Sui'an sensed something was wrong, so he pulled Su Jinchi away and made them look at him, successfully catching the thick, almost indissoluble fear in his eyes.

"Chi'er, what's wrong with you? What are you afraid of? Tell me what happened, okay?"
