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

Before she could finish her words, her world fell into endless darkness.

The darkness was like a swallowing abyss that trapped her tightly inside.

No matter how she struggled, she couldn't...

The nightmare struck her, and she seemed to have returned to the dark purgatory of her previous life...

The old eunuch's men cut the tendons of her hands and feet and tortured her for some time. Then they saw that there was a deathly stillness in her eyes. No matter what they did to her, she looked like a dead fish with no emotion or joy. So they gradually lost interest in her.

It happened that at that time, the old eunuch's master lost a large number of his assassins, and needed the old eunuch to help him find a group of suitable people to be assassins. The old eunuch was tired of Su Sui'an, so he threw Su Sui'an to the assassin camp at night.

In the Yuan Dynasty, there was also a strict assessment system for death warriors. If they failed the assessment, they would have no choice but to die.

Su Sui'an had a foundation in martial arts, but unfortunately the tendons in her hands and feet were broken. Even after she recovered, she was unable to lift a gun or a sword, and her martial arts skills were greatly reduced.

In order to fill the gap, the old eunuch asked her to learn how to throw hidden weapons and how to torture people.

She once tried to shoot an arrow through the target from a hundred paces away on horseback.

Such eyesight brought great convenience to her throwing hidden weapons later, and also provided her with the confidence to escape from the control of the old eunuch later...

Later, she gained new favor because of her familiarity with various harsh and cruel interrogation methods...

In a blink of an eye, Su Sui'an seemed to see himself reborn with blood on his hands, using silver needles as hidden weapons, and piercing the enemy's fatal points...

hot...

So hot...

Su Sui'an's whole body was burning hot, and scenes from his past and present lives kept rotating.

In a trance, she felt a slender hand with thin calluses covering her forehead. Then, her jaw tightened and her mouth was opened by a force. A pill with a strong medicinal aroma rolled into her throat and melted in her mouth. The feeling of being burned by the stove slowly dissipated, and the feeling of panic in her heart also dissipated.

Consciousness gradually becomes clear.

As she was about to open her eyes, she seemed to smell a refreshing scent of agarwood lingering around her nose, and also heard a faint sigh -

"It's really a waste of energy to waste your energy when your soul and body are not stable. It's really a waste of life."

...

Outside the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion.

A tall figure in a plain waisted robe flew out from the palace wall and landed lightly without raising even a speck of dust.

"I was wondering why you came back so secretly and didn't let anyone know. It turns out you hid Jiao in the Marquis of Changping's mansion."

A nonchalant voice sounded behind me.

Rong Xian turned around and looked at the person who spoke. The cold expression on his face was totally inconsistent with his beautiful and youthful face.

"What are you here for?"

His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

The person who was speaking looked like a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old. His tall nose was somewhat similar to his, and he also had a bit of the noble bearing that was unique to those in a higher position.

Seeing that Rongxian was unhappy, the boy visibly became timid.

"I saw from afar that there seemed to be a fire in the backyard of the Changping Marquis's Mansion, and even the surrounding people were alarmed. Can't I join in the fun?"

Rong Xian sneered, "Everything is rushed forward..."

"If you keep pushing things forward, I will only know more information." Seeing that Rong Xian was not really angry, the young man interrupted Rong Xian's next words with a smile, walked forward, tiptoed, put his arm around his shoulders and led him to the other side of the gate of Changping Marquis Mansion, "Since you are here, come on, I will take you to watch the fun."

...

Changpinghou Mansion.

Bichi Pavilion.

After hearing the servants report that the fire in Tingyu Cottage had been put out and the two thieves had been captured, Su Qishun finally let go of the heavy stone in his heart and slapped Zhao Qingwan in the face with his backhand.

"Who told you to act rashly? Do you know what the consequences would be if Duke Gu's Mansion knew about this?"

Zhao Qingwan was caught off guard for a moment, and she spun around and fell to the ground, with her left face instantly turning red.

Listening to Su Qishun's speech, Zhao Qingwan covered her face with her hands and looked at Su Qishun pitifully.

"Father..."

After hearing the gentle and soft name mixed with a feeling of grievance, and then seeing the face that was almost identical to his beloved's except for the eyes, even the appearance and expression were almost the same, Su Qishun's heart softened for no reason, and even his anger mostly dissipated.

He helped Zhao Qingwan up in annoyance and softened his tone, "Father has arranged everything. It will only take about ten days. If you keep your mind calm, you can marry into the Duke Gu's mansion in style."

Zhao Qingwan cried bitterly, "Father, the night is long and dreams are many. Who knows if there will be any changes in the next half month? Mother and daughter have been unknown and without status in the outside world for more than ten years. We have never asked for those so-called arrangements as you said. For mother and daughter, as long as father can be safe and smooth, we will be satisfied."

"When you sent someone to tell us that you were going to take my daughter back to the Marquis' Mansion, my daughter and I were so happy, thinking that you could finally do what you wanted."

"I didn't expect that when my daughter came back, she would find out that her father was also having such a hard time in the Marquis' Mansion."

Zhao Qingwan's tears fell one by one, becoming more and more dense. Soon, the tears formed a continuous tear mark on her face.

"Every time I hear people outside talking about our Changping Marquisate, saying that my father's title was inherited by my second uncle, I feel sorry for my father.

People nowadays only remember that Su Kang from the second branch of the Marquis of Changping's Mansion was a military genius. Who can still remember that you, father, are the legitimate son of the Marquis of Changping's Mansion?

My daughter did this not because she cared whether her marriage could be successful, but just to prevent the second wife from having the upper hand over our first wife.

Our Marquis' Mansion has no connection with the Prince of Dingbei's Mansion, and the chance of marrying the Prince of Dingbei is almost zero. The Duke Gu's Mansion is the best choice for the Marquis of Changping's Mansion to form a marriage alliance.

If Su Sui'an is allowed to successfully marry into the Duke Gu's mansion, then you, father, will be completely trampled under the feet of your second uncle. Whenever I think of how you were ostracized in the court because of your second uncle's vicious intention of asking for an imperial decree to inherit the title for you, my daughter's heart aches.

Father, you are also a unique and beautiful gentleman, one of a kind in the world."

Every word Zhao Qingwan spoke expressed regret, and every sentence was about thinking about Changping Marquis Mansion and Su Qishun, successfully dispelling the last trace of anger in Su Qishun's heart.

The more sadly Zhao Qingwan cried, the more Su Qishun regretted the slap he had just given her.

Finally, he sighed.

"Okay, stop crying. You don't want this to happen."

"I will explain the situation to the boss about those two thieves later..."

"Three." Zhao Qingwan corrected with tears in her eyes, "My daughter knew that Su Sui'an was good at martial arts and was worried that even a bandit could not control her, so she found three bandits..."

I found three thieves, but now only two are screaming outside...

Su Qishun almost felt dizzy.

"You, you..."

Su Qishun's hands were shaking, and he paced back and forth in a state of confusion.

"Looking at the behavior of those two thieves, the Second House must know that you are the one who is looking for them. Now I not only have to explain to the First Householder, but I also have to..."

Before he could finish his words, the housekeeper's urgent call came from outside the Bichi Pavilion.

Su Qishun was angry and his attitude towards the housekeeper Xu Zhong became a little worse.

"what's up?"
