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

"In that case, can I have my servants arrange accommodation for you later? As for the relatives you are looking for, tell my people and I will send someone to help you find them later."

After she finished speaking, she did not give the young man a chance to object. She turned around and gave the driver a few instructions. She left the driver alone, paid the old doctor for the medicine, and walked towards the inner city with Liu'er.

For Su Sui'an, this person had no ill will towards her. It didn't matter what he was called, what he did, or what his purpose was. As long as he could be of use to her recently, that was all that mattered.

Along the way, Su Sui'an would occasionally run into one or two people who were just watching the fun.

When faced with those people who said that she was kind-hearted and asked her if she was worried about being cheated of money by the boy, Su Sui'an just smiled and said, "It is a fact that my people met him. Besides, what does it matter whether he cheated me of money or not? It's still a human life at stake."

The national conditions and customs of the Yuan Dynasty were not as oppressive as those of the previous dynasties, and the separation of men and women was not as strict as that of the previous dynasties. Therefore, the people were not surprised to see women from wealthy families dressed as men walking on the street.

When people see such an approachable girl from a noble family for the first time, they are always deeply impressed.

"Oh, she is humble and kind, what a rare good girl."

At the other end, there was the back hall of a simple little clinic.

Before Su Sui'an left, the pale-faced boy stood up weakly, took the wet wipes handed over by the old doctor, turned around and wiped off the pale powder on his face.

Next to the young man stood a cold-faced man holding a sword, looking expressionlessly at the people of different ages in front of him, "If someone comes to you, do you know what to say?"

Several people, including Su Sui'an's driver, nodded in agreement.

...

Before returning home, Su Sui'an specifically asked Liu'er to go back first to talk to Mei'er and see how Mei'er had done recently.

When Liu'er came back, it was already dark.

"Miss, Mei'er overheard the maid at Cuiheyuan's place saying that she had heard Yuejiao let slip that some noble person was planning to return to the capital soon, and Miss wanted to create an encounter..."

Hearing the news brought back by Liu Er, Su Sui'an frowned slightly...

Your Excellency...

The nobleman who recently returned to Beijing...

In her previous life, her life began to fall into darkness at this point, and she did not pay much attention to this aspect.

But as far as she knew, there seemed to be no one more suitable to be called a noble returning to the capital except the Dingbei King's family.

But in the previous life, the Dingbei King's family seemed to be involved in a treason case two years later, and it seemed that they did not have a good ending...

Su Sui'an's brows furrowed more and more, and he racked his brains to recall the bits and pieces of information he had heard about the Dingbei Palace in the past two lifetimes.

After a moment, she learned some information about the Dingbei Palace from her fragmentary memories.

Prince Dingbei Fu Huai is the elder brother of the current queen.

It has been nearly twenty years since the Dingbei King and his family left Beijing.

Prince Dingbei is now fifty years old and has been married to Princess Dingbei for thirty years. Although they quarrel all the time and seem to dislike each other, the Dingbei Palace has not had any concubines or maids over the years, and Prince Dingbei does not even have a maidservant.

King Dingbei also has a son, who was named the Crown Prince when he was born. I think his name is something...

Su Sui'an forgot.

But she had not heard of any news of death from the Dingbei Palace in these years, which meant that the prince was not dead yet.

According to the fact that the Prince of Dingbei was only three years old when he left Luojing, he should be twenty-three years old now that he has returned to Beijing. It is obvious that Zhao Qingwan's goal is to meet the Prince of Dingbei by chance...

But this reason is different from what she found in her previous life...

Seems a little different...

In the previous life, Zhao Qingwan had clearly planned to plot against her...

"Mei'er also said," Liu'er's voice brought Su Sui'an back to his senses.

By the time Su Sui'an reacted, Liu'er had already leaned close to her ear and lowered her voice even lower, "The eldest lady came back in a mess at dusk."

"Are you back?" A detail so fast that it was almost impossible to catch flashed through Su Sui'an's mind. Su Sui'an looked at Liu'er, who nodded seriously.

"She ran to the old lady crying without even changing her clothes."

For fear that Su Sui'an would not believe her, Liu'er nodded vigorously several times.

Su Sui'an lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. When Liu'er was about to speak to remind her, she instructed Liu'er, "Liu'er, don't go back home yet. Go and do something for me."

No matter who Zhao Qingwan's target is, she will nip this seedling in the bud.

Not only that, she also has to solve the current problem, and...

With my father and brother.

...

Due to Su Sui'an's deliberate delay, by the time she returned to the Changping Marquis Mansion, the dusk had already gathered into a thick black.

Before he could reach the courtyard of Su Sui'an's second house, he was stopped by a servant.

"Second Miss, the old lady wants to see you."

The old marquis was not interested in women, and the relationships within the Marquis of Changping's mansion were not complicated. Apart from the main wife of the eldest house, the two concubines and the two illegitimate daughters of the concubines, there were only two young ladies and three young masters in the two main houses.

One was Zhao Qingwan, the thirteen-year-old adopted daughter of the eldest wife who was raised by Su Qishun, and the other was Su Sui'an. Zhao Qingwan was one month older than Su Sui'an and was also an adopted daughter of the eldest wife who was highly valued, so the servants naturally called Su Sui'an the second lady.

Over the years, it has been no secret that Su Kang, the second master of the Su family, is the adopted son of the old Marquis of Changping.

When the old marquis brought Su Kang back from an old couple, his wife felt that Su Kang was particularly pleasing to the eye, so she adopted him as her own son. She treated Su Kang with almost as much attention as her own legitimate son Su Qishun, and after Su Qishun got married, she officially made Su Kang the second wife of the marquisate.

Therefore, even though the old marquis and his wife had passed away one after another over the years, Su Kang had made great military achievements at the border, but he had always been humble in front of the eldest wife.

Grateful for the care and concern of the old marquis and his wife, the second house had almost no guard against the first house.

Su Kang survived many dangers and gained four military achievements. Except for the first time when he was awarded the title of Weiyong General by the Emperor, the other three times were used to help his elder brother Su Qishun inherit the title, to ask for a decree for Liang after Su Qishun begged and persuaded him to use the reputation of the deceased marquis and his wife, and the last time, to get Su Sui'an a marriage that was perfect in everyone's eyes.

At that time, the whole Luojing knew that Su Sui'an, the eldest daughter of General Su from the second house of the Marquis of Changping, was in love with Gu Xiuyan, the eldest son of the Duke of Gu.

However, based on her status as the daughter of the adopted son of the Marquis of Changping, Su Sui'an had no chance of marrying up to Gu Xiuyan.

Su Kang loved his daughter dearly, so he asked the emperor to arrange a marriage for Su Sui'an between the second daughter of the Marquis of Changping and the young master of the Duke of Gu.

After being kidnapped by bandits in the previous life, rumors of destroying Su Sui'an's reputation spread everywhere. The Duke Gu's Mansion, which was already dissatisfied with Su Sui'an's low status, was even more disgusted with Su Sui'an. However, due to the imperial decree, they dared not hastily cancel the engagement. Liang personally went to the Duke Gu's Mansion, which was undoubtedly a case of falling asleep and meeting a pillow...

"Second Miss, we have arrived at Shoukang Hall."
