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

"The people have already gone in."

In a pavilion overlooking the lake in Ruoli Garden, a young man who looked like a scholar came up to Rong Xian and whispered while he was checking accounts with him.

Rong Xian nodded slightly, returning to his look as if anyone could round or flatten him.

When Su Sui'an passed by, he happened to see Rong Xian and another scholar working seriously on their accounts.

These days, the people arranged by the Ninth Prince were all living in the servants' rooms in Tingyu Cottage that were not burned down.

Thinking of how Su Xinhe's aunt had taken the initiative to take Su Xinhe to return the money that Su Xinhe owed and compensated for all the things she had gotten from the second house over the years, she instructed Liu'er, "I'm sorry to bother Master Rong and the others these days. Please ask the small kitchen to prepare a special meal for the people sent by the Ninth Prince these two days."

Liu Er retreated in response.

Su Sui'an walked towards the pavilion.

"...In order to retrieve the Fuyao Hall and Shoukang Hall in the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, we need to borrow the power of the Ninth Prince..."

Before he even got close, Su Sui'an heard the scholar whispering suggestions to Rong Xian, and the tone of his voice was indescribably respectful.

She knew this scholar.

His name was Zhang Jiuqian, and he was an aide to Murong Qi.

The prince's staff is so respectful to Rong Xian...

For some reason, Su Sui'an felt a little guilty when facing Rong Xian.

"What are you talking about?"

Hearing Su Sui'an's voice, the two people who were discussing seemed to have just realized Su Sui'an's existence and hurriedly stood up to salute.

Stopped by Su Sui'an.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you these days. No need to be so polite."

"Jiu Qian suddenly remembered that Madam said today that there are still some account books that need to be rechecked, so I will take my leave first."

Zhang Jiuqian left suddenly.

For a moment, only Rong Xian and Su Sui'an were left in the pavilion.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"you..."

"Don't worry, Miss Su. The origin of the jade token is absolutely official and will not cause you any trouble."

Su Sui'an had just started talking when Rong Xian, with red ears, spoke to her.

"I'm not asking about the jade token. I want to ask you, are you hot?"

Su Sui'an stretched out her hand as a fan and stood by to fan him, as if this could blow away her guilt for taking advantage of him.

"Look at your ears, they're so red."

Rong Xian quickly stood up, at a loss, "It's okay... Xiao... Xiaosheng..."

Because of his anxiety, his narrow eyes were filled with moisture and he even spoke haltingly.

Poor child, he was probably frightened by the Ninth Prince.

Su Sui'an pondered in his heart and softened his voice a little.

"Don't worry. You helped me a lot by giving me the jade token. I won't tell the Ninth Prince."

Seeing Rong Xian's eyes on her, she nodded even more, and touched her conscience to assure Rong Xian, "I am not someone who doesn't know how to be grateful. When the jade token is used up, I will return it intact. If the Ninth Prince embarrasses you because of this, I will not let you live on the streets again."

In a word, it was a promise to him, and also to soothe her guilt towards him.

"Miss Su, I..."

"I understand," Su Sui'an raised his hand towards Rong Xian and interrupted him with a look of understanding, "Don't be afraid. If you are really wronged, although I can't confront the Ninth Prince head-on, I can still use some tricks to get you out of his clutches."

Rong Xian lowered his eyes, lowered his eyelashes to hide the complex emotions in his eyes, and said softly, "Thank you, young lady."

"As it should be."

After giving Rong Xian the assurance, Su Sui'an's uneasy conscience finally settled down.

Seeing Liu'er hurriedly walking towards the pavilion, she smiled at Rongxian and said, "I'm really sorry for troubling you these days. When we successfully leave Changping Marquis Mansion and move to the new house, I'll treat you to a drink."

When she finished speaking, Liu'er had already walked not far from the pavilion. She could just go out of the pavilion and meet up with Liu'er.

Rong Xian's originally lowered gaze fell on her the moment Su Sui'an turned around. He watched her reunite with Liu'er, and then go back to Ruoliyuan with Liu'er one after the other.

"...I am looking forward to what tricks you will use to save me from the jaws of death, Sui Sui."

His voice was so light, so soft, and so tender, but it disappeared without a trace in the breeze.

...

"Are you sure your message came back correct?"

When they returned to their residence, Su Sui'an almost grabbed Liu'er by the collar, so that she could tell him all the news she knew.

Liu'er nodded, unable to hide her excitement.

"I heard it clearly. Qingxi, the little maid from Fuyao Hall, did say that. It is said that after the old woman left, the Marquis' wife took the things in the room and smashed them all over again."

"You actually smashed something?"

Su Sui'an knew a little about the Hong family.

Over the years, although the Changping Marquis Mansion has always been subsidized by the second house, Hong herself also attaches great importance to the appearance of the Changping Marquis Mansion. Knowing that the situation of the Duke's family is difficult, she has always cherished everything in the mansion.

It got smashed twice today in one day.

I guess he was really angry.

"Where did that woman come from?"

"I don't know," Liu'er answered truthfully, "Qingxi couldn't find out other details, but it must be related to that young lady."

Liu Er pursed her lips, "When this young lady came back from Yumen City, everyone knew that her parents were the master's saviors, but the marquis took her away and kept her under his name, and the marquis took all the credit. At that time, I thought the marquis' wife was sensible, and kept anyone under her name for the sake of her husband's reputation. Now it seems that there are probably other hidden secrets that we don't know about."

"Isn't it?" Mei'er said.

While Liu'er was talking non-stop, Su Sui'an had already connected everything in his mind.

Qin Qing, Zhao Qingwan, Su Qishun, Hong...

What Liu'er didn't know was that before Hong gave birth to Su Jinhao, even though she had Su Jincheng as an adopted son under her name, she still had never given up on having a child.

In order to have a child of her own, Hong suffered a lot.

Coincidentally, Zhao Qingwan became pregnant not long after being kept by Hong.

Hong, who originally didn't like Zhao Qingwan very much, became much better to her after Su Jinhao came into her life...

During this period, Su Qishun’s operations were definitely indispensable.

In this way, the possibility that Zhao Qingwan is Su Qishun's daughter is almost 100%.

However, many people also knew the news that Zhao Qingwan was going to be sent back.

If the Zhao Qingwan in the Marquis' Mansion now is a fake, then where is the real Zhao Qingwan? Is she dead or alive?
