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

The tone was calm and no emotion could be heard.

Su Sui'an sneered, "I just think the prince is too graceful?"

If Hong had not set her sights on Chi'er, Su Sui'an might have spared the life of the young boy Su Jinhao and sent him far away because her father had grown up in the Marquis' Mansion all these years.

Now that Hong wants Chi'er's life, let's use Su Jinhao's life in exchange.

Anyway, after today, they have completely turned against the first wife.

"I have always done things in a decent manner." Fu Jingrong shamelessly took over Su Sui'an's words "grace".

The moment he finished speaking, with a wave of his sleeve, a hidden weapon hit Su Sui'an in the face.

Su Sui'an turned around and grabbed the "hidden weapon" with his two fingers.

The fingertips felt smooth to the touch. Upon closer inspection, Su Sui'an discovered that it was a bamboo tube the size of a knuckle.

"Miss, if you don't have enough manpower, you can send a signal. Although the useless guards I have are not very useful, they can still help with moving things."

It turned out to be a flare.

Su Sui'an did not refuse and put the bamboo tube into his sleeve pocket, "Thank you, my Lord."

It wasn't long before Su Sui'an took Su Jinchi away.

Murong Qi came over again.

"No, brother, why did your people send Gu Xiuyan to my carriage? When a man is hit by that thing, he will look for a woman. You shouldn't have dragged him out at that time..."

Fu Jingrong took off the golden mask on his face, revealing another unfamiliar face.

Murong Qi's complaints about Gu Xiuyan came to an abrupt end, and turned into, "No way, you're wearing a mask, but you're actually disguising yourself? Are you so afraid that she'll recognize your identity?"

He looked at Fu Jingrong's face, which was disguised to look somewhat similar to that of King Dingbei, as if he had seen a ghost.

An expressionless face coupled with a sinister look.

In a trance, Murong Qi seemed to see the uncle whom he had only met a few times.

He is filled with murderous aura, and even ghosts dare not approach him.

"If you involve him now, it will implicate her and cause trouble. If you feel sorry for that boy, just throw him into a brothel to solve your problem. If you are afraid that he will be wronged, then find him a cleaner courtesan."

"You did it on purpose," Murong Qi howled, as if he could already imagine the scene when Gu Xiuyan recovered and was about to chop him with a sword. "I don't care. If Gu Xiuyan gets a hold of me by the pigtail, you have to protect me."

...

The carriage moved steadily towards the Changping Marquis Mansion. Su Sui'an looked at Su Jinchi who had fallen asleep due to exhaustion.

Thoughts surged in my mind.

With Fu Jingrong's help, the first wife shouldn't notice that Chi'er was replaced so quickly.

But this presupposes that Chi'er does not appear in the Marquis' Mansion.

Once Chi Er appears...

Thinking of this, Su Sui'an narrowed his eyes.

He said to Yi Zhi who was driving the carriage outside, "Please, Guard Yi, drop us off at Fuhe Building."

Fuhe Building was only separated from Changlong Pawnshop by an alley, so she had to make arrangements for Chi'er first.

Yi Zhi outside didn't think much about it and obediently followed Su Sui'an's idea and dropped Su Sui'an and his sister off at Fuhe Building.

Next to Fuhe Building is a clothing store.

Su Sui'an first took Su Jinchi to a clothing store and bought each a set of clothes. Then he took the clothes and pretended to pawn them.

The guy sitting at the counter today is still the same guy.

As soon as he saw Su Sui'an and his sister, he hurriedly called Manager Fu.

"Young lady, why did you come out so suddenly today?"

On the day of the thank-you banquet, Shopkeeper Fu was obviously surprised to see Su Sui'an appear in the pawnshop with a little boy.

"This is..."

"This is Chi'er, my brother." Under the excited gaze of Shopkeeper Fu, Su Sui'an briefly introduced Su Jinchi, and told Shopkeeper Fu roughly what had happened in the Marquis' Mansion in the past few days.

The more Shopkeeper Fu listened, the more his brows furrowed.

"Young lady, what are you still doing in that den of wolves?"

"So, we plan to leave overnight, but I don't know what the shopkeeper is doing..."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Fu's expression became stern, "It has been arranged. The young lady can bring the young lady and the young master to stay at any time."

"That's good. Shopkeeper Chi'er Laofu will find two trustworthy people to help deliver it to the house. We will be there tonight."

"Don't worry, young lady. I will protect the young master even at the cost of my own life." Shopkeeper Fu acted with a heroic attitude, as if no one else could do this better than him.

...

When I returned to the Marquis' Mansion, most of the servants were still gathered in the front yard. It seemed that Hong was still entangled with Su Qishun.

Su Sui'an quickly returned to the second house's courtyard.

Just as he approached the Ruoli Garden, Su Sui'an heard the voice of Madam Deng arranging servants to do something -

"Go and look for him in the three small courtyards of Fuyao Hall, Shoukang Hall, and Cuihe Garden. Be sure not to alert the people in the main house."

"Yes."

After all the servants dispersed, Su Sui'an showed up.

"Miss."

When Aunt Deng saw Su Sui'an, she felt like she had found her backbone again and looked at her with hope in her eyes.

"Madam, don't worry." Su Sui'an patted Madam Deng's hand soothingly and glanced into the room. "Where's mother? Is she taking medicine and resting now?"

Nanny Deng shook her head.

"Madam knew that the young master was missing. After she woke up, she kept crying and blaming herself..."

Blaming myself again...

At this moment, Su Sui'an only felt his temples throbbing.

Since his rebirth, Su Sui'an has been paying attention to Ji Lanshuang's emotional changes.

She really discovered that Ji Lanshuang had become indecisive since she fell ill. Once something happened, she didn't think about how to solve it, but got herself into a dead end and kept thinking about it.

Su Sui'an took a deep breath and looked at Nanny Deng with a serious face.

"Mammy, time is urgent now. We must leave the mansion before midnight. I asked you to pack up the things and take them out of the mansion secretly. How are you doing now?"

"Miss, basically everything has been packed up except for these furniture and the daily necessities that Madam usually uses."

"Okay, then you can send someone to pack up the remaining valuables we have here, and we'll leave now."

"The young master..."

"Chi'er is in a safe place now, don't worry." Su Sui'an interrupted Madam Deng, her face becoming even more serious, "Madam, we don't have time. We packed some large and valuable things to take out of the house before. So tonight, let's pack some light items. If we don't leave tonight, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave tomorrow even if we want to."

Seeing that Su Sui'an's tone was serious and did not sound fake, Nanny Deng's face finally became a little serious.

"Yes, ma'am."

"It's the middle of the Shen hour now. I'll go and persuade my mother first. We'll meet at the back door before the end of the You hour."

"Yes."
