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

As she was sinking, Zhao Qingwan only felt a sweet fragrance lingering in her nose.

Until now, Zhao Qingwan can still smell the ambiguous sweet fragrance lingering around her.

fragrant!!

Zhao Qingwan's chaotic mind, which was filled with hatred for Su Sui'an, finally gained some clarity.

Turning his head, he looked outside the gauze curtain.

Under the dim afterglow of the setting sun, the place where the incense burner was previously placed is now empty.

Her pupils shrank.

There was no time to think about where the beggars were going.

Clearly, she did attack Su Sui'an today, but for some reason, she was the one who got hit.

Not many people know about this matter.

Apart from her, there were only herself and two personal maids.

At first, she just thought that the news leaked out and Su Sui'an was harming her.

But...

Su Sui'an is from the second house, which has never had any status.

Besides, the people in the palace are all opportunistic...

The chances of Su Sui'an getting his hand in are slim...

It's Hong! !

In this way, it makes sense why the servants in the mansion did not allow them to call a doctor.

Since her mother's identity was discovered by the Hong family, it is impossible for the Hong family not to know about her relationship with Su Jincheng, but she still did it...

Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind, and Zhao Qingwan's eyes immediately widened.

She gasped.

Hong, who knew about her mother's existence but kept silent, wanted to take advantage of the thank-you banquet to destroy Su Jincheng, and take revenge on her, ruining her marriage with the Duke Gu's mansion! !

That cruel woman!!

Because she was angry, she moved her body, and then she realized that Su Jincheng had not left yet.

Her movement just now also startled Su Jincheng.

"Wan'er..."

His eyes quickly hid his hatred for Hong.

Zhao Qingwan turned around and separated from Su Jincheng, then quickly threw herself into his arms.

"Brother Cheng...what should we do now?"

Seeing the beauty crying, Su Jincheng suddenly became a little more sober.

However, soon, the body's instincts overrode reason.

He once again took advantage of the disparity between men and women and pressed Zhao Qingwan under him.

"Wan'er, don't worry, I will marry you. We are not siblings anyway..."

With the lingering scent of incense, Su Jincheng half-coaxed and half-forced Zhao Qingwan to relive their old dream.

...

Qingyun Pavilion is an elegant courtyard to the east of Fuyao Hall, about a quarter of an hour's walk away from Fuyao Hall.

The courtyard faces north and south, and it can be said that except for Shoukang Hall, it is the best place in the entire Changping Marquis Mansion in terms of feng shui.

Not long ago, Mrs. Hong was stopped from going to see her child by people sent by the Ninth Prince to deliver gifts.

By the time she sent the Ninth Prince's men away, the sky had begun to darken.

"Mammy, I don't know why, but I've been feeling anxious since the Ninth Prince's men came over. What on earth does the Ninth Prince mean? Also, as for Earl Yong'an... I also need to send someone back to my brother to tell him what happened today, so that he won't misunderstand what happened today and cause Hao'er to misunderstand as well. Whenever I think of my poor Hao'er being implicated by those bitches, I wish I could drive them all away, so that the Marquis's mansion won't be in such a mess."

"Miss, you have been too busy and overworked today. You have experienced too many things and are too tired. It is inevitable that you will think too much." Nanny Dai smiled lovingly at Hong.

Ever since she found out about the dirty affair between Su Qishun and Qin Qing, Nanny Dai has been very resistant to calling Hong her Madam.

But after just one day, she had changed her address to Mrs. Hong from "Madam" to "Miss".

"As for the old master... he still has the young lady in his heart. In the final analysis, it's because of the dishonest things that happened on the side of the eldest grandmother's family. Putting aside the fact that the second young master has a physical defect.

That eldest son is not a good person. To put it bluntly, that little bitch surnamed Qin is just...Marquis Su's concubine. In terms of age, the eldest son of the Earl of Yong'an is almost a generation older than Marquis Su (12 years). In terms of seniority, Marquis Su is at least half of that eldest son's elder. How could a younger generation fight with an elder for a woman? If the eldest master can complain about the young lady because of such a small matter about the eldest grandmother's family, it means that the young lady is just like that in his heart. Then, will the young lady still trust the young master to an uncle who will not plan for him wholeheartedly? "

"You have a point."

Hong's expression relaxed a little.

"But I still feel uneasy, and I always feel that something bad is going to happen."

This feeling becomes more obvious the closer you get to Qingyun Pavilion.

No matter how Nanny Dai comforted her, it was of no use.

Until the two were about to reach the gate of Qingyun Pavilion, they ran into the maid Hongxiu who was running out with a drastic change of expression.

Hong changed.

"What's going on? Why are you running so fast?"

As soon as Hongxiu saw Hong, all the color drained from her face.

"Madam is asking you a question, are you deaf or dumb?"

After being scolded by Nanny Dai, Hongxiu came back to her senses immediately and said in a crying voice, "Madam, it's bad, the young master is missing."

"What?" Hong staggered and took a step back.

Nanny Dai hurried forward to steady Hong's body, and looked at Hongxiu with a warning look.

"Can you find it clearly?"

The servants who came out with Hongxiu then looked at each other.

"You're shouting here without finding the source clearly. You're getting bold, aren't you?" Nanny Dai's heart skipped a beat. She gritted her teeth and ordered, "Why don't you go find it quickly?"

I remembered the cry in the prison just now.

The panic I felt when I heard the crying came back again.

Hong felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

A wave of dizziness came over her and she could hardly stand.

"Ma...Ma..."

Feeling that Hong's body was shaking with fear, Nanny Dai quickly comforted her, "Miss, it's okay. Maybe the young master woke up and found that the people in the mansion were different today, so he was curious and went to other places to take a look."

Nanny Dai's words seemed to give Mrs. Hong some confidence.

She held Nanny Dai's hand and said to herself, "Yes, Hao'er is always like a naughty monkey. He must be playing hide-and-seek with the servants somewhere else in the mansion."

The one who died in Ye Ting was definitely Su Jinchi.

It can only be Su Jinchi.

...

at the same time.

There was also chaos in the Qiongchi Tower.

Compared to Zhao Qingwan who has Su Jincheng, Su Xinhe is not so lucky.

Having seen Gu Xiuyan, a man with a tall and straight figure and a noble temperament like a banished immortal, Su Xinhe could not look down on this poor man who was making trouble for her.

But she couldn't...
