"Prince Rui, please respect yourself. This is the inner residence of the Su family. Outsiders are not allowed to enter." Su Yunling retreated to the other side of the stone table and kept a distance from it.

Xiao Nanchuan looked obviously excited. He took out two pages of paper from his sleeve and slapped them on the stone table.

Su Yunling looked down and saw a page of letters and another page of poems she wrote in the Imperial Academy.

"Won't you explain?"

Su Yunling pretended to be confused, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Xiao Nanchuan suppressed the emotions surging in his heart and asked, "Why are the handwritings on these two pieces of paper exactly the same?"

Su Yunling snorted and laughed, "You should ask my Saint Sister about this!"

"I just want to ask whether the contents of this letter were written by you?"

Su Yunling rolled her eyes at him, "Haven't you figured it out? Why are you asking even though you already know the answer?"

Xiao Nanchuan's eyes were filled with tears. "Why was it you? Why didn't you tell me that it was Yingying who was writing to me..."

About three years ago, Xiao Nanchuan was attacked by a pack of wolves while participating in a royal hunting trip.

He accidentally fell into a trap, and when he woke up he found that it was Su Yueying who saved him.

But he became a cripple, and the imperial physician said it might be difficult for him to stand up again.

His father gave up on him as the eldest son and turned to train his other brothers. His mother often scolded him for being useless, which caused her to lose her father's love.

When he gave up on himself and became an outcast of the family, Su Yueying would write to him every few days to encourage him not to give up and to never let others underestimate his perseverance and determination.

It was with the encouragement from Su Yueying's letters that he gritted his teeth, persisted in taking medication and exercising, and finally stood up again.

It was also at that time that he decided to protect Su Yueying for the rest of his life.

But he had no idea that the letter was written by someone else.

Su Yunling felt inexplicably annoyed when she recalled the past when she met Xiao Nanchuan. In fact, she had known Xiao Nanchuan long before returning to the Su Mansion.

Before she was ten years old, one day when she was washing clothes by the river, Liu's bellyband was washed away by the river. She was so scared that she had to muster up the courage to go into the water to fish it out, but as expected, an accident happened.

She was washed downstream by the river and was about to drown when a young man who was filling a water bag with water by the river saved her.

After she woke up, she found out through much inquiry that the person who saved her was the prince of Rui Palace.

She originally wanted to go to Prince Rui's mansion to express her gratitude in person, but due to the strict separation between men and women and her status which was not presentable, she gave up the idea.

From then on, she began to secretly pay attention to him. At that time, Xiao Nanchuan was young and handsome, an absolute elegant young man.

Unfortunately, due to the difference in status, she could only watch from afar.

At that time, she didn't know what love was, but she was happy when she saw him.

It was not until Su Yunling returned to the Su Mansion that she saw Xiao Nanchuan up close for the first time next to Su Yueying.

It turns out that Xiao Nanchuan and her elder sister are childhood sweethearts, and they seem to like each other very much.

After confirming this fact, although she felt a little disappointed, she was not angry and was still willing to follow them as long as they did not despise her status as a concubine's daughter.

When she was twelve years old, Xiao Nanchuan invited Su Yueying to accompany him to the royal hunting grounds.

Before leaving, Su Yueying found her and said, "Second sister, I know you like the prince of Rui Palace. I will take you with me secretly so that you can see him."

Su Yunling was extremely excited at that time, and for the first time she developed a great liking for this sister.

Now that she thinks about it, Su Yueying definitely did not do this out of kindness. Either she had been thinking about her heart at that time, or it was related to Su Yueying's system task.

When they arrived at the enclosure, Xiao Nanchuan ventured into the depths of the forest in order to hunt the fire fox that Su Yueying wanted.

Su Yunling was worried because he hadn't come back for a long time, so she went into the woods to look for him.

When she found Xiao Nanchuan, he was trapped in a trap by several wolves. Although she was very scared at the time, she still plucked up the courage and rushed forward with a stick in hand.

Su Yunling didn't know what was going on at the time. The wolves ran away automatically when they saw her.

She took great effort to finally get him out of the trap, and then Su Yueying appeared.

Su Yueying asked her to leave quickly. If the royal guards found out that she had trespassed into the royal hunting ground, it would be a crime of disrespect.

Obviously, after Su Yunling left, Su Yueying naturally replaced her as Xiao Nanchuan's savior.

Later, when she learned that Xiao Nanchuan was depressed because of a broken leg, she secretly wrote him a letter to encourage him, but she didn't even dare to sign her name.

Since she had always kept her talents hidden in the Su Mansion, no one knew that she could write, so Xiao Nanchuan had no doubt that the letters were written to him by Su Yueying.

And Su Yueying did not deny it, and the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper.

In the past, she was controlled by the plot and could not tell him the truth in time, but now she did not want to tell him the truth for the time being, because whether she said it or not, it would not change the fact that his heart was leaning towards Su Yueying.

But if I don't tell you, how can I catch Su Yueying off guard?

In the original plot, it was only after Su Yunling became Xiao Nanchuan's concubine that he realized that the person who saved him was not Su Yueying.

So he made Su Yunling his principal wife, saying it was to repay her for saving his life.

He did distance himself from Su Yueying for a period of time, but it was only for a period of time.

Soon the two of them got together again, and he even kicked out the baby in Su Yueying's belly and took her heart blood to treat Su Yueying's heart disease.

So, let's just keep these two together and stop disgusting her.

When her memory returned to reality, Su Yunling looked at Xiao Nanchuan's melancholy and sad expression and felt it was hypocritical.

She said in a sarcastic tone: "Tell you? Will Prince Rui give up his sister and choose an ugly person like me?"

Xiao Nanchuan choked, "At least..." At least she won't be sent to jail.

"Your Highness, are you suddenly feeling guilty? It took a lot of effort to get you out of such a deep trap. It's rare to find someone as ungrateful as your Highness. Shouldn't you feel guilty?"

Xiao Nanchuan was suddenly startled, and the shock in his heart surged like a huge wave.

"You said you rescued me from the trap?"

"If it's not me, is it my sister who has to cover her chest every few steps?"

Eyes and brains are both good things, but poor Xiao Nanchuan has neither, so he can dote on the heroine without thinking.

Xiao Nanchuan was so shocked by this unexpected truth that he almost lost his balance.

"After careful consideration, it is indeed true! Yingying is weak. How could she pull me out of such a deep pit by herself?"

On the contrary, Su Yunling, although thin and small, is very strong because he has been working all year round.

Su Yunling rolled her eyes countless times as she looked at his expression that was filled with confusion, regret and disappointment.

"Sir..."

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it is really you who saved me, I will compensate you."

"Compensation?" Su Yunling became interested when she heard these two words and immediately ordered Mrs. Qian to bring the abacus.

Xiao Nanchuan frowned and watched her jingling the abacus, looking confused.

"If Prince Rui really wants to repay you, then give me a thousand taels of silver as a reward! Also, don't forget that it was you who put me in jail for Su Yueying, that's another matter. There's also compensation for my disfigurement and loss of reputation... After rounding it off, give me six thousand taels of silver, and we're basically even."
