Li Yu Niang's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard.

By the time others reacted, it was too late.

Xu Miaoyu's child was ultimately lost.

Li Yu Niang was nearly strangled to death by Chen Ye, and finally both of them were sent to the procuratorate.

Li Yu Niang was sentenced to 50 strokes of the cane and ten years in prison for intentional homicide, while Chen Ye was taken back by Duke Qin.

When Qin realized that Chen Ye might have lost the only child in his life, she uttered a whine of regret for the first time.

Because of these absurd things happening in the rear house, the Duke of Qin's Mansion was reported by Xu Handang and several other censors, who believed that Duke Qin's moral character was unworthy of his position and that he had brought disgrace upon the reputation of the previous Duke.

Even though Qin's niece Qin Shuyi pleaded for mercy, Emperor Jing Zhao still stripped Qin of his title of Duke, and the family was demoted to commoners from then on.

Duke Qin and his wife aged dozens of years overnight, but Chen Ye seemed to not care.

The child's departure made it impossible for him and Xu Miaoyu to be together.

Chen Ye was very clear about this, so he resigned from the position of editor in Jiying Palace without telling the Duke of Qin and his wife, and chose to give up literature and take up arms, joining the army of General Pei and Xu Youting and marching north.

By the time the couple found out, he was gone.

Xu Miaoyu was taking care of by her family while she was recuperating after giving birth. It was Su Yunling who told her that Chen Ye was joining the army.

He also left her a letter.

Xu Miaoyu did not open it, but had someone throw it directly into the stove and burn it.

If he hadn't persisted, her child wouldn't have been killed.

"Cousin, having children really requires fate. If you really like children, then I wish you to meet the right person at the right time and be happy and fulfilled..."

Autumn is approaching, and Su Yunling and Xiao Jichen's wedding date is approaching.

Thinking of Xiao Jichen, he seemed to be always busy.

They hadn't seen each other for several days.

During the day, everyone was said to be here. As soon as Su Yunling returned to the County Lord's Mansion, Linglan came to report that Xiao Jichen had sent a letter asking to come over to the mansion for a chat...

This was the first time Xiao Ji Chen entered the inner courtyard of the County Lord's Mansion.

Su Yunling placed a beauty couch in the pavilion beside the lotus pond, specifically for enjoying the cool air.

The dog days of summer are too hot, but this location is in the wind's outlet and has a large bamboo forest for shade, so it's very cool.

Su Yunling had just put down the bowl of ice when Xiao Jichen came in.

"Your Highness seems to be very busy recently, how come you have time to come over?"

According to etiquette rules, Su Yunling should have bowed when she saw Xiao Jichen, but she just leaned on the bamboo couch and was too lazy to move.

Xiao Ji Chen didn't bother with her. He threw off his golden gauze cloak and sat down on a stone bench beside him.

"The county lady is not idle either! If I don't come again, will you forget me?"

Su Yunling curled her jade fingers and propped up her chin lazily, but answered seriously: "Yes."

Xiao Jichen laughed angrily, "It seems that I have to come here every day from now on."

As he was talking and laughing, he noticed that she had undressed and was barefoot, with part of her pink neck and tender white feet exposed.

"Your Highness, it must be very hot all the way here! Your neck is red." Su Yunling didn't understand why, so she immediately asked Linglan to get a bowl of ice to help him cool down.

Don't look at what is inappropriate. Xiao Ji Chen withdrew his gaze from her feet and talked about the purpose of coming here.

"My father and mother will be returning to Beijing in a few days."

"So you want me to do something?" Su Yunling blinked her beautiful eyes, "Let me be clear first, I'm not very good at pleasing people. If the prince and princess don't like me, there's nothing I can do."

Xiao Jichen smiled, his cold voice still gentle, "You don't need to try to please me deliberately, I just want you to make time in advance to meet them."

Su Yunling smiled to reassure him, "Don't worry! No matter what our purpose is for getting married, as long as the prince and princess don't deliberately make things difficult for us, I know the proper etiquette."

The folding fan in Xiao Ji Chen's hand turned a circle at his fingertips, and then he looked up, with a hint of anticipation in his dark eyes.

"Speaking of etiquette, do you owe me something?"

Su Yunling frowned slightly, as if puzzled: "What do I owe you?"

"Since ancient times, marriages should have tokens of love." After Xiao Ji Chen finished speaking, he lowered his head and untied the mutton-fat jade buckle from his waist and handed it to her.

Su Yunling was stunned for a moment, but still reached out to take it.

Not to mention, this jade button is of a warm texture and exudes a very comfortable cool feeling all over, it is really a good thing.

"I don't have any treasure in my hand. What do you want?" Su Yunling looked down at herself and realized that she had nothing.

"Can you embroider a purse? Please embroider one for me!" Xiao Ji Chen was very direct.

"Purse?" She thought he would want a hairpin, a comb or something like that.

"Several of my close friends have received perfume bags from beautiful women, but I have nothing on my waist."

Su Yunling actually tasted a hint of pity in his words. What was going on?

After all, he is her man, so she naturally cannot let him suffer this injustice.

Although I haven't picked up a sewing needle since I awakened, fortunately I often did needlework when I was a waste before.

"So what pattern do you want?"

"What's there?"

"Mandarin ducks playing in the water, many children, good fortune, twin flowers blooming..."

"Just a pair of lotus flowers."

Su Yunling nodded, "Okay, do you have any requirements for the color matching?"

"As long as it's embroidered by you, it's fine." Xiao Ji Chen smiled gently. His gentle and elegant appearance had nothing to do with the villain.

After Su Yunling agreed to embroider a purse for him, she suddenly remembered something important.

"Su Yueying has been very close to you recently?"

Xiao Jichen's gentle eyes added a touch of coldness, "Now is not the time to let her die, because with her here, we can reap the benefits."

Su Yunling did not refute his point of view, because this was also the reason why she did not kill Su Yueying. Su Yueying had a system, so it was not easy to kill her.

The other option is to keep Su Yueying. She doesn't have to do anything herself, Su Yueying can drag down the Su family and make the father and his two sons have a miserable ending.

Similarly, Su Yueying also had the means to make Emperor Jing Zhao and his sons die one after another.

After she gets rid of those people, the Prince Su's Mansion can just sit back and reap the benefits and deal with her alone.

By then, it will be a legitimate succession to the throne, which is indeed much better than personally killing your brothers and sisters and having your hands stained with blood.

"I don't care what you plan to do, as long as she doesn't provoke me, it's not that I can't tolerate her, otherwise I can do anything."

"That woman doesn't have much brains. What we should really be wary of is that mysterious Imperial Master..."

Xiao Jichen hit the nail on the head.

Su Yunling knew that in order to get rid of Su Yueying, she had to get rid of Xuan Mo and Xiao Nanchuan.

Among them, Xiao Nanchuan is not to be feared. As long as all the treasonous things that Prince Rui did in private were exposed, Emperor Jing Zhao would not tolerate him.

The biggest problem lies with Xuan Mo.

The man's identity and strength were unknown, and Su Yunling could clearly feel that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Often the unknown is the most terrifying...
