She was about eighteen or nineteen years old. Although she was dressed simply, her face was fresh and refined, and her eyes sparkled with childlike innocence. She seemed out of place in this world.

In the memory of the previous life, it was this girl who saved Su Rao's life at the critical moment.

Afterwards, Su Rao secretly investigated and found out that her name was Huo Chengyu.

On the surface, she is the adopted daughter of Lord Huo, but the truth behind it is far more complicated than that.

In fact, Huo Chengyu is the biological daughter of Lord Huo.

Huo Hou was born in a humble family and rose to a high position by virtue of his outstanding military achievements. Before Mrs. Huo, he already had a family. Although on the surface Huo Hou claimed to be loyal to his first wife and vowed not to marry again, the sudden death of his first wife changed everything. The mansion was in urgent need of a hostess, and Mrs. Huo came in naturally.

The original wife left behind a mentally handicapped daughter, and Huo Hou might have done so because of the inseparable blood relationship.

Or maybe Mrs. Huo wanted to show her tolerance and magnanimity for some reason, so she kept her in the mansion as an adopted daughter.

However, due to her stupidity and lack of protection from her biological mother.

Even her father's care seemed a luxury, and her life in the mansion was full of hardships.

In her previous life, Su Rao never forgot Huo Chengyu's life-saving grace.

She was powerless at first, but when she finally became the Prime Minister's wife and was able to repay the favor, she found that the girl had disappeared.

At this time, the servants led Huo Chengyu slowly over.

Each of her steps seemed to carry a major turning point in her fate, which aroused endless reverie...

"What are you planning? Chengyu has always been well-behaved and obedient. You must not let Chengyu feel scared!"

There was a hint of trembling in Huo Chengyu's words, and his body unconsciously shrank back, appearing both innocent and helpless.

"Don't worry, we have no ill intentions. We just want to invite Cheng Yu to participate in a relaxing and enjoyable little game."

There was a meaningful smile on He Lianyun's lips.

There was a cunning gleam in his eyes, like a little fox planning a prank.

"Is it really just playing games?"

Huo Chengyu's eyes revealed a look of half-belief and half-doubt, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito. It was obvious that he was both curious and wary of this sudden invitation.

"Of course it's true. This game is so fun. I guarantee you'll laugh till you can't stop."

He Lianyun continued to seduce with a sweet tone, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and excitement.

After some inner struggle, Huo Chengyu bit his lower lip tightly and nodded resolutely: "Okay, in this case, Chengyu will be brave and try it with everyone."

Afterwards, Huo Chengyu stood still obediently with a bright red apple on his head.

His eyes were clear and innocent, and he had no idea that a unique test was waiting for him.

Her figure looked particularly thin in the sunlight, as if she was a chosen fawn, innocent and helpless.

He Lianyun elegantly took out an exquisite bow and arrow and slowly pulled the bowstring.

The tip of the arrow was aimed steadily at the apple above Huo Chengyu's trembling head, but his eyes did not reveal complete confidence.

Su Rao, who was watching quietly from the side, had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that He Lianyun's archery skills were mediocre. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "If Cheng Yu accidentally moves, the arrow will deviate and hurt someone. Wouldn't the reputation of the eldest lady of the He family be greatly reduced? Who would dare to easily come to propose marriage in the future?"

After saying that, she shook her head pretending to be worried, but a barely perceptible concern flashed in the corner of her eyes.

He Lianyun's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She keenly noticed Su Rao's unexpected concern for Huo Chengyu, which made her feel mixed emotions.

In the past, she could never find the point that could touch Su Rao's heartstrings, so she was always at a loss as to where to start.

Now, the opportunity seems to have arrived quietly.

"Well, Miss Su has a point. In that case, how about you take her place? I have seen your skills." He Lianyun suggested with a smile, a cunning light flashing in her eyes.

Su Rao stared at the pure and harmless Huo Chengyu in front of her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Thinking back to that critical moment, it was this little girl who reached out and saved me, and I have yet to repay this kindness.

So she slowly stood up and walked towards Huo Chengyu.

"Leave the apple to me."

Su Rao said softly.

Huo Chengyu stared at the apple in his hand with his big watery eyes, looking at it reluctantly, but his little hand quietly hid the apple behind his back, and said in a baby voice: "This is Chengyu's apple, I don't want to give it to you."

Su Rao bent down, her eyes as gentle as spring water, and patiently advised: "Chengyu, good friends should learn to share, do you understand?"

Huo Chengyu hesitated for a moment, his brows tightly furrowed.

In the end, he handed the apple to Su Rao reluctantly, and his look made people feel pity for him.

"What a good child, go sit over there and watch how your sister plays."

Su Rao patted Huo Chengyu's shoulder and guided her gently.

Huo Chengyu obediently skipped to the side, sat down nicely, stared with eyes wide open, and prepared to watch this "performance" with great anticipation.

On the other side, He Lianyun gripped the bow and arrow tightly, and aimed the tip of the arrow at Su Rao without hesitation.

A cruel smile gently bloomed on his lips.

However, in a flash, she suddenly changed her mind.

He decided to only shoot at Su Rao's arm as a small warning, which would not only save face but also teach Su Rao a lesson.

As the string sounded, the arrow shot out like an arrow, whistling through the air and heading straight towards Su Rao!

But what was unexpected was that the arrow had just left the string.

Su Rao fell forward dramatically, and the arrow flew across the open space dramatically.

He Lianyun was immediately shocked and blurted out: "Su Rao, you cheated!"

"Ah, my chest hurts so much, am I going to die?"

Su Rao covered her chest, and two lines of crystal tears slid down her cheeks.

There is so much sadness and pain in his voice, and his acting is top notch.

He Lianyun looked stunned, as if the arrow had really shot into Su Rao's heart.

The panic-stricken look made it difficult to tell whether it was real or fake.

"Help! Someone's dying!"

Huo Chengyu's scream pierced the sky. The voice was sharp and urgent, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Hurry, don't let her get away!"

He Lianyun shouted orders in haste, and the servants responded and chased after him, only to see Huo Chengyu nimbly weaving through the crowd and disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Huo Chengyu's disturbance quickly attracted many curious onlookers.

Mrs. Huo and Su Yi also rushed over after hearing the noise and saw Su Rao lying on the ground.

Su Yi's heart suddenly tightened, and he no longer cared about maintaining his composure. He crawled towards Su Rao and almost stumbled and fell.

"Rao'er! Rao'er! How are you? Are you hurt?"

Su Yi's voice was trembling, full of anxiety and concern.

Su Rao raised her head and blinked at Su Yi, with a mischievous gleam in her eyes.

Su Yi immediately understood Su Rao's little trick, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
