After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Nian Susu carried the dummy to the backyard of Li's mansion, where a low-key carriage was parked. Two people were standing in front of the carriage, one wearing a golden butterfly mask and the other wearing a silver eagle-wing mask. Both of them were tall and slender with upright postures.

"Mystery!"

She ran over panting, carrying the dummy, with a blush on her face.

Qingyu was surprised. Could it be that the person he was going to bring to Xia Pi tonight was this Miss Nian?

And what is that on her shoulders? A person? A naked person?

His eyes widened. Nian Susu stood in front of the two of them, slammed the dummy to the ground, and panted heavily with exhaustion, "I should have asked you to pick me up at my house, but I didn't expect... it was so heavy... I'm so tired."

The mannequin has no facial features and no other details on its body, but its skin looks just as elastic as that of a living person.

Qingyu couldn't help but poke it, smacking her lips and exclaiming: "It's so real, it looks like it was just ripped off a living person."

Nian Susu smiled at him and said, "Long time no see, Daying."

"Big...Eagle?" Qingyu repeated the unfamiliar name. Although he was wearing Afyun's mask, he didn't remember that Afyun had a name called "Big Eagle".

"My name is not Big Eagle, I am..."

Xuanji gave Qingyu a warning look and Qingyu shut up in disappointment.

Nian Susu shrugged nonchalantly, "Let's not talk about this anymore, it's more important to talk about business."

"I'll go in first, you guys wait here, I'll almost have the people out when I see the fire."

Xuan Ji nodded, "Okay, be careful."

Nian Susu carried the dummy on his shoulders again and entered Li's mansion through the back door with a grunt.

Qingyu was amazed.

"Your Highness...what exactly is my mission..."

"You'll find out later."

……

Nian Susu took great pains to reach Li Yaoyuan's yard.

The Li Mansion was quiet and no one was met on the road. It seemed that Li Yaoyuan had done a good job in the preliminary preparations.

"Lingling, I'm here." Li Yaoyuan's voice came from the dark corner. She lowered her voice deliberately for fear of waking up the people in the mansion.

She didn't wait for Nian Susu, but walked towards her on her own initiative. She was surprised when she saw the dummy that was the same proportion as herself.

"Wow, Lingling, you are so amazing. You can make it so realistic." As she said that, Li Yaoyuan stretched out her finger and poked the dummy's arm, which was even elastic.

Nian Susu didn't explain to her how this was done, but urged her to go back to the yard.

Li Yaoyuan also knew that the situation was urgent and that no time could be wasted, so she and her carried the dummy back to their yard.

Qinxiangju also had ribbons hung everywhere, and even the word "囍" was pasted on the door, creating a prosperous atmosphere.

Li Yaoyuan's wedding dress and crown were placed in the room. Nian Susu helped the mannequin to put them on, and it finally looked somewhat like the real thing, but it still felt not enough.

You must have something that can prove your "identity".

Nian Susu searched Li Yaoyuan's jewelry box but didn't find anything satisfactory. Finally, her eyes fell on Li Yaoyuan.

"Zhizhi, do you have any jade pendants or scent bags that you wear close to your body? Earrings are also fine, as long as they are your favorite and most commonly used ones."

Li Yaoyuan lowered her eyes and thought for a while. As if she had made up her mind, she took off the silver bracelet on her wrist and put it in Nian Susu's hand. "This is the only thing my mother left me. I have been wearing it since she left and have never taken it off."

Her white and tender wrists were rubbed red, just like her eyes.

Nian Susu felt that the bracelet on her hand weighed a thousand pounds. Although the more important something was to her, the better it was, it didn't have to be so important.

She was about to return it, but Li Yaoyuan held her down first, her palm covering the bracelet. She smiled and said, "If my mother is still alive, she will definitely support me in doing this."

She nodded firmly, hinting to Nian Susu, "She will be happy for me."

Nian Susu said nothing more and put the bracelet on the dummy's wrist.

"And this." Li Yaoyuan pulled out a jade hairpin from her head and inserted it into the mannequin's bun. It looked out of place on the golden crown inlaid with various agates and jades.

The pattern on the jade hairpin is a flying kite, and the carving is not very delicate, which shows that the carver was a novice.

"This is a gift he gave me, so I'll keep it as well." Li Yaoyuan sighed, and the depression in her heart dissipated a lot.

Nian Su Su gently straightened the hairpin and said in a muffled voice, "Anything else? Since we are starting over, we should not bring anything from the past into our new life."

Seeing things reminds you of someone who lived there. She didn't want Li Yaoyuan to have any contact with people or things in Shengjing again.

Li Yaoyuan shook her head. There weren't many things she cared about. She had packed up the banknotes and expensive jewelry and would take them with her when she left. They would be enough for her to live for the rest of her life.

"If there is no more, then let's start."

The two exchanged glances.

Li Yaoyuan took out a hemp rope, tied it around the dummy's neck, and then hung the dummy on the beam, facing the door.

The dummy in the wedding dress was swaying slightly in the air, which was still quite creepy.

Li Yaoyuan took the bag, Nian Susu blew out an oil lamp, poured the lamp oil on the dummy, and then lit it.

The two men retreated outside the room and watched the dummy being engulfed by the flames, with solemn expressions on their faces.

When the dummy was almost burned, Nian Su directed the fire to the curtains, and soon the whole room was engulfed in flames.

Nian Susu pulled Li Yaoyuan back to the yard.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, fireballs bursting in Li Yaoyuan's eyes, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

Nian Susu looked at her worriedly, afraid that she would be reluctant to leave, afraid that she would have worries, afraid that she would regret it, but these emotions did not appear on her face. Instead, a faint smile of relief could be seen.

"Zhizhi..."

Li Yaoyuan glanced at her sideways, with a smile on her face. "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Nian Susu held her hand tightly.

Because the dummy burned first and the house burned later, the dummy was burned beyond recognition before the flames came out of the window.

When Nian Susu saw that the fire was almost out, he blew a whistle towards the east.

"Uu——"

Then a panicked male voice rang out throughout the Li residence: "Help! There's a fire! Help!"

The guards and maids who were half asleep woke up when they heard the noise. Without even having time to put on their clothes, they wrapped themselves in an outer robe and ran out.

The servants lived on the west side. When they saw the smoke and flames coming from Qinxiangju, they cried out in their hearts that something was wrong.

They all rushed towards Qinxiangju.

Nian Susu had already brought Li Yaoyuan out of the backyard door.

Li Yaoyuan looked at the two masked men and hid behind Nian Susu defensively.

Nian Susu talked to Xuanji for a few words, and then calmed Li Yaoyuan down, "Don't be afraid, they are my friends, and you can definitely trust them."

Hearing this, Xuan Ji couldn't suppress a smile.

She pointed at Qingyu with her eyes, "He will get you to a safe place."
