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

Nian Susu had to swallow her words. Nian Qiaoyue's eyes just now didn't seem like she was plotting against her, and she also gave her the choice. If she didn't use the veil, wouldn't Nian Qiaoyue's work be in vain?

Could it be that she really repented and reformed?

If that were the case, she would be even more reluctant to do it.

If she didn't kill Nian Qiaoyue, she couldn't stay in this world. What's more terrible is that if she didn't kill Nian Qiaoyue, she couldn't let Nian Qiaoyue die at the hands of others, otherwise she would be wiped out by the system.

Because she didn't kill Nian Qiaoyue with her own hands, she couldn't replace the heroine's position. Once Nian Qiaoyue died, the 999 tasks of taking the blame could not be completed. Both of her paths were blocked, and in the end, she had no choice but to be wiped out by the system.

Nian Su Su held his chin in his hand, looking depressed.

In early February, the ice and snow melt, and it is the coldest time of the year.

Nian Susu was curled up in bed reading a storybook. Although she was going to get married at the end of May, she was very relaxed. Yang Yuerong took care of everything for her. As long as she wanted to interfere, Yang Yuerong would drive her away and say, "You are a virgin and have never been married. You don't know anything. Just leave it to me. I will prepare everything for you."

She was a person who didn't like to worry about things, and with Yang Yuerong's approval, she simply didn't care. She would try on any jewelry sent to her, and choose any patterns sent to her, just following her instructions.

Not only Nian Susu, the entire east wing was lazy. The front yard was extremely busy. Zhihua and Jingzhe were so free that they ran to the back mountain to pick wild fruits to eat, or went to the street to find new fun.

That day, Zhihua ran back panting, and Nian Susu thought something had happened, but he didn't expect that something big really happened.

"Miss! Master Xiao is going back to Beijing!" Zhihua said happily.

Nian Susu had been talking about this with Xiao Yunzheng some time ago. Zhihua, who was serving them, had kept it in mind. When she heard the news on the street today, she was so happy that she ran back to the east wing just to tell Nian Susu.

When Nian Susu heard this, his eyes lit up, but after the surprise, he was filled with deep worry.

Two months ago, the emperor sent people to Jiangnan to inquire about Xiao Jianting. Calculating the time, he should have returned to report half a month ago. Today, news came that Xiao Jianting had returned to Beijing. It was hard not to wonder if it was the emperor's will.

I don’t know whether the emperor’s people have found out about Li Yaoyuan.

"What's wrong, miss? Are you unhappy?" Seeing that she looked worried, Zhihua also became worried.

Nian Susu did not explain the reason. He just said a few perfunctory words, put on his cloak and went out.

Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Yunzheng brought Nian Susu back to her own yard.

The last time she came, the two of them quarreled with Wang Yuejiao. The last time she came, the two of them fought with Wang Yuejiao. This time, they decided not to be bothered by Wang Yuejiao again.

The two of them were leaning on a soft couch, with a small table between them, and a few plates of snacks on the table.

Nian Susu held a pillow in one hand and ate snacks in the other, and asked vaguely: "I heard that Master Xiao is going back to Beijing? Have you heard any news? Is it the emperor's intention?"

Xiao Yunzheng was bored, so she picked up a handful of melon seeds, put them down, picked them up again, and put them down again...

"I did hear my father mention it. It wasn't the Emperor's order, he wanted to come back on his own."

"The people sent by the emperor made inquiries in Wujun, but they didn't hear any news about my brother getting married. Instead, they got the news that he has a mistress in his house."

“Some even said that he bought the haunted house specifically to conceal the incident.”

Xiao Yunzheng was puzzled. "I remember we didn't hear about it when we went there. How come he has a mistress in his mansion after only a month?"

Nian Susu could probably guess that Xiao Jianting hid this "Jiao" in order to protect Li Yaoyuan. As for why the people in Wujun spread it like this... it's because gossip and rumor-mongering know no region, people are the same, give them a pen and two people, and they can make up thousands of stories.

"And then?" Nian Susu asked with interest.

Xiao Yunzheng smacked her lips. "Then the emperor wrote to ask, and my brother confessed that he liked the girl and wanted to take her as a concubine, but because of his status, he had never made up his mind. So he bought a house in Wu County and lived there for half a year."

"Identity? What is the identity of that girl?"

"I heard that he was born in a brothel." Xiao Yunzheng shrugged, "I'm not sure. It stands to reason that big brother wouldn't go to that kind of place, so how could he know the girls there?"

Nian Su Su seemed to be lost in thought.

If she really is a girl from a brothel, it might not be a bad thing.

If Xiao Jianting were to marry her, she would become the second Wang Yuejiao, but unlike Wang Yuejiao, being trapped in Xiao's house was much better than being humiliated in the brothel.

She also believed that the person Xiao Jianting was looking for had reached some kind of cooperation, rather than forcing the other person to come back with him.

"Then Miss Yu..." Nian Susu seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Xiao Yunzheng gave her a reassuring look, "Don't worry, Miss Yu is not involved."

Nian Susu finally let go of the worry in his heart.

Xiao Jianting had already set out more than ten days ago and estimated that he would arrive in three or four days.

Three days later.

Nian Susu and Qin Junyu went to the city gate to pick up Xiao Jianting, and found that the entire Xiao family was there, including Wang Yuejiao.

Wang Yuejiao had a cold face, without any expression of happiness or anticipation.

Xiao Yunzheng was very excited. As soon as she saw Nian Susu, she ran up to her and took her arm.

The two of them greeted General Xiao first, and then Nian Susu asked Xiao Yunzheng: "How long will it take to get there?"

Xiao Yunzheng calculated, "About two to three quarters of an hour."

Although the group of people stood together, freezing in the cold wind for the same thing, their thoughts were different. The scene was even colder than the melting ice water in the river.

Nian Susu wrapped himself in a cloak, and the tip of his nose turned red from the cold.

Qin Junyu felt sorry for her and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the teahouse next door to have a cup of tea to warm yourself up? It will take another 25 minutes anyway."

She shook her head. “It doesn’t matter.”

Since you are here to pick someone up, how can you run away at the critical moment? That would be too insincere.

Besides, General Xiao didn’t say anything at his old age, so how could she have the nerve to say that she couldn’t stand it?

Qin Junyu didn't try to persuade her anymore. He just stood in front of her silently, blocking the oncoming cold wind.

In the silence, I finally saw a convoy of carriages and horses.

"It's Big Brother! Big Brother is here!" Xiao Yunzheng was so excited that she almost jumped up, "But why can't I see Big Brother?"

In the past, Xiao Jianting always led the way on horseback whether he was traveling or returning to Beijing, but this time, he was not seen. Instead, several carriages were seen slowly approaching.

When they arrived at the city gate, the front carriage stopped. Xiao Jianting jumped off the carriage, put down the footstool, stretched out his arm, and another person came out of the carriage, a girl.

Her figure is graceful, like a willow swaying in the wind. She is wearing thin clothes, and when the wind blows, the fabric sticks to her body, and you can see that she is tall and thin.

The girl held Xiao Jianting's arm and got off the carriage.
