I just want to die of old age

Su Mingyu looked at her mother with embarrassment, but saw that her mother did not help her, but left the hall instead.

After sending everyone away, Shangguan Rui and Su Mingyu were the only ones left in the hall.

Faced with Shangguan Rui's affectionate eyes, she unconsciously dodged.

The light in Shangguan Rui's eyes gradually dimmed, and he felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue. He asked unwillingly, "Mingyu, do you really not want to marry me?"

Su Mingyu kept silent at this time, just lowered her head and looked at the embroidered shoes on her feet. After a while, she said in a delicate and hesitant voice: "It's my parents' order and the matchmaker's words. Mingyu has always treated you as her own brother, nothing else."

Shangguan Rui couldn't help but take a few steps back. He could tell Su Mingyu's subtle refusal.

But when they met before, Su Mingyu always looked at him with affectionate eyes, but now she says that the relationship between her and him is just brother and sister.

His heart was broken, and looking at Su Mingyu's ruthless eyes, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

He is such a smart man, how could he not see the whole story? It’s just that his previous filter for Su Mingyu was too deep.

He has been deceiving himself all along, and only now realizes that he is just Su Mingyu's backup plan.

He closed his eyes slightly, raised his head and forced the tears in his eyes back into his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, Shangguan Rui's face was somewhat clear, and his hoarse voice rang out: "In this case, from now on we will each accept our fate."

Su Mingyu was unwilling to give up Shangguan Rui's support. She argued, "Brother Rui, I know you love me deeply, but..."

There was a look of hesitation in her eyes, yet she was still so delicate and heart-warming.

But Shangguan Rui had no intention of continuing to pester her, so he said goodbye and left without stopping.

Su Mingyu was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

She just felt that she had lost something important in her life, and her heart felt empty for a moment.

The gossip from the Marquis' Mansion spread very quickly and spread throughout the capital in an instant.

I practiced martial arts in the yard with a sword in hand, my movements were as agile as a flying butterfly.

After the last assassination.

I found that strength is the most important thing. Strength is the hard truth and only then can you protect yourself better.

At my request, the Marquis specially hired a sword master to teach me swordsmanship.

I am now constantly practicing basic sword skills and making rapid progress. Next time I encounter an assassin, I won't be as embarrassed as last time.

Nanny Wen just stood by quietly. She didn't want me to practice sword at first, but after hearing my eloquent words, she stopped trying to persuade me.

After I put away the sword in my hand and the leaves in the yard slowly fell, she slowly walked towards me.

She handed me a silk scarf and I gently wiped the sweat off my face.

Nanny Wen said with a smile on her face, "Miss, it's just as you expected. The eldest lady's marriage has been cancelled. Today, the third prince came to propose marriage, and the two have already confirmed their marriage."

A faint smile appeared on my face: "Su Mingyu, you really won't let go of this opportunity. The Third Prince is really going to get on their pirate ship."

However, this third prince is not a good person either. The two of them are in cahoots with each other and are a mob.

After a while, the Marquis summoned his personal guard and asked me to go to the study, where I simply changed my clothes.

I followed the guards calmly and walked towards the study.

When I came to the study, I quietly stepped over the threshold and stood by silently.

The Marquis was looking at a pile of information on the table with a gloomy face. These were all information about Su Mingyu's life experience obtained from an investigation in Sujia Village.

He had already confirmed that Su Mingyu was not the daughter of the Su couple, and he also found the servant who had accompanied the wife of the Marquis during her childbirth.

Once, a mysterious couple approached them quietly, but left not long after, so they didn't take it seriously.

Now it seems that he just came here to inquire about the situation.

Marquis Su Muyun looked up at me with a serious expression, and then a trace of relief gradually appeared on his face. He said in a low voice: "Fortunately, you discovered Su Mingyu's identity in advance, otherwise our entire Marquis Mansion would be implicated by her."

I heard the praise from the Marquis, but I didn't show any special pride. Instead, I asked more seriously, "Is Su Mingyu's identity dangerous?"

Lord Su Muyun handed me a piece of information.

His voice became even deeper, with a strong murderous intent in his tone: "She should be a remnant of the previous dynasty."

I looked at the information in my hand carefully, my pupils gradually became deeper, and I began to think slowly in my heart.

It turned out that more than a hundred years ago, the emperor of the previous dynasty was incompetent and unjust, the country was declining, the court was dark, the treacherous party was rampant, and the people were living in misery.

The people lived in dire straits, unable to even get enough food and clothing, and suffered from all kinds of disasters.

However, the imperial court continued to exploit them, making people's lives miserable.

As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

Li Yuning, the founding emperor of Zhao State, was once an ordinary citizen. He eventually could no longer tolerate the situation and decided to overthrow the court for the sake of the people of the world.

The lives of the people became increasingly difficult, and they were forced to unable to survive. More and more people joined the rebel army and eventually succeeded in overthrowing the court.

From then on, Zhao State was established and the people began to live a stable life.

However, there were still some remnants of the former dynasty who were unwilling to lose their previous wealth and power and intended to restore their country.

They were like ghosts, hiding in corners, making trouble from time to time, trying to lead the people to plot the restoration of their country.

However, during the 150 years of Zhao State, there were three wise and powerful emperors in succession. Under their rule, the country was peaceful, the weather was good, the people lived and worked in peace, and no one wanted to rebel.

As a result, their chances became increasingly slim.

So they came up with a huge conspiracy, intending to take back the throne by getting close to the prince of Zhao State and giving birth to the bloodline of the previous dynasty.

Then the incident of the real and fake daughter appeared. They set their sights on the Nanyang Marquisate and mixed their royal blood into the mansion.

But the true bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion was taken away by a commoner couple, but they didn't expect that fate would play such a trick on them that I would come back one day.

So they tried every possible way to get rid of me.

I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when I saw this. They did achieve this wish in their previous life.

In this way, the Crown Prince's accidental death from the epidemic was also their conspiracy, just to allow the third prince to smoothly inherit the throne.

And Su Mingyu could naturally become the queen. In this way, they could easily control the entire Zhao Dynasty, and no one would discover this secret.
