I just want to die of old age

I am a good young man in the 21st century. If I encounter such a thing, I will of course report it to the police.

It is best to find out the truth. Even if nothing is found out, it doesn’t matter. After all, I am not the one who is anxious and worried.

The incense burning activity ended like this, and I returned to the mansion leisurely. The guards at the mansion were frightened when they saw my bloody clothes, and they hurriedly called the imperial physician to treat me.

I waved my hand calmly: "It's okay, the blood on your body is not mine."

I returned to my own courtyard, and when Nanny Wen saw this, she quickly ordered someone to prepare hot water for washing.

I soaked in the bathtub and felt my pores relax. There was a faint floral scent floating on the water, and rose petals floated on it, which was beautiful.

I placed my hand gently on the bathtub. The smell of blood was no longer on my body, but it seemed to still linger on my body.

I was lost in thought and didn't expect to be faced with an assassination attempt.

It seems that Su Mingyu really hates me to the core. She sent so many assassins to kill me and I will never come back.

Before leaving this morning, Su Mingyu no longer concealed the strong murderous aura on her body, as she was certain that I would not be able to come back.

I had just put on new clothes when Nanny Wen came forward to report: "Miss, Miss Mingyu is here."

A faint smile spread across my face, everything was under my control.

In the hall, Su Mingyu sat upright on the armchair, but she was feeling anxious and uneasy. Her brows were furrowed, and she kept rubbing the silk scarf in her hands, but it did not reduce her anxiety.

When she heard my footsteps coming in, she adjusted herself and a just the right amount of worry appeared on her face.

She asked worriedly, "Sister Yuzhu, I heard that something happened to you when you went to burn incense. When I heard the news, I was extremely worried. I hurried over to see you. Are you okay?"

"Seeing that I have returned safely, you must be filled with doubts and worries."

Su Mingyu could no longer maintain the worried expression on her face. She forced herself to say, "Of course I am happy that you can come back safely."

I immediately saw through her disguise and didn't want to be associated with her any more.

My silver bell-like laughter came out, and I snorted coldly: "You don't have to pretend anymore. I'm tired of chatting with you in a fake way. It's uncomfortable for both of us."

Su Mingyu's face turned ugly, and Su Yuzhu was directly confronted. Did she find some evidence?

Su Mingyu still said firmly: "Sister Yuzhu, you misunderstood me."

I hated her expression, but I deliberately whispered to her, "Today's assassins are not affordable for ordinary people. I don't know if the officials of the Ministry of Justice are reliable. I will wait and see if I can pry open a few mouths among this group of experienced assassins."

After hearing this, Su Mingyu's pupils dilated and I successfully captured the fear that flashed across her face.

I once again confirmed that Su Mingyu was the mastermind behind this assassination, but she could not complete this plot alone, which meant that there was an accomplice.

Su Mingyu was still a little naive, and she couldn't completely hide her emotions.

She left my yard with a pale face, and her heavy but hurried footsteps became farther and farther away.

I stared at the direction she left, thoughtfully. The bait had already been put out, but I didn't know whether the big fish would take it.

When Marquis Su Muyun came back and learned about the assassination, he was shocked and angry. He ordered his subordinates to investigate the matter thoroughly.

He had never thought that someone would dare to assassinate the daughter of the Marquis's mansion.

His face became more and more uglier. I knocked on the door outside the study, and Marquis Su Muyun waved his hand to let me in.

I stepped over the threshold leisurely. He looked me up and down carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that I had no wounds on my body.

Then he thought of the news reported by his subordinates. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He locked his eyes on me and asked me, "Why do you know swordsmanship?"

I made up a lie without blushing or beating my heart: "When I was young, I accidentally met a peerless master. He saw that I had a unique bone structure and asked me to be his disciple and taught me swordsmanship. But I never had a place to use my skills before. I didn't expect that I would be assassinated by accident and exposed."

Lord Su Muyun didn't know whether he believed it or not. He just nodded slightly and said, "If that's the case, just spread it. Do you know who ordered it?"

"But whoever my presence hinders will be suspected."

Marquis Su Muyun thought for a moment, and his tone became heavy: "You are doubting Mingyu."

"I only had a third of the suspicion, but she confessed it herself."

Lord Su Muyun closed his eyes and thought carefully about the cause and effect of this matter. He said in a low voice: "Even if Mingyu really did it, where did she get so many assassins?"

I held my chin with a doubtful look on my face: "I think it's too weird."

Su Mingyu was a rich lady who lived in seclusion, and there was no way she could come into contact with these killers.

It is impossible that she is the wife of the Marquis. Even if she hates me, she would not want to kill me. After all, I am still her biological daughter.

So who else is there?

Su Mingyu’s fiancé Shangguan Jin should not be him after all, they have not yet married. Even if they are married, he may not help Su Mingyu assassinate me.

One figure after another flashed through my mind.

Eliminate them one by one.

A guess flashed through my mind.

Before I could catch it, it slipped away.

I carefully recalled my thoughts just now.

Wait, biological daughter?

I suddenly realized that there was no similarity between Su Mingyu and her adoptive parents.

Blood relations always have some similarities.

But when I think about it carefully, Su Mingyu has double eyelids.

But both my adoptive parents have single eyelids.

Moreover, both of them look ordinary and unremarkable, and can hardly be found in a crowd.

But Su Mingyu's facial features are very delicate, and she is a famous beauty in the capital.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but the key is that the other children of the adoptive parents are also ordinary looking and not very good looking.

It doesn't make sense. The daughter who was stranded in another place became the only surprise and looked very stunning.

Even if the Marquis' Mansion can educate people, at most it can make the skin whiter and more translucent and the temperament better, but it will not change the facial features.

The doubts in my heart deepened. If it was really as I guessed, then the mystery of Su Mingyu's life experience was really worth considering.

Is the bizarre fate of the two of us man-made?

What is his purpose?

I felt like all the clues had turned into a tangled ball of thread in my mind.

At first I thought it was just an ordinary real or fake daughter.

How did it become a suspense detective case now?
