Even though I was dressed as an ugly woman, I was still forced to love by all kinds of big guys

The amount of information was so huge that Su Su's CPU was completely burned out.

Wow, I knew Ergou’s identity was not simple, but I didn’t expect it to be so complicated!

Seeing the pressure around Li Xinglan getting lower and lower, Su Su quickly tried to smooth things over, "Brother Gou, I believe Er Gou is innocent..."

"Do you know what crime it is to harbor a serious criminal of the imperial court?" Li Xinglan turned his head and asked Su Su. He felt extremely annoyed. The complexity of the matter was far beyond his imagination.

Without waiting for Su Su's answer, Li Xinglan pressed Shang Shiyu again, "Why did you appear in the tomb?"

"..."

Shang Shiyu faced the doubts with silence. He didn't know how to start, nor did he want to recall those heart-wrenching scenes.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Li Xinglan stopped asking.

He knew that if he didn't want to say something, he wouldn't say it even if a knife was put to his neck. He had seen how stubborn this child was.

"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you." Li Xinglan's voice was icy cold. "You don't trust us, and this family has no place for you. I only ask that you, considering we haven't treated you unfairly these days, please spare us siblings. From now on, we can go our separate ways and pretend we've never met."

After saying that, he pulled Su Su, who was hesitant to speak, away without giving her any chance to beg for mercy.

Shang Shiyu, who was left in place, clenched his hands even tighter, his nails almost digging into his palms.

He looked at the two people's departing backs with red eyes, and his heart felt like it was being severely pulled.

For a moment, he felt like he was back in the ancient tomb, suffocating and helpless.

Su Su, who was forcibly dragged away, looked up at Li Xinglan, only to see that he had a gloomy face, which looked a little scary. She was so scared that she didn't dare to speak, and her mind was in a mess.

Who can tell her what to do?

It was fine yesterday, why is it like this today?

Li Xinglan noticed Su Su's uneasiness from the corner of his eye. She looked so pitiful, wanting to say something but not daring to. This made Li Xinglan snort, "What? Do you think I'm unkind?"

"No, no." Su Su shook her head like a rattle.

She knew that Gou Ge always had his own reasons for doing things, but...

"Are you really going to chase Ergou away?"

This time it was Li Xinglan's turn to remain silent. He was not much better off than Su Su at this moment, and he didn't know what to do.

At the time, the imperial court declared the merchants guilty of treason, saying that they not only withheld food and fodder, but also colluded with the Jin people from within and without, almost leading to the loss of the border and the annihilation of the entire army. The subsequent massacre of almost the entire Wuling County was also related to this incident.

But he didn't believe this statement at all. The Shang family had been loyal and brave for generations, guarding the border and making great military achievements. Their prestige among the people was also well-known. Treason? Nonsense.

Although I know Shang Shiyu is most likely innocent, the consequences of leaving him and getting involved with him...

Li Xinglan felt overwhelmed and finally just threw up his hands and said, since this big Buddha said he could leave first, then let him go. After all, he didn't look like the kind of person who would turn around and bite them.

Li Xinglan said to himself: Don’t contact Ergou anymore, I’m afraid the court will misunderstand me.

In the afternoon, Shen Huan came in with two food boxes, saying that they were placed at the gate of the "Beautiful Girls' Home".

Su Su immediately had a bad feeling. She opened the box and found a handful of peeled melon seeds inside.

Her premonition grew stronger, so she lifted her skirt and ran towards Shang Shiyu's courtyard.

The door was not locked, and Su Su pushed it open and walked in.

Although she had guessed that he had left, she still felt very uncomfortable standing in the quiet room, and the emptiness and bitterness kept rising up.

He really left without even saying goodbye, and left quietly.

Shang Shiyu's room was simple and plain. Apart from a few pieces of furniture, there was not a single unnecessary gadget.

When she opened the wardrobe again, Su Su knew at a glance that except for the wolfhound mask she gave him last night, he had not taken anything else, not even a change of clothes.

Sitting on a small round stool, Su Su's mind wandered to Ergou, oh no, should I call him Shang Shiyu? He's the son of a traitor wanted by the imperial court. This is the imperial city, and he just left like that. Isn't it dangerous to leave? Where could he go?

She just sat there until Shen Huan came running over and called her that it was time for dinner.

Today, Blind Chen was the one cooking himself. He took off his bib and Su Su just happened to walk into the dining room.

Blind Chen lowered his head and arranged the food. The table was full of dishes, one plate stacked on top of another, all of which were their favorites.

He said cheerfully, "Ergou is going to school soon, let's have a good meal!"

Hearing this, Su Su felt even more upset.

She sat down dejectedly, not knowing how to tell Blind Chen that Ergou was gone and there was no longer an Ergou in this family.

"What's wrong, girl? Are you feeling unwell? Did you get a stomachache at the lantern festival yesterday?" Blind Chen finally noticed that Su Su was in a bad mood and asked her with concern.

Su Su just shook her head and was speechless.

Blind Chen was a little anxious, and looked at Shen Huan beside him for advice. Seeing that she also looked confused, he was suddenly at a loss.

After a while, Li Xinglan also slowly walked into the dining room. Seeing the sumptuous meal on the table, he gave praise without hesitation.

Blind Chen smiled, and seeing that there was still one person missing, he asked, "Why hasn't Ergou come yet? Shen Huan, go and urge him."

Shen Huan nodded and was about to call for help, but was stopped by Li Xinglan.

He said, "No need to go, Ergou is gone."

"Gone? Where did they go?" Blind Chen asked doubtfully, "Did they go into the mountains to hunt?"

Shaking his head, Li Xinglan picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and put it into Su Su's bowl. He said lightly, "You don't have to cook for him anymore. He's not coming back."

"Ah???" The sudden news made Blind Chen extremely surprised. What was going on?

"I'll explain it to you later. Let's eat first." Li Xinglan also picked up a piece of braised pork ribs for himself.

After taking a bite, he praised Blind Chen again, as if his mood was not affected at all.

For the first time, the atmosphere at the dinner table was eerily quiet.

Su Su was chewing her rice, but it felt like chewing wax. Blind Chen didn't know what had happened, and he didn't dare to say anything or even breathe.

In the end, a large table of food was left over, which made Wang Ma sigh while clearing the table, saying that it was such a shameful waste.

Su Su raised her eyes and saw that Aunt Wang was collecting the fried lotus root boxes that Ergou liked to eat. She couldn't help but wonder if he had eaten.

It’s not that I’m worried that he won’t have enough to eat. After all, the title of gold medal jungler is not given out randomly.

Ergouzi was not very willing to spend their money, so he often went to the mountains to hunt wild game and sell it, so he would not go hungry.

I'm afraid he'll reveal his identity...
