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

It was unknown how long it had been before Su Su was awakened by Wang Ma's voice.

She opened her eyes drowsily, and was met with Li Xinglan's enchanting face, which was so close to her that it was too good-looking.

He rested his chin on his arm, tilted his head, and stared at her with smiling eyes.

Indeed, those eyes were so affectionate that even a dog could see them! Su Su retracted her tightly held little hand and slapped him in the eye, "It's okay, don't flirt with others!"

Wang Ma was outside, looking in. Seeing that the two had finally woken up, she quickly ran to the door and shouted, "Master, I just came back to the room and saw Shen Huan lying on the ground with blood all over his head. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead."

Su Su was shocked, and her intuition told her that it was Shen Jiao who did it.

She looked at Li Xinglan, and he didn't seem surprised. He just touched her head lovingly.

Shen Huan, he had completely forgotten about it. Li Xinglan slowly stood up and walked out of the room. When he looked at Wang Ma, his eyes were noticeably softer.

He instructed, "Auntie Wang, just take a good rest. I'll ask Chuanzhu to come over and check on you later."

After Aunt Wang left with worry, Li Xinglan looked at Shang Shiyu who was standing straight in the yard.

He waved to him, motioning him to come in and talk.

Shang Shiyu did not move, but said lightly: "Let's go to the study." After that, he left without waiting for a reply.

Su Su stood at the door, the smile on her lips froze instantly, and she slowly lowered her hand that was about to greet Ergou.

Was she being overly suspicious? She hadn't seen Ergou much recently. It was as if he was deliberately avoiding her. The look he gave her just now was so cold.

It was like going back to the beginning, when they brought him out of the tomb, with a pair of emotionless eyes.

After entering the study, Li Xinglan got straight to the point, explaining what had happened and analyzing the situation. Finally, he said, "Whether it's Yu Yan or whoever it is, it doesn't matter whether they can find out your true identity or not. They won't dare to do anything if it's revealed."

"But the safest way is for you to stay away from the imperial city and follow the Autumn Recruitment team north to find my father."

Finally, Li Xinglan patiently promised, "Don't worry, I've already started cultivating secret agents in the city and will definitely investigate the truth. Before that, you must rise rapidly and hold great power. Only then will you be able to avenge the merchant's blood debt in the future!"

After a long while, a low voice came from the study: "Okay."

He should have left long ago. Shang Shiyu looked up. He was now almost as tall as Li Xinglan's chin. He sincerely thanked Li Xinglan for everything he had done.

Li Xinglan didn't act pretentiously. He simply reached out and patted his shoulder. "Take care of yourself. If anything happens to you, Su Su will start crying again. She might even blame me for sending you away."

"Let's keep it a secret from her for now." He wanted to wait until he was about to leave before telling her.

Li Xinglan was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses. Yes, if she had known this earlier, she would have had trouble eating and sleeping.

-

Time passed quietly, the hot temperature completely dissipated, and the time for Daqi to recruit troops in autumn quietly arrived.

The fairy tale house has been particularly lively these days. Many of the selected families have invited their friends to come here for the gathering. No one knows when they will meet again.

The atmosphere of parting was everywhere. Shen Jiaojiao, who had not been seen for a long time, also came today. She no longer had the arrogance and domineering attitude of the past, and there was a sadness between her eyebrows.

She came to the front desk to talk to Su Su, who was also listless. She said in a sullen tone, "Welcome, Shen Jiaojiao. Let me give you some shaved ice."

"It's so cold, what should I eat!" Shen Jiaojiao was in a bad mood, and her tone was a little unfriendly.

Su Su didn't care and thought that before she knew it, summer had passed.

"Where is your brother?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

Su Su shook her head. "I don't know what he's been busy with lately. Maybe he's at the casino or the pawnshop?"

Shen Jiaojiao felt even more upset when she didn't see Li Xinglan. Her family had been trying to find a match for her recently, forcing her to meet many young men from aristocratic families, but she didn't like any of them.

She mentioned Li Xinglan, but her mother suddenly covered her mouth. She said, "How can a son of Shang Jia be worthy of you? Don't let your father hear this."

She secretly came to find Li Xinglan several times, but he seemed to be deliberately avoiding her, distant and almost indifferent.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaojiao called out to Su Su, "Hey!" and said in a commanding tone, "I want to see your brother. Give me a chance!"

Su Su felt uncomfortable hearing this tone. She stood up and wanted to retort, but when she looked up, she saw that Shen Jiaojiao's eyes were full of pleading, and she was instantly speechless again.

She nodded as a sign of agreement.

She could empathize with him and realized that it was not a pleasant feeling to be avoided by others.

From the day Ergou touched her lips, she never had the chance to have a good word with him again.

He was always elusive. She waited for him several times and finally caught him. He just listened to her chatter indifferently and nodded perfunctorily as a response.

She couldn't stand it anymore! Today, she was going to catch Ergou and ask him why!

However, Su Su waited for two days in a row but failed to catch Ergou. He didn't even go home!

Just when she thought that Ergouzi was going to be a savage in the mountains, one day, while she was eating melon seeds and watching the parade of recruiting troops, she saw his figure among them.

These are the pillars of Da Qi and the bravest men of Qi Xia. They line up in neat rows and accept the cheers and applause of the people.

Su Su stood on the steps of the fairy tale house, staring blankly at Shang Shiyu's stern profile, and followed the team past the door.

She actually knew nothing.

A huge sense of loss instantly enveloped her whole body. She couldn't understand why Ergou, who was cold-faced and soft-hearted, would be so distant from her. What had she done wrong?

Unable to help it, she turned around with red eyes and went back to the fairy tale house.

She was in a very low mood the whole day, and Aunt Wang couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked her to go home and have a good rest.

Aunt Wang was all smiles. She and Blind Chen were officially together. With the nourishment of love, her face became much kinder.

Blind Chen is actually an honest man. When she recognizes her son in the future, she will feel happy.

Su Su really didn't feel like staying outside, so she called out to Honeysuckle and Poria, and was escorted home by them.

She was in such a bad mood that she sighed even while having dinner.

It was rare to see her so depressed. Fuling even secretly discussed with Rendong whether to report it to the young master.

After dinner, Su Su lay on the windowsill. The autumn wind blew, bringing a chill. She pulled her coat closer and when she looked up again, she saw Shang Shiyu standing at the gate of the outer courtyard.

She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, immediately stood up, opened the door and rushed out.

The previous gloom was swept away, and her ink-black eyes sparkled, and even her voice was full of joy, "Ergou, you're here."

You finally came.

She had so much to say and ask, but the grievances surged into her heart first. With red eyes, she stared at Shang Shiyu blankly, "Why did you come just now?"

After a long while, I heard him reply in a slightly hoarse voice: "I'm sorry..."

After he finished speaking, something in his arms moved and whimpered. He had no choice but to take the little thing out of his arms.

Su Su opened her eyes wide in surprise, "What is this?"
