The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

When I came out from Su Qingcang, it was already completely dark.

Su Qingning returned to Jinyuan in a daze. She stood at the door, looking at Yun Ruopiao who was as happy as a child in the yard, and her mood suddenly became complicated.

She didn't know what her mother would do if one day she regained her sanity and knew that her father and uncle's disappearance was due to her.

Su Qingning didn't want to see Yun Ruopiao sad and blaming herself, but she had to cure her mother's illness; so, she seemed to have only one choice, which was to go to the demon clan to find her father and uncle.

Everyone said that Su Huaijin and Su Huaiyu were most likely in danger and had died in battle; but Su Qingning had a hunch that they were not dead, they were just trapped somewhere and could not come back.

"Ning Ning~"

Yun Ruopiao saw Su Qingning standing at the gate of the yard and immediately rushed over happily.

"Wow~ Ningning, I miss you so much~"

Yun Ruopiao hugged Su Qingning and rubbed her against her. She hadn't seen her daughter and son for a month, and she really missed them.

"Ningning, where's Xiaoyu? Isn't Xiaoyu back?"

Yun Ruopiao looked behind Su Qingning but didn't see the familiar little figure. The light in her eyes suddenly dimmed and her face was full of loss.

Hearing Yun Ruopiao's question, Su Qingning remembered that Su Qingyu was still in her own space and she forgot to let him out.

only……

Su Qingning was a little worried. Su Qingyu had been in the space the whole time, and she didn't know whether he had heard her conversation with her grandfather.

"Mom, don't worry, Xiaoyu will be back soon." Su Qingning comforted Yun Ruopiao while holding her hand and walking into the yard.

After Yun Ruopiao was comforted and went to play with Chunyu and others, Su Qingning took the opportunity to return to the room and released Su Qingyu from the space.

However, after Su Qingyu came out, he was in a low mood. He looked at Su Qingning with an expression on his face as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant.

Seeing this, Su Qingning knew that Su Qingyu had heard her conversation with her grandfather.

"Xiaoyu, you heard everything, right?" Su Qingning asked.

"Yeah." Su Qingyu nodded, "I heard everything."

Su Qingyu's eyes reddened, and he grabbed Su Qingning's sleeve, looking tearful as he asked, "Sister, are Daddy and Uncle...really...dead?"

Su Qingyu had actually never met Su Huaijin, because when he was born, Su Huaijin was in Youcheng resisting the demons, and when Su Huaijin disappeared, Su Qingyu was just a baby who had just turned one month old.

Although he had never seen his father, Su Qingyu, who had been deprived of fatherly love since childhood, always had expectations for this father whom he had never met.

But now, hearing that his father was most likely dead, Su Qingyu's expectations were dashed. He felt wronged and sad, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Seeing her brother's red eyes and tears about to fall but not falling, Su Qingning felt very distressed.

"No." Su Qingning raised her hand and gently rubbed Su Qingyu's hair, saying in a soothing tone: "Xiaoyu, Daddy and Uncle are not dead. They are just trapped somewhere and can't come back for the time being."

"Don't worry, I will find them back." Su Qingning didn't know whether she was promising Su Qingyu or saying to herself, "One day, our family will be reunited: you, me, mother, Aunt Zhang, and...father."

"Yeah." Su Qingyu nodded with red eyes and read out the names of everyone in Jinyuan. "And Sister Chunyu, Sister Xiamian, Sister Qiuyue, Sister Dongxue, Brother Xuanshiyi... Our family will always be together."

"Okay." Su Qingning rubbed Su Qingyu's hair lovingly, "Our family will always be together."

……

After Su Qingyu calmed down and his eyes were no longer red, Su Qingning took him out of the room.

Chunyu and his three companions, Xuanshiyi and the others were all very surprised to see Su Qingyu suddenly appear, but they always remembered their identities and did not ask too much about their master's secret.

In the evening, Nanny Zhang cooked a big pot of dumplings for everyone. Everyone in Jinyuan sat in the yard with a bowl of dumplings to eat, even Xuanwei such as Xuan Shiyi and the two God Kings Ying Wu and Ying Liu.

They stared blankly at the dumplings in their hands and the warm scene in the yard. This was a warmth they had never experienced in the dark chamber. At this moment, they suddenly had a feeling of home.

Maybe... there's nothing wrong with staying here.

Xuan Shiyi, Xuan Wei, Ying Wu, and Ying Liu were thinking this as they started to move their chopsticks. They took a bite of a dumpling in the shape of an ingot and took a bite.

The dumplings had a great texture and tasted great, and everyone enjoyed them very much.

"By the way, the Little New Year is coming in a few days. I will make you a good meal on that day." Nanny Zhang suddenly said.

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Zhang."

Everyone responded with a smile, and Chunyu and the other three even said they wanted to help Aunt Zhang.

Everyone seemed very happy, but they didn't notice that Su Qingning's face suddenly turned pale.

Little New Year?!

Su Qingning paused holding the chopsticks, and the memories of her previous life instantly filled her mind. She finally remembered something she had forgotten.

In the previous life, on the day of the Little New Year, every courtyard of the Su family was filled with warm laughter.

In a remote corner, in a deserted yard, Su Qingning and Su Qingyu were wearing tattered and thin clothes. They were cold and hungry, and could only snuggle up to each other to keep warm.

On this night when everyone was reunited with their families, Su Qingning and Su Qingyu missed their parents especially. Unfortunately, their mother was burned to death, their father was missing, and their grandfather no longer wanted them.

However, despite this, Su Qingning and Su Qingyu still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts. They looked forward to their father Su Huaijin coming back one day, so that they would no longer be bullied by others.

However, God had no mercy and was very cruel to Su Qingning and Su Qingyu.

That night, the brother and sister did not wait for their father, but waited for a group of men in black.

They were abducted from the Su family and locked up in a dark place, where they suffered torture worse than death every day until they died.

The memory ended and Su Qingning came back to her senses. The joints of her hand holding the chopsticks were clearly visible due to the force, and there was a coldness in her dark eyes.

In this life, many things have changed. She doesn't know whether those people will come again, but no matter what, she will not repeat the same mistakes and let the tragedy of the previous life happen again.

Su Qingning looked at Su Qingyu, who was sitting next to her and eating dumplings in small bites, her eyes full of tenderness and determination.

Xiaoyu, don't worry, I will definitely protect you in this life.
