At night, Su Chengnan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

She really couldn't understand what Lu Chaofeng was trying to do, nor could she tell whether he was a friend or an enemy. He seemed to be surrounded by layers of fog, making it impossible to see his true face.

Oh, I really hope Jiayi can successfully bring back the news...

……

"You go to the left!"

"We must have someone escape and bring the news to the head of the family!"

"Yes!"

The four of them split into two teams and separated at the fork in the road.

"Come on, follow me this way!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, Jiayi also began to become a little panicked. He wiped the sweat from his head and continued to run wildly in the woods with the secret guards.

This forest is really haunted!

I didn't notice anything unusual during the day, so why can't I get out at night?!

"Boss, when we left, it seemed like we didn't go this way?"

"Isn't it?"

"I remember running out from near a big banyan tree."

"A big banyan tree? Why do I remember it was a camphor tree?"

Jiayi grew increasingly anxious as he listened to his two subordinates arguing. How could he remember it was a ginkgo tree?

"Alright! Stop talking!"

"Let's go up there! First, find the highest point and check out the terrain. I don't believe a broken forest can trap a bunch of us!"

"That's right! We can definitely go back."

"We must not let that crazy and sick Lu Chaofeng harm our Patriarch!"

Su Weimin had personally tested Jiayi's skills in the past, and he was the most outstanding among all the secret guards. If he found it difficult, let alone others.

Several people flew to the treetops, ready to climb up the cliff with all their might.

The moonlight shines on people, casting long shadows...

Su Chengnan put on a thick cloak and got off the carriage. The servant who was on night watch saw her and hurried over with a torch.

"Miss, it's dark at night. I'll call a few maids and servants to accompany you."

"It's okay, I just couldn't sleep so I got up and sat up."

"Oh, so that's it." The servant was stunned and quickly invited her to the fire. "Please sit here, out of the wind."

"Okay, go do your own thing and don't worry about me."

"Okay, you can call us anytime if you need anything."

After the servant finished speaking, he added a lot of firewood to the fire, making it burn more vigorously. It was not only brighter but also warmer.

Su Chengnan moved closer to the fire, then tightened his cloak around himself and looked up at the starry sky. The moonlight was bright, the stars were shining, and tomorrow should be a beautiful day.

She thought about it and decided to wait until dawn to try to get Han's advice. Maybe she would get something different.

Bingsan came back from his inspection and saw her sitting outside, so he came over.

"Miss, it's getting darker and the dew is heavy, please be careful."

"It's strange to say, but ever since my father passed away, my health has gotten better day by day. Perhaps it's because his spirit in heaven is blessing me."

Influenced by Lu Chaofeng, Su Chengnan suddenly became addicted to acting and started to speak in a very coherent way.

"The Marquis is a good man. I miss him a lot."

"Really? Me too."

"If it weren't for him, we would have died long ago. Not to mention the pension, we wouldn't even have a tombstone. We'd be lucky to be buried in a mass grave."

"More than a decade ago, life on the border was very difficult. We spent our days training and fighting. We often went hungry and couldn't even get enough to eat. The Marquis used his own money to buy food in Jiangnan and sent it over, but it was only a drop in the bucket and often not enough."

"Thanks so much, ma'am!"

"No, not the one here now. I mean your mother, young lady. The lady is truly a fairy-like figure, beautiful and kind-hearted. Not only did she help us gather food and fodder, she also found a number of itinerant doctors and sent them here at great expense to help us heal our wounds."

"My mother?"

Su Chengnan was stunned. Her impression of this Marquis' wife was just one sentence: a lady from a noble family who never left her house. She never expected that she would be such a person.

"Yes! All of us have received favors from the Madam."

The memories and emotions of her original body emerged from her heart after a long time. She couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth when she thought of her appearance.

Liang is indeed a very beautiful and gentle woman.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter what mistakes Su Chengnan made, she always reasoned with her with a smile, never hitting or scolding her easily. Even when she asked the Mo family to build a secret room, her original intention was to play hide-and-seek with her.

"It's a pity that my mother was not in good health and passed away too early."

Bing San was silent for a long while before he said, "Miss, it was me who followed Madam to the Ningyuan Palace. It's all my fault! If I had noticed something was wrong at the time, Madam wouldn't have died."

Su Chengnan only knew that her mother had gone out of town for a spring outing and was injured by an assassin on her way back. It took a lot of effort to save her, but her health deteriorated and she eventually died of the disease.

How could there be something about the Ningyuan Palace involved here?

She frowned and asked, "Was there anything unusual in the Ningyuan Palace at that time?"

Bing San was stunned when he heard this, "Miss, don't you know?"

She didn't understand and shook her head.

Bing San secretly thought that he had spoken out of turn and quickly knelt down. "My subordinate spoke out of turn, please forgive me, young lady! I thought the Marquis had told you about this, so I..."

"Please don't ask! I can't tell you."

Su Chengnan looked at him thoughtfully, and seeing him look so serious, he felt something was wrong.

She could have gone directly to the space to ask Su Weimin, but now that she was the head of the Su family, there was no reason why she couldn't get the truth.

"Say!"

"Miss, please don't embarrass me."

"Is it that what I say is ineffective? Or do you only recognize me as your father?"

Bing San restrained his expression and clasped his hands on one knee, "You are too kind. I will tell you everything I know!"

"Get up."

"Yes."

By the time Bing San finished telling her everything that had happened, Su Chengnan's face had turned extremely ugly. She had never imagined that her engagement with Lu Chaofeng would involve such a past event.

Her mother, Liang, had accidentally eaten the princess's cakes while visiting the palace, and was instantly poisoned and bled profusely! It was her family who petitioned the Medicine King of Penglai Valley to save her life.

So the Princess of Ningyuan patted her chest and swore with her life! Regardless of whether Lu Chaofeng could survive or not, or whether the Crown Prince would be replaced, her daughter Su Chengnan would definitely be the Crown Prince's Consort, and moreover, the future Princess.

But Lu Chaofeng's body means that he might have been poisoned as well?

So now he came here, so he wanted to...

"Miss!"

"Miss, we are back."

A weak voice interrupted Su Chengnan's thoughts.

Bingsan was the first to react and quickly protected her behind him.

The two of them looked carefully and found that the person who came was actually the secret guard brought by Jia Yi?

"What happened? Where are the others?"

"Miss! Something bad has happened."

"That Prince Ningyuan is not a human being!"

"Take your time to speak!" Su Chengnan said in a deep voice.

The secret guard was covered in blood and collapsed on the ground, looking like he could die at any time.

"He...he actually performed a ghost marriage with your tablet..."

"Besides, he also..."

Before he could finish his words, he fell silent.

Su Chengnan took a deep breath and clenched his palms!

"Somebody come!"

"Go tie up that scholar for me!!"

"If he dares to touch my people, I will destroy him first!"
