After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

The raindrops hit the oil-paper umbrella, like playing an ethereal melody.

Looking up, I saw a pair of eyes that usually looked like cold stars, exuding a coldness that kept people away. But at this moment, they seemed to be burning with blazing fire, staring at Su Wan passionately. Such eyes made Su Wan's cheeks turn red.

"I remember you said that people's hearts are fickle. So, even the most unforgettable vows made now will eventually be altered by time. But Ah Wan, you are the first person I am willing to entrust my secrets to, the only person besides my adoptive parents that I am willing to trust. I will always be loyal to you."

"You can go forward without worry. I will stand behind you. If you need me, I will take a step forward. If you hate me, I will take a step back."

Su Wan was becoming more and more surprised, but Xie Yin continued, "You can hate me and dislike me, but please don't ignore me, okay?"

Su Wan stared at the person in front of her, only to see that Xie Yin's eyes were red.

"Why? What do I have that would make Xie Shousi so concerned about me?"

"Because you are resolute and brave." Xie Yin's eyes were deep, recalling the difficulties Su Wan had come this far. "Because you are the first one who treated me as an ordinary person. Whenever I see you, I can't help but get closer, wanting to share my happiness, loss, and embarrassment with you, because I can always find comfort in you. More importantly, I want to protect you and want to see you smile."

What Su Wan didn't know was that even her simplest smile would make Xie Yin happy for a long time, and it was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen.

His adoptive mother said that you should be with someone who respects you and gives you strength, and of course you should also give her strength.

He knew it was Su Wan.

"This is my choice. I think I need to let you know my feelings, or at least give me a chance to fight for it."

Su Wan looked at that handsome face, her eyes lowered in frustration. She had clearly told him, clearly told him about the many difficulties. But looking into those eyes filled with deep affection, Su Wan's heart still stirred.

She took a deep breath, "I know."

After handing the umbrella to Xie Yin, she ran towards Su Lin.

Xie Yin held an umbrella and looked at the figure from behind. His eyes, which had been filled with surprise just now, slowly turned into a smile.

"Brother, let's go."

Su Lin turned his head and glanced at Xie Yin, then looked at Su Wan again with a gloomy expression.

"problem occurs."

Su Wan's smile froze, and she heard Su Lin across from her say in a deep voice, "Father is missing."

Su Wan, who had just had a gentle smile on her face, froze instantly, "When did it happen?"

"This is the letter my men just delivered. Don't worry, I have already sent people to look for him, and my second uncle also sent someone to write a letter to my third uncle. I think we should keep this news secret now, and not give those people from the Yu family any opportunity to take advantage of it." After all, Su Yanci is very valuable to them.

Su Suwan was naturally worried, but she had to suppress her panic.

"That's right, Grandfather also has to keep it a secret."

The two of them quickly got on the carriage and headed towards Su's house. Xie Yin, who was behind them, became suspicious after seeing the strange expressions on the brother and sister's faces.

The rain had stopped and the air was foggy.

Xie Yin stood by the window and looked at the note in his hand, "Mr. Su is missing."

Cang Yi was surprised, "Was he kidnapped by the Yu Party?"

Xie Yin shook his head. "I don't know yet. Are there any abnormalities with Liu Wei and Zheng Weilan?"

"The people below reported that they are still doing the same as before, and every convoy out of the city is normal. But it is more frequent than before."

"Tell Jingzhe to send a few more people to keep an eye on you, and you will follow me into the palace."

"Yes."

At this moment, the Su family was even more anxious than Xie Yin.

The family gathered in the side hall, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"The letter was sent by Ping An, who is close to my father. He is now blocked in Yizhou and cannot return to the capital. According to him, my father was kidnapped when he passed through Ningzhou." In order to protect the people in the mountains, Su Yanci deliberately ran in the opposite direction, scaring people and being scattered, which gave the criminals a greater opportunity.

Su Yanshu frowned as he pondered the possibility. This time, Su Yanci came out of seclusion to inform Su Yanzhao that the Yu family was planning a big move. They had lost trust in the Su family and were trying to seize the military power from Su Yanzhao to prevent future troubles.

"People in the south wrote that they are already looking for clues. The most urgent thing is to test the details of the Yu Party." If it was really them, there would be no way they would not be exposed. But if not, his test would reveal his identity and he was afraid that it would increase Su Yanci's danger.

"It's already the end of the year, and many of the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital are taking advantage of this time to seek personal gain, and there will also be conflicts of interest among them. If something is revealed, it may not be blamed on the Su family."

Su Yanshu looked at Su Wan again and said with a softer expression, "Wan'er, don't worry too much. They only want your father's military token. If they can't find him, they won't dare to attack your father."

Su Wan clutched her handkerchief tightly. It would be a lie to say she wasn't worried, but right now, she was more focused on expanding her search. She had limited personnel, and those who needed to be mobilized had already dispersed. The only people who could help her were Xie Yin and Shen Wenqin's men in Yangzhou.

Su Wan smiled lightly, "I know, but surveillance alone won't work. How can we test them?"

Su Yanshu narrowed his eyes. Su Wan's worry was his own. Today was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the palace's year-end banquet was still several dozen days away. They couldn't wait. As the name suggests, the year-end banquet is held before New Year's Eve, when His Majesty shows his sympathy for his ministers' hard work throughout the year. Originally held on New Year's Eve, it had been held at the end of the year since the previous emperor showed sympathy for his ministers.

During the silence, Taifu Su suddenly sent someone to find Su Yanshu, and they had no choice but to disperse with their heads down.

Only after returning to the yard did Su Wan collapse.

Liu Shang and Liu Yan knew that Su Wan needed to stay quietly by the side and watch Su Wan plan on paper.

There was a knock on the window, and Su Wan opened it.

The light gradually brightened, and the person opposite looked at her so gently, with eyes as clear as water. Su Wan's bitterness suddenly surged in her heart.

"Does the county lady welcome me?" Xie Yin said with a smile.

Su Wan pursed her lips and nodded.

案前

"Today I entered the palace and asked for a favor from His Majesty."

Su Wan: "What grace?"

"Year-end banquet."

"When?"

"Three days later." When Xie Yin entered the palace, Emperor Jingdi was troubled by an invasion on the northern border. Xie Yin casually suggested sending Erlang of the Yu family to quell the rebellion. Seeing Emperor Jingdi's delight, Xie Yin immediately suggested that Yuhui, who was stationed in the south, be brought back to the capital for the New Year's Eve banquet. The Emperor Jingdi was delighted and immediately agreed with Xie Yin to move the banquet up to three days later.

"That day I will test Liu Wei, and Yu Lang will be handed over to Lord Su."

Su Wan felt warm in her heart. Liu Wei and the Su family were not on good terms. If Su Yanshu arrogantly tested him, it would definitely arouse his vigilance.

"I'll remind him."

Xie Yin nodded and looked at the person opposite him in the light. She must be in a bad mood at the moment.

"Don't worry, sir, you are wise and understanding, and you have family members who care about you, so you will definitely overcome the danger."

Su Wan smiled faintly, "It would be a lie to say I'm not worried, but all I can do is use the time I spend worrying to find a way to save my father."

Xie Yin curled his lips, "You have always been so smart and strong."

When their eyes met, there was an indescribable tenderness and love.

"I have to go now."

Looking at Xie Yin's back, Su Wan called out, "Wait."

Xie Yin turned around, tilted his head and said lovingly, "Does the county lady have any other instructions?"

Su Wan lowered her eyes and smiled shyly, "Thank you, and please be careful."

Xie Yin flattened his lips, waved his hand and said, "I don't like such politeness." Then he disappeared.
