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

Seeing Su Wan staring at him intently, as if she could see through him, Zheng Yanchen's heart trembled. What was going on? Was he actually afraid?

He calmed down and tried his best to regain his former majesty. He lowered his eyes and looked at Su Wan with a bit of coldness.

"What do you mean? What can we think?"

"If that's the case, my husband, why are you so delusional? What's the matter? Is it gratitude to obey your wishes, and treason to disobey them? Father broke his vow and went through the trouble of coming here in person. Ask yourself, is this not sincere enough?"

Su Wan continued, "A gentleman's conduct should value friendship and gratitude. If someone treats me with courtesy, I must return the favor with courtesy. Only by responding to sincerity with sincerity can one demonstrate the demeanor of a gentleman. My husband, you are a gentleman."

Zheng Yanchen felt angry and surprised when he saw Su Wan, who used to be weak by nature, now retorting to him with sharp words.

"Su Wan, what's been going on with you these past two days?"

She was so rude before, and now she's even talking back to him. I thought yesterday's incident was over, but I didn't expect her to be so aggressive!

Su Wan took a step forward and looked up at the man who was a head taller than her, but the majesty in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"What do you think?"

Zheng Yanchen frowned slightly and began to recall the past.

"Are you blaming me for leaving you alone when we got married? Or am I neglecting you for the past six months?"

Su Wan said nothing.

"Or do you resent mother's harsh criticism of you?"

Zheng Yanchen sighed loudly and said, "Don't be ungrateful. I have my own difficulties, and what we are saying to you is for your own good!"

Su Wan snorted coldly, "I say the same thing to you. My father also feels sorry for the two of us, so please don't be ungrateful!"

"you!"

Zheng Yanchen was choked and speechless. Staring at the veiled girl in front of him, he felt that there was also a veil between him and Su Wan, and he couldn't see through it at all.

It was not until the servants came to look for him that Zheng Yanchen left with a flick of his sleeves.

Su Wan looked at the hurried figure and wondered, could it not be him? Who else could it be?

……

After settling down, Su Wan returned to the living room. The living room was unusually quiet. Zheng Yanchen's face looked obviously unhappy, while Zheng Weilan had a fake smile on his face.

It seems that the answer given by the father cannot satisfy the Zheng family.

"Brother Su, it's been a while since we last met. Let's get drunk today."

Su Yanci stood up and replied, "That's how it should be. It's just that I finally managed to get out of the valley, and I have to meet some friends and talk. I really can't stay for long. I'm really sorry."

Su Wan immediately stood up, "Father!"

Su Yanci turned around and smiled at his daughter, his eyes slightly red. "It will be the same when I come to see you again in the future."

Su Wan felt even more reluctant to leave, but her father was in a difficult situation, and it was not easy for him to come and see her.

But she didn't know what her father planned to do next, so how would she meet him again in the future?

Su Yanci also noticed the anxiety in Su Wan's heart. He said gently, "Don't worry, I will also take care of the girl from the Liu family."

Su Wan smiled easily.

Of course, Su Wan wasn't the only one who felt reluctant. For the Zheng family, Su Yanci's departure from the valley was a complete surprise, upsetting their long-planned plans. But now that this opportunity was gone, when would the next one be? Thinking of this, the Zheng family felt a pang of frustration.

Su Yanci gave a few more instructions and then said goodbye.

Su Wan wanted to see him off but was stopped by her father and had to give up.

She looked at the tall and lonely figure, her heart filled with reluctance. She still had many questions to ask.

She wanted to ask what had happened that had driven him to commit suicide, when there was clearly room for reconciliation. Too many questions lingered in her mind, but now was no longer the right time to ask them.

After returning to the yard, they learned that they had to return to Beijing early the next morning, and the servants became busy.

The people around her were puzzled when they saw that the Zheng family had a strange attitude towards Su Wan.

Su Wan smiled knowingly, "People come for profit, and they leave for profit. They didn't get what they wanted, so they think I'm useless."

Liu Shang was so angry that he pinched his waist and said, "Humph, what kind of person is this! I feel so sorry for you, girl. Your dowry was embezzled, and now you still have the nerve to ask Mr. Su for something. How can I treat a family like this in the future?"

Speaking of the dowry, I remembered the eldest wife in the Zheng family who is in charge of the household affairs, Su Wan's sister-in-law Qin, who loves to delve into petty profits.

Logically, if the Wen family enjoyed their retirement, Su Wan, the future wife of the Duke and future Crown Prince, should have managed the family estate. However, when Su Wan married into the Zheng family, they gave the power of attorney to Qin, citing her frail nature and inadequate health.

Su Wan raised her eyes and said, "You're right, you can't stay in such a family forever."

……

The next morning, they burned incense before returning to Shangjing in a grand carriage. Three days later, before sunset, they arrived back at the Duke's Mansion. Zheng Weilan and Zheng Yanchen had entered the palace on business.

After returning to Zheng's house, Su Wan put away the gifts she brought back and went to Youchun Hall.

In Youchun Hall, Wen was teasing her grandson in her arms, while Qin, who was accompanying her, was full of pride.

Su Wan was eating the snacks on the table with a bored look on her face.

"Is there anything important happening in the mansion recently?" Wen asked.

"They are just trivial matters. Don't worry, mother-in-law, I can handle it." Qin said, "But I see that you look a little tired. Are you a little exhausted?"

Wen glanced at Su Wan, who was sitting below her, and snorted, "If you spoil someone who is worry-free, you'll naturally spoil them by making them more troublesome."

Seeing that Su Wan was unmoved, Wen Shi continued, "Have you arranged all the things you brought back? Your father has been preparing them for a long time. Do you really want others to worry about it?"

Su Wanwen smiled and said, "Mother-in-law is right. I have already personally arranged it just now. Please rest assured."

"What gift?" Qin's eyes sparkled.

"What else could it be? It's a gift for Mr. Su." Wen said depressedly.

"You didn't give it away?" Qin seemed a little surprised. "Could it be that those gifts were not good?"

Wen's expression turned even uglier. "You didn't even let me in. It's more than just that you didn't like me."

Qin's eyes widened in genuine surprise. He was just a man who had never entered the officialdom, and the Su family was now declining. How could Su Yanci dare to be so rude!

When Wen thought about all the trouble her son had gone through, how could her anger subside when he got nothing and was even injured?

What she didn't know was that Zheng Weilan and his son were now facing another difficult problem.

After leaving the palace and returning to the study, the two were still filled with anger because they had found nothing. Unexpectedly, the servant's news shocked them even more.

"What did you say? There was a huge explosion in Peach Blossom Valley, and now there's no one left?"

The servant didn't dare to look up when he heard Zheng Yanchen's question.

"Two days ago, our men finally found the entrance following a sound, but when we entered, we saw only two corpses. We wanted to explore further, but a hail of arrows erupted from nowhere, killing most of our men."

The servants' voices grew quieter and quieter, and the mood of the father and son plummeted to the bottom.

Zheng Weilan was about to wave the man away when he heard him continue, "There's more."

Zheng Weilan gritted his teeth and said, "What else!"

"The incident in Peach Blossom Valley caused such a sensation that it has already alarmed the local historians and the government office."

Zheng Weilan closed his eyes tightly and said in a deep voice, "I understand."

The man retreated silently.

"wrong!"

Hearing his father speak, Zheng Yanchen stepped forward and asked, "Father, are you saying this is strange?"

Father Zheng stroked his beard as he paced back and forth, thinking, "Su Yanci had just left for a day when something happened in Peach Blossom Valley. Furthermore, there was an ambush inside. I'm afraid they had been prepared for this."

Zheng Yanchen raised his eyelids and said, "Someone reported the news in advance? But in this matter, apart from us, Uncle Yu and that person, there is no need for him to betray us."

Zheng Weilan pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked outside the door. "Someone, go get the Second Young Master's wife!"
