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

"When did you come back?" Su Wan asked Su Lin with wide eyes in the carriage.

Su Lin said gently, "Yesterday, my aunt was worried and told me the truth. I was waiting at the agreed location, but you didn't show up. I heard from the servant that you told me to come and greet you if I didn't see you there, so I came."

Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily, brother is here, otherwise I would have been injured today."

Su Lin sighed, "You still know? It's good for you to go out and relax, but you can't go so far away."

Su Wan was a little embarrassed. "I was thinking of buying some medicinal herbs, but I was ambushed by someone."

Seeing Su Wan lowering her head, Su Lin couldn't bear to blame her, so he smoothed her hair and said, "It seems like you've noticed it a long time ago?"

Su Wan nodded. "When I was in Yangzhou, someone followed me and tried to assassinate me once. I hid myself but was afraid of encountering them again when I returned, so I asked my aunt for help."

Xie Yin's face tensed when he heard this, "Are you injured?"

"Don't worry, brother. The guards I brought are all capable." Su Wan naturally couldn't tell Su Lin about Xie Yin. Firstly, there was a difference between men and women, and if Su Lin knew about it, he would probably have an extra layer of worry. Secondly, Su Lin didn't seem to like Xie Yin, so it was better for her not to mention it.

"But you never leave the house after returning home. Have you ever offended anyone?" Su Lin lowered his eyes and analyzed: "Could it be the Zheng family?"

"But everyone knows that we have a falling out. What good will it do them if I die? Also, there is no point in killing me since things have already turned out like this." Su Wan analyzed.

Su Wan had initially assumed her good aunt and the Jiang family wouldn't miss this opportunity. But now, Su Wan was beginning to doubt it. Were the refugees and archers arranged by the Jiang family? It was clearly unnecessary.

"Do you mean that there was more than one person who killed you?" When Su Lin looked at Su Wan, his handsome face lost its previous carefree smile.

This was beyond Su Wan's expectations. She could only wait for Xie Yin's secret guards to find the person who secretly shot the arrow before making a long-term plan.

The two quickly returned to the Su residence. Someone had earlier reported that Su Wan had returned safely, but had encountered an assassination attempt on the way. The family's hearts were in their throats, anxiously awaiting Su Wan's return.

When Su Wan and Su Lin arrived at the side hall of the back house, Cheng and Su Yanshu had already come out to greet them.

"What happened?" Cheng held Su Wan's hand, her face full of worry.

Su Wan: "Don't worry, auntie, we are not hurt."

"I'm glad you weren't hurt. Where did you go, Wan'er? You made everyone in your family so worried." Su Si Niang asked from behind.

"I just went to visit a farm outside the city and stayed there for a few days. Who could have imagined that I would encounter such a disaster on my way back?"

"Okay, sit down first." Su Yanshu reminded.

Arriving at the side hall, Su Wan recounted her experiences one by one. Su Yanshu and his wife frowned, thinking that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind the assassination. Su Wan also observed Su Siniang's reaction intentionally or unintentionally. She could sense that this incident must have something to do with Su Siniang.

Su Wan and her family had dinner until the sun set. Because she was physically and mentally exhausted and because Master Su was in poor health, Su Wan did not want to reveal too much in front of him and hurried back to Tingyuxuan.

"Madam, Manager Liu is here."

"Let him in quickly."

When Liuyan went out to invite someone in, he saw that Manager Liu who came in also had a bad look on his face.

"This old slave has met my wife."

Su Wan smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, you've worked hard these days. Come over and talk."

When Manager Liu walked around the screen and saw Su Wan looking at him with a smile, his brows relaxed a lot.

"It's all because of the old slave's improper arrangements."

Su Wan said gently, "Uncle Liu, this is all my own decision. It has nothing to do with you."

After hearing Su Wan's comfort, Manager Liu finally let go of the guilt and regret in his heart and began to report what had happened in the past few days.

"The fourth lady hasn't been in frequent contact with the Jiang family these days. A woman from the travel area came to see you, but when she saw you weren't there, she stopped you without saying anything. Also, Princess Anle seems to be asking about you in the palace."

Su Wan raised her eyes, looked at Manager Liu and asked, "Princess Anle?"

This was the second time Su Wan had heard this name; the last time was in connection with Xie Yin. If it wasn't related to Xie Yin, why would he have paid attention to her for no reason? That meant her association with Xie Yin had leaked out.

Su Wan clenched her fists tightly on the table.

"Miss."

"what?"

Seeing that Su Wan looked uneasy, Manager Liu perked up and asked, "Should we send someone to find out more?"

Su Wan: "No need! The most important thing right now is the assassination. Also, send someone to find out the whereabouts and background of that lady."

"Don't worry, my lady. People have already gone to investigate. Also, when Liu Shang and I were cleaning up the mess, we discovered that the leader who led the refugees in the riot was missing. It seems he was mixed in with them. They knew you would pass by, so they were waiting for you there."

Su Wan nodded. "Someone will take care of the archery. Your mission is to find the refugee who caused the trouble. Also, you must keep an eye on the Jiang and Yu families."

"Yes."

After Manager Liu left, Su Wan leaned on the table with a frown on her face and a solemn expression.

"Madam, why did you suddenly notice the Yu family? Didn't you say they are the big guys and can't be easily provoked?"

"Yes, but we can't just do nothing. My association with Xie Yin in Yangzhou must have been discovered."

"What?" Liuyan's heart trembled upon hearing this. This was a serious matter. If someone with ulterior motives spread the news, my wife's reputation would be ruined. Worse still, someone might take the opportunity to attack the Su family. By then, I'm afraid even the Xie family wouldn't let them go.

"Could it be the Zheng family? He's holding a grudge and looking for an opportunity to take revenge."

"Really? If that were the case, the rumor would have already spread by the time I came back. What are they waiting for?"

Rumor's face became more and more gloomy. Su Wan took a piece of paper and started writing and drawing on it.

At this moment, Su Wan listed all the people who might be involved.

If someone from the inner court was asking about him, it must be someone with influence in the inner court, and he couldn't think of anyone better than the Yu family. The Jiang family wasn't qualified, and rumor had it that the princess didn't like hanging out with women from aristocratic families, so someone must have been using the Yu family as a liaison. But Xie Yin had said he could act with confidence.

Yes, if he is targeted by people in the capital, what good will it do him? Therefore, if he wants to know what is going on between the two of them, then he must be someone that even Su Wan and Xie Yin would not expect.

Su Wan sat listlessly at the desk, and suddenly remembered the girl's question that day. How could even Xie Yin not notice it?

At this moment, Xie Yin was also sitting at the desk thinking about this girl.

"Young Master, regarding the night raid, one person has confessed. He said they don't know who the real master is. They were always assigned tasks by a bearded middle-aged man. All we know is that the person behind it is from the capital, and their goal is to kill you."

Xie Yin crossed his hands and supported his chin and said, "Do you believe it?"

Cang Yi and Jing Zhe raised their heads, their brows etched with confusion. They recalled how, despite the extreme danger that day, they had clearly not resorted to killing.
