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

There was a sound of rain outside the window, and the breeze blew through the window, gently blowing the candlelight, making it sway.

Xie Yin's beautiful face was a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. The dim candlelight cast a shadow over his face, outlining its deep contours.

After a moment, Su Wan slowly spoke, her voice flowing like a clear spring: "Thank you, Chief, please don't misunderstand me. Everything you did made sense. If you don't kill her, many variables will definitely arise. Why should you be soft-hearted with such a person? I am just a weak woman, and I have little experience in killing people. I hope you don't think too much."

Su Wan met Xie Yin's penetrating gaze, her smile still as soft as ever. "Master Xie, just firmly follow your own path. Why worry about what others think?"

"Then will you come with me?" Xie Yin stared at Su Wan and asked suddenly.

Su Wan's eyes flickered slightly, and then the corners of her mouth rose, and she said jokingly, "Thank you, Chief, you and I are in the same boat. If you are ill, how can I be immune?"

Listen, these words are so righteous, but beneath that gentle righteousness, there is a hint of ruthlessness.

Xie Yin lowered his eyes, a bitter smile escaped from his nose, he nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, you will not be implicated under any circumstances." He paused and continued: "I should have come back earlier, but that woman seems to know many secrets of Dachang and Beixia. She threatened me with this, and I can't let her live." Xie Yin's voice was slightly low, with a hint of loss, but he still wanted to explain.

Su Wan nodded nonchalantly, "Then what about those assassins today? Are they from the Yu family?"

"It doesn't seem like it." Xie Yin pondered. If it was really the Yu family, why would they go to the trouble of stealing the child? Was it just to distract Jingzhe? This didn't make sense.

"I think their target may not be us. The situation is changing rapidly now. We should leave as soon as possible tomorrow."

"it is good."

After explaining the main business, Xie Yin wanted to say something, but when he saw Su Wan staring at him blankly and had no intention of talking about other things, the words Xie Yin wanted to say got stuck in his throat.

"Forget it." Xie Yin murmured.

"What? Xie Shousi, would you like a cup of hot tea?"

Xie Yin opened his eyelids and looked at Su Wan's clear eyes, then turned his head away and smiled helplessly.

She clearly knows everything, but she pretends to be ignorant. How heartless.

Xie Yin didn't want to respond to Su Wan, so he turned and walked out the door. Su Wan smiled and said goodbye to the lost figure. After the door was really closed, she came to the door and pressed her hands on it, feeling a little uneasy.

She was also married, unlike those ignorant young girls in the boudoir. Because of this, she had to remain sober and rational. She admitted that she recognized Xie Yin in some aspects, but this was definitely not related to any emotional connection. In this life, she only wanted to protect her family.

Xie Yin did not leave immediately after he went out. He stood in front of the door and seemed a little dazed. It was not until Jingzhe came over that the two of them returned to the room.

"I went to check, and the innkeeper said that several children seemed to have gone missing in the area in recent days."

Xie Yin's brows tightened, "Didn't you report it to the police?"

"We reported it, but we couldn't find the perpetrators. The local government sent people to investigate the bandit den, but they weren't bandits. The government, along with the children's families, searched for them for a long time, but we couldn't find any bodies, either alive or dead."

"It's just strange. If they were to steal the child and were caught, they should have run away immediately. Why would they come looking for us?"

Xie Yin looked at the flickering candlelight before the table, thinking about Jingzhe's words. Jingzhe was right. Why? It meant these people knew them. Did they just happen to bump into them while passing by and wanted to test the waters?

But is this person targeting me or Su Wan?

Xie Yin was distracted when he saw Jingzhe looking at him stupidly. His face darkened. "Is the hot soup ready?"

"not yet!"

"Tell them to hurry up and send it to Madam Su as soon as it's done."

"Yes."

The next day, Su Wan and Liu Shang washed up early and followed Xie Yin back to the capital. They didn't say much along the way.

After arriving in the capital, Liuyan heard the news and went to the pharmacy early to wait for Su Wan. Liuyan said that her second aunt had been busy making clothes for the banquet and winter, and had a lot of other things to deal with, so she only sent someone to ask about Su Wan. Liuyan avoided the questioning, saying that Su Wan was focused on the shop.

Su Wan did not go back to the Su Mansion directly, but went straight to Fang Jinyue's home.

That peaceful alley was so quiet that time seemed to have slowed down. Su Wan turned the corner and came to the place Fang Jinyue told her.

She just raised her hand to knock on the door when it creaked and opened unexpectedly by itself.

Su Wan's eyes widened in shock as a man in lavish attire emerged. His hair was a mess, and his face was filthy, a look that seemed at odds with his elegant attire. Su Wan opened her mouth, but before she could utter a single word, Liu Shang quickly pushed her behind him.

Xiao Yucheng came out and hummed, "You're looking for someone."

Su Wan remained silent. Xiao Yucheng raised his thumb and pointed behind him, saying, "That old witch..."

"boom!"

"what!"

Before Xiao Yucheng could finish his words, an unidentified object flew out from the door and headed straight for the back of Xiao Yucheng's head. The man's eyes turned red with pain.

Su Wan was startled.

Despite the tragedy, Xiao Yucheng did not forget his masculine demeanor. "Well, don't mind. She shouldn't treat you like this." He bent down to pick up the wooden ladle from the ground, weighed it in his hand, and said with a smile, "My head almost became yours."

He pursed his lips and smoothed his hair back with his hands, saying with a smile on his face, "What's your name, ma'am? My name is..."

"presumptuous!"

Xiao Yucheng was interrupted again. He looked at Liushang and saw that the girl was guarding against him as if he were a lecher. He felt extremely helpless.

Xiao Yucheng handed the ladle to Liu Shang and said, "Give this to that old, ahem, beautiful and generous young lady. Tell her I'll be back! My patience, like my grace, is one of my virtues."

He was afraid that Liu Shang would not take it, so he stuffed the thing directly into Liu Shang's arms, left a sentence "That's it," and turned and left.

Su Wan let out a breath, pushed the door open and walked into the yard, where she saw Fang Jinyue drying pears. In addition to some dried fruits, medicinal herbs were also drying in the yard.

Fang Jinyue quickly put down her work when she saw someone coming, dusted off her clothes and said, "This is Madam Su's first time here. She must be bringing good news, right?"

Su Wan took off the veil and said with a smile, "Yes, I have something to discuss with my wife."

Fang Jinyue made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them entered the house.

After Xie Yin returned to Xie Mansion, someone came to report that Yu Lang had been going to a place to meet someone in recent days. Xie Yin guessed that this person might be the master behind the scenes that Su Wan mentioned, so he sent people to keep an eye on him carefully so as not to alert the enemy.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Chrysanthemum Viewing Banquet. On this day, all the wealthy families came to the banquet with their children in gorgeous clothes. Since it was a banquet hosted by the Queen Mother, no one dared not attend.

"I heard that the lady from the Su family is also coming to the banquet?" A woman in light blue clothes walked around the stone bridge and chatted with the woman in pink next to her.

The pink-dressed woman snorted and laughed, "What a freak! Instead of staying at home, he always comes out to cause trouble for others!" She became furious when she thought of her sister Liu Yurong being bullied by that ugly guy.

The two of them came to the back garden while chatting and laughing, and just happened to see Princess Liuli walking towards them.
