Su Li remained calm, her gaze fixed on Pei Xiao. "You're here. I was just thinking you should be here soon."

Her tone was calm, yet it subtly revealed a hint of anticipation.

Pei Xiao couldn't possibly be unaware of what had happened before; perhaps he could provide some clues.

Pei Xiao stepped closer, his gaze sweeping around the courtyard before landing on Su Li. "Some tricky matters have delayed things for a while. Has everything been peaceful here lately?"

These words, seemingly a casual greeting, actually contained a hidden probe; he was also observing Su Li's reaction.

"On the surface, everything seems calm, but after what happened last time, I still feel uneasy."

Su Li gently shook her head and put down the broom. "Do you know anything about those people?"

Pei Xiao nodded slightly, his expression turning serious, and his tone becoming solemn:

"We've captured a suspect alive, and we've managed to get some information out of him that might interest you. They're after an important person who was rescued; they've received orders from above to eliminate him completely. However, they don't know the identity of the person who was rescued."

Upon hearing this, Su Li's heart skipped a beat, and the image of the Ninth Prince instantly flashed into her mind.

She tried her best to keep her composure, showing only a hint of surprise on her face, and pressed on, "That's all? Didn't you find out who's behind this?"

Pei Xiao stared intently at Su Li, not missing a single subtle expression, and slowly spoke:

"If you keep asking him, he'll bite his tongue and kill himself. But the power behind such a well-trained assassin must be extraordinary."

Su Li nodded silently, her expression cold and stern. After a moment of thought, she said, "This matter is full of suspicious points. How could a rescued person of unknown identity attract such a large-scale manhunt? There must be huge interests and power involved behind it. It may be intricately connected with the power struggles in the imperial court."

Her tone was calm, and every word conveyed caution.

Pei Xiao stared at Su Li for a moment, then asked instead of answering, "You always seem to have a special way of thinking about these things. Have you experienced something similar before?"

His eyes held a mixture of inquiry and curiosity.

Su Li's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Pei Xiao had become suspicious, but she was prepared and remained calm. "It's just a deduction based on various signs, not a baseless guess. The situation is complicated now, and we need to think more to avoid being misled by the chaos."

Her answer was watertight, cleverly avoiding Pei Xiao's probing.

Su Li took a deep breath and looked at Pei Xiao with piercing eyes.

At this moment, the sunlight outlined his silhouette. His young face still showed signs of immaturity, but his eyes seemed to have seen many storms and were filled with endless vicissitudes.

"By the way, who was the person who saved me that night?"

Thinking back to that night, if the mysterious person hadn't appeared in time, he would probably have followed in his previous life's footsteps and died.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Pei Xiao's eyes, but he still spoke calmly, "I wasn't home that night. The person who saved you was Lan Xin."

Su Li's pupils contracted involuntarily.

Unexpectedly, that seemingly delicate girl possessed such exceptional skills, and she showed no mercy when it came to killing.

However, Pei Lanxin's willingness to save him must have been at Pei Xiao's behest.

Perhaps, in some mysterious way, fate arranged for the two of them to meet, just to help them escape their predetermined destiny.

With that in mind, Su Li decided to reveal a little bit of key information.

"Please thank her for me. If it weren't for her help, I would probably be dead by now."

As she spoke, she leaned slightly closer, her eyes filled with unwavering certainty, her voice low and deep.

"The person who was saved possesses the power to turn the tide of history. He has a high probability of reaching the pinnacle of power in the future, and even ascending to the throne. We must be careful and guard against him, and we must never allow those with ulterior motives to use him to disrupt the world!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Xiao's expression changed drastically, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes before his gaze sharpened like an eagle's.

He stared intently at Su Li, as if trying to uncover more secrets from her expression.

Just as he was about to ask a question, Su Li turned and left, leaving Pei Xiao standing there, watching her back, lost in thought.

In Su Li's heart, she had already concluded that if the Ninth Prince was really not dead, then it was very likely that Su Zhen was the one who saved him.

Otherwise, why would those assassins relentlessly target the Su family?

It must be that someone from the Su family saved the Ninth Prince, which led them to come for revenge.

My uncle's family had already moved to town, and my grandparents were old and had many inconveniences, so it was impossible for them to save strangers at will.

Therefore, the only family with the best chance of making a move is the second wife's family.

Thinking of this, Su Li couldn't help but sigh. Whether it was a coincidence or an arrangement of fate, the male and female protagonists in the original story finally met in this life.

Su Li's gaze deepened and sharpened. The most urgent task was to find the Ninth Prince as soon as possible.

He was already seriously injured, and then he was stabbed more than a dozen times by himself. Even if he survived by chance, his injuries would be severe, and the recovery time would definitely be much longer than in his previous life.

Based on her speculation, the Ninth Prince was most likely hiding somewhere near the village.

Thinking of this, Su Li frowned slightly, her heart filled with annoyance.

It turns out that Su Zhen hadn't been idle at all these days, and he hadn't even noticed. He had been far too careless...

However, Su Li wasn't the only one who was furious.

Grandma Su sat in the old rattan chair in the courtyard, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan, grumbling under her breath:

"Damn it, what time is it? Why aren't you back in the village yet? Have you been blinded by wealth in town and no longer respect your mother-in-law? Do you really think that just because you're the wife of a rich family, you can abandon your old mother?"

She became more and more agitated as she cursed, her wrinkles crinkling with anger. "We shouldn't have let them go to town in the first place! They went and never thought of coming back! Ungrateful wretches! They're all ungrateful wretches!"

Yes, Zhou, who had originally agreed to stay in town for five days and then return, has not been heard from at all.

Clearly, she had no intention of coming back.

All those confident promises they made were just a way to fool the old lady.

Meanwhile, in the Su family mansion in town, Uncle Su paced back and forth in the hall, his face full of conflicted emotions.

Sitting to one side, Zhou's eyes were red-rimmed, and she said anxiously:

"Honey, you can't be foolish! Where in the village is safe these days? You wouldn't believe it, there were thieves the other day. I heard they slashed our front door several times. That door is so thick, it was almost split open! And they still haven't caught the thieves!"

"What if those thieves come back for revenge if we're still in the village? If we go back, our heads will be on our hands all the time, and we might be gone at any moment. Can you really let that go?"

Uncle Su stopped, a righteous expression on his face, and sighed softly.

"That's true, but we can't just leave the old folks at home unattended. They're getting on in years; how can they manage without someone to take care of them?"
