"It's good that you came back safely. The second lady shook the fan in her hand and said, "My heart is hanging these days, I haven't found your body for a day, and I don't believe that you just went like this, but fortunately I can sleep peacefully now." ”

"Worries you. Su Juan smiled slightly, "You have to worry about the matter of the third lady." ”

"Ziwei Palace came forward, although she was released, but the Hou Mansion can't stay, I will arrange to send her to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, if those two young ladies marry well in the future, there will be a chance to come back." She and I have been sisters for many years, and I won't let him be wronged. ”

The second lady paused and continued: "This time, who is really doing the ghost, everyone knows it, I thought it would be a heavy blow to the Su Liu family, but I didn't expect to let her escape, I am still a little unwilling in my heart." ”

"You are unwilling, she didn't kill me, she is afraid in her heart and will not be reconciled. Su Tang'an smiled faintly, "As long as there is this unwilling existence, I will shoot again, and as long as I make a move, there will be flaws exposed." ”

She played with the folding fan in her hand, gently put it away, glanced at the second lady, and said, "Don't worry, there will always be a chance." ”

The second lady still had a lot of questions in her heart, but she felt that she had not yet reached the point of knowing everything between her and Su Tang'an, so she didn't ask her doubts, and she was a little sad in her heart, and said: "Since this matter involves the prince, the Liu family, and even the Marquis of Xuanyuan, you may face more dangers and difficulties in the future, so be careful." ”

"I know. ”

The second lady briefly said what happened in the Hou Mansion during Su Cheng'an's absence, and sighed: "Although the Su Liu clan is not liked by the Hou Ye, but the background is deep, it is indeed not easy to bring her down. A few days ago, the old lady in Suzhou also sent a letter, warning the Hou Ye not to divorce his wife, and in a few days the old lady and the eldest lady will come back, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult to shake her status, if you want to completely overthrow her, you have to hurry up. ”

Su Tang'an nodded lightly and said, "Slowly, don't worry." ”

At this time, the maid opened the curtain and went inside to report: "Second lady, fifth lady, second lady is outside asking to see." ”

"Let her in. ”

After a while, I saw Su Yulian enter with red eyes, walked straight to Su Yu'an and knelt down, lowered his eyes and said: "Although my mother was driven out of the Hou Mansion, it is already a great thing that I can save my life, and my mother was able to get out of danger this time, thanks to the help of the fifth sister." You are the benefactor of our mother and daughter, and if the fifth sister needs me in the future, I will never give up. ”

"You get up first. Su Tang'an helped Su Yu up, "Don't be too grateful to me, I just don't want innocent people to be implicated." When you go back, remind your sister that if you have bad intentions towards me again, I won't stop like this time. ”

"After this time, I also saw through her, I was blinded by fame and fortune, and I didn't even want my conscience. Su Yulian bit her lip and said, "I will teach her a good lesson, if there is a next time, you don't have to be polite, she should take some lessons." ”

Su Yu's eyes turned slightly, with a hesitant look on his face, and said, "There is one thing I think is better to tell you." I've heard some rumors recently, although it's just some rumors, some people in the house are chewing their tongues, saying that the fifth sister is not born to her father, although it's just some words to catch the wind, but if it is amplified by others, it will be bad to make some trouble. ”

"It's too bold to have such gossip. The second lady frowned angrily, "Fifth Miss, don't worry, I will definitely find out about this matter." ”

Su Cheng'an nodded, with her current identity and background, the subordinates dare not arrange it at will behind her back, someone must have deliberately revealed the tone, and only Su Liu's family has the courage in this Hou Mansion, but what is her purpose in doing this?

The wind at night is already slightly cool. A bright moon hung in the air, sprinkling wisps of silver light.

Su Cheng'an washed her head, her waterfall-like hair was half-dried and scattered, she was thinking deeply, with some sadness in her eyes, but because of such a defenseless moment, her temperament had a sense of coldness, and she was in the moonlight, but it seemed to be hidden in the night.

A short whistle sounded, Su Cheng'an turned his head, glanced at the man leaning on the railing of the corridor, smiled faintly, and said, "In the middle of the night, what are you doing?"

"Naturally, I'm here to see you. Gu Tingjun was dressed in white, especially clear under the moonlight, and his eyebrows were picturesque, "I haven't seen you for many days, have you ever missed me?"

At this moment, the people in the courtyard have already fallen asleep, and the footsteps of the courtyard outside have just left.

Su Tang'an frowned slightly, and asked indifferently, "What about you?"

Gu Tingjun didn't reply, slowly walked a few steps forward, squatted in front of Su Ju'an, gently twisted her hair to the tip of her nose, sniffed it, and said: "It's the fragrance of acacia flowers, and my mother also likes to use such a sophora flower scented head oil." When I was young, I liked to sleep in her arms, and I felt at ease when I smelled the faint fragrance of acacia flowers. ”

"Let's be straight, what are you looking for me to do?" Su Tang'an coughed lightly, and asked with a faint gaze looking directly into Gu Tingjun's eyes.

"First, I'm worried about you, I miss you, so I'll come to see you. Second, Liu Sihan is not a person who values love and righteousness, this time he will do whatever it takes to Su Liu's family, and the reason is not simple, I guess maybe Liu Sihan has some handle in the hands of Su Liu's family, you may be able to start from this aspect. Third, someone from Qingzhou wrote to me and said, you disappeared for a while, can you tell me where you went?" Gu Tingjun asked with a slight raised eyebrow and a smile.

"Do I have to tell you?" Su Tang'an's eyes rolled slightly, "I don't have the obligation to report my trip to you, do I?"

"Don't you say that I know, I went back to that small village again, right?" Gu Tingjun asked, "I asked people to investigate, but that place has been reduced to ashes, what the hell is going on?"

Su Tang'an lowered his eyes and thought for a while and said, "I know I can't hide it from you, and I won't hide it from you either." I did go back to that little village, but when I went back, all the people in the village had been killed, and I killed the killer, and I couldn't figure out the details of the killer. But there's one thing, which you might be able to track down for me, when I was in that village, I was bitten by a small thing, the size of a mouse, and the whole body was pitch black, with very sharp teeth and claws, poisonous, and winged and able to fly. ”

"Is there such a strange creature?" Gu Tingjun frowned, "Since you have been bitten and that thing is poisonous, are you okay now?"

Su Juan shook his head lightly: "It's okay." ”

"I see, I'll check what you're talking about. Gu Tingjun said, and glanced at Su Tang'an's exposed skin again, wanting to find the place where she was injured, but with her strong temperament, she would not take the initiative to expose her wounds.

There was a silence between the two, and Su Tang'an noticed that Gu Tingjun's gaze swept around his chest, slapped it, covered his chest with both hands, and scolded: "Bastard!"

Gu Tingjun covered his face, looked at Su Juan aggrievedly, and said, "I just want to see where you are injured!"

"Where to look, the wound is here. Su Tang'an waved his arm, stretched out his two fingers, pointed at Gu Tingjun's eyes and threatened, "If you dare to look around, beware of me poking you blind!"

Gu Tingjun took the opportunity to grab Su Juan's hand, looked at the shallow scar on her arm, and asked, "Is it here?"

Su Tang'an took his hand back and said, "I'm not so squeamish. ”

"Your master loves you a lot. Gu Tingjun retracted his hand in a daze, "Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifice ceremony, there were some mistakes in the Ministry of Rites, and your master made the Ministry of Rites Shangshu be dismissed with a single letter, and this Ministry of Rites Shangshu is the prince's person." This time, he originally wanted to win over Ziwei Palace, but the final result not only offended Ziwei Palace, but also lost a confidant, which can be said to have lost his wife and soldiers. ”

"That's what he did for himself. Su Ju'an's eyes burst out with a bone-chilling chill, and he said coldly.

After a pause, she said again: "If there is nothing else, you go first, such a big man, breaking into me, if it is seen by other people, do you want my reputation to be gone?"

"What do you care about?"

"I don't care what can happen?" Su Ju'an sneered, "I still expect to marry a good man!"

East Palace.

"Get out!"

With Li Changlong's roar, all the people in the room ran out with their heads down, not daring to stay for a moment.

Zheng Peilan entered, and as soon as she arrived at the door, a cup smashed over, accompanied by a scolding: "Who let you in." ”

Zheng Peilan turned her head to dodge and said lightly: "It's me!"

Li Changlong's face improved slightly, but he still had a touch of anger and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"When do I need a reason to come to you?" Zheng Peilan walked over to Li Changlong gracefully, rubbed his shoulder, and asked softly, "Why did you lose your temper so much?"

"It's not the Liu family's business, for the sake of a woman, now I have offended Ziwei Palace, I really don't know what my uncle thinks, and he actually wants me to keep this woman. Li Changlong said gloomily, "Everyone knows the truth of this matter, how do you want me to win over Ziwei Palace in the future." There is also that Su Cheng'an, who actually came back without dying, but she used her to collect Gong You, but now it looks like this step is not so easy to take. ”

Zheng Peilan's eyes rolled slightly, and said with a smile: "Are you reluctant to Ziwei Palace or reluctant to Su Cheng'an?" Ziwei Palace has always been neutral, although you have not been able to win over Ziwei Palace this time, it does not mean that Ziwei Palace will fall to the second prince, and a Ministry of Rites Shangshu is enough to make Gong You discourage. As for Su Tang'an, aren't you the best at coaxing women?
