115 ruined Tang Chu Xue

  The sound of footsteps clearly entered her ears, making An Yan's dazed and excited thoughts calm down instantly. She suddenly realized that if she had really known something just now, then she would probably be facing her own death soon. In an instant, she turned her head to look in the direction of the sound, and saw Su San's worried face fall into her eyes. An Yan felt a slight relief in her heart, with a hint of joy in her eyes. However, this expression had not yet reached the bottom of her eyes when she suddenly felt a suffocating sensation on her neck. She looked in the direction of the hand that was strangling her, and saw Tang Chu Xue's face with a smile that was not quite a smile.

  She smiled wryly, and indeed, when people see a glimmer of hope, they often let their guard down. And sure enough, she had been on high alert all along, but the moment she relaxed, someone choked the breath out of her.

  Su San was originally standing in the room, facing the wall and secretly counting down the time until the little woman returned. Last time An Yan also went to that deep alley, Su San secretly remembered the time. Therefore, at this moment, Su San estimated that it wouldn't be more than seven breaths of time. So, after seven breaths of time passed, Su San immediately went out to find An Yan. Indeed, all along the way was empty and desolate, unable to see the figure he was thinking about in his heart, Su San's heart felt increasingly uneasy, sensing that something was amiss. Due to his growing anxiety, Su San's footsteps became faster and faster.

  Before long, they arrived at the small alley. Suddenly turning into the alley, the scene before their eyes made Su San almost burst his eyeballs.

  Su San's face was dark and gloomy, he walked step by step to Tang Chu Xue and the others.

  Tang Chunxue pinched An Yan's neck and slowly turned him around to face Su San. Tang Chunxue had investigated An Yan before, so she naturally knew that there was such a cold-faced husband by his side. However, the information about this man was very limited. Tang Chunxue thought to herself, what kind of good man would like Tang Jinyu, who is so arrogant and willful, and has been kicked out of her family? Looking at the man's age, he must be a useless person, otherwise why did he marry his wife at such an old age? Therefore, when she saw Su San, although she was initially shocked by his aura, she soon became unimpressed.

  She was the second young lady of the Tang family and the young madam of the Ruan estate, with many masters by her side. Among them, Lao Li's skills were rare not only in Qingcheng but also in Nangong. Therefore, at this moment, Tang Chuyue had become somewhat fearless and didn't take Su San seriously.

  At this moment, An Yan was being held in a tight grip by Tang Chu Xue, with a mix of emotions swirling inside her. Her usual calm self had unexpectedly fallen into Tang Chu Xue's trap. At the root of it all, it was because of that persistent obsession in her heart. Tang Shan's sudden move had thrown her into turmoil, making it impossible for her to remain calm. Now, facing Su San with this posture, An Yan couldn't help but feel like she'd been caught doing something wrong. She slightly lowered her head, not daring to look at Su San's dark eyes.

  Su San looked at the little woman with her head down, thinking that she was uncomfortable somewhere, and suddenly felt anxious in her heart, with an even colder expression in her eyes. That woman actually pinched the little woman's neck with her hand.

  Then forget about that hand!

  Tang Chu Xue was completely unaware of the danger approaching, and instead seemed a bit distracted. She tightened her grip on An Yan's hand slightly, her gaze falling on Su San with a mixture of disdain and indifference.

  An Yan's face suddenly turned ugly as she was pressed so hard, and she raised her eyes to look at her with a calm gaze.

  Tang Chu Xue calmly accepted An Yan's gaze, a faint smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with a sense of perverse satisfaction. Many years ago, she wouldn't have dared to believe that one day she could trample Tang Jin Xiu so wantonly. Now, she was the eldest daughter of the merchant family, while Tang Jin Xiu was just an abandoned daughter of the same family. Now, she was Ruan Yu Qing's beloved wife, while Tang Jin Xiu had married a man who was nothing but a has-been. Now, she was pinching Tang Jin Xiu's neck, and Tang Jin Xiu was helpless to do anything about it.

  Su San's gaze grew increasingly somber, with a dark light surging from the depths of his eyes. If this were on the battlefield, those familiar with Su San would know that he was extremely enraged at this moment, and the dark light in his eyes was an omen of bloodlust. Every time Su San's eyes took on this look, the ensuing battle would be utterly brutal. Su San would become like a war god incarnate, a deity on the battlefield, an Asura of the battlefield, against whom no one could stand.

  "Let her go!"

  His voice was unusually hoarse due to the indignation and sorrow in his heart. The tone, echoing in such a dark and quiet alley, carried an inexplicable threat and coldness.

  She suddenly turned her head to look at Su San, and in that instant, she collided with Su San's eyes, which seemed like an extremely dark night. Her body couldn't help but stiffen slightly, and her eyes shrank slightly. At this moment, she was bewildered and afraid of being seen as a threat to Su San.

  Tang Chunxue smiled faintly at this time, her laughter crisp and clear, like the tinkling of a silver bell. After she finished laughing, she looked at Su San with a mocking gaze and said slowly: "Let her go? This young master, I don't know what kind of deity you are? You say let go and then let go, do you think you're some kind of big shot? Do you think this is Green Bamboo Village or some rural backwater where you can behave like a boorish ruffian? Let me tell you, young master, this is Qingcheng. Anyone who comes out here is someone you can't afford to offend. I am Tang Chunxue, the second miss of the Tang family and also the young mistress of the Ruan family, the future mistress of the Ruan household. This kind of status and position in Qingcheng is almost unparalleled. And what are you, daring to speak to me like this?

  Tang Chu Xue's eyes were filled with disdain, her expression was full of mockery, and she didn't take Su San seriously at all.

  As soon as Tang Chu Xue finished speaking, Su San's expression remained solemn and stern, his eyes growing even colder. His gaze fell on Tang Chu Xue like an icy blade, the angle of his eyes unusually menacing. He was secretly evaluating the best angle to strike from while deeply engraving Tang Chu Xue in his mind, waiting for the perfect moment to tear her into a million pieces.

  An Yan's eyebrows furrowed in displeasure as she heard Tang Chu Xue's slanderous words. Originally, her mood was calm, but upon hearing someone vilify Su San like that, a flame of anger rose up in her heart. Suddenly, she felt a pang and turned around to see Su San's hand by his side move slightly, with a flicker of emotion in his eyes. Even without any words, An Yan immediately understood the meaning Su San wanted to convey. Was this what they called "heart-to-heart connection"?

  An's eyes shone with a faint warmth, and the hand under his sleeve suddenly clenched into a fist. He forcefully twisted his neck to one side, and in the instant before Tang Chuyue could react, he swiftly reached out to attack her waist. Tang Chuyue's waist took a heavy blow, causing her entire body to tremble slightly, and her grip on An naturally loosened. Moreover, An took advantage of this opportunity to twist his body, instantly breaking free from Tang Chuyue's control.

  Tang Chusnow didn't expect that An Yan, even when being choked, could still come up with so many tricks. Suddenly, a strong sense of humiliation and provocation arose. At this moment, Tang Chusnow's heart was filled not only with murderous intent but also resentment. She no longer thought about letting An Yan die easily, but rather how to make him suffer in agony before he died. Just as Tang Chusnow's eyes flashed fiercely and she reached out to grab An Yan again, her hand was suddenly struck by a powerful force. In that instant, she felt like her hand was almost crippled. The pain was like the ache of shattered bones.

  Tang Chu Xue's unbelievable turn of the head, looking in the direction where the strong air had just come from, her slightly widened pupils reflected a rapidly approaching black figure.

  "Miss!"

  As Li Lao reacted and rushed to rescue Tang Chu Xue, he was met with a massive palm. He hastily stretched out his hand to block the attack, but the two palms collided, sending Li Lao flying backward as he spat out a mouthful of blood. Tang Chu Xue was shocked, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Li Lao's limp figure on the ground. How could this be? Li Lao was the bodyguard that man had arranged for her, and his martial arts skills were exceptional. At least in Qingcheng, there were hardly anyone who could defeat Li Lao. Even in Nangong, such a person would be rare. And yet, this man had severely injured Li Lao with just one palm strike. This ability was simply terrifying. Tang Chu Xue's heart sank to an all-time low, her eyes trembling slightly as she rapidly thought of a solution.

  At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, several black-clad men brought by Xue also followed to attack Su San. Similarly, they were no match for him, and in the blink of an eye, they had already fallen to the ground. As for Wang Feng, he had already run to the side and hid as soon as Su San rushed over. At this moment, seeing Su San's sudden and violent outburst, he was even more shocked that his soul almost flew away.

  He knew that these two sisters were not ordinary people, the younger sister was ruthless and cruel, and the people around her were not simple. The younger sister seemed gentle and quiet, but this husband who was known as a rustic tyrant was extremely powerful. With a flick of his wrist, he had beaten all the people brought by the younger sister to the ground, and now they couldn't even get up. At this moment, Wang Feng wished that he had never seen Tang Chu Xue before, and hoped that their previous engagement had never happened. Now, he really felt that he was extremely unlucky. A disastrous engagement not only failed to bring him a beautiful woman, but also led to so many unforeseen disasters after several years.

  Wang Feng stole a glance at the other side, and found that the three people standing there at this moment seemed to have not noticed him. He suddenly became agile all over, turned his head and ran wildly. What he hoped most now was to run back home, lock the door tightly, hide under the quilt, and never come out again.

  Just then, Wang Feng couldn't help but think too much. He had only run a few steps when his legs were suddenly struck by two powerful forces, and in an instant, he was unable to support himself and fell forward onto the ground. Immediately, Wang Feng's face turned blue and swollen. Even so, Wang Feng didn't dare make a single sound of pain. Resigned, he lay there with his face down, pretending to be dead! Wang Feng hoped that he could use this to escape this disaster.

  On the other hand, Su San pinched Tang Chu Xue's neck with one hand and gently pulled An Yan into his arms with the other. His gaze quickly swept over An Yan's body before falling on the red mark on An Yan's neck. The mark was extremely obvious on An Yan's slender white neck. The bruise in Su San's eyes grew larger and larger, and a surge of anger burst out from his heart. Su San pinched Tang Chu Xue's neck with a sudden force, almost making a faint cracking sound.

  At the beginning of the snow, she suddenly felt short of breath and a strong sense of suffocation came over her. She had already reported so many identities just now, this man didn't dare to do anything to her. But at this moment, when death was so close to her, she really had a fear of death. Her face was as white as snow, her eyes were panicked, and her lips were trembling rapidly, as if she wanted to say something. However, she almost had no strength to speak.

  An Yan watched this scene with no hint of sympathy on her face. This woman, who had just tried to strangle herself and humiliated Su San, was now...

  Su San's grip was getting tighter and tighter, while he was also secretly observing An Yan's reaction. If An Yan showed a hint of intolerance, Su San would immediately loosen his hand. However, what Su San saw on An Yan's face was always just a faint expression, neither happy nor sad, as if even anger was too much trouble.

  At the moment of infinite contact with death, Tang Chuxue didn't know where she got the strength from, and suddenly shouted out two words: "Bai Shi..."

  As soon as the two words "Bai Shi" came out, a look of doubt immediately appeared on An Yan's face. With the appearance of this doubtful expression, Su San's hand slightly loosened its grip. Allowing Tang Chu Xue to speak, but still making her feel like she was having trouble breathing. Meaning that she should speak carefully, otherwise he could still strangle her with one hand.

  Tang Chunxue's expression changed several times, and the color in her eyes deepened. She was constantly thinking to herself. Today, she must say something that can move Tang Jinyu, otherwise, she might really be in a desperate situation today. Tang Chunxue quickly weighed her options in her mind, and finally opened her mouth under Su San's impatient gaze: "Tang Jinyu, you should know about the traitor in the White family back then, which caused the three White brothers to split up?"

  She had indeed heard something about this matter, and also knew that it was one of her uncle's heart knots. Her uncle hoped that one day, the three brothers of the Bai family would reunite again. Therefore, at this moment, when she heard Tang Chu Xue's words, her heart moved, but her eyes were still calm, without showing any special emotions.

  "What's wrong, don't you want to know?"

  At this moment, she is the bait on the chopping board, and he is the fisherman. Even if she is reluctant in her heart, she can only continue to throw out the bait for survival, constantly probing.

  An's lips curled up slightly as he revealed a faint smile, "Tell me, is it worth trading your life for?"

  When she heard the words, Tang Chusnow almost died of anger, and a mouthful of blood nearly came out. Once this secret is revealed, what's the value of exchange? At this moment, Tang Chusnow remained silent, tightly closing her mouth, she firmly believed that Tang Jinyu would definitely want to know this secret.

  Unfortunately, An Yan spread her hands and had a very helpless look. "Since that's the case, Su San, you'd better send your sister off properly. After all, secrets will eventually be exposed, and the truth will come to light. But life is only this one time. Since my sister isn't sincere, I can only fulfill her wish as her older sister. I just hope that when she reaches the Yellow Springs, she won't regret it."

  As soon as the words fell, Tang Chuxue's face changed greatly. Indeed, she was not a cat demon and did not have nine lives, so she couldn't afford to gamble. Tang Chuxue's face trembled slightly, with patches of red and white, but at this moment, she could only swallow her pride. As long as she had her life, there would naturally be opportunities for her to clear her name in the future. With that thought settled in her mind, Tang Chuxue decided to cooperate fully with An Yan.

  "That traitor is Tangshan, he's our father."

  An Yan's heart was greatly shocked, although he had secretly suspected it before, but he never dared to imagine this terrible possibility. At this moment, when Tang Chu Xue spoke bluntly, An Yan's face remained expressionless, but his heart had already been turned upside down and was in great turmoil.

  Tang Chu Xue saw An Yan's indifferent expression and gritted her teeth, saying: "The formula back then was indeed stolen by Tang Shan. At that time, the other two White elders already suspected Tang Shan. However, White Elder One protected Tang Shan, protecting the man his only daughter Bai Shi loved. That's why he had a fierce argument with White Elder Two and White Elder Three, ultimately parting ways in anger."

  An Yan's eyes flickered slightly, but her hand under the sleeve was clenched tightly. Could it really be Tang Shan? The biological father of this body, the man whom Bai Shi deeply loved. Was it really him who betrayed and stole the secret formula of the Bai family, leading to the tragic separation of the three brothers?

  "Why did Tangshan want to steal the secret formula? At that time, he was already the son-in-law of the White family's eldest son, and as long as he worked hard, his future would be boundless. Why did he take the risk to do something so unprofitable?"

  When she heard this, Tang Chu Xue's eyes surged with fine dark lights, and the corners of her eyes seemed to flash with a strange glow.

  "This I don't know, and there's no place to find out. However, I do know that after the secret recipe was stolen from Tangshan, people from the Yin family of Nanguan did come to the Tang family."

  Nangun's Silver Family!

  Her eyes flickered slightly, and in her heart, she actually believed it a bit. So, what exactly happened that year to make Tang Shan do such a thing?

  "Let me go, and I'll pretend nothing happened today."

  Upon hearing this, An Yan was taken aback and let out a cold laugh. "Nothing has happened? Unless time can flow backwards, Tang Chu Xue, you won't be able to leave here intact today."

  At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Xue felt a chill run down her back, cold sweat dripping, and her hands clenched repeatedly under her sleeves, her fingernails deeply embedded in her palms, but she didn't notice at all. Her eyes were slightly cast down, not daring to look at Su San and An Yan. She just stood quietly, waiting for the final verdict from the two of them.

  At this moment, he didn't have the intention to kill Tang Chu Xue, but only wanted to torture her well to vent his anger.

  In this matter, Su San was completely obedient to An Yan, whatever he said went. At this moment, Su San's gaze fell on An Yan's body, waiting for him to make a decision.

  An's gaze gently swept across Tang Chu Xue's body, finally focusing on one of her hands. That hand had just been clutching her own throat, bringing herself to the brink of death.

  "It doesn't matter if you don't have it."

  Tang Chunxue suddenly lifted her head, her eyes filled with shock and fear, because of the merciless and cruel words in An Yan's speech. Before she could say anything, she felt a sharp pain coming from the hand that had just pinched An Yan. The kind of pain that would stay with her for the rest of her life. As the pain subsided, she felt a sense of powerlessness. In that instant, she couldn't feel the existence of that hand anymore. She looked down in fear and saw that the hand was still there, but it was now twisted into an irregular shape, its original function gone forever.

  Even so, at this moment she had no time to mourn the loss of her crippled hand. At this moment, what she feared was what she would face next.

  An Yan looked at the horrified expression on Tang Chu Xue's face, as well as her irregularly twisted hand, and didn't feel any sense of pleasure in her heart. She remained calm. At this moment, she just wanted to make Tang Chu Xue pay the price for what she had done.

  She was secretly pondering in her heart, her eyes still quietly moving on Tang Chu Xue's body. Every time An Yan's eyes moved, it would be accompanied by a tremble from Tang Chu Xue. This was an uncontrollable fear, she feared that the next victim would be her other hand, or her eyes, or her beautiful face, or even more and more. The unknown threat often made people even more terrified.

  Since Tang Chu Xue wants to deliver herself to the door, then she must deliver a big gift. What is she most concerned about? Is it fame or that beautiful face without equal? Or are they both, and if so, then she will destroy them both. This can also be considered as avenging the original owner of this body, making the woman who robbed Tang Jin Xiu's fiancé pay with what she values most.

  "Her face is too good-looking, it makes me uncomfortable to look at..."

  A soft voice, as if whispering, as if sighing, was blown away by the cold night wind and scattered instantly in all directions.

  Tang Chuxue's face was beyond recognition, her hands were ruined, she could endure. But if her face was ruined, how would she entice Ruan Yuke, how would she keep everything for herself? A woman without beauty, what capital does she have left? Tang Chuxue had nothing since childhood, relying on her own schemes and this beautiful face to get to where she is today. Without her looks, would Ruan Yuke still love her? This question, Tang Chuxue couldn't predict the outcome, nor could she imagine her future fate.

  She raised her head, with deep hatred in her eyes, those hateful thoughts couldn't help but turn into sharp knives, hoping to slowly torture the person she hated most at this moment, Tang Jinxiu.

  Just as she had not yet realized her wish, she felt a strong gust of wind flash across her face. Without seeing Su San make any movement, Tang Chu Xue suddenly felt several icy cold pains on her face, and with this pain, instantly, a slow flow of ice-cold **oozed out. Su San slowly, as if nothing had happened, lightly withdrew his hand.

  At this moment, Tang Chunxue didn't need to look in the mirror to know that her face must be a mess. Her hands clenched into fists under her sleeves, those sharp fingernails digging deep into her palms. It seemed like something sticky was slowly flowing out of her palms and dripping onto the ground, disappearing instantly without leaving any trace. Memories flashed through her mind like a fleeting glimpse, those scenes from the past slowly resurfacing. In those scenes, Tang Jinyu's happy laughter filled the air, but she had always been hiding in a corner, quietly watching the happiness that didn't belong to her, feeling envious, then resentful, and finally deeply hateful. Those scenes had rarely crossed her mind over the past two years as everything went smoothly. But now, they were crystal clear in her mind, like reliving them all over again.

  Su San's hand slowly relaxed, and Tang Chu Xue lost her support. In an instant, her body was like mud, and she slowly fell to the ground. An Yan had originally wanted to ruin Tang Chu Xue's reputation and destroy her good name. However, at this moment, looking at Tang Chu Xue's lifeless appearance, he suddenly felt that all of this seemed to have lost its meaning. What could Tang Chu Xue do after this? Even if she did something else, it wouldn't make a big difference now. On the contrary, perhaps Tang Shan and Ruan Yu Qing would make a fuss about this matter. She had come to Qing Cheng only wanting to let her mother rest and recover in peace, only wanting to live a quiet life.

  "Let's go."

  After saying a few words, he turned around and walked out of the alley.

  But Wang Feng, who was playing dead on the ground, was now terrified and scared. That was Tang's second missus, Ruan Fu's young madam, and that man had actually ruined her face and hand like that. This was really not ordinary arrogance, and at this moment, Wang Feng was truly worried about his own life. So he made an effort to continue playing dead, holding his breath until the end.

  An Yan walked past Wang Feng's position without looking sideways.

  Su San walked past Wang Feng's position, seemingly unaware. Before Wang Feng could even let out a sigh of relief, he felt two forces coming at him. One sealed his mute acupoint. The other hit one of his feet. Wang Feng lifted his head and looked at the foot that was hit, only to see it had become misshapen. It's... crippled!

  Wang Feng had just witnessed Su San's ruthless tactics against Tang Chu Xue, and now he was silently enduring the inhuman pain with his eyes closed and teeth clenched.

  Tang Chunxue lay on the ground, her eyes red with tears, thinking that in her lifetime she would definitely make Tang Jinyu's body into a thousand pieces and only then could she get rid of the hatred in her heart.

  Su San suddenly stopped in his tracks, standing straight up at the entrance of the alley.

  Whether it was Tang Chu Xue or Wang Feng, they both trembled with fear at this moment. What else did this man want to do?

  "I am Su Bai from Nangong, if you want revenge, come find me."

  Apathy, overbearing, looking down on the world. Su San finished this sentence and turned around to leave the alley cleanly and neatly, as if also leaving behind these gloomy and dirty things.

  Su Bai, Su Bai of Nanjun, she would never let Tang Chu Xue off so easily. She will go back and thoroughly investigate to see what kind of person Su Bai is, daring not to take her seriously.

  But Wang Feng's eyes moved slightly, this name was somewhat familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember. It seemed that he still had to investigate carefully, Wang Feng only felt that Nanjun Su Bai was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

  Su San walked out of the alley, but saw An Yan standing quietly at the entrance of the alley with his head down, his slender back lightly leaning against the wall, looking pitiful.

  Su San saw An Yan like this and immediately walked over, stretched out her hand to rub her hair, and softly said: "What's wrong?"

  "Am I in trouble today?"

  Always calm and wise, self-reliant An Yan now seemed like a child in front of Su San, and even more so, like a child who had done something wrong. She felt that she had really been too careless today, almost getting herself killed, and also nearly dragging Su San down with her. Therefore, she stood here now, looking as if she wanted to apologize.

  Su San heard An Yan's words and couldn't help but laugh: "I just like you making trouble."

  Upon hearing these words filled with strong pampering, An slowly lifted her head, her eyes full of confusion. At this moment, she shed off her usual gentle exterior, revealing a pure and sincere heart within. She slightly tilted her head and said softly: "That can't be true, or else I'd become a jinx."

  Su San's eyes laughed even more intensely, feeling like a child at this moment, so lovable and wanting to be deeply cherished.

  An softly struggled free from Su San's embrace and turned around herself.

  Su San was taken aback, this is self-inflicted anger, and also punishing himself by not being able to see her?

  Little woman...

  "I punish myself, punishing me for not being able to see you."

  Su San: "......" Is this really punishing herself? How does he feel that this is obviously punishing him instead...

  Su San looked at An Yan's back, smiled helplessly, and then suddenly hugged her from behind.

  The sudden hug made An Wen exclaim, she hurriedly struggled free, "Let go quickly, what if someone sees us?"

  "We are husband and wife, and we have done nothing wrong."

  "Ah, words: '!' "

  Under An Yan's ineffective protest, Su San directly carried An Yan back.

  Back at the inn, under the shining gaze of her fellow travelers, Su San's face remained unchanged, her eyes not shifting as she carried Su San back to their room. An Yan's face had already turned red like a big tomato. She buried her head in Su San's chest, not daring to lift it up, afraid of seeing other people's gazes.

  Su San's face was truly thick-skinned at this point, and he could even walk down the street with his wife in his arms without any qualms.

  Back in the room, Su San put An Yan on the bed and An Yan rolled into it instantly, shrinking into the bed in an instant.

  Su San saw An Yan's appearance and helplessly said: "Girl, you're having your period, don't move around so vigorously..."

  An said: "!" She was worried about her menstrual period and also worried that Su San would come uninvited, so she took precautions early on and hid inside before speaking. She didn't expect Su San to say something like this to her...

  She suddenly felt very wronged and depressed, and could only glare at Su San fiercely. It seemed that for the time being, she had not found a way to punish Su San. An Yan was secretly thinking of various ways to punish and discipline Su San in her heart, and as she walked further and further on the path of being a good wife, she finally achieved her goal...

  Su San saw An Yan's angry look and quickly took off his clothes, jumped onto the bed, and began to coax An Yan gently.

  "Girl, are you angry?"

  "Hmm, I'm angry."

  "Don't be angry, okay?"

  "Not good."

  "What can be done to make her not angry?"

  "Whatever makes you angry."

  “……”

  Some things can't be solved by talking, it's time for action...

  "Girl, are you angry?"

  "Of course... um..."

  The words that followed were completely drowned out by the two people's lips, and as their breathing became more and more entwined, An Yan had already forgotten that he was angry this time...

  This side is entwined and lingering, while Tang Chu Xue's side is like an eternal night that will never dawn.

  After Su San left, the black-clothed men who were protecting Tang Chu Xue dared to get up. They took advantage of the night and carried Tang Chu Xue and Lao Li back to the Tang Manor.

  As for Wang Feng, he went home alone, limping and staggering.

  At this moment, Tang Chu Xue's appearance was not suitable for visiting the Ruan Mansion. If Zhao Shi and Ruan Ai He saw her like this, they would definitely take extreme measures. By then, she and Ruan Yu Qing would have no hope at all, and she would also lose any chance of turning things around.

  She was carried into Cui's room. At that time, Cui was sleeping and suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing over. She opened her eyes to see the door open, with several men in black carrying a stretcher, on which lay a woman with a blurry face. The woman's face was covered in blood, with wounds all over, a pitiful sight. In the middle of the night, she was suddenly awakened to see such a scene, and Cui was frightened into screaming.

  "Ah...... Ah......"

  "Shut up, it's me."

  Tang Chu Xue was already in a gloomy mood, and now hearing Cui Shi's ear-piercing scream made her even more annoyed, so she hastily shouted to stop her.

  Cui was shocked by Tang Chuxue's momentum and immediately stopped making a sound. She listened carefully, this is the voice of her own daughter Tang Chuxue. Knowing it was her own daughter, Cui's fear in her heart dissipated. She rubbed her hair with some annoyance, thinking to herself, this Xue'er is really something, running into her room in the middle of the night to scare her, what's going on?

  It was just a moment, but Cui's body stiffened, and her eyes slowly widened. The woman on the stretcher was Xue Er, so what about Xue Er's face?

  Cui's eyes snapped open as if he had just woken up from a dream, and he suddenly sat up, rushing to the stretcher barefoot. When he saw Tang Chunxue's face on the stretcher clearly, Cui was so frightened that his butt landed on the ground with a thud.

  She trembled with fear and shouted: "Xue Er?"

  It's as if she can't believe that the woman with a bloodied and bruised face is not her own daughter. How could it be her own daughter? Her own daughter has an ethereal beauty, how could it be this woman who even she, as her mother, cannot bear to look at?

  "It was me, my face was ruined by Tang Jinxiu."

  "What?"

  Choi couldn't believe it, Tang Jinxiu was just a spoiled and useless rich girl in her eyes. Her own daughter was born beautiful and intelligent. That Tang Jinxiu wasn't even comparable to one of her daughter's fingers. But Snow said that stupid pig-like Tang Jinxiu actually ruined her face. How could this be possible? Wasn't this some kind of joke?

  "What's more, Tang Jinxiu has also crippled one of my hands."

  Cui's face turned pale as she trembled and stretched out her hand to examine Tang Chu Xue's face and hands. After confirming the severity of those injuries, Cui was suddenly frightened and sat down on the ground with a thud. Her Snow had been ruined, her greatest reliance had been destroyed just like that. Then how would she live in the future? She had thought that relying on Snow's abilities, one day she might be able to get close to that person. Even if it was only as a concubine, it would still be an infinitely glorious thing. In these few years, because Snow was by her side, she didn't need to think at all and there would be endless wealth and glory delivered right into her hands. Then now that Snow was gone, what would happen to her? At this moment, Cui felt unprecedented fear, her face turned pale, and she wasn't thinking about how Tang Chu Xue's future would be. But rather, without Tang Chu Xue, how would she live?

  At a very young age, Tang Chu Xue already knew that Cui Shi was a selfish and self-interested woman with thin maternal love. Therefore, at this moment, she didn't have much expectation either. Looking at Cui Shi's appearance of being heartbroken and desperate for having lost her reliance, she suddenly felt somewhat impatient. "I'm asking you, do you know Nan Jun Su Bai?"

  Cui was pulled back from his thoughts by Tang Chu Xue's question and furrowed his brow slightly when he heard the words "Nan Guo Su Bai".

  "It sounds familiar, seems like it's quite famous or something. But for a moment, I just can't seem to recall."

  Tang Chuxue heard Cui Shi say this, and thought to herself that relying on Cui Shi was also a futile effort, so it would be better to send someone to investigate instead. Just as she was about to call for someone to carry her away, she heard Cui Shi suddenly slap his forehead, with an expression of sudden realization, "I remember now, I said it sounded familiar, and it turns out it was him."

  "Who is he?"

  At this moment, Tang Chuxue's eyes lit up, and the only intact hand under her sleeve unconsciously clenched into a fist. She could only hope that Su Bai of Nangong was just a slightly famous figure in Nangong.

  "What's wrong, have you hooked up with him?"

  Cui's gaze at Tang Chu Xue suddenly became profound, and he said slowly: "If you really get hooked up with him, then your future life will be truly worry-free. Tsk tsk, Su Bai's identity and status in Nangong are almost unmatched by anyone."

  No one can surpass! Tang Chu Xue took a deep breath and said hastily: "Who is he? Tell me clearly."

  Cui was puzzled, why was this daughter so agitated, with a fearful look. Although he didn't understand, Cui still explained honestly: "Nanjiang Su Bai is the third son of the Nanjiang Su family, you should know about the Nanjiang Su family."

  "It's actually the Su family of Nangun, that Su family has a deep foundation. Although the Silver family has developed very well in recent years, they don't dare to say they can rival the Su family. It's actually the Su family, how could it be the Su family!"

  At the beginning of Tang, Xue felt her body go soft, and in an instant, it seemed as if she had lost all her strength, leaving no room for struggle.

  It seems that Cui was still not satisfied, and continued to say: "If it were just like this, how could one dare say that there is no one in the southern province who can surpass him? This can only be said that Su Bai is extremely wealthy. Moreover, Su Bai has been a soldier since he was young, and at the age of 18, he was already appointed as a great general. He fought on the battlefield for ten years, defending the borders of the Great Qin Dynasty. It's said that even recently, there were rumors that Su Bai would be appointed as an extraordinary king. However, later on, it's unknown who Su Bai offended, and he was suddenly stripped of his position. Therefore, Su Bai's prestige today is not as great as before. But the name of the third young master of the Su family is still there."

  After hearing Cui's words, Tang Chu Xue's heart felt a chill. She thought to herself, with Su Bai being so formidable, did she still need to seek revenge?
