Bai Suzhen is in danger

  Su San and An Yan returned to the inn, everything was back to normal. The two were about to return to their room to rest when they saw Da Wang rushing over, carefully glancing at An Yan with a hesitant expression.

  "Aunt, what's wrong?"

  She rarely saw her aunt like this, her heart skipped a beat, but her face was calm.

  "Just now your mother said she wanted to go out for a walk, but didn't let anyone follow her. She said she was going out to get some fresh air, but it's been two hours since she left and still hasn't returned. So I'm getting worried."

  An Yan's face turned pale, and the smile on her face could no longer be maintained. She stood there in a fluster, and after a while, she forced a smile and said to Wang Shi: "Mother may not have come to Qingcheng for a long time, so she misses this place and went out for a walk. It's okay, I'll go with Su San to look for her, Mother probably went to some old haunt."

  The Wang family's originally hanging heart, when seeing An Yan smiling face, slightly relaxed a bit, and was not so surprised.

  "Alright, you guys go and come back early."

  An nodded in response and pulled Su San's hand out of the inn. Standing at the entrance, An felt a sense of confusion and helplessness, she had no idea where Bai Shi would go. The only familiar place for her in Qing City was the Tang family. But would Mother go to the Tangs? She didn't know, nor could she guess.

  "Let's go take a look at the Tang Mansion."

  Although I don't know, currently this is the only certain way.

  Su San tightly grasped An Yan's hand and quietly transmitted her strength to her.

  She walked quickly to the front of the Tang Mansion, only to be met with tightly closed gates and two majestic stone lions. An Yan gently bit her lower lip, and a subtle emotion welled up in her elegant eyes. This place used to be home to this body, but now it was the Qingcheng Grand Manor that stood firmly shut against her. Although the memories in her mind didn't belong to her, they still deeply affected her. That loving father had always been tolerant of Tang Jinxiu's everything. Such tolerance softened Tang Jinxiu's first half of life. Even if it were just some monotonous images, An Yan was deeply moved by that omnipresent love.

  Tangshan, what has changed you? Such cruel treatment of Tang Jingxuan and Bai Shi, turning all the tolerance and favoritism into nothingness.

  At the moment when An Yan fell into contemplation, the gate of Tang Fu suddenly opened and a group of people walked out.

  Walking in the front, with head held high and big strides, was Tang Shan. Closely following behind him were the steward of the Tang Manor and several green-clad attendants.

  She raised her head and met Tangshan's gaze directly.

  Tang Shan's face was full of shock, and his eyes were flashing with excitement. He quickly walked a few steps forward and came to An Yan's front, his tone unstable, "Jin Xiu, how did you come here?"

  An Yan didn't know how Tang Jinxiu would react if she were standing here, but she knew that at this moment, she was extremely clear-headed, looking calmly at Tang Shan and answering his question in a flat tone, "I just happened to be passing by, so I came to take a look."

  Tangshan felt An Yan's extremely cold attitude, and a flash of astonishment flickered in his eyes, followed by an inexplicable pain. His gaze flashed, and then he said: "Dad knows you're not resigned to it in your heart, but the things you've done before are really disappointing for me as a father. So I had no choice but to drive you mother and daughter out. Now that things have passed for a long time, Xue Er has been tolerant and has always said she doesn't mind. If you mother and daughter truly repent, then come back."

  When he said this, Tangshan's emotions were just right, with a hint of movement, a hint of pity and unbearable.

  An Yan's eyes were extremely cold at this moment, with a deep emotion in her heart that she wanted to pour out. If it weren't for the strong pressure of reason, An Yan thought that she might not be able to control her body's instincts and slap him hard right now.

  "Are you really my father? Do you really have a sense of being a father?"

  The soft words seemed to come from afar, and this was asked for the original owner of the body, Tang Jinxiu.

  Tangshan remained unmoved, his warm and gentle eyes still warm and gentle, filled with a subtle disguise that made it impossible to discern his true emotions.

  An didn't want to see this person again, she just wanted to find her mother as soon as possible. She pulled Su San, turned around and left without any hesitation. Su San faintly looked back, only to see Tang Shan expressionless staring at him and An.

  They didn't move until their figures completely disappeared from view, then Tang Shan said faintly: "Let's go."

  Even though it was very calm, the suddenly hoarse tone still made the butler's eyes flicker. The butler thought for a moment, and when he looked up again, he saw Tang Shan stumble greatly, almost falling to the ground. The butler was quick-witted and quickly supported Tang Shan.

  "Old Master?"

  The butler asked with concern, Tangshan lightly shook his head and then walked ahead with his back straight. His figure was desolate and cold, the butler looked at the old master like this, and his eyes were a little red.

  Old man, what's the point of this?

  After An Yan and Su San left the Tang Mansion, they wandered aimlessly on the streets. After a while, the sky also darkened somewhat, and An Yan's heart became increasingly uneasy. As they passed by a wine tower, An Yan was about to walk past when he was pulled back by Su San.

  "Su San?"

  "There."

  An looked at Su San with a puzzled expression, but then heard Su San telling her to look towards the wine building. She looked over in confusion and saw Bai Shi's figure.

  At the entrance of the wine house, a beautifully dressed woman with a smile on her face was supporting Bai Shi. Next to her stood a young woman with a slender figure and a light, snowy complexion. Behind them were several maidservants, making quite an impressive entourage. At this moment, Bai Shi, who was being supported by the woman, had a pale face, dull eyes, and seemed to have lost all his usual radiance.

  The woman and the young lady, both familiar to An Yan, one was Cui Shi, originally Tang Shan's concubine, now the mistress of the Tang Mansion. The other was Tang Chu Xue, Tang Jin Xiu's younger sister, now the legitimate daughter of the Tang Mansion, the young madam of the Ruan family.

  An's eyes locked onto hers for a moment before she rushed over, arriving by Bai's side. She gently pried Cui's hand off Bai's and took hold of it herself.

  "Mom, are you okay?"

  Looking at Bai's pale face, An Yan was worried and held Bai's hand tightly.

  "Bai's mother is fine, she's just a bit tired. Let's go back."

  He nodded slightly, but suddenly turned his head and looked at Cui Shi and Tang Chu Xue with a sharp gaze.

  At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Mei's eyebrows and eyes were delicate and crystal clear like the first snow. At this moment, she received An Yan's gaze, but her eyes were quietly flowing with interest, and she even smiled lightly at An Yan. In an instant, the ice and snow melted away, and it was so beautiful that it made people yearn for it. An Yan's gaze shifted, and his expression became even colder.

  "Sister has arrived in Qing City, why didn't you go to the Tang Mansion to see me and Father? Little sister and Father are thinking of you very much."

  Tang Chu's soft voice like water came from behind, An Yan ignored him and slowly walked away with Bai Shi.

  At the entrance of the wine house, Cui Shi said discontentedly to Tang Chu Xue on one side: "Why are you being so polite to those two women? They have both been kicked out and are worthless."

  Cui's speech was accompanied by a gentle stroke of her hair, checking for any signs of disarray. As the current mistress of the Tang household and mother of the young Madame Ruan, she had become quite prominent in Qing City. Later, she would be attending a tea party hosted by a wealthy merchant's wife. If not for running into that Bai woman on the road, she wouldn't have been delayed so long.

  Upon hearing Cui's words, Tang Chu Xue's expression on her face moved slightly, but she said lightly: "Are you certain that the two of them were really driven out? Being driven out of the Tang Manor is not equivalent to being driven out of Tang Shan's heart."

  Cui's eyes widened in surprise, this daughter always spoke so sharply and clearly. Cui slightly raised her chin, as if that would give her words more momentum.

  "Otherwise, you also saw the situation that day. Master is so ruthless. I don't know how Bai Shi and Tang Jinxiu came to Qingcheng. Is it because they can't make a living in the countryside and now want to return to the Tang Mansion?"

  Tang Chu Xue was thinking a bit deeply, recently she has been busy with the Ruan Fu's affairs, so she hasn't paid attention to the Bai family. But unexpectedly, due to her negligence, they two actually came to Qing Cheng. And who is that man beside Tang Jin Xiu, looking very intimate, could it be that mysterious man Tang Jin Xiu married? She knew about what happened at the White family last time, and because of that incident, she couldn't see through Tang Jin Xiu even more.

  As for Su San's identity, and the recent events in Hsinchu County have been handled by Zhang Jun and Yu Lei, no one knows Su San's identity. So, Qing Cheng only knew that Hsinchu County was rectified by the master of the mansion, but no one knew that there was also a trace of Su San's hand in it. Su San is cold and introverted, dislikes showing off, so he let Yu Lei and Zhang Jun cover up his traces.

  "Father is really thinking of driving those two out of the house from time to time, don't you know that?"

  Choi was choked by Tang Chu Xue's words and suddenly pursed her lips, turned her head away, and stopped talking.

  After a while, Cui seemed to think of something and said with a smile: "What's there to be afraid of? That Bai won't live for many more days either... Hmm..."

  Cui's words were cut off as Tang Chu Xue suddenly covered his mouth, "You can eat recklessly, but you can't speak recklessly. Mother, otherwise I won't be able to protect you either."

  Choi's voice was suddenly silenced, intimidated by her daughter's fierce gaze. Her body trembled, as if recalling some terrible memory, and she didn't dare say another word.

  Tang Chu Xue narrowed her eyes, and her beautiful face was expressionless at this moment. She always felt that Tang Jin Xiu had become very different, and things had already reached the final stage, hoping that nothing would change.

  An Wen escorted Bai Shi back to the inn and sent her back to her room to rest, but didn't say a word.

  She calmly returned to her own room, but stood alone quietly by the window, speechless.

  Su San walked up to her and said softly: "Let's leave Qingcheng tomorrow and go to Nanguan."

  She listened quietly, turned her head gently and looked at Su San's face, sighed: "Mother still has a place for Tangshan in her heart. Although I don't know what the mother and daughter said to Mother today, it must be related to Tangshan, which made Mother sad. Seeing Mother's lifeless appearance, I feel so distressed."

  Su San hugged An Yan tightly and also sighed, "After all, Yue Mu and Tang Shan have been husband and wife for over a decade, it's inevitable that they have feelings for each other. It's really not easy to truly let go."

  She nodded silently, knowing it was her mother's heart knot, which couldn't be untied for the time being. She could only let time slowly fade it away, hoping that one day, her mother would be able to look past that emotion and slowly forget about the unfaithful man from Tangshan. An Yan quietly leaned into Su San's arms, feeling her chaotic heart slowly calm down. In the candlelight, the two people silently hugged each other, as if they had crushed time itself, only hoping to stay like this until the end of their days.

  The next day, An Yan and Su San got up early, packed their things, and were about to go out to tell everyone that they could set off after making preparations.

  An Yan arrived at the door of his mother and aunt's room, but before he could even knock, the door was already opened hastily from inside. Then, Wang Shi's panicked face appeared in front of An Yan.

  Aunt?

  An Yan's eyes flickered, her tone unstable.

  "Brocade embroidery, I don't know what happened either, your mother's condition seems to be very bad, you'd better come in and take a look."

  He listened to An's words and rushed in instantly, arriving at the bedside of the White family.

  At this time, Madame Bai lay quietly on the bed, her face gentle and pale with a faint flush, looking as if she had just fallen asleep. An Yan reached out to take Madame Bai's pulse, but his hands and feet suddenly turned icy cold. How could this be?

  "Your mother came back last night and said she was a bit tired, so she went to bed early. This morning I got up and called out to wake your mother up as well. But no matter how loudly I called her, there was no response. I was startled, felt your mother's forehead, and found that she had a fever, which is why I rushed out to find you to come take a look."

  Wang saw An Yan's face didn't look too good and quietly explained on one side.

  An Yan thought for a moment and roughly figured out some logic. Her mother's body was originally not good, and yesterday she suffered a great shock, so now it's even worse. An Yan withdrew her hand from taking Bai Shi's pulse, and couldn't help but clench her fist, tightening and loosening it repeatedly. There were tears in her eyes that wanted to fall, but she held them back. Her mother definitely wouldn't be in trouble, she hadn't let her mother have a good life yet, how could her mother be in trouble? Repeatedly comforting herself in her heart, An Yan still felt icy cold all over, with a sense of being in the middle of an icy landscape. Although the sunlight outside was warm, why did she feel chilled to the bone?

  All of this was caused by Mrs. Choi and her daughter; she absolutely won't let it go so easily.

  She closed her eyes and opened them again, and everything was clear. She turned to her aunt Wang and said, "Please take care of my mother for a moment, I'll go get some medicine for her."

  "Alright, I'm here, you can go and get the medicine."

  An nodded and got up, running towards the outside of the room, and indeed bumped into Su San's arms.

  "What's wrong, daughter?"

  "My mother's body is not well, I'm in a hurry to grab medicine."

  "I'll go with you."

  An Yan nodded, and the two of them didn't even have breakfast before hastily rushing out. This time's prescription, An Yan used several precious medicinal materials, which were not cheap. In total, they spent ten taels of silver, and when it was time to pay, An Yan embarrassingly discovered that he had forgotten to bring silver due to his haste. Fortunately, Su San had brought some, and paid the bill; otherwise, it would have been really embarrassing.

  Then, An Yan hastily returned to the inn, decocted the medicine and watched as Bai Shi drank it down. Afterwards, An Yan stood guard in front of Bai Shi's bed until afternoon when Bai Shi's fever broke, only then did An Yan go eat something.

  An spoke softly as she leaned against the bed, gently closing her eyes, with a deep fatigue on her face. She stretched out her hand and lightly pinched the space between her eyebrows, feeling slightly better.

  Su San walked closer and saw this scene, his face also showed a worried expression, "Wife, what about my mother's illness?"

  An Yan slowly opened his eyes and weakly said: "Mother's pulse is severely damaged inside, I am also very powerless. For the time being, I couldn't think of a good solution, so I can only use expensive medicine to sustain her for now. However, I know that Mother's body suddenly became like this because of the cruelty of Cui Shi and her daughter. That mother-daughter pair has such ruthless hearts. They have taken over what belongs to me and Mother, yet they still won't let us go, it's truly outrageous!"

  A fierce glint flashed in An Yan's eyes, his hand clenched into a fist, and his heart was filled with countless resentments, but for the time being, he had no way to vent them.

  "No matter what my wife does, I will support her."

  Su San sat down on the bed, reached out and took An Yan's hand, gently grasping it in his palm, with a serious expression.

  An Yan looked at him, suddenly throwing herself into Su San's arms, and said with a sob: "We were originally going to leave this bad place, but why did it become like this. Now that mother's body is in such a state, it's impossible for us to travel by boat or carriage to Nangong Prefecture. Su San, I'm really scared, scared that we'll never make it to Nangong Prefecture. What should I do now, Su San, you tell me what to do?"

  Listening to his little wife's stuttering words, Su San felt as if his heart was being slowly sliced with a knife, hurting terribly.

  "It won't be long, Mother-in-law's body will definitely get better. Since the weather is cold today, we'll stay here for a few more months, and when spring comes, during the warm and blooming season, we'll go to Nanguan then."

  An Yan suddenly burst into tears, "Mother's body, I really... really don't know... whether it can hold on until that time."

  Su San's hands tightened, and he hugged An Yan tightly, his words slow and gentle: "Don't worry, it's up to us. Starting tomorrow, we'll collect some precious medicinal herbs in Qingcheng, like ginseng and lingzhi. They will definitely help your mother get through this ordeal. I'll also write a letter back home and ask for their help in finding the medicinal herbs you need. The Su family still has some influence in Nangong, so we should be able to find them. If not, I'll send someone to deliver the letter to my master in Qindu, even if it's something as rare as Tian Shan snow lotus, there will be a way to get it."

  "Really?"

  If even the rare medicine Tian Shan Snow Lotus can be obtained, then perhaps Bai's body can truly be saved. In an instant, a glimmer of hope reignited in An Yan's heart, and he emerged from his despair, once again filled with vitality.

  "Really."

  Su San replied affirmatively, gently helping the young woman tidy up her slightly disheveled hair with a soft and gentle motion.

  At this moment, An Xuan didn't notice any of these things. She was just happily getting out of bed and rushing to the table to start writing down the medicinal herbs she might need.

  "Mother's body will slowly get better, relying on my medical skills, plus various rare medicines, it will definitely make Mother recover as before."

  An Yan instantly returned to her usual self, clever and elegant. Su San looked at An Yan like this and finally felt at ease. The desperate and helpless little woman from just now, he only felt heartache when looking at her.

  In the following days, An Yan devoted himself to taking care of Bai Shi at home. Three or four days later, Bai Shi had recovered a bit but still couldn't get out of bed and needed further recuperation. Once Bai Shi's condition stabilized, An Yan began thinking about how to deal with Cui Shi and her daughter.

  At the beginning of Tang Chuxue's entry into the Ruan family, she must have been busy finding her footing. In the original owner's memory, Ruan Yuqing's mother, now the mistress of the Ruan family, was not a lenient person. Although Tang Chuxue later married into the Ruan family as the legitimate daughter, she had been a concubine for over a decade, which was known to everyone in Qingcheng. The mistress of the Ruan family had always been proud and arrogant, so she would naturally have some reservations about this illegitimate daughter-in-law. Wasn't Tang Chuxue good at manipulating others? Then she would create some trouble for her and see if she could handle it.

  She remembered that Tang Chusheng was originally engaged to someone, and it was Tangshan who had arranged the engagement. However, later on, many things happened, and she didn't know what means Tang Chusheng used, but the other family surprisingly agreed to cancel the engagement with the Tang family. Now, Tang Chusheng is in the Ruan family, having to deal with her mother-in-law and get along with her younger sister-in-law, so the environment won't be easy for her. If Tang Chusheng were a gentle person, with Ruan Yujing in between, there generally wouldn't be any big waves. But that Tang Chusheng absolutely wouldn't be a docile one; she has always been ambitious, so she must be busy trying to take control in the Ruan family.

  In this way, she can pull out Tang Chuxue's fiancé and stir up trouble for Tang Chuxue.

  An Yan sorted out the information about Tang Chu Xue's fiancé in her mind and also figured out the development of that engagement.

  Tang Chusheng's fiancé, Wang Feng, was a small businessman with a modest family fortune. He was quite good-looking and had no major flaws except for being somewhat stubborn. Tang Shan put some thought into Tang Chusheng's marriage arrangement. However, Tang Chusheng looked down on Wang Feng due to his ordinary background and set her sights on Ruan Yuqing instead. After years of planning, she successfully became the legitimate daughter of the Tang family and married into the Ruan family with great fanfare, living a life of unparalleled smooth sailing.

  She thought for a moment, then wrote a letter with her left hand, put on a cloak and went out under the cover of night. She gave the letter to a beggar and threw him a silver coin, whereupon the beggar joyfully set off to deliver the letter.

  She returned to the inn with a satisfied heart, still thinking about the Cui family's affairs. As for Cui Shi, would she make a move now? She didn't have much brains, but she also didn't care about her reputation. Unless she snuck in and beat her up herself. But this idea was just a thought, not very practical at the moment. Anyway, Tang Chunxue's side wasn't peaceful either, so Cui Shi's side wouldn't be easy to deal with. For now, she should think about other things. Although her mother's body had recovered somewhat, she still couldn't overexert herself in the short term. Therefore, going to Nangong would likely be impossible for a year or two, and it was best not to bring it up again.

  So, it also means that this whole family will have to stay in Qingcheng for a long time. For such a long time, they can't just sit and eat away their savings. An Yan furrowed his brow in thought, during this period he must think of ways to do some small business or something, at least there should be some income. Otherwise, the whole family will eventually have to go hungry.

  What business is good to do? An Yan's first thought was to sell wine, but if she sold wine, it would be a bit troublesome. Her uncle was gone, and there was no one in the White family who truly understood wine, so running the business would inevitably have some shortcomings. If she did business, it would be better to find something more familiar, otherwise, when the time came, she might not be able to control it and end up losing everything. Understand? In an instant, an idea flashed through An Yan's mind. Perhaps she could open a medical clinic, where she could diagnose illnesses for people and sell medicine. This way, not only would she have income, but also, there was another advantage: by opening the clinic, she would naturally be dealing with medicinal materials, and the precious medicines needed to nourish the body in the White family would also be secured. The more An Yan thought about it, the better she felt about this idea.

  Su San entered the room and saw that Xiao Nu's eyes were shining brightly, as if she was planning something big. These days, on An Yan's face, what Su San saw most was a worried expression, now this hopeful and joyful expression was extremely rare.

  Su San walked over to the table and sat down beside An Yan, smiling and asking: "What's going on, you're so happy?"

  "I was thinking that since my mother's illness requires me to stay in Qingcheng for a long time, I need to do something or else there won't be any income. Therefore, I thought of opening a medical clinic, killing two birds with one stone."

  "Medical clinic?"

  Su Sanji was shocked. In the past, it was extremely rare for women to practice medicine. Now, a woman opening her own medical clinic was even more extraordinary. This matter would surely cause a huge stir in Qingcheng. If it were the old Su Sanji, he would never have allowed it. But now, Su Sanji was different. Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, he felt that he shouldn't stop her from doing anything she wanted. What did conventional norms have to do with him? He only needed to take care of his wife and make sure she was happy and content. If his wife liked opening a medical clinic, then he would support her and shield her from all troubles.

  "Yes, let's open a medical clinic. Su San, will you... agree?"

  An Yan hesitated for a moment, knowing that Su San was a very conservative person. She wondered if Su San would be unhappy about her opening a clinic outside and being so exposed?

  "As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. I'll support you and be by your side always. When you're working at the clinic, I'll be your bodyguard there too, how about it?"

  "Of course, it's great! Let a former general be the bodyguard of my medical clinic. My clinic is really flourishing now!"

  An's words made her smile instantly, and her face seemed to have been washed by moonlight, soft and gentle.

  Su San looked at him with a sudden movement, then quickly leaned over and gently kissed An Yan's cheek. An Yan's face instantly turned bright red, and he slightly scolded Su San, saying: "I'm in the middle of talking to you about something serious."

  "I'm also doing something very important."

  Su San was also very serious and solemn in expression, with a stern face.

  "What's so urgent?"

  "To flourish and spread one's roots for the Su family."

  "......"

  I knew it, Su San wouldn't say anything that would satisfy her. Now, An Yan's face turned even redder, and she slightly lowered her head, not daring to lift it up again.

  Su San took one look at An Yan and his heart skipped a beat, he hastily walked over to pick him up and with a serious expression, headed towards the bed.

  Deep night color, a room spring light, spring meaning overflowing boundless.

  This night was destined to be extraordinary. Anwen had made up his mind to open a medical clinic, and several other families were unable to sleep tonight.

  In the Wang family, Wang Feng held a letter in his hand, looking puzzled. Who wrote this letter and what was their intention? As a businessman, everything started with profit as the top priority. The person who wrote this letter clearly wanted him to make trouble with Tang Chu Xue, which could be either big or small, but he shouldn't end up losing out. Although the letter said it would help him and take the Wang family to the next level, making them stand out in Qing City wasn't difficult. If that was all there was to it, Wang Feng would have sneered at it with disdain. However, what was strange was that attached to the letter was a business strategy plan. The methods outlined inside were unheard of and unseen by him before. Although they seemed unusual, he saw huge profits in them. According to the letter, as long as he followed the methods taught, after completing each step, she would send another business method to help the Wang family rise step by step.

  Such temptation is really not ordinary. If there are indeed endless wonderful ideas, then it's not difficult for the Wang family to have a place in Qingcheng. He finally got an opportunity with great difficulty, and if he misses it, he may regret it for the rest of his life. Moreover, he doesn't like Tang Chuyue either. When they were engaged, she was already flirting with Ruan Yujing, probably hooking up behind his back. Does he think Wang Feng is easy to bully? Now someone wants to teach Tang Chuyue a lesson, and he doesn't mind lending a hand, especially with generous rewards. Wang Feng's eyebrows relaxed, and his eyes had a feeling of being pleased with himself. He can take revenge and develop the Wang family at the same time, which is simply a great opportunity that has fallen from the sky.

  In this way, the Wang family slowly began to bully Tang Chu Xue, and in the following days, they really made Tang Chu Xue suffer a lot.

  In the Tang family compound, although it was already late at night, there were still low voices coming from Cui's room.

  "Mom, pay attention to what's going on in Tangshan recently."

  Cui was sitting in front of the dresser removing her makeup when she heard Tang Chu Xue's words, but she wasn't very concerned. "Xue Er, you're just too sensitive and cautious. The old man is fine, there's no problem at all. You're just thinking too much, with your abilities, how could the old man escape our grasp?"

  Tang Chu Xue furrowed her brow, extremely dissatisfied with Cui Shi's temperament. If Cui Shi weren't her mother, she thought she really would have lost control and taken care of this foolish woman. Not having a brain was one thing, but being so arrogant was the key issue. It was truly not fearing an opponent like a god, yet worrying about teammates like pigs.

  After a while, Cui didn't hear her daughter's voice and suddenly turned back to see that her daughter was staring at her with a pair of cold eyes. Cui's hand, which was combing her hair, paused for a moment, feeling a bit tense, and hastily said: "Xue'er, don't worry, I've actually been paying attention to the old man's side."

  "By the way, why didn't Tangshan come to your room today?"

  As for this, Cui Shi didn't mind at all. "He has some accounts to settle today, so he will be staying up late in the study."

  "What a coincidence! We saw Bai Shi and Tang Jinxiu just as Tangshan was about to pull an all-nighter?"

  "There shouldn't be any connection between them, old man often stays up late."

  Cui didn't think there was anything wrong with that. Tangshan had always been desperate in business, and it was common for him to stay up all night, not just recently.

  "Alright, let's put that aside for now. I'm asking you, the thing I asked you to give to Tang Jinxiu back then, did you actually do it?"

  As soon as he mentioned this, Cui immediately felt a little guilty, "I don't know either, it was very chaotic at the time, and the old man just happened to arrive, so I don't know if I actually did or not."

  Tang Chu's eyebrows and eyes suddenly stood up, with a look of hatred for the unyielding steel, looking at Cui Shi's eyes cold as ice, how did she end up with such an idiot.

  "Xue Er, I don't know if Tang Jinxiu has made a move or not. But as for Bai Shi, it's certain that he will make one. And once Bai Shi's emotions are stirred three times, he won't be far from the Ghost Gate. Looking at Bai Shi's appearance today, it should be about time. It seems that Bai Shi's funeral is approaching soon. You've always been worried about Old Master, right? At that time, we can see if Old Master is sincere or not by observing his reaction to Bai Shi's funeral."

  Bang!

  Just as Cui finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the window. Tang Chuxue was startled and ran to the window in an instant, opening it with a bang, only to see a nightingale flying away with flapping wings.

  "You scared me to death."

  Choi hastily patted his chest, looking like he was still in a state of shock.

  "Go to sleep."

  Tang Chu Xue suddenly lost the interest to speak, she had been socializing in the Ruan Mansion for a while and was very tired, often getting headaches, it was really time to pay attention to resting.

  Choi didn't have any objections, and the mother-daughter pair became more familiar with each other before turning off the lights and going to sleep.

  Let's put this aside for now and talk about Tangshan pacing anxiously in his study, feeling very uneasy.

  "Old Master!"

  The door of the study was suddenly opened by someone, a black shadow entered, and the door was closed again.

  "What's wrong? Did you find out anything today?"

  Tangshan immediately rushed forward to ask, and the black shadow immediately reported: "From the conversation between the two, I heard that the madam had been given something and was not far from death. As for whether Miss had been given anything, Cui Shi was not very sure."

  "What?!"

  Tangshan's body swayed slightly, almost unable to stand. He had saved his daughter, but not his wife. He hadn't realized that by the time he discovered the conspiracy, his wife had already fallen victim.

  Tangshan thought and thought, but suddenly felt a surge of blood and qi, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

  "Old Master..."

  Just before falling into a coma in Tangshan, I only heard the anxious cries of people below.

  At the same time, in Nangun, at the Yin family's residence.

  At this time, the night was already deep, but the Silver House was still brightly lit, only because on this evening, the Seventh Miss of the Silver House had not yet gone to sleep.

  At this time, in Miss Qi's boudoir, a pale-faced nurse was reporting something.

  This person was none other than Qi Niangniang, who had been locked up in prison by Su San for over half a month. After Su San and the others left, Qi Niangniang used some means to get out of the prison. As soon as she got out of the prison, Qi Niangniang hurriedly rushed to Nanguo. She hadn't even had time to comb her hair or wash up when she rushed into Seventh Young Lady's room and began to cry and complain.

  "Seventh Miss, it's nothing for an old slave like me to suffer humiliation. However, on that occasion, I was representing Seventh Miss in Hsinchu County. And yet, Third Master Su knew my identity and still showed no mercy when dealing with Young Master Wu, even throwing me into prison. If they hadn't left afterwards and I hadn't used some means to escape, this time I fear I would never have seen Seventh Miss again."

  Madam Qi spoke with a heavy heart and tears streaming down her face, every word and sentence filled with loyalty to Seventh Miss.

  Miss Yin Qifeng, dressed in purple clothes, had a delicate and unparalleled face. At this moment, she was like a dreamy fantasy in the dim candlelight, as if she were Chang'e, the fairy of the moon palace. She held a hand玉 in her hand. When she heard what Qi said, she slightly raised her head, exposing her delicate jade-like face to the air. Her face showed a hint of effort, and the hand玉 in her hand was also clenched lightly. "Third Master Su, you have quite a temper! You don't even spare my face. Tomorrow, I'll go to the Su house to ask if we've offended them without realizing it."

  When she said this, Yin Zifu's expression turned a few shades colder.

  The old lady looked at the effect and continued to report: "On that day, when the incident occurred, Zhang Jia's son Zhang Jun and Yu Lei City Master also advised Su Jia San Ye a few words. However, a small woman standing next to Su Jia San Ye, who was said to be Su Jia San Ye's wife, did not agree. Because the little woman bit and didn't let go, so the matter developed to an uncontrollable extent."

  Yin Zi Fu heard this and slightly raised an eyebrow, saying lightly: "The third wife of the Su family? I didn't know that the third master of the Su family had married a daughter-in-law. Nor do I know which family's daughter she is, yet before even arriving in Nangong, she dares to oppose me."

  Yin Zi Fu said this with a smile that was not quite a smile on her face, but her eyes were icy cold.
