Housekeeper Zhou was surprised for a moment, then he understood. "Not yet!" He paused for a moment and said, "Prince, Lady Xue Rou went. Do you want to — go take a look?"

Hearing that it had nothing to do with Su Nuo, Bei Chen Han turned around and said: "Throw it out for the dogs."

At that moment, Butler Zhou was stuck there, unable to react for a long time.

Beichen was getting impatient: "Get out of here!". Hearing this, Housekeeper Zhou quickly left.

This time, Housekeeper Zhou really didn't expect his Prince to be so heartless. He thought that no matter how he looked at it, this woman was special, but she actually ended up like this.

Steward Zhou also felt a chill in his heart when he thought about it, but those girls still had to struggle to climb onto his bed. It was really, really —

Outside the city, in the courtyard of a remote suburb.

Su Nuo was behind a screen, putting on a set of red dress. Halfway through tying the dress, she suddenly stopped all her movements.

She had just seen that person in peace and quiet and had actually forgotten about this matter. Su Nuo quickly lowered her head and looked at her body, only to see that there were no longer any traces of the ferocious whip marks on her body.

Su Nuo frowned, but she clearly remembered her master's whipping last night. Those sharp and thorny whips falling on her body, that kind of heart-wrenching feeling, she would never forget. However, there was not a single wound on her body right now.

Su Nuo did not believe that it was a dream. Indeed, when she looked carefully, she could see that there were faint scars on the seemingly uninjured skin. It was as if as long as she touched it a little more, those areas of healing would open up again.

That person!

Su Nuo immediately knew what was going on. She stuck her head out to ask Duke Bei Chen, but her head suddenly bumped into something.

Su Nuo opened his eyes and saw that it was Duke Bei Chen.

Su Nuo was reminded of the first time they met, when they met, it was that exceptionally exquisite little boy. But right after, Su Nuo's face darkened, "Third Marquis, what are you doing here?"

The Duke of Beichen's hand no longer covered his forehead. Instead, he leaned against the screen, and said with a flippant voice, "I was secretly peeping at Little Nuo to change her clothes."

Su Nuo nearly failed to catch her breath. She had never seen anyone speak in such a righteous and confident manner. She did not feel that she had done anything wrong.

The Duke of Beichen moved his face closer to Su Nuo, "Xiao Nuo, your skin is so white."

Su Nuo took a deep breath and asked, "Third Prince, what do I have that —"

"Oh, it's the medicine I applied to Little Nuo. I'm pretty good at touching ointments, isn't it because there aren't any scars at all?" The Duke of Beichen spoke with pride, and even raised his chin, as if he was waiting for Su Nuo's praise.

Su Nuo was momentarily stunned. She said woodenly, "Then, then I —"

The Duke of Beichen laughed, "I've already seen all of Little Nuo, and I've even touched all of her." Saying that, he licked the corner of his lips.

Su Nuo felt a surge of anger rushing up to her. She had never thought that there would be a day when someone other than her master would look at her body, and this was absolutely unacceptable to her. Her hands were tightly clenched, and her face was filled with anger, "Third Prince, you …" When Su Nuo raised her head, she saw the sickly white smile on Duke Bei Zhen's face, and the casual look on his face, but because of his heavy injuries, all his words disappeared from her throat.

Had it not been the same with the others, who always used this casual smile to confuse her, to hide all the good intentions, all the pain, never, never to let her know?

That's right, this was the case. This person had always used such a frivolous face to hide everything, not letting her know, not letting her feel like she was shouldering something, protecting her properly.

This person, how could she still be like this, burying her like this? If it wasn't for that woman telling her if she was going to live this life, and she didn't even know if she was going to misunderstand this person for the rest of her life, then …

"Little Nuo, aren't you angry?" The Duke of Beichen was somewhat astonished. He just stared at Su Nuo with his eyes wide open. No matter how he looked at him, he looked like a child that had yet to grow up.

Su Nuo smiled at the man and shook his head, "The Third Marquis is helping me apply the medicine, why should I be angry?"

At this moment, the expression on the Duke's face froze. It was as if he had never imagined that such a moment would occur.

Su Nuo was still smiling, gentle.

The Duke of Beichen suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched his face, then said, "Ah, it really hurts!" His gaze towards Su Nuo was filled with incomparable happiness.

Sue was still smiling, but she thought her eyes were sore.

[This man is really going to do this. He is going to make her feel sorry for him. She is truly not worth it!]

How could a female slave be worthy of a dignified Third Marquis doing such a thing? How was it worth it!

However, the smile on Su Nuo's face became even wider. It was as if she wanted to make up for the smile that she did not give in the past.

However, she also knew that there would be an end to this sort of life. And it wouldn't be for long. Perhaps very soon, she would be leaving.

She knew it, and she knew it. She, Su Nuo, was someone who had signed a life contract, someone who had a master, and she still deeply loved her master. No matter how much she felt ashamed of this person, she would never change this fact, and it would be the same. As long as her master still wanted her, and as long as her master did not abandon her, she would eventually return to her master.

Then, how short was this compensation!

Su Nuo suddenly spoke up, "Third Marquis, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

The Duke of Beichen's eyes immediately lit up as he said, "Little Nuo, your injuries have not fully healed yet. How could I bear to have Little Nuo do such a thing?"

Su Nuo shook her head. "It's alright. If you want me to sit down, then I'm not used to it. If the Third Marquis doesn't have anything special to eat, then I'll just make some."

The Duke of Beichen hesitated, as if this was a huge temptation to him.

Su Nuo knew that he was worried about his body. That's right, this was the person in the world that was so worried about her. Su Nuo laughed. Without waiting for Duke Bei Chen's reply, he turned around and said, "Then I will just do as I please. I hope that the Third Marquis will not mind."

The Duke of Beichen hurriedly waved his hand, "I like everything made by Little Nuo."

Su Nuo continued to smile, then turned around and left.

This person, this person, just what should she do? What should she do? It made her so heartbroken.

But what could she do? Her entire life was destined to be dedicated to her master, the master she loved deeply. This would never change, be it her or anyone else.

Like her love for her master, it could not be diminished, it would not pass away.

The only thing she could do now was to quietly stay by this person's side. She didn't say anything and just stayed there, until the day she returned to her master.

That was the only way.

The Duke of Beichen was about to follow Su Nuo, but Yan Qingcheng had already appeared in front of him. Thus, he didn't follow and instead asked, "How is it, Cheng?"

Yan Qingcheng glanced at Su Nuo's back as she walked away. Her eyes flashed, "Prince, you're right. That woman was the one who did it. Cheng'er has already killed her."

The Duke of Beichen nodded his head, but his gaze was still fixated on the direction of Su Nuo, as if wishing that he could go there immediately.

Yan Qingcheng clearly stated, "My prince, there are two silhouettes appearing from the palace. Cheng'er thinks that they should be Bei Chenghan's."

Lord Beichen smiled gently, with a hint of laziness in his smile, he said: "Ice Mountain face seems to be moving very quickly." He paused for a moment and then said, "Go find someone who looks like me and impersonate me." He looked in the direction of Su Nuo. The Duke's voice became gentle, "It was not easy for me to get together with Little Nuo, how could I let him waste my time like this?"

Yan Qingcheng lowered her head, the expression on her face blurry as she replied, "Cheng'er understands."

The Duke of Beichen nodded, "Cheng, thank you for your hard work."

Yan Qingcheng suddenly raised her head and hurriedly shook her head. "Cheng'er didn't have to work hard. Cheng'er was willing to do all of this."

Duke Bei Chen stretched out his hand and caressed Yan Qingcheng's face, "Cheng'er, as I've said before, as long as you want to leave, you can leave anytime you want."

Panic appeared on Yan Qingcheng's face. "Prince, Cheng'er won't leave. Cheng'er wants to stay by your side for the rest of her life to serve you."

The Duke of Beichen suddenly laughed, but his smile was also free and unrestrained, "With a beauty like Cheng'er accompanying me, I have no regrets in my life." As he spoke, he laughed in an incomparably frivolous manner.

Yan Qingcheng did not say a word. Lord Beichen laughed for a moment, then said a few words to Yan Qingcheng before leaving towards her.

Su Nuo didn't cook much, just a few side dishes. When she cooked, she realized that apart from her master's hobby, she really didn't know anything about this person's hobby.

Su Nuo's heart once again ached, but she could only bitterly smile.

"Little Nono." Duke Bei Chen suddenly appeared behind Su Nuo, giving Su Nuo a fright. That pained expression from before was completely gone. Duke Bei Chen took the dish from Su Nuo's hands, and said like a child, "The food made by Xiao Nuo smells so good." As he spoke, he was already beginning to steal food from his hands.

Su Nuo just smiled and let it go.

How could she not feel sorry for such a person, the dignified Third Marquis, when he was standing in front of her, a mere female slave?

Su Nuo turned around to fill the bowl with food, saying, "Third Marquis, sit down and eat." As he spoke, he pushed the rice in front of him.

The Duke of Beichen did not sit down, but leaned close to Su Nuo, raising his pretty face up and moving closer to Su Nuo, "Xiao Nuo, hello."

Su Nuo was stunned.
