"That's what I want to know, too." Xiao Qing Ran felt a headache coming on as she rubbed her temples. She kept having the feeling that a trip to the Prime Minister's Estate might have solved a major problem, but it had made her even more confused. She frowned as she thought of another matter: "Where's Little Li?"

"The child is still sleeping. I've already shown him the books and he'll probably be sleeping until tomorrow after drinking a lot. There's no other problems as well and the wind has already sent people to arrange his room for him." Liu Suifeng paused for a moment. He stroked his chin and smiled as he watched, "Although I really want to ask you everything about that child, you better go see someone else."

Xiao Qing was startled, "What?"

"Su Qianhan has arrived, and... He already knows about your visit to the Prime Minister's Estate. "

Xiao Qinggran: "…"

As she walked towards that person's bedroom, she scolded Liu Suifeng for being unreliable. When she left, she had clearly instructed him not to let that person know. He really didn't think much of the commotion.

Before he could push open the door and enter, he could smell the gloomy aura of a certain someone coming from inside. The helplessness in Xiao Qing's eyes became even more intense like this.

How could that be? Normally, the man would look cold, but at this moment, he was like a child. He was so awkward that it didn't matter if he used a heavier method to coax him.

"You're awake?" This was the first part of Xiao Qing Ran's speech. She planned to use a more gentle mindset to deal with the matter of her going to the Prime Minister's Estate alone once again.

Su Qian Han sat on the bed and waited for her to come back. When he came back, the worry in his eyes finally disappeared. He then angrily asked, "You still know how to come back?"

When she heard his angry words, Xiao Qing Ran felt a little childish. She closed the door and went into the inner room, shrugging her shoulders as she replied, "My Duke Han, I only left for a short while. Didn't I tacitly agree to stay by your side to sell myself to you? You can't even go anywhere? "

Su Qianhan's expression turned ugly, "Is this the reason why you went to the Prime Minister's Estate without telling me?"

When he first woke up, he heard what Suifeng said. He originally wanted to personally go to the Prime Minister Manor to pick her up, but he was afraid that if he did this he would make her feel that he didn't believe her, so he could only anxiously wait for her return. What was the meaning of this woman's current attitude? Ungrateful?

Xiao Qingran naturally knew that he was worried about her, but it was the first time that she had used such a method with this man. She wasn't used to it at the moment.

She closed her eyes and sighed to herself.

It seemed like she would have to slowly learn to get used to it in the future. Since she had already agreed to accept him, she couldn't avoid him like she did before. It was time to face her heart.

"Thank you for worrying about me."

These six short words were filled with sincerity, causing Su Qianhan's body to freeze. The anger in his eyes suddenly stopped, and he blinked his eyes in a daze, "Tell me …" "What?"

She pursed her lips and said softly: "I said thank you. I know you did a lot for me, but you have to believe me. I have the ability to stand by your side, so don't forget what you should have because you're worried about me."

He wanted to be someone high above her, and he was also the most suitable person to sit in the last position. She would help him, and that was the meaning of her rebirth.

Su Qianhan's eyes trembled. He understood her just like she understood him. This woman could always inadvertently stir up the deepest part of his heart.

He had never thought that there would be a day when he would have someone by his side that would let him feel safe and worried at the same time. Such a strange yet gentle feeling made him happy.

"Then you still have to agree to This King." Su Qian Han stretched out his hand to touch her face and stared into her clear eyes. "No matter what you do in the future, you must always prioritize your safety. Do not hide anything dangerous from me."

Xiao Qingyi felt the warmth coming from his palm. The cold light in her eyes unconsciously turned soft. She lightly nodded and curled her lips: "Okay ~"

This wasn't the first time they had slept in the same bed, but the feeling was completely different this time. There was an indescribable warmth to it.

They slept together without a dream, and the greetings they exchanged the next morning made them feel both unfamiliar and warm, as if they had done many things before.

Xiao Qingran told Su Qianhan about the situation they had met at the Prime Minister's Estate the other day. The man didn't say anything and only thoughtfully told her that it was best not to meet Feng Jing alone, just in case.

The so-called 'what if' was something that that person had intentionally hidden from him. However, it was as Xiao Qing Ran had said; he would not say it, but he would investigate it himself.

"Miss's feelings aren't wrong. That person from the Feng Residence did have a relationship with Madam back then." When Li Er handed over the newly acquired information to Xiao Qing Ran, she was also extremely surprised.

Xiao Qingxi flipped through the information as her gaze paused at a small line of words: "Feng Jing was the general who led soldiers to war at that time. I heard that she was also a famous person at that time, even better than Su Qianhan. Why did the military officer suddenly change to a civil servant?"

"This is indeed very strange, Mother Hua found out that this lord had a few records of enemies invading the country after he had transferred to a civilian. However, he did not lead his troops to defend the country, but he did not stay in the imperial court for long. He left the capital within a year to travel around."

Rio'er pointed to one end of the information sheet. "As for the reason, we have yet to find out. However, there's something strange. The year that Prime Minister Feng left the capital was the year that Madame passed away."

"Twenty years ago. Another twenty years ago." Xiao Qing Qing narrowed her eyes as she laid on the hammock.

What had happened twenty years ago that could implicate the two famous manors in the capital? Not just the two mansions, there seemed to be something hidden in the Zhao manor as well as the general's mansion and the former prime minister's mansion, but the Zhao manor was under the orders of the palace, so there had to be something that connected these two manors together. Perhaps it was his mother, or something even more profound …

A ray of light flashed past Xiao Qingran's eyes. The jade pendant in her hand had started to heat up. She said in a cold voice: "Li Er, go investigate the Su residence right now and personally go there."

"Su residence?" Riko was astonished. "Didn't the Su palace burn down twenty years ago? Miss, what are you thinking about? "

"It's exactly because there's nothing, that's why I'm letting you take a look. I keep having the feeling that there's something on the surface that's attracting us." Xiao Qingran's gaze darkened: "We might be able to find that side."

"Alright, then Li Er will go now."

"..." "Right."

At the same time, in the study …

"Master, we've pretty much found everything. Aside from the ones that I wanted, there's also some information about that young miss of the Phoenix Mansion …" "Are you going to tell this to Third Miss?"

Su Qianhan casually glanced at the items and said, "There's no need for now. It's not too late to tell her all of this after that matter is resolved. Saying it now would only add to her worries."

He flipped through the information page by page, finally leaving behind a line of small words. After which, he frowned and revealed an expression that was exactly the same as Xiao Qing Qing's. He said in a deep voice, "You should go to the Su Residence now. There might be something there."

"..." "Yes."

Riko first went to the Su residence. Because Prime Minister Su was loved and respected by the people when he was in office, even after the Su residence was destroyed and the entire residence turned into ruins, no one had dared to touch this abandoned house for so many years.

Although the place had been completely burned down, one could still make out the original appearance of the Su residence.

Riko carefully walked along the small path through the weeds. Suddenly, she felt someone behind her. Subconsciously, she turned her body to the side and threw a counter punch at him, but it was firmly held by the man.

Riko was alarmed and said in surprise, "Sudden wind? Why is it you? "

Whirlwind furrowed his brows, "I should be asking you about that."

"My lady sent me to investigate the Su Clan. Don't tell me you …" Li Er paused and was about to say something when the wind pulled on her wrist and hid in the grass.

Not far away, a green figure flashed by.

The two men looked at each other, then moved out of the dark. They jumped out at the same time without that person noticing. They attacked from the front and back, but when they saw that person's face, they were both shocked, "It's you?!"

"So?" Xiao Qing Luan sat on her seat and pinched her temple with one finger: "The sudden wind is because I received an order, so I went to investigate the matter regarding mother. What about you? Why are you here? "

Below him, Liu Suifeng was holding a cup of tea in one hand and a peeled egg in the other. He rubbed his bruised right eye socket and said, "Of course I'm asking, there must be some serious things to do there. Could it be that I'm going to revisit this place?!"

Xiao Qingyi knitted her brows: "What kind of business could you possibly have?"

Did he just say 'revisit'?

"I'm afraid that he will have to ask about the reason for his return to the capital." Su Qian Han said in a low voice, but his gaze was slightly gloomy: "This must be what you were trying to find out about the Su Palace being destroyed right? "Young Master Su Feng."

The man's words caused Xiao Qing Qing's body to stiffen as her expression changed, "What did you say? "This man, he …"

"Heh, you really are worthy of being called the Duke of Han. It seems like you have quite a bit of information. Of course, you can't compare to me in that aspect." Liu Suifeng smiled as he placed the egg in his hand onto a plate. One of his eyes was green, but when paired with his sloppy appearance, it made people feel funny, but the words that came out of his mouth didn't have the slightest hint of a smile, "That's right, my name is Su Feng. I was the only one who managed to escape from death in the Su Residence that year."
