"Okay." Su Yan didn't even ask anything and nodded directly.
In this world, few women have the idea of renouncing an engagement. Once they do, they will face far more troubles than they do now.
Jiang You smiled and said: "You saw me on the outing that day. Mr. Han had no idea about me and even wanted to introduce me to others... Such an engagement should naturally be terminated. I originally wanted to go directly
Deal with Mr. Han and find fault with him, but he is your cousin after all, and I don’t want to tear him up so ugly. However, I still have conditions."
"You said." Su Yan asked.
"Mrs. Han has my mother's token in her hand. Even if the engagement is broken off, she may not return it to me. So, I hope you can help me get that token." What Jiang You wants is what her mother gave to Mrs. Han.
Keepsakes, the meanings symbolized by the keepsakes are extraordinary.
"Okay." Su Yan nodded and agreed.
In his opinion, Han Ruicai was indeed not worthy of such a good woman, and what Han Ruicai did was even more despising to him.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the back door of Huichun Hall. Su Yan got off the carriage first and then helped Jiang You out of the carriage.
His fingertips touched Jiang You's hand, feeling a bone-chilling coldness.
The medicine boy, Little Hydrangea, was watering the medicinal herbs. When he heard the knock on the back door, he ran over again. This time, when he saw it was the two of them, he was already very calm: "It's you! You guys today?"
Who are you here for?"
"Is Doctor Ye here?" Su Yan asked.
"On the ground, I'll call you." Little Hydrangea put down the things in her hands and went to the front hall to call Ye Cong'an.
Ye Cong'an came over quickly, and before anyone came, the voice came first: "Come here as soon as you come, why are you whistling like this?"
This was said to the little Hydrangea. The little Hydrangea didn't care so much. After asking Ye Cong'an to come to the backyard, he continued to play with his herbs.
Ye Congan saw the two people together again, his eyes paused, and he walked over with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Why are Mr. Su and Junior Sister free to come together today? Junior Sister, the clothes you are wearing are...
Is it Mr. Su’s?”
Ye Congan looked back and forth at the two people, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that there was something unusual about these two people.
Su Yan said: "She is soaked all over, let her change her clothes first!"
"Soaked?" Ye Cong'an looked Jiang You up and down. It was very strange. Jiang You couldn't have fallen into the water by himself, could he?
"Stop looking." Su Yan reminded him displeasedly.
Ye Congan calmed down and said hurriedly: "Master's room is over there. I will lead you there. There should be clothes in the cabinet. You can change by yourself."
"Okay." Jiang You wrapped her clothes tightly and followed Ye Cong'an to her mother's room in Huichun Hall.
After Ye Cong'an waited for her to enter, he closed the door from the outside. He turned back, came to Su Yan, and asked: "What happened? Why did the little junior sister fall into the water? Is she still wrapped in your clothes?"
"She saved my mother." Su Yan rarely explained.
"She...knows your identity?" Ye Cong'an asked again.
Su Yan glanced at Ye Congan and said nothing.
Although Jiang You didn't ask a word, the title changed from "Master Su" to "Prince Su" so naturally. It was obvious that Jiang You already knew his identity. But did she guess it or did she already know it?
It's hard to say.
"Do you like our little junior sister?" Ye Cong'an asked.
"Go and make ginger soup for her." Su Yan didn't want to answer Ye Cong'an's question, so he directly asked Ye Cong'an to make ginger soup for Jiang You.
like?
How could he be qualified to like someone like him?
Maybe it was because she in the dream made him feel so distressed. Now every time he sees her, he can't help but feel guilty. It's obviously just a dream, but it's... unforgettable.
Jiang You rummaged through several sets of clothes in the closet that her mother had worn before. She randomly picked one and put it on before walking out of the house.
When she went out, she carried Su Yan's robe out with her. The robe was stained with moisture from her body and felt wet to the touch.
Su Yan had been waiting for her in the yard. When he saw her coming out, Su Yan walked towards her.
Jiang You hugged his robe and said, "Your clothes are stained with moisture. Why don't you wait until I go back to wash them before bringing them to you?"
"No need." Su Yan stretched out his hand to take it, "This little moisture can't hurt me."
Jiang You was wearing a light blue dress at the moment, which matched her temperament very well.
When Jiang You saw Su Yan taking the robe directly, it was hard to stop her. Without seeing Ye Cong'an, she asked, "Where's Senior Brother Ye?"
"Here it is!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Congan's voice came.
He came with a bowl of ginger soup, walked up to Jiang You, and handed the ginger soup directly to Jiang You.
Jiang You was stunned for a moment: "Senior brother, what are you doing?"
"Ginger soup." Ye Congan said with a smile, "Little Junior Sister, Mr. Su specially ordered me to prepare ginger soup for you. He said that he would keep you away from the cold and prevent you from catching a cold!"
Jiang You took it, then turned to Su Yan and said with a smile: "Thank you, Prince Su."
Crown Prince?
Ye Cong'an heard Jiang You call him this. It seemed that Jiang You had already figured out who Su Yan was.
"Do you thank your senior brother for the medicine he gave you?" Ye Cong'an felt a little heartbroken.
Jiang You pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, thank you too, Senior Brother Ye."
"That's pretty much it." Ye Congan nodded with satisfaction, "Drink the ginger soup while it's hot, right now."
Ye Cong'an urged Jiang You to drink the ginger soup. Jiang You stood there and obeyed, handing the empty bowl to Ye Cong'an. Ye Cong'an accepted the empty bowl and left the backyard first.
Seeing Ye Congan leaving, Jiang You turned to Su Yan and said, "Shall we... go back to Guo Mansion?"
"If you don't want to go back, then we won't go back." Su Yan didn't care whether he went back to Guo Mansion or not.
Jiang You smiled and said: "It's better to go back. Your parents should still be in the Guo Mansion. I want to go back too, lest Madam can't find me and accuse me of being unruly."
"Yeah, okay." Su Yan nodded.
The two people went out through the back door, got on the carriage again, and returned to Guo Mansion.
The Guo Mansion is busy at the moment, and Mrs. Guo's birthday party has already begun. As for the things that happened before, it seems that they have no impact on the Guo Mansion.
Yi Kai was waiting on their way to the banquet venue. When they appeared, he showed up quickly.
"What?" Su Yan asked.
Yi Kai subconsciously looked at Jiang You next to Su Yan. There were outsiders here, so it was hard to say something.
Su Yan knew what Yi Kai meant, but still said: "But it doesn't matter."
Yi Kai nodded and said: "Chai He was already dead when we found him. He was poisoned and silenced."
"What's Guo Mansion's attitude?" Su Yan asked.
"Master Guo said that he wanted to give us an explanation, but Mrs. Guo said that big things have to wait until her birthday party is over before dealing with it, otherwise it will be unlucky." Yi Kai mentioned Mrs. Guo and was speechless.
"How is my mother?"
"The princess is fine." Speaking of this, Yi Kai said with certainty, "The doctor from the Guo Mansion went to see the princess. Although the princess choked on the water, luckily she was rescued in time. The prince and the princess had already returned to the palace.
The prince said that the negotiation with the Guo Mansion will be left to the crown prince. The princess said that it was Chai He who pushed her into the water. Seeing that she could no longer hold on, he started calling for help... It was obviously for the princess.
My life!"
“Where is Chai He’s body?”
"The body was carried in the utility yard. The place where we found the body was behind the rockery in the back garden." Yi Kai made everything clear to Su Yan.
"I'll go take a look." Su Yan said, turning to Jiang You, "You go to the banquet first!"
Jiang You shook her head. She followed Su Yan and said, "I'll go with you."
"Aren't you afraid?" In Su Yan's impression, most women are timid.
"What's there to be afraid of? Besides, aren't you here?" Jiang You said with a smile, "Maybe I can still help you!"
Su Yan did not reject Jiang You's kindness, he just nodded and said, "Let's go then!"
Under Yi Kai's guidance, they first went to the utility yard and saw Chai He's body parked in the center of the yard.
Chai He's body was covered tightly with a piece of white cloth from head to toe.
"Open it!" Su Yan said to Yi Kai.
Yi Kai nodded, took a few steps forward, knelt down, and lifted off the white cloth from Chai He's body.
Suddenly, an unpleasant smell floated out. Yi Kai took a breath and almost vomited.
"How could this happen?" Yi Kai's face turned pale when he saw the corpse.
How long have you been dead?
But the whole body of this corpse began to rot, and even the face could hardly be discerned from its original appearance...
