Chapter 168 He regrets, he hates
"With those people suddenly appearing, Zhao Qingwan should be suspicious." Su Sui'an was curious about how those people gained Zhao Qingwan's trust.
Or, although Zhao Qingwan had doubts about those people of unknown origin, their abilities were beyond her imagination and they were useful to her, so Zhao Qingwan was willing to take the risk?
A hint of amusement flashed across Fu Jingrong's eyes. "Zhao Qingwan is not Su Qishun's biological daughter, but the daughter of the bandit leader who was arrested. After Su Qishun knew that Zhao Qingwan was not his biological daughter, he directly let Zhao Qingwan be Su Jincheng's concubine. Do you think Zhao Qingwan is the kind of person who accepts her fate?"
"No," Su Sui'an shook his head, "So, Zhao Qingwan wanted to use those people. In her opinion, the benefits those people brought her were enough for her to bear the consequences after those people were discovered."
Her tone was determined.
But there was one thing she couldn't figure out, "Are those people's magical powers really so great that Su Sui'an could ignore their identity as remnants of the previous dynasty?"
As we all know, what Emperor Ming Qing hates most are those remnants who are always ready to rebel against him and restore the previous dynasty. That is why he has sent his confidants to infiltrate all kinds of places to cooperate with King Dingbei...
In recent years, the court has been more aggressive in arresting the remnants of the previous dynasty than those who have collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country...
"Is it possible that Zhao Qingwan thought that they were people left behind by her bandit father, and didn't think about the remnants of the Former Dynasty?"
Fu Jingrong's words suddenly pulled Su Sui'an out of his dilemma.
Su Sui'an had been thinking about something that he hadn't thought of for a long time, and suddenly it dawned on him, "Yeah, why didn't I think of this?"
It's all because of preconceived ideas.
She said, when did Zhao Qingwan become so "brave and fearless", it turned out that she had no idea...
Harboring the remnants is enough to wipe out Su Qishun's entire clan.
Even if Su Qishun had a relationship with Prince Yun, I'm afraid it would just be a few more people to die when the clan is exterminated...
After thinking through the relationship, Su Sui'an suddenly felt that it might not be impossible to cut the meat with a blunt knife.
"If you want to kill Su Qishun's lineage faster, you can try to investigate the past relationship between Madam Gu and Prince Yun."
Fu Jingrong didn't know what Su Sui'an was thinking.
I just felt that her aura gradually changed from the initial entanglement to the initial indifference.
Knowing that she had other ideas, he reminded her again.
Su Sui'an nodded, "I know. In this case, Gu Xiuyan is a good target for investigation."
This is also the reason why, even though she was annoyed to death with Gu Xiuyan these days, she couldn't take any more extreme revenge on him.
Just like if you want to push open a dilapidated door to peek into the secrets of a house, you have to add enough tung oil to the door in order not to alert the enemy.
If there is enough tung oil, it won't take too much effort to open the door, and it won't alarm the people inside...
With the help of Fu Jingrong.
Su Sui'an successfully avoided the imperial guards surrounding the Su Mansion and returned to the Su Mansion.
When she approached the rockery, a man suddenly jumped out from behind her, covered her mouth and nose and tried to drag her inside.
She struggled instinctively.
"Don't move, it's me."
The struggle paused.
What follows is a fatal move.
Gu Xiuyan was not paying attention for a moment and was kicked by Su Sui'an.
He loosened his hands in pain and half bent down.
Su Sui'an took the opportunity to keep three steps away from him.
The two faced off in the cramped space of the rockery.
"What are you here for?"
Faced with her aggressive questioning.
Gu Xiuyan's face was still pale, but when he looked at her, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Unlike his previous high spirits, when Su Sui'an saw him today, he could still see a bit of dejection in him.
He was always a neat and clean-cut man, but when he appeared in front of her today, he still had an untidy beard and even his clothes were wrinkled.
Can...
What does that have to do with her?
"An'er..."
"Stop."
Su Sui'an raised his hand to stop her from continuing speaking, but the disgust between his brows could not be concealed no matter what.
"If you have nothing to do, Master Gu, you can just go and have fun with someone else. Why come to me every day? What's the point?"
Gu Xiuyan's behavior and attitude when he came back from the previous life had completely shattered all the filters Su Sui'an had for him.
If he wasn't still useful, Su Sui'an wouldn't have been so merciful when he kicked him.
"An'er," under Su Sui'an's cold gaze, Gu Xiuyan slowly retracted the step he wanted to take to her side and looked at her eagerly, "Are you... okay?"
Su Sui'an looked at him coldly with his clear eyes, as if smiling.
Gu Xiuyan said a little helplessly, "Yesterday, I was just in a hurry..."
"About the jade pendant, I really didn't know that little girl was you..."
"The day before yesterday, I sincerely wanted to marry you. I didn't lie. You..."
"Gu Xiuyan."
Finally, after Gu Xiuyan said a lot of words, Su Sui'an spoke.
"I've said it before, your so-called sincerity is entirely due to that jade pendant. If you really liked me, you wouldn't have agreed so readily when I asked you to break off the engagement."
Gu Xiuyan choked and suddenly looked up at her. After meeting her sarcastic gaze, a layer of deep despair crept into his eyes.
"At that time I..." I thought you were just angry...
"Do you think that, given my infatuation with you over the years, even if you break off the engagement, you can still make me agree to marry you again?"
Her eyes were so penetrating that even Gu Xiuyan, who was accustomed to interrogating prisoners from a superior position, could not help but want to look away guiltily.
"Do you think that, given my personality, I will definitely marry you? That's why you are so confident in breaking off the engagement?"
Her voice was clearly very soft, but every word that fell into Gu Xiuyan's ears made him tremble.
It turns out that she knows everything.
He thought he understood her, but in the end he found that his so-called understanding and his certainty that she would change her mind turned out to be a joke.
Watching Gu Xiuyan's face, which he thought was affectionate, gradually collapse.
Su Sui'an smiled and said, "Master Gu, you are not deeply in love with me, you just can't forget the past."
She smiled with relief and indifference, and there was a hint of gloating in her eyes.
Gu Xiuyan woke up as if from a dream - she wanted to destroy all his fighting spirit from the bottom of his heart.
"No, I really do..."
I please you.
The words on the tip of my tongue just couldn't come out.
Because her eyes were so cold.
Those eyes had always been there for him, and when they looked at him, it was like they were watching a stranger's joke.
It shouldn't be like this.
Gu Xiuyan's heart ached and his eyes began to turn red.
There was a rolling sensation in his throat, but not a single word came out.
Perhaps he was tired of laughing, Su Sui'an folded his arms across his chest and leaned lazily against the rock wall behind him.
"I've clearly said before that I won't drink a cup of tea from you, and I won't drink half a glass of wine from you. Why do you think that I will come back to you if you just wave in front of me a few times? Gu Xiuyan, am I a cheap person in your eyes?"
Her words successfully brought Gu Xiuyan back to the day when he was forced to give up his marriage to Zhao Qingwan.
If she hadn't been prepared for him, she would have lost half her life that day...
He felt depressed and had a sweet taste in his throat - forcing her to give up the marriage was the thing he regretted most in his life.
"Gu Xiuyan, do you know that the last bit of attachment I had to you was wiped out by you yourself?"
"...Stop talking..." Gu Xiuyan covered his head in pain, slowly squatted down, and even his voice began to choke, "Please stop talking..."
He had once had a chance.
But...
This opportunity was ruined by him...
Just for that fake...
Headache, heartache, pain all over the body.
He regretted and hated Su Qishun for being so despicable and shameless as to plot against him like this.
Fortunately, she has only been granted marriage and has not yet married. If he can get her forgiveness, does it mean that the two of them can resume their relationship?
When the idea came out, hope rekindled in Gu Xiuyan's eyes.
However, when he raised his head and looked forward again——
There was no one in front of me.
Gu Xiuyan:!!!
