"Fourth Miss, are you alright?" Song Lai lit the oil lamp first, then walked towards Su Li.

Su Li nodded his head, his gaze looking at the sword in Song Lai's hands, "So you know martial arts!"

Song Lai nervously held onto his sword, "Can Fourth Miss keep this a secret for me?"

"Everyone has their own secrets. Since you saved me, as long as there is no enmity between us, I will protect your secrets for you."

"Does the Fourth Miss have its own secrets?"

Su Li laughed, "I think that killer will not come again. Let's go back and rest, we still need to go to Chen Family Village tomorrow."

Song Lai looked at Su Li deeply, then took his sword and left the room.

On the other side.

After the assassin heard the night bird's cry, he flew out of the Yi Village realm.

Outside Yi Village, a man quietly stood in the darkness with a figure that emitted an instinctive reverence and submission.

"Master did not come back when he was ugly. Subordinate follows his orders."

"Well, how is she?"

"It's more difficult to deal with than what this subordinate had imagined. Song Lai whose Yi Village has yet to be obtained seems to not be an ordinary person ?"

"Investigate!"

The man's voice was low and without any emotion, but it gave people a creepy feeling of danger.

"Yes."

The man suddenly turned around. His gaze instantly fell on the assassin's right shoulder, where his clothes had been torn. The corner of his lips curled up into a cold smile. "It seems like she doesn't believe me."

In the morning of the second day, Su Li had only just woken up when his mind resounded with the long and pitiable mechanical voice.

"Lord Host, only five points of HP left."

"Shut up." Su Li rubbed her hair restlessly as she got off the bed to wash. When she saw the pinching mark on her neck, her heart and lungs almost exploded.

Who sent the killer last night? Was it someone from the General's Mansion? Or was it the crown prince?

As she walked out, she thought about what had happened last night.

"Fourth Miss is up? "Today, I cooked some porridge ?"

Before Song Lai could finish speaking, Su Li suddenly raised his head and stared at him, "Did anyone say the word 'ugly' when we were at the magistrate court yesterday?"

Song Lai was startled by Su Li's jumping question for an instant, "It was said by the Fifth Prince."

"What did he say?"

Song Lai cleared his throat, and bravely assumed the posture of Mo Lianjin, "It is rare for father to see this king, today, it is indeed a little unusual. I wonder if this duke will be able to rest at home when he is ugly?"

"Ugly time? Why do you have to be ugly? "

Song Lai did not hear what Su Li was saying at all, he just scooped a bowl of porridge for her, "Fourth Miss need not be afraid, if that assassin dares to come again, I will catch him myself and let Fourth Miss do whatever he wants."

Su Li drank a mouthful of congee, and his stomach immediately felt warm, very comfortable.

In modern times, she was a hard-working thirteen, and for work, there was often an uninterrupted meal, either running to the scene or soaking in the autopsy room.

Although the breakfast that Song Lai had prepared couldn't be considered to be a sumptuous meal, it still made her feel moved and grateful!

After the two finished their breakfast, they went straight to the magistrate court.

Wang Quanan gave her two officials and a carriage.

The officials went to the backyard to drive the horse carriage while Su Li and Song Lai waited outside the yamen.

"Fourth Miss, Crown Prince is coming over." Song Lai indicated for Su Li to look at the right.

Su Li took the chance to look over. It really was the crown prince, Mo Lianxuan.

Song Lai tightened his sleeves, did not make a sound, and unconsciously took a step forward, blocking in front of Su Li.

Su Li rudely grabbed his sleeve, and pulled him behind her. "Are you courting death? Mo Lianxuan is the crown prince, if you offend him, even I will not be able to protect you. "

"But ?"

"I can deal with it. If it really doesn't work, then save me when the fight starts."

Song Lai's eyes grew darker and darker. He stood still in his original position, so ordinary that he could not attract anyone's attention.

Mo Lianxuan walked closer and stopped a few meters away from him.

His face was dark and calm, and his eyes were full of undisguised disgust.

He narrowed his eyes at his guard, Mu Nian. He was so stingy that he did not want to give a word to Su Li.

"Fourth Miss, this is the marriage annulment document, I ask Fourth Miss to press your finger on it." Mu Nian stepped forward, took out a piece of paper, and continued with a mocking tone, "If Fourth Miss is tactful and agrees to cancel the engagement, Crown Prince is willing to protect Fourth Miss from being dipped in a pig's cage."

"And if I don't?" Su Li's red lips moved slightly as she retorted indifferently.

Mo Lianxuan had brought some people to force her to break the engagement, so the person who came to kill her last night shouldn't have been sent by him.

"If Fourth Miss is unwilling, the only outcome for Fourth Miss is death."

"The emperor hasn't even ordered me to die yet, who dares to let me die? Crown Prince? " Su Li grinded his teeth, raised his ugly face, and purposely revealed a smile that was the brightest and brightest, "So, Crown Prince wants to brazenly overtake this?"

Mo Lianxuan was startled, a layer of doubt obvious on his face.

This idiot woman, why did she suddenly ?
