"Maybe." Su Jia'er pondered for a moment. "How are you going to take him away?" She instinctively trusted the man before her, but at the same time, she was worried that someone else might come to the village.

Qi Sumu laughed lowly. "Didn't you plan it all out?"

This man! He was so smart that she did not have a good impression of him! Su Jia'er pointed at the two generals beside Qi Susu and said, "Take off their clothes and ask them to stay here to protect the village. I don't know which power will come knocking again." She had purposely said those words bluntly but implicitly so that Qi Susu would know that she knew what was going on in the court, but she didn't want to get involved in those disputes.

Qi Su's eyes flashed as she looked at Su Jia'er. She was much stronger than he had expected. He didn't like cats with sharp claws. Sooner or later, those claws would have to be cleaned.

Qi Sumu waved his hand, and the two generals beside him quickly took off their armor.

Su Jia'er was at a loss for words. She could not figure out what was going on with this man called Qi Susu, but she knew from the fear the man showed her and the wordless obedience of the two generals that the man in front of her was a decisive killer.

The two generals followed Su Jia'er into the village with armor in their hands. Qi Sumu watched as Su Jia'er left while the third brother and the crown prince took action. He had to bring Su Jia'er back to the palace as soon as possible, so as to not create unnecessary trouble. When he returned, Third Brother's subordinate would definitely tell him about his visit to Su Jia'er.

Qi Sumu rubbed the thumb ring on his finger, then pulled away from the leader, moving closer to the woods. He turned his head and said softly, "Midnight, make Silver Fox attack the black-robed guards. Leave no one alive."

The inside of the forest responded, "Yes, your subordinate."

A black shadow flashed and disappeared into the forest.

Su Jia'er entered the village, and Su Xiaoyi walked up to welcome her. He looked at the two high-ranking officers behind her and asked, "Young master, why are they following us?"

Su Jia'er recounted the whole story roughly. Su Xiaoyi kept praising, "It's indeed young master. Once young master takes action, there's nothing that you can't handle."

Su Jia'er glanced at him, "Stop flattering me. Go back and pack up your things. Tell Xue Niang that we are going out."

"Alright." Su Xiaoyi almost jumped up in joy when he heard that he could solve another crime.

Looking at Su Xiaoyi's happy face, Su Jia'er's mouth slightly curled up. She was still as childish as before.

The village chief was anxiously pacing back and forth in the main hall. When he saw Su Jia'er return, he heaved a sigh of relief, but as soon as he saw the two men behind her, he became nervous again.

Sensing the nervousness of the village chief, Su Jia'er explained, "It's alright, they came to fetch that young master."

Only then did the Village Chief relax. He led the way in front and opened the vegetable cellar. When the handsome young master and the errand boy saw that it was Su Jia'er, the handsome young master wanted to thank her for saving his life.

The two generals standing behind Su Jia'er said in unison, "I will participate!"

The handsome young master was stunned for a moment. When he saw the faces of the two, his face revealed a suspicious expression, "Han Wu, Han Wen, why are you two here?" Han Wu and Han Wen were from the Black Turtle Cavalry Battalion, could it be that the head of the palace had received the news and sent someone to find him?

Han Wen and Han Wu looked at each other, and Han Wu said with difficulty, "We were ordered by the Emperor to follow Seventh Prince to find this …" Han Wu raised his eyes and looked at Su Jia'er, who was disguised as a man, "This young master." Let's just call it young master for now.

"Oh? royal father coming from far away to find a little gongzi, that does not make sense. " The handsome young master laughed.

"This …" Han Wen and Han Wu didn't know how to reply.

Su Jia'er voiced out in response, "What do they know? "If you want to ask, why don't you go out and ask that Seventh Elder."

The handsome young master did not speak further, his gaze landing on Su Jia'er.

Seeing him shut up, Su Jia'er pointed at the armor in Han Wen's and Han Wu's hands, "You and your errand boy can put this on and wait for me at the village entrance."

She instructed the village chief, "The village. These two adults will be staying in the village for a while. I have something to do so I need to go out. If there are outsiders, you know what to do." I'll go back and say my goodbyes to Ah Xiu first. "

The village chief nodded his head, "Little gongzi, don't worry about it."

Su Jia'er was about to turn around and leave when the handsome young master called out to her, "Wait."

She looked back at him and he said, "I'm Qi Jingluo."

"Oh." Su Jia'er replied coldly.

Qi Jingluo's bookkeeper was not happy about this. "What attitude is this? You don't seem to care about me at all."

Qi Jingluo smiled happily. "It's hard to find someone who doesn't care about me."

She walked up to Su Jia Er's side and pulled Su Jia'er into a small wooden pavilion with one hand, "Mother, I heard from little Yi'er that you are going to Lan Ling County?"

A trace of gentleness appeared on Su Jia'er's cold face. Her voice also became softer. "Xue Niang, don't worry. After so many years, things have changed." Xue Niang was the child that she and Ah Xiu saved under the hands of the robbers back then. The two of them couldn't find Xue Niang's other family members, so they adopted her.

"Mother, is that Broken Jade really that important?" Xue Niang was so anxious that her brows were tightly knitted. "Mother, you really won't think of the past when you went to Lanling?" You finally managed to walk out of the shadow of my father's death, and now you're going back? "

Xue Niang's words were like a thorn that broke Su Jia'er's bitter water. That bitterness spread from her heart to her breathing.

After a long while, she slowly said, "Xue Niang, you have to face it. Furthermore, you should know better than me how important that Broken Jade is to me. "

Xue Niang knew that Su Jia'er had made up her mind and couldn't be persuaded. She sighed, "Mother, everyone wants to live, only you want to die."

"I don't want to die. I just want to live a normal life." Su Jia'er patted Xue Niang's back, "Child, sometimes, eternal life brings people endless boredom and loneliness."

"Mother …" Xue Niang looked at Su Jia'er with red eyes. She was adopted by her mother and accompanied her mother for more than 40 years. She knew that her father's death had dealt a great blow to her mother.

As Su Jia'er retracted her sorrowful thoughts, she suddenly thought of something and said, "Xue Niang, the 3rd uncle of the 2nd new year family is not bad. He's a good person to live." Ever since Xue Niang had lost her husband, she had been accompanying her. She knew that Xue Niang was afraid that she would be lonely, but life always had to go, she shouldn't waste her life because of accompanying her.

"No, Xue Niang only wants to stay with Mother for the rest of her life."

Seeing that Xue Niang was so determined, Su Jia'er could not say anything else. She had no choice but to leave later to find her third uncle and ask him to take good care of Xue Niang during this period.
