Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Song Jiao turned to see Tang Yi emerge from the room.

She then realized that she and Qin Susu had been talking for quite a while.

She and Tang Yi exchanged glances; the latter was beaming.

It's easy to guess that the two people inside were having a very pleasant conversation.

Tang Yi was happy not only because of his marriage to Song Jiao, but also because Song Jiao was now a free agent.

Qin Feng accomplished what he couldn't.

Qin Susu took a serious look at Tang Yi. With just one glance, she knew that the man Song Jiao was talking about was him.

This person seems alright.

She nodded slightly to Tang Yi.

Tang Yi smiled back, then turned to Song Jiao and asked:

"This young lady is..."

Before Song Jiao could speak, Qin Susu leaned forward slightly and introduced herself, "My name is Qin Susu, and I'm good friends with Sister Song Jiao."

Tang Yi clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I am Tang Yi, and I am Jiao Jiao's fiancé."

After he finished speaking, he asked Song Jiao:

"Jiaojiao, want to go for a walk with me?"

Song Jiao gently touched her forehead.

"Wait." Hearing that Song Jiao was leaving, Qin Susu realized that Song Jiao had neglected her.

"Sister Jiaojiao, didn't Xiaoyan say that she wants me to help you take care of your brother?"

Song Jiao was slightly taken aback, instinctively wanting to refuse.

She thought Qin Susu wouldn't stay.

She laughed:

"Of course. Come on, I'll take you to the guest room."

"No, no need to trouble yourself. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. You two haven't seen each other in a long time, so why don't you catch up first? Um, is the area up ahead the guest room? I'll go there myself."

"Hmm, I'll stay with you..."

"No need, I'll go by myself." After saying that, she left the two of them alone and strode towards the guest room.

She inspected all the empty rooms in the courtyard and finally settled on a fine guest room.

"This room is nice, I'll take it."

Did I let you stay here?

Suddenly, a weak man's voice rang out from the main entrance.

Qin Susu lowered her eyes, somewhat embarrassed.

However, she has always been extremely thick-skinned.

"Uh...you've been staying at Xiaoyan's house for several days now, and I haven't kicked you out. Besides, Xiaoyan told me to stay and take care of your condition."

"Is she really that kind?" Qin Feng paused, then suddenly looked into the distance.

Immediately afterwards, two men leaped down and landed in front of him.

It was Xiao Ke and Xiao Han.

Qin Susu was startled, glanced at the two of them, and didn't think much of it.

She didn't care how much Qin Feng disliked her and went into the guest room on her own.

Xiao Ke and her companion were both surprised and relieved to see Qin Feng.

Although His Highness is seriously ill, thankfully, he is still alive.

The three looked at each other with the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

Xiao Ke knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, it is our incompetence that we failed to protect you."

"Please punish me, Your Highness." Xiao Han then knelt down.

When they saw His Highness again, their excitement was mixed with sorrow.

They believed that His Highness was dead and that they would never see him again in this life.

These past few days, they have been frantically searching for His Highness's body, but unable to find him, they are utterly despondent.

Later, before the New Year, he encountered Feng Qi and a group of his brothers on the road. Feng Qi told him that His Highness was still alive and was currently in a village in Lingnan.

Knowing that Feng Qi was trapped by Gu Qian, they wanted to help, but were powerless to do so.

Upon arriving at Lingnan Village, they hesitated to proceed due to the presence of Lingqi and Lingba.

That day, Gu Qian decimated more than half of their forces, scattered them one by one, and surrounded the two of them, nearly killing them.
