Chapter 58 Acting, Returning to the Su Family

Yun Yi's face was cold. He turned around and looked at Liu Jinshu, and whispered, "Miss Liu, it's getting late today. I'll take you home."

Liu Jinshu held Yun Yi's sleeve tightly and looked at Yun Yi with tearful eyes.

After a long while, she finally said, "Then I'll trouble you, Master Yun."

Seeing her like this, Yun Yi snorted in his heart.

Sure enough, the tactic of playing hard to get actually works.

On the other side, after Su Yuheng and Huo Xingzhi's carriage arrived in Yanjing City, Huo Xingzhi took Su Yuheng to Yipin Building.

After opening the door to the private room, Huo Xingzhi placed the person on the couch and took off his coat to cover her, hoping that Su Yuheng could rest for a while longer.

Just as he was about to go out, Su Yuheng reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"Huo Xingzhi."

Huo Xingzhi turned around, slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to stroke her cheek.

"What's wrong?"

Su Yuheng said: "Su Family Ancestral Hall."

"If my guess is correct, Su Yanqiu will send all the servants and guards of the Su family to the White Horse Temple in order to find me. Why don't we try the Su family ancestral hall again?"

"Are you going?" Huo Xingzhi asked.

Su Yuheng said: "Although I don't know what is inside the Su family ancestral hall, my intuition tells me that there must be something shameful in the hall."

"I want to go, can you help me?"

"Besides, I can't be exposed in front of the Su family right now. I plan to go back to the Su family later."

Huo Xingzhi frowned, reached out and helped Su Yuheng sit down, and said gently: "I will go and take care of this matter. You wait here obediently, I will be back soon."

After Huo Xingzhi finished speaking, he turned around and left the private room.

As dusk approached, Su Yanqiu sent all the guards of the Su family to the White Horse Temple to find Su Yuheng's whereabouts.

Huo Xingzhi entered the mansion from the northwest and went directly to the Su family ancestral hall.

As soon as I entered the Su family ancestral hall, a chill swept over me.

He frowned, walked around the tablets of the Su family's ancestors and went inside, then he heard a chaotic and hoarse voice.

The sound was so small that if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to hear it at all.

Huo Xingzhi continued to walk in and saw a strange object enshrined on the altar.

That sound came from inside.

I think the mechanism should be on the altar.

He had been here once before, when he discovered the altar. Just as he was about to approach it, the altar shot out sharp arrows.

This time, he wanted to try again.

He walked around the altar and headed to the left.

Just as he was about to get closer, arrows came towards him from all directions.

After Huo Xingzhi rolled over and dodged, a bell suddenly rang in the ancestral hall.

"Sure enough, this nine-linked formation is not so easy to break."

"It seems that we really need to go to the South China Sea to find the craftsman."

When Huo Xingzhi returned to Yipin Building, Su Yuheng was still sleeping soundly.

Hearing someone opening the door, Su Yuheng subconsciously opened his eyes and saw Huo Xingzhi in black clothes coming in from outside.

Some parts of his black brocade robe had been pierced by sharp arrows.

"What happened? Are you hurt?" Su Yuheng asked worriedly.

Huo Xingzhi shook his head and said, "No."

"We still can't enter the Su Family Ancestral Hall. I'm afraid we'll have to send someone to the South China Sea to find the craftsman."

"However, I am certain that there is someone imprisoned in the Su Family Ancestral Hall, and it is a man. Judging from his voice, he should be around forty or fifty years old."

Forty or fifty years old?

Su Yuheng frowned.

Who would Su Yanqiu lock up in there?

Also, if it wasn’t Shen Tingzhou inside.

Where is Shen Tingzhou?

Seeing her frown, Huo Xingzhi comforted her, "Don't worry, your brother will find her."

Su Yuheng nodded slowly, "I hope so. I hope he is safe and sound."

…

As the sky gradually darkened, Su Yanqiu still took the guards to search for Su Yuheng's whereabouts in the White Horse Temple, while Liu took Liu Yunli back to the Su family.

Until night fell, Su Yanqiu still had not returned to the Marquis' Mansion. His guards turned the entire White Horse Temple upside down but still could not find Su Yuheng's whereabouts.

"Prince, why don't we go back to the Su family, in case the fourth lady has returned to the Su family."

Su Yanqiu looked dazed. He had been searching for four hours but still couldn't find Su Yuheng.

He closed his eyes in pain and said, "Leave some guards to continue searching for Heng'er's whereabouts, and some to go to Yanjing City with this prince."

Mo Yu clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Prince."

Until the hour of Hai.

Su Yuheng got up from the couch only after Bai Ze reported that Su Yanqiu had returned to the Su family.

Huo Xingzhi steadied her and asked, "You want to go back to the Su family so soon?"

Su Yuheng nodded and looked at Huo Xingzhi: "Your Majesty, can you give me some blood?"

"Blood?" Huo Xingzhi frowned.

"What blood?"

Su Yuheng said, "Duck blood or chicken blood is fine, it doesn't matter how much."

"Since it's a play, we have to take it seriously."

"Please ask Your Majesty to help Heng'er and secretly take me to the side gate of the Su Mansion."

Huo Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, gently pinched her chin, and whispered, "If you want to ask for help, you have to act like you're asking for help."

"You know me. I never do a deal that's not worth it."

"What do you want?" Su Yuheng asked.

Huo Xingzhi frowned and said, "I want all those lies you said to Su Yanqiu to come true on me."

"You lied to him and said you were willing to have children with him and to be with him forever."

"I want you to do these to me."

Su Yuheng could see that Huo Xingzhi was jealous.

She curled her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty's request is a bit too much, I can't do it."

Huo Xingzhi reached out and pinched her waist, pulling her under him.

"What do you mean? What do you mean by 'not enough'? Are you putting on an act with me?"

"No." Su Yuheng explained.

"I promise you, okay? My Shen family's revenge has not yet been avenged, how can I promise the prince?"

"Then... do you have me in your heart?" Huo Xing asked word by word.

Su Yuheng curled her lips and said, "What do you think, Your Highness? If I didn't have you in my heart, how could you be so frivolous to me?"

"Flirtatious?"

Huo Xingzhi smiled.

"You said I left marks on you, I kissed you."

The man's eyes were filled with doting, and she helped him off the bed.

"My dear Heng'er, I hope what you say is true."

"I'll take you back to the Su family."

…

The Su family was in complete chaos at this moment.

When Liu Jinshu was sent back by Yun Yi, he went to the courtyard where Liu Yunli was. As soon as he entered, he heard Liu's crying.

"Mother, what happened?"

Liu turned around and looked at Liu Jinshu, angrily saying, "Why did the task I asked you to do turn out like this? Where's that little bitch?"

Liu Jinshu walked in timidly, not daring to look at Liu's eyes.

"I...I did it according to your instructions, but I don't know..."

"Enough!" Liu slammed her palm on the table.

Now that Liu Yunli's life was cut off, if the Liu family knew about this, her brother would probably come to Yanjing with a knife and chop her into pieces.

"Cousin Yunli, who did this?"

Liu was upset and didn't reply. Then she saw Nanny Gui coming over and whispered, "Miss, the lady is not feeling well now. You should go back to Fangfei Garden first."

"This palace is already in chaos."

Liu Jinshu muttered, "You think I want to come?"

Seeing that Liu didn't like her, Liu Jinshu went straight back to the west wing of Fangfeiyuan.

When Su Yanqiu returned to the Su family, he still hadn't received any news from Su Yuheng, and he was almost going crazy.

This matter concerned Su Yuheng's reputation, so he didn't dare to ask anyone to report to the authorities.

It was not until midnight that Mo Yu hurried over.

"Sir, the young lady has returned home and is at the side door."

For a moment, Su Yanqiu's eyes turned red and he ran towards the side door like crazy.

I saw a familiar slender figure from a distance.

The girl's body, wrists, and face were all covered in blood.

Her hair was disheveled and her dress was torn.

There were many blood marks on his wrists due to friction. He stood in the wind, looking so pitiful that it made him feel distressed.

"Heng'er."

"Second brother...it hurts so much." The girl's eyes were red, her voice was choked, and she looked at Su Yanqiu with a pair of wet eyes.

Before she even stepped into the side door of the Su family, she fell to the ground.

"Heng'er."

"I will never let anyone hurt you again."

Su Yanqiu rushed over and wanted to pick the person up, but was pushed away by Nanny Wang who was beside Old Madam Su.

"Prince, please be aware of your and the young lady's identities!"

"The old lady said that the prince and the young lady cannot have close contact."
