Chapter 1 Noble Lady

In the back mountain of Nanshan Temple.

A beautiful woman in a light blue dress stopped a tall, slender man with a cool and aloof demeanor.

Her eyes were slightly red as she stubbornly looked at Song Shiyan.

"Cousin, do you really not like Chu'er at all?"

No.

Shen Yun Chu: "I don't believe it. If you didn't like me, why did you send me medicine when I was injured, and why did you plead for me when I was being punished?..."

Song Shiyan said gently, "Chu'er, I only consider you my younger sister."

He always showed a bit of indulgence towards his cousin, after all, her parents had passed away when she was young, and she was very sensitive.

Shen Yun Chu: "Cousin, are you really going to marry Luo Xi in six months?"

Song Shiyan looked helplessly at his cousin and said, "Of course it's true."

Do you like her?

"The marriage is arranged by the parents and the matchmaker."

Shen Yun Chu: "Cousin, is it because Chu'er doesn't have a good family background, so..."

Song Shiyan interrupted her, "No."

Shen Yun Chu: ..........

It is not what it seems; it clearly is.

The second young lady of the Luo family is the second daughter of the prime minister, and her elder sister is a noble concubine in the palace.

Moreover, the Imperial Concubine gave birth to a third prince.

Don't assume she doesn't know.

He was after the power of the Luo family.

Shen Yun Chu cried and hugged Song Shi Yan's waist.

Song Shiyan pulled her out of his arms and said gently, "Chu'er, you're still young, you don't know what liking someone means."

Shen Yun Chu interrupted him, saying loudly, "I know."

She raised her right hand and wiped away the tears on her face.

She said defiantly, "Since my cousin doesn't like Chu'er and my aunt doesn't like me either, I'd better get married as soon as possible so I won't get in your way."

Song Shiyan's face was serious. "Chu'er, marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly."

"I don't take this lightly."

She ran away as soon as she finished speaking...

Fearing for her safety, Song Shiyan followed her.

After they left,

Luo Xi emerged from around the corner, her fingertips digging deeply into her palms, her eyes coldly fixed on the direction they had left in.

Zhuzhu lowered her head and remained silent.

Three days later.

When Shen Yun Chu woke up, she found herself in a dark and unfamiliar place. She was tied up with ropes and had a smelly cloth stuffed in her mouth, which almost made her faint.

Who? Who kidnapped her?

She doesn't know who she offended, that they would treat her like this.

She lost her family, and the man she loved was going to marry someone else. She had nothing left.

As soon as she thought about it, tears started flowing uncontrollably.

Just then, there was a commotion outside the door.

Shen Yun Chu looked warily toward the doorway.

"Bang!"

The door opened from the outside!

A woman wearing a mask walked in carrying a bowl of medicine and a small knife.

"Waaaaah!"

Shen Yun Chu looked at her in fear.

Su Yan walked up to her, placed the knife on the table, tore the cloth out of Shen Yun Chu's mouth with one hand, and before she could speak, she grabbed her chin and poured a bowl of slow-acting poison down her throat.

"Cough cough cough..."

After she finished drinking, Su Yan stuffed the cloth back into her hands.

She twirled the small knife in her hand, then placed it against her face, and under her terrified gaze, began to scrape her face inch by inch.

"Waaaaah!"

Shen Yun Chu struggled, in great pain, her tears flowing continuously, each drop causing a sharp pain when they touched her wound.

Fifteen minutes later, there was movement outside the door.

Su Yan casually stabbed Shen Yun Chu in the chest, so that even if Hua Tuo were alive again, he couldn't save her.

She quickly jumped into the tunnel under the wooden bed and left the place through the secret passage, which led to a suburb.

When she arrived in the suburbs, she observed her surroundings, changed into a new set of clothes, and burned all her old clothes.

When Song Shiyan arrived, he saw that Shen Yun Chu's face was disfigured, and there was an obvious knife wound on her chest. Her hands were hanging limply at her sides...

He rushed forward to check her breathing, and his body froze.

She stopped breathing.

He hated it so much!

"Investigate! Dig three feet into the ground and investigate!"

Who exactly is it?

How could they bear to treat her like this?

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Prime Minister's Residence.

Luo Xi saw that Su Yan had returned unharmed.

Then you know the matter has been resolved.

In a good mood, she drank a few more sips of fish soup.

So what if we like each other?

Since he is her fiancé, he should remain chaste for her.

She wasn't afraid that he had feelings for that other woman.

Anyway, that woman is dead. As long as we didn't embarrass her in public, that's fine. As for feelings, they're not important.

Half a month later.

The Marquis's Residence.

Luo Xi saw Song Shiyan staring blankly at the pond.

She walked to his side and said worriedly, "Brother Shiyan, you look so pale."

"What’s wrong with you?"

Song Shiyan looked down at Luo Xi's exquisite and beautiful face, and he was momentarily dazed.

She was indeed extremely beautiful, a fact he never denied.

Song Shiyan shook his head and said calmly, "It's nothing."

Song Shiyan had some doubts about Luo Xi regarding Chu'er's matter.

After all, she was his fiancée, and Chu'er... In short, Luo Xi might make a move.

However, he couldn't find out.

Moreover, she seemed to know nothing.

He investigated for half a month, but still couldn't find out who killed Chu'er.

His heart ached at the thought of the suffering Chu'er endured before her death.

"You go back first! I want to be alone for a while."

Luo Xi said dejectedly, "Okay, Brother Shi Yan."

He must be suspicious of her, since she's his fiancée?

So be it if you have doubts.

Anyway, he couldn't find anything.

Moreover, she had no feelings for him.

However, if he dared to embarrass her, he probably would have lived too long.
