"He's blind, why..." Wu Yue murmured to herself, her eyes filled with a mixture of disbelief and barely perceptible heartache. When they first met, what had caught her eye were those deep, restrained eyes, carrying a faint, bright hope. How could this be? Only two years had passed, and he had gone blind?
"Sister Yue, what's wrong?" Seeing that her expression was not right, Long Jingyuan hurriedly called out, his gentle voice, as soft as a gentle breeze, entered Wu Yue's ears.
"Sister Yue? Sister Yue?"
"Madam Witch!"
After regaining her senses, Wu Yue's earlier teasing of Long Jingyuan softened somewhat: "Sorry, little imp, I have other things to do. Just tell the kitchen what you'd like to eat."
She summoned a clever-looking servant and asked him to take Long Jingyuan to the kitchen, giving him a few more instructions to treat the distinguished guest well.
Long Jingyuan was about to reveal a few more pieces of information about Su Qin'an when Wu Yue turned and left, leaping onto the carriage in a few quick steps. The four large wheels rolled away, and the jade pendant bearing the white koi carp emblem, a symbol of the Wu family's identity, hanging from the corner of the carriage swayed slightly, its pale blue jade tassels fluttering in the wind. The sound of the pendant was so faint that it seemed to be swallowed up by the wind.
The carriage came to a stop at the entrance of the deserted alley.
Wu Yue cast an invisibility spell, lifted the curtain, and stepped out of the carriage. The woman pulled her red cloak tighter around herself; the brim of her hood was embroidered with white fur. A gentle breeze swept across her face, tickling it slightly, yet also feeling tender.
Wu Yue took two steps, then suddenly turned back, tapped the driver's forehead with her index finger, and murmured two words. The driver then repeated the words.
It turns out that the driver, who was unable to speak, was actually a paper figure in disguise.
In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Wu Yue arrived at the Su family's residence. She easily made her way directly into Su Qin'an's bedroom.
Back then, when she was looking for a son for a mission, she did quite a few things like climbing over walls.
Su Qin'an was not there, and the furnishings in the room remained as simple as ever.
Although Su Qin'an has not yet achieved absolute power in the Su family, his status is different from before. Half a month ago, he was recognized as the next head of the Su family.
They didn't change the courtyard or add any luxurious decorations.
This surprised Wu Yue.
Yes, she was the one who arranged the furnishings for Su Qin'an's room in the Witch's Mansion; it was a mess, filled with all sorts of things, and not simple at all. Su Qin'an didn't show any displeasure, nor did he suggest changing rooms. She thought he liked it.
Wu Yue walked around the house to make sure there were no evil spirits causing trouble and that the objects were not tainted by evil energy before she felt relieved and prepared to go to the study to find someone.
Just as she was about to jump out of the wide-open window, a gust of wind blew in, flipping open the notebook on the desk, and a piece of paper floated out, coincidentally landing on Wu Yue's face as she turned her head to avoid the wind.
Wu Yue quickly took it down, and a small photo of herself came into view. She looked at it carefully for a moment; it was quite lifelike. But why did the background seem a little dark and blurry, as if some kind of mark was seeping through it?
She flipped it over to look at the back.
It turns out...
The divorce agreement she wrote two years ago?
Wu Yue's first instinct was to check the signature, and then she was dumbfounded.
There was only her signature at the end, and the handwriting had faded a bit by now. The piece seemed to be stained with water and looked somewhat dirty.
Wu Yue was momentarily speechless. Su Qin'an had actually lied to her, saying he'd already signed it? Yes, the copy given to her was indeed signed, but hers was blank. What did that mean?
She suddenly had a thought: could it be that the three characters "Su Qin'an" on the divorce agreement were written by someone else? If someone else signed it, would the divorce agreement even be valid?!
Visionary…
Yes, Gao Zhan grew up with Su Qin'an since childhood. When Su Qin'an was young, he was ostracized by his brothers and falsely accused of being a scapegoat. It was common for him to be confined by the head of the family and punished by copying hundreds of poems. At that time, Gao Zhan would help him. The premise of helping him was that Gao Zhan had also mastered the same handwriting as Su Qin'an, which was very useful!
Wu Yue couldn't tell whether she was angry or amused. Well, before learning the truth, she decided to check on Su Qin'an's condition first.
"Gao Zhan, let's leave it here. I'm familiar with my house, it won't break."
It was still that gentle voice, but it carried a subtle, inexplicable change.
