When Shangguan Yunxiao opened his eyes, he saw Yan Xiaosi sitting by the bed with a worried look on his face.
"What time is it?"
Hearing this.
Yan Xiaosi came back to his senses and said, "Your Highness, it's the end of the afternoon."
"Pick up and go to Luoxia Cottage to wait now."
Shangguan Yunxiao turned over and got out of bed, stretched out his long arms, and Yan Xiaosi hurriedly helped him get dressed.
"Your Highness..."
Shangguan Yunxiao frowned, "If you have something to say, tell me quickly."
"Half an incense stick ago, Duan Li came to report that the Ninth Prince had been assassinated at the county's northern dock."
"What? Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
Shangguan Yunxiao's heart instantly rose to his throat and he was about to walk out.
"Your Highness, don't worry." Yan Xiaoxi quickly spoke up to stop him. "The Ninth Prince is fine. He's out of danger."
"What about the Su family! And those three children, are they okay?!" Shangguan Yunxiao was so angry that he grabbed Yan Xiaosi's collar and beat him.
"It's such a big deal, but you didn't even wake me up. You let me sleep until I woke up naturally. You're getting more and more self-willed!"
Yan Xiaosi quickly begged for mercy, "Your Highness, please spare my life. They are all fine. I am just trying to keep you healthy."
Shangguan Yunxiao loosened his grip upon hearing this. "...Where are those assassins? Are there any survivors?"
"The Su family is incredibly skilled, and none of them survived. The three boatmen who fell into the water and escaped were knocked unconscious by Duan Li and Duan Wu, and sent to the county government office..."
Shangguan Yunxiao frowned, "Will it be exposed?"
"They took bribes and are out to kill for money!"
"Let's go to the North County Pier now."

"Thank you, God, for making my wish come true and giving me a mother..."
Su Ning'an looked at the wishing tree and muttered silently. At this moment, he felt very complicated.
Two years ago, not long after returning from lighting lanterns and making wishes, my father became blind and disabled. His life became increasingly difficult. I felt at that time that he would never be loved by my mother.
He never expected that he would have a mother two years later. This made him so happy.
He will pamper his mother well and will not let God down.
Thinking of this, Su Ning'an looked at the wishing tree and a bright smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Su Ning'an turned his head to look at Su Xingyi, and happened to see his father secretly looking at his mother.
It was not difficult for him to guess that the wish his father had made back then must have been to have a wife.
Hahahaha...he must have guessed right!
Su Ning'an was right in his guess. Su Xingyi lit the lanterns two years ago in the hope of finding a good girl who would not only like him and want to marry him, but also like the four children he adopted.
If not, he hopes the children can grow up healthy.
Su Xingyi never expected that when he was blind and disabled and in the most difficult time, the government would actually send him a wife.
He knew that she was forced to marry him.
They had originally agreed to be a couple in name only, and when the time was right, they would divorce her and send her to meet her family.
As time went by, his heart changed and he no longer expected to see a day of divorce.
That day he expressed his feelings to Xiaoyu and said that he liked her.
He knew that she also liked him a little.
He couldn't believe it and felt like he was dreaming.
When he saw the painting made by Anger today, he knew that Xiaoyu liked him.
Xiao Lingyu was standing in front of the wishing tree with his hands clasped and his eyes slightly closed. Feeling the gaze on him from the side, he slowly opened his eyes and looked, and met his sparkling eyes.
How come Su Xingyi becomes more handsome?
More and more pleasing to the eye?
Oops! I'm a little obsessed.
"Xingyi, have you fulfilled your wish?"
"I have fulfilled my wish."
"Can you make another wish?"
Su Xingyi slowly walked towards Xiao Lingyu, reached out and gently tucked a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear, and said to her with a smile, "...I've already promised."
Xiao Lingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Can you tell me what wish you made?"
Su Xingyi's face flushed slightly upon hearing this. He looked at her tenderly for a long time before saying, "...I'll talk to you when your wish comes true, okay?"
He decided not to take the child home to raise. He wanted to have a legitimate baby with her...
He didn't dare to tell her about this now because he was afraid of scaring her.
Xiao Lingyu smiled, took his big hand, and took Xiao Xier's small hand with the other. "Then wait until the day your wish comes true and tell me... We should go back."
"Everyone, get out of the way. The government is investigating the case."
Lin Kun hurriedly brought Zhang Qing and a group of constables to the county's north pier.
"The couple are both good-looking and look very wealthy."
"With three sons, a chubby one, two average-sized ones, and a little girl who's about three years old..."
Lin Kun recalled the words of the three boatmen in his mind and had a bad feeling.
It must not be the Su family!
It shouldn’t be!
How could there be someone who is not afraid of death and wants to harm the lives of the Su family!
"Boss, look quickly." Zhang Qing shouted urgently.
Lin Kun looked over and was shocked to see two or three corpses in black clothes floating on the river two hundred meters ahead.
"Hurry up and send someone to salvage it. Notice that tonight's Lantern Festival is cancelled!"
Lin Kun quickly glanced around and soon saw a familiar carriage in front of Fenglin Carriage Company.
"Hey, where is the owner of this carriage now?!"
Seeing Lin Kun's anxious look, the clerk at the carriage shop quickly confessed, "The owner of the carriage went to the south bank at 3:00 PM to take the children on a boat trip."
"What? It's been so long?!"
The car dealer felt something was wrong when he heard this. He was busy receiving guests and didn't notice that the Su family hadn't returned yet, and it was almost the evening hour!
sky!
There won't be any accidents on the boat, right?
"Captain Lin, maybe they're having fun and might be back soon."
The car dealer looked up at the dock and saw several constables fishing a 'person' out of the river.
Lin Kun's heart sank. The three boatmen must be referring to the Su family.
Xiao Lingyu stood on the deck with his arms folded across his chest, looking at the shimmering river surface. He knew that the bodies in the river would be discovered sooner or later if they washed down to the ground.
The coroner can easily trace the time of death back to them.
Xiaojiu's identity cannot be revealed for the time being, so she can only tell Lord Miao that these people are here to assassinate her.
"Dad, Mom, this is bad. The bad guys have been rescued by Uncle Lin Kun and the others. Will I be arrested and beaten?" Su Ning'an subconsciously touched his butt.
They arrived pretty quickly!
"Don't be afraid, An Ge'er. We almost died here. Killing them is self-rescue and does not violate the laws of Beiyi."
Su Ning'an felt relieved after hearing this, and he didn't want to hurt anyone!
When Shangguan Jinnian saw this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. His identity must not be exposed.
This time, he and his nephew Yunxiao sneaked into Beiyi and were discovered by government officials. The report was made to the Emperor of Beiyi, causing quite a bit of trouble.
When Lin Kun saw the people on the big ship clearly, he felt relieved.
