Chapter 289: Is Song Xiao really your son?
Su Tan sat quietly on the swing under the peach tree, slowly stroking the little fox's head, letting it lie in his arms to bask in the sun, and reached out to scratch its chin.
“Almost.”
Su Tan said this softly.
As long as she waits for the little nightmare ghost to arrive, she will be able to quickly find the remaining soul of Xiao Changle, and then she can bring Xiao Changle back to life.
The stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
Saving Changle is almost Su Tan's obsession.
As long as she keeps on obsessing over it, she will not be able to concentrate on her cultivation. No matter how much she advances in her cultivation, she will never be able to ascend to the immortal realm.
Indeed, she wanted to save little Changle, not for the purpose of ascending to heaven.
"What's coming soon?"
Lu Zhiheng stood under the peach tree, holding Sui Sui, who looked much fatter than before, in his arms, and walked towards her step by step.
He wasn't eavesdropping sincerely.
But he had excellent hearing since he was a child, and he could hear Su Tan's mumbling even from a distance.
"Why is Your Highness here?"
Su Tan raised her eyes and did not answer Lu Zhiheng's words. Sui Sui had already struggled to get off Lu Zhiheng and was running towards her.
The little fox jumped off Su Tan's body with a whoosh and pounced towards Sui Sui.
Su Tan's eyebrows jumped, and he was about to pull the little fox over, but Sui Sui's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the little fox. The fox turned over on its belly and hummed and acted coquettishly towards Sui Sui.
Su Tan stretched out his hand halfway and then silently retracted it.
Lu Zhiheng's heart finally settled down.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at his chubby little girl with an indescribable expression, "You are really brave. You dare to grab and pull out anything you see."
"This is a fox, not some cat or dog."
"Next time you see a tiger, try to catch it. Be careful, it might bite you."
Sui Sui played with the little fox, and made a face at her father, "Humph! It's not like I haven't caught it before!"
Lu Zhiheng: “…”
You are awesome.
You are amazing!
Lu Zhiheng ignored her and turned to look at Su Tan, fanning himself. "Have you heard? Some time ago, the Zheng family suffered some disaster. One night, all the valuables in the house were burned to ashes. The third young master of the Zheng family was tortured to death in an extremely cruel way. Not even a complete body was left. I heard that his flesh and blood were fed to dogs."
Su Tan made a surprised expression, "Really?"
"That's really regrettable."
"Has the murderer been caught?"
Lu Zhiheng: “…”
"You didn't do it?"
Pretend it!
Who can outshine her?
If this matter had nothing to do with her, he would take her last name!
Su Tan shook his head and laughed, his eyes just looking at Sui Sui who was playing with the fox, "Your Highness has misunderstood, I don't have such great ability."
"Besides, I have no grudge against the Zheng family, so there's no need for me to do this. I think this person must have a deep blood feud with the Zheng family, otherwise, he wouldn't do such a cruel thing."
"Since no innocent people were harmed, it shows that this person has some sense of justice in his heart. I wonder if the Dali Temple has caught the murderer."
She certainly didn't kill him.
Su Tan did not lie.
Lu Zhiheng was about to retort when he immediately caught the subtext in her words.
He half-closed his eyes, fanning the air with his folding fan, which actually brought a gust of peach blossom fragrance. "This murderer is so audacious that he committed such a heinous crime in the yard where the Zheng family keeps dogs, and yet no one noticed."
"I don't know who has such great ability. Those people in the Dali Temple can't catch such a capable murderer."
"If Miss Yanran had not died under your sword, I would have really suspected that she was the one who did it."
Not only was Lu Zhiheng's voice not slow, but his eyes were fixed on Su Tan's profile while he spoke.
Her skin was whiter than snow, and even standing under the gorgeous peach blossoms, her beauty was not overshadowed. However, the gorgeousness of the peach blossoms could not cover up the coldness in her eyes.
Su Tan's voice was still calm and slow, like the gentle gurgling of a mountain spring. "Miss Yanran is dead."
"Your Highness and the people from the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion saw her die by my sword."
"How could she have done this?"
"But Miss Yanran said earlier that there are countless bones in the Zheng family. I think there must be more than one wronged soul buried there. It's not surprising that it's being pursued by wronged souls."
"If the fate of the Zheng family can serve as a reminder to the world to do more good deeds, it will be considered a meritorious deed by the young master of the Zheng family. A hundred years from now, there will always be people who will be grateful to him."
Lu Zhiheng: “…”
What she said was too hurtful!
Zheng Sandu is already dead.
And he died in such a miserable way.
If Yanran were around, he would probably have been scared to death long ago.
Is there anyone who is grateful and thinking about him? Is it something very important?
"You really look like you don't know anything."
Lu Zhiheng continued to fan himself slowly and stared at Su Tan's profile.
It seemed as if she had been so distant and cold ever since he knew her, as if nothing in the world could stir up a ripple in her eyes.
Lu Zhiheng was really curious about who or what would happen in the future that could stir up Su Tan's emotions.
"Of course I don't know," Su Tan turned to look at Lu Zhiheng and replied calmly, "Your Highness, this is strange. I only focus on my cultivation every day. Other people's affairs have nothing to do with me. The Zheng family has never come to me for help, so how could I know this?"
"Oh, come to think of it, the Duke of Xingguo did confront me once, but he was so mad that I didn't take his words seriously. Now that I think about it, his words seem to be similar to your Highness's."
"Ah!" She showed a surprised expression, as if she had just realized it today. "Is what she said actually true? I was so slow to think about it. I didn't take it seriously at the time."
"I even told Duke Xingguo to practice more and do good deeds, and not to always interfere in other people's family affairs. Now that I think about it, it's really a sin. After all, the Third Young Master Zheng is his nephew-in-law."
Lu Zhiheng: “…”
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Su Tan was scolding Duke Xingguo or him.
She seemed to be criticizing him, but he had no evidence.
"So you're just like Sui Sui, you know nothing."
"This matter was originally supposed to be overseen by the Imperial Astronomical Commission, not the Dali Temple. But who dared to dig up skeletons in the Zheng family's yard? After my father learned the truth, he severely punished the Zheng family. They deserve this fate now. It's their own fault."
Su Tan did not comment.
However, when Sui Sui was holding the little fox, he suddenly raised his head again.
"Yes, Fairy Sister and I don't know anything."
Dad is such a strange man.
She had asked herself this question when she was in the palace.
She actually figured it out.
But she didn't tell her father.
Because she felt that it was the secret between Sister Fairy and Sister Yanran.
Since it is a secret, of course you can't tell it to others casually.
She could only say casually, "Dad knows what's going on, why are you asking me?"
I thought my father had calmed down.
I didn't expect that my father would come over and ask Fairy Sister again.
well!
Adults are really strange!
The same question should be asked several times to different people.
Who will Dad ask next time?
Sui Sui couldn't figure it out.
But she is a child and she forgets things.
If you can't figure something out, just put it behind you and stop thinking about it. You may never think about it again in this lifetime.
"Your ex-husband..."
Lu Zhiheng observed Su Tan's expression and found that his expression did not suddenly turn cold, nor was he immediately attracted by his words. Then he continued, "Your ex-husband seemed to have broken an arm yesterday."
When Lu Zhiheng said this, he really couldn't hide the gloating in his eyes.
So much so that Su Tan even wanted to remind him that he was a prince after all, so he should not laugh so excessively and should be more restrained to avoid being criticized.
"He's such a grown man, and he still broke his arm. That's really bad luck."
Su Tan made this comment in a calm and neutral manner.
Lu Zhiheng spread out his hands, and the arc of the folding fan he waved became more cheerful. He didn't want the villain to succeed, but he really couldn't help it.
"You're right. It's really bad luck for a grown man like you to end up like this."
"But I think it's because he's done too many bad things, and this is God's retribution for him."
Su Tan didn't react much.
She doesn't believe in retribution from God.
Just trust yourself.
However, the Song residence is filled with ghosts, so it is indeed a lively place to watch.
"By the way, the people I left in the palace heard that Master Ye wanted to take Song Xiao as his apprentice, but later gave up the idea because he had no talent."
When Lu Zhiheng said this, he couldn't help but remind him, "Are you sure that Song Xiao is really your child and hasn't been switched?"
How could her child have no talent for cultivation?
If it is said that Song Xiao, that ungrateful bastard, has nothing to do with Su Tan at all, then everything can be explained.
