Chapter 245 Confession
Seeing that her grandparents were all safe, Yuan Ziyu planned to go back first. After all, this was Su Chengwei's secret room, and she and Huo Xifei couldn't stay here for long.
"You'er, you must be careful. Do everything within your ability and don't try to be stubborn. If anything really happens in the future, you must remember to just take good care of your mother. Do you understand?" Although Su Liu was reluctant to part with her granddaughter whom she had just met, she also knew that now was not the time to reminisce about the past, so she could only give her earnest advice.
"Grandma, don't worry. I will definitely get you out!" Yuan Ziyu comforted Su Liushi and said to Su Zhongkang, "Grandpa, I'm sorry to trouble you to stay here for a while longer. If the person behind Su Chengwei is not found, I'm afraid even if you get out of here, you won't be able to rest in peace."
"I understand. Just go do your job!" Su Zhongkang nodded and said, "Don't worry about this. We've been through this for so many years. These few days won't be a big deal."
"Okay, then Brother Xi and I will leave first!" Yuan Ziyu said, "If my uncle wakes up, you must also tell him not to move rashly. Just do as you did before!"
"Don't worry!"
After leaving the secret room, Yuan Ziyu brought Huo Xifei into the Qiongjiang Pavilion again. The two returned along the same route. When they returned to the study, it was still quiet all around. Yuan Ziyu directly left the Su Mansion using the Qiongjiang Pavilion as a cover.
After returning to the room in the courtyard, Yuan Ziyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She did not take Huo Xifei out of Qiongjiang Pavilion, but glanced at Huo Xifei who was checking the medicine field on the side, and began to think about how to describe this incredible thing to Huo Xifei.
Yuan Ziyou's tangled expression naturally caught Huo Xifei's attention. He smiled and said, "Have you figured out how to tell me?"
Yuan Ziyu puffed out his cheeks and finally made up his mind. Since everyone was already in the Qiongjiang Pavilion, he might as well tell the truth.
So, Yuan Ziyu told Huo Xifei the whole story from beginning to end, even the matter of rebirth, without leaving out a single detail.
After saying this, Yuan Ziyu lowered his head slightly, somewhat afraid to look into Huo Xifei's eyes.
Although she mustered up the courage to tell everything, she was still a little nervous, worried that Huo Xifei would show a strange look in his eyes.
After a long while, Huo Xifei's voice came from above Yuan Ziyu's head: "You'er!"
Yuan Ziyu didn't say anything, still keeping her head slightly lowered. Her nervousness made her ignore the heartache in Huo Xifei's voice.
"You'er!" Seeing this, Huo Xifei had no choice but to move closer and hug Yuan Ziyou in his arms: "Don't be afraid, it's all over, I'll take care of you from now on!"
This one sentence seemed to open the floodgates of Yuan Ziyu's tears.
She nestled in Huo Xifei's arms, trying to hold back the tears that were about to burst out, but she couldn't hold them back. The tears fell drop by drop, and finally she just hugged Huo Xifei and burst into tears.
Huo Xifei let Yuan Ziyu cry in his arms without saying a word, just holding her tightly.
For a moment, the only sound in the entire Qiongjiang Pavilion was Yuan Ziyu's crying, and it took a long time for it to stop.
"Are you feeling better?" Looking at Yuan Ziyu's red eyes from crying, Huo Xifei was a little annoyed with himself. He shouldn't have let Yuan Ziyu cry so much and hurt her eyes.
"Better!" Yuan Ziyu's eyes wandered with embarrassment. It was really embarrassing. Plus, she had cried like this twice in front of Brother Xi in the restaurant. Brother Xi wouldn't think she was a crybaby, would he?
"Alright, how long are you going to hide from me?" Huo Xifei turned Yuan Ziyu's face towards him with amusement: "Look at me."
"What are you doing!" Yuan Ziyu covered his eyes with his hands: "Don't look, it's ugly."
"No matter how ugly she is, she is still my wife!" Huo Xifei said while suppressing his laughter.
When Yuan Ziyou heard this, he put his hand down and looked at Huo Xifei: "Do you think I'm ugly?"
"No!"
"But you just said that!"
"Is there?"
"have!"
"Okay then, I said it!"
"Look, you still think I'm ugly!"
Huo Xifei laughed: "Looks like everything is fine now. You can argue with me now!"
"You..." Yuan Ziyu puffed up his cheeks and turned his head away: "Humph!"
"You'er, let's get down to business!" Huo Xifei pulled Yuan Ziyou to sit down. "In your previous life, it was Huainan Hou and Tuoba Hun who harmed you. Do you think Su Chengwei could be one of their men?"
Without waiting for Yuan Ziyu's reply, Huo Xifei shook his head again: "That's not right. What Su Chengwei wants, besides the treasures, is the imperial seal. Tuoba Hun is the eldest prince of the Chile people. It's natural for him to inherit the throne. He doesn't need the imperial seal at all. And the Marquis of Huainan is just a marquis from another family. Even if he has the imperial seal, it's not legitimate. He's not as good as the Su family. If the Su family really wants to do something, I'm afraid they might still respond."
Yuan Ziyou looked at Huo Xifei and said, "Brother Xi, do you think Su Chengwei's master is someone else?"
"Yes!" Huo Xifei nodded. "This person must have some royal bloodline to be able to gain support. Moreover, if he wants to ascend to the throne, there will be some obstacles. He needs something to support him so that he can be legitimate!"
At this point, Yuan Ziyou and Huo Xifei glanced at each other and said in unison, "Second Prince!"
The second prince Xuanyuan Xiao!
"If that's the case, perhaps everything can be explained, but..." Huo Xifei was a little confused again: "If what my grandfather said is true, this game was set up more than 30 years ago. At that time, the Second Prince was not even born yet. Who set up this game?"
"No...it can't be Master Liu..." Thinking of this possibility, Yuan Ziyu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Is this true? Master Liu doesn’t seem like that kind of person!
Throughout the Manchu dynasties, everyone knew that what Grand Tutor Liu valued most was reputation.
Liu Haozhe's actions brought shame to Master Liu. In his previous life, Master Liu even executed his son in the street to restore his family's reputation!
Could such a person be the mastermind behind the Su family's affairs?
"You can know a person's face but not his heart. It's true or not. We have to check it out to find out!" Huo Xifei said with narrowed eyes.
"Then let's find a time to capture Su Chengwei and force him to tell the truth!" Yuan Ziyu said to Huo Xifei.
"Don't be anxious!" Huo Xifei shook his head: "You'er, do you still have those drugs you had in your hand?"
"Yeah!" Yuan Ziyu nodded and flew into the warehouse with Huo Xi.
In this warehouse, Yuan Ziyu found an opportunity to place a treasure cabinet. All the various pills, powders, etc. that she prepared were placed in this treasure cabinet.
"This is a sleeping pill, this is itching powder, this is acne powder, this is croton powder, this is sleeping powder, this is blindness powder, this is deafness powder..." Yuan Ziyu pulled Huo Xifei, pointed at the various medicinal powders on the Duobao Pavilion, and introduced them to Huo Xifei one by one.
Huo Xifei was stunned when he heard this: "Where did you learn the recipes for so many medicinal powders?"
"The hermit has a clever plan!" Yuan Ziyou chuckled. Nanny Gu didn't want to reveal her identity, and Yuan Ziyou couldn't tell Huo Xifei the origin of the powder. "But these powders don't have an antidote, and the effect will only last for an hour or two!"
“That’s enough!”
