Liu Luoyi gathered her temples together, and her posture was indescribably charming.
The old woman asked worriedly, "Second Miss, where have you been all night?"
Liu Luoyi looked distressed. "I wanted to walk around, but I got lost. It wasn't until dawn that I found my way back."
The old woman did not suspect anything and chanted Buddha's name with lingering fear in her heart, "Amitabha, fortunately the young lady is back."
The maid who was familiar with Caihuan looked behind Liu Luoyi and asked in confusion, "Where's Sister Caihuan? Didn't she come back with the young lady?"
Liu Luoyi was surprised, "Did she come to find me too?"
After hearing her say this, everyone thought that Caihuan had lost herself, but they were lucky that the young lady came back, so no one cared about Caihuan.
Liu Luoyi stretched and said, "Okay, I'm going to rest now. Don't disturb me."
After saying that, she twisted her body and walked towards her room. A second before pushing the door, she turned her head with awareness. Su Man was standing next to her at the door, looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Liu Luoyi smiled, put her index finger in front of her lips, made a "hush" gesture, and floated into the house.
...
Wuyou Village was shrouded in thick fog in the early morning, and even sunlight could not penetrate.
Si Xi was carried back by the servants. Although there was no scar on her body, she was unconscious.
Xu Yuan took her pulse, and as he took her pulse longer, his expression became more solemn.
"How is it?" Su Man asked.
"Judging from his pulse alone, there's nothing seriously wrong with Si Xi's health..."
"Then why hasn't she woken up yet?"
Xu Yuan looked strange, "It's hard to be sure. We need to go back to Liu Mansion and try some medicine."
There is no other way now but to leave Wuyou Village first.
The village chief knew that Suman and the others were leaving, so he came to see them off.
"Wuyou Village is located in a remote area, and we cannot provide adequate care. Please forgive me, young lady."
The village chief still hunched over, looking very respectful.
"You're too polite, village chief."
Su Man looked into his eyes. Although they were a little cloudy, they were no different from those of an ordinary person.
Could it be that the red pupil that flashed by last night was just her illusion?

In the carriage on the return journey, Liu Luoyi was wearing a fox fur cloak, with her entire face buried in the soft white fur collar.
She opened the curtain a little and looked outside with interest.
The cold wind sneaked in, bringing with it a biting chill. Su Man pulled up the quilt that was covering Sixi.
When Liu Luoyi had seen enough, she leaned on the soft pillow in the sedan and looked at Su Man. Su Man also lay motionless and let her look.
After a while, Liu Luoyi suddenly laughed, "Aren't you afraid?"
Su Man remained calm and asked, "What should I be afraid of?"
Liu Luoyi's fingertips twisted around the tassel of the hairpin, and she looked at Su Man with a frivolous look, "You know, I'm not Liu Luoyi."
Su Man's breath was choked.
She had already had a vague premonition before, but it was still very shocking to hear it said so bluntly.
Seeing Su Man's dark face, Liu Luoyi burst into laughter, "You really do know."
She seemed to be in a good mood, kicking her toes playfully.
Su Man took a deep breath, "What do you want."
Liu Luoyi tilted her head, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in the identity of the eldest daughter of the Liu family. As long as you keep it a secret, I won't do anything to you. However, if you dare to mention it to others..."
Her face turned gloomy in an instant, "Not to mention you, the entire Liu family will be doomed."
“…”
Although Liu Luoyi spoke harshly, Su Man felt faintly relieved.
Since she threatened her not to reveal her identity, it means that she still needs to use Liu Luoyi's skin.
This also means that she and the Liu family will not be in danger for the time being.
But what exactly is she going to do with Liu Luoyi's identity? Who is she?
Su Man kept all the questions to herself and tried to look scared. "I won't tell you. Please don't kill me."
Seeing that Su Man was so sensible, Liu Luoyi leaned back with satisfaction and looked at the scenery outside again.
In order to trick Liu Luoyi into giving her the body, she forcibly separated her soul and spirit. Only when her three souls and seven spirits were integrated could she fully control this body.
Her gaze looked towards an unknown place. By then, she would make all those who had hurt her pay the price.

next day
After returning to the Liu Mansion, Su Man first went to pay her respects to Madam Liu.
For fear of worrying Madam Liu, Su Man did not mention anything unusual in the village, and even attributed Sixi's coma to a cold. Even so, Madam Liu was still very worried.
"It's freezing cold, it's really hard for you. I'll have the servants make you some ginger soup to ward off the cold."
"Thank you, mother, for your concern."
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Su Man proposed to pay her respects to Mr. Liu. Mrs. Liu waved her hand and said, "No need to go. Your father is busy these days."
"What happened?"
"The emperor is ill, and the court is in chaos."
Su Man quickly understood. The emperor hadn't appointed a crown prince, so the Third and Fifth Princes would fight for power before the emperor's death. Scholar Liu, a veteran minister and a target of the two princes' wooing, was probably struggling with which side to side with and had no interest in seeing her.
So, after Su Man paid her respects to Madam Liu, she returned to Biluo Garden.
Si Xi is unconscious and is temporarily being served by Liu Ma.
"Miss, lunch is ready. Would you like to have it now?"
Su Man shook her head. "I'm not hungry yet. Let's put it aside for now."
Liu Ma saw that Su Man was worried, so she turned around and sent the servant away. She added a spoonful of calming incense to the incense burner on the table and then left.
