Wu Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly, "My disciple, you have accumulated countless merits and are a blessed person, which is why you can change the fate of those around you. But if you make a mistake and implicate innocent people, causing all your merits to be destroyed, then you and those around you may be doomed forever. Therefore, I hope you will think twice before making any important decisions!"
Su Youran's heart skipped a beat. Had her master noticed something?
She took a deep breath, suppressing the last trace of resentment in her heart, and obediently nodded and smiled, "I understand, Master. Thank you for your comfort today."
Wu Wang stood up expressionlessly. "I'm leaving."
Su Youran tugged at his sleeve again and asked with a grin, "Master, have you and Eldest Prince's godmother made any progress?"
Wu Wang's earlobes immediately flushed red, and he turned and left.
A female disciple discussing how to win back her former monk master's wife—it's just so bizarre.
Su Youran laughed and said loudly, "Master, if you admire her, you should say it out loud!"
Wuwang stumbled, nearly tripping over his own foot with his left.
With a whooshing sound of clothes fluttering, his figure vanished.
A moment later, a figure slowly appeared behind the roof ridge.
It was none other than Crown Prince Chu Heng.
His eyes held a deep, unfathomable depth.
Inside the room, Su Youran slowly pulled herself out of her thoughts, glanced at the sleeping Su Yue, picked up paper and pen from the table beside her, moved the oil lamp over, wrote a letter to her brother Su Youchen, and after thinking for a moment, wrote another letter to her uncle and cousin.
She wanted to double-check that her brother was alright.
After my brother arrived in Liaozhou, he wrote a letter back saying that everything was fine and that they were working hard to relocate the people at the foot of the snow mountain.
I wonder if things are going smoothly now? Did the avalanche actually happen?
On her way home this evening, she suddenly remembered how her brother died in her previous life.
Before she was locked in the dark room, her brother had actually died in her arms the day before.
That memory was so traumatic that after waking up in the dark room and suffering the excruciating pain of being violated, she completely forgot about her brother's death.
That day, she was going out to pick out a birthday gift for Yun Tianbai when she saw someone fall off a horse in front of her.
That was Jiang Youchen, whose face was completely pale.
Jiang Youchen said intermittently, "The entire Su family was wiped out, sister, you must be careful... the Yun family..." before dying in her arms.
She was so frightened that her soul almost left her body and she was in excruciating pain that she had no time to think about what her brother meant by "be careful of the Yun family".
She just couldn't understand why, in just a few years, her maternal grandparents' Su family had been completely wiped out, and her only brother had also died tragically.
A few years ago, my father-in-law, Yun Yue, and my grandmother, Madam Yun, passed away one after another.
Even if everyone in the world who was kind to her died!
She refused to believe her brother was dead. Some old women were talking privately about a miracle doctor outside the city who could bring the dead back to life and had once saved people like her brother who had turned blue from poisoning.
Clinging to her only hope, she inquired about the divine physician's whereabouts from the old woman, but the old woman didn't know either. She only said that the divine physician often went out to collect herbs and might appear at the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of the capital.
She then left.
She asked everyone she met at the foot of the mountain, and sure enough, she stopped a woodcutter who said he knew the whereabouts of the divine doctor.
She followed the woodcutter, but halfway there the woodcutter knocked her and Suyue unconscious, and then carried her alone to a carriage and sped away.
When she woke up, she saw that the woodcutter had turned into a coachman, who was the gardener with a mole on the corner of his mouth whom she had met once in the Zhou family in this life!
She was thrown into a dilapidated house in a run-down manor.
Later, she screamed desperately to be let out so she could save her brother, but her mouth was gagged and she was knocked unconscious.
When he woke up again, he was in a pitch-black room where he could not see his own hand in front of his face. He was in excruciating pain and fear as a mute beggar with a foul stench possessed his body. He then fainted for a long time.
So long that in her fear she subconsciously discarded those terrible memories, including the memory of hearing servants gossiping before she fainted while hugging her brother, saying that she was destined to be a jinx, having been married into the Duke's mansion for six years, causing the deaths of her father-in-law in two years, her grandmother in two years, and then her maternal grandfather's entire family and her own brother in the next two years—such heartless words.
Now she remembers everything.
She also recalled the last moments before she bled to death during the excruciating pain of childbirth, when, in her delirium, she forced herself to say: if there is an afterlife, she must be a lucky star! A lucky star who brings good fortune and happiness to everyone around her!
She returned to her room in tears, the overwhelming memories chilling her to the bone.
It turns out that the unfortunate ending of my previous life was all caused by Shi Wenxia and Zhou Qingqian!
Then she couldn't stop crying, which made Su Yue panic.
Su Yue wanted to go and ask her mother for help, but she didn't want her mother to worry, so she stopped her, saying that she would be fine after crying for a while.
Then my master came.
Fortunately, her master arrived; otherwise, she might have been filled with a destructive hatred and done something drastic!
Her thoughts returned to the letter in front of her.
With his grandfather, maternal uncle, and cousin's reminders, they should be able to handle the matter of privately manufacturing weapons.
What she didn't know was that Jiang Mingxin's affair with the Su family, secretly operating an iron mine and manufacturing weapons for Prince Rong, had been exposed six years earlier. Jiang Mingxin committed suicide out of fear of implicating his entire clan.
Jiang Mingxin quickly sealed off and burned the iron mine, so the matter didn't become public knowledge, thus depriving the Emperor of any pretext to punish Prince Rong. Therefore, Su Youran was unaware of this matter.
That's a story for another time.
After she finished writing the letter, she couldn't help but burst into tears again.
He sealed the letters and put all the memories that had come to mind on his way back to the city back into his heart. After a moment of silence, he got up and went outside to fetch water to wash his face.
He had barely stepped out of the door when his expression hardened, and he shouted sharply, "Who?!"
Chu Heng gracefully descended, opened his folding fan, and laughed heartily, "The night is long and I have no desire to sleep, so I thought I'd come and see my future Crown Princess."
He had deliberately released his aura to make her notice.
Su Youran strained her swollen, red eyes to open them wide. "Who is your future Crown Princess?"
Chu Heng smiled warmly, "Didn't I propose to you in front of my father and mother?"
Su Youran snorted through her nose, "Didn't my mother also refuse in front of the Emperor, Empress, and Imperial Concubine?"
After saying that, she went straight to the water vat next to her, scooped up a ladle of water, and poured it into the basin.
“Your mother refused, but you didn’t refuse me.” Chu Heng followed behind her with a calm smile.
Su Youran put her hand into the basin. It was summer, so washing her face with cold water was fine, especially since her swollen eyelids needed a cold compress.
