Su Yiqing expressionlessly reached out and turned on the light in the room.
Under the bright lights, the messy, smashed items in the room were on full display.
Su Yiqing's cold eyes deepened even more. Su Miao had been pampered since childhood, which had spoiled her into having a spoiled princess temper. She would smash things whenever she got angry.
It goes without saying why Su Miao was so angry today, practically tearing the room apart. Everyone knows the answer.
Thinking back to what she said in her nightmare, even if Su Yiqing didn't want to believe that his sister, whom he had doted on for so many years, could have such a vicious mind, he couldn't help but believe it.
At this moment, Su Miao looked into the brightly lit room and saw no trace of Su Ruanruan's ghost, who was bleeding from all seven orifices and had died a terrible death.
There's absolutely nothing there!
Feeling the terrifying chill emanating from Su Yiqing again, she realized with a start that Su Yiqing might have heard everything she had said to Su Ruanruan's ghost.
She quickly wiped the snot and tears from her face, then reached out her little hand to tug at Su Yiqing's sleeve. "Big brother, I just had a really scary nightmare!"
"What did you dream about?" Su Yiqing looked down at her, his oppressive aura causing Su Miao to involuntarily shrink back.
“I…I dreamt…” Su Miao stammered.
In the past, she had had nightmares and screamed, waking Su Yiqing up. But at those times, Su Yiqing would hold her, comfort her, and tell her stories to lull her to sleep.
Never before has there been such a situation, with no comfort offered, and instead, the person who spoke was met with a fierce and accusatory tone.
Her eyes welled up with tears involuntarily. She looked up at Su Yiqing with her small face and softly called out, "Big Brother..."
Su Yiqing's heart was also aching. Although he deliberately ignored Su Miao the day Su Ruanruan came back, it was only to teach her a lesson and make her realize her mistake.
But to his surprise, he had that vivid and strange dream that very night.
He hadn't taken the strange dream seriously at first, but Su Miao's actions these past few days made him increasingly believe in the dream's reality.
His gaze toward Su Miao was filled with disappointment, and his voice was cold and oppressive, "You dreamt about Ruan Ruan, didn't you? Ruan Ruan came to take your life?"
Su Miao's face was filled with panic. She had hoped that Su Yiqing hadn't heard what she said, but now...
“Su Miao, you’re only eight years old? Since you came to the Su family, what have your parents or your brothers ever done to wrong you? You have better food, clothing and everything else than Su Xiaowu.”
"What more could you want? When Ruanruan was one year old, you deliberately abandoned her, almost causing our family to be ruined. Now that Ruanruan has finally returned, you're even more ruthless, actually hiring someone to kill her!"
"Big brother, I didn't, I really didn't!" Su Miao said, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. Her small appearance was incredibly heartbreaking to see.
"Big brother, I had a nightmare. I dreamt that I accidentally pushed Ruan Ruan down the stairs. Ruan Ruan bled a lot, and I was so scared."
"I don't know what happened in my dream, but I dragged Ruanruan to the garden and then went back to my room. But as soon as I got back to my room, I heard Ruanruan calling me. She was floating, and she had so much blood. I was so scared..."
...
Su Yiqing's cold gaze remained fixed on Su Miao's small face.
Many fragments flashed through my mind.
At that time, Ruan Ruan had just gone missing, her parents had just passed away, the atmosphere at home was very oppressive, and her three younger brothers had left home one after another.
Only he, Su Miao, and Su Xiaowu remained in the house. Su Xiaowu's mischievous antics only made him angry.
Every time he returned exhausted from fighting those wolves who wanted to devour the Su family alive, only Su Miao would cling to him, sing for him, dance for him, and sweetly call him "Big Brother." The little child did her best to make him happy.
After Su Miao finished telling her story about her dream, she kept crying, tears streaming down her face like broken beads, but she bit her lip so hard that she didn't make a sound.
She knew Su Yiqing very well, so she didn't miss the slightest softening of Su Yiqing's cold expression.
With tears streaming down her face, she said in a soft, childlike voice, "Big brother, it was my fault for not watching Ruanruan properly today. When she went to chase the puppy, I couldn't catch up with her, and that's why she got lost again. I was so scared, so scared..."
Su Yiqing frowned deeply.
Su Miao gripped Su Yiqing's sleeve tightly. "Big brother, I know that in the few days since Ruan Ruan came back, I did a lot of wrong things because I was jealous of her."
"I already know I was wrong."
"When Ruanruan comes back this time, I will definitely take good care of her. Big brother, I beg you, please don't send me away. I grew up in the Su family since I was little, and my only relatives are my older and younger brothers, I..."
...
She cried so hard that her little body was sobbing.
Although Su Miao usually bossed around the servants at home, Li Chang had watched her grow up, no matter what.
Looking at her pitiful appearance, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her and said, "Young Master..."
"Uncle Li, have someone clean up the small building next door tomorrow and move Miaomiao's things there." Before Li Chang could finish speaking, Su Yiqing, who had been silent for a while, spoke up.
Su Miao's heart skipped a beat, and she rushed over to hug Su Yiqing's arm tightly. "Big brother, I don't want to. I don't want to live in the small building alone. I want to stay with my brothers."
"Big brother, when Ruan Ruan comes back, I will never fight with her again. I will give her everything: all the rooms on the third floor, my little dresses, my jewelry..."
"Big brother, I only need this bedroom. Can you let me stay here?"
...
Su Yiqing remained unmoved. The dream and the words Su Miao spoke in her nightmare tonight were like a thorn deeply embedded in his heart.
Although he was willing to trust Su Miao, he dared not risk Su Ruanruan's safety, not even a little bit.
"Uncle Li, go back and rest." Su Yiqing's face returned to its usual coldness, revealing neither joy nor anger. "Do as I say tomorrow."
"Big brother..." Su Miao cried out in anguish, and just as she was about to say something more, she heard Su Ruanruan's voice coming from behind her.
"Uncle Li, what are you all doing here?" Su Ruanruan rubbed her sleepy eyes as she came out of the room. "Why is Sister Miaomiao crying?"
