Su Ruoxi looked at the lady in the yard and searched her memory for her identity. However, she didn’t seem to know her. Since she was in Prince’s mansion then she would be someone from Prince’s mansion. Was she one of the wives of Prince Su? But, from her appearance, it did not seem like the case. If she was his wife, she would not be wearing such ordinary clothes…
The Xi-er they were talking about should be referring to her, then Zhe-er must be her father! But, who was she? Su Ruoxi was bewildered…
“Qiao Gu, why did you buy elixir secretly again! No matter how much elixir I take, I wouldn’t recover. You might as well save the money for Ruoqing to see the physician! Ruoqing is only older than Xi-er by two years old. Xi-er cannot cultivate since birth, but Ruoqing was a prodigy when she was young. She was ruined by Ruolin and her sister and went crazy, she cannot even take care of herself now! She is so pitiful…” The old lady was tearing as she said.
“Madam, Miss Ruoqing is still young. But, your body is growing weaker day by day! All the letters we sent out have been intercepted by Second Madam. The men that we sent out have been killed by Second Madam also. There is no way that we can contact the outside world, if you do not take care of yourself, then Second Madam would have her way!” Qiao Gu said in frustration.
The lady fell silent after hearing Qiao Gu’s words. She let her tears flow down her cheeks and stared at the old house for a while. Then, she said, “I know, let’s go back!”
Su Ruoxi watched them leave and followed behind them…
Not long after, they arrived at an old yard. It was slightly better than the original owner’s yard. The moment they entered the yard, they saw a girl lying on the floor. Her white clothes were covered in blood…
“Ruoqing, Ruoqing! Qiao Gu, quick, check out what happened to Ruoqing!” The old lady shouted in panic.
“Madam, calm down. Let me help you to a chair first.” Qiao Gu helped the old lady onto a nearby chair and walked up to the girl immediately.
“Ruoqing, wake up. What happened?” Qiao Gu carried her up and placed her onto a stone table nearby. She took an elixir and placed it in her mouth.
Then, she took a towel, cleaned her face, and addressed her wounds.
After a while, the girl opened her eyes in panic. When she saw Qiao Gu, she hugged Qiao Gu and cried, “I am afraid! Sister was hitting me! Wu…”
“Ruoqing it’s okay. All is well now!” Qiao Gu patted her back and comforted her.
“How could Ruoqi and Ruolin be so cruel?! Xi-er and Ruoqing are their sisters! How could they be so heartless!” The old lady’s face turned pale as she said.
“Wuwuu, I am afraid. Qiao Gu, wuwuu…”
“It’s okay. Don’t be afraid!” Qiao Gu continued to comfort her.
Su Ruoxi was watching all of this in the dark. She saw hatred and fear flash across the so-called crazy girl’s eyes…
Su Ruoxi curled her lips. This girl was not crazy! The original owner really went crazy, however, Ruoqing was only acting crazy. She probably had no solution but to do so!
Su Ruoxi waited for a while more and left in a flash…
Heavenly Phoenix Inn
When Su Ruoxi came back, Ling Xuemo had been waiting for her for quite some time.
“Master, where have all of you been? If it wasn’t that you asked me to look for you, I would have thought that you left again!” Ling Xuemo complained when she saw Su Ruoxi come back.
“Baby Su and Su Su went to the national vault! I went to Prince Su’s mansion! Xuemo, tell me about Prince Su’s mansion!” Su Ruoxi said suddenly.
“Before this, you asked me to investigate Su Ruomeng, so we have only been looking for her. There are some deep secrets of Prince Su’s mansion that we did not investigate. But, we know the basic situation! Prince Su, Su Yunqi, have three wives…” Ling Xuemo told her everything she knew about Prince Su’s mansion.
“So, the lady I saw tonight was Princess Shen Fei! Xuemo, send men to The Best Manor and send them information on how Shen Fei is doing in Prince’s mansion! Also, tomorrow I will be bringing Baby Su back to Prince Su’s mansion…” Su Ruoxi said, after thinking about it.
“Okay, is Su Su going to follow you? Or do I need to send someone else to follow you?” Ling Xuemo asked.
“Ask Mo Lian and Mo Ye to follow me as my guard and handmaiden. Ask them to come tomorrow morning. I have something else for Su Su to do!” Said Su Ruoxi.
“Okay. The two of them will be overjoyed when they know! Master, let me be your handmaiden too! Anyways, the business at the Pavilion of the Assassins is not great!” Ling Xuemo asked in anticipation.
“You shall stay here! When Baby and Su Su come back, they will bring trouble back with them. Tomorrow, you will be busy settling their troubles!” Su Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Ling Xuemo.
“Ahhh, Master are you sure?! Baby Su is so obedient! Su Su wouldn’t be discovered so easily!” Ling Xuemo was puzzled.
“That is because you don’t know Baby well enough!” Su Ruoxi said with a faint smile.
She knew her daughter best, this was the first time Baby Su was out. She was still a child after all and curiosity was a child’s second nature! Her instincts told her that Baby Su and Su Su’s trip to the palace would cause an uproar…
Ling Xuemo wanted to say something, then she saw Su Su walking in with Baby Su in her arms.
“Mother, Aunty Mo, I took many treasures!” Baby Su exclaimed in excitement upon entering.
“Come, let Aunty Mo see what treasures you took.” Ling Xuemo carried Baby Su over from Su Su.
“Aunty Mo, Aunty Su and I found many treasures! Look…” Then she poured out a pile of things from her ring.
The things filled the table and it showed no signs of slowing down.
“Baby Su, that’s enough! Did you guys empty the national vault?” Su Ruoxi asked with a bad hunch when she saw Baby Su’s excited face.
“Yep! Aunty Su said that the imperial family was rich and they had other vaults! So, I took all the treasures inside!” Baby Su explained.
The inter-spatial ring Mother gave was spacious. Even if she took all the treasures, the inter-spatial ring was not filled! If it wasn’t that an elder discovered them, they would have lingered around for a little longer…
“Were you guys caught?” Su Ruoxi saw the hole in Su Su’s clothes and frowned.
“Yeah, we were caught by an old man! He has a great capability, and it was so frustrating!” Su Su answered angrily.
