Before Su Jinruo could finish thinking, the temperature of his lips grew hotter and hotter. He was unable to concentrate.

His thoughts were in disorder.

Just as Shen Hancheng was about to make a move, a few extremely inappropriate yet very suitable voices interrupted his progress.

"Seventh Prince, Master Su, where are you, Seventh Prince, Master Su …"

"Young master, where are you …"

Someone was holding a torch, and upon seeing such a fiery scene, the smooth words suddenly came to a halt.

At the same time that that person was dumbstruck, the sisters Qing Shui followed her line of sight, and in that instant … The two of them were stunned on the spot.

The torch in his hand fell to the ground. Qing Shui's face turned pale.

And at nearly the same time, Su Jinruo withdrew from Shen Hancheng's embrace.

Not daring to look at his eyes that looked like he was about to devour everyone, Su Jinruo lowered his head, cupped his hands and said anxiously:

"This official deserves to die, for offending the Prince unintentionally, please punish me."

Shen Hancheng glanced at Su Jinruo, his gaze landing on her tender lips, which immediately darkened.

The expression in his eyes was extremely complicated, but it did not change for the sake of the eyes of the people around him.

Everyone watched in a daze at this scene, the Master Su in front of them had a humble demeanor, and bowed his head in apology.

Could it be …

That scene just now, was their most beloved, petite and powerless Master Su … Forced?

Su Jinruo had once told Lv Ruo that sometimes, people would always be defeated by their own imagination.

Actually, it wasn't just his imagination that lost. Sometimes … He had also lost to the imagination of others.

Lv Ruo's eyes... He looked at the two of them without blinking, and in the end …

She looked at Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng and instructed him expressionlessly. After she cleaned up the corpses on the ground, her expression, which had been wooden for a long time, finally started to fluctuate.

As expected, what happened last night … This caused a huge disturbance throughout the city.

Su Jinruo stood under the willow tree, quietly looking at the beautiful scene before him, rippled by the wind.

Last night, Lv Ruo asked her, what kind of death method did she want the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng to die in?

She chose to remain silent.

After a long while, he replied, "That was a plot by someone else."

In this world, there was no such thing as a coincidence.

Not only... They picked the most coincidental night, the time when they were rarely alone, the time when …

Such an unexpected moment.

There was no need to think about it. Su Jinruo could easily guess it... Who was behind this, controlling everything?

But...

Even though it started with a conspiracy, why didn't she think of rejecting the continuation of that scene?

And why, he did not … Reject the continuation of that scene, or even...

Su Jinruo lowered her gaze, and her long and curled eyelashes … He covered up the emotions that were fluctuating in his eyes.

Deep in his heart, his thoughts had long since been filled with great waves.

"Master Su …"

A woman gently stepped forward as she called out in a soft voice. Su Jinruo slowly raised his gaze and looked at the woman.

"Master Su, Father told Blue Orchid to inform sire that it's getting late, and sire should be preparing to enter the stage."

Su Jinruo looked at Qinglan quietly, he did not say anything, nor did he say anything else.

That gaze seemed to carry a sharp blade, as if it could see through the blue orchid, and directly looked at the blue orchid … His back was chilled.

After being together for so many months, she did not know that this seemingly calm and tranquil Master Su actually had such an intimidating side to him.

Qinglan lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Su Jinruo's gaze.

Her expression was a little unnatural, and her palms were covered in cold sweat.

Qinglan smiled as she tried to smooth things over. "Father, Qinglan has already sent word that Qinglan still needs to take care of some matters. I will not be accompanying my lord now. Qinglan will take her leave."

The beautiful woman was just about to bow and leave when Su Jinruo's gaze fell on her.

Her heart tensed, Qinglan looked at Su Jinruo, and immediately she did not dare make any sound.

The elegant youth had a face as calm as the night. She was unable to determine if he was happy or angry at this moment …

Su Jinruo said: "These past few days, I have to thank Miss Qinglan for her assistance to Jinruo."

So it was thanks.

Qinglan let out a light breath and said with a smile, "My lord, you are too kind. Your majesty, the two princes and many other lords have all forgotten to eat or sleep, and have done so many good things for Ling An and his people. Blue Orchids... It was just a small effort, how could I dare to claim credit for it? "

"Lady Qinglan is a good girl …" There is no doubt about that. " Su Jinruo's gaze subtly changed.

She looked at Qinglan, whose face was gradually turning red. "It's just that Miss Qinglan, you have to remember this. You shouldn't interfere in matters that you shouldn't interfere in. Sometimes, the price you have to pay is most likely your life …"

In an instant, her cheeks that had been hot a moment ago lost all of their temperature, and Qinglan's face became uncontrollably pale.

Su Jinruo walked towards Cyan Orchid.

After passing through her, Su Jinruo slightly stopped in his tracks. "Matters involving officials' grounds, even Jinruo was unable to protect himself. I think it's better if we think about it a little more. "

As soon as he finished speaking, steady footsteps sounded out once more.

There had been so many coincidences last night. One of them was the one that could have been close to her, the one that she had single-handedly made up for it.

Otherwise... Based on her and Shen Hancheng, their bland interactions in the past few months, coupled with the fact that they did not have the strength to tie up a chicken, what point did they have …

It could be seen that she was worried about Shen Hancheng, as well as her intentions of leaving to look for him …

What kind of coincidence was this? Amongst the people who came to look for her and Shen Hancheng last night, there weren't any of Shen Hancheng's bodyguards or yamen runners.

Only some... She was an extremely gossipy aunt.

She, Su Jinruo, had never been a foolish person. If she could not even see this point, then there was no need for her to even hope that she would be able to survive in the government.

With so many coincidences, it was no longer a coincidence. Instead, it was …

A deliberate plot.

The woman was the nemesis of Shen Hancheng.

A man was the most likely choice for Shen Hancheng.

You should be saying this, Ninth Prince Shen Fan …

In order to pull him off his horse, you actually have to thoroughly use an ordinary woman.

A good crown for missing sleeves...

Heh … If Shen Hancheng wasn't willing, with his personality, how could you, under such an unbearable title, change his mind? Force him?

The night was dark, and a faint fragrance wafted in the air.

In the late autumn, Ling An was extremely cold and humid at night.

His steps was neither fast nor slow as Su Jinruo slowly walked into the crowd's line of sight.

Strange... Under the illumination of the torches, they formed a circle. The people who were sitting on the ground all fell silent for a moment with tacit understanding.

Su Jinruo swept his eyes across his surroundings, the corner of his lips slightly raised, showing a smile without a trace of warmth.

Discussion... Her and Shen Hancheng's gossip?

As his gaze moved, Su Jinruo suddenly looked at the person in front of him with a smile.

The light in that person's eyes was as bright as the moon in the sky. It was extremely captivating.

Available...

In Su Jinruo's eyes, it was... Undisguised, mocking.

That person … What was he laughing at?

You overestimate yourself, or … Don't know how to appreciate favors?!

Even ordinary people would have to be polite for a banquet to be held, not to mention … A meritorious general in the government?

Ling An's county magistrate, after greeting Su Jinruo and Ninth Prince Shen Fan with a smile for a while, did not dare to offend the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng, and instead …

After each of them had a cup of wine, he let the others decide, allowing Ling An's people to interact with them.

Shen Fan had always walked the path of a close relative, at this point … Su Jinruo had to admit that he was indeed far-sighted.

Also … Compared to Shen Hancheng, he was much stronger.

Su Jinruo took a sip of the tea, his gaze fixated on the fruits on the side.

Presumably, Shen Fan had made the limelight during this practical banquet.

But...

When Su Jinruo raised his eyes and looked, most of the girls around him were young and pretty.

And beside Shen Hancheng...

However, to her surprise, there was a group of people surrounding him. Taking a glance at them, she saw that they were almost all men.

There were those who giggled, those who were cautious, and those who were unwilling to part …

Ye Zichen swept a serious glance over it. Among those young men, there was one who had used all of his strength and wanted to smash them with a ball of yellow mud … Refugee?

Su Jinruo glanced sideways, and was somewhat moved.

Compared to the Ninth Prince Shen Fan, Shen Hancheng was much more difficult to approach, adding that he was extremely wild and untamed, it was easy for others to not touch him, and gave rise to a feeling of distance.

He had originally thought that his words would be domineering and cold, and that his personality would be unpredictable. He was definitely someone that not many people would like, yet now …

If Shen Hancheng really wanted to win her heart, basically, there was no one that could resist.

Because... What he paid was not only scheming, but also true.

Shifting his gaze once again, his gaze landed on Shen Fan who was in the midst of a hundred flowers. The corner of Su Jinruo's lips slightly raised and within his smile, it was tainted with a trace of true ridicule.

Shen Fan appeared in front of everyone like a savior, everyone must be happy for him.

In addition, his temper was light and gentle, and he was easy to get close to. As a result …

No matter if it was the women who felt for him or felt for the power behind him, tonight …

He definitely wouldn't let him off so easily.

Shen Fan was wrong.

Because of the sudden event that happened last night, Su Jinruo's good relations with others in the past had suddenly decreased by quite a bit.

Naturally, if it wasn't for her admitting her mistakes with that word of hers, pushing herself to the peak of gossip and helping Shen Hancheng out, she wouldn't have …

She had been thought of as such by the crowd, but last night, when she was at a loss for words, she had no other choice.

The good thing about losing one's sleeve was indeed hard for ordinary people to accept, especially … Those Ling An girls who loved Su Jinruo.

But, in the end, there were still people who were clear-headed, who simply admired and loved Su Jinruo.

This was Ling An's custom and custom, which was worthy of celebration and reminiscence. On any meaningful day, they would gather in a circle around the night sky and happily chat with each other. Talk about heart.

Su Jinruo, Shen Fan and Shen Hancheng, they were all people with status, if it were the past … Not to mention that ordinary people did not dare to approach them, even Ling An's county magistrate did not dare to be impudent in the slightest.

However, after the incident of the flood and with Su Jinruo and the rest staying in the houses of the commoners, the peaceful citizens had long given up. They did not fear the people in the field at all.

Think of them as... He was a friend who shared hardships.
