The Duke of Beichen was baffled. "Not yet, little Nuo."

Su Nuo's eyes were filled with fear. "It's good that you're here. If you go past anyone else, they'll see you." If her master found out that she came back with this person, he might get angry.

"Stop the car." The Duke of Beichen spoke to the coachman outside, and then turned around to look at Su Nuo, "Little Nuo." As he said this, he reached out his hand to hug her.

Su Nuo pushed him away and said while holding back her anger, "Thank you, Third Marquis, for sending me back." As he spoke, he got off the car without looking back.

The Duke of Beichen smiled at the empty carriage, and leaned against it, "Return to the Residence." Hearing this, the coachman swiftly turned around and left.

The moment he saw the manor, Su Nuo lowered her head out of habit and quickly walked in. It had been so long since she came back that she didn't know if her master was angry or not.

Bang. The sudden collision interrupted Su Nuo's train of thoughts. Su Nuo was about to get up from the ground, but Xue Rou ran over in panic. "Sister, are you alright? It's all Xue Rou's fault. She didn't even look at the road when she was walking and she knocked sister down."

Su Nuo was stunned and did not know how to react. [He treated her like that before, but now …]

Xue Rou helped Su Nuo up. When she saw the wound on Su Nuo's face, she exclaimed, "Sister, what happened to your face?"

Su Nuo shook her head, indicating that she was fine. No matter what, she didn't want to have anything to do with other people, especially with the girl that her master doted on.

"No, if I don't treat this wound properly, it will leave a mark." As he spoke, he grabbed Su Nuo's hand and was about to head to the west wing.

Su Nuo stopped walking and tried to explain to her, "It doesn't matter, I've already applied the medicine."

Xue Rou's beautiful face fell. "Elder sister, are you holding a grudge against me for treating you like that last time? So you don't want to be related to me, right?"

When he suddenly brought up that matter, Su Nuo paused for a moment before hurriedly waving her hand. "I don't think that way. I just … just have a lot of things to do."

"I knew it, I knew Sister hated me, indeed, it was my fault at that time, but I understand now, Sister, I really know that I was wrong. If Sister is not willing to forgive me, then I will kneel down and forgive you." As he spoke, he was about to kneel down.

Su Nuo was frightened and quickly pulled Xue Rou back. "I-I've already forgiven you."

"Really?"

Su Nuo nodded.

Xue Rou smiled. "Then I'll apply the medicine for Big Sister."

Su Nuo wanted to refuse, but she opened her mouth and allowed Xue Rou to lead her into the west wing. The soft touch on her face lessened the pain.

Su Nuo peeked at Xue Rou and was even more sure that this person was really good-looking. Especially those eyes, they were exactly the same as elder sister's.

"Alright." Xue Rou put down the ointment in her hand.

Su Nuo smiled at her. She didn't know why this person would suddenly treat her so well, but no matter what, she still wanted to thank him.

"Thank you." After all, there are very few people in this world who would do such a thing.

After Xue Rou sent Su Nuo off with a smile, her beautiful eyes were filled with malice.

At night.

Su Nuo carried the hot water in, and even with her head lowered, she could still see Bei Chen Han standing there, his face still cold. Su Nuo knew that her master was still silently thinking about her sister. She quietly poured the hot water into the wooden bucket, and then poured the cold water into the bucket. Just as she was about to put down the wooden bucket to test the water's temperature, Bei Chen Han suddenly hugged her from behind and kissed her wantonly.

The small wooden bucket fell to the ground with a thud. Su Nuo's body stiffened, and then she stopped moving.

She knew, master needed to vent, she knew.

Bei Chen Han pressed her against the wall and kissed her insolently. His hands had already ripped apart her clothes, making hissing sounds.

At this moment, his heart was filled with a bitter taste. Su Nuo could not help but look at Bei Chen Han, wanting to reach out to ease the pain on her body. She could not bear it, not even a little bit, to let her master suffer any pain, if she could, in exchange for all her happiness and all her master's pain.

The door to the room was not completely closed, leaving some cracks behind. The cold wind was brought in from the outside, and Lord Bei Chen who was hidden in the darkness stood there. As his gaze fell in, the pure white dress fell from Bei Chen Han's hands onto the ground, revealing Su Nuo's fair skin. If one looked carefully, they would see that there were still some mottled wounds on it.

Lord Beichen smiled, looking up at the moonlight in the sky, his eyes that were filled with flowing light seemed to have the spots of the coming years, immersing his 18 years of life in it.

The night wind blew again, and his blue robes fluttered in the wind. Duke Bei Chen turned around and left.

Su Nuo's hand still reached out uncontrollably. When her fingertip lightly touched that determined face, it was fiercely slapped away with a "pa" sound.
