The Duke of Beichen immediately saw Su Nuo. When he saw Su Nuo, his eyebrows almost broke into a smile. He then left the crowd and walked towards Su Nuo, Yan Qingcheng quietly following behind him.

Seeing Duke Bei Chen coming over, Bei Chen Han's expression was warm, just like all his older brothers when they saw their younger brothers. They just held onto Su Nuo's hand and used a lot of force, the force causing Su Nuo's hand to ache, but Su Nuo did not say anything, nor did she show any of it, only allowing Bei Chen Han to use his strength.

Lord Bei Chen did not immediately look at Su Nuo, but smiled lazily and said to Bei Chen Han: "I thought you, an iceberg, would not show up." He then looked behind Bei Chenhan and winked at Xue Rou, "So this little beauty has also come. What a blessing."

At this moment, a voice from outside called out, "The emperor has arrived." Immediately, everyone inside kneeled down.

Bei Zhen Yan walked in, he was not dressed formally, and said to the people on the ground: "Get up." The group of people all rose to their feet. Bei Chenyan glanced at him, turned to Bei Chenhan and said, "Han'er, come over here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

"Yes." Bei Chen Han replied. Before he left, he glanced at Su Nuo and frowned. Then, he followed Bei Chen Yan inside.

"Little Nono." Once Beichen Han left, the Beichang Jue moved closer to Su Nuo like a child offering a treasure, "Xiao Nuo, I've prepared something fun for you, you'll definitely like it." As he spoke, he pulled Su Nuo along and was about to leave.

Su Nuo didn't want her master to not be able to find her when he returned, so she said, "I can't leave here. Master won't be able to find me when he returns." After a pause, he said, "Third Marquis, happy birthday, this is for you." As he spoke, he handed the little jade pendant over to the Duke of Bei Chen.

The Duke of Beichen was stunned for a moment, and even Yan Qingcheng was stunned. Duke Bei Chen held the little jade pendant and looked at Su Nuo, "Is this given to me by little Xiao Nuo?"

Su Nuo nodded. She had never known that this person would be so happy when he received her gift, but she suddenly felt that it was worth it, even if it was behind her master's back.

Xue Rou had clearly seen this scene from a short distance away.

The Duke of Beichen immediately hung that little jade pendant on his waist, and said to Su Nuo, "Little Nuo, I will definitely cherish this pendant. This is the first gift that little Nuo has given me." After saying that, the peach blossom eyes intentionally hooked towards Su Nuo, and a dubious feeling spread out from within.

Su Nuo wanted to laugh. This person really wanted to eat her tofu all the time, but she could relax in this public. She didn't believe that this person would really order tofu for her and give up on any face.

Suddenly, the Duke of Beichen leaned close to Su Nuo and whispered, "Little Nuo, your birthday is also happy. Like I said, my birthday is little Nuo's birthday."

Upon hearing these words, Su Nuo's tears almost fell. She had thought that this person would forget about her one day, but when this person returned three years later, she still remembered him so clearly.

This person!

"Xiao Nuo, when the evening comes, I will bring the gift to your little wooden house. I promise, Xiao Nuo will definitely like it." As the Duke of Beichen spoke, his face was full of pride, as if he was a child waiting to be praised.

Su Nuo just smiled and didn't say anything.

When Bei Chen Han walked out from the room, he saw Su Nuo chatting with the Duke of Northern Chen, a pretty smile on his slightly tilted face. With just that one look, Beichen's entire face turned cold. He clenched his hands into fists and quickly walked over.

Before Su Nuo could react, her hand was already covered by a strong force. Just that moment, her whole hand became numb and she couldn't feel anything anymore.

"What are you all talking about? Why is Na'er laughing so happily?" Bei Chen Han pulled Su Nuo into his embrace with a smile on his face, but his every word was filled with coldness.

Xue Rou smiled and slowly walked over.

The Duke of Bei Chen lazily embraced Yan Qingcheng who was by his side, looking as unrestrained as ever, "Oh, it's nothing much, just that the weather today is so good."

"Is that so?" Bei Chen Han retorted, but in that instant, the strength in his hand was increased by several times, causing Su Nuo to wonder if his hand was broken.

"Of course." Lord Beichen's smile was very pretty, just like a spring flower falling from the sky, but he could not find his way at all.

Bei Chen Han did not say anything, but just as he was about to pull Su Nuo away, Xue Rou suddenly said in a neither light nor heavy manner: "Third Marquis, this little pendant of yours is truly exquisite."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on the small pendant.

Su Nuo only felt her heart pounding. She was so scared that she didn't know what to do.

Bei Chenghan only glanced at him once, and that look was even more terrifying than that of an Asura from hell. The gentleness on his face disappeared at this moment, leaving nothing behind, and the cold air around him could be felt even by those far away.

Duke Bei Chen picked up Xiao Yu's pendant and laughed: "This person is a gift from our family, he can't be a gift to a beauty like you."

Xue Rou said, "Third Marquis, you don't need to worry. Xue Rou is just speaking."

At this moment, Bei Chen Han pulled Su Nuo and walked away without looking back. The Duke of Beichen had a clear view of the situation from behind. He couldn't help but clench the small jade pendant in his hands tightly. He then walked in the opposite direction with Yan Qingcheng following him.

"Your highness, you're not going to take a look." Yan Qingcheng asked.

Lord Beichen laughed, "If I go, Little Nuo will suffer even more." He paused for a moment before saying, "Go and check on that woman from before."

Yan Qingcheng agreed.

In a secluded corner, Bei Chen Han threw Su Nuo against the wall. His eyes were like that of a crazed wild beast, and the anger that he had been suppressing burst out in an instant. He looked at Su Nuo and spat out word by word, "Su Nuo, you're so awesome. You actually dared to lie to me."

Su Nuo was truly frightened. Her face was pale beyond words. Her entire body was like a leaf hanging on a branch as she shivered in the cold wind.

"This —" Bei Chenghan took out the cold little jade pendant from his sleeve. "You actually dare to say that you're giving it to me? You actually dare to say that it's for me?" His right hand firmly held onto the little jade pendant, and very quickly, the white powder seeped out from the gaps of his fingers and fell onto the ground, leaving nothing behind.

Su Nuo opened her eyes wide and looked at the powder that was disappearing bit by bit from between Beichen's fingers. She felt as if her heart was in pain.

Suddenly, Bei Chen Han raised his hand and threw the remaining powder in his hand onto Su Nuo's face, "You sure have a lot of guts."

The white powder landed on Su Nuo's face. Her white face was covered by a thin layer of powder and some of it was scattered into her eyes. However, she could not move or move. She could only let her eyes feel extremely uncomfortable.

Bei Chen Han grabbed her slender neck, and forcefully pulled her up: "Su Nuo, not only are you laughing and talking to that damned Duke Bei Chen, you are also giving him a present. Who do you think you are, I'll tell you this: you are just a lowly slave girl, you will only be by my side for the rest of your life, wanting to let that damned Duke Bei Chen come and save you, wanting him to marry you. I'm telling you, stop daydreaming, this life is impossible, absolutely impossible."

Suddenly, there was a wave of shouting from outside. It was Bei Chenghan.

"Second Prince, the Emperor said that he is preparing to go hunting. Second Prince — —" Bei Chen Han heard the shout from the corner of his room, but he still stared at Su Nuo with his dark eyes.

Then, he threw Su Nuo onto the ground. "Su Nuo, This King said that I won't let you off so easily this time. When we get back, you should be prepared to pay the price for your actions."

Su Nuo collapsed to the ground, unable to utter a single word. She just wanted to send a gift to the Third Marquis and express her gratitude. No matter what, she never would have thought that things would turn out like this. If she had known, she definitely wouldn't have done that again, provoking her master to such an extent.

Bei Chen Han's face that was filled with anger had already returned to its normal expressionless state. He looked down at Su Nuo condescendingly, "Wait a while, you have to behave for me, otherwise —" Bei Chen harrumphed coldly. He did not say anymore and turned around to leave.

Su Nuo quickly stood up and followed Bei Chen Han. Right now, she had no idea what to do, so she could only follow closely. Following her master's instructions, she did everything perfectly to avoid provoking her master.

The moment Su Nuo went out, she saw that everyone was already prepared. Su Nuo originally wanted to stand at the side, but before she could step in, Bei Chen Yan had already walked over.

Su Nuo nodded.

"That's great. Today, you should join Han'er's group and let him teach you properly." Beichen's smile was very kind, more so than any other time, it was hard to guard against.

Su Nuo sneaked a peek at Bei Chen Han, only to see Bei Chen Han saying with a gentle expression: "I will definitely teach Xiao'er well." Su Nuo could not tell what she was feeling, and she could not see what her master was thinking. This was a kind of fear, she would rather look at her master's angry face and let her know that her master was angry than to act like this.

Bei Chen Yan nodded his head in satisfaction and walked away.

Under the dim golden sunlight, he seemed to be extremely lazy, as if he could not exert any strength at all. He had already changed his clothes, and was dressed in a hunting outfit, with a silver armor on his chest, giving him a heroic air. However, the moment he laid eyes on Yan Qingcheng, he hugged her intimately, as if there was no one else in the large world.

Su Nuo did not care to look at him, she was only focused on following Bei Chen Han. As for Duke Bei Chen, ever since Su Nuo came back, he did not even glance at him once, as if Su Nuo did not exist. As for Duke Bei Chen, ever since Su Nuo came back, he did not even glance at him, as if Su Nuo did not exist, as if he did not exist at all.
