A fake was a fake, but what could she do? It was all too naked.

Actually, she had already sensed it from the beginning, but she had already felt it when her master brought her back from the Third Marquis. Not only did her master not punish her, he treated her so well, which was not normal in the first place, but she wanted to pretend that she didn't know, wanted to deceive herself, and wanted to explain all of this in a better light.

Su Nuo smiled and smiled gently at Bei Chen Han.

Yes, from the beginning to the end, she had been the one to deceive herself, but even so, it was still good. At least when Housekeeper Zhou told her everything, she could still pretend that she did not know.

Because she really didn't know why, did she?

The smile on Su Nuo's face became even more gentle, and she gently touched her face to Bei Chen Han's, softly calling out, "Han."

Bei Chen Han regained his senses after hearing Su Nuo's shout. He looked at Su Nuo and tightened his hands before kissing her.

This kiss was gentle, but it was also deep, as if it carried an unknown fear.

Su Nuo smiled as she closed her eyes, smiling as she wrapped her arms around Bei Chen Han's neck.

The kiss was undoubtedly long and lingering. When the two of them separated, Bei Chen Han's eyes were filled with lust, his big palm had already dug into Su Nuo's clothes. Su Nuo reached out her arms to hug him, "Han, you haven't taught me to write your name yet."

When Su Nuo said this, her face was partially turned upwards with a smile on her face. Even her eyes were filled with a gentle smile.

Actually, if Housekeeper Zhou had not said those words to her earlier, Su Nuo definitely would not have said those words to Bei Chen Han. Actually, if Housekeeper Zhou had not said those words to her earlier, Su Nuo would not have said those words to Bei Chen Han.

Moreover, Su Nuo didn't know why, but she felt that as long as her master made a request, he would definitely agree to it.

As expected, Beichen agreed, though one hand was still in her clothes.

Bei Chen Han held Su Nuo's hand with one hand and wrote three words on the white paper. With the other hand, he floated above Su Nuo's body and then, with a bewitching voice, he asked, "Have you learned Xiao'er?"

Su Nuo shook her head, and leaned back even closer to Bei Chen Han, causing his Qi to envelop her.

Beichen froze, and his hands inside his clothes became even more impudent. "Xiao'er, are you trying to tease me like this?"

This time, Su Nuo was stunned. Although she really wanted to cherish the time she spent with her master, she didn't have that intention.

Bei Chen Han laughed softly beside her ear, his hot breath spraying over her ears, causing her to feel a sense of numbness.

"Han, I want to learn some of your names." Su Nuo took a deep breath and said.

"Alright." Bei Chen Han dotingly said as his other hand came out from his clothes, hugging Su Nuo even tighter into his embrace.

Su Nuo stared intently at the words on the paper, as Bei Chen Han held her hand and taught her how to write.

The lazy golden rays of the autumn sun scattered in from the outside, falling upon the two people's bodies. It attracted a faint layer of light, hazy and indistinct, and became very unreal.

However, such a beautiful self-deception was slowly coming to an end. Even if Su Nuo wanted to confuse him, it would only become more and more impossible.

On the second day, when Su Nuo was still being embraced by Bei Chen Han, Housekeeper Zhou came in and reported, "My prince, it has been a long time since you have gone to court."

Bei Chenhan looked at him with a cold gaze, "You don't need to be a servant to manage this king's affairs."

But the facts proved that Housekeeper Zhou's warning was correct, because in the afternoon, someone from the palace came to deliver the decree saying that if Beichen didn't attend the court, he would have to follow the rules.

At the time of the decree, Su Nuo was in Bei Chen Han's arms, so she heard everything clearly. This time, it was impossible for her to pretend that she couldn't see, after all, no matter what, it couldn't compare to letting her master be fine.

Su Nuo raised her head and saw that Housekeeper Zhou was giving her a look. Su Nuo knew what Housekeeper Zhou meant and paused for a moment. Still, Su Nuo nodded slightly.

Back in his room, Su Nuo said, "Han, you should go to the court."

"Not going." Beichen did not even think about rejecting him.

Su Nuo looked at Bei Chen Han's face and unconsciously caressed his face: "Han, you have to go to the imperial court. Otherwise — — If royal father blames you, it won't be good."

Beichen snorted coldly, "I won't fall for their trap, I won't let them have the chance to take Xiao'er away from me."

Su Nuo shook her head. "That won't happen. They won't be able to take him away. Xiao'er will always stay by your side." Su Nuo thought of something and quickly said, "Han, let me accompany you to the Imperial Palace. This way, you don't have to worry."

"No." Bei Chenghan once again rejected him flatly. "I can't let Xiao'er go to such a dangerous place. There are bad people everywhere. They want to snatch Xiao'er away from me. They definitely can't go."

Su Nuo listened to Bei Chen Han's every word, seeing the nervousness and fear on his face, but most of it was firm, deep hatred.

At this moment, she could no longer deceive herself. Her master was abnormal, very abnormal.

Su Nuo gently hugged Bei Chen Han, as though she was coaxing a child with a blanket, and said: "Han, I won't go anywhere, I won't go anywhere, I'll just wait here for Han to come back, make Han's favorite food, and then when Han comes back, we'll eat together, okay?"

There was a trace of confusion in Beichen's eyes.

Su Nuo continued, "Han, I'm right here." As she said that, she grabbed Bei Chenghan's hand and placed it on her chest, "Han, did you hear me? I'm here, as long as I come back from the cold, I will definitely be able to see me."

"Really?" Bei Chen Han asked uncertainly.

She did not know what kind of truth Steward Zhou would tell her, but no matter what the truth was, the owner of the house must have made her feel sorry for him, and made her want to give up her entire life to protect him.

But the only thing that made her feel good was that her master had finally agreed.

After Bei Chen Han went to court, Su Nuo wanted to prepare some food for him to eat when he came back, but when he walked out the door, Little Qian rushed over, "Fu Jin, Little Qian can finally see you again. Little Qian has been looking for Fu Jin for the past few days, but your highness unexpectedly —" Saying this, Little Qian pouted unhappily.

Su Nuo smiled helplessly. This child was getting bolder and bolder, to actually express dissatisfaction with her master.

Little Qian's face fell, like a child who had made a mistake. "Fu Jin, Little Qian originally meant to leave it for you, but …" She blushed as she said this. "It's been too long, it's broken."

Su Nuo continued to smile. "It's alright." Pausing, Su Nuo thought of Xue Rou and asked, "Little Qian, where's Xue Rou?" She hadn't seen Xue Rou these past few days!

"She is already dead." The moment the words left his mouth, Little Qian realized that he had said the wrong thing and secretly looked at Su Nuo's expression. Sure enough, Su Nuo's expression wasn't very good.

"What did you just say?" Su Nuo asked again.

Little Qian pouted and whispered, "She committed suicide."

Su Nuo didn't react for a while and just looked straight at Qian. Xiao Qian curled her lips again. Although she hadn't personally seen this girl called Xue Rou do anything bad to her family's Fu Jin, but she was sure that this person had never been good to her family's Fu Jin. But why was her Fu Jin still so good to this person?

Su Nuo's face was pale as sheet. "Why?"

"Huh?" For a moment, Little Qian didn't react.

"Why did Xue Rou commit suicide?"

Little Qian finally understood and said, "We don't know the specifics, but it seems that because of her disfigurement, she couldn't bear committing suicide."

Indeed, Xue Rou's death, to the Duke's Mansion, was a strange matter. Many of the details in it were a kind of mystery, and no one pursued the matter further, so naturally no one would investigate it. In other words, it would follow the appearance and form a theory, and furthermore, because Xue Rou was seen by someone before her death due to her disfiguring craziness, this theory was even more firm.

Su Nuo didn't say anything else and just walked straight to the west wing. Little Qian quickly followed behind her. Looking at Fu Jin's expression, he felt very regretful, but there was nothing he could do about it now.

The west wing was still the same as before she left. However, when Su Nuo walked back into the room that Xue Rou used to live in, the feeling of the owner passing away became very clear.

The originally exquisite house was now empty. The things that had been smashed down by Xue Rou were not replaced by someone due to Housekeeper Zhou's distraction.

Su Nuo lowered her head and immediately saw the faint trace of blood on the ground. It could be seen that the ground had been scraped by the servant's painstaking effort. However, this trace had not been removed.

It was all fake. Everything was fine before she left, her master was fine, Xue Rou was fine, but she was back now, her master was abnormal, and Xue Rou was already dead.

Tears welled in her eyes. She suddenly felt that the heavens were cruel to her. There were very few people in this world who were good to her. She could count them with just a few fingers. But now, the heavens had retracted one.

Su Nuo slowly crouched down and touched the bloodstain with her finger. Her tears fell on it.

What she could not understand was why Xue Rou did this. She was clearly still alive, why did she want to end her own life? Even a lowly person like her was still alive, why did Xue Rou, who was much better than her, do this?

By the side, Little Qian was completely panicked. He wanted to help Su Nuo, but Su Nuo did not respond. He became even more anxious. "Fu Jin, don't cry. Don't cry anymore." Pity this kid doesn't know how to talk, that's all he said back and forth.

"So you are here." Suddenly, a female voice came from outside the door. It was the voice of a servant girl.
