The food was served quickly, and Beichen started to eat without a word. Su Nuo was still standing by the side. She hadn't eaten for half a day, but her master hadn't let her eat. Even if she had starved to death, she couldn't eat.

Beichen stared at the huge table full of dishes, he only moved a few pieces, and stopped eating. Then he glanced up at Su Nuo. "Come here."

Su Nuo obediently walked over, and Bei Chen Han pulled her into his embrace. Su Nuo did not have much strength to begin with, so she fell into his embrace.

Bei Chen Han grabbed Su Nuo's chin, his sharp eyes staring straight at Su Nuo, as though he had never seen Su Nuo before. It was as though he wanted to see through Su Nuo completely.

Su Nuo instinctively wanted to avoid such a gaze. In the end, she was still affected by the gentle and intoxicating dream. That knife-like gaze made her even more powerless than before.

Bei Chen Han did not give her the chance to dodge at all. He turned her face to him and said with a cold smile: "Su Nuo."

Just one sound caused Su Nuo to shudder.

The smile on Beichen's face turned colder and colder: "You are really good, you actually dared to leave with that damned Duke of Beichen."

Su Nuo wanted to shake her head in denial, but Bei Chen Han's hands were like steel, making her unable to move.

"You actually dared to leave this king's side with that damned Duke of Beichen." As he spoke, the smile on his face became even more shocking.

Su Nuo could only feel Bei Chen Han sinking down. Fear, sorrow, she tried her best to shake her head.

Bei Chen Han sneered: "Isn't it? Then what's the big deal if you tell This King? "

Su Nuo was still shaking her head, her eyes wide open like a frightened and innocent lamb.

"Speak." Bei Chenghan's voice suddenly rose.

Su Nuo was frightened out of her wits, but she still replied with a trembling voice, "No, no, Xiao'er, it's just that - I don't want Third Marquis to die."

Bei Chen Han's hand tightened, and squeezed Su Nuo even harder: "You don't want him to die, you said you don't want him to die!" When Bei Chen Han heard this, it was as though his entire body had been stabbed.

"Third Marquis, you are a good person." Su Nuo was a good person who owed him too much.

Bei Chen Han's entire being was cold and furious at this moment. For a moment, Su Nuo thought that her master was sick again, but the truth was that he wasn't. Bei Chen Han only took that moment to suppress his emotions and then looked at Su Nuo with a cold smile.

Su Nuo felt her entire face go numb from the pain. She could no longer say what she was feeling. She could only look at this kind of master with endless sorrow.

"He's a good person." Bei Chen Han repeated sarcastically: "If the Duke of Bei Chen is a good person, then this king is a bad person who will commit all sorts of crimes."

Such a tone full of grief made Su Nuo freeze, not knowing what to say. Bei Chen Han was like a child abandoned by others.

Wounded all over.

"Su Nuo, you are really good, saying that you are This King's female slave, but you are wholeheartedly thinking about that damnable Duke of Beichen. What is so good about him that requires so many of you to think about him." Su Nuo, you are very good, saying that you are This King's female slave, but you are wholeheartedly thinking about that damnable Duke of Northern Chen. Bei Chen Han clenched his fists tightly, and a cracking sound could be heard.

Su Nuo just looked at the person in front of her. Ever since Housekeeper Zhou had told her about her master's past, she had always known that her master's past was painful, and had seen it when her master was sick. It was just that when her master was awake and hearing her master speak like this, it was the first time.

His heart ached because such a master, such a master who had been covered with wounds since he was a child, had always been the master who had silently endured until now.

Because she had always loved her master.

Because he was the master! That was why she'd always felt that pang in her heart.

"Why? All of you have to think about him. I've done so much, why can't you see it? Why can't you see it?"

Clear tears fell down, and Su Nuo tried to embrace the person in front of her with great difficulty. It was as if she just wanted to protect the person in front of her due to the aftereffects of that dream that she didn't wake up. She didn't want him to feel sad or in pain, because no matter what happened, regardless of when or where, she would always be there.

But the hug seemed too far away for Su Nuo to touch, and the hand stretched in vain in the air.

Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, he threw Su Nuo onto the ground, then squatted in front of Su Nuo. His expression was completely normal: "But it doesn't matter, because one day, I will snatch everything from him, and you, Su Nuo, will only be this king's female slave for life." As he spoke, he stood up with a sneer.

Su Nuo was speechless. She could only watch as Beichen left the room, out of her sight. He walked further and further away, until even the door was closed by the wind, completely blocking her sight.

Why? Why did it have to be like this? Su Nuo didn't understand why it had to be so unfair from the start. If everything had been fair at the start, then it definitely wouldn't be like this now.

Why was that person so biased at that time, and how could he not like his master?

Only, Su Nuo didn't know that in such a palace, everything was originally like this. There were those who were favored by others, but there were also those who were ignored.

Everything was extremely natural.

However, no matter how unfair Su Nuo was, it couldn't be changed in the slightest. The reality was still the same.

In the morning, Su Nuo borrowed the inn's kitchen to make Bei Chen Han's favorite breakfast. However, after waiting outside for a long time, Bei Chen Han didn't call her in.

A waiter walked over and saw Su Nuo standing there. He asked, "Miss Su, what are you standing here for?"

Su Nuo was still not very good at talking to people. She lowered her head and said, "Wait for Master to get up."

When the waiter heard this, his small eyes instantly widened. "Miss Su, your master has long since left."

Upon hearing this, Su Nuo's face changed. The waiter knew that Su Nuo had misunderstood him, so he quickly added, "It's not leaving, it's just leaving."

Su Nuo looked straight at the waiter. "How did you know?" She was so nervous that even her usual gentleness was gone.

"Because when I was going out, I saw your master walk into the magistrate court in front. It seemed like he had something he needed to do." After a pause, the waiter inched closer to Su Nuo and said in a mysterious tone, "Miss Su, isn't your master a very powerful person?"

When Su Nuo heard that her master had gone to the magistrate court, she knew that her master had gone to deal with the flood and had not abandoned her. Her nervous and frightened heart finally relaxed.

The waiter looked at Su Nuo's back and curled his lips. He seemed to be dissatisfied with Su Nuo's lack of reply, but he did not say anything.

Sure enough, Bei Chen Han came back at noon, and Su Nuo, who was standing at the entrance waiting for him, saw it. Her originally uneasy expression turned into joy the moment she saw Bei Chen Han, but towards a gentle person like her, she did not have much expression on her face.

Bei Chen Han's mood seemed to be a lot better than last night, when he saw Su Nuo he said, "Na'er couldn't have been waiting for me here, right?"

Su Nuo did not expect Bei Chen Han to ask such a question, and did not reply for a while.

Suddenly, everything returned to a certain day. That day, she wore a big red wedding dress and replied that she was waiting for him to come back.

Her master, however, was no longer angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "How could I forget? Norrie always likes to wait for me to come back to sleep, but every time I come back, she has already fallen asleep."

At that time, the teasing on his master's face was very obvious, as if all of this was just yesterday.

Bei Chen Han walked over with a smile on his face: "What, did he fall asleep just like that while waiting?"

Su Nuo was so surprised that her eyes widened. She thought of the same thing as her master.

Beichen took Su Nuo's hand, "Alright, it's so cold outside, we should go in now."

Su Nuo was dumbfounded. She knew that the reason her master was so happy right now must be because he was going to the county magistrate court. It must be because everything went smoothly or something!

No matter how many years it had been, she still couldn't adapt to this sudden change!

Su Nuo was pulled into the inn in a daze. When the waiter saw that Bei Chen Han had returned, he ran over eagerly, "Young Master, do you want to have lunch?"

Bei Chen Han answered: "It's the same as yesterday." She pulled him into the same room.

However, the inn's speed was not that fast. Bei Chen Han and his gang had already started serving the dishes not long after they had sat down upstairs.

Bei Chen Han carried Su Nuo in his arms in a good mood and said: "Xiao'er probably hasn't eaten since yesterday." As he spoke, he grabbed some food and sent it into Su Nuo's mouth.

Su Nuo half-heartedly ate the food. Indeed, she hadn't eaten since yesterday.

Bei Chen Han did not really eat much, but kept feeding Su Nuo. It seemed that feeding Su Nuo like this was a very fun thing to do.

Su Nuo reacted and obediently ate it.

She knew that in the past, whenever she met her master in a good mood, he would hug her like this, feed her, or tease her.

Just like a pet, sharing its owner's good mood.

After feeding half of the food to Su Nuo's stomach, Bei Chen Han was no longer interested and started to stop. He then carried Su Nuo and looked at the street below.

It was as if he had never spoken the words he had spoken last night.

Su Nuo had not spoken a word from beginning to end. She knew that her master only needed pets that were always quiet and docile. She didn't need any words.

People were coming and going on the streets below, but most of them were dressed in plain clothes. It was not hard to see that these people had just been persecuted by the disaster.

Beichen's gaze looked towards the lakeside in the distance. That was a corner where they passed through two streets, there stood a half yellow tree, it should be an old tree.

Suddenly, Bei Chen Han's pupils contracted, and he saw a lady with long hair that reached her waist walking out from behind the big tree. Because of the distance of hesitation, the lady's face was a little blurry, and it was extremely difficult to recognize her appearance.

"Yan'er." Bei Chen Han said softly, as though he was afraid of scaring something.
