In the early spring, the earth began to recover, and new green light began to emerge from the branches. It was still quite a nice sight. Su Nuo looked outside, turned around and said to Lord Beichen, "Viscount, it's already spring. The scenery outside is really good, you will definitely enjoy it."

The Duke of Beichen smiled, "As long as little Nuo likes it, I like it."

Su Nuo walked to the Duke's side, squatted beside his feet, and pulled his hand, "Sir, let's go climb the mountain. It's been a while since we went climb the mountain together."

"Alright." The Duke didn't even hesitate.

When Situ Ai saw Su Nuo helping Duke Bei Chen out, he glared at him unhappily. Then, with a smile, he asked the Duke of Bei Chen, "Big brother Jue, where are you going?"

"I'll climb the mountain with little Nino." The Duke of Beichen answered.

Situ Ai's expression changed and he quickly replied, "No! No! Big Brother Jue, your goddess can't climb the mountain! It's very dangerous!" After that, she glared at Su Nuo. Just as she was about to reprimand Su Nuo, Yan Qingcheng pulled her over. Yan Qingcheng looked at Su Nuo, then said to Lord Beichen, "The Third Marquis and Miss Su need to be careful. If there is a need, I can go with you."

Su Nuo smiled, "No need, I will take good care of Viscount."

Yan Qingcheng nodded her head and left while supporting Duke Bei. "Big sister Yan, what are you doing? Big brother Jue can't see you at all, so how can you agree to let him climb the mountain with that damnable Su Nuo? What if something happens to us?"

Yan Qingcheng let out a sigh and shook her head, "Xiao Ai, don't worry. Su Nuo will definitely take good care of the prince. Taking care of the prince is her reason for her to continue living on."

Seeing that she still didn't understand, Yan Qingcheng said, "Xiao Ai, don't look for trouble with Su Nuo in the future. In fact, she's also suffering much more than us."

Situ Ai didn't expect Yan Qingcheng to say this to her. She thought Yan Qingcheng would definitely stand on her side. At least, they all liked the Duke of Bei Chen and wanted him to be fine, but in Situ Ai's eyes, Su Nuo was completely on his side. However, Situ Ai knew a bit about Su Nuo, at least the most important things he knew.

In fact, after spending such a long time together, she hadn't discovered just how evil this Su Nuo was. On the contrary, she always wore a smile on her face, no matter who she saw, and no one could tell if she was smiling or not. Most of the time, even Situ Ai believed that this smile was sincere.

However, Situ Ai wasn't that stupid. She could clearly see that the way Su Nuo looked at her brother was completely different from the way she looked at others.

Thinking of this, Situ Ai didn't say anything. Yan Qingcheng glanced at the two figures that were slowly leaving and then turned around. No one could see the sadness in her eyes! That's right, it had been a very long time, and she no longer hated Su Nuo the way she had the first time they met. It was very obvious why she always occupied the eyes and emotions of the Duke of Bei Chen, and during this long journey, she could clearly see that no one else could compare to Su Nuo in terms of pain and despair. However, she still loved her Third Marquis, and loved him very much!

But now, she finally understood why even though the Third Marquis didn't pay her back, even if Su Nuo didn't know that he was the one who gave so much for her, he still stayed by her side as he always had.

So now she could also restrain all her emotions and just stay by her beloved's side, just like that.

At the foot of the mountain. Su Nuo supported the Duke of Northern Chen up, the wind in their ears also slowly blowing, just like a leisurely zither string, gently fluctuating.

Suddenly. Duke Bei Chen stopped his steps, and Su Nuo asked: "Sir, are you tired?"

The Duke of Northern Chen shook his head, "I was the one who carried Xiao Nuo up here all those years ago." He did not continue. Su Nuo suddenly gripped the Duke of Northern Chen's hand tightly.

Yes, this mountain was the mountain that Lord Beichen brought Su Nuo to, and it was also the mountain where they met that old couple.

"No, my lord, as long as you are here." Su Nuo firmly held the Duke of Northern Chen's hand and looked down with a slight smile. All of these things immediately became small, and were all quietly attached to their feet.

Back then, she had also turned back the same way!

Lord Beichen took hold of Su Nuo's hand and said, "Ok."

By the time they reached the top of the mountain, it was already noon. Lord Beichen asked, "From here, can you see them?"

Su Nuo knew that he was talking about the old couple. Looking down from here, no one could be seen. In the end, she said, "Let's go take a look." Then, he dragged Lord Beichen towards the old house. Su Nuo walked into the house. The room was not locked, and the moment she entered, she smelled of dust. Su Nuo looked around. It didn't look like someone living here.

"Aren't they there?" The Duke of Beichen also smelled the scent of old age.

Su Nuo replied, "Let's go to the back and take a look." As he said that, he led Lord Bei Chen to the back of the house. What entered their eyes was a somewhat rough tombstone with two names engraved on it. It was even specially carved with the words' inseparable '.

Su Nuo smiled at the monolith, and then approached Duke Bei Chen, "They are gone, someone with good intentions will bury them together."

The Duke of Beichen was stunned for a moment before he replied in a low voice.

Yan Qingcheng was a bit worried. Even though it was so late, she still hadn't returned. Just as she was about to go look for them, she saw Su Nuo and Duke Bei Chen holding tightly to each other's hands as they slowly walked back.

Seeing them return, Situ Ai seemed to have an instinct, seeing Su Nuo he wanted to glare at her, but halfway through his glare he unnaturally stopped. Su Nuo just smiled at her as always, and helped Duke Bei Chen enter the room, saying to him, "Viscount, it's getting late, it's time to rest."

"Alright." The Duke of Beichen nodded.

In the morning, Su Nuo was woken up by a quiet knock on the door. The door was opened and a delicate and pretty scholar was standing outside. He wore a light green robe and was somewhat surprised to see Su Nuo. Before he could finish, the scholar's face suddenly turned red. Su Nuo did not say anything, nor was she in a hurry. She only quietly waited for him to finish.

"May I ask if there is someone called Situ Ai here?" The scholar simply closed his eyes and spoke everything out in one breath.

Su Nuo nodded. "She's still sleeping. She won't wake up until later."

When the scholar heard this, he let out a heavy breath and became nervous again. "Then, then can I wait here?"

"Sure." Su Nuo answered with a smile, paused for a moment and then said, "If you don't mind, I can make some tea for Young Master." Although it was early spring, it was still early spring. The weather was still very cold. The scholar's fair face was already red. With a single glance, it was obvious that he had been waiting outside for who knows how long.

The scholar quickly shook his head. "No need to trouble yourself. No need to trouble yourself."

Su Nuo did not force him. She smiled and said, "Ok." He then left to get the medicine for Duke Beichen.

When Su Nuo returned, she saw Situ Ai looking at the scholar with disdain, "What are you, a poor scholar, doing here?"

When the scholar saw Situ Ai, he was so shy that his face turned completely red. He stammered, "I-I want to … .I want to be responsible for this young lady."

As soon as Situ Ai heard him say this, his face turned completely black. "You, what nonsense are you spouting?" Then, he saw Su Nuo walking over with the medicine in her hands. He glared at Su Nuo and said, "What are you looking at? Just keep an eye on yourself."

Su Nuo declined to comment. With her usual smile, she brought the medicine into the room.

The voice from outside could still be heard clearly. It was the scholar's voice. "No, little one. This little one must take responsibility for this young lady. Holy Day — —"

Before the scholar could finish, he was cut off by Situ Ai. "What the hell are you talking about? This princess doesn't believe this. Also, this princess is telling you, if a poor scholar like you still dares to come here in the future, you'll be in for it." After which, he slammed the door shut and left.

Su Nuo finished feeding the North Morning Potion and took the empty bowl out. When she met Situ Ai, who was waiting for her, she stopped and waited for Situ Ai to speak to her. Sure enough, Situ Ai said, "Su Nuo, I'm telling you, you're not allowed to speak ill of me in front of big brother Jue. I have nothing to do with that poor scholar, so if you dare to speak carelessly, I'll definitely teach you a lesson."

"Alright." Su Nuo agreed without even thinking and smiled at her. The moment Situ Ai was stunned, Su Nuo casually brushed past her. Situ Ai returned to his senses and looked at Su Nuo's back. He didn't know what to say at all. Suddenly, he thought of the words that Yan Qingcheng had said to him that day. Actually, it was very true!

Even though Situ Ai didn't want to admit it.

In the early spring, the sky started to drizzle and it was drizzling. There was no intention of stopping, and the room suddenly became a lot more humid.

Lord Bei Chen frowned. Su Nuo noticed and came over to ask, "Viscount, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Duke Bei Chen shook his head, "No, I'm fine." Su Nuo looked at him without saying anything, and for the first time, the room fell into a long and heavy silence.

After a long time, the Duke of Bei Chen finally opened his mouth, "My eyes are hurting a bit."

Su Nuo stretched out her hand to hold Northern Chen's, tightly, and Northern Chen said, "I won't lie to you anymore."

"Alright." Su Nuo arrived.

After Situ Ai showed it to Duke Beichen, his face grew heavy, but he still said in a relaxed tone, "Big brother, it's alright. This is a normal occurrence. It will be better in a few days."

The Duke of Beichen didn't budge at all, he only responded with a sound of agreement.

As Yan Qingcheng and Situ Ai left the room, Yan Qingcheng asked, "Xiao Ai, how is the Third Marquis? Is it … very serious?"

"Big brother Jue's eyes are dying. If you can, you need to replace them with new ones."

Yan Qingcheng furrowed her brows, "Xiao Ai, do you mean that the Third Marquis can use someone else's eyeball to restore his sight?"

Situ Ai nodded his head and replied, "It's not that hard to get an eyeball. There's basically no problem."

"Then why didn't you say that before?" Yan Qingcheng was happy.

"Because it must be the eyes of a living person. At that time, I suggested that brother Jue had rejected me. I was not allowed to say more." If she could, she would use her own eyes to change into those of her brother.

Yan Qingcheng no longer spoke. Her Third Marquis had always had his own principles. No matter what, he wouldn't be allowed to touch upon them unless it was related to Su Nuo! Yan Qingcheng's eyes lit up. That's right, when it came to Su Nuo, all principles would be broken.

"Do it." Yan Qingcheng suddenly asked.
