This person’s tracking skills were not high and did not notice the shadow projected on the ground.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the shadow on the ground and stopped in her tracks.

The other party seemed to be alerted and flashed back behind the wall. When the other party came to the alley again, Su Xiaoxiao was long gone.

“Where is she?”

“Here.”

Little Demon Su’s voice sounded above her head. The other party looked up and exclaimed in shock.

Su Xiaoxiao jumped down and landed steadily in front of the other party. She said indifferently, “Guo Lingxi, why are you following me?”

That’s right, this person was none other than Princess Lingxi, who had always been at odds with Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao had seen too many evil people and basically didn’t take it to heart.

Guo Lingxi was different. Her disgust for Su Xiaoxiao increased day by day. Now, she wished she could skin Su Xiaoxiao alive.

She tightened her grip on the whip in her hand, and a twisted anger appeared on her beautiful face. “Su Daya! You killed my mother and brother. I want you to pay with your life!”

With that, she grabbed the whip and called out to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand and easily grabbed the end of her whip.

A strange touch came from her palm. Only then did Su Xiaoxiao see that Guo Lingxi was holding a whip with a blade.

Fortunately, she was vigilant and wore silver silk gloves in advance.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was holding her whip unscathed, a trace of surprise flashed across Guo Lingxi’s eyes. “You…”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Guo Lingxi, there’re no grudges between us, but we’re not friends. In short, my tolerance for you is very low. You’d better not court death in front of me again!”

She was so angry that she stomped her feet.

“You still have the cheek to criticize me? Don’t you know what you’ve done?

You killed my brother! You killed my mother! I want to take revenge on you!”

Su Xiaoxiao sneered. “Guo Lingxi, I used to think that you were a little unruly and willful, but I didn’t expect you to be so stupid.”

Guo Lingxi exploded. “Su Daya!”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Your brother is the Division Leader of the White Lotus Society. He deserved to die. Not to mention that he didn’t die at my hands, even if he did, you’re not qualified to seek revenge on me! As for your mother’s death, why don’t you ask your good grandfather what he did?”

Guo Lingxi gritted her teeth. “You… you’re shameless! You’re despicable! You actually want to sow discord between me and my grandfather!”

“That’s all I have to say. Believe it or not.”

With Su Xiaoxiao’s current status, she really disdained playing with Guo Lingxi. It was Guo Lingxi who was prejudiced against her. She had to blame Su Xiaoxiao for all the nonsense.

She was kind-hearted and pointed out a way for Guo Lingxi. As for whether Guo Lingxi was sensible or not, it was none of her business.

She didn’t care.

Su Xiaoxiao pulled Guo Lingxi’s whip over and threw it into a water bucket at the side. She left without looking back.

“Su Daya!”

“If you cause trouble again, you’ll be the one thrown in.”

Guo Lingxi looked at Su Xiaoxiao’s cold back as she left. She was angry and anxious. She squatted by the roadside and cried. “Brother… Mother…” A carriage stopped in front of her.

The curtain was lifted, revealing Prime Minister Guo’s dignified face.

He recognized Guo Lingxi and said coldly, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying on the streets? Come up!”

Guo Lingxi sobbed and got into the carriage.

Prime Minister Guo said coldly, “Didn’t I warn you not to leave the residence for the next few days? There’s already enough going on in the capital recently. Stop causing trouble for me!”

On the surface, Emperor Jing Xuan did not vent his anger on Prime Minister Guo regarding Guo Huan and the White Lotus Society, but several civil servants under Prime Minister Guo were reprimanded.

Serving a king was like serving a tiger. The anger of the emperor had always been difficult to resist.

Guo Lingxi looked at Prime Minister Guo with tears in her eyes. “Grandpa… Did you kill Mother?”

Prime Minister Guo’s eyes flashed. “What nonsense are you talking about!”

Guo Lingxi cried, “Big Brother is from the White Lotus Society… Do you suspect that Mother is the same… so you killed Mother to silence her…”

Prime Minister Guo flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, “Shut up! Stop listening to those rumors outside! From today onwards, you’re grounded at home and not allowed to go anywhere!”

Guo Lingxi cried.

Prime Minister Guo’s cold gaze landed on his granddaughter’s appearance, which was almost comparable to Princess Hui An’s. A thought-provoking glint flashed across his eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao went to Ling Yun’s residence in Pear Blossom Lane.

From afar, she could hear Xiaohu howling and swaying.

Ling Yun sat on the futon with a numb expression and watched the three little fellows flip his room upside down.

“Young Master, Physician Su is here,” Deng An said.

Ever since he found out that Su Xiaoxiao’s surname was Su and did not take her husband’s, Deng An changed his name to Physician Su.

When they heard that their mother had arrived, the three little ones immediately stopped causing trouble and ran out.

Ling Yun felt like he was alive again.

Wei Xiyue did not come over today. She accompanied Madam Li back to her maiden home.

Su Xiaoxiao touched the three little fellows’ heads. “Were you obedient today?”

Dahu said, “Dahu is very obedient!”

Erhu said, “Erhu is also obedient!”

Xiaohu shook his head. “Xiaohu is the most obedient!”

Dahu and Erhu muttered, “You’re the most disobedient!”

Su Xiaoxiao was amused and said to the three little fellows, “You guys play in the courtyard first. I’ll talk to your master for a while.”

The three of them obediently went to the courtyard to tear down the house.

When Ling Yun heard that his three rascal disciples were still not leaving, his expression darkened. However, when he saw the two boxes of snacks Su Xiaoxiao brought in, his expression softened.

“Have a seat,” he said.

Su Xiaoxiao took off her shoes and rested her white footwear before entering. She sat down on the futon opposite him.

She placed the two boxes of crab roe pastries on the table and began to size him up.

Uh… had she given too many snacks recently?

Master Ling Yun’s cheeks were fat.

He was so handsome that no one dared to recognize him.

“Is something the matter?” Ling Yun asked.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “You moved to Pear Blossom Lane three years ago. Who did you rent the house from?”

Ling Yun looked at her in confusion. “A bailiff of the government office. What’s wrong?”

Su Xiaoxiao paused. “Do you know that there’s a secret passage in this house?”

Ling Yun was stunned.

“In the woodshed.’

Su Xiaoxiao brought Ling Yun to the woodshed in his backyard. According to Wei Ting’s description, she found the mechanism in the corner and opened the secret passage hidden underground.

Looking at the dark passageway, Ling Yun was confused.

Su Xiaoxiao understood. “Looks like you don’t know.”

Ling Yun frowned. “How did you know that there was a secret passage in my house?”

Su Xiaoxiao said honestly, “I investigated.”

Ling Yun’s face darkened. Where was the basic trust between people?

Su Xiaoxiao told him about the White Lotus Society.

Ling Yun’s face darkened. “Don’t tell me you suspect that I’m related to the

White Lotus Society?” Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “If I suspected you, I wouldn’t have told you.” “Hmph, that’s more like it!”

“Mother!” Xiaohu covered his butt and limped over.. He complained aggrievedly, “Dahu hit me!”
