"Thank you for Miss's trust, then would Miss like to come visit us? If it's the young miss, I would actually welcome you. " The man looked at Shui Long and said with a smile.

Shui Long shook his head after hearing what he said: "No need, I still need to go to another Shui store to take a look."

"Oh? So Miss already has time, I'm here to play. "I thought Miss knew I was here, so she came to see me." Suiyun joked.

When Shui Long heard this, he lightly glanced at Suiyun and said, "I am not her, you don't need to have any illusions anymore. We'll be leaving first. " With that, Shui You left.

As for Suiyun, he was hurt by Shui Yuehan's statement that he was not her.

That's right, Shui Ruo was no longer the one he loved. She left this world with his memories. From then on, there was no one in this world who loved Suiyun's woman by the name of Suiyun.

And the woman in front of him was just someone who was similar to her.

Therefore, there was no need for him to continue working hard. The Shui family? Split family? Main house? These things were completely useless in a world without her. Right now, he only had one goal, and that was to live as he wished, and then in the future, find her.

But before that, he had to help Master Shui restore everything in the Shui family. Otherwise, even if he went to see her, she wouldn't forgive him, right?

Thinking of this, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Suiyun's face.

"Miss, I don't know if it's just this servant's misconception, but this servant always feels that Young Master Yun has changed." Bing-Er said blandly while looking at Shui Ruo.

When Shui Long heard this, he laughed: "Perhaps, Suiyun is no longer like him."

"Miss, did you feel it too?" Bing'er looked happily at Shui Long, and continued, "Suiyun used to like Miss very much, but Miss would always smile and say nothing to Suiyun. Young Master Yun had changed since then. This servant thinks that Young Master Yun's heart must have been hurt by Miss Yun. Later on, when you were unable to marry anyone, you would accompany Master Yun in a very gentle manner. I don't know why, but Miss doesn't even remember these things anymore. "

Bing-Er said gloomily.

Shui Ruo heard that and stopped. She looked at Bing'er and said, "It's not that I don't remember, it's that I don't want to remember. Suyun and I, were not suitable for each other after all. If I am to be with you, I will destroy Suiyun and myself. "

"Miss used to say that in the past." Bing-Er was surprised as she looked at Shui Ruo. She didn't expect her to still think that way.

Looking at Young Master Suiyun's sorrowful expression, she felt that there was nothing bad about Miss Suiyun being with him. At least, he truly loved her.

"Enough, there are some things that should not be mentioned anymore." Shui Long didn't let Bing'er talk about Suiyun again. Bing-Er didn't continue talking either.

When the two of them arrived at Shui Clan's shop, they saw Shui Sanjin checking the accounts in the shop.

Shui Sanjin welcomed her with a long smile. When he saw her, he was overjoyed.

"Wandering, why are you here?" Shui Sanjin looked at his daughter in surprise, not expecting her to suddenly come over.

When Shui Long heard this, he gave a mysterious smile and said: "I wanted to give you a surprise."

"Girl, you're even surprised? It seems that you're clearly here to check your debts."

"You found me." Shui Ruo smiled mischievously, like a lively daughter.

When Shui Sanjin saw Shui Yuehan's actions, a kind smile appeared on his face. At the same time, he thought of the matter that he had discussed with Yun Yang earlier. Looking at the water in front of him, perhaps, there really is no difference.

But she was his daughter, there was no doubt about it. On the other hand, Suiyun, who was clearly on good terms with her in the past, was now walking further and further away. Now, he would probably never be able to return to the past.

Thinking of Shui Sanjin, he felt slightly regretful. He looked at Shui Ruo and said: "Shui Ruo, if you don't have anything else, you'd better go visit Suiyun. He recently left the western courtyard and came to your father's side. I'm afraid that the people from the western courtyard will cause trouble for him."

"He left the western courtyard?" Shui Long was astonished.

"Yeah." Shui Sanjin nodded. He was also very surprised in his heart. Who knew how shocked he was when he saw Suiyun kneeling before him? It was as though he was in a dream.

"I see, Father. I'll take good care of him. " The sound of the water was very low. After saying this, she turned around and ran away.

"Miss, Miss, please wait for me." Bing'er wanted to chase after him anxiously, but was stopped by Shui Sanjin.

"Bing-Er, you can leave later. I have something to ask you."

"Yes, master." Bing-Er wanted to leave, but because Shui Sanjin said so, she had to stay.

Shui Sanjin looked at Bing-Er and sighed, "Let me ask you, has there been anything different about her recently?"

"Different? "No, Miss is still the same, how can there be any difference." Bing-Er was confused.

Hearing Bing-Er's words, Shui Sanjin nodded in satisfaction, "If anything happens to her, you must tell me. It would be best if you could tell me immediately."

"Yes, master." Bing'er looked at Shui Sanjin. Although she did not know what he meant, she still nodded. After all, she had been adopted by the Shui family since she was young, and the master of the Shui family was without a doubt her benefactor. She was willing to do anything for her benefactor.

Even if it was betraying his own daughter.

After giving the order to Bing-Er, Shui Sanjin told Bing-Er to leave.

On the other hand, Shui Ruo immediately ran back to the shop when she heard that Cloudy Heavens had left the western courtyard.

Sure enough, Suiyun was busy.

When she saw Shui Yuehan heading back, she understood what was going on.

"Why?" When he saw Suiyun, he went straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Suiyun smiled helplessly. "Because I no longer have the faith to snatch the Shui family, so I can do whatever I want." Suiyun's tone was very casual, and when Shui Ruo heard it, his eyes flashed.

Looking at Suiyun, she pushed his way in step by step, saying, "Suiyun, it can't be that you want to be shortsighted, that's why you're doing this, right?"

Smart, too smart.

Suiyun was speechless as he stared at the water. Sure enough, nothing was hidden from her. She was much smarter than the water he liked. He could even guess at such a thing.

"Is that so? Heh! I knew it. " Shui Ruo sneered, and then suddenly slapped Suiyun. "You're a bastard!"

"Yeah, I'm a bastard." It was because he was a bastard that he killed the woman he loved.

"Since I know you are a bastard, why didn't you just redeem yourself properly? Why did you leave then? Shortcut? You think you're worthy? " Shui Long looked contemptuously at Suiyun.

Upon hearing this, Suiyun's expression changed. Looking at Shui Ruo, he said, "Sorry."

"It ended with just a word of apology. Why would I hit you?" Shui Long looked at the man with a look of disdain and said.

Suiyun did not expect Shui Long to say this, and he was stunned for a moment. He looked at Shui Long and opened his mouth, but did not know what to say.

What was the use of beating him up? Yes, he still wanted to ask.

"Suiyun, your life has never been yours, so don't act on your own accord. I'm very happy that you left the western courtyard to come to the Shui family to help my father, because that's what you should do. You finally didn't disappoint her. However, if you use this matter to atone for your sins and commit suicide, neither she nor I will forgive you. "

Shui You looked at the man, his tone cold.

In her entire life, the people she hated the most were people who had lived a light life. Back then, she had no other options. That was why she acted this way. Those who could live as they pleased would never know the importance of life. He would never know how painful it was to use a mission every day to exchange for the life of the person he loved.

He also didn't know how much pain it would be to wait for someone else to do the quest and leave him with his life.

Shui Yuehan looked at Suiyun, his heart filled with extreme disgust.

As for Suiyun, when he saw the carefree look in Shui's eyes, he felt fear in his heart. For some reason, he felt guilty.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and do whatever you have to do. Don't tell me you're waiting for me to help you? " Shui Yuehan rolled his eyes at Suiyun.

Upon hearing this, Suiyun was even more stunned. Why did it seem like he was working for her for free?

"You …" Suiyun wanted to say something, but when he saw the expectant look in Shui Long's eyes, he did not say it out loud. Instead, he went to do something. Seeing that Suiyun was doing something, Shui Ruo smiled in satisfaction. Then he left.

As Shui Sanjin and Suiyun were both in the shop, Shui Long did not continue to inspect the shop. Instead, he chose to head straight back to the crown prince's mansion to rest and drink tea.

For her, this was how she waited.

She was waiting. Waiting for the Shui family to become strong again. Waiting for the Night Emperor to finish tidying up his affairs. Waiting for the day he would leave the crown prince's mansion.

To her, these waiting were blissful. It was precisely because of these waiting that she could be so quiet and strong. Otherwise, if she was the only one, she would have already collapsed.

When Shui Ruo returned to the crown prince's mansion, for some reason, there was a layer of white hanging over it.

Looking at the white color at the door and the crying sounds in the yard, the water rushed in quickly. After that, he saw the maidservant, who had always been following by Ling'er's side, crying bitterly. At the side, the Crown Princess Shangguan Yun watched from afar, a look of pity on her face. As for whether or not it was true, that was up to him.

Beside Shangguan Yun was another lady, Xiang Wan'er. Wan'er's eyes turned red.

"This is …" "What's going on?" Shui Long stared at the scene in front of him in a daze.

Everyone was also stunned when they saw Shui Yuehan return. Then, a young maid who was crying said, "The spiritual side's wife, she hanged herself."

As soon as the maid finished speaking, she started crying again.

Hanging to death?

The water flowed on in a daze. He could never have imagined that Ling'er, who was fine a few days ago, would actually be hanged.

What … what was going on? Shui Long looked at Ling'er on the ground, who was covered with a white cloth. He walked up and lifted the white cloth. Sure enough, Ling'er's ferocious face was revealed. It looked a little scary. A few timid maidservants cried out in fear once more.

As the water continued to linger, Ling'er could only be covered up once more. She then walked up to the Crown Princess and said, "Crown Princess, you are pregnant. I don't think it is good for you to come here. Here, you should let the servants do it!"

"No, that won't do. I have to personally bury Ling'er. Even though we weren't on good terms when Ling'er was here, this consort still cares a lot about her. Now that she's gone, wouldn't it be a waste of her life if this consort wasn't here?" The child in my womb will not forgive me. "

Shangguan Yun's words were righteous, but Shui Long heard them and decided not to chase her away. Besides, she was the Crown Prince's consort. With the Crown Princess by her side, this would be for the best. Thus, with this kind of mood, Shui Ruo could only remain silent.

Shangguan Yun looked at the now dead Ling'er, the pity on her face deepened.

"It's all my fault. If I wasn't pregnant, Ling'er wouldn't have felt such despair and wouldn't have embarked on this path." Shangguan Yun's words caused Shui Long to be stunned.

She looked at Shangguan Yun and suddenly remembered. Ling'er was different from Shangguan Yun. Ling'er was a servant of the empress, and the empress would only let her stay when she was needed. If there was no need for that, then Ling'er would become the bastard.

It was a good thing for a small palace maid to be conferred the title of a secondary wife, but without the support of the empress, even if she managed to become an imperial concubine in the future, she would still become an existence despised by the people of the imperial palace.

Ling'er came from the palace, so she was well aware of this point. That was why she chose this path, right?

If that was the case, then Ling'er's death was not the fault of one person, but the fault of this group of people.

Because of these people, Ling'er was forced to die helplessly.

Because he did not want to see his miserable future, and also because he had lost the helplessness of a backer. And the culprit behind all this was without a doubt the empress of the palace.

After clarifying all these, Shui Long could not help but sigh with emotion. The Imperial Palace was merciless.

The royal family was even more so.

"Crown Princess, let's go back first. It's not good for you to stand here while Ling'er's corpse waits for the empress's order." This time, the one who spoke was the Crown Prince's wife, Wan'er.

Hearing that, Shangguan Yun nodded and the two of them left.

Shui Sheng looked at the crying maidservants and finally left.

At the same time in the palace.
