Just as she was about to take a detour through the back door, a commotion erupted ahead, followed by the rapid sound of hooves clattering. Su Peijiu instinctively turned her gaze toward the source of the noise.
She saw a man in black riding a galloping White Horse, his hair flying and his peach blossom eyes filled with emotion yet devoid of warmth, as if he had emerged straight from her memories. Su Peijiu's body stiffened completely, staring blankly as the White Horse drew closer and closer to her...
It’s him... it really is him! After two years, separated by life and death, she once again saw this heartless man, the one who caused her country to fall and her family to perish!
Qi Mo... for the more than two thousand lives of the Yan royal family that I have endured, you must pay me back—! I, Qin Ge, have crawled back from hell to collect my debt!
She stood tall and straight, and amidst the fearful gazes of the crowd, a smile crept onto her lips as she watched the White Horse pass overhead, her gaze intertwining with its rider... Qi Mo, you are safe and sound...
Qi Mo, riding on the White Horse, noticed the woman standing ahead. She seemed unwilling to move aside, but he didn’t want to rein in his horse; besides, there was no time. So he squeezed his horse's belly hard. The horse seemed to possess intelligence and understood its master’s intention, leaping over the woman’s head.
In those few seconds, Qi Mo found himself inexplicably lowering his gaze, just in time to entangle his eyes with hers beneath the horse.
She... she is actually smiling?
As the hooves hit the ground, Qi Mo pulled on the reins. Due to inertia, the horse moved forward a few steps. When he turned his head back, there was no trace of that woman in the middle of the street anymore. He frowned and withdrew his gaze: "Go!" Perhaps she was just a crazy woman with an unstable mind...
Suddenly, an extremely ugly woman emerged from the crowd. Her eyes glinted with cold light as she stared at the swiftly departing black-clad figure on the White Horse until it disappeared...
Back at the Prime Minister's Residence.
To her surprise, Su Peijiu found a green leaf on the table in the center of her room, with only one word written on it: "Song."
Her fingertips trembled as she stepped forward to pinch the green leaf in her hand. She examined it carefully, and there was no mistake! This belonged to that person; he actually knew it was her!
But since he had come, why didn’t he meet her? What was the reason for leaving a single leaf?
Su Peijiu nervously glanced around the room, but there was no one…
However, since he had given her this leaf, it meant he wouldn’t just stand by and ignore her situation. With this thought, Su Peijiu felt a bit more at ease.
In this world, she could disregard and not believe anyone, but that person, that person alone… was her last reliance.
Alright! It was finally time to start planning officially! Let’s begin the collapse of the Prime Minister's Residence from the backyard.
That night, a loud shout came from her elder sister Su Xingyan's yard. A plant of Wei Zi that her sister had carefully nurtured suddenly wilted. An hour later, they found the potion that caused the flowers to wither in the yard of her fourth sister Su Mengyun.
Thus, Su Xingyan and Su Mengyun fought fiercely in the backyard. Concubine Two Zhao Mengzhi naturally wouldn’t let her daughter suffer losses and personally took charge. This matter gradually escalated and even alarmed the reclusive Fourth Concubine Bai Shuangya. Su Xingyan intended to teach Su Mengyun a lesson, but Su Mengyun was incredibly strong and accidentally left a scar on Su Xingyan's beautiful face.
Concubine Two was furious and wanted to deal with Su Mengyun, but although Bai Shuangya was vegetarian, her status was different; she could not be compared to Zhao Mengzhi from a brothel. They could only swallow their anger.
In three days, it would be the Flower Festival; what would Su Xingyan do? It was indeed quite anticipated.
Su Peijiu sat in her own yard, basking in the sun while listening to the commotion outside the wall. A cold light flashed in her eyes.
Of course, things had reached such a point that they would not easily come to an end. When Su Chi returned from socializing outside and saw the backyard in such disarray, he became furious and scolded everyone. Looking at the once delicate Su Xingyan now resembling a swollen pig's head, he was so enraged that he wanted to slap her, but he was stopped by Su Xingyan's good mother.
