“The assassin” tore off the black cloth covering their face, revealing an old, thin face. It was Uncle Liang, who glared at Su Liang.

“You must Know wnere tne young master IS!” Uncle Llang’s eyes were tilled with determination.

Su Liang stared at him, and after a moment of silence, she spoke again, “Since you came to find me tonight, there are some things I want to talk to you about. It’s not convenient here, come to my house later.”

Uncle Liang froze, then grew wary.

At a glance, Su Liang could tell what he was thinking. She rode past him and said, “Didn’t you say that I, as the Martial Arts Champion, am conceited? Are you afraid that I’ll harm you?”

Uncle Liang frowned, and when he turned around, Su Liang had already vanished at the corner of the alley.

Uncle Liang snorted coldly and soon disappeared as well.

When Su Liang reached the entrance to her mansion, she was about to dismount and open the door, but someone jumped down from the wall. “Miss Su is back!”

It was Qi Jun. He didn’t know where Su Liang had gone, so he had waited here.

“Thank you for your hard work. You can go back and rest now. Come over again tomorrow.” As soon as Su Liang finished speaking, Qi Jun had already opened the main door. She rode her horse straight into the mansion.

Qi Jun closed the door from inside and said to Su Liang, “I have moved all my bedding here and will be staying in the courtyard closest to the Yuanming Pavilion. Is that alright?”

From a distance, Su Liang replied, “As you wish.”

When Qi Jun led Su Liang’s horse away to feed it, Uncle Liang arrived.

Su Liang didn’t invite him into the Yuanming Pavilion, but instead, sat in the pavilion across the lake, with an unobstructed view ensuring no one could eavesdrop on their conversation.

When Qi Jun returned from feeding the horse, he saw from a distance that Su Liang was sitting in the pavilion with someone. He immediately turned around, pretending not to have seen anything, and went to the kitchen next to the Yuanming Pavilion to boil some water.

It was rumored that the late “Ning Jing” had a master protecting him, and that it was due to his concern for Su Liang; he had sent a master to protect her during her time in Xuanbei City, which ultimately led to his own demise.

Xing Yusheng believed such rumors to be unreliable, and so did Qi Jun. However, the matter of Su Liang having mysterious friends did not surprise Qi Jun.

The night breeze was cool.

An embroidery chessboard was carved on the stone table, an idle creation of Gu Ling, but the inscription was illegible.

Uncle Liang glanced at it before quickly turning his attention back to Su Liang, starting off with an unfriendly tone, “What do you want to say? There’s no need to beat around the bush! ”

Su Liang countered, “What do you really want?”

“I just want to make sure the young master is fine! Otherwise, I can’t be at ease!” Uncle Liang huffed lightly.

Su Liang nodded, “Alright, I believe you genuinely care about him. As you think you know him better than I do, you should be very clear about his abilities. Do you think anything can happen to him?”

Uncle Liang’s face stiffened, “Then why hasn’t he shown himself yet?” “Maybe he went to the south for a vacation,” Su Liang said.

“Don’t talk nonsense! The matter of clearing his name was at the young master’s request. How could he ignore it?” Uncle Liang said coldly.

“What’s the difference between him appearing tonight and a year later?” Su Liang asked.

Uncle Liang frowned and said nothing.

“The alliance between Qian and Liang countries will make Princess Yaoguang the crown princess of Qian Country. Do you think the emperor will revoke the pardon he granted to King Yue’s grandson, Gu Ling, without any reason?” Su Liang asked coldly.

Without hesitation, Uncle Liang blurted out, “Of course not!”

“That is to say, whether Gu Ling appears tonight or a year later makes no difference to him. If he appears a year later, he will have an extra year of freedom to go wherever he pleases. However, getting King Yue to plead on his behalf is not an opportunity that comes by easily. It requires the right timing, and the strongest relationship between Qian and Liang countries in many years. What I’m talking about is now.” Su Liang scoffed. In a way, she played a part in ensuring peace in Liang Country instead of reigniting the war.

Uncle Liang’s expression finally changed, “You mean, Young Master asked me to deal with King Yue’s matter, but he didn’t plan to reveal his identity after it’s settled?”

Su Liang held her forehead, “Is that so hard to understand? Didn’t you say you know him better than me? Do you think he really wants to come back to the capital city and live alone in the Marquis Chang Xin Mansion, under the watchful eye of the royal family? How is that good for him?”

Uncle Liang frowned deeply, “Then why did the young master let me…”

Su Liang took a deep breath, holding back the desire to scold Uncle Liang, “There’s a difference between not wanting to come back and not being able to come back! Now it’s all fine, isn’t it? He can enjoy himself as long as he wants, and whenever he wants to come back, he can!”

“But why would the young master want to come back here?” Uncle Liang was still dwelling on the issue.

Su Liang said impatiently, “What if he wants to get married and have a child, and live a normal life without hiding?”

Uncle Liang froze for a moment before his eyes lit up, “I see! Maybe he fell in love with a girl and plans to settle their marriage before coming back?”

Su Liang nodded, “Your thinking is not wrong. However, before his last departure, what you mentioned hadn’t happened.”

Uncle Liang suddenly fell silent, staring straight at Su Liang.

Su Liang felt a bit uneasy under his gaze, “Uncle Liang, why are you staring at

Uncle Liang said in a ghostly voice, “Could it be that the girl Young Master has fallen for is you?”

Su Liang chuckled, “We’re just good friends; you’re overthinking it.” As for Gu Ling, if he really fancied anyone, he would have confessed without hesitation within a minute.

About her relationship with Gu Ling, Su Liang had seriously thought it through. It was not that she was slow to react and couldn’t feel anything. Although they really had a good relationship, in Su Liang’s view, it was just because their way of getting along had always been about blending habits from two completely different worlds. From the perspective of the people here, their relationship might be considered close, but from the perspective of Su Liang’s previous life, they were like siblings and close friends. Because they lived together, there were many instances where they took care of each other in their daily lives. Gu Ling had always been earnestly learning things from Su Liang’s previous life, including her thoughts. The way he interacted with Su Liang completely favored her perspective.

Uncle Liang still looked somewhat doubtful, “Are you really telling the truth? Don’t deceive me! My young master is so good to you. I can believe that he’s just pitying you and doesn’t love you, but you didn’t fall for my young master either? I can’t believe it!”

Su Liang: …As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No, loyal servants see perfection? That’s not quite right either. Anyway, Uncle Liang just believes that Gu Ling is unparalleled and unmatched…

Regarding this, Su Liang agreed, “Actually, that’s true. In the beginning, I wanted to be with him, but he rejected me.”

Uncle Liang snorted lightly, “I thought so!”

Su Liang: …Tonight, she wanted to “settle” this little trouble called Uncle Liang.

As long as he was happy, that was enough. After all, Su Liang had told Duanmu

Chen, Xing Yusheng, and the Lin family of her experience of chasing after

someone and getting rejected; she wasn’t embarrassed and could speak about it openly.

Su Liang took a deep breath and looked at Uncle Liang solemnly, “It seems our misunderstanding has been cleared up. Now it’s time for me to talk about the real matter. Since Gu Ling was willing to bring you along with him, I think he trusts your loyalty. I can see that you truly wish him well. But you need to understand one thing: what he wants to do, and what he doesn’t want to do, cannot coincide with your intentions. Your loyalty and goodwill are more than just doing what he hopes you’ll do; what’s more important is not to do anything he dislikes! He can live well without you. Don’t force your ideas onto him.”

Upon hearing this, Uncle Liang’s face darkened, “A yellow-haired girl actually dares to teach me a lesson? Who do you think you are?”

Su Liang shrugged, “I’m just me.”

Uncle Liang glared at her and said fiercely, “Since you claim to be friends with the young master, help me explain to him that I was wrong and shouldn’t have talked to King Yue about his business without his consent!”

Su Liang held her forehead, “Can you not ask me for things with an attitude that says you will rip me apart if I don’t agree?”

“Will you help or not, one word!” Uncle Liang coldly snorted.

Su Liang nodded, “I’ll help. But I don’t know when he’ll appear. Uncle Liang is straightforward, so don’t get involved with King Yue anymore; Gu Ling will only dislike you more. For Uncle Liang, I have only one piece of advice, which is what Gu Ling told you when he asked you to leave Su Village last year. Don’t bother with him anymore; you have your children and grandchildren, so go back to your home and enjoy your twilight years.”

Uncle Liang’s face fell at her words, and he looked a little disheartened, “But

Young Master is all alone, lonely…”

Su Liang said seriously, “That’s not true. Don’t forget, he has his only friend in the eyes of the world, Nian Jincheng. They should be together now.” Uncle Liang froze, “Nian Jincheng… I really forgot about him.”

“If you have any more questions, just ask, and I’ll listen,” Su Liang said. freёwebnoѵel.com

“From whom did you learn your martial arts?” Uncle Liang looked at Su Liang and asked.

Su Liang scoffed, “Can you guess?”

Uncle Liang suddenly realized, “My young master taught you?! Turning you into a Martial Arts Champion in half a year? That’s amazing! So aren’t you my young master’s disciple? Don’t be ungrateful!”

Su Liang nodded, “Yes, yes, it’s just as you said.”

“Ah, it’s all my fault in the end, making the young master angry and not wanting to meet again.” Uncle Liang sighed, “You have a clear head, you’re right, the young master is so capable, he doesn’t need me, I’ve only caused him trouble. I’ll listen to him and leave for Liang Country tonight.”

“You’re not going to report our conversation to King Yue, are you?” Su Liang asked.

Uncle Liang shook his head, “I really didn’t know the young master hated King Yue so much before, or else I wouldn’t have done that kind of thing. Now that I know, why would I go to him? I didn’t come with King Yue this time! I don’t have to explain anything to him!”

“That’s good. Slow down, Uncle. I won’t see you off.” Su Liang nodded.

Uncle Liang got up, and then his figure disappeared.

But when Su Liang was about to return, he came running back, looking at her and saying, “Now you are quite a respected person, if my family’s young master really comes back here someday and runs into any trouble, you have to help him!

Su Liang solemnly promised, “I will.”

Uncle Liang finally left for good.

Su Liang shook her head, walked around the lake, and returned to Yuanming Pavilion. Her actions tonight were not intended to repair Uncle Liang’s relationship with Gu Ling; they should have parted ways long ago, and there was no need for them to continue together. But it’s better to resolve enmities than to create them; Uncle Liang is not very smart but has no ill intentions towards Gu Ling, and he’s easily manipulated into making irrational decisions.

For Su Liang, talking openly with Uncle Liang was also a way to solve problems. After all, there’s no irreconcilable conflict between them.

Qi Jun is a very reliable subordinate, so Su Liang doesn’t have to worry about anything in the following days. She spends most of her time reading and doesn’t go out unless necessary.

During this time, Lian Shun and Che Yun paid her another visit, but this time Su Liang didn’t personally cook for them; instead, Qi Jun bought food and drinks from the restaurant.

At the table, Lian Shun mentioned Gu Ling, “I hope the beauty Gu can return soon. ”

Che Yun then asked, “Why? Do you know Marquis Chang Xin?”

“What Marquis Chang Kin?” Lian Shun spoke casually in Su Liang’s presence, “The former Marquis Chang Xin was executed, which is very unlucky! He should have been called Beauty Gu! He’s the only man beautiful enough to make me submit!”

Su Liang smiled faintly, “Lian Ershan, are you saying that Beauty Gu is the most beautiful in the world and you’re second?”

Lian Shun made a face, winking at Su Liang, “Am I not beautiful?”

This gesture reminded Su Liang of Gu Ling’s “flower”, and she couldn’t help but laugh, “Beautiful, extremely beautiful!”

“Tsk!” Lian Shun rolled his eyes at Su Liang, “I’m the second most beautiful in the world, and you don’t even like me, so only Beauty Gu is good enough for you!”

Su Liang was still laughing, but Lian Shun said earnestly, “Actually, the two of you do seem quite compatible. It’s not easy finding a man who surpasses you in strength and wisdom. At least Beauty Gu is more beautiful than you.”

“Makes sense.” Su Liang nodded with a smile.

“Really!” Lian Shun said seriously, “I’m not joking with you. If he really comes back to the capital, it’s hard to say you won’t be captivated by him. If you fall for someone else, as a friend, I have to be a little picky, but if it’s Beauty Gu, I approve!”

“It’s not your place to approve or disapprove, is it?” Su Liang snorted.

Lian Shun chuckled, “I can be your brother! Just call me brother, and I’ll always treat you like a real sister!”

Su Liang shook her head, “You have a real sister. I don’t need to, thank you.”

Lian Shun shook his head along, “No need to thank me. My offer is always valid. Give it some thought, Su Xiaoliang.”

On the night before Situ Xie’s departure, a banquet was held in the palace, which Su Liang attended along with Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing.

At the banquet, Situ Yao showcased her superb skills on the guqin. Su Liang noticed Duanmu Chen listening with great enjoyment. It was indeed beautiful, and she too liked watching beautiful people play the guqin, pleasing both the eyes and the ears. She thought she should get a good guqin for her home so that Gu Ling could play it; he must be very proficient.

Situ Xie didn’t ask Su Liang about Gu Ling again, which surprised her. She couldn’t figure out if he really had no ulterior motives towards Gu Ling or if he was just hiding them too well. She tends to think it’s the latter.

After the banquet was over and Su Liang left the palace, she returned home under Qi Jun’s escort. Meanwhile, on the other side, Gu Ling met with Nian Jincheng.

Nian Jincheng totally didn’t expect Gu Ling would come to see him all of a sudden. He had just received the news of Gu Ling’s pardon yesterday, and he didn’t know about his own pardon yet.

“How come you are here? Where’s Su Liang?” Nian Jincheng looked over Gu Ling’s shoulder as soon as he saw him.

Gu Ling shook his head, “She is in the capital.”

“She couldn’t come to the wedding, so she sent you to bring a gift?” Nian Jincheng sighed, “Xiaoyu really wants to see Su Liang. We didn’t invite anyone else to our wedding, only hoping she could come.”

Gu Ling didn’t say anything and took out the letter Su Liang had given him for Yang Yu, handing it to Nian Jincheng.

Nian Jincheng’s expression was unfathomable as he took it, and he frowned as he read, “What is this…”

Without Gu Ling saying much, Nian Jincheng knew exactly what was going on after reading the letter addressed to Yang Yu.

“What do you think?” Gu Ling asked.

Nian Jincheng smiled bitterly, “I just want to get married to Xiaoyu on time.” Gu Ling nodded, “If you give her the letter, she will refuse you.”

Nian Jincheng: This brother of his, always good at stabbing him in the heart

However, Nian Jincheng merely expressed regret at the delay of the wedding and didn’t disagree with Gu Ling and Su Liang’s opinions. Especially considering what Su Liang wrote in her letter, “When you have children in the future, you can’t let your child grow up watching their father with two faces.”

“You can rest here while I go find Xiaoyu.” Nian Jincheng put the letter back into the envelope and tucked it into his sleeve.

“I’m hungry,” Gu Ling said.

Nian Jincheng walked out, “I’m not Su Liang, I won’t take care of your meals.”

Although they had already decided on their marriage for life, it was still the first time Nian Jincheng had come to Yang Yu’s place late at night.

Yang Yu only thought it was a bit unexpected and assumed there must be something important.

Upon hearing that Nian Jincheng had received a letter from someone sent by Su Liang and that he had already read it, Yang Yu’s expression brightened, and she hurriedly took it and opened the letter.

Soon, Yang Yu’s eyebrows furrowed, and her gaze grew serious.

After Yang Yu finished reading the letter, Nian Jincheng cautiously asked her, “If you don’t want to postpone the wedding, we can figure out another way …”

But Yang Yu suddenly laughed, “Of course we should postpone it! Su Liang is right. Let’s just do what she says!”

Nian Jincheng sighed deeply, “Xiaoyu, are you not the least bit regretful about postponing the wedding?”

Seeing Nian Jincheng’s slightly hurt expression, Yang Yu smiled and held his arm, “I’m waiting to be the wife of a General, with a rich dowry.”

Nian Jincheng’s expression became serious, “Good, I want you to have a grand wedding with me too.”

When Nian Jincheng returned to his residence, he found Gu Ling eating dessert that Yang Yu had personally made for him.

Nian Jincheng said to Gu Ling, “I want to be with Xiaoyu for a few more days. There are some things here I need to arrange. Just stroll around nearby, and we can leave together later.”

Gu Ling finished the last piece of dessert, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, put on a mask, and stood up, “No rush. Goodbye.”

By the time Nian Jincheng reacted, Gu Ling had already disappeared from the room.

Nian Jincheng rubbed his forehead, “Not in a hurry? You’re clearly in a hurry..”
