at night.

Liu Rumei had been napping in the study all day. When she saw that it was getting late and the guards at the door had not left yet, she had no choice but to give up.

She stood up, straightened her pleated dress, took out an inconspicuous book from the corner of the study, and walked out of the study pretending to be excited: "I found it, you can go back."

Unexpectedly, the guard at the door of the study did not leave, but followed Liu Rumei: "Master told us that if our aunt is found, we must always protect her closely to prevent the gangster from attacking again."

Liu Rumei looked impatient: "I'm going back to the yard, you don't have to follow me."

The guards were indifferent and continued to follow Liu Rumei.

She wished she could knock these guards unconscious, but she could only think about it, and in the end she had no choice but to accept: "Second Miss is not feeling well today. I'll go to her yard to visit her head office."

"You are free to go wherever Aunt Liu goes, we are only responsible for following her."

Liu Rumei turned around, rolled her eyes, and walked towards Su Ruoxi's yard.

She knocked on the door of Su Ruoxi's room, and the latter opened the door excitedly: "Mother!"

Liu Rumei immediately signaled her with her eyes. After Su Ruoxi caught it, she pretended to be calm and smiled: "Come in."

Just when Liu Rumei walked into her room and was about to close the door, the guard put one foot against the crack of the door and forced the door open with one hand. He said forcefully: "Master said, Aunt Liu cannot be allowed to leave our sight."

"You!" Su Ruoxi didn't know where the tough attitude of these guards came from. She just felt that her mother was now the person with real power in the Su family. They were so rude.

"It's okay, just keep the door open," Liu Rumei hurriedly grabbed her daughter and acted as a peacemaker between the two parties, "You can stay outside here."

Immediately, she pulled Su Ruoxi into the room.

Su Ruoxi felt a cold feeling in the palm of her hand. She lowered her head and saw that it was the key to the study.

She took the opportunity to sit down with Liu Rumei and pointed to the secret book on the table with her eyes. Liu Rumei blocked the guards' sight with her body and whispered: "They are following me. You can take the key and put it back yourself."

"it is good."

Liu Rumei chatted with her for a few more words and then went back.

Ugly time.

Su Ruoxi observed the surrounding environment, made sure no one was around, put on black clothes, and walked to Su Qingcang's study with the secret book.

She carefully took out the key, entered the study and went straight to the bookcase. The moment she was about to put the book on it, the dark study suddenly became bright.

"what!"

Su Ruoxi thought it was haunted and collapsed on the ground in fear. She turned around and found Su Qingcang and Su Qingcheng standing at the door.

"Dad...I..." Su Ruoxi's mind went blank, and she could not think of any reason to explain why she would appear here.

Su Qingcang had a gloomy face. When Su Qingcheng told him this method, it was to let out the news and expose the real person who stole the secret book.

Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Su Ruoxi.

"Why are you here?" Su Qingcang said sharply.

Su Ruoxi lowered her head and bit her lower lip: "I...I think my mother is having a hard time finding books, so I'll take her place instead."

Su Qingcang snorted coldly and roared: "I said during the day that only your mother would be allowed in. Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"

At this time, Su Qingcheng waved to the courtyard, and several guards following Liu Rumei came forward.

"Master, just now Aunt Liu told us that we have found it."

Su Qingcang held back her anger and said, "Bring Aunt Liu here."

Liu Rumei was still sleepy-eyed when she was dragged over by several guards. When she saw this scene, she suddenly woke up and knelt down in front of Su Qingcang and kowtowed without saying a word.

"Master, if Xi is still young and she is obsessed with things for a while, please forgive her once."

Su Ruoxi on the side yelled: "Mother!"

Her heart seemed to fall into an ice cellar. Before she said anything, Liu Rumei explained everything.

Liu Rumei just said a word and kowtowed, but now more and more blood was bleeding from her forehead. She looked at Su Ruoxi in confusion.

Su Ruoxi gritted her teeth, her eyes full of despair and unwillingness.

She knelt and crawled to Su Qingcang's feet: "Dad, I'm afraid mother has a nightmare and hasn't woken up yet. My daughter didn't steal the secret book. She just came here to find the secret book for her father."

This sentence hit Liu Rumei's head like a thunderbolt. What did she just say...

Su Qingcheng sneered: "Aunt Liu just admitted it for you."

"That's what mother said!"

Su Ruoxi pulled Liu Rumei's hand tremblingly: "Mother, right? You are talking nonsense, right?"

"Yes...Master, I was confused by my sleep..." Aunt Liu gave an ugly smile and wiped away the tears on her face.

Without saying a word, Su Qingcang stretched out her legs and kicked away Liu Rumei and her daughter who were holding her.

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

He was so strong that he kicked the kneeling mother and daughter to the ground, and slipped a book out of Su Ruoxi's clothes.

Su Qingcheng, with quick eyes and quick hands, ran over and picked it up: "You said you didn't steal it, then what is this?"

Su Ruoxi was completely stunned. No matter how she explained it, it was useless.

Su Qingcheng handed the secret book to Su Qingcang, who opened it and read a few pages. After confirming that it was the real secret book handed down by King Wu Mu, he closed his eyes.

He was already so disappointed in Su Ruoxi, his daughter.

"From tomorrow onwards, you can live in the abandoned yard in the backyard. No one can see you without my permission, and you can't come out either."

His tone was calm, but the calmer it was, the more it showed his disappointment in Su Ruoxi.

"Dad...it's really not me!" Su Ruoxi roared in pain.

The backyard is where the servants live. No one has lived in that abandoned yard for many years. It is full of cobwebs and dust, but people have died there!

She was usually very harsh on the servants of the Su Mansion. What was the difference between moving here this time and killing her!

Su Qingcang didn't want to pay attention to her, and turned around to leave, but Liu Rumei held her feet: "Master, it's really not like that... Ruoxi is not a bad child."

She tried her best to hold Su Qingcang back, but Su Qingcang turned around and slapped her hard, looking at her as if he were looking at some heinous sinner.

"If you hadn't taught your son well, how could you have raised your daughter to be like this? If you dare to steal secret books today, you would dare to murder and set fire to someone tomorrow!"

From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Su Qingcheng beside him. He realized his gaffe and immediately regained his composure. He patted the place on his foot where Liu Rumei had hugged him: "You should also hand over the stewardship rights of the Su family to Qingcheng."

"No! How can she care about the Su family's affairs when she's already married!"

Su Qingcheng said calmly: "Knowing dad, Qingcheng will find a way to balance the palace and the Su family."

Su Qingcang glanced at her with relief, and Liu Rumei closed her eyes in despair when she saw that she was ignored by the father and daughter.
