Su Qingcheng admired Lou Minglan from the bottom of her heart. The jewel in the eye of a wealthy businessman in Liucheng could still be so brave after being tortured in such a place for so many years.

It would be great if I had such courage in my previous life...

Lou Minglan is a typical Jiangnan woman, with a petite figure. Su Qingcheng can hold her in his arms, "No need, I'm familiar with that place."

Lou Minglan didn't seem to like such close contact, so she struggled to break away from Su Qingcheng's arms.

"How can you be familiar with it if you have never been there? Let me tell you that I am the daughter of the Lou family. I have been doing business with my father and brother since I was a child. This little thing won't trouble me."

If Su Qingcheng hadn't been paying attention to Lou Minglan's expression, it would have been difficult to spot the tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

"You really don't need to believe me, I won't let you step into that place again."

For some reason, Lou Minglan always felt that Su Qingcheng's eyes seemed to be seeing other people through her.

Since she is so determined, she doesn't have to be brave anymore.

Su Qingcheng asked her about her father and brother's preferences and then left.

"Princess, the letter has been sent." Dan Mo waited at the door for Su Qingcheng to come out.

"Okay, go and clean up the two rooms next to this room, and open the doors and windows to get some fresh air. Her father and brother will be here tomorrow."

"Yes."

After Dan Mo left, Su Qingcheng watched fish in the pond in front of Wuya's courtyard.

As soon as Wu Ya came back, she saw a pink figure squatting by her pond. She tiptoed over and prepared to flick Su Qingcheng's head from behind.

"Is the matter settled?"

Su Qingcheng heard sighs from behind, "Why are you so vigilant? You can hear the footsteps of me who have been practicing martial arts since I was a child."

Su Qingcheng was frightened every day when she thought about her previous life in the cold palace. She could even tell whether the people walking past the door were male or female.

Su Qingcheng did not answer her question, but looked directly into Wu Ya's eyes and asked the question again with her eyes.

Then she picked a piece of foxtail grass and teased the fat-headed fish in the pond. She didn't turn around until the person behind her spoke.

"Well, the people inside took her away not long after I put her down."

Su Qingcheng nodded, "Go tell Su Ruoxi about this tonight."

Before Wu Ya could leave, she suddenly said, "Wait!"

Wu Ya turned around and looked at her in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"Pull me out, my legs are numb." After saying this, Su Qingcheng seemed to find it a bit ridiculous and burst out laughing.

Su Qingcheng is a very contradictory person. He will never be merciful towards his enemies and uses deadly methods, just like a veteran who has lived for many years.

But sometimes, she will show the cute side of her character, and she feels like she is just an ordinary woman.

In Ye Tantai's study, he was reading the secret letter sent by Li Jichen.

"Your Highness, how do you think the princess knows about Lihun Palace?"

Ye Tantai touched the expensive letter paper with his fingers, "She went to Yaoshan just for the Lihun Palace."

Fu Yi was even more confused now. Could his princess be a charlatan?

But there was no news at all during the original investigation!

"Leave the investigation of the Ji Le Sect's extermination to others, and you go keep an eye on Su Qingcheng."

"Yes. Your Majesty, in ten days there will be a large-scale annual event in the underground well. Do you want to send someone to sneak in?"

Ye Tantai's cold eyes stared at the three words "Su Qingcheng" written on the letter paper, with a slightly different emotion.

"I'll go there myself."

Fu Yi felt that His Highness had been acting strangely recently. Why was he personally involved in more and more things? Could it be that he dislikes our shadow guard's inability to do things well?

no! I must work harder to reassure His Highness!

In the Su Mansion, Su Ruoxi was walking around anxiously, "Why is it missing? Can a living person escape?"

The missing personal maid is Su Ruoxi's confidant, as is the mentally ill Caiyun.

It's okay to say that Caiyun is crazy. This Caixia knows that she and Liu Rumei have too many things going on. What if someone with ulterior motives uses the kidnapping to get out any information?

Angry in her heart, Su Ruoxi smashed another set of porcelain with a wave of her hand.

Suddenly, the candle flame flickered, and a sharp arrow shot in from the dark night, landing steadily in front of Su Ruoxi's eyes.

Su Ruoxi was so frightened that she almost lost her balance. The arrow grazed her nose, leaving a trail of blood.

"what!"

The maid next to her was also frightened and hurriedly helped Su Ruoxi sit down before taking off the letter from the arrow.

Su Ruoxi calmed down and took a look, and the words "underground well" came into view.

Of course Su Ruoxi knew where the underground well was, and she even sent many women there.

But why would Caixia go to that kind of place?

Su Ruoxi didn't have time to think too much, she just felt that since the underground well was Fu Xingzhou's territory, it should be safe, and she only wanted to bring Caixia back.

"Help me prepare a night clothes, I want to go out."

At this time, Wu Ya, who was observing Su Ruoxi's every move on the roof of the Su Mansion, watched as her mission was accomplished and she disappeared silently into the night.

Su Ruoxi came to the entrance of the underground well wearing night clothes. The boy at the door obviously knew her, "Miss, why are you here?"

Su Ruoxi looked around, "Take me backstage, I'll find someone."

The waiter looked at Su Ruoxi in embarrassment, "Miss, the boss has rules. You can't go backstage casually."

Su Ruoxi was anxious, "Can't I either? Next time I come with your boss, I hope you can remember what you did today."

The boy thought for a while. He couldn't afford to offend the woman in front of him. He bowed and apologized to Su Ruoxi, "Yes, please come this way."

Su Ruoxi raised her head and followed the boy.

Although she knew what was going on in the underground well, Su Ruoxi was still frightened from the bottom of her heart when she saw these half-clothed and scarred women with her own eyes.

She quickened her pace and finally found the unconscious Caixia in the corner, "I want to take this person away."

The boy hesitated, "This...is against the rules."

Su Ruoxi put a bag of money into the boy's hand, "She probably just came today. If you don't tell me, who knows?"

The waiter carefully observed that no one was around, put away the bag and told Su Ruoxi, "Okay, miss, hurry up."

Su Ruoxi sneered inwardly, as expected, they are all useless people who are jealous of money.

Su Ruoxi took Caixia back to the Su Mansion, ordered someone to tie her up and pour a basin of water on her.

Caixia opened her eyes in a daze, and cried excitedly when she saw it was her young lady, "Miss, did you rescue me? It's so scary there, young lady, why did you tie me up?"

Su Ruoxi was full of temptations towards Caixia, "Caixia, why would you go to a place like that?"

"Miss, I don't know! I was knocked unconscious just after I came out of the hut. When I woke up, I found myself in that kind of place. The people inside wanted to take off my clothes and feed me some medicine. I was unwilling to live or die and hit the wall while thinking. Forget it, I’ll see you when I wake up, miss.”

Su Ruoxi looked at the blood clots on Caixia's forehead. She knew the tricks of the underground well. Caixia probably didn't lie to her.

But who knocked her out?
