Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

It had been so long since she returned to Beiling, and if Yun Che hadn’t mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten to ask Xiaochun about her feelings.

"Tie Yi is really sincere to Xiao Chun and has always wanted to marry her. I promised him that I would help him arrange this when you come back.

But I've been too busy lately and have been delayed. Seeing that he has been restless these days, I just remembered this matter, so I wanted to ask you what you think."

Xiao Zhan's words echoed in her ears, and Jiang Xue noticed the red spot on Xiaochun's neck.

"He...he's fine." Xiaochun never hides his emotions.

Whenever she thought of Tie Yi, her mind would emerge with the warmth and joy of being hugged by him. This feeling was completely different from the one given by the princess, and she loved it very much.

"Oh, to be able to make this girl say something nice, it seems like she really likes me?" Qu Xin smiled and got off the bed, circled around Xiaochun a few times, and even got close to smell her. "Yes, it is true, Xiaochun, you are more feminine now."

"Ms. Qu, please stop making fun of me." Xiaochun felt sad and looked at Jiang Xue for help. Qu Xin was obviously younger than them, but she always called her 'Xiaochun', which was really frustrating.

At this moment, Fudong came over with a bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine to help. "Ms. Qu, if you keep talking, Xiaochun will blush like a ripe apple."

When Qu Xin lowered her head to take the medicine bowl, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the red string on Fu Dong's wrist. Although it was hidden in her sleeve, it still revealed the knot of love. Oh, it turned out that Fu Dong had also found his home.

"Fudong, where did you buy this bracelet? I like it very much. When we pass by the market on our way to Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion tomorrow, can you buy me one too?"

Before Qu Xin took the medicine, he did not forget to tease Fu Dong. Fu Dong, who had originally come to help Xiao Chun out of trouble, was now also involved in the joke. He hurriedly covered the knot on his hand, with a shy look on his face.

Jiang Xue looked at her two maids whose faces turned red due to Qu Xin's teasing, and couldn't help but sigh. This naughty little devil didn't even let her people go.

"Is it from Qing Feng?"

Jiang Xue gently waved her hand, signaling the two girls to return to her side and stay away from the naughty Qu Xin. She took Fu Dong's hand and looked at the red string carefully.

Frankly speaking, this heart knot is not very well woven, and it is obviously the work of a novice. Fu Dong nodded and said, "Qing Feng said this is his first time trying to weave."

Thinking of the moment when Qing Feng handed her this rough but thoughtful gift, Fu Dong's heart was filled with sweetness.

Even though this heart-shaped knot is not exquisite, it represents Qingfeng's true love for her.

"I believe it." Jiang Xue said with a smile.

Before she could ask more questions, Fu Dong rushed to defend Qing Feng, obviously deeply moved.

Jiang Xue felt sincerely happy to see that the two little girls had finally found someone who loved them and was trustworthy.

After all, they had experienced too much suffering in their previous lives.

“Let’s find a time to discuss with Yun Che and finalize the marriage between you, Qing Feng, and Tie Yi, so that they don’t have to worry all day.

Since you have always been by my side, I will naturally do my best to help you have a splendid and respectable wedding." As she spoke, she held one of them in each hand, with sincere joy in her eyes.

The next morning, Jiang Xue took Xiaochun to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, while Qu Xin, who was pregnant and not suitable for strenuous work, stayed in the palace and was taken care of by Fudong.

On the way, Jiang Xue specifically asked Xiaochun to buy her uncle's favorite snacks as a gift.

However, when they arrived at their destination, a strange feeling came over them. "Strange, why isn't there even a guard?"

Looking at the empty gate, Jiang Xue frowned and told Xiaochun to go around to the back door to check, but there was still no one there.

This situation is extremely unusual. As one of the military fortresses, there would usually be at least a few soldiers on guard here.

"Xiaochun, try knocking on the door." Jiang Xue decided to investigate it herself.

With a slight pushing and pulling sound, the door slowly opened, and a pungent smell of blood rushed towards us.

Jiang Xue felt her throat churning and she almost vomited. She covered her mouth, resisting the nausea, and walked towards the shocking scene. From the courtyard to the inner courtyard, the ground was covered with corpses, and no one was spared. The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion seemed to be stained red with blood, and the air was filled with the silence of death.

"What on earth is going on?" Xiaochun widened his eyes and looked around anxiously, searching for any possible survivors.

Finally, in a corner, they found a person with a faint breath.

Xiaochun hurried forward to ask.

"Miss...Miss..." The man pointed in a direction with his blood-stained finger and struggled to say the last words to Jiang Xue, "Sister..." As soon as he finished speaking, he took his last breath.

Jiang Xue immediately understood what the other party meant.

"Cousin." She whispered, and then ran towards the Lu family ancestral hall with Xiaochun.

There was a secret compartment there. Although the space was small, it was big enough for the petite Lu Linyi to hide.

However, when they searched the entire ancestral hall carefully, they did not find a way to open the secret compartment.

At this moment, the exhausted Jiang Xue accidentally touched an inconspicuous small bulge on the edge of the table.

With a slight sound, the secret compartment under the table slowly opened, revealing Lu Linyi hiding inside.

"Cousin!" Jiang Xue quickly carried out Lu Linyi, who was unconscious due to lack of oxygen.

After some examination, fortunately, apart from a brief loss of consciousness, she did not suffer any other injuries. After confirming that Lu Linyi was safe, Jiang Xue felt a little relieved.

"Xiaochun, take her back to the palace." Jiang Xue ordered, and at the same time she prepared to go to another direction to continue the investigation.

"Princess, aren't you going back with us?" Xiaochun asked worriedly, trying to stop Jiang Xue from acting alone.

"I have to go somewhere." Jiang Xue held the object tightly in her hand, her face solemn.

The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion suffered an unprecedented disaster. Almost everyone was brutally killed overnight.

Did no one notice anything? She checked every body carefully, but found no trace of her uncle.

Where did my uncle go?

To solve this mystery, she knew that only Linglong Pavilion could help.

In a hidden cave outside Yujing City, Qu Shang stood in the darkness, facing a tall figure. He asked, "Is everything completed as planned?"

With a muffled sound, Lu Changfeng was thrown to Qu Shang's feet. The figure moved quickly and embraced Qu Shang. His eyes flashed an unnatural red light, and he exuded an unsettling aura.

"I have done everything you asked me to do. Now it's my turn to ask for my reward." The man's hand reached into Qu Shang's clothes and grabbed his vitals tightly.

Then he lowered his head and gently bit Qu Shang's neck.
