It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

Su Wanti said this in a gentle tone and with a soft attitude.

But she had always been cold and aloof, and had never uttered such soft words in a pinched voice. She felt uncomfortable halfway through her words, and her soft words became more and more stiff.

Until finally, she felt embarrassed, her voice gradually became softer, and her face became redder.

After finally finishing her words, she let out a breath, pursed her lips, and was about to leave.

Rong Zhou's eyes were as dark as the sea. The moment the woman turned around, he looked at her tall and proud back, and a strange feeling flashed through his heart, with a slight fluctuation in his eyes.

"Girl, I see that there are still a few problems in your swordsmanship. If you want to practice it proficiently and fluently, you have to correct these problems. How about this, will you come here to practice swordsmanship again tomorrow? I will help you to the end, and I can come here to guide you."

Su Wanti's heart trembled, and she subconsciously tightened the sword in her hand.

After being teased and bullied by Fu Ziyu, Su Wanti has been resistant to men's kindness.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Now she was like a frightened bird, and her body turned cold when she heard the man's earnest words.

"No need, I just need to practice a few moves, I don't need to be proficient."

Hearing this, Rong Zhou's expression did not change. He could see that her body suddenly tensed up and her words were distant.

But he still smiled happily, "Okay."

Rong Zhou didn't look away until the slender figure in green disappeared among the bamboo forest.

At some point, a man in black clothes stood behind him. The man covered his face with a thin silver mask, looking extremely mysterious.

"Master, she came in along the stream and through the path. Her steps were so light that the forest guards did not notice her."

"This forest is the master's favorite place. If it is known to outsiders, should we kill her?"

The silver-faced man's voice was deep and cold, like a demon from hell.

Rong Zhou waved his hand and said, "She is just a weird little girl. It was an accident that she found me. Don't worry about her."

"Master, do we need to investigate her identity?"

Rong Zhou stood with his hands behind his back and thought about it.

"No need."

He just saw that the woman's attitude was cold and distant, and felt that she didn't want to see him again.

But he is just a passer-by in life. When he is gone, he is gone. What is there to investigate?

Rong Zhou raised his head and looked along the top of the bamboo towards the bright light blue sky.

He was used to seeing life and death on the battlefield.

The brothers who were drinking together yesterday will be covered in blood and die on the battlefield tomorrow.

Therefore, except for his blood relatives, he was used to treating everyone he met as a passer-by in his life, without asking about the past and the future.

Even though he felt a little interest and curiosity towards the beautiful yet cold woman, he didn't want to get to know her in depth.

She was also a passer-by in his life, but her appearance caused ripples in his long-calm heart.

He let the ripples drift slowly until they became fainter and farther away.

----

It was already afternoon when Su Wanti returned to the Su Mansion.

The summer sun hung obliquely in the western sky. The bright afternoon sunlight shone on the earth, and the heat from the ground rose, making it scorching and unbearable.

"Fifth Miss, you did a big thing yesterday. The master and the mistress invite you to the ancestral hall."

The housekeeper was waiting at the gate, saying with a forced smile.

He had been waiting at the gate of the mansion for some time. Although he had been sitting in the shade, he could not avoid the hot air.

He had been thinking for a while that something good would happen soon, and his red face showed warmth and excitement.

Su Wanti thought about it. Her biological father went to a social event yesterday and came back home drunk. He had no idea what happened yesterday.

It must have been today when he arrived at the Ministry of Rites and listened to the discussions and ridicule of his colleagues that he learned about what happened yesterday.

This was the case in the previous life.

Her father was furious and made her suffer family punishment in the ancestral hall. She was hit on the back with ten sticks and was confined to her own yard, not allowed to go out. Then he told her that after a few days, when the rumors died down, he would send someone to send her to another province to live with relatives there, and she would never be allowed to return to Beijing.

In this life, Su Wanti will not go to other provinces, but she will pretend to agree first.

She didn't want to be beaten in this life.

In fact, she felt that she deserved the beating. After all, it was her own fault for being blind and trusting others' sweet words that ruined her reputation and eventually her life...

But she paid the price of her life in her previous life!

Besides, she still needs to practice sword in this life, and she can't get beaten.

As for how to avoid the beating, she has already thought of a way.

As their thoughts were dancing, Su Wanti and others arrived at the ancestral hall.

"Fifth Miss, please come in." The butler raised his eyebrows and made a gesture.

Su Wanti walked into the ancestral hall with an expressionless face.

"Evil beast, who taught you to do such a thing? Threatening death and accusing the eldest son of the prime minister? Are you crazy? Doing such a ridiculous and crazy thing? Have you ever considered the reputation and future of our Su family before doing this?"

Father Su's roar exploded above Su Wanti's head. He was burning with rage, and his angry voice even shook the dust on the beams to fall down.

He cursed Su Wanti, still not satisfied, and threw the teacup in his hand towards her.

Su Wanti did not raise her eyes, but dodged lightly, and the teacup broke under her feet, revealing a hot splash of water with white steam.

She pursed her lips, her expression indifferent, and said nothing. She simply knelt down with her head lowered, making it impossible to see her complexion.

She had no way to defend herself in this matter; it was indeed her fault.

Moreover, both my father and mother dislike me. If I defend myself by saying that Fu Tzuyu always tries to meet with me in private, they will be even more angry.

Su Wanti's voice was low.

"It's my daughter's fault. I have brought shame to the family and ruined my reputation and future. I accept the punishment."

Father Su was still angry, but Su Wanti didn't cry or make a fuss. She admitted her mistake so straightforwardly that he didn't know how to scold her next.

Mrs. Su raised her eyelids, lowered her teacup, and glanced at Su Wanti lightly.

She felt that Su Wanti seemed a little different today.

Su Wanti is usually like a taciturn person, cold and silent.

When there was a dispute between the illegitimate daughters in the backyard and someone reported her, she never defended herself, but just raised her chin with a cold face, not saying a word, not bowing her head, and not apologizing...

This is strange. Why did she admit her mistake so quickly?

After a while, Su's father's anger subsided a little, but he was still angry.

Father Su stared at Su Wanti, who was kneeling on the ground in silence, and said angrily through gritted teeth:

"What you did yesterday was really absurd. It has a huge impact on our Su family. Not only will it affect the future of your brothers and sisters, but it will also cause your father and I to be laughed at by our colleagues! It is extremely evil and must be punished!"

Father Su looked grim and said sternly:

"Madame Qin, please follow the family rules. Miss Fifth has ruined the family tradition. She will be punished with ten strokes of the cane. You will be in charge. She must be severely beaten. If not, she will not learn her lesson! Only after she has been beaten can she be let go."

"Also, from today on, Miss Fifth is under house arrest and is not allowed to leave her yard!"

Father Su's face was dark and his eyes were gloomy.

He couldn't let his daughter go again. If she did the same thing again, he would lose all his face!

He wants to eliminate all future troubles.
