In the middle of the night, Lin Ruoxi had another nightmare. When she woke up, she was already sweating, and even her back had sweat wet.

Mo Xueyuan was guarding the door and heard a scream from inside the room. She rushed over quickly. Seeing Lin Ruoxi's face pale, she asked worriedly, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Ruoxi lowered her eyes and waved her hand to signal that she was fine.

Mo Xueyuan couldn't help but guess: "Did you have a nightmare again? Master, you have had nightmare for three days and three nights in a row."

Lin Ruoxi smiled bitterly: "It's not just three days and three nights. I've been having such nightmare for more than a year. Every time I dream, I'll see Qiu Yan and Leng Xin being stabbed to death by bad people in order to protect the old lady and Aunt Liu. The old lady and Aunt Liu begged the bad people to let Xiao Jinghua go, but in the end they were killed. When I think of their tragic death, I'll be frightened and wake up from the nightmare."

Mo Xueyuan also knew that the deaths of the old lady and Aunt Liu had already had a serious blow to Lin Ruoxi. In addition, the whereabouts of Young Master Xiao Jinghua were unknown, so her master was worried day and night, looking for his whereabouts everywhere, but this year, there was still no news... and her master felt more and more guilty that he did not protect his relatives, so she had nightmares every night, and she dreamed of this scene.

Mo Xueyuan brought Lin Ruoxi a cup of hot tea: "Master, you can drink a cup of hot tea to make you scared!"

Lin Ruoxi took the teacup, drank it gently, and then let out a breath of relief. Recently, somehow, she was always worried, as if something was wrong.

The night wind blew, shaking the wooden window, slapped the carved window wood, and banging twice. Mo Xueyuan stood up and closed the wooden window. When she looked back, Lin Ruoxi had already put on a pink cloak and walked out of the house.

Today's moonlit night is very desolate. The rustling wind sways the peach blossom petals on the peach blossom tree to the ground. Lin Ruoxi sighed softly, walked to the stone bench under the peach blossom tree to sit down, holding his chin with his hands and thinking about something.

At this moment, a man in water blue clothes suddenly stopped outside the yard. Then the figure walked into Lin Ruoxi's yard and sat quietly on the stone bench next to Lin Ruoxi.

Mo Xueyuan originally wanted to remind Lin Ruoxi that the fourth son Situ Zhan had come to her boudoir to visit her, but Lin Ruoxi somehow thought was a little too obsessed and did not notice that someone was sitting next to her.

The moonlight made her white porcelain face smooth and transparent, her eyelashes were black and thick, slightly raised, trembling slightly with the spring breeze, as beautiful as a black butterfly flapping its wings.

Her eyes were dark and shiny, as if they had a strong attraction. As long as you looked in, you would be unable to extricate yourself. Situ Zhan was just looking at Lin Ruoxi's face briefly, but when he saw her beautiful eyes, he couldn't help but be attracted by her bright eyes.

"Xueyuan, I really want to go back to the past...at least there are not so many troubles, and they have always been by my side. I feel that life is very happy and happy!"

"So, are you unhappy with everyone in the Marquis of Pingyang Mansion accompanying you? Ruoxi?"

Lin Ruoxi smiled slightly: "I am very happy now, so I am also afraid, afraid that one day I really can't leave here."

"Leave here? Ruoxi...where else are you going?" Situ Zhan asked curiously.

Lin Ruoxi woke up and looked at Situ Zhan, who had a handsome face and his eyes were as bright as black agate. She stood up in fear and asked in disbelief: "Fourth Brother, when have you been sitting beside me?" She looked at Mo Xueyuan again: "Xueyuan, Fourth Brother is here, why don't you tell me!"

Mo Xueyuan felt very innocent. Although Situ Zhan had reminded her that she would not let her tell her master that he had come to her, she still tried every means to hint her master that someone had come, but Lin Ruoxi thought too seriously that Situ Zhan came to her, and she didn't even notice it.

"Master, I..."

Situ Zhan hurriedly interjected: "Little sister, don't blame Xue Yuan, it's because I didn't let her tell you that I'm here. I just heard the little sister say, you're afraid that one day you will fall in love with this place and cannot leave this place... What does this mean?"

Lin Ruoxi was startled at first, then Feng Qingyun smiled indifferently: "It's not interesting, I'm just talking casually!"

Of course, Situ Zhan didn't believe that Lin Ruoxi was just talking casually, but seeing that Lin Ruoxi was sure that he didn't want to tell the reason, he didn't ask.

He picked the key points and said, "Little sister, I have installed some people in the Jade Prince's Mansion. They told me that the Jade Prince once left the Jade Prince's Mansion angrily, but when he came back, he had a smile on his face. It seemed that someone was willing to help him and give him advice, so he was so happy."

Lin Ruoxi frowned slightly and thought for a while: "I think Empress Wu will definitely not help him. She looks at the long term and puts the overall situation first... Is it because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who wants to help the Jade King?"

Situ Zhan suddenly realized, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has a good relationship with the Jade King. It seems that as my younger sister said, Your Highness the Crown Prince is going to help the Jade King. But... I still can't think of how Your Highness the Crown Prince will help him?"

Lin Ruoxi vaguely felt something was wrong, but she didn't say it, but stood up with a smile and stretched: "Fourth Brother, it's getting late, you'd better go back and rest earlier. We're going to talk about this tomorrow."

Situ Zhan nodded: "That little sister, let's talk tomorrow!" He stood up and left Lin Ruoxi's yard thoughtfully.

Mo Xueyuan also felt something was wrong, and she hurriedly asked, "Master, what should I do now?"

Lin Ruoxi smiled faintly: "It seems that we have to leave the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and go back!"

"Go back? Do you want to go back to that house?" 13acv.

Lin Ruoxi nodded. Mo Xueyuan knew Lin Ruoxi's thoughts, so she stopped talking. She prepared some things to bring out. She and Lin Ruoxi took advantage of the night to walk through the secret door of Tuoba Tian who had entered and exited the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and left the Pingyang Marquis Mansion together, and rode the prepared horse and rushed back to the house where she had lived in the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw that the house was already brightly lit and the seal on the door had been torn off. Lin Ruoxi and Mo Xueyuan looked at each other, and the two hid the horse in a safe place, turned over and jumped into the house.

"There is nothing here, it's empty. How can I go back and report to the Jade King?" The guard in gorgeous clothes stomped his feet angrily. He had been searching for a long time, but there was no movement yet.

Afterwards, more than a dozen guards gathered one after another. They felt the same way, and they found nothing or clues, and they were so angry that they gritted their teeth.

Just as these people were about to leave the house, a guard suddenly looked at the garden in the house. He actually picked up the sword and picked up the soil on the garden. But at this moment, he felt his sword as if it had pierced into some hard object. He pulled out the sword and waved to the more than ten guards who were about to leave, saying, "Come quickly! There seems to be something strange here!"

More than ten guards rushed over. They all used some iron tools to dig up the soil in the garden. Not too deep, they found a wooden coffin here. Ten people hurriedly lifted the wooden lid of the coffin as if they had discovered a treasure.

Something incredible to them happened. Isn’t the person lying in the coffin the eldest lady of the Situ family?

They suddenly understood the Jade King's explanation. It seemed that the young lady who lives in the Situ family now was not real, but a fake.

"Why, have you seen enough?" A cold voice came from behind, shocking the more than ten guards' bodies to tremble.

They looked back slowly and saw a woman with the same face as in the coffin. Although the woman lying down had slightly changed her face, she was still as carved from a mold like the woman standing in front of them now.

Their foreheads were covered with cold sweat, pointed at Lin Ruoxi, and asked tremblingly: "Are you... a human or a ghost?"

"I'm going to tell you that I'm a human being, and I'm a living person, but you've also seen that I'm not the real Miss Situ, so... you all have to die!" After Lin Ruoxi said that, he took out a dagger from his arms, exchanged glances with Mo Xueyuan, and the two of them rushed over quickly.

These more than ten guards are outstanding martial arts masters in the Jade King's Mansion, but they didn't know that Lin Ruoxi once put a secret medicine for herbs in this coffin. As long as anyone dares to open the coffin and suck the secret medicine for herbs in it, they will soon become weak and dizzy.

Lin Ruoxi's movements were as fast as a leopard. As the knife rose and fell, two or three guards had fallen down. Their throats were pierced by Lin Ruoxi. It can be seen that Lin Ruoxi's killing method was quite ruthless and he would never leave a single breath.

Soon, the more than ten guards were killed. Mo Xueyuan and Lin Ruoxi confirmed that the guards were completely extinguished, and then they took back the knife.

Lin Ruoxi saw Situ Ruoxi lying in the coffin. She had lost a lot of weight and had a little damaged skin on her face. She sighed softly and told Mo Xueyuan, "Xueyuan, let's cremate Miss Situ!"

Mo Xueyuan nodded. She found dried firewood as Lin Ruoxi's instructions, put Situ Ruoxi's body on the falling dried firewood, then lit a torch to ignite the dried firewood. As the whistling spring breeze blew, the fire of dried firewood became bigger and bigger. Gradually, the flames surrounded Situ Ruoxi's body, and soon Situ Ruoxi's body gradually disappeared into the fire.

Lin Ruoxi sighed: "Miss Situ, you and I have a destiny. If you hadn't been killed for me, I'm afraid the dead person would be me. Now that I have become you, I will definitely hold this hatred for you."

She picked up the ashes on the ground, put them into a small green jar, and buried Situ Ruoxi's remaining bones under a blooming peach tree.

"Master, I have buried the bodies of more than ten guards in the garden. We should leave here as soon as possible, so as not to get suspicious. I send someone to check here and find us!"

Lin Ruoxi nodded, holding the ashes, and smiled faintly: "Miss Situ, I will help you collect your ashes. When the day you avenge you, I will hold your ashes and see with my own eyes how they died in my hands."

After Hanruo woke up, he asked. Mo Xueyuan called out: "Master, let's go!"

Lin Ruoxi hugged the urn and walked out of the house. She sealed the door with paper, jumped onto the horse's back and left the mansion with great speed.

It was light and the Jade Prince's Mansion was brightly lit that night. The Jade Prince lay on the couch, frowned, and was waiting for the news all the time, but after waiting for so long, no one came back to report.

He had already sent someone to investigate the news there, and it was time to come back.

Suddenly a guard came in dust.

"Report to the Jade King, I just went to the house that Jade King mentioned to find them, but found that there was no one there. Has something happened to them?"

After the guard said this, he hesitated, for fear that the Jade King would be unhappy, so he stabbed him with one knife.

The Jade King was indeed furious and smashed the teacup on the guard's forehead. The guard fell to the ground.

"Useless things, you are really useless things. You didn't find anything, and you didn't even see anyone? How can you hold this hatred?"

The Jade King climbed up from the bed, and there was still a tear-breaking pain behind him, but now he didn't care about the pain on his body. When he thought of being beaten with a board, his favorite man Tuoba Chen was also tortured by a stick, his anger ignited.

He personally prepared a carriage and rushed towards the house, but after arriving at the house, he still found no suspicious signs. Just as he was about to leave, he found that the soil in the garden in the house seemed to have been renovated. He hurriedly ordered people to dig out the soil in the house, and soon dug out the bodies of more than ten guards who had previously sent out.

He was so angry that he almost fainted. Unexpectedly, someone attacked him earlier and even more ruthlessly. Now in this house, I'm afraid he can't find any clues.

A confidant Wu guard next to the Jade King reminded him in the ear of the Jade King: "Jade King, have you forgotten? Didn't we have installed our people in the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion?"

The Jade King suddenly remembered and reached out and patted his forehead: "Yes! Why did I forget it? Now it's time to use her."

The guard Wu hurriedly said with great sincerity: "Then King Jade, leave this matter to the slave. The servant will find her in the Jade King's Mansion."

The Jade King nodded: "Okay, but be careful not to let the people in the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion discover it."

Guard Wu bowed and said, "Don't worry, King Yu, I will definitely do this properly!"

Pingyang Hou Mansion.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Situ came to Lin Ruoxi and said that the old lady was very happy and insisted that the whole family go for breakfast together. Lin Ruoxi slept for less than half an hour that night, and now she was dizzy, but she felt that it was difficult to let go of her affection, so she went to the old lady's yard with Mrs. Situ.

Unexpectedly, Li Mao, a handsome man in gorgeous clothes, a kind smile and a bright eyes like black pearls, was sitting at the table for meals.

When Li Mao saw Lin Ruoxi coming, he stood up politely: "Cousin, you are here!"

Lin Ruoxi nodded politely: "I didn't expect that my cousin came to visit the old lady early in the morning and even had breakfast together, which shows that he was interested."

Pingyang Hou Situ Yu smiled faintly: "Mr. Mao has been polite since he was a child and is a rare talent. An excellent man, Ruoxi... What do you think of King Mao?"

As soon as these words came out, the old lady smiled: "Ruoxi, I grew up watching King Mao, so I know this child very well. He is really good, Ruoxi...what do you think?"

Lin Ruoxi saw everyone in the room and seemed to look at her with a passionate look, as if she was waiting for her to express her thoughts about King Mao.

But Lin Ruoxi did not have any feelings for this Mao King, but because so many people were waiting for her to reply, she said insincerely: "Mr. Mao King is handsome, both civil and military, and is an outstanding man. Of course, Ruoxi thinks that Mr. Mao King is too outstanding."

Mrs. Situ's expressions were different from those of Marquis Pingyang and the old lady. She understood her daughter's intentions. From the time her daughter was very close to the third young master of the Mo family and Marquis Jingyu, she could see that her daughter really wanted to get along with one of them.

Although this Maowang is good, he can't fall in love with his daughter.

When Mrs. Situ saw that the old lady and Situ Yu were both laughing happily, she held down the words she wanted to persuade, grabbed Lin Ruoxi's hand and sat in a position that was one person short of King Mao. She sat between Lin Ruoxi and Li Mao.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Situ in surprise, but Mrs. Situ said calmly: "It is rare for everyone to have breakfast together. The old lady is so happy... Let's have dinner!"

The old lady coughed gently, but Mrs. Situ didn't want to get up. She couldn't help but frown: "Madam, are you sitting in the wrong place?"

Mrs. Situ looked at the old lady seriously and said, "No, don't I just sit here for meals on weekdays? Old lady, is there anything wrong with it?"

The old lady knew the character of this daughter-in-law. If it was something she decided, it would be like a nail into the board and would never change it again.

She ate the dishes given to her by her two granddaughter-in-law cloth, so she didn't say much. Instead, Situ Yu sighed helplessly. It seemed that his wife liked this daughter so much that she felt reluctant to let go of her daughter even when she got married.

Li Mao ate the meal politely from beginning to end, and he raised his hand and paused his feet and showed no unnaturalness at all, or was angry that Mrs. Situ deliberately stopped him from getting close to Lin Ruoxi.
