Su Hao looked at Mrs. Hou’s sincere look, and it didn’t seem like a fake, and Mrs. Hou had no need to lie to her. This means that there is someone behind the scenes. And that person is also from the Marquis’ Mansion.

Su Hao decided to stay in the Hou's Mansion for a while first, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and finally think about Su Haoniang, that is, Hou Xinyao's stay or not.

Mrs. Hou washed and dressed up Hou Xinyao. Hou Xinyao put on a brand new dress, combed her beautiful hair bun, and stood there gently. She still felt a bit graceful and beautiful when she didn't speak.

Mrs. Hou also found a doctor for Hou Xinyao to treat it, but the doctor could only shake his head and sigh when he was symptomatic, and then prescribed a few doses of medicine to take care of Hou Xinyao.

But Su Hao lived in the Hou Mansion for a while and found that the backyard of the Hou Mansion was not so calm. There were many women in the backyard. Mr. Hou was a little indifferent and just managed the Hou family in front of him. He always ignored what happened in the backyard. Although he gave Mrs. Hou the respect he should have, Mrs. Hou was soft-hearted and sometimes he couldn't control the concubines.

For example, the only Aunt Yan among these concubines who have a son.

The woman was in her early thirties, slightly short, but she had a plump figure and elegant eyebrows, like a ripe peach, exuding a mature atmosphere. She relied on her son, and was quite arrogant in the mansion, and was not very respectful to Mrs. Hou.

"Oh, Madam, have you got a playmate for the eldest young master?" This was her first sentence after seeing Hou Xinyao. Anyone could see that Hou Xinyao's intelligence was a bit inferior to that of ordinary people. Her thorny sentence was about Hou Xinyao, but in fact, she was undoubtedly belittling the eldest young master of the Hou Mansion.

After hearing this, Mrs. Hou looked at her coldly: "Auntie Yan is also the Hou's mansion that has been moving forward more than ten years ago. Can't even Yao'er recognize it?"

"Yao'er?" A trace of surprise suddenly flashed across Aunt Yan's white and tender face. She actually stood up and walked straight towards Hou Xinyao: "Madam, this is Miss Xinyao?"

When Hou Xinyao was in the mansion, she did not marry the eldest son of the Hou family, so everyone respectfully called Hou Xinyao Miss Xinyao.

Mrs. Hou nodded slightly: "Why, Aunt Yan can't recognize her?"

An awkwardness flashed across Aunt Yan's face. She took Hou Xinyao's hand, looked up and down, and then asked carefully: "What's wrong with Miss Xinyao...what's wrong?"

Thinking of this, Mrs. Hou felt ache in her heart and immediately sneered: "I'm afraid I have to ask the people in the mansion. After I cure Xinyao, the truth will be revealed."

Aunt Yan's face turned pale.

Su Hao looked at all these, and immediately she felt that Aunt Yan was very suspicious. After following Mrs. Hou back into the house, she began to ask Mrs. Hou: "Madam, why is Aunt Yan so arrogant?"

Mrs. Hou smiled bitterly: "Because that daughter has a son, you see, there are many women in the backyard, but the master has always had difficulty in having children. Aunt Yan's son is the only son of the master except my son, and my son is ill again..." Mrs. Hou sighed heavily. Mrs. Hou was a bit interested in the offspring. If it weren't for her first wife and starting from scratch with Mr. Hou, Mr. Hou had always respected her, so these concubines would not dare to be too presumptuous, otherwise she might have been more difficult in the Hou's mansion than now.

Su Hao felt strange in his heart, why so many women have no children, but Aunt Yan has children. She thought about it and asked again: "How old is Aunt Yan's child this year?"

Mrs. Hou returned without hesitation and said, "It's a coincidence that it was the year your mother disappeared."

Su Hao narrowed his eyes, and felt that there must be something else strange about it.

...

After Hou Xinyao and Su Hao returned to Hou's mansion, Hou's wife refused to leave Hou Xinyao's side day and night. However, Hou Xinyao could not live with Hou's wife forever, so Hou's wife wanted to arrange a residence for Hou Xinyao, which was Hou Xinyao's residence for more than ten years.

Mrs. Hou often wiped her tears these days. She pushed open the door of Hou Xinyao's room and said to Su Hao: "Over the years, I have been asking my servants to organize the room every day, just to wonder if Yao'er will miss my mother on a day to come back and see..."

Su Hao was moved. Although Mrs. Hou bought Hou Xinyao back from someone else, she treated Hou Xinyao really well. If Hou Xinyao was placed in Hou's mansion, Su Hao would be at ease.

"Can you put your mother in this room without anyone taking care of her?" Mrs. Hou asked Su Hao worriedly. It was Su Hao's previous proposal to let her and Hou Xinyao live in this room.

Su Hao smiled playfully: "Madam, aren't I a human being when you say this? I have always taken care of my mother. I am afraid that strangers will take care of my mother, and my mother will not get used to it."

When Mrs. Hou saw her behind her, she was obviously afraid of seeing others. She felt that Su Hao's words made sense, so she agreed.

"Then what do you need? Remember to instruct your servants. This is your own family." Mrs. Hou patted Su Hao's hands and advised Su Hao, who nodded obediently.

After Mrs. Hou agreed to Su Hao's request, she specially asked the maid to carefully clean the room she had lived in between Su Haoniang.

This room is located in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion. It is said that trees are not allowed to be planted in the inner courtyard, but Su Haoniang loved peach blossoms very much back then. Mrs. Hou was eager to love her daughter, so she begged the master to plant a peach tree in front of the window.

Su Hao held Su Haoniang's hand and came to this room under the earnest leadership of Mrs. Hou. It was late spring and the peach blossoms had already bloomed. But even so, although it was not a grand scene, watching the fallen flowers bloom after the wind blew, it had a unique flavor. There was also a naughty petal falling on Su Haoniang's clothes, and Su Haoniang giggled.

Mrs. Hou looked at Su Haoniang with a happy smile, and turned around secretly, avoiding Su Hao's tears, and when she turned around, her eyes were full of love.

The maid opened the door without a trace of dust, but instead seemed to be covered with a layer of waxy oil-like pineapple wood. The sun shone in. Su Haoniang stepped in excitedly, and Su Hao and Mrs. Hou followed closely behind.

The house was neat and bright, with smoke curling from the incense burner, and the fragrance spread throughout the house. The pink and white gauze tent was covered with agarwood bed, the exaggerated bronze mirror, and a dressing table with rouge and water powder. The house was obviously decorated quietly, and the fragrance and color that Su Haoniang liked was specially used.

Mrs. Hou took Su Haoniang and walked around the house. Her words were filled with intimacy.

: "Yaoer, do you like this room? This is your room more than ten years ago." Mrs. Hou's eyes surged again with soreness, and she said in a daze: "But so many years have passed, and I don't know if Yaoer still likes such a room..." When she said this, Mrs. Hou's tone fell down.

"I like it, mom, Yao'er likes it." Su Haoniang replied with a harmless innocent smile. Su Haoniang never called herself Yao'er in front of Su Hao, but when she returned to Madam Hou, she seemed to have become the Miss Xinyao before. In addition, Madam Hou asked a famous doctor to prescribe medicine to regulate Hou Xinyao's body recently. She was in a much better condition and her mouth was clearer than before, but she still couldn't say the complete words.

Mrs. Hou breathed a sigh of relief, a loving smile appeared on her face, and stroked Hou Xinyao's hair: "It's good that Yao'er likes it. After so many years, Yao'er has suffered. Let's stay in this room with Ahao these days."

Su Haoniang nodded obediently.

Su Hao and Su Haoniang have been living in this room together these days. There are memories of Su Haoniang here. She slept very well and no longer had nightmares.

But Su Hao is different. She needs to be vigilant at all times to prevent anyone from assassinating Su Haoniang. This is why she insisted on living here alone with Su Haoniang. Since Hou Xinyao is back, although she has some brain problems, it may not be cured. Therefore, if the murderer in more than ten years is still in the mansion, he will definitely take action again.

But after a few nights like this, the weather was calm and the weather was safe. Su Hao thought that the person in the dark had given up, but he didn't expect something happened tonight.

Everything was silent, and suddenly Su Hao heard a gentle tapping sound from the closed window. Su Hao raised his ears. The tapping sound was rhythmic. She deliberately ignored it and wanted to see their next move.

The man might have become bolder when he saw that there was no reaction in the house. Su Hao clearly heard the sound of footsteps and the sound of moving ladders. It seemed that someone had climbed onto the roof.

Su Hao laughed secretly in the dark room. She had already set up a trap on the roof. When the man came to the roof, it seemed that he had fallen into the trap.

Sure enough, a scream came after a while, and it was a slightly delicate voice of a woman.

Su Hao turned nervously to look at Su Haoniang who was beside him. There was no movement, it seemed that she was sleeping heavily. Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly lit the light and tiptoed out of bed. He was about to open the door to find the maid when the door was pushed open.

"Miss Ah Hao? What's wrong? I slept in the room next tonight. I seemed to hear something happening. Are you okay?" It was Mrs. Hou's personal maid, Hanmei.

Su Hao thought, Mrs. Hou really loved Su Haoniang. It turned out that she had been sending people to protect them. Seeing that Su Hao was silent, Rimei asked anxiously, "I have called the servant, Miss Ahao, are you okay? Where is Miss Xinyao?"

Su Hao reacted and replied with a smile: "We are fine, don't worry, wait for the servants to come here."

As soon as Su Hao finished speaking, several tall and powerful servants came quickly in the uniforms of the Hou Mansion.

"Miss Ah Hao? What's wrong?" The leader asked with a thin, dark skinned man with a slight breath.

"You go to the roof and get the one who is trapped by the fishing net." Su Hao calmly ordered.

It was only then that winter plums noticed that there was always a slight movement on the roof, as if it was a struggle.

The servant received the order and immediately went up to the roof. Su Hao waited patiently underground.
