Su Liang touched her forehead, “Great God, aren't you making conclusions too hastily?”

Zhengzheng's eyes sparkled as she turned around to look at Ning Jing, “Who is the Great God?”

Ning Jing grabbed Zhengzheng's little hand, pointed at himself, “Me.”

Zhengzheng's little face was curious, “Why?”

“Ask her.” Ning Jing pointed at Su Liang again. Zhengzheng looked at Su Liang with a giggly smile, “Why?”

Su Liang replied seriously, “Because he's handsome.”

Zhengzheng held her chubby little face with her little hands, “I'm also pretty!”

Su Liang chuckled, “You're a little sweetheart.”

Zhengzheng extended her arms wide, gesturing, “Uncle Ning is a big, big sweetheart!”

The conversation had veered off-topic too radically, Su Liang brought it back,

“Let's get back to discussing 125.”

Ning Jing's expression was indifferent, “No one knew old Su Liang and Xiao Muyun better than Five. One and Two were in the same group, if Two knew about those matters, he would have publicised them long ago.”

Su Liang contemplated, “Actually, that's what I thought too.”

The Crown Prince Duanmu Cheng and Second Prince Duanmu Ao were brothers from the same mother, at least for now it seemed like they shared the same interests.

If Duanmu Ao knew about the Original Master and Xiao Muyun, given his personality, he'd definitely not keep himself from slinging mud at Su Liang, but instead use such a sinister and venomous method.

And Duanmu Che was very clear about the past between the Original Master and Xiao Muyun, and had once despised Su Liang greatly for it.

The timing of Xiao Muyun's premeditated plot to frame Su Liang was almost around when she publicly rejected Duanmu Che's proposal at the palace banquet, claiming that she was already engaged to Ning Jing.

It was since that night, that Su Liang and Duanmu Che had officially cut ties with each other.

Duanmu Cheng was overly self-centered, with average talents, capabilities, and intelligence, not nearly as astute and capable as Duanmu Chen.

Duanmu Ao was lustful and impulsive.

Out of all the princes Su Liang knew, the one who gave her the most “dark” vibes was the Fifth Prince, Duanmu Che.

“Want to sleep?” Ning Jing asked Zhengzheng.

Zhengzheng nodded her little head, “Uncle and Auntie sleep with me!”

“You can sleep with your uncle.” Su Liang smiled and began clearing up the dishes to go out.

Considering that Ning Jing served prison time for her, she decided to wash the dishes this time. As she washed, she pondered, if Duanmu Che was indeed behind Xiao Muyun, how should she verify this?

At this point, Xiao Muyun and his trusted followers were all dead, and the

linked to them.

Even if she suspected Duanmu Che, he wouldn't confess to it. Without evidence, she couldn't just fully assume it was him.

But to just let it go was absolutely unacceptable.

Unable to come up with a solution for the time being, Su Liang decided to take a rest first, regain energy, and think slowly later.

People from the Ministry of Justice came again, delivering a brocade box, claiming that it was evidence that was requested by Ning Jing to be returned to Su Liang. The murder case was closed, the items returned to the original owner.

Su Liang rewarded the government soldiers and waited for them to leave before opening the box. Upon seeing the fan pendant, sachet and handkerchief, she sighed deeply.

The Original Master met Xiao Muyun at an innocent and naive age, she held him in her heart until her death, but it ended up being a grave mistake.

Now, if she has become a spirit in heaven, she would find peace upon seeing everything that's happening now, right?

There were still many valuable items and clothes left by the Original Master in Su Liang's possession, all stored in a separate box. There was a purple jade pendant that Su Liang always wore.

There's a grave on Wangxiang Mountain outside the capital that belonged to Su Liang. Su Liang treats that as the Original Master's tomb to pay her respects.

She originally planned to bury all the things the Original Master left behind, including those she once gifted to Xiao Muyun, into that grave.

But then she changed her mind. Su Liang didn't know anything about the identity and background of the original master's mother. She suspected that there might still be relatives of her maternal family alive in the world. Those exquisitely unique embroideries were all filled with the original master's hard work. Su Liang always thought they should be given to someone who truly cares about the original master as a keepsake.

After a night's sleep, Su Liang called out for Ning Jing and Zhengzheng only to find no response.

In the garden at the back, they were seen fishing, one big and one small.

“Auntie!” Zhengzheng turned around, so excited that he tipped over and sat on the ground. He then got up laughing cheerfully.

Su Liang went over and seeing the wooden bucket empty asked, “How long have you been fishing?”

Zhengzheng chuckled, “Uncle Ning caught three fish, but said they weren't right and let them go!”

Su Liang held her forehead, guessing that Ning Jing was probably trying to catch the poor little fish that he once “marked” as the one that would turn into a squirrel fish when it grows up.

Ning Jing took a glance at Su Liang, “If we hook up a little squirrel fish, we'll eat squirrel fish.”

Okay, he even named the fish… Su Liang was indeed speechless.

“I want to go to the cemetery. You guys continue playing,” Su Liang said. Ning Jing put down his fishing rod, “I'll take Zhengzheng to watch the sunset.'

So, the two of them rode horses out, with Zhengzheng sitting in front of Ning Jing, and on the way, Su Liang bought many incense candles and joss paper.

They reached the foot of Wangxiang Mountain outside the city, tied up their horses and with Zhengzheng on Ning Jing's back and Su Liang carrying a basket, they began climbing the mountain.

When they got near the Su Family's cemetery, they went their separate ways.

Ning Jing kept climbing the mountain with Zhengzheng, and Su Liang said she would find them later.

First, Su Liang burned some joss paper for Su Yuanzhou, then in front of the “tomb of Su Liang”, she took out a few things the original master had given to Xiao Muyun, put them in the pile of joss paper and lit a fire.

“If vour spirit is in heaven, vou won't blame me, will vou?” Su Lianz sizhed softly, “You had enough hardship in this life. I hope in your next life, you'll be safe, joyful, happy and fulfilled. I will do everything I can to avenge the Su family.”

She watched as these things turned to ashes, and after making sure all the sparks were out, she got up and left.

When she entered the capital city, it was wintertime. By now, it was a season when everything was starting to recover.

While walking, Su Liang gathered medicinal herbs out of habit. By the time they reached the top of the mountain, her basket was filled again.

She didn't spot Ning Jing and Zhengzheng at first glance. Then she went around a huge stone, where Yan Shiba had hidden that night, but they were not there.

Just as she was finding it strange, she heard Zhengzheng's laughter from not too far away.

Looking towards the sound, she saw a big and a small figure sitting on an old tree on the mountain top with its rugged branches and trunk.

Ning Jing was gazing into the distance, his robes fluttering in the wind, black hair waving gently, as if ready to take off with the wind.

Zhengzheng was held in Ning Jing's arms. His legs were shaking rhythmically. He waved towards Su Liang with a brilliant smile, “We are up here! Auntie, come up!!”

Su Liang put the basket under the tree, ran up and climbed the tree. After arriving, she sat beside Zhengzheng.

Zhengzheng leaned against Su Liang and said with a giggle, “Uncle flew up here.”

Su Liang nodded, “Of course, immortals are different. I can't fly like that.”

There was still some time before sunset. Zhengzheng was excited about being so high up for the first time. He was held by Ning Jing one moment and by Su Liang the next. His courage grew, and he began to climb nearby branches. Every time he was about to fall, he was promptly caught and pulled back by either Ning Jing or Su Liang.

“Take off your outer robe,” Su Liang suddenly told Ning Jing.

Ning Jing frowned, “Why?”

“For Zhengzheng to play with,” Su Liang replied.

Ning Jing took off his outer robe and handed it to Su Liang.

Su Liang tied the sleeves and hems to the tree trunk to make a little hammock. Zhengzheng lay in it, swinging with the wind. His tiny body was safely enclosed inside, so he wasn't afraid of falling. He shouted, “So fun!” while wriggling about inside.

Listening to Zhengzheng's happy laughter, Su Liang brought up the important matter, “So how can we find evidence to prove it was Duanmu Wu?”

Ning Jing shook his head, “We can't.”

Su Liang frowned, “We cannot just let this go.”

“Whoever it is, they didn't succeed this time, there must be a next one.” Ning Jing said.

Su Liang deeply agreed.

Although she didn't like being defensively reactive, she couldn't waste time and energy on things where evidence couldn't possibly be found.

“Having obtained the title of Top Scholar, the next step is to thoroughly investigate the cause of the Su family's death.” Su Liang said seriously. This was her primary purpose for coming to the capital city and participating in the Military Exam.

Ning Jing asked, “If His Majesty appoints you to guard the border post, will you

“I'd love to take that experience, but I don't want to leave the capital city for now.” Su Liang said with a slight smile, “Your other brother originally wanted to defend the border, but unfortunately…”

Speaking about Nian Jincheng, Su Liang's voice paused, “Oops! I forgot about him!”

Last night when Su Liang left home for the Ministry of Justice, she had Nian Jincheng disguised and moved, instructing him not to leave the courtyard, waiting for her to come over.

Almost a day and night passed, Ning Jing returned home long ago, but Su Liang completely forgot about Nian Jincheng, didn't send him food for two meals, and didn't even boil medicine…

“He won't die, just let him rest quietly.” Ning Jing said calmly.

Su Liang raised her hand to her forehead, “You really are his good brother. Forget about watching the sunset, let's go home.”

“Since we are already here, there's no harm in waiting a little more.” Ning Jing said.

Su Liang shrugged, “He's your brother. As long as you don't mind, it's fine.” The setting sun shone in the west, and the gorgeous sunset glow dyed half of the sky red.

Su Liang and Ning Jing sat side by side on the tree stump, with a child's distance in between.

A child in a small hammock underneath, clutching the edge with his small hands, staring at the magnificent sunset with big round eyes, exclaimed, “Egg yolk! ”

Su Liang couldn't help but chuckle, it really did look like it.

After watching the sunset, the wind started to blow, Ning Jing didn't put his coat back on, instead he wrapped ZhengZeng in it and carried him down the hill.

“Auntie, I want to eat egg yolk pastry!” Zhengzheng expressed his most intuitive feeling after watching the sun set.

“Me too.” Ning Jing echoed.

Su Liang nodded, “If you give me a smile, you can have some egg yolk pastry.”

Ning Jing had a calm face, “Zhengzheng, give your auntie two smiles.”

Zhengzheng had a toothy gid, “I'll give three smiles!”

Su Liang: … Fine, she respects the Great God's right not to smile.

Upon returning to the city, Su Liang and Ning Jing first took Zhengzheng home, promising to make egg yolk pastry for him the next day.

By the time the two returned to the Su Mansion, it was completely dark.

When they saw Nian Jincheng, although he was starving, he thought that Su

Liang was busy trying to save Ning Jing from the prison and had ignored him.

Seeing Ning Jing come back, he was quite happy, “Has the matter been resolved?”

Su Liang told the truth, it was resolved early in the morning. Ning Jing went home, had lunch, had a nap, then went to the outskirts of the city to climb the mountain and watch the sunset.

Nian Jincheng's face turned dark instantly, “You… forgot about me?”

“Sorry,” Su Liang admitted.

Ning Jing added, “I didn't forget.”

Nian Jincheng: … This is too exhausting; let's fall out.

That night, when Su Liang was about to go to bed, it was already late.

Yan Shiba came again.

Su Liang thought it was fortunate that she hadn't let Nian Jincheng move back to Ning Jing's room next door, otherwise if Yan Shiba found out, it would be bad.

“Damn it! Gu Ling escaped!” Yan Shiba scratched his head furiously, “I can't even find a trace! Damn girl, why do you have to choose such a person!”

Su Liang calmly said, “Good taste, it can't be helped.”

“I heard you were in trouble, so I rushed over, but you're fine now!” Yan Shiba rolled up his sleeves, “Was it that Xiao frog who harmed you? It can't be that simple, right?”

Su Liang shook her head, 'We suspect that Duanmu Che is involved behind the scenes. ”

When Yan Shiba heard this, he became furious, “That useless man is still infatuated with you?”

“Don't be impulsive, he's living in the Imperial Palace now. After the incident of you kidnapping him last time, they must be on high alert.” Su Liang said.

“What about Ning Jing? Is he just going to watch someone harm you and do nothing?” Yan Shiba, saying this, rushed out to the neighboring room to find Ning Jing.

Su Liang didn't stop her, but she quickly returned, “Why isn't that Ning pretty boy at home late at night? Is he secretly meeting with other girls?” Su Liang shook her head, “Don't you even have this much trust in me?”

“I don't care, since you're fine, I'll be leaving!” Yan Shiba said, “I'll keep an eye on finding Miss Gu, you take care of Yunyun (untranslated name), don't let others bully him.”

“Where are you going?” Su Liang asked.

“I have a big business, I need to make a personal trip to Yin Country.” Yan Shiba said.

Su Liang nodded, “Take care.”

Yan Shiba ruffled Su Liang's hair, “I originally wanted to give you a few people to serve, but you are not willing. If anything happens, remember to push Ning Jing in front of you, don't rush forward yourself!”

Yan Shiba had proposed earlier to dispatch a few powerful assassins to serve Su Liang, but she refused. Only Yan Shiba and Yan Shiqi from Yanyun Building knew Su Liang and Ning Jing, all others who had seen them were dead.

The reason was still that Su Liang didn't want their secret to be known by others.

With a hustle and bustle, Yan Shiba left, and Su Liang remembered that she had forgotten to ask about Nian Ruting again.

She had been reading for a while when Ning Jing came back from outside. He was dressed in night travel clothes, wearing a mask, and it was unknown where he had been.

“I went to the Imperial Palace and poisoned Duanmu Che's late-night snack.” Ning Jing said.

Su Liang was surprised, “What poison?”

Ning Jing said, “Leisurely Pill.”

Su Liang's secret poison, after taking it, can make people go mad and lose their minds, but the effect only lasts for about 24 hours, after which it will return to normal.

She had made a few, and they were all in Ning Jing's hands.

Ning Jing stated that he couldn't find evidence, and this was indeed true, but that didn't mean he was just going to let things slide.

“So, you are certain it's him?” Su Liang asked.

“I wasn't sure at first.” Ning Jing said, “I heard him telling his subordinates to hide, and come out after they healed.”

Su Liang focused her gaze, “Injured subordinate? The one who tried to harm you in the prison last night?”

Ning Jing nodded.

This was hard evidence, but it couldn't be made public. Because in the eyes of the world, Ning Jing was a scholar who didn't know martial arts, and he didn't want to expose his strength.

“Where is the wound?” Su Liang asked.

“On their face.” Ning Jing said.

When Su Liang heard this, she knew that it was deliberately done by Ning Jing.

“It really is him!” Su Liang's face turned cold, “Thinking of the fact that he once saved 'me', I cancelled the past grievances, I didn't expect him to be so ruthless! Since this is the case, there's no need to be polite anymore!”

“Someone from the palace should be coming soon, to ask for you to heal Duanmu Che.” Ning Jing said.

Su Liang sneered, “Very good, I can use this opportunity to request the emperor to tell the truth about the Su family affair before I can heal Duanmu Che.. Once I cure his 'madness', you can continue to poison him, ensuring him having an 'enchanting' experience!”
