The second prince's tent.
Duanmu Yuan held the tiger talisman in his hand, and was excited: "How did this end up in your hands?"
"This is something my father asked someone to send back to me for safekeeping." Su Yan raised the corner of her mouth quietly. It seemed that she had bet on the right thing.
Duanmu Yuan temporarily suppressed the burning heat in his heart, took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Is this true?"
Su Yan had already thought of a plan before coming, so she was not panicked at all.
His eyes were open and he nodded gently without any evasion: "Well, my sister looks like that..."
"Although Daddy loves her very much, he doesn't dare to give her important things, for fear that she might lose them by accident."
After a pause, she continued:
"Actually, I don't know what this is. I originally thought that I would return it to Daddy after he came back, but I didn't expect him to..."
She did this to prevent Duanmu Yuan from questioning her why she didn't give it to him at the beginning.
Under the candlelight, Duanmu Yuan lowered his eyes and thought for a while.
It is exactly as she said.
Even if Su Ruifeng treasured Su Qiao so much, he would not give her such an important thing for safekeeping.
After all, she was a fool, and she might have been easily deceived into handing over the things.
But in the general's mansion, besides Su Qiao, there is only Su Yan, a concubine's daughter.
There was no way he could trust those two concubines.
"So that's how it is." God is really helping me.
Duanmu Yuan clenched the tiger talisman tightly, and a hint of ecstasy could not be suppressed in his eyes, accompanied by huge ambition.
With Tiger Marching, he is one step closer to the throne.
No, not just a step, but a sure thing.
Su Yan knew that she had made the right move.
She lowered her head slightly, wiped the corners of her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief, and said in a choked voice:
"I don't know what happened to my father. There's no one in charge of the general's mansion now, and my sister is like that..."
Su Yan wore a white gauze dress tonight. She stood by the table with her head down and tears in her eyes. She looked a little more fragile than usual.
The white and slender neck seemed to be covered with a layer of fluorescent light under the swaying candlelight.
Duanmu Yuan had been interested in her before, and if the incense-burning incident had not happened later, he would not have deliberately kept his distance from her these days.
At this moment, he suddenly got the Tiger Talisman, and he was so distracted that he couldn't help but go forward and hug her.
"Alright, alright, don't cry, Xiaoyan. Uncle will be fine. He is just missing temporarily. No one dares to say that he is gone unless his body is found."
He said that it was okay, but in his heart he felt the exact opposite.
The tiger talisman is here, it seems that Su Ruifeng is really dead.
Otherwise, why wouldn't he keep such an important thing himself
Would you take such a big risk and give it to a concubine's daughter
However, Su Ruifeng was truly amazing, as he actually hid such an important thing for an unfavored concubine's daughter.
I guess no one expected this!
Otherwise, not to mention my eldest brother, even my father would have taken action.
Su Yan was excited, but her face was still full of sadness and tears:
"But it's been more than a month, almost two months, and there's still no news. What's going to happen to the General's Mansion in the future?"
"If only I could be like my sister, eating and drinking every day without having to think about anything. Sometimes I really envy her."
Duanmu Yuan touched her face with some heartache: "Why do you envy her? She is stupid..."
After a pause, he whispered in her ear, "Don't you still have me?"
“I… I…” Su Yan’s cheeks instantly turned red with shame, and she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
The man was in love, the woman was willing, and it was the middle of the night, so things came to fruition naturally.
Just when the two were struggling halfway, a snake head suddenly hung down from the beam on the top of the tent.
The long red tongue was rapidly shrinking and expanding with a hissing sound.
