Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

After the dolls got the news, they were all very disappointed and began to think of various ways to bring the two together.

For example, he deliberately fell down and bruised his skin, and then coquettishly asked Su Liu and Shen Luochen to take them to see the doctor, or deliberately sprinkled water on Su Liu's bed, and coaxed the two of them to live together.

Su Liu felt baffled by their behavior, but Shen Luochen had been suffering silently without saying anything.

That night, Nineteen came back with a few secret guards, and Shen Luochen called Su Liu out.

They brought back shocking news.

"Master, my subordinates have been following Ms. Zhang for a while and discovered that she has private contacts with the General's Mansion."

The Zhang named in Nineteen's mouth is actually Su Liu's nominal mother. Her real surname is Zhang, and she later married into the Su family.

The General's Mansion is in the next city, not far from Xinghua Village.

Hearing his words, Su Liu was a little surprised and turned to ask Shen Luochen:
"Are you investigating her? Do you want to help me figure out her life story?"

She didn't expect that Shen Luochen would really take notice of her just by mentioning it casually, and would actually send someone to follow Su's mother in private.

Shen Luochen nodded and looked at Nineteen again:
"What is the relationship between the Zhang family and the General's Mansion? Have you found out?"

Nineteen nodded and replied:
"More than 20 years ago, Mrs. Zhang used to work as a maid in the General's Mansion, but for some unknown reason, she later moved out with her newborn daughter."

This newborn daughter should refer to Su Liu.

"Could it be that I was born in the General's Mansion?"

Su Liu felt very incredible, and at the same time, a bold guess appeared in her mind.

Nineteen was noncommittal. He was only responsible for investigating the past, but there was no way to speculate on the truth.

Until Shen Luochen also spoke and added:
"I remember that the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion was also born 20 years ago."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and as soon as the words fell, Su Liu took a breath of cold air.

"No, this is unlikely. She may have just picked up my daughter somewhere and planned to raise her and sell her for money."

Su Liu didn't dare to think about it further and could only speculate in another direction.

Shen Luochen looked at her with a complicated expression and asked Nineteen more:

"Why did Zhang go to the General's Mansion?"

"My subordinates are incompetent." Nineteen clasped his fists, shook his head and said:

"The General's Mansion is heavily guarded. My subordinates only saw Mrs. Zhang entering through the back door late at night every time, and would come out again soon without anyone else around her."

Shen Luochen frowned, thought for a while, and then said:
"Keep watching her. If you have any new information, tell me. Also, try to find out why she went to the general's mansion."

"Yes."

Nineteen nodded simply, then dodged again and disappeared into the night.

Su Liu and Shen Luochen were the only ones left in the courtyard. She had not recovered from the shock just now, and she didn't know what to say for a long time.

"This General Zhenyuan is straightforward, has great military achievements, and has a warm heart. He is a good person."

Shen Luochen was the first to speak, but he talked about the situation in the General's Mansion.

Su Liu didn't know the intention of his words, so he just smiled bitterly and said jokingly:
"Why do you know so much about the general? What is your background?"

According to what she saw, Shen Luochen not only knew the situation in Prince Xian's Mansion, but now he could also say a few words about the General's Mansion. She really became more and more suspicious that he was a member of the royal family.

Could it be that he was actually a certain prince who lost the battle for the right to inherit the throne, so he hid in this small village?
She was thinking wildly in her mind, and Shen Luochen patted her head gently, interrupting her thoughts.

"I said I will tell you my identity when necessary."

Su Liu stuck out his tongue and couldn't help but curse. He had been so mysterious all day, and he probably wasn't planning any good things. "If you really have something to do with the General's Mansion, what are you going to do? If you want to go back, I can help you."

Shen Luochen asked again, with a hint of probing in his tone.

Unexpectedly, Su Liu shook his head very simply.

"It's not necessary. Let's not talk about whether this is reliable or not. Haven't I been doing this for the past 20 years?"

After saying that, a bright smile suddenly broke out on her face:

"And my life is pretty good now. I have my own store and can play with my children!"

She didn't notice that when she said these words, the corners of Shen Luochen's mouth also secretly curved with a subtle arc, and there was a trace of relief in his eyes when he looked at her.

A breeze blew by, and there was a "rustling" sound, which made the atmosphere at this time even quieter and more peaceful.

But neither of them expected that this calm would soon be broken.

Late at night, Su Liu was sleeping soundly when someone suddenly shook his shoulders several times.

She suddenly woke up and saw Nineteen's face in front of her.

"Madam! There is danger! Come with me!"

Nineteen's expression was one of anxiety she had never seen before. He seemed to be injured, and blood was oozing from his left shoulder.

Then she heard a crisp collision sound coming from outside, the sound of weapons meeting each other, and the sound of fighting.

"What's going on?" She suddenly turned over and got out of bed, ready to go out to check the situation.

"Madam, no." Nineteen grabbed her tightly from behind.

"Let go, I'll be fine." Su Liu turned her head anxiously. She was confident in her skills.

"Ma'am, please don't embarrass your subordinates. This is an order."

Nineteen knelt down with a pop and stood in front of her.

Su Liu was silent for a second, then sighed softly and stretched out her hand to help him up.

"What's going on outside now?"

She looked out through the crack in the window and saw about a dozen secret guards standing in the yard, blocking the front of the house to prevent the enemy from approaching.

Shen Luochen was also among them, holding a long sword and fighting with the opponent with neat movements, and the fight was inseparable.

"Madam, the master wants me to take you and the children away first."

Nineteen stood behind her and whispered to her.

Although Su Liu wanted to rush to the yard to help immediately, but thinking of the children, he had to grit his teeth, nodded and said:
"Take me to see the children first."

The three dolls had also been awakened by other secret guards a long time ago, and now they were hiding in the next room. When they saw Su Liu, they rushed towards her as if they were relatives.

"Sister Xiaoliu, who are they? So scary!"

Several dolls had never seen such a posture before, and they were all scared to tears.

They had never seen a secret guard, nor did they know that there were enemies. They were completely confused about the situation in front of them.

In order to prevent them from crying, the secret guards had been covering their mouths with their hands, which made them even more frightened.

Su Liu made a silencing gesture to several children, who immediately shut up.
