Chu Tao brought the items back to Su Yan’s side and reported Su Qiao’s reaction to Su Yan word by word. She wanted to make Su Yan happy.

Su Yan really did not expect Chu Tao to force Su Qiao to this extent. She just wanted to disgust Su Qiao. She did not expect Chu Tao to have such foresight.

Looking at the items that Chu Tao brought back, Su Yan casually let Chu Tao settle them once again. She would never use these things that had been used by Su Qiao again. She felt disgusted just seeing them.

“Miss, Madam is awake.” Chun Xia suddenly walked in and said.

Just now, Madam Su suddenly fainted out of desperation. Master Su had gone out again. Su Yan did not know what was going on right now. She was anxious, but for now, it was more important to stabilize Madam Su’s heart.

“Mother, how are you feeling now?” Su Qiao quickly walked to Madam Su’s bedside and asked with concern.

Upon seeing her daughter, Madam Su’s emotions, which had just stabilized, wavered again. She was so shocked by today’s incident that she had already fainted. Her precious daughter still did not know how scared she was.

“Su Yan, mom is fine. Your grandpa will be fine too. Don’t be afraid.” Madam Su comforted and stroked Su Yan’s head. Just like when she was young, whenever Su Yan was scared, Madam Su would always pat her head like this.

Su Yan felt a lump in her throat, but she managed to calm herself down. Her father was not around, and she could not let anything happen to her mother before the matter was settled.

“Mother, father and grandfather knew about this a long time ago. They also knew that there would be soldiers coming to investigate. This was all part of our plan.”

Su Yan could only comfort madam Su with half-truths. Moreover, she was not lying to Madam Su. This was the most likely possibility at the moment.

It did not make sense that they knew about the enemy’s plot in advance, but they still fell for it. She believed that her grandfather and father would definitely have a way to survive this crisis.

“Really?” Madam Su looked at Su Yan suspiciously. She did not even know about this, so how did Su Yan Know?

“It’s true. It was like this at the beginning…”

In order to gain Madam Su’s trust, Su Yan told Madam Su everything that happened after she found out that something was wrong with Su Qiao.

“Okay, so you’re just hiding it from me.” Seeing that Su Yan did not seem to be lying, madam Su finally felt relieved. She pointed at Su Yan’s forehead and scolded her with a smile.

“Of course not. It was father who said not to tell you. He said not to let you worry for no reason. Dad dotes on mom the most.”

Su Yan’s playfulness made Madam Su Blush. She was really lucky to have a husband who loved her and a daughter who was so obedient.

After Su Yan had calmed Madam Su down, her expression fell the moment she stepped out of Madam Su’s courtyard. Although she trusted her grandfather and father in her heart, she could not help but let her imagination run wild.

Could it be that even if she were to be reborn, she would not be able to change the fate of the Su family?

Then what was the use of such a rebirth? No, the heavens would not be so cruel. They only wanted her to be reborn so that she could walk such a path filled with despair again.

Three days passed, but her father still had not returned. However, someone from the Gu residence had come. Su Yan had experienced this scene in her previous life. She knew what the person from the Gu residence meant. He had come to break off the engagement.

“Madam Su, the old master of the Su residence has committed such a crime. Our Gu residence would not dare to marry you again. This is the engagement document from before. Break off the engagement now.”

Su Yan heard this sentence as soon as she entered the main hall. The Gu family had an old woman. Her attitude was unusually arrogant.. It was completely different from when she came to the Su family to ask for an engagement.
