After a night of tossing and turning, Su Leyun slowly fell asleep when the sky was slightly brighter.

"The young lady looks bad, but was she scared last night?"

In front of the bronze mirror, the little girl dressed her up and applied the gouache a little thicker.

Su Leyun looked lazy and let the little girl dress up.

"Where's Aunt Zhang?"

"There was a bandit last night, but they haven't been caught yet. The officials have sealed the city gates and are not allowed to go in or out. Nanny Zhang took the token and went to the local magistrate to ask if she could be accommodating and allow us to leave the city."

After last night, the little girl didn't dare to wait for Su Leyun any longer and answered her questions in detail.

Looking sideways at the falling snow flakes outside the window, Su Leyun recalled what happened last night.

They went to war for the King of Jin and even closed the city. They didn't know why. I think the King of Jin should have escaped by now...

That's all, it's a royal matter, so what does it have to do with her.

Smiling in relief, Su Leyun said slowly: "I think it's okay to stay here for a little longer."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nanny Zhang opened the door and came in. She shook off the snow flakes on her body and explained: "As the New Year is approaching, Madam hopes that you will go back early so that she can ask the clan leader to open an ancestral hall to write a family tree for you before the end of the year."

Only by being listed in the family tree can Su Leyun be regarded as the real legitimate daughter of the Suhou Mansion, and can she legitimately participate in the palace banquets and banquets held by other mansions during the New Year.

Mammy Zhang took the silver comb from the girl's hand and Xu Xu explained: "Madam wants to take advantage of the New Year's holiday when she is traveling around the provinces to clear your name so that you can gain a foothold in the high gates of the capital."

Su Leyun nodded to indicate that he understood, but his face said lightly: "Did Mr. Zhizhou agree?"

Mammy sighed and shook her head: "This old slave is useless."

"Then let's wait patiently. It just so happens that in these few days, grandma can talk more about family matters with me."

Su Leyun didn't care much. Except for her mother and brother, there was no one in the family she wanted to see.

"What the lady said is, as long as you can go back in time to celebrate the New Year."

Nanny Zhang was relieved, followed Su Leyun's wishes, sat down next to her, and talked about the Sun and Su families.

Six days later, a gorgeously decorated troika was leisurely walking on the bluestone road in the capital, with bells hanging from the four corners of the roof ringing.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the carriage, which was as warm as spring. New tea was brewing on the table, a copper stove was slowly smelling sandalwood, and several plates of pastries and preserves were not touched much.

"Miss, we are about to enter the mansion. Do you remember everything I have told you these days?"

Grandma Zhang asked worriedly.

Su Leyun nodded. In the past few days, Grandma Zhang had been talking to her about everyone and everything in the family, just to prevent her from showing her timidity in front of everyone.

"Don't worry, mama, I've remembered everything."

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage stopped suddenly. Unprepared for a moment, Su Leyun leaned forward and almost hit the burning incense burner.

Grandma Zhang hurriedly supported the person and looked up and down.

"Miss, did you hit somewhere?"

Su Leyun shook his head and straightened the crooked incense burner to show that he was fine.

Only then did Nanny Zhang feel relieved. She opened the curtain and said sternly: "How did you drive the car! If Miss, I'll see who can afford it!"

The coachman was from the Hou Mansion, and he repeatedly complained: "Mom, don't be angry, someone is making trouble up front, I didn't mean to startle the young lady."

The carriage stopped in front of the Kyoto Bridge. The officers and soldiers on the bridge seemed to be arresting someone. There were many people watching the excitement around, and the carriage could not pass.

Grandma Zhang frowned. If she wanted to enter the city, she had to cross the Kyoto Bridge. If she took a detour, she would have to walk more than half a day.

Just when I didn't know what to do, a familiar boy came running over.

"Nanny Zhang, the government knows that the bridge is difficult to cross, so they have sent a sedan to wait at the other end of the bridge. Please get off the car and take a few steps. Don't miss the time to return to the government."

Nanny Zhang turned around and got into the car, helping Su Leyun out of the car.

The breeze blew by, swaying the streamers on her skirt. Su Leyun looked down at the entire moat, and all kinds of feelings came to his heart.

In her previous life, she fell into the river inexplicably while walking on a bridge. She was rescued by Li Rui when she was desperate and helpless, and she has been obsessed with the destiny of marriage ever since. When she married into the Li family, the sedan chair also passed through this moat, which she recognized as a matchmaker.

Now that I think about it, it was all bad luck...

The lotus steps moved lightly, and Su Leyun carefully walked on the bridge, trying to walk as far as possible to avoid the recurrence of the scene in the previous life.

Halfway across the bridge, a group of children watching the excitement came over, pushing and fighting without hesitation. Su Leyun saw a girl who was unsteady on her feet and slammed into the bridge pillar.

This collision may result in a head injury or bleeding, or death in severe cases.

Without caring about anything else, Su Leyun hurriedly grabbed her. The little girl was okay. Before she could stand firmly, she was pushed over the fence by a hand and fell into the river.

Su Leyun looked back and happened to meet Xue Huan's proud eyes.

She is Su Wan'er's person, and I think she was the one who pushed her into the river in her previous life.

After all, her master didn't want her to go back safely...

The cold river water couldn't help pouring into her mouth and nose. Su Leyun thought vaguely that she still couldn't escape the fate of falling into the water in her next life. Would she have to be rescued by Li Rui again?

No, she has suffered all the hardships in her previous life, and she does not want to have any interaction with him in this life...

The feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger. Su Leyun opened her mouth wide and tried to breathe. More and more cold water poured in. Just when her eyesight turned black, a pair of warm palms wrapped around her waist.

Consciousness returned, his pupils suddenly opened wide, and a handsome and resolute face magnified before his eyes.

It's King Jin!

Why is he here?
