Chapter 31 The Truth Comes Out
It seemed that he didn't intend to tell the truth to himself. No wonder, it was not easy for this old fox to let his guard down completely.Nangong Ling knew in his heart that he would not be able to tell anything today, and if he asked any more, it would arouse suspicion, so he simply said: "In this case, then uncle should rest early, and I will leave first."

"Wait." King De hesitated for a while, and finally opened his mouth tentatively, "How do you report to the emperor about today's matter?"

"How does uncle want me to report back?"

"After all, it's a private matter of the mansion, not to mention my two unworthy sons are involved. The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, so can this matter not alarm the emperor?"

Nangong Ling was silent for a while, and finally nodded.It seemed that he was afraid that the matter would become a big investigation, and then his rebellion would be involved.

Seeing that he agreed, King De finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, it's so late, you should rest first." Yin He stood by the table with a lamp in his hand, waiting beside Su Ruiran, as if he was afraid that she would be worried, and said, "Miss, don't worry, the servant will guard the door Besides, the lady will come in as soon as the maidservant is called."

Su Ruiran didn't speak, so she wasn't worried about it.If Yan Shi and the others really want to plot against themselves, then there will naturally be a way to dismiss Yin He, just like today.

And the reason why she didn't sleep was because she knew that someone else would come to her soon.

"Yin He, go and have a look outside the door."

Hearing her order, Yin He showed doubts: "It's already so late, who else will come?"

Su Ruiran didn't answer her, but said: "Just wait, when the time comes, the person who should come will come, and you will know who it is."

"Yes." Yin He ignited another candlestick and went outside the door with it. As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into a person outside the door, and was startled.

But he quickly saw who the person outside was by the light of the fire, and he was even more surprised: "Master? Why are you here?"

Su Chao walked in without saying a word.

He was wearing a black cloak, and walking in the middle of the night was indeed unobtrusive.

Su Ruiran got up, not surprised: "Daddy."

Su Chao took off the cloak and put it on the table, and told Yin He: "Go and watch outside."

"Yes." Yin He went out hurriedly, how dare she refuse to obey the master's instructions.

"Daddy, sit down." Su Ruiran said, picking up the tea that had been left to dry on the table, "Daddy is also tired, let's have a sip of tea first."

Su Chao took two sips of tea: "You know I'm coming."

"Thanks to Daddy's concealment of what happened today, he saved his daughter's face and innocence, and saved her from many troubles."

Su Chao put down the tea bowl and put it on the table: "Then you should tell me the truth now, what happened today?"

Su Ruiran was silent. In fact, ever since she was waiting for Su Chao's arrival, she had been hesitant to tell her father the truth.

Dad's current position in the court is not yet clear, should we tell him about King De's rebellion?If you don't tell, how can you and Nangong Ling explain it?After all, he was caught by his father, and he was seriously injured and hid in his bed.

"Rui Ran, you won't lie."

Hearing what Su Chao said, Su Ruiran felt even more hesitant.

Do you want to say it or not?
After waiting for a while but she didn't speak, Su Chao simply said, "Actually, I can guess if you don't tell me whether the assassination incident tonight is related to Nangong Ling?"

"Daddy." Su Ruiran was a little surprised.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. He was wounded and hid in your bed. It was obviously his back. And the arrow that De Wang stabbed at the assassin's back, not to mention the one that De Wang stabbed right now. The arrow is actually in the hands of Nangong Ling, isn't all this enough to explain the problem?"

Su Ruiran bit her lip, not knowing whether to admit it or not for a moment.

How wise is Daddy, as expected all this cannot be hidden from his eyes.

Just what to do?

Things were exposed so quickly that she lost her mind for a while.

However, at this moment, Su Chao suddenly changed the subject: "But Rui Ran, I don't care about King De and Nangong Ling. After all, this is a matter between men. The only thing I want to know is the relationship between you and Nangong Ling." , is there any?"

"No, nothing." Su Ruiran was taken aback, and hurriedly explained, "He just hid in his daughter's room, and my daughter didn't know about the assassin, she only took him in when she saw that he was seriously injured."

"Is it true?"

Su Ruiran nodded quickly: "Of course, no matter how ignorant my daughter is, how could she do something out of the ordinary to embarrass her father?"

Su Chao nodded, even so, Su Ruiran couldn't tell from his expression whether he really believed what he said.

"In this case, let's pretend that this incident never happened. It's getting late, so I'll go back first." Su Chao got up and took the clothes on the table, put them on his body, and was about to leave. When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Su Rui. Ran said, "Rui Ran, let me remind you again, no matter what the reason is, don't have any contact with Nangong Ling again. This person is not something you, a woman, can handle."

"Daughter understands." In fact, if it wasn't for the coincidence of so many things, she wouldn't want to have any contact with Nangong Ling.When he directly finds a way to get the jade pendant, it will be regarded as completely cutting off contact with him.

After Su Chao left, Yin He came in from the outside with a worried face.

Su Ruiran naturally knew what she was worried about. Although Yan Shi lost this time, she would never let herself go so easily.However, compared with Nangong Ling and King De's attempt to rebel, the Yan family is indeed not a big problem.

But it's really annoying to always be like this, and one day it will be impossible to prevent and fall into their trap, so I have to find a way to completely cut off this kind of trouble.

"Yin He, you don't have to worry." She said this suddenly, but Yin He couldn't figure it out, "Miss, I don't understand what you said."

"It's nothing, it's getting late, I'm going to rest." She thought Yan Shi would be merciless if someone came to take her innocence, which is enough to show that she would also be merciless if she had the opportunity to take her own life. In this way, I don't need to talk about affection, but this matter needs to be well planned.

The ten-day birthday banquet was originally planned, but it was shortened to eight days because of the assassin's incident.

On the eighth day, Su Chao left the palace with his family.Before that, Nangong Ling and Nangong Che had already left. The reason why Su Chao came to the end was because he had a private conversation with King De before leaving.

Back at the mansion, Su Chao called Su Ruiran to the study.

"Is there anything Daddy wants me to do?" Just now when he returned home, Su Ruiran knew that Daddy would not be in such a hurry to find him if he was tired from the car all the way.

When Su Ruiran arrived, the servants in the study had already been called out, so when Su Ruiran came, Su Chao said to her directly: "Ruiran, do you know what Prince De said to me when I left the palace today?" ?”

Su Ruiran felt a little strange, and shook her head: "My daughter doesn't know."

"Actually, this matter is also related to you."

"It's related to me?" Su Ruiran was a little confused, "Please tell Dad clearly."

Su Chao clasped the table with his right index finger, sized her up and said, "Prince De asked me to marry her, and wanted you to marry her eldest son, who is Nangong Cheng."

"What!" Su Ruiran was taken aback, how could King De suddenly bring up this matter.

Su Chao was not surprised to see her expression, and continued: "I know this incident is a bit sudden, but King De intends to make Nangong Cheng his son, so it would be a good choice for you to marry Nangong Cheng."

good choice?How did dad know that De Wang intends to rebel.And this matter has already been heard by Nangong Ling, so it will soon reach the ears of the emperor.Although there is no evidence that can't help King De for the time being, for Nangong Ling and his "stabs", it is only a matter of time before they find criminal evidence.

What's more, she also heard the conversation at that time. Hearing what King De meant, she was probably planning to do it soon.

And if he married Nangong Cheng at this time, wouldn't he be committing suicide?
It's just that you can't easily say about the treason, and you can't tell your father easily, otherwise you can't explain how you know it.

Su Chao said: "Although Nan Gongcheng is favored by King De, he has no future, no courage and no plan. I don't like him either."

Su Ruiran heard that this was in the middle of her heart, and nodded quickly: "What Daddy said is very true, how can a daughter marry such a person? Even if it is a son, so what, if a daughter wants to marry, she must marry a hero who is as capable as Daddy."

Su Chao laughed when he heard it: "You girl can talk."

"My daughter is telling the truth, and my father doesn't want my daughter's lower body to be entrusted to a coward."

"That's true." Su Chao nodded, but before Su Rui could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard Su Chao say, "Although Nan Gongcheng is useless, King De's other son is pretty good."

Nangong Mingxuan!Su Ruiran was even more surprised when she heard what her father said, even more surprised than when she heard King De beg for marriage just now.

In the previous life, my father clearly looked down on Nangong Mingxuan's background. If he hadn't lost his innocence to cover up his family's ugliness, how could he have allowed himself to marry him.Why did father change his mind in this life?

I just heard Su Chao say: "Originally he was a concubine, and he was not liked by King De, and he will not be promising in the future. It's just today..." Thinking of today, even if his plot was exposed, Nangong Mingxuan was still able to deal with it calmly, and in the end he will endanger the future. Being able to do this is enough to prove that he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Just from what he did today, Su Chao admired him somewhat.

Su Ruiran looked at Su Chao's meaning, and seemed to be appreciating Nangong Mingxuan. She panicked and said hurriedly, "Father, although the third master is good, my daughter doesn't like people with deep palaces. My daughter only hopes to marry a Husband, then treat yourself with all your heart, not even the people next to your pillow."

As Su Ruiran spoke, she thought of her previous life again, and couldn't help clenching her fists.

"I just said it casually, if you don't like it, forget it. Why is my Su Chao's daughter worried about getting married? If you want to marry, it's best to marry."

Su Ruiran was also a little surprised to hear her father say that, but more moved: "Thank you, Dad."

I didn't even know it in my previous life. In fact, my father has always followed my wish for my marriage. Although I said that I married Nangong Mingxuan due to the current situation, I really like it, otherwise I'm afraid it will be embarrassing. Don't let yourself marry someone you don't like.

Although my father was angry with him that time, in the end he was still thinking of himself, otherwise how could he help Nangong Mingxuan.

Thinking of this, Su Ruiran was even more moved.

In this world, I still have such a real relative.

She didn't understand anything in the previous life, but in this life, she will never let her father be used by others because of herself.

"But Rui Ran, you are not young anymore, and it's time to get married."

"My daughter understands."
