Dongfang Ruyan sighed tiredly. Her gaze gradually shifted away and her expression was sorrowful. “I’ve been persuading myself that I was overthinking. But when I saw you, Qianqian, you and your mother looked too similar. When I saw you, I felt like your mother had returned. So, I couldn’t hide the confusion in my heart anymore. Qianqian, I think your mother is still alive!”
“Madam…” Shen Duoyi looked at Dongfang Ruyan as if he couldn’t understand her stubbornness. In the end, he could only sigh.
“Alright. Since that’s the case, let’s get to the bottom of this.” Su Qian made a determined decision and decisively spoke.
“To get to the bottom of it? Miss Su, what do you intend to do?” Shen Duoyi asked as he looked at Su Qian uneasily.
Su Qian stood up and said with a firm gaze, “Get ready. Follow me out tonight.”
After saying that, Su Qian didn’t directly answer Shen Duoyi’s question. Instead, she turned around and left the room.
Qian Rong had been waiting outside the door the entire time. When she saw Su Qian walk out with a solemn expression, she immediately asked nervously, “Master, what did those two do? Why do you look like this?”
“Qian Rong, help me inform the Ninth Prince that I have something very important to attend tonight. Change the banquet with the Empress Dowager to tomorrow. Tomorrow night, I will personally apologize to the Empress Dowager.” After saying that, Su Qian turned to look at Qian Rong and continued, “Also, call San Yuan and the other hidden guards to accompany me tonight.”
“Yes…” Qian Rong was confused, not knowing what Su Qian wanted to do. Su Qian, on the other hand, had a cold expression on her face. Without giving Qian Rong a chance to ask, she quickened her pace and left.
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong.
Su Qian led Shen Duoyi and Dongfang Ruyan and more than a dozen hidden guards of the Su family headed toward the Green Dragon Mountain on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
Green Dragon Mountain was a burial ground for some prestigious families.
Among them, the Su family’s graves were located here. When Nangong Qingxue died, she was also buried on Green Dragon Mountain.
Easily rendering the grave keeper unconscious, Su Qian followed the information she had found out in advance and arrived at the mountainside of Green Dragon Mountain. Under an inconspicuous red maple tree, she found her mother’s grave.
It had been a long time since anyone had visited this place. The Su family didn’t value Nangong Qingxue, so the location of her grave wasn’t good. In the past, when people came to sweep her grave, they rarely came to help her. The tombstone was surrounded by fallen leaves and weeds. It was a mess.
“These damned Su family members actually treat Xue’er like this…” Dongfang Ruyan couldn’t help but choke up when she saw this.
This was the Su family’s cemetery. The Nangong family members weren’t allowed to trespass. Only Su family members served here. Who would have thought that the Su family members would treat her like this?
Su Qian squatted down and gently stroked Nangong Qingxue’s tombstone. Then, she immediately said, “Men, dig for me.”
The hidden guards led by San Yuan quickly moved forward, waving the shovels in their hands, and began to dig crazily.
Su Qian, Shen Duoyi, and Dongfang Ruyan stood at the side and watched nervously.
Soon, the shovels in San Yuan’s hands touched the hard coffin lid.
When the hidden guards saw this, they exerted more strength and finally dug out all the surrounding soil, revealing the coffin that had aged over the years.
Looking at the coffin, Su Qian couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
As long as she could see if her mother’s body was in the coffin, the truth would be revealed!
At the thought of this, Su Qian took a deep breath. “Open the coffin..”
