In actuality, Xiao Tong, who said that others were children, was only fifteen years old this year, and his master, Shangguan Lin, was only twelve years old. In this era, if a man was twelve, he could be engaged and if he was fourteen, he could be engaged. However, in most cases, he would still have to wait until he was sixteen or seventeen before he could truly marry. In a rich family, a youth this age was still a child in the eyes of his parents.

In the royal family, however, four or five years old children would have to die for their future position, let alone twelve or thirteen years old. Shangguan Lin thought of his siblings and sneered in his heart. He was really envious of these farmers' children. Even if they lived a somewhat bitter life, they could at least talk and laugh when they worked hard in the farmlands. However, to him, these were always extravagant hopes.

A dart flew towards Shangguan Lin's head from afar. Shangguan Lin had learnt martial arts since he was young, so when he felt the evil wind behind his head, he immediately dodged and dodged. At this time, Xiao Tong did not pay much attention and was hit by the flying dart all of a sudden. "It's a good thing that he's wearing a cloth crown, he just knocked it off. Even so, she's still covered in cold sweat from fright." There was an assassin! Protect the prince! "

As a prince and the son of a imperial concubine, Shangguan Lin naturally had his own bodyguards and secret guards. He didn't want to come so easily, but it was extremely difficult to leave.

Zheng Liang held onto the assassin, and the first thing he did was to stuff something into the assassin's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide. The assassin knew that he wouldn't gain anything from being captured, but there was nothing he could do. He could only stare at Zheng Liang, as if he was going to bleed out of the corners of his eyes.

At this time, Shangguan Lin had already tidied up the messy clothes and walked in front of the assassin. You don't need to speak. You just nod or shake your head. But did the Third Prince send you? "

The Assassin refused to respond, and Zheng Liang slashed his arm with his sword. Blood started to flow out of the wound, and the smell was unpleasant.

Shangguan Lin was not angry, and did not get a reply, he continued to ask: "Then let me ask you, is the empress going to pinch your family members?"

After saying this, the assassin's expression immediately changed. His eyes showed both fear and despair.

Seeing that, Shangguan Lin sighed: "Truthfully, there is no difference between you and me. They were just chess pieces that could be manipulated by anyone. If you don't kill me, then I'll kill you. In the end, the culprit remained out of the picture. You and I are so sad. Forget it. I'll let you go. Whether or not I can save your family depends on your own abilities. Just a little bit, if I were to catch hold of you a second time, I will not let you off so easily. "

Xiao Tong said unwillingly: "Master! How can you let him go! If you weren't so skilled, he would have already succeeded! "

Zheng Liang obviously did not agree with his master's way of doing things, "Master, Xiao Tong is right. This is equivalent to releasing the tiger back into the mountain! "

Shangguan Lin smiled slightly, but the smile on the little youngster's face seemed to contain boundless sorrow: "If I don't release him, he won't be the only one to die, and his entire family would also be young. There was no need for that. Let him go. In the future, just take precautions. " At this point, he looked at the assassin. If you want to, you'd better go far away in the future. If you only want to do this for the sake of your so-called title and wealth, this prince will be waiting for you to kill him. "

Let the assassin go. Shangguan Lin's expression immediately changed. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

When Xiao Tong saw Master's smile, he knew that there must have been more to the matter just now. "Mistress, is there any intention in letting him go?"

Shangguan Lin looked at him: "For people like you who have already been abandoned by the empress, killing them would not be of any value at all. It would be better to let him return. Perhaps he might be of some use. "

Xiao Tong's eyes lit up: You mean the opposite?

Shangguan Lin dusted off the dust on his clothes, "He is only an assassin, what meaning does the mortal world have? It was just to let the empress feel unhappy. That alone was enough. As for whether he will be able to survive after we return, that will all depend on his luck. "

"Zheng Liang ran back at this moment. Master, the assassin kowtowed at you from the foot of the mountain. I'm a long way off, and although I can't hear what he's saying, I think he's a man of his word. "

Shangguan Lin laughed: "So that's why, in this world, no one knows where people can be useful. Why do you have to kill everything? I just want to do more good deeds. "

Zheng Liang did not quite understand what Shangguan Lin meant, but seeing that Xiao Tong was smiling along with him, he reacted for a moment, and roughly understood what Master meant. You've already guessed it? "

"Why guess?" The post office has always been a watertight business. The person who was sent out to assassinate us was the one who took away our entire family's lives. "

Zheng Liang was speechless, "That's true. He was too ruthless and many people were afraid of her. "

"Forget it." Don't bring up this matter anymore. Since the Lou family sent someone to kill me, it means that they know that I was the one who wrote the letter. If his plan failed, there would be another. Recently, all of you have to be more cautious and not let them have any opportunities to attack you. "

In the farmland at the bottom of the mountain, Su Xinyu was frowning as she looked at the thorns in her palm.

"Dogman came over and blew on it." One blow and it will stop hurting. "

Su Xinyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could she be in a daze because of this? Instead, he heard someone shouting from the other side of the mountain. She grew up eating Spirit Spring s and fruits and vegetables with spirit energy. Her five senses had been sharper than others ever since she was young. Although her body had changed. But there was still space, and these feelings came with her. She was certain that something had happened on the mountain. That was why she was slightly shocked. "Hearing what Dogman said, she could only use this as an excuse." There's no way to embroider it with calligraphy anymore. "

The Tian Family grounds were coincidentally right next to the Madam Liu's, so when the Madam Soong saw that the little girl was injured, she hurriedly ran over. Oh my poor little boy, why did you prick so many grass thorns? Your little hands shouldn't be making these things. Gou Zi, hurry up and bring the little girl back to your grandpa. After washing your hands, apply the medicine. Otherwise, I really can't use embroidery to write. "

At this time, the Madam Liu also realized that something was up and hurried over to take a look, causing her to feel extremely pained. Little Ancestor, eh. Listen to Seventh Grandmother and quickly go back and do some housework for your mother. How can you do the work in this field? She would be able to get a rough grip on it. "Then there's no way to embroider it."

To be honest, Su Xinyu had done farming before. But she hadn't done it that many times, and it was always her father who had the upper hand. She was doing it no different from what she was doing now. However, she was a twenty-something year old adult and would never let herself get hurt. However, things were different now. No matter how careful she was, she couldn't avoid these collisions. It was impossible for him, who had the Spirit Spring, to grow cocoons and become rough. "However, based on the current situation, these adults will not allow me to continue." It's just a little bit painful. "

"The Madam Liu does not care so much." A little pain was also a little pain. "Forget it, I'll take you to bandage your hands."

Madam Soong hurriedly said: "Quickly, go. I'll show you the work in the field. "

The Madam Liu nodded: "Everyone is familiar with each other, let's help take care of them. Then get busy. I'll take the kids back first. "

Su Xinyu followed beside Madam Liu and said helplessly, "Seventh Grandmother, I'm really fine. Big Brother Gou Zi's hands are already wounded, he didn't even apply any medicine. "

Madam Liu frowned: "He is a boy, and in the future he will have to live as a family member. Originally, his family's territory was to be inherited by the two of them. If he didn't learn it early, how could he do it? But you are different. You are a girl, and the first daughter of the High Scholar. Not a peasant woman. You don't have to do the work yourself. I didn't take you to the fields to show you how the farm work was done. It was to let you know how to work, so that when the future came, you wouldn't be fooled by others. It's not about getting you to do rough work. "

Even though a woman's life was still restricted, in this world, if a man did not work, he had to be fed by a woman. That was something even more humiliating than slapping himself in the face or cursing at his mother. However, Su Xinyu felt that the little girl's father was not too far away from her father. He was just biting off the old man previously, and in the future, he would have to rely on her mother to sell his embroidery to earn money. After all, the Chow Dalang couple had already told Zhou Tian and the Wu family that since Zhou Shitou was already at the age of marriage, they had to save up some money for him to get married. For this reason, the old couple naturally had no way of refuting it. Therefore, the amount of money Zhou Tian could get every month was naturally less as well. If his mother could give him the money at this time, he definitely wouldn't relax.

"Thinking of this, Su Xinyu's mood became bad. Seventh Grandmother, tell me, will I be able to earn a lot of money by myself in the future? "

Madam Liu was startled, then laughed out loud: "Silly girl. How was this a question of whether or not it was possible? It was that the woman, other than having to work as an embroidery worker, could only go to the back of the house to work as a servant and cook for others. "As a future young lady of the Shangguan family, you only hope that your father can become a high official and find a good husband in the future."

Su Xinyu instinctively frowned. "But this girl also has a lot of things she wants to do."

Madam Liu sighed, and patted the little girl's head: "As women, we can only teach each other, how can we have any more demands. He only wished to have a husband that he knew well. That way, he could be considered to have completed half of his life. Another child who is considerate and filial would be perfect. "

"But …" Not everyone regards feelings as the most important thing like you. Women do not rely on love and marriage to breathe. But she also knew that she couldn't tell the Madam Liu her thoughts. It wasn't that she didn't understand, but that there was no way to understand it. Therefore, Su Xinyu could only choose to shut her mouth.

"Madam Liu bent over and picked Su Xinyu up. Little girl, Seventh Grandmother knows that you have a lot of fresh ideas. I also know that you don't want to go back to your grandparents to suffer. You know even more that you want your mother to be able to stand proud of herself. But all of this could not go against common sense. Once you cross it, the result will be complete annihilation. "

Su Xinyu was very surprised. Hearing Madam Liu's words, he felt like she had been seen through for a moment. But in an instant, she felt like she wouldn't. "Thus, she made a small test." Seventh Grandmother, the little girl was just afraid. That time, the girl had a dream. She dreamt of herself floating in the air and seeing her mother being beaten up by them until she was covered in blood. "Little girl is scared."

Madam Liu hurriedly covered Su Xinyu's mouth. Her heart was filled with fear as well. You can't say that outside. Remember, you can't tell a third person either. "

Su Xinyu could tell from one look that Madam Liu did not believe that the little girl had stopped breathing before. However, since she still doted on him so much and protected him and her mother everywhere, this intention of hers was even more precious. Seventh Grandmother, don't worry. All girls understand. I won't cause trouble for you and Mom, or for myself. "
