Let Her Go (Second Update)

[Recite the URL three times silently. Do you remember it? If not, I will ask again in the next chapter. It would be best if you can share it on Facebook for me]

Ten miles outside the capital of Gan State, there is a high mountain called Wangxiang Mountain.

It is said that a tragic war took place here a hundred years ago. Soldiers far away from their homeland died at the foot of the mountain and could never return home again. Their bodies were buried high up in the mountain, looking at their hometown from afar, hence the name.

Today, there is a huge stone on the top of the mountain, engraved with many names that have been blurred by wind and rain. It is the Wangxiang Stone.

As the sun rose, the thick fog in the mountain gradually dissipated. Su Liang stopped halfway up the mountain with a basket.

It was cold in spring, and the grass and trees had not grown yet. Only the pine trees struggling to grow in the gray-black cracks of the stone could be seen sporadically.

In a cemetery, Su Liang found a stone tablet engraved with "Su Yuanzhou's Tomb". He put down the basket and wiped the dust off the tablet with a handkerchief.

The sun illuminated half of Su Liang's face, and the cold wind blew on her face, and she suddenly felt a sense of sadness in her heart.

Su Yuanzhou had not returned to his hometown for many years, but he always missed it, otherwise he would not have kept sending money and things to Su Daqiang's family, fearing that they were not living well.

Unfortunately, there was no return date.

Unfortunately, he did not know that the relatives he was worried about were a group of jackals. His only granddaughter who returned to his hometown was killed by the so-called relatives he had fattened up.

Su Liang did not bring paper money, so she took out the wine and food in the basket, placed it in front of Su Yuanzhou's tombstone, put chopsticks on it, poured a glass of wine, and sprinkled it on his tombstone.

When Su Liang turned around, she saw Ning Jing standing in front of another smaller tombstone not far away.

She walked over, and it was indeed "Su Liang's Tomb".

"Will there be bones in it?" Su Liang asked.

Ning Jing asked, "Do you want to dig it up?"

Su Liang shook his head, "No, I'll go ask the fifth prince directly, he should know best."

There is no grave of the original owner's parents here, because they died in a foreign land when the original owner was very young. Su Liang even only knew that the original owner's father was named Su Hongzhao, and he didn't know his mother's origin.

Before Su Liang left, he bowed deeply to the Su family's cemetery and swore silently in his heart: If you died unjustly, I will definitely find out the truth and give you justice.

On the way down the mountain, Su Liang asked Ning Jing, "If I go directly to the fifth prince's mansion, will Duanmu Che meet me?"

Ning Jing shook his head, "I don't know."

"But if you sneak in secretly, it's too rude." Su Liang sighed, "Forget it, I'll go to the door and see if he knows it's me. Will he meet me."

The fifth prince Duanmu Che has little presence in the royal family.

But as smart as the fourth prince Duanmu Chen is, he did not underestimate Duanmu Che.

It can be seen that Duanmu Che is not just a sickly prince.

Su Liang thought about it and finally decided to visit openly.

Asked Ning Jing, he still said he would not go.

…

The Fifth Prince's Mansion is not far from the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and the surrounding environment is quieter.

In broad daylight, the vermilion door was closed, and no one was around.

Su Liang went forward and knocked on the door, and waited for a while before hearing footsteps inside. Then the door opened, and a short and fat old man saw Su Liang and his expression changed!

This person knows me... Su Liang thought.

The door was about to open, and the old man did not speak, just frowned and looked at Su Liang, waiting for her to speak first.

"My surname is Su, and my given name is Liang. I would like to see His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince." Su Liang's attitude was very polite.

The old man's face sank, and he retreated back into the door and closed the door heavily!

Su Liang frowned and heard the old man's voice coming from inside, "Miss, wait a moment, let me report to the master!"

Su Liang was thinking, maybe this old man knew about her leaving Beijing? Think she shouldn't come back?

Su Liang stood outside the Fifth Prince's Mansion and waited quietly. The old man's behavior made her feel that meeting Duanmu Che might not be so smooth.

...

The old man hurried into the back garden and saw the wheelchair not far away. He took a deep breath, slowed down and walked over, "Master."

A small falcon with a white head, brown wings, white tail and white legs stood on the shoulder of the man in the wheelchair. He heard the sound and flew away.

"The one who came is the granddaughter of Doctor Su. The master sent me to send Miss Su Liang back to Sujia Village in the north. I don't know when she returned to the capital." The old man reported.

The wheelchair did not move. After a moment of silence, a deep voice sounded, "Let her go."

The old man sighed deeply, but he did not seem surprised. "I will let her go now and tell her not to come again."

...

When the door opened, Su Liang looked over and saw the old man standing inside the door, only showing his head. He said with a stern face, "Please leave quickly, young lady, and never come again!"

After saying that, he did not give Su Liang a chance to speak and closed the door again.

Su Liang, who was turned away, turned around and left.

When the old man saw Duanmu Che again, he got a task to check whether Su Liang had seen Xiao Muyun after returning to Beijing.

The old man did not know where Su Liang was, so he checked Xiao Muyun's whereabouts and soon came back to report that Su Liang and Xiao Muyun had met at Wanjia Restaurant yesterday and stayed alone in a private room for half an hour.

…

Su Liang returned home, thought about it, and decided to write a letter to Duanmu Che, telling him about her amnesia, stating the purpose of returning to Beijing, and hoping that he could provide clues to investigate the cause of death of the Su family.

After writing the letter, Su Liang went to the Fifth Prince's Mansion again, knocked on the door, stuffed the letter through the crack of the door, and left.

As long as Duanmu Che saw it, he might meet her next time.

After Su Liang left, the letter was picked up by the old man and sent to Duanmu Che. The order he received was: burn the letter. He didn't want to hear Su Liang's name again, and he would not care about her life or death.

...

Su Liang went to give acupuncture to Qin Laoguogong on time. His health was getting better. He smiled at Su Liang and said "thank you" indistinctly.

"Old man, relax and take good care of yourself. You will get better." Su Liang smiled gently.

After Su Liang left Qin Guogong's mansion, he "ran into" Xiao Muyun soon.

Xiao Muyun was stunned when he saw Su Liang wearing a plain long skirt, riding on the horse with a straight back, and looking heroic.

But before he could say anything, Su Liang turned the horse's head and disappeared in a flash.

When she returned home, she went to fight Ning Jing.

The two fought for a few rounds in the martial arts arena and then stopped. Ning Jing said that Su Liang had been distracted too much after coming to Beijing and was slack in martial arts training. There was still a part of the progress that had been arranged before that had not been completed. The martial arts selection would soon come, but he was not focused enough.

Su Liang nodded in approval of Ning Jing's criticism, but said, "I don't know if Duanmu Che has seen my letter and whether he will meet me."

Ning Jing frowned, "Su Liang."

"Ah?" Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "I heard what you just said, and I will definitely practice martial arts seriously next time."

"Not next, but now." Ning Jing walked to the plum blossom pile he specially set up not far away, "Come here."

After a while, Ning Jing stood on a wooden pile in the middle and hooked his hand at Su Liang, "Come up and knock me down."

Su Liang calmed down, jumped onto a wooden pile not far from Ning Jing, and punched him.

The two fought on the plum blossom pile, Ning Jing's feet did not move at all, and only used the upper body to fight Su Liang.

Su Liang wandered around Ning Jing, changing many moves, but he easily resolved them all.

Until Su Liang gave up in the end, Ning Jing still stood steadily on the wooden stake, calm and composed.

"Master, I was wrong." Su Liang said that she had indeed been running around recently and had not calmed down to practice, and her condition was not good.

Although even if she had not slacked off at all, she would not be Ning Jing's opponent.

"Do you think that Duanmu Chen deliberately asked you to return to Beijing just to deal with Duanmu Ao?" Ning Jing landed and looked at Su Liang and asked.

Su Liang shook his head, "Duanmu Ao, that pervert, didn't have much ability to hinder Duanmu Chen. What he really wanted to deal with was the prince. The prince and Duanmu Ao are brothers from the same mother."

"Not only that." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang stared, "Do you mean, there is also... Duanmu Che? Duanmu Chen specifically talked to me and asked me to find Duanmu Che."

"Why didn't Duanmu Che see you?" Ning Jing asked.

Su Liang thought for a moment and said, "If he had arranged for me to escape, he would have hoped that I would hide in my hometown and never return to the capital. He would think that this was a stupid act of suicide?"

"He may not read your letter, and he may not believe it even if he reads it." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang sighed, "But perhaps only from him can we get clues."

"When you succeed in the martial arts exam, he will find you." Ning Jing said.

Su Liang's expression became serious, "Yes. Duanmu Chen obviously has ulterior motives. It is better to slow down what he wants me to do. As for Duanmu Che, I have to prove that I can really avenge the Su family with my strength, otherwise it will be useless no matter how much I say. When dealing with people in the royal family, you must have bargaining chips first, otherwise you will only become a pawn. Next, I will practice in seclusion. After that, you will help me to give acupuncture to Qin Laoguogong every day?"

Ning Jing nodded. He has learned acupuncture.

Seeing Ning Jing was about to leave, Su Liang called him, then stood on the wooden stake that Ning Jing had stood on before, and beckoned to him, "Come here."
