Chapter 1317: Chapter 1225: Recent DevelopmentsPS: Special note: the character Miaoyu in the previous Chapter should have been Xiren. Dou Dou got the name wrong and would like to apologize to everyone here.

Xiren’s eyes lit up, and she immediately stopped in her tracks. She was about to speak when a noise came from inside the house.

"Xiren, who are you talking to? Has Ning’er come back?"

It was the voice of Zhou’s mother.

Years ago, when Xiren and Zhou Ning took a fancy to each other, under Mrs. Su-Hua’s arrangement, they got married. Since then, they had welcomed two sons and a daughter, shared a loving marriage, supported and taught their children, and were devoted to Zhou’s mother, which made everyone envious.

"Shh!——"

Hidden in the darkness, Su Pan’er hurriedly whispered to Xiren, "Don’t say I’m here."

Xiren nodded, understanding Su Pan’er’s intention.

She quickly walked to the inner room, successfully blocking Zhou’s mother in the house: "Mother, it’s not that. Your daughter-in-law thought she heard the wind blowing the door open outside and thought it was the husband returning, so I came out to check. It’s nothing, Mother, your daughter-in-law is standing guard here, please go back and rest."

Their voices gradually quieted down, indicating they had returned to the house.

Due to frail health in her early years, Zhou’s mother’s body had aged rapidly in recent years, showing streaks of white in her hair.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Pan’er entered and

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but interrupt her again.

"Indeed, they had returned. However, when they came back, it was in the middle of the night, and my master instructed me not to disclose their whereabouts, so I never mentioned it to anyone else. Except for you, young lady... I never imagined that upon their return, they would not come back..."

Previously, people had come several times to ask Xiren about the whereabouts of Su Ke. But remembering Zhou Ning’s hasty instructions that night, she had not mentioned it to outsiders.

It was only now that Su Pan’er had come to her personally that she spoke of the matter.

"That night when Zhou Ning returned, was there anyone else with him? What was his look like? And where did he go? Please remember every detail and tell me everything," Su Pan’er asked carefully.

Xiren also answered earnestly.

"That night, my master came back very late, and I had already fallen asleep. Since he frequently went into Deicide Mountain for hunting and occasionally sustained minor injuries which were never of great consequence, their entry into the mountain that time had not drawn my attention..."

That night, Su Pan’er and Xiren talked for a long time before Su Pan’er quietly left her own house, climbed over the fence, and returned to Brother Zhang’s house where she was staying for the time being.

When she returned, the rooster had just crowed for the first time, and everyone at the Zhang Family had not yet gotten up.

Su Pan’er collapsed onto the bed, closed her eyes, and thought carefully about what Xiren had said. She fell asleep unknowingly.

Going to the dock for work at dawn, she found herself frequently distracted.

She had a strong intuition that the answers she was so diligently seeking were at this dock.

But how could Su Ke’s collection of remains at Deicide Mountain be related to this dock? Yet her intuition had never been wrong. What was the connection between the two?

Unable to find the key link inside, did she still need to continue doing labor at the dock?

What on earth could it be...

"Tch, what’s wrong?"

Someone suddenly slapped her shoulder.

Instinctively, Su Pan’er’s shoulder sank, dissipating the force of the slap. She abruptly came back to reality from her reverie.

"Brother Zhang."

"You lad! Are you uncomfortable or what? The last time I passed by carrying a heavy sack, you were daydreaming. I went back and came with another load, and you were still here daydreaming. Now I have come back another time and you still haven’t moved. Do you find this work too tiring and don’t want to continue? You should have said so earlier, Brother Zhang is the easiest to talk to..."

Brother Zhang rambled on.

But he was interrupted by Su Pan’er, "Brother Zhang, you’ve got it wrong. I’m just taking a rest because I’m too tired."
