After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 154 Great Reunion

During this trip to the prison, although the siblings didn't suffer any physical pain, Su Qingchun was terrified for a few days in the prison.

Now that I have finally returned, after seeing my relatives again, I am so excited that my hands and feet are shaking, and I can't even speak clearly.

Unlike him who was emotional outside, Su Miaozhen seemed much calmer. After entering the room, her eyes first fell on the table inside the room.

Food was placed on the table, and the Yao family was all here.

She lowered her eyelids to hide the resentment in her heart, but put on the same excited expression as Su Qingchun on her face, first greeted Liu and his wife, then greeted Yao Wanning and Yao Shouning, finally suppressed her disgust, and gave Yao Ruoyun a vain salute:
"Big cousin."

Liu Shi was dazzled by the surprise, she didn't feel Su Miaozhen's awkwardness and hidden resentment at all, and Yao Shouning's strange silence, she just pulled the two siblings enthusiastically and kept asking questions.

In fact, she went to the prison every three days, and she was very clear about the situation of the two siblings in the prison. Asking at this time, it was just a pleasure to talk to the two of them.

Su Qingchun's personality was shy and introverted, and she didn't answer many of her questions, but Su Miaozhen really didn't have the heart to chat with Liu Shi at this time.

Liu quickly realized the indifference, but didn't think much about it, she just thought that Su Miaozhen was physically and mentally haggard after going through this disaster, and also felt tired after returning home for the first time.

While ordering Fengchun to go to the kitchen to get people to add more food and prepare hot water, she even urged the two siblings to wash and change their clothes first, and said tearfully:

"Fortunately, the Chu family is still thinking about their old relationship. After this disaster, with Mr. Chu around, I think they won't make things difficult for you two again."

What she said puzzled the brothers and sisters of the Yao family, and Su Qingchun also couldn't figure it out. The only ones who knew the inside story were Liu Shi, Yao Hui, Mother Cao and Su Miaozhen.

Su Miaozhen lowered her head to conceal the indifference in her heart, nodded, pretended to be obedient and responded, and then listened to Liu Shi's confession before leaving the room with Su Qingchun.

After she came out, the smile on her face disappeared, she looked back at Liu's room, and then let out a cold 'hum'.

Su Qingchun went in without knowing it, and turned his head to look back, and saw that the house was brightly lit, Liu Shi and others were very happy, and the house was extremely lively.

He seemed to have also been infected by the excitement, and it was only now that he felt a sense of steadfastness, and his raised heart fell back to the original place.

Just now a small smile appeared on his face, before he could speak, he heard Su Miaozhen's cold snort.

"Sister..." Without knowing it, he called Su Miaozhen timidly.

At this time, Su Miaozhen's eyes were cold, her lips were tightly pursed, and both sides of her cheeks were tense, as if her teeth were clenched.

The light in the room shone on her face, making her complexion a bit ghastly pale, contrasting with the fact that the small scarlet mole on her forehead was particularly eye-catching, like a little blood about to drip.

"what happened?"

Su Miaozhen turned her head and asked him a question.

Facing this only younger brother, her expression showed a bit of gentleness, which made Su Qingchun feel that the coldness on her face earlier seemed to be his own illusion.

"You just..."

Su Qingchun hesitated for a while, but still asked out the doubts in his heart:
"Are you a little unhappy?"

"You read it wrong."

Su Miaozhen took a few steps forward, her body disappeared into the night, and said calmly:
"I'm not very happy. I saw a good show and I was very happy."

"What good show?"

She said she was happy, but Su Qingchun and her were close siblings, they grew up together, he always felt that Su Miaozhen's tone was not quite right.

But what was wrong, he couldn't tell, so he could only ask obediently.

She stopped, turned her head and smiled at Su Qingchun:

"Look, she pretended just now, as if she really cared about us, isn't it a good show?"

As soon as she said this, Su Qingchun was taken aback.

"Her? You, you mean aunt?"

"Yes."

Su Miaozhen pursed her lips and smiled, in front of her younger brother, she did not hide her inner hatred:

"I just can't understand their hypocrisy."

"What hypocrisy?"

For some reason, Su Qingchun felt that what his sister said made him very uncomfortable, so he reminded him in a low voice:
"Aunt just saved us..."

"Qingchun!"

Su Miaozhen yelled loudly:
"Stop saying things like that."

"Why did she save us?" She snorted coldly and told her brother:

"The one who saved us is obviously dad."

"father?"

Su Qingchun felt that she couldn't understand Su Miaozhen's words. Su Wenfang was thousands of miles away, so how could he save the siblings?

Seeing his younger brother's puzzled face, Su Miaozhen told him what happened when Liu's family visited the prison the day before yesterday, and mentioned the old relationship between Chu Shaolian and Su Wenfang who were eight worshippers.

"I guess, she may have gone to the Chu family to intercede in private, that's why our siblings were released."

To get to the bottom of the matter, it was also because of Su Wenfang's friendship in the past that made the two siblings escape from prison.

"But..." Su Qingchun was about to speak, but Su Miaozhen interrupted his voice again:

"But do you think she's interceding for us?"

"Hehe." She smiled coldly:
"I'm afraid she wants to take advantage of her father's relationship to cling to the people of the Chu family, so she can't wait to curry favor. Saving us is just a matter of chance."

Due to the memories of her previous life, she had an extremely bad impression of Mrs. Liu. At this time, she didn't think Mrs. Liu was so good at all, but speculated about this elder from the worst angle.

Su Qingchun frowned, somewhat disapproving of her words, but under Su Miaozhen's excited attitude at this time, she didn't make a sound.

He is used to being cowardly and never dared to argue with others, especially at this time when Su Miaozhen was emotionally agitated, she just kept silent.

"You saw that we were locked in the prison, fearful, but her family was reunited in the house." Su Miaozhen became more and more annoyed as she spoke, and her voice gradually became louder.

She didn't notice that her younger brother, who she thought had always been weak and incompetent, clenched his fists and then released them, as if silently encouraging herself.

"I think she's really hypocritical..."

"Sister, what you said is wrong."

To Su Miaozhen's surprise, after hearing what she said, Su Qingchun immediately daringly retorted:

"I think my aunt is very nice."

Seeing that Su Miaozhen's words became more and more excessive, he couldn't help mustering up the courage to refute a few times:
"My aunt is not such a person. Don't talk about her like that."

When Xiao Liu was alive, she didn't want to speak ill of her sister, she only mentioned that Liu was a strong person, good at disciplining others, and didn't like people disobeying her.

But on the carriage where the siblings entered Shendu, these words passed through Su Miaozhen's mouth, and became: Liu's people are headstrong, with an extremely domineering and powerful personality, and they look down on poor relatives from Jiangning.

After what Su Miaozhen said, Su Qingchun was actually very scared when he just entered Shendu.

Before he entered Yao's house, he already knew that Liu's temper was eccentric and difficult to get along with; Yao Hui was vicious and unreasonable.

Yao Wanning is a sick child, maybe he will die soon; while Yao Ruoyun was born in a family of officials and is just a wanderer.

As for Yao Shouning, he was spoiled beyond belief, proud and self-willed, and good at bullying poor relatives.

But after meeting in person, he felt that the Yao family was very nice.

Liu's personality is indeed strong, and she also likes people to follow her wishes, but these shortcomings that are intolerable to others are just right for Su Qingchun - he is used to being managed by others.

He is cowardly and unable to be a director of the family.

When he was at home in the past, Su Wenfang and Xiaoliu were the masters of the family. Even his elder sister Su Miaozhen was soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

However, although Su Wenfang is also a scholar, there are also indecision in her personality. Xiao Liu's personality is free and easy, but she loves her husband deeply, arranging food for the family, and wandering around the world with her husband, which have already consumed most of her attention.

In this way, the two children were naturally neglected, which is also the reason why Su Qingchun developed a timid character.

But after coming to Yao's house now, Liu's personality is strong, and he manages him meticulously.

She single-handedly arranged Su Qingchun's future. While she was looking for a servant for him, she was also arranging the school he would attend in the future. For Su Qingchun, this was like life was on the right track.

Every day, I don’t need to worry about what I’m going to do, I just need to follow my aunt’s arrangement—after thinking about it carefully, I feel that there is still a faint look of hope in the future.

It can be predicted that if Liu's arrangement is followed, he will concentrate on studying hard in the future, get a good reputation, and then be selected by his aunt, marry a wife, and have children, which will be clearer than his previous chaotic life.

And although Yao Hui had a vicious appearance, Su Qingchun was not an ignorant child.

He only has a ferocious appearance, but he has never been impatient with his siblings.

The arrival of the two caused troubles to the Yao family, but the uncle did not complain, and ran around for the siblings for several days. He saw Yao Hui's eyes were red and he stayed up all night.

As for the first cousin, he doesn't have much contact with her, and the second cousin is frank. Although she sometimes speaks directly, she doesn't seem to be very scheming and hates herself.

Since the two siblings were imprisoned, Mrs. Liu often came to visit the prison, and many important events happened at home. He noticed that Mrs. Liu's expression was much haggard, and he was really anxious for their siblings.

There were meals on the table in the room before, but he took a look and saw that there were some pickled vegetables, tofu, etc., which looked very plain.

He thought that these days Liu Shi would be accompanied by jailers every time he came back, and he probably spent a lot of money to manage it.

The more he thought about it, the more Su Qingchun felt that Mrs. Liu was good.

Whenever he couldn't survive in the prison, when he heard the screams around him and smelled blood, it was Liu who came to comfort him and coax him from time to time, telling him not to be afraid, that his aunt was not his mother but was better than his mother!
"Sister, I don't want to hear you say that."

Su Qingchun frowned, and for the first time did not follow Su Miaozhen's arrangement, but took a step back:
"I think it's a good life."

He was fed up with always following in the footsteps of his mother and father, living a precarious life.

I was often poor and poor, traveling with my parents all over the world, and sometimes I was forced to move as soon as I got familiar with a place.

He was so poor that sometimes he could not afford food and owed a lot of money, so he forced Xiaoliu to sell his dowry for silver.

He also couldn't go to school like other people, only relying on his father's enlightenment, and he often reads every day.

"Now I have a safe place to sleep and hot meals to eat. My aunt wants to send me to school, telling me to study hard, get a good grade, and marry a virtuous wife in the future."

It was the first time for him to express his opinion so boldly, and even took a few steps back, avoiding Su Miaozhen's tugging, and fixedly looked at her:
"I don't want to hear you say that."

The two siblings broke up because of the quarrel, and Su Miaozhen was greatly shocked. She felt that her younger brother might be possessed by evil spirits. At the same time, she felt a lonely feeling that no one could understand after being reborn.

……

On the other side, Mrs. Liu also mentioned the news she learned from the conversation with Su Miaozhen when she went to the prison the day before yesterday, as well as her visit to the Chu family to intercede this afternoon.

After listening to Yao Shouning, he felt more and more that Su Miaozhen's release from prison was probably not accidental, maybe it was calculated long ago.

"Mother, when you went to visit your cousin, did you mention the eldest princess and the others coming over?"

As soon as her words fell, Liu Shi nodded and said:

"Miaozhen also cares about the family."

Finished!

Hearing what she said, Yao Shouning was even more convinced that Su Miaozhen's release from prison was not a good one.

Maybe the reason why she had a premonition that Lu Zhi's trip to wipe out the evil spirits would fail is because of Su Miaozhen.

For a moment, she sympathized with the eldest son of the general's mansion. The lawsuit in Xicheng had not been concluded before, and she was targeted by her cousin again.

The family waited while talking, and after about half an hour, the two siblings came back.

Because the two were released from prison today, Mrs. Liu simply asked the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes to celebrate.

When Su Qingchun came back, he saw some additional dishes on the table, sniffed, but subconsciously moved further away from his sister.

Tonight should be a reunion dinner, so logically speaking, everyone should be happy.

But Yao Ruoyun respected Su Miaozhen because of Yao Shouning's words, and Su Miaozhen hated and was angry with Yao's family; Su Qingchun didn't want to talk to her because of what her sister said earlier, and Yao Shouning thought about the poor son, Yao Wanning realized that Su Miaozhen was hiding behind a careful mask malicious.

……

And Mrs. Liu was very happy tonight, and rarely drank two glasses of wine, and was still a little smoked after washing up and going to bed.

The family's lawsuit has come to an end for now, her husband and nephew have been released from prison one after another, and the eldest daughter's recovery seems to be about to end.

"Let me tell you, I think Wanning and Miaozhen are very close, and Shouning seems to be a lot more sensible."

Liu's speech was a little unclear, Yao Hui hugged her and asked Cao Mama to remove the jewelry for her.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Hui was shocked.

It is said that a woman's mind is sensitive and slender, but the atmosphere at the dinner table tonight is weird, and even he feels that something is wrong, but Liu Shi seems to be unaware of it.

"……exactly."

Yao Hui didn't expose her, he hugged her to the bedside, bent down to take off her shoes, and answered her a few words.

After removing the jewelry for her, Madam Cao went out to fetch hot water. There were only the husband and wife in the room.

When Mrs. Liu was drunk, she suddenly remembered something:

"Zigui and the eldest son of the Chu family are friends of eight worshippers, why have they had no contact with each other in these years?"
