After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 155

Not only did these two sworn brothers not have any contact in the following years, Su Wenfang's official career was not going well in recent years, and the Chu family did not promote him because of their friendship back then.

Mrs. Liu asked Su Miaozhen this question in the prison the day before yesterday. She was very impatient at the time and blocked Mrs. Liu's words. Mrs. Liu didn't ask any more questions, but after thinking about it after time passed, she knew something was wrong .

Yao Hui is a fine individual, how can he not figure out the inside story.

But he smiled and didn't speak. Instead, he helped his wife to lie on the bed and combed her hair.

She closed her eyes, and she could see the thin wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

Liu's was nearly forty years old, but her long hair was well-groomed, black and smooth, thick and thick. Among several children, only Yao Shouning inherited her hair quality perfectly.

At this time, her hair was loose, which weakened a bit of the toughness of the usual hairstyle, and added a bit of femininity.

Yao Hui reached out to touch her face, but she suddenly asked softly:

"Tell me, you entered the capital of God a few years ago and were not welcomed by the Chu family. Is it because of Zigui?"

After she finished speaking, Yao Hui paused.

The room was silent for a moment, Yao Hui came back to his senses for a long time, then smiled, and said comfortingly:

"Go to sleep."

As soon as the words fell, her slightly frowned eyebrows relaxed, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, when Liu woke up, she vaguely remembered what she said last night.

She was very self-controlled on weekdays, and it was rare for her to be so indulgent, and by being drunk, she revealed the reason why Yao Hui was not welcomed by the Chu family these years.

The husband is capable, and has been the commander of the army and horses for many years. He has always acted steadily and steadily. It should have been promoted long ago, and the official position should be promoted again.

But for ten years, he has never moved in this position.

Yao Hui didn't say anything on the surface, but he must be very aggrieved in his heart. The couple didn't know the inside story before, and the Chu family couldn't afford to offend them, so they could only bear it.

Now that there is a hint of it, Liu Shi is worried that her husband is resenting Su Miaozhen in his heart, so last night he made it clear with the strength of wine.

She was half drunk and half awake at the time, and she also wanted to see Yao Hui's attitude.

But he is very generous.

With his intelligence, Su Miaozhen must have already guessed the ins and outs when he was released from prison, but he didn't care about it, obviously this matter has passed in his mind.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Liu felt both relieved and a little sweet.

While he was in a daze, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.

When Mammy Cao came in, she happened to see Mrs. Liu lift up the curtain by herself and stand up. Seeing her hurrying, Mrs. Liu was taken aback for a moment:
"Is there a problem?"

It was not yet bright outside, and she could hear Yao Hui's voice of waking up for morning exercises. It was still early, so what else was going on at home at this time?

Madam Cao nodded:
"Someone has come from the General's Mansion, and they say they want to take Second Miss out."

"what?"

Mrs. Liu was taken aback for a moment. After hearing this, she felt a little overwhelmed, so she sat up quickly:
"Take Shouning out?"

The weather has been cold recently, Mammy Cao was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she stepped forward and pulled the quilt to wrap her body, nodded and said:
"The eldest princess is going out to hunt in the city. She likes the second young lady, so she should be taken with her."

After Madam Cao finished speaking, she added another sentence:
"It is said that we have already made an appointment."

When did you make an appointment?Liu's head was full of confusion, and she couldn't recover for a while.

When she asked this, Madam Cao also shook her head blankly:

"I do not know either."

Liu Shi reached out and rubbed her forehead, but it reminded her of something.

Two days ago, when the eldest princess's family came to visit, Yao Shouning didn't speak to Zhu Hengrui at all, instead he slipped out halfway and spent a long time alone with the prince.

Madam Cao is not an outsider, so Liu told her the worries in her heart:
"I'm afraid it's not the eldest princess who asked her out of the city, but..."

Before Liu's words were finished, Yao Hui strode in:

"Let her go."

"what?"

Liu Shi was stunned.

Yao Hui was wearing thin clothes, and he was sweating all over from the practice. Madam Cao was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she hurriedly handed him a handkerchief.

"Let her go."

Yao Hui took the handkerchief and wiped his head, and said to Liu Shi again:
"She mentioned it to me yesterday, and she was going to tell you about it last night."

But last night because Su Miaozhen's siblings came back suddenly, the atmosphere was weird, but Mrs. Liu didn't notice it at all.

"Maybe Shouning forgot about it at the time, so he didn't mention it."

"But……"

Mrs. Liu was about to speak, but Yao Hui had already waved to Cao Mama, signaling her to go out first.

Mammy Cao nodded and exited the room, leaving a quiet space for the two couples.

"to be honest."

Although Mrs. Liu didn't intend to hide it from Madam Cao, but at this time there were only husband and wife in the room, and she didn't hide it, and said directly:
"I suspect that the one who invited Shouning was not the Eldest Princess, but the Crown Prince."

She had long felt that something was wrong with Shizi.

Although she was very grateful to Lu Zhi for saving his life in the Xicheng case that day, she also knew that since then, the Yao family has received a lot of favors from the General's Mansion.

"If the General's Mansion wants me to repay the favor, I will risk my life." Liu looked at her husband and said seriously:

"But if I want my daughter Israel to serve others to repay this kindness, I will never allow it."

There is a huge disparity in the status of the two families, Liu Shi never thought about climbing this high branch, nor did he feel that he could climb in.

What's more, Lu Zhi came from a noble family and was spoiled since he was a child. What kind of girl has he never seen?Liu felt that even though he had a temporary 'interest' in Yao Shouning, he was just looking at her beauty and thinking of her as fresh and interesting.

In addition, she had already taken a fancy to the eldest son of the Wen family for Yao Shouning, and the two were well-matched, so she really didn't want to make other mistakes and ruin her daughter's reputation.

Yao Hui was silent for a while, then nodded:
"Let me tell you the truth, Yue Shouning is indeed the eldest son."

He said this, showing that he knew about it a long time ago.

When Liu Shi thought that he knew the inside story and agreed to Yao Shouning's going out earlier, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, feeling angry in her heart.

Just as he was about to lift the quilt and get up, Yao Hui seemed to know what was going on in her mind, stretched out his hand to press the quilt, and said helplessly:

"Listen to me."

Pressing the quilt with one hand, he said softly:

"Let me tell you the truth, the thief who broke into Wanning Courtyard a few nights ago was no ordinary person."

Yao Hui's words made Liu Shi stunned for a moment, she didn't understand why she was talking about Yao Shouning, but her husband happened to be involved in the eldest daughter's courtyard.

But Yao Wanning's incident of thieves in the courtyard made her very uneasy, especially after many days, the government hadn't made any progress, which made Liu's anxiety unbearable, and when her husband said it, she wondered if there was something in it He held back his unhappiness and motioned for him to continue talking.

"this……"

Yao Hui hesitated for a while, but still didn't get the word 'this demon' out of his mouth, and said instead:

"This thief has a special background and has a lot of ties to it." He paused, "Ordinary people can't catch him, only with the help of the General's Mansion."

"The case in Xicheng was extraordinary that day. Someone took advantage of the death of Zhang Qiao to cast a curse on the prince." Yao Hui said with a serious expression:

"Some clues have been found recently. Because the incident involves us, the son will leave the city together in the name of inviting Shouning to hunt."

Speaking of this, Yao Hui added:
"This move is also to catch the person behind the scenes."

When mentioning the Xicheng case that day, Liu opened his mouth, feeling a little guilty and short of breath, but also feeling a little regretful. After holding back for a while, he finally said unwillingly:
"But what does this have to do with Wanning's matter?"

"When Princess Eldest came to Yao's house that day, Shouning begged His Royal Highness to help investigate the details of the thief who broke into Yao's house that night."

Liu's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Have you found out?"

"I found some clues." Yao Hui struggled, nodded, and finally couldn't hold back, and revealed something to Liu Shi:

"When the disturbance was the worst the night before, it was actually the people from the General's Mansion who helped to drive the thief back temporarily."

It was precisely because of that battle that a noble person like Lu Zhi was injured because of it, and this trip out of the city was also because he wanted to find a way to break the demon Gu on Lu Zhi-as for how the demon Gu came from? Yes, Yao Hui also knew it well, so how could he have any position to stop it?

"However, the thief has not been arrested yet, but the matter has already taken shape, and people from the General's Mansion are still needed to help." Yao Hui looked at Liu Shi, and coaxed her softly:

"Shouning is not a child, she is doing it in a proper manner, you just trust her once."

What he said made sense, but Liu Shi always felt that something was wrong.

She was silent for a while, and suddenly asked:

"That is to say, a few days ago, the two of them talked alone, and this was what they were talking about?"

Yao Hui still didn't know that the deal between Lu Zhi and Yao Shouning was said alone. He was startled at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it sounds shocking at this time, and it is easy to cause panic among those who don't know it. Private conversations are also normal.

Thinking of this, he nodded:

"Yes."

Liu looked at him a little strangely:
"That is to say, you also know that she made a mistake?"

made a mistake?Yao Hui was a little puzzled, and then guessed that Liu Shi meant that Yao Shouning had an appointment with Lu Zhi alone.

He nodded again, persuading:
"She's just a child, and there's nothing wrong with a child."

Mrs. Liu did not expect Yao Hui to be so magnanimous, knowing that Yao Shouning and Lu Zhi were calling each other 'father and mother', and yet acted so calmly.

"Then you..." She hesitated to speak, but Yao Hui didn't know what to say:
"Yes, she confessed to me."

Since Yao Hui had said so, she naturally couldn't stop her anymore, so she sighed and said unwillingly:
"That's only this time, and it will never be allowed next time. At the same time, someone from the family must be sent to accompany him."

After the Xicheng case, Mrs. Wen sensed that something was wrong, and she had already visited the door to inquire once. If she heard that there was an entanglement between her daughter and the eldest son, Mrs. Wen might not be very happy.

After most of the family's troubles were resolved, Mrs. Liu was already making up her mind when she would take Yao Shouning to visit Wen's house, with Mrs. Anwen's heart in mind.

"Don't worry." Seeing that she had been persuaded, Yao Hui heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:

"I will go with her myself."

The couple on this side were talking, while Yao Shouning on the other side was already ready to go out, and she was relieved when Madam Cao came to remind her that it was Mrs. Liu who agreed for her to go out.

The purpose of going out today is to exterminate evil spirits, and the matter has not yet been revealed, so naturally Mallow cannot be allowed to go with her.

Fortunately, Yao Shouning had communicated with his father early on, knowing that he would be worried, so the two of them made an agreement that he would drive the car and go out of the city with her.

In order to deceive others, Lu Zhi didn't come to pick her up in person, but sent a personal attendant beside him.

The visitor was about 25 or [-] years old, wearing a dark green round-neck gown, black leather boots, and a long sword hanging from his waist, with a hint of elegance in his heroic demeanor.

He was tall and straight, led a horse, and waited at the back door of Yao's house.

After seeing Yao Hui get out of the carriage, he took a few steps forward, saluted, and called out:
"Second Miss Yao."

The voice was quite familiar. Yao Shouning opened the car door, looked at this person, and remembered the words of "consciousness" in Su Miaozhen's body that day: Luo Ziwen, Lu Zhi's number one wenmou, was born in Shenwumen.

She was a little weird in her heart, but she looked at Luo Ziwen curiously again, guessing that there was something special about him, which made Su Miaozhen's 'consciousness' remind her to pay attention.

It was not the first time Luo Ziwen saw her. During the Xicheng case, he saw Shizi flirting with her, and after that, Shizi was bewitched by an evil spirit, and she was also awakened by her.

He is also very curious about Yao Shouning, knowing that she has extraordinary power, so this time Lu Zhi wants to take her with him to destroy the Snake Cave.

However, Luo Ziwen was very measured. Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not try to spy. Instead, after Yao Shouning nodded to him, he got on his horse and said with a gentle smile:
"The prince is waiting outside the city, and asked me to lead the two of you."

He had met Yao Hui before, so he was not surprised that Yao Hui would accompany him on this trip.

Recently, the city was under strict control, but with Luo Ziwen around, the three of them went out of the city gate smoothly, but Yao Hui was concerned about his daughter sitting in the car, so he didn't drive the car fast.

After about an hour, Yao Shouning suddenly opened the car door: "Father."

She called out, and Yao Hui turned his head:

"what happened?"

During this journey, Yao Shouning has been exceptionally quiet, so quiet that Yao Hui felt a little abnormal.

"We should be almost there."

She said a word, and before Yao Hui could speak, Luo Ziwen had already turned his head.

A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but before Yao Hui asked, he nodded slightly:
"The prince is not far ahead."

At this time, she was about twenty miles away from the city, and Yao Hui only thought that her daughter had already made an appointment with Lu Zhi, so she didn't wonder why she knew that her destination was approaching.

The few people walked forward for about a quarter of an hour, and Luo Ziwen suddenly pointed out:
"there."

Yao Hui looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a sloping high slope about a hundred feet away in front of him, and there was a gazebo on the slope. At this time, there were people waiting outside the pavilion with horses. He counted about ten people.

Maybe he heard someone coming from a distance, and suddenly there was a loud dog barking in the Fadi Pavilion.
