Hexi

Chapter 206 The name on the burnt paper
Su Luo's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and the beating sound seemed to be beating a drum.

What does his action mean?
Was he trying to do something to her mother's tablet, or was he...

"Lan girl..."

Just when Su Luo clenched her fists tightly, and was ready for her to step forward and tear him apart if he wanted to do something unconscionable, a low whisper came out of his mouth.

Su Luo froze as if she had been shocked by an electric shock.

Xie's baby name is the word "Lan". Back then, my grandmother always praised Xie's people as their name, as noble and elegant as orchids.So at that time, this title was often heard in the upper room of the Su family.Of course, Su Shou had never called him. In Su Wei's mind, he had never called Mrs. Xie, no matter what title he used!
But right now, he actually calls her baby name so affectionately, it's as natural as being with someone close to him...

Is he crazy? !
There was a buzzing in Su Wei's mind, and he looked again intently, his hand was still on the tablet, but he had bowed his head down and didn't speak any more.

The flames in the brazier were still flickering, but he buried his face in the crook of his elbow so that he could not see it.His body was bent and half bent, as if he had already settled down.

Su Luo slowed down her raised breath, leaned against the pillar, and looked at him over there coldly.

The scene in front of me is really funny.What is he doing?Are you missing her mother?He called her "Lan girl". A person who has been married for more than ten years but has never given his wife any warmth, what right does he have to call her by her name?What about touching her tablet?No matter how hypocritical, the dead will not be seen!
She looked away, and the astringent eye circles gradually blurred.

Suddenly Su Shou straightened his body, but his raised face was still calm.It was only after staring at the tablet for a while that the hand that was on top stroked the name before putting it down.

Kneeling and sitting like this for a while, he suddenly lit the brazier again.The dimmed fire light came back on, and he reached into his arms and took out a stack of papers.The movement this time is different from his slow strokes on the tablet, he did it very smoothly, but this stack of paper is also paper money, just the kind of paper money that needs to be written on.He threw these papers into the brazier page by page, his brows frown again, and his eyes became sharper.

"Master," Wu Zong, who was outside the door, walked in at this time, "There are people in the front yard. They say that two father-in-laws have come to the palace to announce the decree."

Wu Zong's voice was full of eagerness and surprise.

Su Shou stopped and stood up immediately: "I see. Go and receive the order."

After speaking, he took the lid of the brazier, extinguished the ashes in the basin hastily, and walked out with his robe.

The main room, which was still filled with the smell of burning paper just now, was gradually covered by the original smell of doors, windows, and beams.

Su Luo stepped out of the shelf and came to the front of the hall.

The room is still the same, except that Xie's tablet has moved slightly.

Su Luo stretched out her hands to straighten it, then took a deep breath, turned and walked outside.

The remaining sparks in the brazier were still flickering under the air vents, and when she walked to the side, she stopped suddenly and looked at the copper brazier.Then she squatted down and lifted the lid of the basin, and there were a few burning papers inside.Seeing the familiar handwriting, she picked it up with her bare hands, shook out the flames, and unfolded the side with the writing for a closer look.

This look made her almost fall over!
What was written on it was not Xie's name, but... Xue Rong!
……

The task assigned to Su Shou by the emperor and Duke Zhen put a heavy burden on his back.What Zhen Guogong asked was to create a newer and more difficult mechanism, but undoubtedly today's Tiangongfang is difficult, or it can be said that it is impossible.When Han Mo went to the door with the copper lock and forced the Su family to unlock it, he felt great pressure, but it was still indirect, but this time, the pressure came directly.If this level cannot be passed, then the Su family will also be defeated by him.

At the moment of desperation, it's not that he didn't think of using some cunning means to evade, but the two monarchs and ministers have already planned well. Even if he has all kinds of ways to say it, can't they make him accept it?The emperor personally came out on horseback to cooperate with Lord Zhen Guo in singing. In front of the emperor, who would dare to play tricks with him?
He's not that stupid, he can only compromise.

But after receiving the order, he also walked on the tip of the knife with the foundation of the Su family.

So the emperor awarded the third-rank honor, and he didn't have the heart to express his joy at such a great honor, and he didn't mention it when he came back.

I didn't expect the emperor to be so fast, how long did he come out?The imperial decree was sent home!

When they arrived at the front yard, Mrs. Xu was already getting dressed in a hurry. Seeing him coming back, she didn't care about getting angry with him in the past, and she hadn't helped him change clothes for a long time, so she immediately stepped forward to help.

By the time everything was cleaned up, the messenger had already had a round of tea.After announcing the decree with a smile, there was an atmosphere of joy in the whole front yard!

Su Shou cheered up and thanked him, and the Xu family was eager to reward with money. After a while, the second and third householders came over after hearing the news, and the school was over, so the Su family became lively like this.

When Su Wei came out of the ancestral hall, she heard that everyone was beaming with joy, and even Su Qi rushed over to report the good news, but she was indifferent and entered the room after only one glance at him.

Aji knocked on the door, and Su Luo let her in.

"girl……"

She was one of the witnesses to everything in the ancestral hall, and she also saw the name on the paper money. Xue Rong was her father's teacher, and she couldn't stay out of it.

Su Luo looked at her: "Are you also shocked?"

Aji nodded emphatically. "I never expected that the master would actually burn paper to sacrifice to Lord Xue. Miss, the Su family will be fine, right?"

She already knew that Xue Rong was a traitor and committed a serious crime, and her father was also implicated by him.

Su Luo shook her head unconsciously.

In the previous life until her death, nothing major happened to the Su family. It can be seen that Su Shou was cautious, and it stands to reason that there should be no trouble now.But the most terrible thing is, why did Su Shou have anything to do with Xue Rong?

Xue Rong obviously committed a serious crime, implicated so many people, Su Shouzhan was hesitant, why did he sacrifice such a big criminal?Wouldn't he be afraid of causing trouble?
Why didn't she know that the Su family was related to the Xue family?How deep is the friendship between Su Shou and Xue Rong?After Xue Rong's death, he secretly burned paper to pay homage. Why wasn't Xue Rong's case implicated in the Su family?
No matter how she thought about it, there was no sign at all, so that she never thought that Su Shou would have anything to do with him...

She took out the few sheets of paper again, and checked them carefully again.

No matter how you identify it, there is no mistake.This is Su Shou's own handwriting, and Xue Rong's name is also written on several sheets of paper.If she hadn't stayed there with multiple hands before, they would have been reduced to ashes now.No one would know that he was worshiping such a person!

She clenched her hands suddenly and clenched them into balls.

Did Su Shou also intervene in the case of abolishing the prince back then? ? ...
