Dayong Nu sentenced to death

"Girl, what's the matter with you?"

Zhu Yan was standing on the porch with a bowl in his hand, and after quickly pouring a whole bowl of glutinous rice balls into his stomach, when he looked up, he found Su Rao staring at the bowl in a daze, and couldn't help asking.

Xiao Nan also looked up at her.

Su Rao's thoughts were interrupted, she looked away, looked at the lantern under the porch, and said in a vague tone, "I'm thinking how time flies, it's already the Lantern Festival."

"Who said it wasn't."

Zhu Yan shook the bowl, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "We didn't catch up with the excitement of the New Year's Eve. Fortunately, we didn't miss the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. Shengjing City is overcrowded at this time of year, and there are three thousand bright lights... Standing on the city wall, you can see Starlight and lights are intertwined, a gorgeous and bright scene.”

"There are also all kinds of juggling fireworks, lantern riddles and banquets on both sides of Tianjie Street, which make people dazzled and overwhelmed."

"The girl should really go and see."

"I'm going."

Su Rao lowered her eyes and smiled, "But before that, I have to do one thing."

"Girl, the carriage is waiting outside."

The man's tone was cold, "Ah Rao, in front of your mother, are you trying to kill yourself by saying these words?"

As if she didn't realize it, she swallowed them one by one. After eating, someone put away the bowls and chopsticks. As the sun slanted to the west, the shadows of the trees in the courtyard couldn't stop moving with it, and finally dimmed in the glow of the sky.

"This should be yours."

As he said that, the man covered his mouth and coughed twice, his body trembled violently. Although Su Rao was not good at medicine, he could tell that he was not in good health.

Striding towards the outside, the clothes brought gusts of wind, and the voice floated slowly, "Maybe your choice is right, it's like a stranger, it's good for you and Xie's family."

Seeing her beckoning, Zhu Yan came over curiously, and after the two whispered for a while, Zhu Yan's face became slightly condensed, "Don't worry, girl, I'll let someone handle it."

Xiao Nan nodded without thinking.

"Take it."

"Take care of him and don't let him go far."

After Su Rao asked, the man's breath froze for a moment, and he asked instead: "Why don't you go back to Xie's residence?"

Bamboo Banquet is back.

"Girl, go along this path, within a hundred meters, you will find Mrs. Su's tomb."

The man stared at her in silence for a long time, so long that the smile on Su Rao's face could hardly hold back, he moved.

Su Rao looked at his frowning brows, and had to admit that the saying "Xie's family is a beauty" has a strong basis. Even if the person in front of her is old and no longer youthful and heroic, there is a kind of age elegant style.

"no need."

Then he slowly took something out of his sleeve.

"You don't want to acknowledge Xie's family, and this thing should be returned to its original owner. What to do with it is up to you."

"Your Excellency came here at night and waited for me here, or do you have other motives?"

Su Rao was stunned for a while, then walked forward slowly, her tone calm, "You know I'm coming?"

"Why do you want to go?"

The further you go, the more desolate and remote.

After Zhu Yan left, Xiao Nan still looked at Su Rao in bewilderment, Su Rao couldn't help but smiled, "Sister is going out later, do you want to go together?"

After finishing speaking, he involuntarily stuffed the jade pendant into Su Rao's hand.

Like a jar of old wine, it is warm and mellow, with a long taste.

After getting on the carriage, the carriage went all the way out of the city.

Her eyes moved.

This taste diffuses along the tip of the tongue, sweet and slightly bitter.

Still not moving.

Su Rao went to the tombstone, squatted down, and slowly raised her hand to trace the six characters "Tomb of Beloved Wife Xie Chan" engraved on the stone tablet.

Xiao Nan was keenly aware that her mood seemed to be abnormal, and probably realized something, and obediently responded.

Su Rao gave Zhu Yan a word, then turned around and walked slowly towards that path, it was getting dark, this kind of road was not dangerous for martial arts practitioners.

The glow and darkness of the sky reflected the mountains and forests along the way, and the sound of birds chirping came from time to time.

"what?"

Su Rao was not surprised by this result, picked up a spoon to scoop up the glutinous rice balls, and bit down, it was sweet and soft.

She smiled, harmless and innocent: "Only those who have expectations will hate. What do I hate? Your Excellency is serious."

"If my mother knew that her husband and young daughter were kicked out of the capital when her body was still cold, wouldn't she not feel the pain of being punished?"

The carriage staggered along for an unknown amount of time, the cool wind rolled up the curtains and stirred Su Rao's temples, at the same time, the car stopped.

Turn around.

The man interrupted her. When the cold wind blew, he couldn't help coughing twice, and then said slowly: "You should know that you have a marriage contract with that kid from the Yan family. This is a token exchanged by the two old men. .”

The mountain wind was gloomy and cold, carrying the chill that Chunri would not have had time to dissipate, rolled up her sleeves, Su Rao didn't take two steps, but suddenly stopped in her footsteps.

"My surname is Su, so there is no reason to enter the door of the Xie family again."

But he never turned his head to look at the man's face, the man's voice came from behind, "This time I came to visit my old friend, and I also waited for you."

"Ah."

The man was silent for a long time before he asked.

Passing through the hustle and bustle and leaving the city gate, one enters another world, quiet and silent, as if isolating everything before.

"Wait for me to do?"

Su Rao snorted lightly, stopped what she was doing, stood up slowly, turned around and faced the man, her tone was mocking and sarcastic, "Why do you want to teach me a lesson?"

Su Rao raised her eyebrows slightly, "You will not be rewarded for nothing..."

After Su Rao got off the car, Zhu Yan handed her the prepared candles and paper money, and asked, "Do you want your subordinates to accompany you?"

Su Rao took out her handkerchief, carefully wiped off the dust on the stele, and said casually: "Back then when the Su and Xie families broke up, Father took me away from the capital, that is to draw a clear line with the Xie family."

"You hate the Xie family?"

Su Rao took the things, looked at Xiao Nan and said, "My sister is going to worship, you wait here, I will be back soon, and then I will take you back to the city to watch the Lantern Festival."

In front of the tomb, a black figure stood with its hands behind its back, with its back facing her, majestic and upright, as resolute as a pine and cypress, only made a sound, but did not look back.

"You came."

She easily found the place Zhu Yan said.

All the way up the mountain, the road is uneven.

"Then why are you here tonight?"

"Since you're back in Beijing, and today is Shangyuan Night again, you will definitely come to pay respects to your mother, ahem..."

Su Rao got up when she heard this, Xiao Nan immediately jumped off the stool, walked to her side and grabbed her sleeve.

The night has not yet completely sunk, the street is already crowded with people, the sound of boiling is like a tide, and all kinds of stalls have rushed to the ground. When passing by Wanghai Tower, the clerk is still stepping on a ladder to hang the lamp curtain.

Su Rao held the jade pendant in her hand, and his body temperature still remained on it.

The man's back disappeared into the black night that was gradually stained with ink, the branches around him looked strange, and the wind from the tomb was chilling.

She stood still for a long time, not knowing what it was like in her heart.

It was unexpected to meet people from the Xie family here, and it came earlier and more honestly than expected.

Thinking like this, she turned to the stele and muttered to herself, "Aniang, will you blame me?"
