Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 140 It Was Her
Su Jingning was thinking about Mu Xiuzhu going to Hexi Mansion to investigate the case, when the little girl outside reported through the curtain that the third master had been standing at the door for a long time.

Su Jingning was a little taken aback.

Su Heng has been staying in his study in the outer courtyard for the past few days, and the father and daughter haven't seen each other recently.

She thought about it, sighed and went out.

Su Heng had been lingering at the door for quite a while.

At this time, his eyes were bloodshot, his beard was scruffy, and he was no longer as elegant and handsome as before.

Guilt, sadness, sadness, and anger tormented him all the time in the past few days, and he couldn't sleep at night and couldn't eat.

After thinking for a long time, he mustered up the courage to meet his daughter, but when he reached the door, he suddenly flinched and dared not go any further.

After a while, Su Heng sighed dejectedly, turned around and prepared to go back.

"Father."

There was a clear and familiar shout from behind.

Su Heng's back stiffened, he hesitated for a while, and then turned his head to look at the past.

A girl wearing a homely honey-colored Ruyi moiré shirt and a pearl hairpin on her head is standing not far away.

There was a sweet smile on her face as usual, she looked innocent and innocent, with a girl's unique cuteness.

But Su Heng knew that this was all just his self-righteousness, her daughter had long been forced to become mature and sensible.

"A'Ning." Su Heng opened his mouth and said in a shy voice.

"Why didn't father come in at the door?" Su Jingning asked with a smile as if she didn't notice his strangeness.

Su Heng was speechless after hearing Yan Nuo Nuo.

Su Jingning was still smiling, blinked playfully and said, "Could it be that father doesn't want to see Ah Ning?"

"How could it be!" Su Heng hurriedly denied it, and then paused, with a hint of shame flashing across his face. "I... I just don't have the face to see you."

He lowered his head and said dejectedly: "My father is so incompetent, Ah Ning must have suffered a lot of grievances!"

"Why would father think this way?" Su Jingning said in surprise, "You have always treated Aning very well, and Aning has not suffered any grievances."

She paused for a while and comforted softly: "Father has always been kind to others, and he is willing to think well of others. However, people are unpredictable. Some people are born with black hearts, and my father can't control them. Why blame yourself too much!"

Su Heng knew this was not the case.

He shook his head and said: "Although that is the case, I don't know people clearly, and it is a fact that I did not protect Aning well. I am afraid that I will have no face to see your mother when I get to the spring."

"Father is serious, isn't Ah Ning always good!" Su Jingning interrupted him immediately, "You also know that Ah Ning has always been clever, and he didn't suffer at all. On the contrary, everyone else has been taught a lesson."

As she said that, she deliberately pretended to be worried and asked: "Father doesn't think that Aning has a deep mind, so he doesn't like Aning?"

"How could it be?" Su Heng immediately denied: "You are my daughter, no matter what you are, you are my daughter!"

Besides, Cheng An is already so vicious, no matter how clever her Aning is, there will be no bones and dregs left that will be eaten by others.

"That's right! It's the same in Ah Ning's heart." Su Jingning said sincerely: "I know you have tried your best to treat Ah Ning well, so I don't hate you for not protecting me well."

She said softly: "You are Aning's father, no matter what you are, you are also Aning's beloved father."

The girl's firm words seemed to soothe Su Heng's heart, his expression gradually calmed down, and tears filled his eyes.

He nodded, "Thank you for not blaming Dad."

Su Jingning smiled and didn't answer, but instead said: "Father, go to the yamen, if you are late, be careful to be impeached by the censor."

Su Heng felt much more relieved, and immediately responded.

After watching Su Heng leave, the smile on Su Jingning's face slowly disappeared, and she still stood there for a long time.

When Nianqing came out to look for her, she saw her standing upright with her back facing her, but she was exuding endless exhaustion and depression, which made people feel distressed.

The shouting on her lips was immediately put back, and Nian Qing stood aside silently accompanying her young lady.

She knew that Su Jingning was suffering and had nothing to say.

But she is just a maid, all she can do is to take good care of her own young lady, and always be with her no matter what happens in the future.

It took a long time for Su Jingning to move her body, and her face returned to her usual smiling An Ran look.

She looked up at the sky, and told Nianqing to pack her things and go to Qingyun Temple.

In the past few days, she sent Mu Xiuzhu out again, and went to visit Qin Huaiyu in the Qin residence, but she hadn't seen Xuanluo for a few days.

After getting into the carriage, Su Jingning silently closed her eyes and rested her mind.

Gradually, a familiar noise came to my ears.

It is the unique fireworks in Banpo West Street.

Listening to the endless cries, Su Jingning gradually relaxed.

Hearing that there was someone selling candied haws, she simply called to stop the carriage and asked Nianqing to buy some and bring them back to Xuan Luo.

While waiting, she herself opened the curtain by the window and looked outside casually.

After a while, Nianqing happily returned to the carriage with a handful of candied haws.

Su Jingning lowered the curtain, ready to ask the coachman to drive.

"Boss, how do you sell this bun?"

A gentle and gentle woman's voice suddenly reached her ears.

Su Jingning was taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, she suddenly raised the curtain and searched outside.

After a few breaths, she fixed her gaze on a girl standing with her back facing her.

There is only a simple silver hairpin on the girl's head, and she is wearing ordinary muslin clothes, except that she has a bookish look all over her body, which seems to be no different from the daughters of ordinary people's families.

At this time, she was standing in front of a steamed stuffed bun stall, counted a few copper coins and handed them to the stall owner, and took a few steamed buns and put them in the vegetable basket beside her.

When she turned around, Su Jingning happened to see her face clearly.

Su Jingning couldn't help being in a daze for a moment, and murmured in a low voice: "It's really her."

"Miss, what's the matter?" Nian Qing didn't hear clearly, so she asked again.

Su Jingning woke up, shook her head, her eyes were still fixed on the girl.

She bought a few more things, then turned into a nearby alley and disappeared.

Su Jingning frowned, and after pondering for a while, she instructed Nian Qing: "Put on the veiled hat for me, let's go down."

Nian Qing was taken aback, but when she saw Su Jingning's expression, she didn't ask anything. She quickly put on the veiled caps for her and herself, and then helped her out of the carriage.

Su Jingning followed without delay and turned into the alley.

The figure of the girl came into her field of vision again.

Su Jingning breathed a sigh of relief, for fear of being noticed by her, she slowed down her pace and took Nian Qing behind her from a distance.
