Chapter 144
After tossing all night, after Su Chengrui returned to his residence, instead of going to his own room, he turned around and went to the courtyard where Luo Yunzhi was.

On the window of the dormitory, dim candlelight was still flickering.Su Chengrui went out early and returned late these years, and Luo Yunzhi often waited for him to come back, so he developed the habit of asking people to keep a light on even when he fell asleep.

The door was pushed open and then gently closed.

Xiao Ya'er had just added lamp oil when she raised her head and saw the Qingjun figure standing under the corridor.He was stunned, walked over, saluted, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is back, Young Master, he fell asleep just now, do you need slave to wake him up?"

"no need."

Su Chengrui looked away, waved lightly and said, "I'm looking for you."

"I?"

Xiao Ya'er pointed at herself in confusion, seeing the woman turned and walked out, although she was puzzled in her heart, she didn't dare to delay, she quickly got up and followed behind her.

The two went to the kitchen one after the other.

Mu Yu had already stood inside and waited respectfully, and a delicate food box was placed on the stove next to it.Su Chengrui waved her hand, motioning for Xiao Ya'er to sit down on the bench.

Xiao Ya'er nodded in response, but the smile on her face became a little stiff after Mu Yu opened the food box.

Su Chengrui picked up a piece of dim sum and handed it in front of him, "I passed Shiwei Zhai tonight, and I bought some dim sum there on the way, try it."

Xiao Ya'er swallowed, took it hesitantly, smiled dryly, and took a small bite under the woman's gaze.

"how is the taste?"

"Very...delicious."

Little Ya'er has always been greedy for food, if it was normal, she would be very happy to be able to eat such delicious snacks.But right now, he is sitting on pins and needles holding the snack in his hand.

After eating the snack in his hand, Xiao Ya'er looked at Su Chengrui who was sitting in front of him, already lighting a cigarette and smoking lazily, his eyes beckoned him to continue.

Xiao Ya'er pursed her lips, but had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to pick up the snacks in the box and continue eating.The time suddenly became extremely long, and it was the first time he felt that eating was such a painful thing in his life.

No matter how delicious the dim sum in Shiweizhai is, if one person eats such a large plate, no one will get tired of it.

Swallowing the last piece of snack in the food box, Xiao Ya'er turned pale, bent over and covered her mouth, and was about to spit it out.

Mu Yu shook the sword in his hand and warned, "Eat it, don't spit it out!"

Xiao Ya'er trembled when she heard the words, suppressed the urge to swallow the pastry in her mouth, and raised her hand to wipe the moisture overflowing from the corner of her eyes, looking a little aggrieved.

He swore that he never wanted to eat this kind of sweet and greasy dessert again in his life!

"How does it taste?" Su Chengrui suddenly asked.

It's okay not to mention this, but when I mentioned it, the sweet and disgusting impulse came back again.With a pale face, Xiao Ya'er forced a smile, "It's... delicious, thank you, Master, for the reward."

Su Chengrui suddenly smiled when he heard what he said, "It's a coincidence that I went to Shiweizhai that day, and I happened to meet someone who gave this plate of dim sum to Lu Wu and the young masters. It tasted very good, so I ordered it specially. Here is one for you to taste."

Xiao Ya'er bowed her head and said nothing, she couldn't help using a little force with her hand holding the hem of the skirt.

Su Chengrui rushed to Mu Yu and said, "Bring it up."

Mu Yu responded, and not long after, she brought in a woman whose hands and feet were bound from outside the door.The woman's mouth was stuffed with a ball of cloth, she could only whine, twisted and struggled, and when she saw Su Chengrui and Xiao Ya'er in the room, she immediately showed a look of horror.

It was the guy who was in charge of delivering snacks to Lu Niannian's private room at Shiweizhai that day.

Little Ya'er couldn't maintain the composure on her face any longer, she got up in panic and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Patriarch, please spare me! I will never dare again!"

After all, the man was only a child in his early ten years old, how could he stand up to such a scene, he was so frightened that he kept crying, with tears and snot flowing from his nose.

Su Chengrui tapped the table lightly with a finger holding a cigarette, and she seemed to hear a sigh in the cloud of mist she exhaled. She said quietly, "I remember when I first met you, you knelt down to pay for your father's funeral sell yourself on the street."

Su Chengrui took out a bag of broken silver and threw it in front of him, "Take the silver and go, so you can live a better life in the future."

Xiao Ya'er stopped crying, but her body trembled even more. Instead of picking up the silver, he raised his tear-stained face to look at Su Chengrui and begged, "Both my parents have died, and I have no home for a long time. Can return, I beg the Patriarch to be merciful, don't drive the slave away, the slave knows it's wrong!"

Su Chengrui came to him and knelt down, quietly sized him up with her dark eyes for a moment, just when Xiao Ya'er thought she would let her go, the next words of the woman instantly made him fall into the ice cellar.

"You've been doing your best to serve the master these days, but little Ya'er, your loyalty has been misplaced. I am the head of the family!"

Xiao Ya'er was stunned on the spot when she heard the words, and it seemed that she had just realized what was wrong with her.

Su Chengrui waved his hand to ask Mu Yu to drag him down, he was exhausted after a day of tossing around, and now he just wanted to go back to his room and have a good rest.

"My lord, what about this man?"

Mu Yu kicked the tied woman, and the guy trembled in fright, looking at Su Chengrui with both shock and fear and pleading eyes.

She was just receiving money from others to do things for others.

"Tell the shopkeeper, I don't want to go to Shiwei Zhai to see this person again in the future!"

Mu Yu understood, and asked his subordinates to drag the two of them out, and when he came back, he saw Su Chengrui sitting on a bench with a cigarette between his hands, looking at the night outside the window, his back was inexplicably depressed and lonely.

"grown ups……"

Mu Yu stopped behind her, hesitant to speak.

Su Chengrui said, "You want to ask me, Xiao Ya'er just obeys orders, why do you only deal with him?"

Mu Yu nodded.

Su Chengrui looked at the bright moon hanging on the treetops. Even though the moonlight was white and flawless, it was still floating in the dark night like ink. She looked away and lowered her eyes and said, "Mu Yu, I have been traveling all these years. I have always been by my side.”

Su Chengrui just said such a sentence suddenly, but Mu Yu already understood it.

After buying Luoshangfang and giving it back to Luo Yun, he used Su Chengrui's connections and financial resources to secretly develop and strengthen his strength in the dark.

When Mu Yu knew this at the time, he still couldn't believe it. That man who looked as bright as the moon, cold and untouched by the world would have such ambitions.

Su Chengrui naturally knew this, as long as she didn't miss her main plan, she would let him go, and she didn't even mind helping him deal with the aftermath.

The next day, Luo Yunzhi woke up from the bed, and habitually asked Xiao Ya'er to bring him water to wash.

"woke up?"

Luo Yunzhi put on his clothes and came out from behind the screen, looking unexpectedly at Su Chengrui sitting at the table drinking tea, flipping through a book in his hand.

Luo Yunzhi glanced at the boy who entered the room carrying a washbasin, and his face changed into an unfamiliar one.He only paused for a moment, and soon returned to normal.

"Little Ya'er is too young, and has a strong temper. I specially picked a new one who is safe to serve."

Hearing Su Chengrui's words, Luo Yunzhi smiled and said hello, and let the servant wait on him to wash.For this situation, the two of them actually knew it in their hearts, but no one would bother to ask a word, and a good tacit understanding had already been formed.
