Chapter 88

The kitchen had already prepared meals, and as soon as Yun Chuwei and Su Yan entered, Meizi and Bai Tan came in to prepare the meals.

Meizi has been with Yun Chuwei for so long, and her mind is the most delicate and quick. Although her girl and uncle didn't speak, but just sat quietly, she noticed that the atmosphere between the two people was different from usual. There was a bit of indescribable tenderness and tenderness.

Meizi thought, could it be that the girl has figured it out and accepted her son-in-law?

Satisfied in her heart, Meizi put the small bowl of rice in front of Yun Chuwei, "Whatever you like to eat, girl, just ask your servant, and this servant will serve you some vegetables."

Yun Chu shook his head slightly, "You don't need to wait on me here, all go down."

Meizi was slightly surprised, but she didn't dare to ask more questions, and walked out with the rest of the maids.

When there were only two people left in the room, Su Yan, who was originally sitting across from her, moved to sit next to her.

Yun Chuwei's thoughts were still on the carriage just now, and when he saw Su Yan sitting over, he blushed for a moment.

"I didn't eat much when I was in Dongyang Houfu, are you hungry?"

Yun Chu nodded slightly.

Being disturbed by He Lianjin, she really didn't eat much when she was at her mother's house.

Su Yan gave her the cloth vegetables in a leisurely manner.

Yun Chuwei suddenly remembered something, "By the way, did the Second Prince come to our residence?"

"Yeah." Su Yan nodded, "I asked someone to arrange a yard for him. He's used to being free outside these few years, so don't worry about him."

As he spoke, Su Yan picked fishbone for her.

This time, Yun Chuwei never refused his hospitality.

Take the chopsticks and gently pick up a small piece and send it to your mouth.

The taste is very delicious, but more, it seems that he has exhausted the warmth of his mind.

"Jiuye." She looked at him and suddenly called out.

"Ok?"

"It's nothing, you eat too." Yun Chu lowered his head uncomfortably.

Only at this moment did she realize that there was a big difference between accepting him and just being a couple by agreement.

Before today, no matter how nice he was to her, she could directly refuse according to the agreement, not to mention his feelings, and accepting him, it seemed that everything would be different.

After accepting Su Yan, even the fish he picked out were delicious and delicious.

Su Yan noticed that she was uncomfortable, and said gently: "If you have anything to say, just say it. We are husband and wife, so there is no need to be so restrained."

Yun Chuwei thought for a while, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "This is the first time I have expressed feelings with others, and I have no experience at all. If I neglect you in the future, you... I hope you will forgive me a lot."

She felt that treating lovers was different from treating relatives. She had a hundred ways to take care of Yunzheng or Yunchong, but when it came to Su Yan, she was at a loss.

After all, they have just started, and they are both first loves. Even if they bear the title of husband and wife, it is only for outsiders to see. When they get along in private, she will still be as shy as a little daughter.

A smile appeared on the corner of Su Yan's lips, "Just because of this, why are you restless all the time?"

Yun Chu looked up slightly in astonishment, and seeing him smiling happily, she couldn't help being annoyed, and glared at him, "You're making fun of me!"

"Because you're stupid." Su Yan patted her head, "Since the knots in your heart have been untied, and you plan to accept me, why do you have to worry so much?"

Yun Chu said in a low voice, "But the relationship is a matter for both parties. I'm afraid that if I don't do well, you're bored in your heart and refuse to talk about it. After a long time, there will be a estrangement."

She has her own principles, and when she doesn't accept it, she will reject all his good things. Once she accepts it, it is equivalent to shouldering a kind of responsibility. She has to be responsible for his feelings, instead of leaving him alone from beginning to end Giving unilaterally, and then she enjoys and even squanders his contribution contentedly.

But it was indeed the first time for her to experience feelings, and she didn't know where to start, so she was at a loss.

"Yes." Su Yan agreed very much, "Emotions are a matter for both parties, but giving is a matter for me alone. I don't want to put too much pressure on you, I don't want to give you too much worry, I hope we can be together, you can live Be carefree. So, don’t think about those things that you don’t need to think about in the first place, okay?”

Yun Chuwei suddenly chuckled, "Doesn't that mean I don't love you enough?"

Su Yan said seriously: "For me, love is not about how much I give, you have to pay back in equal value. Your greatest love for me is that no matter how many peach blossoms and pear blossoms appear in the future, there will only be love in your eyes." In Xuan Guogong's mansion, there is only Yan Gui Pavilion, and this is your eternal home, that's enough."

Yun Chu smiled and nodded obediently, "Yes, I see."

After a day of tossing around Dongyanghou's mansion, Yun Chuwei was already tired, so after eating, he asked someone to prepare water for a bath.

When he came out, Su Yan held a large flannel towel in his hand, "I'll help you wring your hair."

Yun Chuwei felt a little embarrassed, but sat in front of the mirror anyway.

Su Yan moved gently, looking at her in the bronze mirror from time to time, and then raised the corners of her lips slightly.

After all the hair was wrung out, Su Yan put the velvet towel on the tray beside her, hugged her from behind, said nothing, just sniffed the seductive fragrance in her hair.

Yun Chuwei didn't struggle, and quietly leaned against his arms.

"Little girl."

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yan's hoarse voice came from behind his ears.

"Ok?"

"Are you sleepy?"

She thought that he was about to say some emotional words because of his feelings, but she didn't expect it to be this sentence.

"I'm a little sleepy." Yun Chu drooped her eyelids slightly. She has experienced too many facts this day, and she has no extra brain to think. The only thing she wants to do now is to sleep well, hoping to wake up tomorrow , those messy things can be less.

Before returning to his senses, Su Yan picked her up and put her directly on the bed.

Yun Chuwei's heart beat a little faster.

Su Yan was afraid that he would lose control, so he didn't dare to touch her too much. After putting her down, he straightened up immediately, "Go to sleep first, I may not come back until later."

"Where are you going?" Yun Chu asked slightly.

Su Yan said: "The person who is going out this time is Luo Shuxuan. He has little experience in the battlefield. I am worried that something will go wrong, so I have to go to check it in advance, so that he will not panic when the time comes. This is also the order of the emperor and queen."

Looking at Yun Chuwei again, his eyes softened naturally, "Good boy, go to bed first if you're sleepy, don't worry about me."

When turning around, Yun Chuwei suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Su Yan was stunned.

Yun Chu sat up slightly, and met his eyes when he turned his head.

"What's wrong?" Su Yan sat down on the edge of the bed.

Yun Chu moved his body slightly, approached him, raised his head, and pressed a superficial kiss on his lips.

Immediately retracting his body, Yun Chu said slightly: "It's okay, you can go."

Su Yan didn't expect her to take the initiative at all, his whole body froze, and his mind went blank for a moment.

After a while, he hugged her back, called "Wei Wei" in a low voice, and then kissed her back.

I don't know how long it took before he let go.

Yun Chuwei's entire face was flushed red, no different from cooked shrimp.

"You, why are you like this?"

She was a little dissatisfied and complained softly, she just kissed lightly, but he actually...

Su Yan hugged her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her hair, "I always lose control of anything related to you, what should I do?"

In the past, he always thought that it would be good if he could marry her and come in. After marrying her, he thought that it would be good if she could respond, even if it was only once, but now, he wants more.

Hearing these words, Yun Chuwei felt a tinge of warmth in his heart.

At this time, a little maid's voice came from outside, "Jiuye, someone from the Su residence has passed on a message, saying that the fifth young master is not doing well, and the fourth wife asked Jiuye to go and have a look."

The good thing was interrupted, Su Yan frowned, had no choice but to let go of Yun Chuwei, and said in a low voice, "Does the Su family have no money to hire a doctor?"

The little maid said: "It is said that four or five doctors have been invited in succession, but the fourth wife has no choice but to send someone to invite Master Jiu."

Yun Chuwei broke free from his arms, "Since there is something to do, then go and help, I'll go to sleep first."

Su Yan looked at her with a smile, "I really want to find a rope to tie you to my body so that you can always be with me."

Yun Chu slightly rolled his eyes, "Then you might be exhausted to death."

Su Yan was silent for a while, then asked her, "Are you going?"

"forget it!"

Yun Chu slightly shook his head.

You don't need to think about it to know that Su Li collapsed because of what happened that day, and her mentality is depressed. She will only add fuel to the flames if she passes by at this time. On her?

Su Yan covered her with the quilt, got up and walked out.

-

Su House.

Ever since Su Li was helped back from the garden by the servants that day, she has been lying on the bed without eating or drinking, without moving, without any reaction, and her eyes only occasionally rolled a few times. He can't seem to hear it all.

Princess Linglong was so frightened that she hurriedly asked for a doctor, but four doctors were invited in a row, and they all said that Su Li had a heart disease, and ordinary medicines could not heal her at all.

When Mrs. Su heard the news, she saw her most beloved grandson lying motionless on the bed with tears in her eyes as soon as she entered the door. Except that her eyes were still open, the rest was no different from death.

The old lady Su wailed loudly, "My brother Li, what kind of evil did you do--"

After crying for a while, she glared at Princess Linglong, "What's the matter? I heard that he was fine two days ago, why did he become like this in the blink of an eye?"

Princess Linglong was also full of helplessness, "On the day Mrs. Qingluan went to Rongxi Hall to serve tea, my daughter-in-law saw Brother Li sitting dejectedly in the garden with bloodstains on the back of her hands. My daughter-in-law went to pull him, but he didn't get up, so she asked me again. , how did Zijin die?"

As soon as she heard the word "Zijin", the old lady Su's face froze, and she hurriedly waved her hands away from the maids and other daughters-in-law, leaving only Su Li, old lady Su, and Princess Linglong in the room. When she was young, the old lady was only willing to speak, her brows were deeply frowned, "What did you say? Brother Li asked you the cause of Zijin's death?"

"Yes."

"Then what did you say?" Mrs. Su's old eyes were full of sternness.

It is true that she bribed someone to kill Zijin while she was running away with money, but she did it for the sake of Brother Li's reputation. There will be no future troubles, and in the future, Zijin will bring Brother Li's heirs back to recognize his relatives, and the reputation of the Su Mansion will be completely ruined.

"Daughter-in-law didn't say anything," Princess Linglong said.

The old lady Su felt relieved, and sighed, "Isn't this child just a singer? That kind of woman has a humble status, how can she be respectable if she is married?"

Princess Linglong glanced at Su Li nervously, and said in a low voice, "Daughter-in-law thinks, brother Li must have seen Mrs. Qingluan and was agitated."

Old Madam Su's pupils shrank suddenly, her face full of anger, "Speaking of that little hoof, I feel angry all over. I used to blame my clumsy eyesight for underestimating her. I didn't expect that she would slap me in front of so many people." Face, when I find a chance in the future, I must deal with her properly!"

"Xiaoxiao."

Su Li suddenly had a reaction on the bed, opened and closed his mouth, and said two words.

Princess Linglong was overjoyed and hurriedly leaned closer to listen, but no matter how she listened, there were only these two words in Su Li's mouth.

"Who is Xiaoxiao?" Mrs. Su's face was gloomy.

Why did Zijin die, and here comes another Xiaoxiao?

These foxes just don't know how to advance and retreat, so whoever wants to enter the gate of the Su family can enter?

"My daughter-in-law doesn't know either." Princess Linglong shook her head, "I only heard that brother Li spent all his savings for her, and on the day of the wedding of the ninth younger brother, he even used all his remaining money to buy dowry gifts I sent it over, but who would have expected that the person and the dowry are all gone.”

When Mrs. Su heard it, was it okay?

Slapping the table heavily, Old Madam Su was furious, "It's clearly a scam, why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Brother Li has accumulated a lot of savings over the years, tens of thousands of taels, and he was just like that People cheated you, mother, you didn't think of going to the government to report the case and taking that shameless brat into jail to suffer?"

Princess Linglong glanced at Su Li vainly, and lowered her voice, "It's not that the daughter-in-law refuses to speak, it's that brother Li refuses to speak, and also refuses to report the case."

The old lady Su looked at Su Li angrily, "Why is the Su family full of love? An old man is like this. Naqu's family has been sick for 20 years. What ecstasy soup.

Now it's Xiao's turn, one death is not enough, and another cannibal and harmful little hoof comes, who cheated so much money and ran away without saying hello.

Brother Li, brother Li, I have had you in my mouth since I was a child, you must be clear about how grandma treats you, driving Zijin away is for the sake of your future, but how can you be so stupid ?So much money is spent on a woman you just met a few days ago, what is it about her that deserves your heart and soul? "

"Old ancestor." Su Li's face was extremely haggard, her eyes were still staring at the roof of the tent, her mouth was dry and cracked, but her expression was firm, "I don't allow you to say that about Xiaoxiao."

She is such a noble and pure person, how can there be such unbearable words from the ancestors?
The old lady Su's face immediately fell down, "Listen! What are you talking about? You were tricked into being a pauper by that woman and you still want to protect her. If that woman is really so good, then you are half dead now, why doesn't she show up? To see you?"

Su Li pursed her lips tightly.

A woman came in through the curtain outside, "Old lady, fourth wife, Master Jiu is here."

Princess Linglong hurriedly suppressed her emotions, and said excitedly: "Please come quickly."

The old lady Su asked: "You invite Lao Jiu to see Brother Li?"

Princess Linglong responded, "There are so many doctors who are not good at it, and I really have no choice but to make such a bad plan."

While speaking, Su Yan had already opened the curtain and came in.

Princess Linglong stopped talking, and said hello to Su Yan, and hurriedly said, "Ninth Brother, help Brother Li to find out what's wrong with him. Why do all the doctors say there is no way?"

Su Yan walked over, glanced lightly at the old lady sitting in front of the bed, "Please ask mother to move, I'm going to see Xiao Wu."

On the day the bride served tea, Su Yan's attitude obviously angered Mrs. Su, but she still hasn't found a place to vent her anger.

Looking up at Su Yan, the old lady asked, "I heard that the Second Highness returned to Beijing and lived in your house?"

Su Yan was noncommittal.

The old lady took advantage of the topic, "The maids and women in your house are all newcomers. They are all slow-witted and stupid. I'm afraid they can't serve the master well. If it's really not possible, I'll arrange a few more to go there tomorrow, so as not to Your daughter-in-law, who just passed through the door, doesn't know how to be polite, she offended the nobleman in a moment of recklessness and caused her death."

Is this a plan to take the opportunity to plant eyeliner in Xuan Guogong's mansion?

Su Yan curled his lips coldly, and said with a smile: "It's still mother who is considerate. His Highness always likes to favor young and beautiful little maids. If you arrange a few more maids to go there, maybe someone will be able to get a good name, isn't it?" Isn't it a beautiful thing?"

Su Yan spoke casually, but the old lady's back was already covered with hair.

The "grace" of the demon king in the world is to use extraordinary means to slowly torture the little maids to death. As for the status?Don't be kidding, it is a blessing to be able to save a life under the hands of the demon king. Even the maids in the palace were so scared that they threw themselves into the well. Minute?

The old lady shuddered three times when she thought of the unknown methods of the Demon King of Confusion, stood up and staggered away.

Su Yan just sat down and stretched out his fingers to feel Su Li's pulse.

Princess Linglong expressed her anxiety, "Ninth Brother, how is he doing?"

Su Yan withdrew his hand and sighed, "Heart disease is hard to cure."

Princess Linglong was in a hurry, "But there's nothing you can do?"

Seeing that it was Uncle Jiu coming, Su Li immediately sat up propped up and said to Princess Linglong: "Mother, old ancestor, you go out first, I have something to say to Uncle Jiu alone."

At such a time, Princess Linglong could not follow him, and immediately helped the old lady go out.

Su Li fixedly looked at Su Yan, her eyes filled with sadness, "Uncle Jiu."

Su Yan's face was expressionless, "What do you want to say?"

Su Li hoarsely said: "I want to see her, please, let me see her once, just once, okay?"

Su Yan looked firm, "She is your ninth aunt."

"No!" Su Li was most afraid of hearing this sentence, and when she heard it, her brain hurt badly, "She is Xiaoxiao, Uncle Jiu, you must have made a mistake, she can't be your wife, it can't be It's Yun Chuwei, she is the Xiaoxiao I introduced to you, Uncle Jiu, don't you remember? Our uncle and nephew accompanied her to drink at the Tanxianglou."

"I have seen that girl." Su Yan said unhurriedly: "I am also amazed at the similarity between her and my wife's appearance, but unfortunately, Yun Xiao is Yun Xiao, Yun Chuwei is Yun Chuwei, they are not the same person."

"Uncle Nine." Su Li was almost crying, but still couldn't face all this. She put her hands into her hair and hugged her head, her lips were trembling, "I really just want to see her once."

Su Yan didn't answer.

Su Li's feelings for Yun Xiao, oh no, or his feelings for Zi Jin, has evolved into an almost crazy obsession. Yun Xiao is just a kind of emotional support for him, what he really cares about, what he really wants, From the beginning to the end, it was just the famous actress named "Zijin".

With great effort, I managed to pry Wei Wei's heart open and let her agree to accept him, absolutely not because of one Su Li ruining everything.

"Uncle Jiu..." Su Li turned over, knelt on the bed and faced Su Yan, "You and my nephew, you can't bear to see me get hit and depressed because of this incident, right, little nephew?" I have no love in my life, and my only wish is to see her."

As he said that, he kowtowed, "I hope Uncle Jiu will be successful."

Su Yan's expression remained unmoved, and he looked at Su Li coldly, "Since my wedding until now, you have seen her twice."

Su Li opened her mouth to refute.

"But what happened?" Su Yan didn't give him a chance to speak, "Did she admit that she was Yun Xiao in front of you?"

Su Li was startled.

"I've said it a long time ago, they are just similar in appearance, not the same person, you just don't believe it."

"But..." Su Li still wanted to speak.

"You saw Wei Wei when the Su Mansion held a banquet." Su Yan continued to interrupt, "Although I never saw the details of the banquet with my own eyes, I heard a lot of people say that you were in front of everyone. Humiliate her, tell her to get out of Su's house, all these are true, right?"

Su Li was anxious, "Uncle Jiu, she was wearing a veil at that time, besides... besides, Yun Chuwei at that time was completely different from the one now."

"What's different?" Su Yan asked coldly.

"She acted useless at the banquet back then, which is totally different from now. Not to mention me, even if it was me, I might not be able to recognize such a big contrast, right?"

Su Yan smiled, "I'm not you. If I love someone, don't say she just wears a veil. Even if she changes her skin, I can still recognize her."

Su Li choked.

"Don't say any more." Su Yan stood up and didn't want to stay any longer, "It's impossible for Wei Wei to come to see you."

"Uncle Nine, Uncle Nine——"

Looking at Su Yan's resolutely leaving figure, Su Li's heart was twisted like a knife, and she slumped on the bed with a face full of pain.

Princess Linglong and Mrs. Su came in immediately. Seeing his appearance, Mrs. Su was annoyed and annoyed, "Isn't Lao Jiu a miracle doctor? Why can't he even look down on such a small problem?"

Princess Linglong didn't speak.

Su Li looked at Old Madam Su with eyes full of prayers, "Old Ancestor, my grandson has something to ask for."

At this time, not to mention it was just a small request, even if she asked her to pick the moon from the sky and give him to hug and play with, the old lady would have nothing to say.

"Good boy, don't worry, speak slowly."

Signaled Princess Linglong to pour a glass of water.

Su Li shook her head and said that she would not drink, her eyes were burning, "The grandson wants to see Aunt Nine, can the old ancestor arrange it for the grandson?"

The old lady Su immediately lost face, "Why her?"

Even though I asked this question, I already had the answer in my heart. The appearance of Mrs. Qingluan clearly resembled Zijin who had been dead for many years. Even I was shocked when I saw it. It's no wonder Brother Li had such a big reaction up.

Princess Linglong also frowned, "Brother Li, that's your Ninth Aunt, how can you meet me casually?"

"I only have this one wish." Su Li's eyes gradually dimmed, "If you don't help me fulfill it, I will continue to not eat or drink, and when I die, I will count."

Old Madam Su was very frightened, "Bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Su Li lay down, staring at the roof of the tent with empty eyes, her eyeballs motionless.

He didn't eat or drink for the past three days, he was already emaciated like a mummy, and his appearance at this time was even more frightening. After all, he was the most beloved grandson. My precious grandson just hurt his body in such a fit of anger.

Gritting her teeth, Mrs. Su told Princess Linglong, "Tomorrow morning, get someone to make preparations, and ask a few people to send Brother Li to Duke Xuan's mansion."

Princess Linglong hesitated, "Mother, is it inappropriate to do this?"

How can Old Madam Su care so much, "This person has come to the door in person, so there is no reason why he didn't see him?"

After listening to the old lady's arrangement, Su Li's mood finally eased a lot, and she finally agreed to eat, and barely finished a bowl of shredded chicken and millet porridge before resting.

-

When Su Yan returned to Duke Xuanguo's mansion, Yun Chuwei was already fast asleep. She was lying on her side, curled up in a small ball under the quilt.

The lights in the room were still on, and a thin layer spread over her peaceful sleeping face, her cherry lips were light pink, revealing half of her fair neck.

Su Yan took advantage of the situation and sat down, and couldn't help stroking her face with his fingers, tracing the delicate outline carefully.

Yun Chuwei woke up suddenly, sat up straight out of instinct, and saw clearly that the person in front of her was Su Yan. She breathed a long sigh of relief, and immediately returned to the state of sleepy eyes, and her words were a little vague, "Why are you now just came back?"

Su Yan hugged her into his arms, "After leaving Su's mansion, I went to Shou Renbo's mansion again."

Yun Chu gave a lazily "hmm", "Is everything done?"

Su Yan said: "I'm afraid there will be trouble on Su Li's side."

He told Yun Chuwei about Su Li's situation and the conversation with their uncle and nephew when he was in the Su Mansion just now.

"According to my guess, Su Li will definitely not let it go." Su Yan said: "In the next two days, he will definitely make some moves. I am worried that if I go to the barracks during the day, if they come to the door, you will be alone. Can people handle it?"

"Oh——" Yun Chuwei suddenly sneered, "I live in Xuan Guogong's mansion, and they are from Su's mansion. If they come to my house by themselves, is it reasonable for them?"

The word "my family" made Su Yan suddenly feel like his heart was stuffed with honey.

"Wei Wei." He couldn't help calling out in a low voice.

Yun Chuwei leaned in his arms, closed his eyes, and his voice was still very lazy: "Don't worry, I have more experience and a better position than you in dealing with this villain. Don't be afraid of my poisonous mouth, just bump into it." gone."

Su Yan thought about it again, that's right, who has she ever suffered from?Even if there is, it is only temporary, and after that, it will be returned several times later, and I seem to be overly worried.

"Well, it's late at night, go to sleep!"

The little episode just now made Yun Chuwei's drowsiness slowly subside. She shook her head, "I can't sleep anymore."

Su Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, "Are you disturbed by me?"

"Yeah." Yun Chu nodded his head as a matter of course, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone, "So you have to be responsible for telling me the story."

Su Yan couldn't help laughing, "Okay, what do you want to hear?"

"I want to hear what kind of grievances there are between the Lu family and the Su family." Yun Chu said slightly.

After hearing this, Su Yan suddenly fell silent.

"What's wrong?" Yun Chu blinked in confusion.

"Why do you suddenly want to hear about the grievances between these two families?" He asked.

"I'm curious."

She was indeed curious, didn't they all say that aristocratic families value face the most, even if there are grievances, they won't put them on the surface?
But when Su Yan accompanied her to the Lu Mansion, she clearly saw the look of seeing a ghost on the face of the servant in the Lu Mansion. The visit will surprise the people in the Lu Mansion.

Su Yan thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not so much the grievances between the Su and Lu families, but rather the grievances between the Lu Qu families."

song?
Isn't that Mrs. Jingyao's surname?

Yun Chuwei's thoughts changed, "Is it related to mother?"

Su Yan nodded, "This matter has to start with Lu Xiuyuan's grandfather's generation."

It turned out that Lu Xiuyuan's grandfather, Lu Song, did not make his fortune in the capital city, but in Fengyang County, a small remote county in Southern Province.

At that time, Lu Song and Su Yan's grandfather Qu Dashan were best friends.

However, Lu Song is a businessman, while Qu Dashan is the magistrate who works for the county magistrate, and is mainly responsible for the management of documents and warehouses.

One year, when the imperial court expropriated a batch of military supplies and medicinal materials, when the task was assigned to Fengyang County, the county magistrate handed over the matter to Qu Dashan.

It happened that Lu Song was in the business of medicinal materials. Qu Dashan was glad that he had such a close friend, so he approached Lu Song, hoping that Lu Song could help him settle the matter according to the standard of the imperial court.

At that time, Lu Song agreed without hesitation, and also vowed that he would live up to the entrustment.

But what Qu Dashan didn't expect was that in order to profit from it, Lu Song actually replaced one of the medicines with other medicines with similar effects at a lower price.

The batch of military supplies and medicinal materials were found out before they left the county, and at that time, Lu Song had already made a lot of money.

The higher authorities convicted and asked the county magistrate to thoroughly investigate the matter.

The county magistrate was naturally the first to detain Qu Dashan, who was in charge of this matter, and put him in a prison for various tortures.

After receiving the news that Qu Dashan was arrested, Lu Song quietly packed up his things and ran to the capital with his whole family.

At that time, Lu Chuan, Lu Song's third son, was in love with Qu Dashan's daughter, Qu Luo, and they were childhood sweethearts.

The Lu family left Fengyang County, Qu Luo searched for help everywhere, sold all the valuables in the family, and came to the capital after several rounds. Originally, she planned to avenge her father, but she had no relatives in the capital, even though she had a few taels of silver in her hand. , I don't know who to take it to in order to save her father.

When she was most desperate, she met Su Zhengcheng.

Su Zhengcheng was bewitched by Qu Luo's beauty, and brought her back to the Su Mansion, promising that he would do his best to help her rescue her biological father.

Just like that, Su's mansion had an extra fifth concubine.

Lu Chuan accidentally learned that his fiancée had entered Su's mansion and became Su Zhengcheng's fifth concubine. He was heartbroken and prepared a large amount of money to go to the door of Su's mansion to redeem Qu Luo.

In this era, concubines can be used to buy and sell at will. At that time, Qu Luo was just Su Zhengcheng's concubine, and she didn't have an imperial title, so she couldn't get into the Su family clan. If someone from her natal family wanted to redeem her with silver, it was fine.

But Su Zhengcheng was too greedy for Qu Luo's beauty, and he declared that he would never let Qu Luo leave the Su family, and when Qu Luo saw Lu Chuan, her eyes no longer had the old love, only an overwhelming hatred, so She did not agree to go with Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan refused to comply and made a big fuss with the Su family. At that time, the incident was very violent. Since then, the Su and Lu families have formed a relationship, and they will not communicate with each other until now.

After listening to Su Yan's words, Yun Chu sighed inwardly, never expecting her mother-in-law to have such a rough experience when she was young.

"Then, was grandpa really rescued?" Yun Chuwei was more concerned about this issue, so it's not a trick of the old man to trick his mother-in-law, right?
"It came out." Su Yan said sadly, "However, what came out was a corpse."

Yun Chu's heart shrank slightly.

"Grandfather failed to withstand the torture in the prison and died."

"Then Lu Chuan, where is Master Lu San?" Yun Chuwei asked again.

When she went to the Fan Mansion before, she had heard about the Lu family introduced by Fan. She had only heard of the eldest master, Lu Jiaping, and the second master, Lu Jiaxing, but she had never heard of Fan's mention of the Lu family's third master, Lu Chuan.

"He, he has been a monk for many years." Su Yan said: "Not long after returning to the Su Mansion, he went to Longquan Temple to become a monk, and he has never been back since then."

"However." Su Yan changed the subject, "One year when I went back to visit my grandfather's grave, I met him, and only then did I know that he visits my grandfather's grave every year."

"Are you repenting for his father?" Yun Chuwei said, "Thinking about it, the third master still couldn't let Mother go, otherwise he wouldn't have to go to this point."

"In any case, these things have already turned the page." Su Yan said: "No matter how much resentment there is now, the ending that has been set cannot be undone. My grandfather will not come back to life, and I am destined to be Su Yan. The children of the Lu family will not belong to the Lu family."

Yun Chu frowned slightly, "I don't understand, since Lu Chuan loves mother so much, why didn't he stand up when the incident happened, even if he couldn't help mother, even if he stayed by her side to comfort her, it would be better than him following his father directly. Isn’t it much more useful to run away to the capital? If he did this, wouldn’t his mother hate him even more? Also, since he decided to follow his father to the capital, why did he want to redeem his mother later, or even Going to my grandfather's grave to confess? Did he deliberately show his mother these behaviors, or did he want to make himself feel better?"

"I don't know very well." Su Yan shook his head. "The things of the previous generation are too long ago. Besides, it took me a long time for my mother to reveal them to me."

"Sigh..." Yun Chuwei didn't know whether to say that Lu Chuan was really stupid or that he really had something to hide.

Running on his own, causing the woman he loves to bump into walls everywhere, and finally came to the capital where he was not familiar with, and was struggling.

Even if he later took a lot of money to redeem Qu Shi, the money would not be able to erase his crimes.

For this matter, it would be impossible for any woman to say forgiveness easily.

It's also because of Qu's kind heart, otherwise Yun Chuwei would have tried every means to kill that man if she had been replaced.

"The story is over, and it's time for you to go to bed."

Su Yan looked down at her, his eyes were as soft as water.

Yun Chu nodded obediently, "Okay." Slowly closed his eyes.

Su Yan stared at her sleeping face, finally couldn't help it, bent down and kissed her forehead before going to sleep on the floor.
