imperial concubine

Chapter 97
Anyone who has ever hunted knows that wolves are the most difficult beasts to mess with.Even if it is dying in the end, it will never let go of the opportunity to bite you hard.

More importantly, even if you successfully kill a wolf, the wolf pack that this wolf belongs to will attack you continuously, and no one can survive this kind of attack.

Hearing Li Hongsheng's words, Su Wan walked up to him, stared at Li Hongsheng's eyes and said, "You are now a fierce tiger fighting alone. Although you are very strong, if there is no strong tiger group, you You will be tied up one day. Now, I will give you this chance, as long as you are loyal to me in the future, I will protect your glory for the rest of your life."

Looking into Su Wan's eyes, although Li Hongsheng knew that his young lady was just a girl, at this moment in his heart, he couldn't feel any resistance.

So Li Hongsheng knelt down on the ground and said: "The villain Li Hongsheng is willing to go through fire and water for the young lady, and he will die!"

Seeing Li Hongsheng kneeling on the ground, Su Wan smiled triumphantly.There is another reason why Li Hongsheng was selected today, that is, I have already done favor to him, and now Shi Wei should subdue him!
Sure enough, Li Hongsheng, who was moved by his simple words, was immediately convinced by him, and even knelt down on the ground immediately, swearing allegiance to him.With him, he can be regarded as mastering the real power of the Hou Mansion.

Su Wan suppressed the smile on her lips, quickly helped Li Hongsheng up, and said to him, "Coach Li doesn't have to be like this. As long as the coach is loyal to me in the future, I will naturally not treat the coach badly, let alone let you go through fire and water. "

Li Hongsheng smiled honestly. Although he didn't know why he swore allegiance to Second Miss, Li Hongsheng could see that Second Miss was not an ordinary person. If he followed her in the future, he might have a great day.

After subduing Li Hongsheng, the two people brought out by Su Wan were all his own.So Su Wan asked Zhuru to lead the way, leading herself and Li Hongsheng to find Mrs. Ru who was kicked out of the mansion back then.

Not long after the three of them came to a small farmyard, Li Hongsheng knocked on the door, and it was a woman in her fifties who opened the door. Seeing the extraordinary demeanor of the three people outside the house, she was taken aback and said, "I don't know." What's the matter with the three?"

Su Wan carefully looked at the person who opened the door, and saw that she was wearing coarse clothes, which were very cleanly starched, her hair was messed up, and she was stuck with a wooden hairpin. Her face was full of wind and frost. His hands are covered with thick calluses.

After carefully looking at the person in front of him, Su Wan said with a smile: "Ma'am, we are here to buy things. Passing by your house, I feel a little thirsty. Can I ask you for a bowl of water?"

The man in the door looked at Li Hongsheng, who was tall and burly, and then saw Su Wan and Zhuru standing behind, with envy in his eyes, then nodded and said to Su Wan: "Come in! I just boiled the water, let me make some tea for you."

Su Wanzheng was worried that she had no excuse to get close to this woman, she immediately responded when she heard what the woman said, and then walked into the courtyard first.I saw some chickens, ducks and a pig were raised in the courtyard. There were three big houses directly opposite the door, with two side houses on each side.

The woman went into the room and took out several porcelain bowls, then poured a cup of very ordinary or even low-quality scented tea for Su Wan and the three of them, and then said to everyone with a smile: "Being poor, there is no good tea. Please ask a few people to make do with it." .”

Just like what the woman said, the tea is indeed very poor, not only does it not have the fragrance of tea, but the tea water also looks a bit cloudy.Su Wan was used to drinking Longjing Maojian on weekdays and naturally felt that this tea should not be drunk.

It's just that Su Wan didn't show it, but said with a smile: "Ma'am, you're welcome. You just need to drool, why do you have to pour tea? Ma'am, you are from this village?"

Although she was very polite, Su Wan didn't drink tea, but took advantage of this time to chat with that woman.If the news from the black clothes is correct, the person in front of her who looks like a peasant woman is the lady Ru who was as beautiful as a flower and jade back then.

Hearing Su Wan's words, the woman nodded and said, "I have lived here for more than ten years, and I know all the neighbors around. They can be regarded as people in the village."

Su Wan calculated carefully in her heart. When she drove Mrs. Ru out of the Hou's mansion, that Mrs. Ru was pregnant. Counting now, it has been more than ten years. In this way, the time can be matched up.

So Su Wan continued to ask tentatively: "It turns out that the aunt is not from here. I don't know where the aunt is from. How did she marry here?"

According to Heiyi's news, that Mrs. Ru was a girl that Wei Wuhou had taken a fancy to in Jingxi Mansion.At that time, Marquis Weiwu liked the girl very much, so he ordered his men to go to the girl's house to hire him, and married the girl back the next day.

The woman sighed leisurely and said: "I was originally from Jingxi Mansion, but I was exiled to this place later. I happened to be able to support myself here, so I stayed here."

Hearing the news that both of them fit the black clothes, Su Wan asked again: "So that's the case. How many people are there in the aunt's family? Why didn't you see the uncle and the son?"

The message in the black clothes clearly stated that Mrs. Ru was the one who raised the child by herself.Even if she was kicked out of the Hou's mansion, she did not want to remarry.

The originally cheerful woman, when she heard Su Wan ask this question, the smile on her face disappeared suddenly.After a moment of silence, he said: "The old man died a long time ago, and now only my son and I depend on each other for life."

Now, Su Wan is basically sure that the woman in front of her is that Mrs. Ru back then.She looked at the old lady and asked cautiously: "May I ask you, was your boudoir name Ruying back then?"

The woman sitting on the side suddenly showed a look of vigilance in her eyes, looked at the three of them carefully, then shook her head and said: "Miss is wrong. My boudoir name back then was not Ruying. Since you have already had tea, That old body will not be far away."

Before the tea on the table was stirred, the woman also felt from Su Wan's constant questioning that these people must not be passing merchants, and they might even be here for herself.That's why she took the initiative to ask the people in front of her to leave.

Although the woman denied Su Wan's last question, the look of vigilance in her eyes still did not escape Su Wan's eyes. At this moment, Su Wan finally affirmed that this old woman was the one who was kicked out that year. The mansion is like Mrs.

Hearing the words of the woman seeing off the guests, Su Wan did not get up, but said with a smile: "Speaking carefully, we are also your relatives, Madam. Can we only have a cup of tea when we come?"

A trace of panic flashed in the woman's eyes. Although she quickly calmed down, she was still clearly seen by Su Wan.Su Wan thought to herself, there is nothing wrong, this woman is the Mrs. Ru back then.

Hearing Su Wan's words, the woman frowned and said, "Why can't I understand what you are talking about? I have no relatives in my family for a long time. Who are you? Why did you drink a bowl of water at my house and say it was me?" Relatives? Is it possible that you are going to blackmail me?"

Su Wan still sat on the stool, blackmailing you?I am wearing the best Su embroidery on my body. Although the hairpins on my head are not worth a lot, it is not a problem to exchange two or three in this small courtyard of yours.Do I still need to blackmail you?

Pushing the rough porcelain bowl on the table in, Su Wan said to Madam Ru: "Madam, we have already investigated what happened back then. You and that gardener are indeed innocent, so I'm here now Looking for you, I want to invite you back home."

Su Wan was not clear about what happened back then.A lot of things are also heard from patchwork, but these are not important.As long as this child really belongs to Su Huaiyuan, even if the incident from that year really happened, he can make it disappear.

Mrs. Ru's eyes flashed a gleam, and then dimmed again. She sat on the chair and said, "Why bother? It's been so many years, why should I go back? I am in this small courtyard, calm and peaceful." life is pretty good.”

Hearing Mrs. Ru's words, Su Wan was stunned.She never thought before that Mrs. Ru would take the initiative to refuse to return to the Hou's Mansion, she only thought that when she came to the door, Mrs. Ru would definitely follow her back to the Hou's Mansion with gratitude.

However, Su Wan soon found a breakthrough. She smiled and said to Mrs. Ru: "Madam, even if you want to live here, don't you think about your son? He is an upright young master."

Mrs. Ru was pregnant one month earlier than Zhang, who was still a concubine. If Mrs. Ru hadn't been framed, the child who has now become a hunter should be the future Marquis of the Mighty Marquis Mansion!
Su Wan's words immediately moved Mrs. Ru. After living here for more than ten years, Mrs. Ru already knew the hardships and dangers here. If her child could ascend to the sky and become Lord Marquis in one step, how could she suffer such hardships?

Thinking of this, Madam Ru said to Su Wan: "Are you telling the truth? You never lied to me?" Su Wan said with a smile: "Madam has nothing now, so what can I lie to?"

Mrs. Naru looked at the high-quality Suzhou embroidery on Su Wan's body, and then at the coarse cloth clothes on her body, and couldn't help laughing embarrassingly.What Su Wan said makes sense, she has nothing now, what can Su Wan lie to?

After the embarrassment, Mrs. Ru said to Su Wan: "Since this is the case, then I will go back with you. Let my son inherit the position of Lord Hou."

From Madam's anxious look, it seems that the child can inherit the marquis after returning now.Such a simple person, no wonder he was expelled from the Hou Mansion by those scheming people in the Hou Mansion back then.

Su Wan shook her head to Mrs. Ru and said, "Ma'am, don't be in a hurry. Tell me about the events of the year in detail first, so that I can make arrangements carefully. Otherwise, troubles may arise."

Madam Ru was stunned for a moment when she heard Su Wan's words, and then sighed. Originally, she was going to rot this past in her heart, but now for the sake of her son's future, she can only tell those things.
