Su Shi turned a blind eye to Su Zhou's shocked expression and continued: "I just told the truth, so I think your investigation is meaningless at all."
Since the words were not congenial, Su Zhou and Su Shi had nothing to say, and the carriage fell into silence for a while.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage suddenly stopped, and then Lin Mo's voice rang out: "First Young Master, Second Young Master, the general's residence has arrived, you can get off the car."
Su Zhou got off the carriage first, but he walked away without waiting for Su Shi.
Lin Mo stared at his back blankly, wondering why the eldest son was so angry suddenly.
He looked at the second young master, but Su Shi's brows were furrowed and his face was bitter. He no longer had the high spirits of the past few days, as if he had a belly full of bitterness that he couldn't pour out.
"Second Young Master..."
Su Shi waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Brother, he's fine. He just had a few arguments with me. Let's go back home."
Back in his room, Su Shi lay on the bed after washing up.
The bed was still as soft and comfortable as before, and the environment was still as warm and quiet as before, but Su Shi couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed as before.
No matter who has experienced what Su Shi experienced today, it will be difficult to fall asleep.
So Su Shi lay on the bed, resting his head on his hands, trying to put together the incomplete fragments he knew today into a complete painting.
Ten years ago, Prince Xian died of illness.
The reason why Su Shi knew that the prince was worthy was because in the past ten years, when someone occasionally mentioned the prince, both civilians and officials could not help but sigh. It was a pity, which showed that the prince's actions were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
There is no doubt that the person Hui Niang loves is the prince. Therefore, after the prince died of illness, it is understandable that Hui Niang became lovesick and died with her beloved.
But two questions arise here. The first is why Huiniang is placed under house arrest? The second question is whether there is any secret in the handkerchief left by Huiniang?
If there was a secret, why did the people who imprisoned Hui Niang let this handkerchief appear? If there was no secret, why would the eldest brother insist that there was something wrong with the handkerchief?
Thinking of this, Su Shi couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He really shouldn't have made the atmosphere so awkward on the carriage, so that he didn't ask many questions clearly.
Why do the eldest brother and Zhou Xuan think there is something wrong with the cause of the prince's death? Why are they investigating the cause of the prince's death? Moreover, the prince has been dead for ten years, why are he still pursuing it so persistently?
At this time, he suddenly thought of something, and he was startled. He sat up suddenly, and then showed an incredible look in his eyes.
Although Zhou has a national surname, it is also a very common surname, so Su Shi never thought much about Zhou Xuan's identity.
But now he thought of a possibility, and this possibility was very high.
The reason why he didn't think so before was because he had never thought that a relative of the royal family with such a noble status would actually come forward to do business in person.
But is Zhou Xuan a princess or a princess?
Su Shi slowly lay down again, continuing to rest his head on his hands. Although he closed his eyes, he was not sleepy at all.
Zhou Xuan must be a princess, because so many things make sense.
She and the prince are brother and sister, and the relationship between the two should be very good and close.
Precisely because the relationship between the two was very good, she should have been the first to become suspicious of the prince's sudden death, so she paid attention to the cause of the prince's death. Even after ten years, she still wanted to get to the bottom of it.
And precisely because she is a princess, the eldest brother is always vague when talking about Zhou Xuan.
And the reason why she can navigate between the two opposing forces with ease is naturally because of her status as a princess.
Thinking of this, Su Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly. After all, it was unheard of for a princess Su Shi to like doing business.
The question is why did the eldest brother get involved? And why does the father have that attitude?
There were so many questions that Su Shi's head almost exploded.
Since he couldn't sleep, Su Shi got up, opened the door, walked into the small courtyard, and took a deep breath.
As the fresh air of vegetation entered the lungs and the turbid air was exhaled, Su Shi's agitated heart gradually calmed down.
In fact, as long as Su Shi is willing to investigate, there will definitely be answers to all the questions. The question is whether Su Shi is willing to drown in this muddy water.
On the carriage, Su Shi didn't ask in detail because his subconscious was deliberately avoiding the matter.
The position of the prince has always been a symbol of bloodshed in any historical period. If the cause of the prince's death is really revealed by Su Shi, who knows how big of a storm it will cause and how many families will be destroyed.
The best choice is to treat this matter as a dream. Since the elder brother and the others have not been able to find out the truth in ten years, Su Shi believes that they will not be able to find it in another ten years.
And as time goes by, the truth becomes harder to verify.
After thinking about this, Su Shi finally felt relaxed, and then walked back to the house.
Now he just wants to have a good sleep, forget everything that happened tonight, and go to the Qin Mansion for a banquet tomorrow.
I wonder if Qin Nan will show up tomorrow?
When thinking of Qin Nan, Su Shi's calm mood became a little excited again.
Su Shi had forgotten the last time he felt so excited.
However, although Su Shi was excited, it did not affect his sleep, and instead allowed him to have a good sleep.
So when Su Shi woke up, it was later than usual.
But it wasn't too late, just an hour.
When Su Shi woke up before, it was still dark. When he woke up today, the sun was already shining in front of his bed.
Su Shi sighed, stood up immediately, and started exercising as usual.
After he finished all the exercises and lay on the bed like a dead dog, Lin Mo appeared at the door.
"Second Young Master."
Lin Mo's eyes were full of respect for him just like last night.
"What's the matter?" Su Shi said weakly, his voice sounding like he had traveled eight hundred miles.
"Breakfast has been prepared for you. Can it be brought to the room for you?"
Su Shi slowly sat up and asked, "Where is my eldest brother?"
Lin Mo replied: "The eldest son went out early in the morning."
Su Shi stood up, walked towards Lin Mo, and said, "I'd better eat in the hall. It's very troublesome to carry it back and forth."
Su Shi walked towards the hall, followed by Lin Mo.
After walking a few steps, Lin Mo asked again: "After eating, where are you going, Master?"
Upon hearing this, Su Shi immediately said, "I'm not going anywhere except the Qin Mansion today. I'll just stay here."
He would rather stay in the General's Mansion now, even if he could count the bamboos in the entire bamboo forest several times while lying on the chair, he would rather not go out again.
Because he found that whenever he went out, he would always get into some trouble.
However, when someone is unlucky, trouble seems to come to their door even if they don't go out.
