"Husband?"
If I remember correctly, it was Chu Yan who rushed to save her just now, but now no one could be seen in the room.
Is it her imagination?
"Mrs. Chu, are you awake!?"
Su Liuye was about to get up and look for someone when Xiao Wu's voice came from outside. When she looked up, Xiao Wu was walking over with a surprised look on her face, holding hot water in her hand.
"Xiaowu, I..."
"Madam, take a good rest first and don't get up. The doctor said you were drugged and exposed to the smoke from the woodshed. You need to take a good rest now."
"I was drugged and passed out?"
Su Liuye rubbed her temples and thought hard, as if there was something like that.
She remembered that she was going to find Xiao Wu, and she met someone as soon as she went out——
Thinking of this, her eyes widened, "By the way, Xiaowu, someone did knock me out last night!"
"Who is it?" Xiao Wu became solemn, "Mrs. Chu, have you seen that person's appearance?"
appearance? Su Liuye frowned, "No, it was too dark at the time and I couldn't see at all. I only knew that he was a man with very rough hands."
Hearing this answer, Xiao Wu's face didn't look good. The area was too wide, and there were mines nearby, and there were many miners who specialized in mining.
These people are all men. Trying to find the person who took Su Liuye away from here is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Mrs. Chu, we will talk about these things later. You should drink the medicine first. This is what the doctor has prepared for you. The doctor is still resting next door. I will ask the doctor to come over and take a look at you later."
"good."
Su Liuye took the medicine handed over by Xiao Wu. It was dark and had a bitter smell.
She didn't like the taste very much, but there was nothing she could do about it, after all, it was the doctor's order.
Su Liuye pinched her nose and drank the medicine in one breath, the bitter taste lingering in her mouth.
Xiao Wu handed her a cup of tea, "Mrs. Chu, you have to rest for a while. I will help you find the doctor. Mr. Chu and the others are out for the time being and may not come back until later."
"out?"
Su Liuye was in a trance. She thought she would see Chu Yan when she woke up.
Probably seeing something wrong with her expression, Xiao Wu added, "Don't worry, Mrs. Chu, I have already sent someone to notify Mr. Chu. He will be back soon."
"It's okay, Xiaowu. If they are really busy with something, they don't have to rush back now."
"Don't worry, madam, I know how to do it."
Hearing Xiao Wu say this, Su Liuye felt relieved.
The doctor came over quickly to give her a diagnosis and treatment, and left after seeing that she was fine. Before leaving, he told her to take a rest recently.
"Madam, do you want to rest for a while?"
"No, I want to go out and have a look."
With that said, Su Liuye got up, changed her clothes, and went to the place where she was fainted last night according to her memory.
The weather was good today. When she came over to take a look, she discovered that there was a wooden door here. There was only a simple lock on the wooden door. Anyone could easily push it open. The person who took her away last night probably came in through here, right?
She inquired about it, and the housekeeper in the house told her that this door was the closest to the mine. Many miners went out here during the day and came back here at night.
Because of frequent use, the locks on the doors are hung casually, and are not officially locked until night.
This place is originally close to the yard where the miners live. People often come in and out. It would be very inconvenient to lock the door. So I might as well hang a lock here.
It is said to be a lock, but in fact it is just for show. Even without a key, this lock can be opened easily.
Su Liuye stepped forward and pulled the door lock, and it was indeed easy to get it.
From this point of view, it is not difficult for people from outside to come in...
Her eyes deepened, and she immediately thought of the fifth princess. Could it be that they had followed them all the way?
Apart from them, she couldn't think of anyone else at the moment.
"Mrs. Chu, have you thought of something?" Xiao Wu had been following her. Seeing her eyes, he immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Um."
Su Liuye nodded, but didn't say much. She arranged her clothes and went outside to look around, and found that there was indeed a path leading directly to the mine.
Because of the snow, the trail was covered with white snow on both sides. There was a section of the road in the middle that was trampled out of the mud and covered with footprints.
Looking at the dense footprints, Su Liuye knew that it would be impossible to find the person who attacked her today.
"Xiaowu, let's go back first."
She wrapped her robe tightly around her body, and the biting cold wind blew from the mountain forest.
Because of winter, the trees in the mountain forest are all bare, which makes people feel numb at first glance.
Su Liuye followed Xiao Wu back to the room. She looked down at the marks on her hands and was in a daze. She didn't expect that the fifth princess would be so ruthless. Even if she came to Pingyang Town, she would still want to get rid of her.
From this point of view, the fifth princess did know that Zhou Yun'er was not her biological daughter early on, but still chose to defend Zhou Yun'er. From this point of view, Zhou Yun'er was indeed of great use to the fifth princess.
"Mrs. Chu, please rest for a while."
Xiao Wu helped her tidy up the quilt and continued to light the heater next to her.
Thinking that Chu Yan and the others hadn't come back yet, Su Liuye went over to rest. At noon, Xiao Wu brought the food to her, and Su Liuye ate it in the room.
"Mrs. Chu, Mr. Chu and the others are back." Xiao Wu walked in quickly and said.
"real?"
Su Liuye's heart skipped a beat. She got up and followed Xiao Wu to the gate. From a distance, she saw a tall man standing in front of the gate. He was wearing a black fur-collared robe. There was no unnecessary expression on his resolute profile. , talking about something with the person in front of him.
Su Liuye stopped in the corridor and watched from a distance, her heartbeat suddenly started to accelerate, and she almost saw him in the crowd at a glance. He and Chu Yan haven't seen each other for a long time.
Not sure if someone else said something to him, Chu Yan suddenly turned around and looked over with a cold gaze. When he saw Su Liuye, Chu Yan's eyes suddenly became soft.
After saying a few words to the person next to him, he strode over and cast a deep, burning gaze on him. Chu Yan spoke, his voice low and magnetic, "A Liu, are you okay?"
"never mind."
Su Liuye shook his head, and his smiling eyes fell on the man in front of him. When he touched the heat in the other person's eyes, his cheeks turned slightly red, and then he lowered his head, his heartbeat speeding up slightly.
Chu Yan looked at her, her thin figure looking like she would be blown over by a gust of cold wind at any moment.
There was a hint of distress in his eyes, he untied his robe and put it on Su Liuye, and said softly, "Are you feeling well?"
"Much better, the doctor has just seen it." Su Liuye nodded softly, her cheeks feeling slightly hot.
