Chapter 18
It was getting dark, and there was a tall willow tree next to the restaurant. There were unknown birds sitting on the treetops, chirping softly in the night.
The room was quiet. Su Yining's cheeks were flushed and she was dizzy, but her consciousness was clear.
She didn't look back at the person who was half-hugging her, and she recognized him just by his voice.
"Why are you here?" Su Yining followed Xie Yu's steps and was pulled into the house, and the door was closed with his free hand.
Xie Yu was not in a hurry to answer her words. He brought Su Yining to the table in the middle of the private room and poured her a glass of water.
"Drink some warm water first." As he spoke, Xie Yu looked Su Yining up and down. Seeing that she was fully clothed but looking very tired, he asked, "How do you feel now?"
Su Yining shook her head: "Nothing's wrong, I'm just a little dizzy, feverish, and my eyelids are a little heavy."
She thought for a moment and added: "It's like being sick."
Xie Yu didn't say anything, stretched out his hand to explore her head, and began to answer the question she just asked: "I just met your personal maid on the road. She was going to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to find the princess. I saw that she looked panicked and stopped her. She asked.”
"There should be nothing wrong." Xie Yu looked at Su Yining carefully again, and forgot to take away the hand on her forehead. The two of them were very close, and a cold wind blew from the window. "You are still awake now. It seems , like being sick."
Su Yining blinked and looked at him without speaking.
Her reaction was normal, nothing unusual.
Hearing what he said, Su Yining shook her head again, as if there was nothing wrong except for a little dizziness and fever. Maybe she was too cautious?
She opened her mouth and said softly: "Maybe I'm overthinking."
Xie Yu's palm was still on Su Yining's forehead. The two were very close. He could really smell the strong smell of alcohol on Su Yining's body. Xie Yu's voice lowered and he said softly: " After all, you have a treasure, so you should be careful no matter how careful you are. You did a good job."
She is good-looking, and she is still waiting for marriage, so she naturally needs to be more cautious.
Su Yining didn't understand what he meant and thought he was talking about the other half of the dowry she got, so she nodded: "There is no need for them to blatantly seek my wealth."
Xie Yu frowned, looked at her, retracted the hand on her forehead, and flicked her forehead.
"It's really difficult to communicate with you." He rubbed Su Yining's hair and pursed his lips. His words were full of disgust, but his tone was extremely doting. "You've always been like this, and it's fine. There’s nothing wrong with being cautious.”
Su Yining nodded as if understanding.
While the two were talking, the door of the private room was opened from the outside, and Chen Shuangyi and the doctor walked in furiously.
"Are you okay?" She was so anxious that she took Su Yining's hand and looked left and right.
Su Yining shook her head. Judging from the current situation, she might really be thinking too much.
But why are Zheng, mother and son suddenly so enthusiastic today? Still trying to get her to drink?
The doctor brought by Chen Shuangyi put down his medicine box and came to check Su Yining's pulse, and the results came out soon after.
"Replying to the princess, this girl is just a little bit cold. Maybe it has been rainy recently and she caught a cold at night."
Hearing the doctor's words, Su Yining's heart dropped completely. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her whole body felt a little relaxed.
With such an incident, Su Yining had no intention of going back to have a drink with Zheng and the others, so she sent someone to tell her that she was not feeling well and had to go home first.
The carriage from Prince Qin's Palace stopped at the door of the restaurant, so Su Yining borrowed the carriage from Prince Qin's Palace and returned to the house.
After she left, Zheng, mother and son also left the restaurant.
Su Yiru looked at the carriage of Prince Qin's Mansion that was gradually going away, and sighed: "Hey, she can actually dispatch people from Prince Qin's Mansion at will."
Mrs. Zheng also looked over there, tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and put one hand on Su Dian's arm: "Fortunately, you are smart and suddenly found that one of her female envoys was missing. Otherwise, if she was killed by Qin today, We’ve run into the princess, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get away so easily.”
Su Dian was silent, looking into the boundless night, with unclear emotions in his dark eyes.
After a while, the carriage of Uncle Zhongqin's Mansion was also brought over by a servant, and the mother and son got on the carriage.
As soon as Su Yiru got on the carriage, she started asking questions: "If this matter is not completed today, can you still be promoted?"
Mrs. Zheng actually also had such worries. By letting Su Yining go this time, she would be teasing the nobleman. She should annoy the nobleman, and he might not be able to help Su Dian anymore.
Su Dian glanced at Su Yiru: "Who said today's matter will not work out?"
He curled his lips: "Originally, I didn't want to do anything to her today."
Zheng and Su Yiru didn't know why, so they turned their attention to him.
Su Dian said calmly: "Originally, today, I just took her out for a look. If we don't show the prey to the hunter, how will the hunter know which one to catch when entering the paddock?"
Hearing his words, Su Yiru's heart clenched and she couldn't help but shudder. She couldn't imagine what kind of messy things Su Dian had learned in the academy after not seeing each other for three years.
Thinking of this, she started to sway again: "But that is our sister after all."
Su Dian raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Su Yiru. Mrs. Zheng slapped Su Yiru in the face and yelled: "Shut up! Where did you get your sister? I only gave birth to you two siblings. The other two just have the same father and the same surname as you."
Su Yiru covered her face, tears burst out of her eyes instantly, and nodded aggrievedly.
Madam Zheng pinched her arm in despair: "Cry, cry, cry, just cry. Put away your tears, go cry in front of your father, and beg him to bring us mother and son to the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet All three together!”
Su Yiru's tears stopped suddenly and she could be released freely.
She nodded: "Okay, I will ask dad tomorrow. Yesterday in the study, I saw the post about the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet, but it said that you can bring two family members, dad can't bring the three of us, right?"
Mrs. Zheng thought for a while: "Then go and ask your grandmother."
Su Yiru wondered: "Grandma was angry because I secretly took advantage of my second sister, and she has refused to see me for a long time."
Speaking of the first thing, Mrs. Zheng pinched Su Yiru's arm again: "You are really seeking death, what are you doing with her things if you have nothing to do?"
At this moment, Su Yiru really cried. She raised her head and complained: "Isn't it the same in the past? My mother never said anything, right? Why did she beat and scold me this time? It's because of my brother Now that I'm back, will my mother not care about me anymore?"
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and her voice became louder: "Didn't my mother teach my eldest sister all the time in the past? She is the legitimate daughter of the Earl's Mansion. She has gold branches and beautiful leaves. She can make stars and moons. If you want something, you don't have to ask whether the other party is willing. Give her up, just grab her, if you really don’t want to give up, send someone to beat her up, so that you don’t lose the dignity of the legitimate daughter of the Earl’s Mansion!”
"Mother, I am also the legitimate daughter of the Earl's Mansion. I just like my second sister's reputation. Why can't I get hers?"
"Didn't you say that all good things in the world should belong to the legitimate daughter of the Earl's Mansion?"
Zheng was so angry that her eyes turned black. She didn't expect that her biological daughter would actually listen to her deception about Su Yiyun, and even learn from it.
She raised her hand and slapped Su Yiru on the face again.
Being beaten one after another, Su Yiru felt aggrieved and angry, so she stopped the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.
Angrily, he walked alone in the direction of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion.
Mrs. Zheng was also confused and did not tolerate her, so she directly asked someone to drive away the carriage.
The place where Su Yi got off the bus was not far from Zhongqin Bo's Mansion, and it only took two sticks of incense to walk.
But Zheng sent someone to wait for her at the door, but Su Yiru was never seen.
She couldn't send people to look for her in a big way. If word got out that even if nothing happened, she would be gossiped about. Zheng was anxious and had nothing to do, and she didn't dare to tell Su Che.
I could only send a few confidants to look for him secretly.
It wasn't until noon the next day that she returned to her house, looking mysterious. No matter how Zheng asked, she refused to tell her where she went last night.
Also on that day, someone beat the Dengwen drum and accused someone of committing murder. After careful questioning, I didn't know who was being accused.
I only know that yesterday in the private room on the second floor of Baifan Building, a student who was just ranked in the top 11 of the high school died of unknown reasons.
Before he died, he still held a Supa in his hand.
A red plum was embroidered on the pure white silk fabric.
