8. Chapter 8

In the quiet and dreary Purple Pavilion, Su Xun looked around uneasily, and there were only four people left in the room: the second brother, Xiao Rui, her, and the county lord of Yiqian. As for the others, except for Xie Zhiyun, who left on his own, they were all brought back by the elders who rushed to hear the news.

Xiao Rui and Lord Yiqian are still there, they are waiting for someone. But she and her second brother wanted to leave, but they were stopped.

It was not someone else who stopped people, but it was the father of the girl who was burned, Luo Shun, the head of the Luo family.

The Luo family is an upstart force that has risen in recent years, with little background and a weak family background, but in Kyoto, this confidence and status are not worse than the others, because the Luo family relies on the big backer of Duanwang. Luo Shun is also a fierce general because of his outstanding achievements on the battlefield, and is valued by King Duan, and has a younger sister who was also accepted by King Duan as a side concubine.

And Luo Shun is very hot, and the girl who was burned today is his only daughter Luo Fu, he loves his daughter very much, and when he heard the news, he immediately jumped like thunder. Yes, he didn't go with his wife to visit his daughter Luo Fu in the hospital, but he came in a hurry, and without saying a word, he first whipped the guy who overturned the sweet soup, and then walked into the private room with a hideous face and asked what happened?

The group of little girls had already been frightened when they saw Luo Fu being burned before, and when they saw such a person coming in, some of them were frightened and cried on the spot, trembling slightly and talking about what had happened.

Luo Shun listened to everyone's words, but regardless of the indiscriminateness, he pointed the finger at Su Jueyuan, it was he who suddenly screamed, scared his daughter, and led him to retreat and hit someone, and then was burned!

Luo Shun decided that this was the case, and he didn't listen to the explanation at all, so he waved the whip, if it wasn't for the Duan King who came later to stop it in time, the second brother might have been beaten a long time ago.

Su Xun thought about it and landed his eyes on the door. Before a pillar of incense, King Duan saw that Luo Shun still wouldn't let Su Jueyuan go, so he had already pulled out to persuade him, but he didn't know if he could persuade him.

King Duan is a sensible person, but this Luo Shun is really an unreasonable person, how can she blame her second brother for today's events?

Although Luo Fu is really pitiful, not to mention the rest of the body, the little face was also burned red, and after screaming, although he was taken to the hospital by the royal grandmother who came downstairs in time, I am afraid that there will be some scars on this face. And how important the girl's appearance is, needless to say, even Su Xun is a little concerned, and he doesn't dare to touch it casually.

However, this matter really has nothing to do with the second brother, he didn't do anything at all, he just shouted, and it was still to protect her. And if it weren't for Rove trying to tease her, the second brother wouldn't have roared, in the final analysis, it was Rove's own fault.

Su Xun thought about it and glanced at Su Jueyuan beside him, he pursed his lips tightly and kept silent, as if he was blaming himself.

Although Su Xuanyuan has a skinny temperament, he is young in the end, and his heart is not hard, although he still has a trace of anger in his heart that Luo Fu wants to play tricks on his sister, but when he thinks of the face that was burned red and painful, he also has a faint feeling of uneasiness and guilt in his heart. And he was almost beaten, and at this moment, his mood became heavier and heavier, and his face was stern.

Seeing him like this, Su Xun moved his little fart, leaned over, and was about to open his mouth to comfort Su Jueyuan, when he heard a voice outside.

She turned her head sideways, looked at the person who came, pursed her lips, and called out with a humble face: "Father, mother." Immediately, he sighed secretly and said in his heart: I originally wanted to go back unnoticed, but how did I know that such a thing would happen, and the second brother was determined that he was the cause of the matter, even if he could go back, I am afraid he would not be able to hide it from his father......

Su Shaohua and Tao walked hurriedly and stepped into the room without a smile.

They learned that King Duan had sent someone to inform them of the news. At first, because the man only said that he was going to take Su Jueyuan back to his home, Su Shaohua didn't pay attention to it at all, but after a while, Tao rushed from the backyard anxiously, saying that Yuan Yuan was gone, he became nervous, and guessed that it might be Su Jueyuan, the kid, who took Yuan Yuan out, so the two rushed over in a hurry. On the way, I heard about what happened in Guilinju, although I couldn't figure out what happened, but it sounded like Su Jueyuan had done something wrong, so the two of them had already discussed, no matter what happened later, even if they saw their daughter, they had to be strict, so that they knew that they had done something wrong, and their father and mother would never be soft-hearted.

It's justβ€”

When Su Shaohua heard his daughter call him, he couldn't help but glance at her, and then immediately startled, ran over with a distressed face, picked up Su Xun, looked at her with great pampering, and said gently: "Yuanyuan, what's wrong with your forehead? Does it hurt? Who did it?"

It's no wonder that he is so nervous, although the big bag on his forehead has disappeared a little, but Su Xun's skin is white and tender, and the bruises are particularly obvious, but she showed a pitiful look at it at this time, and it makes people's hearts break when they see it.

Listening to his father ask so many questions, Su Xun just shook his head slightly, glanced at Su Jueyuan, and thought, you must not confess the second brother, the second brother is unlucky enough today.

This look did not escape Tao's eyes, and she knew that this bruise was inseparable from Su Jueyuan. However, although Tao saw that her daughter's head was blue, and her heart hurt, she was much calmer and could distinguish the severity.

Right now, the most important thing is to figure out what happened.

Tao tilted his head slightly, looked at Su Xuanyuan, who stood up as soon as he entered the door and was silent, and said word by word: "Say, what's going on?"

Su Jueyuan lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and was about to answer, but when he heard it, a clear voice came from the side: "Uncle, aunt, I will talk about today's matter." ”

Tao Shi was stunned for a moment, since she entered the door, her eyes were all on her own children, but she didn't notice that there were other people in the house, she followed the prestige, swept her eyes at the Yiqian county lord who could not be called her, and her eyes fell on the young man who was sitting on the side and getting up, looking at his handsome eyebrows, moth eyebrows lightly.

The face is familiar, but I can't remember who he is.

Su Shaohua recognized Xiao Rui, but his mind was all on his daughter, so he only nodded slightly and didn't make a sound.

Xiao Rui calmly walked to him, saw Tao's doubts, and smiled: "Auntie, I am the son of King Xu, Xiao Rui." ”

Xiao Rui, the son of King Xu?

As soon as these words came into his ears, a bulging, well-behaved and cute face appeared in Dow's mind, which made people want to pinch it. In fact, Dow really pinched it. At that time, King Xu and her husband were good friends, and Princess Xu often brought Prince Xu to play, and Tao was just in his early twenties, and his temperament was far less calm than now, and he thought that the eldest son was calm and did not like to laugh, and the second son was too skinny and too active.

However, since Princess Xu died of illness, King Xu has not come out, and this prince has naturally never come to the Rongguo Mansion again, and although she knows that her second son Su Jueyuan has dealings with the prince of Xu, she has never seen it again.

It's only been three or four years, but the soft and cute little doll has become a young man, and he can't recognize it.

"It turned out to be the prince of King Xu!" Tao looked at Xiao Rui with a smile, and said, "Say it!" Then, he listened to Xiao Rui methodically come out one by one, and while listening, he thought: This child is a pitiful, but it is excellent, and he is still as well-behaved and sensible as when he was a child.

Thinking of the old things again, Dow smiled.

She is already beautiful, and this smile is more and more bright and moving, and it is also girlish.

When King Duan walked to the door, he saw her smiling, and he couldn't help but be stunned, but he remembered when he was young.

Tao is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, and the Duchess of Zhenguo is a cousin who has a good relationship with the queen at the time and the queen mother today. The Queen Mother only gave birth to two sons, and she was very happy to see such a little girl, and often asked the Duchess of Zhenguo to bring her daughter to the palace to play, and even when it came to enlightenment, she also let Tao enter the palace to study with the princes.

And Tao has been cute and smart since he was a child, and he is the most outstanding in the school, among a group of princesses and daughters who serve in the school. The princes of the same age at that time, who didn't like her.

Of course, the most exciting thing is her appearance.

He still remembers that when she was young, the girl was dressed in a plain Confucian skirt, slowly walked out of the room, the warm sun was shining, the demeanor was dignified, the eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, the beauty was graceful and luxurious, the beauty was thrilling, and the first beauty in Kyoto deserved it.

After that, he naturally asked for countless marriages, and even he begged his mother to say goodbye, but he was rejected by Zhenguo Gong.

In the end, no one expected that she would marry the third son of Rong Guogong.

King Duan's eyes swept at Su Shaohua, who was holding his daughter on the side, this appearance is not bad, but in the end he is just a son, and he can't inherit the title. entered the career with strength, but was also suppressed by others, and only found an authentic idle official, what can he do?

The look of disdain and jealousy in her eyes was fully revealed, Su Xun caught a glimpse of King Duan standing at the door, looking at her father like this, she frowned slightly, but shouted quietly: "Lord Duan." ”

The voice was soft, but she deliberately raised the volume, and it happened that Xiao Rui had just finished speaking, and it was this call, the people in the room heard it, and they couldn't help but look at King Duan, and they called out one after another, and the county lord of Yiqian even shouted his father and ran to his side.

"No need to be polite. Duan Wang retracted his eyes, smiled on his face, touched the little head of the county lord of Yiqian, and walked into the house with her, stopped in front of Su Shaohua and Tao, glanced at Su Xun, and said with a smile, "This is Yuan Yuan, what a clever one." "Not only is it smart, but it looks a bit like Dow, and I think I'll be a big beauty in the future.

Su Xun blinked, but he didn't speak, but he felt that this king was by no means so kind as he seemed.

Tao and Duan Wang are also familiar with each other, and she nodded politely.

Seeing Tao nodding, Duanwang's eyes fell on her again, and he said in a soft tone: "People have been persuaded to go back, don't worry, this is an accident." ”

Tao would have known what had happened, and also knew that if it hadn't been for King Duan to stop it in time, her son Su Jueyuanzhun would have been beaten, she lowered her eyes and was about to say thank you, but she saw Su Shaohua holding her daughter and standing in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your help, but this matter doesn't bother the prince, I will go to Luofu to visit another day, so I will leave first." After speaking, he turned to Tao and said, "Jin'er, let's go back." ”

Jin'er is the name of Dow's boudoir.

"Hmm. Tao naturally would not object, so he answered, glanced at Xiao Rui with soft eyebrows, and then pulled Su Jueyuan out with Su Shaohua after him.

Duan Wang stood in place, and when Tao's back was gone, he withdrew his eyes, stroked the county lord of Yiqian, who was calling Daddy, leaned over and said, "Good, let's go back." ”

Lord Yiqian noticed King Duan's eyes, she didn't like it in her heart, pursed her lips, and said, "Daddy, why didn't my mother come to pick me up?" If my mother came, my father wouldn't look at other women.

"Isn't she taking care of her little brother?" replied Duan Wang impatiently. Princess Duan gave birth to another son two years ago, and now this attention is naturally on her son.

When Lord Yiqian heard this, he pursed his lips, stopped asking, and let King Duan hug him.

King Duan held the county lord of Yiqian in his arms, and said to Xiao Rui on the side: "Do you want to take you back?" Although he is not very familiar with King Xu, he can always meet him, because he has a good impression of Xiao Rui.

"No, I'm here in a carriage, thank you, uncle. Xiao Rui shook his head slightly and said modestly.

When King Duan saw him like this, he didn't say much, and walked out with Lord Yiqian in his arms.

The room was silent for a moment, only Xiao Rui was left, he slowly paced back to the table, sat down where Su Xun was sitting just now, picked up the teacup in front of him, rubbed his slender fingers carefully, and then, he flicked it gently.

"Ding"

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out of the darkness, bowed his head and knelt on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Go and check on this man. Xiao Rui's eyes were gloomy, he said in a low voice, paused, and said, "In addition, send back the green plums picked today...... Wang fu. ”

"Yes. ”
