Chapter 165: Sand in the Palm (12)

"Wait. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

Su Changge was about to take the cup, but who would have thought, but the woman in front of her suddenly stopped, took out a piece of fine silk dipped in tea and gently wiped it on her lips.

The warm tea ran down the silk cloth and stained the chapped lips, and the feeling of hot and thirsty was slowly smoothed out.

After wiping for a while, the woman in front of her handed over the teacup.

"Don't worry, swallow slowly. ”

Su Changge stared at the woman in front of him with burning eyes, trying to see a trace of abnormality from her demeanor and look, but there was nothing.

The affectionate eyebrows and eyes, the concerned demeanor, are all real.

There is not the slightest hint of falsification.

The last trace of defense in the bottom of her heart was also lost between the woman's careful actions of wiping her lips with water.

On the afternoon of the day Su Changge woke up, he offered his farewell.

I followed him, out of Aoihime's house, and came to a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere.

"Coming back?"

A figure on the recliner turned around idly and asked lightly.

It was an elegant and kind young man, with a folding fan in his hand.

When I saw me following behind Su Changge, my eyes froze.

"Who is this girl?"

Liu Yi asked.

"Insider. ”

Su Changge was silent for a while and said.

When I heard this, I felt a storm in my heart. Obviously, he had been trying to chase me away until then. I ran out of tricks before I caught up.

Liu Yi looked at me for a while, didn't continue to ask, and asked Su Changge lightly, "How is the injury?"

"No problem. Let's go inside. ”

As he spoke, Su Changge glanced back at me, as if he was thinking about something.

"Shen Yu, take this girl down to rest. Seeing this, Liu Yi instructed the maid on the side.

"I'll come to you in a moment. ”

Su Changge instructed.

Inside the house.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"She saved me. ”

"Hmph, Changgeβ€”β€”, but you haven't seen you overnight, and you have learned to lie. The one who saved you was obviously the woman Aoi Hime......"

As he spoke, the tone rose and fell, and by the second half, it was as low as a whisper.

"So did she. ”

Su Changge did not defend himself.

"That's it. I ask you, how long have you known each other before you brought people back to this hiding place?"

Liu Yi held his forehead, sighed, and continued to ask.

"One day. ”

Su Changge said indifferently.

"One day?!" Liu Yi gritted his teeth and looked at Su Changge with an indifferent face, "A woman who has only known her for a day, not to mention that her origin is unknown, do you know what her surname is? Changge, I see that you are not hurting your abdomen this time, but hurting your brain!"

Liu Yi finished venting his anger, and then waited for Su Changge's explanation.

But no, not a word.

An eerie silence permeated the room.

Liu Yi stared at Su Changge, as if Su Changge didn't say that he was ugly, he would stare him out of a hole.

"I know her name. ”

After a long time, Su Changge opened his mouth indifferently.

"......" Liu Yi was defeated.

"Changge, Changge, do you know that if there is anything wrong with this woman, then your move is to put the lives of the entire courtyard brothers under the blade~"

"No, it won't. I believe her. ”

Su Changge said firmly.

Liu Yi looked at Su Changge's stubborn appearance, sighed deeply, and changed the topic: "Okay, let's not talk about this." That day, Hou Mansion, if you hadn't thrown your sword to block that old thing...... I know you wanted to take that man's life in a dignified manner, but...... The whole operation failed, and the hall master was very angry, huh...... Hello do it yourself......"

I waited in the courtyard until the night, and then I saw Changge's figure.

He changed into a dark shirt and walked over as usual.

"Are your injuries alright?"

"It's fine. ”

Su Changge replied lightly.

"For the next few days, you stay here and don't move around. ”

After thinking about it, Su Changge said.

That breath was like an explanation before parting.

"Where are you going?" I asked, nervously, sniffing out the hidden meaning of my words. His wound ran through his chest and abdomen, and the bleeding had just stopped, so did he still want to go out at this time?

Su Changge was silent.

This gesture of refusing to answer made me know that this is an assassination mission in the hall and cannot be revealed.

Whether it is Changye or Su Changge, they all belong to extremely upright personalities, if they can't say it, they would rather keep their mouths shut and not miss a word, rather than disdain to lie and deceive.

But his injuries ......

"Can't you go without it?"

I hid my emotions and looked at him sitting across from me and asked.

"No, you can't. ”

Su Changge shook his head and replied with a resolute expression.

There's no room for turnaround.

In this life, there are no more than two things that can make him so persistent, one is revenge, and the other is looking for his cousin Zhao Yanran. And these two are the deepest fetters in his heart that no one can interfere with. Since it can't be said, it should be the former.

I was silent, and said for a long time: "Promise me that you will come back alive." ”

Su Changge raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then responded softly.

"Hmm. ”

There are no superfluous words, just a simple word, but the deepest promise.

I promise you to come back alive.

So, don't worry, wait for me.

Although I didn't stop Changge, I was still relieved, and I hid my figure and secretly followed him.

Hou Mansion.

Dou Zhong woke up from a nightmare.

This is an experience that I haven't thought back to in years.

He got up, poured himself a cup of cold tea, sat down at the table, and looked at the intricate and ornate furnishings in the room to calm down.

The accumulation of years has made him change from the reckless boy he was at the beginning to such a calm character today. But the old experience still haunted him like a nightmare, and he couldn't get rid of it.

When he was young, Dou Zhong's dream was to become a small manager, marry a woman with a decent appearance, and give birth to three or five fat dolls.

And then the rest of my life passed like this.

I can't make a lot of money, and I have enough food and warm clothes.

This is a big dream buried in the heart of fifteen-year-old Dou Zhong.

Yes, big dreams.

At that time, even a small manager in charge of affairs in the mansion was an unattainable dream for the young Dou Zhong.

Because, at that time, the mansion where he was located was the richest place in the whole dynasty - Su Mansion.

Become the head of such a house, even if you only buy the ingredients in the house, the life is more nourishing than the seven-grade old men in the house.

However, people are not as good as heaven-

Fifty-year-old Dou Zhong thought.

If it weren't for that incident, he would still be dreaming of being the manager in the Su Mansion!

Fate pushed him out, and then gave him one opportunity after another, so that the silly boy in the Su Mansion in Suzhou City in the past also had today's power and wealth.

"We didn't even dare to think about it back then, the marquis worshiped the prime minister, it was the matter of the prince and the old man...... But who told us to live well...... I can't be the manager, that's because you want me to be the Marquis of Huaiyin......" Dou Zhong muttered to himself.
