Chapter 4: The Song of the Black Magpie
Corpses, corpses everywhere, soaked in blackened pools of blood. The baby's cry is like a cat barking at night.
"Hao'er, it's Hao'er......"
Bai Wuxue stepped on the corpse, but saw that her Hao'er was pressed under the palm of the vicious dog that had always been hideous.
The baby was still crying desperately, tears melting into pools of blood on the ground.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Hao'er, my mother is here to save you!" Bai Wuxue ran towards Hao'er as hard as she could, but no matter what, the distance never narrowed by half a minute.
Seeing that, the vicious dog opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite down on Hao'er's soft arm.
"Hao'er!"
Bai Wuxue suddenly woke up from her sleep, cold sweat soaking from her forehead. The late autumn wind poured in through the half-hidden window, making her shiver.
"Hao'er......" she covered her mouth and cried in a low voice.
The faint candlelight resembles the hand of an evil ghost reaching out from hell, as if beckoning the return of Bai Wuxue.
"Hao'er ......" Fang Cai's nightmare lingered, and Bai Wuxue's painful cry was like a nightmare.
Outside the room, two dark figures stood silently.
"My lord, according to the advice of my subordinates, this is the case." Su Zhong whispered to Su Ziyou.
Su Ziyou's eyes looked at the room with a heavy gaze, as if he had penetrated the window and fell straight to Su Wanxi's body. It has been a month since she came to Su Mansion, and people who have been secretly monitoring her often come to tell her that she would wake up late at night, and then she kept reciting the name "Hao'er".
Su Zi turned right and left, and Su Zhong followed.
"Send someone down to find out?" Su Ziyou asked coldly.
"The adults have found it out. Miss was raised by an old beggar on Lin'an Street, they have been begging for a living, a few years ago the old beggar died, and only Miss was left. As for a person named Hao'er, his subordinates really don't know where to start. ”
"Raised by an old beggar all along?" Su Ziyou's expression was solemn.
"Yes, there are many beggars on Lin'an Street who can testify."
Su Zi's right gaze was sharp, if this was the case, why did she make up a lie that day because she resented Shen Jingyuan because of the conscription at home, a beggar who grew up on Lin'an Street, and how did she make a feud with Shen Jingyuan. There is also "Hao'er". Presumably, no beggar would have such a name.
Su Ziyou only felt that Su Wanxi was full of suspicions, but if it was discussed, only why she resented Shen Jingyuan was the most confused. But as long as the investigation is clear, she is not meticulous, as long as she hates the Shen family, then she will be with him all the way.
The next day, Su Wanxi waited for Su Ziyou in the dining room early.
She is dressed plainly, and her appearance is already a little bewitching.
Su Ziyou came from outside the door dressed in white, and when she saw him facing her, she only took a slight breath. She also has a month in Su Mansion, this month, she can feel the unusualness of Su Mansion, she always feels that someone follows her, and the people in the whole mansion are also very strange, sometimes she walks through the garden, and even feels that the people who repair flowers have murderous aura hidden in their eyes, but if you look closely, everyone is busy with their own, no different from ordinary people.
"Your Excellency." Su Xin, the maid standing behind Su Wanxi, saluted Su Ziyou, which was specially sent by Su Ziyou to serve Su Wanxi, but she knew that he just wanted to find someone to monitor him all the time.
Su Ziyou sat directly opposite her, and said with an unbelievable smile: "You are very big lady." ”
Su Wanxi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she was no longer the daughter of the prime minister, let alone the master of the East Palace. She has to remember her new identity anytime and anywhere, even if she lives tremblingly in the palm of Su Ziyou's hand, she will never give up any hope of revenge.
She got up slowly, bowed her head and saluted, "Master Su." ”
"Don't forget who you are now." He reminded coldly.
Su Wanxi gritted her teeth slightly, took a deep breath and said, "Brother." ”
Su Ziyou snorted coldly and said straight to the point: "The old beggar who raised you died a few years ago, right?" ”
Su Wanxi froze, how could she not have thought that he was a powerful right guard general, and it was easy to investigate a person's life experience, no matter what he had investigated, in short, he already knew that he was lying that day. For a while, she was speechless.
Su Ziyou took a sip of the hot porridge on the table without hurry, and said lightly: "Sit down, I won't pursue the past." ”
Hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, sat down slowly, sat down firmly, and heard him say: "Don't forget, now you are a chess piece in my hand, if there is a mistake, I can abandon it at any time." ”
Su Wanxi has to admit that she is not even under the fence now, although she is a young lady in Su Mansion on the surface, but everyone understands that she is just the same as those who sweep the floor and do laundry, but they do things differently.
"Thank you brother for reminding me, Wanxi understands." She responded lightly, she was already a person who had died once, and she should be fearless, either take revenge or die again.
"Su Xin." Su Ziyou gestured to the twenty-something-year-old maid behind Su Wanxi.
Su Xin nodded, then looked at Su Wanxi and said, "Miss, your injuries have been healed this month, and the slave maid will teach you to learn from today on." ”
"Studying?" Su Wan looked at Su Ziyou puzzled.
"I don't want to use a scrap." After Su Ziyou finished speaking coldly, he wiped his mouth and got up to leave, and left a message, "I hope that the next dynasty can see the results when I come back." ”
Su Xin raised her lips and replied, "Yes." ”
Su Wanxi watched Su Ziyou leave, and thought to herself, this is to cultivate himself, what kind of chess piece does he want to shape himself into? Do you want to teach yourself to poison, or kill people?
"Miss, please follow the slave." Su Xin reminded, and her tone was completely devoid of the politeness of Fang Cai.
Su Wanxi looked at the food on the table, she didn't have time to move the chopsticks, just think about it, she has never had a good appetite in the past month.
followed Su Xin to the study, only to see that she found a maid to bring a thick pair of books and put them on the table, and said to Su Wanxi unceremoniously: "Miss, these books must be memorized before the adults come back." ”
"Endorsement?" Su Wanxi casually flipped through the books on the table, all of which were "Female Commandments", "Internal Training", Four Books and Five Classics, and so on. Isn't it poisoning, isn't it murder?
"What's wrong? Can't do it? If you can't do it, you can change a chess piece at any time, and I don't know how many times I've changed it. Su Xin said, with murderous intent hidden in her eyes.
Anyway, I don't know how many times I've changed...... This sentence was like a sharp thorn, stabbing Su Wanxi's heart suddenly. "I ......"
Before she finished speaking, Su Xin suddenly remembered something and said: "It's really negligent, Miss has been begging for a living since she was a child, I'm afraid she can't read, so it seems that you have to start teaching from literacy." Adults too, how much time is wasted in this training. ”
Su Wanxi's heart was depressed, the most mean person she was to herself in the mansion in this month was this Su Xin, although the other subordinates were not respectful to themselves, they would not bully others like this. Human nature is really like this, every time she looks at Su Xin, she always thinks of Qian'er, she is the same.
"I am literate, although I have been begging for a living, but when I was a child, I always liked to go to private schools, and I learned it by hearing and seeing." She said lightly, thinking that she was quite talented since she was a child, and she recited these books aloud as early as when her yellow hair was hanging down.
"Oh? That's a hassle. Miss, let me remind you first, because you know too much, there is usually only one end to the discarded chess. Su Xin smiled meaningfully, then turned to leave, "Your Excellency will come over when you come back." ”
Su Wanxi was the only one left in the room, she closed the door, slowly sat down in front of the bookcase, and smiled contemptuously at the table. Su Ziyou, is this going to train himself into a lady? And then what? Approach Shen Jingyuan, and then find an opportunity to kill him? Thinking of this, she was stunned and approached Shen Jingyuan...... In the future, I will stand by his side, and I will please him as before...... At this moment, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, it was obviously a strong resentment, but it was mixed with a few traces of joy that she was extremely unwilling to admit.
It is not far from the Su Mansion to the palace, and it only takes half an hour to go back and forth. Su Wanxi remembered Su Xin's words...... Anyway, I don't know how many times I've changed. It means that before him, there were many people who had sat in the position of Miss Su Fu, however, they were all killed because they did not meet Su Ziyou's requirements. She felt a chill down her spine, looked around Su Fu, and secretly thought, I don't know how many white bones are buried in this ground, no wonder the flowers in the garden are blooming brightly.
She felt that she didn't have the strength to think more, at least, what she should do now was to do a good job of his chess pieces first, so that she could stand in front of Shen Jingyuan alive again, and then she could slash those enemies who killed herself and Hao'er, Zhao Luchu and Bai Qingcheng, and she wanted to cut Jian people with a thousand knives.
I don't know if it took too much time from the court, or if Su Ziyou deliberately gave her some more time, and in the afternoon, the door of the study was pushed open.
When Su Ziyou came in, she happened to finish writing the last word on rice paper.
"Brother." She saluted, and there was no expression in her face.
Su Xin also followed behind Su Zi's right, only to see that the book on the table was still in the shape of Fang Cai himself, and he didn't move at all, his eyes sank and he stepped forward and said, "My lord, the slave will solve her for you." ”
Su Zi swept the rice paper on the table and motioned for Su Xin to retreat.
"My lord, she hasn't even touched these books!" Su Xin said again.
Su Ziyou walked forward and picked up the rice paper on the table, the ink was not dry, and the font was beautiful.
"There is Wu in the South Mountain, and Zhang Luo in the North Mountain. Wu flies high, Luo Dang can't help it. The black magpie flies and is not happy with the phoenix. The concubine is a concubine, and she is not happy with the king of Song. ”
"Nicely written." Su Ziyou put down the rice paper and looked at her meaningfully.
"Thank you brother for the compliment, now Wanxi understands her identity, and what she should and shouldn't do will be remembered in her heart, and I hope that my brother can do what he said in the morning, and he will not pursue it in the past." She said without arrogance or impatience, and raised her head to meet Su Ziyou's scrutinizing gaze.
Su Ziyou looked at her for a moment, and said slowly: "I want to see what else you have." ”
She only smiled faintly and said no more.
Su Zi left with his right hand in his hand, his brows solemn. Although he had already said that he would not pursue the past, every time he saw Su Wanxi, he still couldn't help but want to pursue her past. A woman who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but her words and deeds are so calm, her eyes are always filled with hatred and frost, every time he sees her, he will have a feeling of sympathy in his heart.
Su Wanxi, who are you?
