Chapter 3: Revisiting the Old Place
The autumn wind was trembling, Bai Wuxue was choked by Su Ziyou's neck, and at this moment he felt that the man in front of him was not as gentle and elegant as he seemed on the surface, his heart was like Shura, and his gaze was even like turning into a sharp sword to pierce himself.
"You want to take revenge on Shen Jingyuan?" Su Ziyou raised his eyebrows and asked the topic, he didn't understand, he was obviously a beggar, but he kept reading Shen Jingyuan's name when he was unconscious, and on the street, she also clearly said that she wanted revenge.
Bai Wuxue's back was cold, she bit her lip slightly, and said suddenly: "I hate him because his family is ruined!"
"Really?" Su Ziyou slowly let go of his hands, "What kind of enmity does he have against you?"
Bai Wuxue took a few breaths of air and casually made up: "A few years ago, he gave an order for conscription, my father and brother were arrested, and the family lost my brother, my mother's illness could not be cured, and he died soon after, and my father and brother never came back......"
Su Ziyou thought about it, in recent years, the emperor has gradually become obsessed, and political affairs are often handed over to the prince to deal with, a few years ago Xishu came to attack, in order to attack and repel the invaders in one fell swoop, Shen Jingyuan was under the order of conscription.
"Do you hate Shen Jingyuan?" asked Su Ziyou coldly.
Bai Wuxue did not hesitate at all, her eyes were particularly hateful, "Hate! Of course she hates!" Thinking of her current situation, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Please let me go! The matter of conscription is understandable, it is the opinion of the little woman and the woman, it is the little woman who is wrong! How dare the little woman hate being the prince of the court." Please also have a large number of adults, and don't worry about little women. ”
Su Ziyou saw the hatred in her eyes really well, and that resentment was not something that the drama could pretend.
"If you really hate him, I can help you. Su Ziyou said lightly, evoking an unknown smile.
Bai Wuxue was stunned, he actually said that he could help himself?!
"You ......" Bai Wuxue looked at Su Ziyou in confusion.
"Let's make a deal. Su Ziyou said.
"What deal?" Bai Wuxue felt that the man in front of her was simply elusive to her.
"I'll help you get revenge, and you'll be an obedient pawn. ”
Bai Wuxue's eyes lit up, as long as she could take revenge, let her do anything!
When the crown princess died in childbirth, one corpse and two lives, the prince remembered that the prime minister loved his daughter deeply, and specially transported the remains of the crown princess and the little prince back to the prime minister's mansion to let the princess return to her hometown.
On the day of the burial of the crown princess, the prime minister's mansion was like a city, and hundreds of civil and military officials came to mourn.
"Su-sama, please. ”
As the general of the right guard, Su Ziyou naturally wanted to come to mourn, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion led Su Ziyou in, and when he arrived at the mourning hall, the Bai family was dressed in linen and filial piety, and the mourning hall was bleak, looking desolate.
"It's Lord Su. Bai Zixu walked over, dressed in white, and looked old.
"I've seen the prime minister, and I would like to mourn. Su Ziyou said respectfully.
Bai Zixu sighed and said, "Well, Lord Su, please sit down." Then he looked up and saw the woman following Su Zi on the right, the woman's eyes were full of tears, she looked very sad, and couldn't help asking, "Who is this?"
Su Ziyou turned around and saw that she was crying, and replied: "This is the little sister who is down, Wanxi." ”
"Wanxi? It's a good name, but I don't know that Master Su has a sister. ”
Su Wanxi hurriedly wiped away her tears and said: "Wanxi has seen Lord Bai, as soon as Wanxi came to the mourning hall of the crown princess, she was sad, she couldn't help herself, and asked her to forgive her sins." How can she not be sad when she sees her father crying for herself, she is standing in front of her father, but her father doesn't know herself, how can she not be sad, her and Hao'er's bodies have been in the mass grave and don't know what kind of appearance they have been gnawed by wild dogs, there is an empty coffin here today, how can she not be sad.
"The little sister lives in a simple place, and there is no such parting from life and death, so the prime minister is not to blame. Su Ziyou said, but she couldn't help but wonder why she was crying.
"No blame, no blame. Bai Zixu said, "It's just that seeing Ling Mei so sad, the old man feels a little more sad." ”
Su Wanxi lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, please take a seat, take a seat. Bai Zixu said and hurriedly left, afraid of crying in front of people.
After the people left, Su Ziyou turned around and asked coldly, "Why are you crying?"
Su Wanxi took a light breath and said, "I feel sad to see a white-haired person sending a black-haired person. ”
"You have to remember who you are now. Su Ziyou reminded.
Yes, how dare she forget? Now she is the sister of Su Ziyou, the right martial arts doctor, Su Wanxi, thirteen years old, living in a simple house, so she has never been known by outsiders. She has changed her face, she is no longer the Bai Wuxue she used to be, never again.
Su Wanxi looked at the mourning hall, those who wore linen and filial piety were all familiar faces.
That's Erniang, Su Wanxi looked at a middle-aged woman, couldn't help but feel a little guilty, Erniang looked a lot haggard, since her mother died when she was two years old, Erniang loved herself like her own daughter, and now she is sad for her death, which is really a sin.
"The prince has arrived. ”
Su Wanxi was stunned, and looked towards the gate with the voice, the prince ......
Shen Jingyuan was dressed in white, and Bai Qingcheng and Zhao Luchu who followed behind him were also wearing mourning clothes, he was still handsome and chic, but now she looked like she had no love anymore, and she just wanted to cut him with a thousand knives.
Su Wanxi watched coldly as Shen Jingyuan incense the coffin placed in the mourning hall, kowtowed, and sneered in his heart, his play was so good, he obviously knew that it was just an empty coffin, and he still knelt down as if it were a matter, obviously hated himself, hated himself, but he still pretended to be sad, obviously he didn't want his body to be buried with him in a hundred years, and kindly said that it was to be transported back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and let him return to his hometown!
Su Ziyou kept looking at her, and her gaze seemed to be able to kill Shen Jingyuan.
"It seems that you recognize him?" How could a beggar have seen the crown prince of the current dynasty, Su Ziyou felt strange.
"Even if it's to ashes, I recognize it. Su Wanxi gritted her teeth and said, clasping her hands tightly and hiding them in her sleeves.
"Heh, pay attention to the occasion. Su Ziyou has no interest in delving into it further, as long as she hates Shen Jingyuan, all he needs is a chess piece that can be used.
"Hmm. Su Wanxi responded, and quietly withdrew her gaze, afraid that if she looked at the man any more, she would not be able to help but rush forward with a knife.
"We also went over to greet each other, so that you and Shen Jingyuan are familiar with each other. Su Ziyou said and took Su Wanxi with him.
"You!" Su Wanxi knew that Su Ziyou did it on purpose.
"I've seen the prince. Su Ziyou saluted towards Shen Jingyuan.
Shen Jingyuan turned around and saluted back: "Master Su, don't come unharmed." ”
Su Wanxi's hands were hidden in her sleeves and they were already white, and she saluted slightly and said lightly: "Wanxi has seen the prince." ”
Shen Jingyuan looked at the person behind Su Zi's right, and only felt that he couldn't take his eyes off for a while. The woman was dressed in white, and although she hung her head slightly, she still couldn't hide her peerless beauty.
"Prince, this is the minister's little sister, Su Wanxi, who was not in good health in the early years, has been at home all the time, and the minister rarely lets her come out. ”
"Hmm. Shen Jingyuan replied and didn't look any further.
"Lord Su's sister is so handsome. But Mrs. Bai on the side opened her mouth again.
"Thank you, ma'am. Wanxi responded politely, looking at her second mother, as if she had a few more wrinkles.
"Mother, I'm sorry, my daughter didn't take good care of her sister. Bai Chengcheng's beautiful eyes burst into tears, and she grabbed Madame Bai's arm.
Madame Bai said with tears in her eyes: "I don't blame you, hey...... Oh my Cher!"
Su Wan's teeth were cold, and the city was white...... Oh, I was really blind at the beginning, and I still regarded her as my favorite sister! This femme fatale, along with her and Zhao Luchu, will definitely not let them have a good time! I owe myself and Hao'er people at the beginning, I want to collect debts one by one!
The officials who came to mourn all stayed in the prime minister's mansion to dine together, and because of the large number of people, several tables of wine were held.
The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are still handling the funeral, and the guests can leave after eating, during the meal, Su Wanxi left the table on the grounds of stomach discomfort, she just wanted to see this family one last time, she wanted to be good, and then talk to her father and Erniang......
Every plant and tree is so familiar...... Su Wanxi walked and walked, and before she knew it, she arrived at the lotus pond, the lotus pond...... Oh, that was the place where the young self and Shen Jingyuan met for the first time. At that time, when my father gave birth to a banquet, when he saw Shen Jingyuan, he never forgot it, and since then, he has sworn that he will not marry in this life.
When Su Wanxi was reminiscing, she saw a man in white standing by the lotus pond, it was ...... Shen Jingyuan......
Shen Jingyuan stood alone by the lotus pond, looking at the dilapidated lotus leaves in the pond, and his heart rose sharply with sadness.
That year, it seems that it was the dancing snow that I saw in this place, right? Shen Jingyuan thought, the things of the past were overwhelming.
A woman who is especially good at pipa, at that time thought she was noisy, felt that she was proud and willful, and did not treat her very well. When she blocked herself and Lu Chu all her life, she hated her even more.
But when did it start to be different? did it start when she called herself Ah Qi, or did she start when she washed her feet every night, or did she start from making herself happy......
But why did she betray herself?! Why did she do something wrong with others, and she also gave birth to a sin and threatened to be her own child!
"Bai Wuxue ......" Shen Jingyuan shouted in a low voice, his eyes couldn't tell whether it was hatred or resentment, but he saw a line of tears sliding down the corners of his eyes.
Su Wanxi, who was in the distance, looked at Shen Jingyuan's side face in surprise, he was in tears, why did his tears fall, but it was in this lotus pond......
"Who?!" Shen Jingyuan noticed someone and turned around suddenly.
Looking at each other, Su Wanxi had nowhere to hide, and before Shen Jingyuan could speak, she hurriedly turned around and left, fleeing in the wilderness.
Shen Jingyuan didn't catch up, but Wanxi's mind was blank, and he clearly saw him crying......
Even if he really shed a tear, it must not be because of himself! He can do such a thing, can ruthlessly give himself and Hao'er to death, and throw his body into the wilderness, and he is such a cold-blooded and ruthless man, will still cry for himself? What a joke!
The matter of the lotus pond just now still made Su Wanxi feel palpitations, at this time, how could she deceive herself, and delusionally thought that Shen Jingyuan had some feelings for herself. Shen Jingyuan and himself do not share the sky, in this life and this life, he will definitely have to pay the price.
After leaving the lotus pond, she walked towards her father's room, and when she was struggling with how to say to Bai Zixu and what to say, she heard Bai Chengcheng's voice from the room.
"Mother, this time the crown princess is none other than me. Bai Chengcheng said happily, completely missing the sad appearance of Fang Cai on the mourning hall.
Madame Bai smiled slightly and said: "Now that your eldest sister is the emperor's favorite concubine, and you are about to become the crown princess, the Bai family is really a glorious lintel." ”
Outside the door, Su Wanxi felt a chill all over her body, was this what her favorite Erniang said?
"It's still a smart mother, fortunately, I started early, so that the Ye family can return to the west as soon as possible, and the province is in trouble now. Bai Chengcheng said proudly.
"If it weren't for your father protecting that little, how could she be the crown princess, how could she live so many more years. Mrs. Bai Liu said complainingly.
Su Wanxi retreated in disbelief, it turned out that she had been living in deception......
Erniang is good to herself, but in order to cater to her father, she has secretly designed herself countless times, and even killed her mother!
Why...... Why are there lies and deception everywhere?!
Su Wanxi returned to the banquet in despair, and at that time, Su Ziyou had already finished his meal and was waiting to return home with Su Wanxi.
"Where have you been?" Seeing Su Wanxi coming back unwillingly, Su Zi was a little stunned between his right eyebrows.
"Huh. Su Wanxi sneered, raised her eyes to look at Su Ziyou, and said, "Let's go, I will never come back here again......"
Although Su Ziyou was strange, he didn't speak, but left straight away with Su Wanxi.
She didn't even look back when she left, and in this life, I'm afraid it will be the last time she will appear here.
