Chapter 40: A Night Visit to the Old Home
Situ Cheng heard that Cuilian's sister-in-law married Cuilian to Sun Yuanwai Chongxi, and scolded angrily:
"Cuilian is still young, she shouldn't have been married, and you married her to an old man who was about to die. Are you human? You just killed Cuilian directly. β
Cuilian's sister-in-law knelt on the ground and trembled in fright, and she didn't dare to speak.
"You know what to say and do tonight, right?" Situ asked her again.
"I promise not to tell anyone what happened tonight, and if I say a word outside, I will be sent to hell when I die." Cuilian's sister-in-law swears by the sky.
"That's wrong, I want you to follow your original temperament tonight, and everyone in Shijia Village knows about it." Situ said.
"Huh?" Cuilian's sister-in-law was taken aback and puzzled.
"By the way, remember the important thing, I am an extremely filial daughter." Situ Cheng smiled at her, and that smile was more terrifying than a demon in Cuilian's sister-in-law's heart.
Walking out of Cuilian's house, Situ Ming's heart became extremely relaxed. In the dark, she said to Xiao Jiahan:
"Shi Zi'er, how did I just behave?"
Before Xiao Jiahan could reply, Situ Yuan was stunned for a moment, where was the young man beside him.
She walked silently without saying a word, and unconsciously walked near Shi's house.
On the ninth day of the first month, the crescent moon is like a hook.
She stared at the small courtyard of the Shi family in the dark, where she carried a lot of laughter.
At this moment, Shi Zi'er has not yet fallen asleep. He lay on a straw mat in the courtyard, looking up at the crescent moon like a hook. He was waiting for her, waiting for her to talk to him about the starry sky at night as usual, but unfortunately there were no stars in the sky tonight.
Shi Zi'er suddenly saw that there seemed to be a figure outside the fence of his yard, and he stood up and ran over before he had time to put on his shoes.
"Daylily, is that you? Daylily. β
Situ Cheng came back to her senses and said three words to Xiao Jiahan: "Take me away." β
When Shizier chased him out, there was still a figure anywhere, only a long night.
Xiao Jiahan looked at Situ Ming's sad expression, and did not joke with words as usual.
When the two of them arrived at the door of Sun Yuanwai's house in the county, they saw that the entire Yuanwai Mansion was brightly lit.
Marrying a concubine Chongxi doesn't have such fanfare, right? Situ Cheng was puzzled. When I asked, I found out that the grandson had returned to the west in the afternoon, and the girl he bought also took advantage of the chaos to escape.
"You're not going to let me help you find her again, are you?" Xiao Jiahan asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Cuilian must have gone home, if she doesn't go home and doesn't want her family to find her, then it will be difficult for me to find her." Situ said.
Xiao Jiahan breathed a sigh of relief, he had never met such a person since he sneaked out, and his actions were too unexpected.
"I did what I promised you, should you also fulfill your promise?" Xiao Jiahan asked.
"Say, what do you want?" Situ said, anyway, he has this life left, and he won't want it.
"I'll have to find a place to talk about it slowly." Xiao Jiahan said.
Want to talk about it in detail? It's like two businessmen bargaining for a deal. Situ thought to herself. Anyway, I was hungry and tired now, and I had nowhere to go, so I promised him for the time being.
The two went to an ordinary restaurant, entered a private room, and only needed two bowls of noodles with clear soup and little water. It's really not that Xiao Jiahan is stingy, but he didn't have much money on him, and he spent a lot of money in the ready-to-wear shop.
Both of them were hungry, and no one cared about the image, so they gobbled up all the soup.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Xiao Gongzi, I hope what you want is worthy of my clothes and bowl of noodles." Situ said to him.
"Miss Situ, as long as you talk about it, you are definitely worth it." Xiao Kahan replied.
"To tell you the truth, the little woman has nothing but this life, so I'm also curious about what Xiao Gongzi wants from me?" Situ said.
"Wrong, you still have a famous festival, and a woman's famous festival is greater than life." Xiao Jiahan teased.
"You're wrong, too, my reputation is long gone. And I don't care about the name. Situ hates the lies that bind women.
"That's true, otherwise why wouldn't you be afraid to be in the same room with a man like me." Xiao Jiahan smiled.
"If your purpose is to possess my body, wouldn't it be more enjoyable for me to spend a few silver to go to the Qinglou." Situ Cheng gave birth to two children in her previous life, and she didn't feel ashamed to say this.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiahan's face turned red all of a sudden, and the red seemed to be dripping blood. He lowered his head and pretended to cough to cover it. I wanted to tease and scare the little girl, but I didn't expect her words to be very bold, and he really admitted defeat. This is like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, she is simply a sperm.
"What is your relationship with the Kyoto Situ family?" Xiao Kahan said bluntly.
"I don't know." Situ replied.
"Actually, I don't want to treat you badly, I just want to know something from you, and these things are important to me." Xiao Ka cold and strict sΓΉ's way.
"I really don't know, lying to you made my mouth and tongue sores and fester." Situ heard that this was what he wanted, but she really couldn't help him. He tried so hard to help himself that he couldn't even answer one of his questions, which made her feel guilty.
"I'm sorry!" Situ said again.
Xiao Jiahan carefully observed her expression by candlelight, and indeed saw the color of guilt from above, not like she was lying.
"And who are you?" Xiao Jiahan asked.
"I don't know." Situ replied.
Seeing that Xiao Jiahan was silent, Situ Cheng added:
"When I woke up, I was in a mass grave not far from Shijia Village. I crawled out of the dead body and saw two people pulling a cart in front of me. I followed them quietly, and listened to their conversation as if the coarse mother-in-law of the big family had died, and they had come to throw away the body. When I was discovered by them, they thought I was not a man who knelt and bowed to me, and offered me a bracelet that had been taken from the dead body. Situ recalled last year's events.
"How did you get to the mass grave?" Xiao Jiahan asked.
"I woke up and didn't remember anything about it." Situ replied.
"And how do you know your name?" Xiao Jiahan asked.
"Listen to the voice of the corpse loser, the bracelet was taken from me, that's why he was so frightened. I saw that the bracelet was engraved with the word Situ, and I guessed that it was my surname, and I took a name by myself. Situ Cheng said.
"You don't remember your background, but you remember other things?" Xiao Jiahan asked.
"I don't remember anything else, just some instinctive reactions." Situ replied.
"What is an instinctive reaction?" Xiao Jiahan asked.
"It's just that seeing the stove will cook rice, and seeing the weaving opportunity to weave, this is not an instinctive reaction." Situ asked.
"Can you show me the bracelet you mentioned?" Xiao Kahan asked.
Situ Cheng walked to the corner of the dark place of the candlelight, turned her back to Xiao Jiaohan, rolled up her sleeves high, and took out the jasper bracelet from her left arm.
"This bracelet is really ordinary, except for the word Situ engraved, there is really nothing unusual." Xiao Jiahan took the bracelet and observed.
Situ Cheng wondered, why did the color of this bracelet become dull and not emit a faint green light?
