Chapter 65: Sudden Change
The man sat in the seat, and he was alone in the crowd.
Hey! Isn't that Zhang Gongzi? Su Qing exclaimed.
Su Wenxun also looked over.
Zhang Gongzi? Su Wenxun learned about Zhang Xinchen from Su Zhidong in the past two days, and he had also heard about Zhang Xinchen's rumors, once in the rumors of Shengjing, Zhang Xinchen was a stupid paralyzed person, and he needed someone to serve him all day long, but when he suddenly appeared in the Su family a few days ago, and when he appeared in the eyes of everyone, Zhang Xinchen seemed to be a gentle son with unparalleled elegance, and the difference between the truth and the rumors was huge, unbelievable.
It's just that why did you come to the temple when you were obviously unable to move? It's not just about praying for blessings, is it?
In the crowd, Zhang Xinchen looked at Su Mo with a smile, waiting for Su Mo to come over.
Although he was a little curious about why Zhang Xinchen was in the temple, Su Mo still walked over, gave a salute, and saw Zhang Gongzi.
Chen'er, the subordinates have already gone to take care of it, let's go in. Mrs. Zhang came from another place, and when she saw Su Mo approaching, she was a little surprised, Miss Su San also came to pray today? How coincidental was it? She glanced at her son, and then at Su Mo, who should have been recuperating well these days and had a good complexion.
Su Mofu bowed and saw his wife. Yes, the three Mo'er sisters came to pray for their parents, but they didn't expect to meet their wife here.
Mrs. Zhang had a good impression when she saw Su Mo, but she suddenly changed her family, she had experienced a lot at a young age, and now she can still be so polite, which is really surprising and even more distressing, Mrs. Zhang said kindly: Your parents will be relieved to know that there are many people who have come to pray for blessings in the past two days, and I am afraid that they will have to wait for a while.
Yes, since Mrs. has taken care of it, let's go and pray for blessings first, Mo'er will not delay Mrs. Time. Su Mo replied respectfully and politely. Treat her elders, if they are not enemies, she has always respected them.
Mrs. Zhang nodded and said more kindly: Although it is in the temple, there are many people and important items.
Thank you, madam, Mo'er knows. Su Mo replied with a smile.
Mrs. Zhang nodded, she was very satisfied with Su Mo's respectful and polite attitude, after being in prison for many years, she was still so polite, it was really difficult to dislike it. She glanced at Chen'er and smiled in her heart, I'm afraid that Chen'er didn't know where she learned that Su Mo would come to the temple to pray for blessings today, so she suddenly decided to come out today.
Zhang Xinchen looked at Su Mo and said with a gentle smile: Be careful. When he raised his eyes, a trace of gaze seemed to sweep past Su Wenxun.
Hearing this, Su Mo's mind moved slightly, and he nodded gently. A qiē careful? Did he know that she didn't come to the temple to pray for blessings? That's why he's here?
Mrs. Zhang looked at Yiqiē in her eyes, and a smile appeared in her eyes and the corners of her lips.
After Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Xinchen first entered the temple to pray for blessings, Su Mo and the others waited in place, and Su Wenxun had already sent someone to take care of it.
Mo'er and Zhang Gongzi are very familiar? Su Wenxun didn't know when he arrived at his side.
Su Mo looked at Su Wenxun sideways, and replied with a smile: I have met two or three times, but I just said two or three polite words.
I see. Su Wenxun replied, and did not continue to question the relationship between her and Zhang Xinchen, but said with a smile: Zhang Gongzi is a person who can be entrusted for life.
Su Mo smiled and said nothing.
After waiting for a while, the subordinate who went to take care came back and said to Su Wenxun: There are many people who came to pray for blessings today, and we arrived a little late, so I'm afraid we will have to wait for a while. Master Da, why don't you go and rest for a while?
Su Wenxun probably didn't expect that there would be so many people who came to pray today, looking at this, he was probably going to stay here for the night tonight, and he said to Su Mo and the others: Three sisters, what do you think?
After rushing for more than an hour, and now staying in a crowded place, Su Yuan was already a little tired, and her slightly pale face was barely supporting a smile, okay, let's go and rest for a while.
Well, there are a few pavilions at the back of the temple where you can cool off and bring some snacks. Su Wenxun replied.
Su Mo and the three of them all nodded and said yes.
In the temple, Mrs. Zhang's family has finished the incense.
When she came out of the temple, Mrs. Zhang went to ask for a signature, and the result was a signature! Mrs. Zhang smiled from ear to ear, and showed Zhang Xinchen the signature, it was the marriage sign you asked for, and it was signed!
Zhang Xinchen glanced at it casually, and said with a helpless smile: Mother, the signature is not credible. He has always rarely believed in ghosts and gods, and he came to the temple today only for events, not for real blessings. Besides, he had never paid attention to the matter of marriage, and if the woman who protected him well would choose him as a safe haven, he might think carefully about the word marriage.
Where is it not credible? If it is not credible, how can so many people come to ask for a lot? Mother sees that the Mo'er girl is good, knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous, although she has ruined her reputation for many years in prison, but this is not important, the important thing is that she is a good woman, and she can raise her eyebrows with you in the future, and her mother can really rest assured. Mrs. Zhang looked forward to it as she spoke, maybe it will be done this year, and she will be able to hold her grandson next year!
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was looking forward to it, Zhang Xinchen stopped saying more to dispel Mrs. Zhang's illusions.
It's just that the four words of raising his eyebrows actually entered his heart at that moment just now, and he hooked his lips and smiled faintly.
There are more than a dozen pavilions at the back of the temple, and each pavilion has steps and green trees in the middle.
Because Su Yuan was a little tired, he didn't walk forward, but chose the nearest pavilion, and when he walked in, he found two familiar people in the pavilion.
Today, isn't it bad for travel?
Su Mo said secretly in his heart. The real meaning of coming to the temple was not to pray for blessings, but to arrange for Su Yuan to leave, but today it was too strange, Su Wenxun came with him, entered the temple and met Zhang Xinchen, and now met the two people in front of him.
But, after all, when we met, I didn't want to cross this pavilion, so I could only look at each other.
I've seen Zhao Wugongzi. The three Su Mo sisters said in unison.
Su Wenxun also said politely: I didn't expect such a coincidence to be able to see the fifth prince in the temple. There are quite a few acquaintances in the temple today.
Sitting next to Zhao Zhen was Lin Mengyin, and the two came to pray together, not long before the day they got married. Su Mo suddenly remembered what Su Yuan had said to her, this is the rule of this world, before they are about to get married, men and women meet together to come to the temple to pray for blessings, hoping to grow old together for a lifetime, now think about the days, the two are indeed about to get married, so it is pure coincidence that they meet in the temple today.
Su Qing whispered in Su Mo's ear: There are so many coincidences today, I didn't expect to meet the fifth prince and Miss Lin here.
Su Mo nodded, don't say more, take care of the second sister, and rest for a while.
Okay, third sister.
Lin Mengyin was a little surprised when she saw Su Mo, she didn't expect to meet Su Mo here, although she also met many acquaintances in the temple, but for Su Mo, she always had to be a little guarded. She asked kindly: Miss Mo also just arrived at the temple?
Yes, just arrived. Su Mo replied with a smile.
What a coincidence, I didn't expect us to meet at the temple. It's been a few days since the banquet, I wonder how Miss Mo is doing recently? Lin Mengyin glanced at Zhao Zhen beside her, and then still said a few words to Su Mo politely.
Su Mo responded with a smile, very good, how is Miss Lin recently?
Lin Mengyin replied: Very good. She is full of speculation in her heart at the moment, speculation about Zhao Zhen, what does Zhao Zhen's silence mean at the moment?
For a while, there was suddenly no sound in the huge pavilion, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Su Mo opened the water bladder, drank a few sips of water, and then looked around, the scenery in the temple is picturesque, now sit down and admire, but you can also calm down, the world is so strange, after encountering things, when you are powerless to solve it, the first thing you think of is to ask the Buddha for your blessing, hoping to get what you want.
Zhao Zhen drank tea silently, and was also enjoying the surrounding scenery.
Su Wenxun took a few sips of water and looked around, he hadn't returned to Shengjing for several years, things were different from people, and many people's positions were different now. At the beginning, he was the son-in-law of the concubine, and his identity was not as good as Su Yi, and many people in the famous family in Shengjing looked down on him, but now that his identity has changed, almost everyone in Shengjing still doesn't know him, just like the fifth son of Zhao in front of him.
The fifth son of Zhao has always been unfathomable, because of the special nature of the Zhao family, none of the hundreds of families in Shengjing can compare with the Zhao family.
The subtlety of the atmosphere made Su Wenxun perceive a hint of clues. Lin Mengyin was guarding against Su Mo, and Su Mo was as calm as ever, Zhao Zhen didn't take a second look at Su Mo, so to speak, Zhao Zhen was disgusted with Su Mo from beginning to end, and as his father said, even if there was no accident in the Su family five years ago, Zhao Zhen would not choose to marry the woman of the Su family.
Second sister, are you better? Su Qing saw that Su Yuan's face was still pale, and asked uneasily.
Su Yuan was a little weak, but she still shook her head and replied: It's okay, it's tiring all the way, although it hasn't been long, but it's still a little tired.
If you're tired, let's rest for a while. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back today, so I will rest in the temple for the night, and the second sister can also rest for a while. Su Qing then said.
Su Yuan nodded.
The second sister has seen the doctor in recent days? After a few years in prison, he injured his body, and he should have to recuperate for a while. It's better not to go to the nunnery to cultivate, I know a miracle doctor, and you won't be so weak for about a year through his care. Su Wenxun asked with concern. A pair of eyes stared at Su Yuan's pale face, and secretly tentatively looked at it.
Su Yuan lowered her head to hide the panic in her eyes, and in a panic, she replied according to Su Mo's explanation to her in the carriage on the way: Thank you, Brother Wenxun, in fact, I have been recuperating since I came out of prison, and my body has been half better, but today I am riddled with nightmares, and I have no choice but to go to the nunnery to live for a while.
It turned out to be a nightmare, so it was good to stay in the nunnery for a while. Su Wenxun replied.
Su Yuan nodded, yes, after staying for a while, it should get better.
Mo'er, did you accompany Yuan'er with you? Su Wenxun suddenly asked Su Mo, who was silent,
At this time, Su Mo was enjoying the surrounding scenery, as if she hadn't heard Su Wenxun's inquiry about Su Yuan and was tempted, she looked back at Su Wenxun and said with a smile: I'm thinking about it.
Her words fell, and Zhao Zhen suddenly glanced at her.
Yuan'er lives alone in the nunnery and no one takes care of her, but if Mo'er also accompanies her, you can take care of each other. Su Wenxun said again.
Su Mo's eyes dimmed slightly, and the smile on the corner of his lips became brighter, I was thinking about it, but I didn't expect Brother Wenxun to ask me. Want to break her apart? Su Wenxun is planning from now on? is worthy of Su Zhidong's right and left hand, no matter what the situation, he has some means.
Su Wenxun chuckled a few times, it turned out that Mo'er was already thinking about it.
Yes, if there is no accident, I will accompany my second sister to live in the nunnery. Su Mo suddenly gave Su Wenxun an affirmative answer.
Su Wenxun raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, since the third sister has decided, let the groom send you to the nunnery first tomorrow.
Su Mo smiled and nodded, okay.
Lin Mengyin has been paying attention to Su Mo and Su Wenxun, and after hearing the words of the two, she was slightly shocked, Su Mo is going to live in the nunnery for a while? Now the situation of the Su family is in the eyes of all families in Shengjing, the current Su family is the head of Su Zhidong, and the lineage has declined, you can think of what kind of status Su Mo has in the Su family, because he is restrained everywhere and looks at people's faces, so he has to go to the nunnery to live and hide? It's just that Su Mo doesn't look like a person who first thinks of hiding when he encounters things, otherwise when facing her, he wouldn't think of solving Ziling's revenge. Or are you really worried that her second sister is alone in the dark and no one takes care of her?
Master, it's time to go to us for incense.
A subordinate rushed from not far away, and immediately reported after finding Su Wenxun.
Su Wenxun immediately got up.
Su Mo and Su Qing helped Su Qing get up, and set off to prepare to go to the temple to pray for incense.
After Su Mo and the others walked out of the pavilion, Lin Mengyin looked at Zhao Zhen and said softly: "Fifth son, it's almost us." This temple doesn't look at where you come from, here, power can't oppress people. What's more, people who really want to pray for blessings are also afraid of offending the Buddha, and they will definitely not use their power to oppress others, and basically follow the rules of first come, first served.
In fact, when Lin Mengyin saw Su Mo, she felt a little uneasy in her heart for some reason, and her strong intuition made her not want to stay here longer.
Zhao Zhen's dark eyes looked at the delicate woman who was gradually walking away, pondering, and did not hear Lin Mengyin's words.
After waiting for a moment and still not getting a response from Zhao Zhen, Lin Mengyin suddenly realized that Zhao Zhen was actually looking at Su Mo who was walking away! He probably didn't hear her. She pursed her lips and then said, "Fifth son, it's time for us to get up."
No hurry, wait a little longer. Zhao Zhen replied. After retracting his gaze, he continued to drink tea leisurely, enjoying the breeze and the scenery around him.
Lin Mengyin was silent, and her heart was entangled. Occasionally, when she calmed down, she always asked herself, why was she so unsettled when facing Su Mo? Sometimes it even messes up? Perhaps, she realized that Su Mo's appearance would take away what originally belonged to her...... Or people.
An hour later.
The temple has specially prepared guest rooms for people who come from afar to pray for blessings, which is built on the mountain, and there are many people every day, so if the guest rooms are built near the temple, they will definitely not be able to live, so a few years ago in order to facilitate the people who come to pray for blessings, so a house was built on the mountain, which can accommodate as many as 100 people. It just so happens that guests will not disturb the tranquility of the Buddhist gate.
After praying for blessings, Su Mo and the others immediately went to the mansion on the mountain to stay overnight.
When you go up the mountain, you can occasionally hear the echo of the bell in your ears, and the clouds and mist under the mountain are like a fairyland.
Because the room is limited, there are many people praying for blessings today, most of them are two or three people living in one room, Su Mo sisters live in one room, and after fasting, the three sisters go back to the room.
The room is simply furnished, with a bed, a table, and a few chairs.
After sitting down, Su Qing drank the whole glass of boiled water, and finally could rest for a while, second sister, go and lie down on the bed, don't be too tired.
Su Yuan's expression has been solemn from the time she prayed for blessings and petitions until she went up the mountain, and she rarely said anything along the way, and her face was even more solemn at this moment.
Second sister, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? Is it more uncomfortable? Su Qing asked urgently.
Go to bed first, you will leave in the middle of the night, if it is not good for you to rest now. Su Mo said softly, first carefully observed Su Yuan's complexion, it was still a little pale, after tossing all day Su Yuan was pregnant, she was already easily tired, and her body was not good, her face was pale at this time, and she should be fine after resting for a while.
Su Yuan grabbed Su Mo's hand and said a little anxiously: Third sister, I didn't ask for a sign for myself just now, but for you.
Oh? What did you say in the sign? Su Mo was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile. In her previous life, when she accompanied her mother to ask for a signature, she never went to unravel the signature. At that time, what I thought was very simple, there will always be what should be there, there will never be anything that will not be asked for again, what should be faced must always be faced, and what should not be faced does not need to be faced.
The reason for investigation is probably because she doesn't believe it.
Su Yuan was extremely nervous, and signed the sign, saying that you would have to worry about your life!
Hearing this, Su Mo chuckled and shook his head, Second sister, there is no need to believe what the ghosts and gods say, let alone what the sign says. I did have the fear of my life, and if it weren't for my life, how could I open my eyes again? You don't need to worry about these things, the most important thing for you now is to rest and not think too much.
No, third sister, listen to me, I have a strong intuition that tonight is not peaceful! You have to trust me, be careful! Be careful! Su Yuan's hand was strong, she hoped that Su Mo would listen to what she said, she was uneasy all day, especially when she saw the signing, she knew why she was so uneasy today, she was not worried about whether she would leave smoothly, what she was worried about was the safety of the third sister!
Su Qing was stunned for a while, her complexion also changed slightly, she looked at the nervous Su Yuan, and then at Su Mo, who looked as usual, before she spoke: Yes, second sister! Signatures are sometimes not allowed. Besides, there are so many people praying for blessings and asking for signatures today, where can the Buddha take care of them? Besides, we are in the temple, how can something happen? There are a lot of guests on the mountain! Don't think about it. Second sister, you can sleep for a while.
Is it? Su Yuan frowned and asked back, still extremely nervous. But after all, he couldn't withstand the fatigue of his body, and he fell asleep after lying in bed for a while.
Su Qing bit her lip tightly, suddenly grabbed Su Mo's sleeve, choked, scared, and whispered: Third sister, second sister is about to leave, you must not have anything to do. What should I do if something happens to you?
Su Mo patted Su Qing's hand lightly and replied gently: Don't worry, the second sister is a little undecided because she is suddenly leaving. As you said, the signing of the document cannot be trusted, maybe the signing of the document is about the fact that I almost died when I hit a pillar in prison a few days ago, so you don't need to take it seriously, go and rest.
Third sister, I will become like you in the future, smart and strong. Su Qing made up her mind that in the future, she would slowly stop being cowardly! Be brave enough to face a thing.
Good!
With Su Yuan's steady breathing, Su Qing also fell asleep on the bed.
Su Mo blew out the candle, then sat on the side, waiting quietly, waiting for the dead of night.
Su Wenxun lives next door.
Hearing the response, after the three Su Yuan sisters had already fallen asleep, Su Wenxun also lay on the bed.
It's just tossing and turning, and I can't sleep.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, something was wrong! It's so unusual. The three sisters suddenly decided to come to pray for blessings, and Su Yuan suddenly wanted to go to the nunnery to live for a while, how could they suddenly make such a decision? Are they trying to hide something?
What would you want to hide?
If you really want to hide something, then you must avoid everyone's eyes.
What he wanted to know was what they were trying to hide!
He pondered for a long time, but still had no answer. Maybe it's just overthinking? After all, Su Mo and the others are not different today.
The night was deep, the cold moon hung high in the sky, and a few black clouds drifted past the moon. Su Wenxun gradually became a little sleepy, just talk about it tomorrow.
Several black shadows leaped over the glazed tiles.
There was a murderous aura between the black shadow's robes.
Su Mo fell asleep with her head resting on her hands, and suddenly, a slight sound on the roof made her suddenly open her eyes.
She looked up at the top of her head, and dust fell down.
Someone!
Who is it?
Before they could tell the difference, there was no sound, and these people were looking for someone else.
Su Mo glanced at the hourglass, the hour is almost up, Liu Jingsheng should have arrived, tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night, but Su Yuan must also be sent away, otherwise if you lose this opportunity, there will be no next chance!
Sure enough, in the next moment.
A nearby room suddenly burst into flames, and the night was lit up by the light of a fire, followed by the deafening cries for help.
Su Mo frowned, things are not good.
What's going on?
Su Qing and Su Yuan were awakened at the same time, and the two looked at Su Mo in shock and dazedness, what was going on outside?
Someone set fire. Su Mo replied in a low voice.
Suddenly there is a fire, everyone will run out of the room at the same time, and the situation will be chaotic.
In this way, if you want Su Yuan to have a reasonable reason to leave, I'm afraid it is extremely difficult!
Suddenly, a man barged in.
It's Liu Jingsheng!
Miss Su, what should we do now? Liu Jingsheng asked in a deep voice.
Su Mo immediately asked: What is the situation outside?
Liu Jingsheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Su Mo to be so calm, he immediately replied: Another courtyard was set on fire, and it was where Zhao Wugongzi lived. It won't be jeopardized for the time being.
Hearing this, Su Mo nodded, it turned out that the target of those people today was Zhao Zhen, she glanced at Su Qing and Su Yuan in a panic, and immediately said to Liu Jingsheng: Liu Jingsheng, we need to change our plans.
As soon as Su Mo's words fell, suddenly the door was kicked open again.
Su Wenxun suddenly barged in.
At the same time, Liu Jingsheng jumped up and hid on the beams of the house.
There's something going on out there, and I'm worried about you. Su Wenxun saw that Su Mo and the three of them were in the room, and the suspicion hovering in his heart in the middle of the night finally dissipated.
Su Mo walked to the door and looked at Su Wenxun with an expressionless face, Brother Wenxun, there is a difference between men and women, even if something important happens, Brother Wenxun should knock on the door and ask if he can enter. Besides, the place where the fire started is in another courtyard, and it will not affect us for the time being, so why should we be so alarmed and disruptive?
Su Wenxun's face suddenly turned red and white, I was reckless, you should rest first. Now that the fire has been contained, there is no need to worry.
I do not send it. Su Mo immediately closed the door.
Su Wenxun, who was turned away, took a while before his face eased, what he did just now was indeed reckless, because the three sisters were wearing underwear, not outer shirts, because he had suspicions in his heart, so he did this, but he didn't expect Su Mo to be so angry. However, the anger was right, and at the same time, it showed that he was indeed suspicious just now.
When the door was closed, when Su Wenxun outside the door ordered someone to go and check the situation, Liu Jingsheng jumped down again and waited for Su Mo's order.
About half a moment later, Su Mo whispered to Liu Jingsheng: You go to find a place to rest first, and come early tomorrow morning. I can't leave lightly tonight, the situation outside is unknown, I'm afraid that all the guests on the mountain won't sleep now, they are all waiting for news, and they can't make Su Wenxun find out that something is wrong before dawn.
Liu Jingsheng immediately responded: Yes. Later, he was discovered by leaving the front door, so he left through the window on the other side.
Su Yuan asked worriedly: Third sister, what's going on? Why did the room where Zhao Wugongzi lived suddenly catch fire?
Hearing this, Su Mo shook his head: I don't know yet. Zhao Zhen is the young master of the Zhao family, and his position must be a thorn in the side of some people.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.
Su Mo asked back in a cold voice: Who?
In response to her, a cold cold voice commanded: Open the door.
