Chapter Seventy-Two: Su Li Knows the Truth

Hou Manqi was losing his mind, and he heard a gentle knock outside the door.

Then the maid's voice came

"County Lord, it's time to eat."

Hou Manqi was still distracted, as if he hadn't heard what the maid said. Shi Wanqing saw Hou Manqi like this, and smiled softly. Then he walked slowly to the door, pushed it open and walked out.

The person the maid saw was actually Shi Wanqing.

After blessing Shi Wanqing, he straightened up and invited, "Please also invite Miss Shi and the county lord to follow me to the main hall for dinner."

Shi Wanqing looked at the gate of the waiting house. A far-sighted opening.

"In my opinion, it's not necessary, your county lord shouldn't be able to eat now, even if he wants to eat, he shouldn't want to sit with me to eat, I'm still not annoying, it's okay, I'll go back first."

After speaking, he waved his hand at the maid. Walked straight towards the gate of the house.

Seeing Shi Wanqing leave the house, the little maid walked into Hou Manqi's room with some confusion.

After entering, I saw Shi Wanqing sitting on a chair, and then looked around the room. Then he asked Hou Manqi with doubts, "County Lord, why don't you see Miss Su?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing Su Lihou's prayer, he suddenly came back to his senses, looked at his maid and said, "You, what did you say?" Su Li, she's not here."

"No, just now Miss Su came over with your favorite salted duck before you came back, and then we said you weren't there, so she said she hid in your room first, and she would give you a surprise later" After speaking, the maid probed around again. Scratching his head, he said stupidly

"Strange, why is it gone? I obviously saw Miss Su walk in with my own eyes."

Hou Manqi thundered at this moment, stood up with the handle of the chair, looked around the house, and finally walked behind the screen, looking at the curtains that were slightly blown by the wind because he forgot to close the window.

After calling "Su Li" in self-talk. As soon as his feet were weak, he was about to fall to the ground.

The maid's eyes were quick, and she rushed forward with an arrow to support the paralyzed Hou Manqi.

Hou Mengqi collapsed in the maid's arms, tears filled her eyes, and she gasped for breath. His hand tightly grasped the wooden frame of the screen before he choked up.

"She, Su Li, she heard it all, she heard it all, so she chose to leave silently?"

The more the maid listened, the more confused she became, what the hell was going on? The relationship is that the county lord and Miss Shi just talked about some unknown secrets here, and they happened to be heard by Su Li, who was hiding in the room. looked at Hou Manqi, who was so weak that he couldn't even stand up straight, and the maid spoke

"Group leader, Ah Yun will help you sit and rest for a while" After speaking, he was going to help Hou Manqi to sit down on the chair.

Who knew that Hou Manqi was struggling to hold on to the wooden frame of the screen, and then opened his mouth very weakly

"I, I'm going to find Su Li, I'm going to explain to him, I'm not the kind of person Shi Wanqing said" After speaking, he stumbled out with stumbling steps.

Seeing this, Ah Yun immediately stepped forward to help Hou Manqi.

After holding Hou Manqi, Ah Yun realized that Hou Manqi was trembling all over his body at this moment. And Hou Manqi also pushed away Ah Yun with a trembling hand. Begin with the same trembling voice

"No need for Ah Yun, I, I'm going to go by myself"

After saying that, he lifted his feet with great difficulty, stepped out of the threshold, and walked out.

Originally, Su Mansion has always been very close to Hou Mansion, and in the past, if Hou Manqi went to find Su Li, he only needed to take a cup of tea. But today, Hou Manqi used all his strength and spent a stick of incense before he walked to the door of Su Mansion.

looked at the closed door of the Su Mansion. Hou Man held his hand uncomfortably and hesitated for a while outside the door of the Su Mansion. Looking at this Su Mansion where she used to come to eat and drink every three or five days, she didn't think that at this time, she didn't even have the courage to step forward and knock on the door, thinking of this, Hou Man prayed for a heart, plucked up the courage to step forward, and knocked on the door of Su Mansion.

In a few moments, a crack opened in the door. When the family saw that it was Hou Manqi, he blessed his body and called the county lord. And did not continue to leave the door open. Instead, he continued to ask politely, "Why is the county lord here?" ”

Hou Manqi smiled, "Ah, I'll come to Su Li to talk about something." ”

Hearing this, Jiading prayed to Hou Man again, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, county lord, I said it when Miss came back just now, and she didn't see anyone, including, including you."

After speaking, Jia Ding raised his head and looked at Hou Manqi with embarrassment.

Seeing that Su Li didn't want to see him, Hou Manqi was also a little anxious, and said to the family, "You let me in, I came to her for this matter."

Jia Ding glanced at Hou Manqi apologetically, and then bowed down and said, "It's just a small family in the next place, please also ask the county lord, don't be embarrassed, the county lord or please go back, the young lady came back crying when she came back, and now I don't think I'm in a good mood, you might as well wait for the young lady to come back when the young lady is angry, and she won't see you."

"What? Su Li cried? Hearing the news that Su Li came back crying, Hou Manqi's heart was even tighter.

This time, the family didn't reply to her again, and after blessing him, he said, "Group leader, please go back" and locked the door of Sufu.

"Squeak" and looked at the closed gate of the Su Mansion. Hou Manqi fell silent again. At the gate of Su Mansion, after standing stunned for a long time. Hou Manqi carried the hem of his skirt and walked down the stairs in front of the gate of Su Mansion in a daze.

Hou Manqi did not return to the Hou Mansion after leaving the Su Mansion, but sat down in a teahouse opposite the Su Mansion.

It was getting dark. Hou Manqi, who had been sitting in the teahouse all afternoon, still didn't wait for Su Li to come out. Lift the teacup on the table and drink the tea from the cup. Hou Manqi got up and left the teahouse leisurely.

She must explain clearly to Su Li, since she can't wait for Su Li, she can only go in by herself.

As the night deepened, Hou Manqi came to the high wall of Su Mansion, and jumped after tapping his toes lightly. He entered the inner courtyard of the Su Mansion.

Hou Manqi easily found Su Li's room.

I saw that Su Li's courtyard was blinded by black lights, which was very different from other courtyards in Su Mansion.

Hou Manqi stood outside Su Li's courtyard gate, thought about it, and walked over with his feet raised.

Su Li didn't actually fall asleep, but he was in a bad mood tonight and went to bed earlier.

Su Li, who was holding his head in the quilt and thinking about things, heard a gentle push on the door. His eyes flashed, and he touched the dagger under the pillow and spoke coldly

"Who?"

Hearing Hou Manqi's footsteps, he paused. Speak towards Su Li behind the screen

"It's me, Su Li"

Hearing the familiar voice, Crisp Pear put the dagger holding the cold light back under the pillow before speaking

"It's so late, I don't know what the county lord is talking about?"

"I ......," Hou Man prayed and stopped.

Seeing Hou Manqi like this, Su Li sneered lightly in the tent before speaking.

"Since the county lord is fine, then please go back first, I also have to rest, and I can't send Su Li off."

Hou Manqi still stood in place. After clenching his fists tightly, he spoke towards Su Li behind the screen.

"I'm sorry Su Li, I really didn't, I really didn't know you, you like Zhuang Zhai, I, I didn't take advantage of him"

"That's enough," Su Li's voice trembled a little.

"Is it interesting that you're just saying this now? You just don't dare to admit it, otherwise you wouldn't be in such a hurry to explain to me, in fact, everyone knows it, doesn't it? ”

"Su Li......" Hou Manqi was interrupted by Su Li before he finished speaking

"Okay, I don't want to hear what you say here, whether you use it or not, I don't blame you, it's just that after listening to Shi Wanqing's words, I suddenly felt tired, in fact, even if we don't have Shi Wanqing to say this, sooner or later it will cause a situation like today."

"Oh, by the way, and what I heard today, about other people's things, I won't say it, we grew up together, and now although the love is not as good as it was back then, I, Su Li, am by no means the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge and betrays his friends, what you said with Shi Wanqing today, I just don't know"

"No, Su Li, I didn't mean that, I came to you today just to explain to you, have you forgotten that you said when you were a child that we were friends for life?" Hou Manqi spoke.

Su Li, who was sitting on the bed, smiled bitterly and looked at the salted duck wrapped in oiled paper on the bedside table. Then he relented and continued to speak

"For a lifetime? Lord, we're not children anymore, and you should know that nothing lasts, let alone a joke from childhood. ”

"Instead of coming to me in the middle of the night to reminisce about the past, the county lord should think about what he can do so that his efforts for so many years will not be in vain."

"Su Li, could you please give me a chance to explain? I know you're angry and you're saying it on purpose."

"No need, group leader, please go back, it's late at night, I really have to rest" Su Li covered his head, and his voice came from the quilt.

Hearing this, Hou Manqi looked at his toes. Then he raised his head and said to Su Li behind the screen, "Then you can rest well, I will come to see you tomorrow", and then exited Su Li's room in frustration.

。。。。。。

Prison cells of the penal department.

Jiang Guantong leaned on Ji Fan's shoulder and slept soundly, smacking his lips from time to time. In a daze, he was still reading some of the dishes he usually likes to eat.

Ji Zheng, who was holding Erlang's legs on the side, glanced at Jiang Guantong with disgust. Spoke to Ji Fan

"Guan Tong won't dream that she is eating again, if she continues like this, her harath will have to drip on your clothes"

Ji Fan tilted his head and looked at Jiang Guantong. Didn't speak.

Then Ji Zheng also rubbed his stomach.

"I seem to be hungry too, is there anyone to bring us food, Brother Huang."

After speaking, he also looked at the direction of the cell door.

After a long time, it was dark and there was still no one on the other side of the corridor.

Ji Wei sighed, ready to continue lying on the table to recuperate.

But he never thought that at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor. Ji Zheng raised his head and spoke to Ji Fan

"Somebody is coming, somebody is coming"

Hearing this, Ji Fan also raised his head and glanced in the direction of the corridor before lowering his head again.

Ji Zheng looked in the direction of the corridor.

He was still muttering, "Who is it, are you here to bring me food?" ”
