Chapter 42: A Blessing in Disguise

"Who." Su Xizhu suddenly heard footsteps, looked behind, Zhongli was startled, and instantly blocked in front of Su Xizhu.

"Big brother-in-law?" Su Xizhu looked at the visitor and exclaimed, how could Han Zhan be here? Isn't he an official outside? Could it be that he came back privately? Is this a felony? Did she and Zhong Lishu know something they shouldn't know? Could it be that they are really in danger today?

Different from Su Xizhu's secret vigilance, Zhong Lishu saw that it was Han Zhan, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, "Big cousin-in-law, my cousin is injured, do you have any medicine there?" ”

Han Zhan just entered Beijing today, and he met a killer, he didn't want to show off, so he left people to deal with those people and left with Jixiang, who knew that the lantern would catch fire, so he had to avoid here, but he didn't expect to meet Su Xizhu and Zhong Lishu, especially in this scene now.

"I happened to go back to Beijing to report on work, I encountered something on the way, I didn't expect to meet you, don't worry, I'll take a look."

Han Zhan was amused when he saw Su Xizhu's vigilance, and listening to Han Zhan's explanation, Su Xizhu was a little embarrassed, feeling that he was all soldiers, so he obediently handed over his injured hand.

"The man tried to kill us, and the guards died." Su Xizhu pointed to Wang Shi's corpse, Han Zhan frowned when he looked at the knife wound on Su Xizhu's arm, took out the medicine and sprinkled it on the wound, Su Xizhu screamed.

"What's the matter, cousin, does it hurt?" Zhong Li Shu was in a hurry.

"It's okay, cousin big tree, don't worry, thank you, brother-in-law." Han Zhan looked at Su Xizhu's sweaty face but he was very strong, and his eyes flashed with appreciation.

"Although this medicine is painful, it works well and does not leave scars. How did you get hurt? ”

"The man was going to hurt us, and I instinctively blocked it with my arm." Su Xizhu didn't want people to know her bravery just now, so she made an excuse, but she didn't know how much Han Zhan had seen, and seeing that Han Zhan didn't say anything, her heart settled down a little.

Han Zhan looked at Zhong Lishu, who was unscathed, and was a little dissatisfied, and actually let a little girl block the knife, Zhong Lishu heard it, and knew that it was his cousin who didn't let people know that she knew kung fu and didn't explain, yes, my cousin is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and she really shouldn't have kung fu.

Su Xizhu was actually really afraid that Han Zhan would kill her and Zhong Li because of some secret return, but now it seems that at least Han Zhan's return to the emperor has crossed the clear road, which means that she and Zhong Li are safe.

"Shizi, the people from Su Mansion and Zhongli Mansion are coming here." Auspiciousness suddenly appeared.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, my cousin and I didn't see you today." Regardless of whether Han Zhan came back and passed the bright road, it should not be said by her and Zhong Lishu, especially since Han Zhan is obviously low-key now. Han Zhan looked at Su Xizhu and suddenly smiled, he was really so keen and smart.

"Okay, your family is here, I'll go first." After that, he glanced at Su Xizhu again, turned around and flashed into the woods.

"Cousin, you have to remember that Wang Shi was already seriously injured when he was fighting with the guards, so just because I was injured, I didn't have the strength to fall and die." Zhong Lishu was so smart that he nodded yes.

"Sister Zhu, where are you?" When Su Xizhu heard it, it was her father.

"Dad, we're here." Su Che saw his daughter and nephew rushing over, only to see the blood on his daughter's body and the obviously injured arm, and shook it.

"Sister Zhu, how are you, tell your father, where are you still injured, does it matter?" Su Che looked at Su Xizhu's arm, for fear that she would still be injured.

"No, and my cousin happens to have medicine on him, I'm fine, Dad, don't worry." Su Xizhu hurriedly comforted, her father is a weak scholar, don't be frightened.

Was Su Che frightened? Of course, when he heard that the tower of the observation deck on the street had fallen and caused a fire, and the people had a stampede and didn't know how many people were killed or injured, he was frightened, especially when his son came back and his daughter was gone, if he hadn't come out to find his daughter, Su Che felt that he would have fainted like his wife.

"Third uncle, it's all my fault, my cousin was injured to protect me, and it was because Wang Shi wanted to kill me that he would affect my cousin." Zhong Lishu's eyes were red, it was because he was too useless to affect his cousin.

"It's okay." As soon as Su Che heard that Wang Shi was going to kill Zhong Lishu, he knew that things were not simple, especially since there were three corpses outside, Su Che's eyes darkened, if his brother-in-law wanted to make peace with the mud, it would also depend on whether he would agree to the Hou Mansion of Annan.

Su Che asked Zhong Lishu and their guards to send the four corpses to the Changping Marquis Mansion, and he took someone back with his daughter.

On the other side, Ji Xiang and Han Zhan said when they went to the palace, "One of the three people outside was killed defenselessly, and the other two were all killed in battle, as for the one named Wang Shi, there are three kinds of weapon wounds on his body, and the most serious wound is indeed the wound on the back, which is the entire dagger inserted into it, which shows the great strength of that person." ”

Han Zhan frowned, "Is there anything else in the dagger's wound besides that?" ”

"No, and depending on the size, it's not a weapon for the three outsiders." Ji Xiang shook his head, and did not find any extra weapons around. Han Zhan paused, then looked back at the woods, and thought of something in disbelief.

"Moreover, there are some small scratches on Wang Shi's body, which look very much like a woman's hairpin." Ji Xiang said with some hesitation, the woman in it is only the in-law lady, but that kind of young lady can have the courage to scratch Wang Shi, and scratch more than once?

Han Zhan suddenly laughed, his wife and sister really only surprised him all along. Su Xizhu didn't know that her old bottom was almost guessed by Han Zhan, and when she arrived home, she happened to meet her mother stumbling out, and his brother was scrambling to stop him.

"Mother, brother."

"Sister Zhu." Jiang Shi watched her husband come in with her daughter in her arms and immediately pounced.

"What's wrong, are you hurt?" Jiang Shi looked at the blood on his daughter's body and trembled with fright.

"Sister, who hurt you." Su Wen also rushed to Su Xizhu's side, distressed. Xiaobai, who had never seen the shovel officer, also meowed when he saw the shovel officer who suddenly lost his spirit.

"Mother, brother, I'm fine, it's just that my arm was slashed, don't worry." Su Xizhu hurriedly comforted, her mother's face was worse than hers.

Su Xizhu rubbed Xiaobai's head again, this little guy is usually very arrogant, but now he obediently sticks to her lying on her stomach and gently adds his hand, which can be seen to be frightened.

At this time, the government doctor also came over, proving that the medicine on Su Xizhu's arm was indeed very useful, and then prescribed a decoction to calm the body and nourish the blood, and left.

Su Xizhu drank the medicine and fell asleep after a night of tossing, Jiang was not worried about his daughter, and accompanied him, Su Che knew that this matter could not be hidden from the family, and went to the courtyard of Old Lady Qi.

Sure enough, the eldest brother was already there, "How is Sister Zhu?" ”

"It's okay, I've fallen asleep after drinking the medicine, and there are no other wounds except for my arm." Su Che looked at his mother and eldest brother's relieved expressions, and his expression was still not good.

"Mother, eldest brother, Brother Shu said that Sister Zhu was injured in order to protect him, the key is that the perpetrator is Brother Shu's guard." Old Madam Qi and Su Wang glanced at each other, and they didn't understand why the two children suffered this disaster, and anger flashed in their eyes.

"Bastard." Su Wang patted the table, "Mother, I'm going to Changping Houfu, Sister Zhu is the granddaughter of our Houfu, and Brother Shu is the grandson of the grandson, if Zhong Lijing doesn't give us an explanation, I will lift them Changping Houfu." ”

Zhong Lijing and Su Rou have a bad relationship, so those concubines are very restless, before Brother Shu was drugged, Su Wang thought that Zhong Lijing had learned a lesson, who knew that this time he was actually exploited again, and even almost killed two children.

Old Madam Qi was also very angry, but she was more disappointed in Su Rou, she was a lady waiting for a family, even if her husband didn't like her, even the people around her son could make mistakes, could it be that her eyes were usually on those concubines? Have you forgotten what is the capital of a woman to settle down in her husband's house?

"Big brother, don't worry, it's late now, let's go together tomorrow morning, after all, we have to give my brother-in-law some time, although he doesn't like his sister, but he definitely has expectations for Brother Shu, and the other people in Changping Houfu will not let such a talented descendant of Brother Shu fold in the conspiracy of the back house."

Of course, Su Che was even more angry, after all, Su Xizhu was his biological daughter, but the two families were in-laws, so he believed that Zhong Lijing was not a fool and would definitely deal with it impartially.

Old Madam Qi nodded, feeling that the third son was very polite, and let them leave after looking at the sky, "It's so decided, it's late, go and rest."

When Su Wang and Su Che left, Old Lady Qi chatted with Mama Qi, and the smile on her face was obvious, "Sister Zhu not only helped herself win a good marriage today, but also preserved the relationship between the Hou Mansion of Annan and the Hou Mansion of Changping, and she herself can be regarded as a blessing in disguise." ”

If something happened to Su Xizhu and Zhong Lishu tonight, and they found out that those people in Zhong Lijing's backyard did it, then the two mansions would not be dead.

But today, Su Xizhu's situation made her background unimportant, which was originally a little unworthy of Zhong Lishu, the grace of saving her life, her cousin, and after all, she was the daughter of the Hou Mansion, Su Xizhu had no problem marrying Zhong Lishu as the princess.

"Yes, the third lady has not disappointed at a critical time." Mama Qi agreed, but the third lady has been surprising people all the time.

Su Xilan and Zhao Yu knew that Su Xizhu came back safely and saved Zhongli and broke a lot of things, God knows that when they found out that Su Xizhu was missing, they were worried about the slightest hint of joy, knowing that now Su Xizhu not only came back safely but also saved her cousin, why did many of them save their cousin?

Zhong Lishu came back with four corpses, Zhong Lijing already knew what had happened, and his face was very ugly, and Su Rou had already gone to the backyard to punish all the concubines and knelt, and Zhong Lijing did not stop him after knowing it.

He can allow the concubines to compete for favor, and even pamper and not take Su Rou in their eyes, but he will never allow them to stretch out their hands to Zhong Lishu, the eldest son he has high hopes for.
