Chapter 22: Dreaming
The next day, she went to attend the tea party of the nobles, and as soon as she walked into the garden with the maid, she heard someone whispering that the prince had lost interest in her, and now he hooked up with her sister Su Wanyan.
As soon as she passed, they did not speak, but covered their mouths with a handkerchief and laughed.
As soon as she left, the people began to laugh again, and deliberately let her hear.
"Originally, the person who had a marriage contract with the prince was Su Wanyan, but she was robbed later."
"I think the prince likes Su Wanyan more, Su Wanyan is everyone's beautiful style, and the masters in the palace definitely like her more."
"I used to look at people from the corner of my eyes, and it was disgusting to be arrogant, she thought we didn't know about her and the prince's pickled things, hum, now I see how proud she is."
"Tsk, someone saw with their own eyes, she and the prince ...... in the woods"
Su Yuxian couldn't stay any longer when she heard these words, and went back to the house angrily, just when Su Wanyan came back from outside, she gritted her teeth and waited on the side of the road, and when she saw Su Wanyan approaching, she blocked her way.
"Sister, where did you come back, didn't you go to meet someone privately?"
Su Wanyan saw that she was yin and yang, with a brutal aura all over her body, and she didn't want to deal with her at all, so she stretched out a finger and pushed her away, and then Shi Shiran walked over.
Su Yuxian shouted angrily behind her: "You, you barbarian." ”
Barbarian? What a new word.
Su Wanyan squeezed her fist at her, she had suffered a loss, and knowing how powerful Su Wanyan was, she hurriedly shut up and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
The next day, when she met Su Wanyan, who was wearing a new skirt and looked more radiant, she burned with jealousy in her heart, and muttered in a low voice: "Dress up like a goblin, I don't know who I want to hook up with." ”
Su Wanyan didn't seem to hear it, and Ling Xiu glared at her angrily.
Seeing that Su Wanyan didn't accept the offer, she felt that she was both faceless and angry, so she simply asked bluntly: "Su Wanyan, what's the matter with you and the prince?" Did you seduce him? ”
"Miss, what do you say?" Lingxiu stood still, so angry that she raised her voice.
Su Yuxian saw that the other party responded to her, so she became even more energetic, "What did I say?" Let me tell you, what the prince likes is me, and he is with you just to be fresh, and he just wants to have a play, and after playing, he throws it away like a torn clothes. ”
"I don't know who the torn clothes are." Lingxiu muttered quietly.
"What do you say? You. Su Yuxian was so angry that she trembled, pointed at Lingxiu and said to her maid, "Go and slap her mouth for me." ”
Hearing that she was going to slap her mouth, Su Wanyan pulled Lingxiu behind her, her momentum was awe-inspiring, and she scolded: "I see who dares." ”
Su Yuxian's maid hurriedly took two steps back, Su Yuxian glanced at her hatefully, and was frightened by Su Wanyan's momentum, she didn't dare to do it, so she shook her voice and said, "You, you'd better stay away from the prince." ”
Her unimposing threat made Lingxiu just want to laugh, "I'm like a crazy person all day long, biting people everywhere." ”
Su Wanyan couldn't help laughing, "You don't say a few words, don't care about what she does, and the more you pay attention to her, the more energetic she becomes." ”
All the news that Su Yuxian got came from the prince's mansion, Su Wanyan guarded her from top to bottom, she couldn't ask anything at all, seeing that Su Wanyan often went out of the mansion, she suspected that she had a private meeting with the prince, but she didn't know where they would go.
Although there is no news from the Prince's Mansion, not everyone knows the Prince's whereabouts, and if the people over there don't notice it, so she worries all day long.
The queen agreed to the marriage, but told Huo Qingqing that before getting married, let Su Yuxian meet the prince less, so as not to cause another scandal, so she didn't dare to go to the prince casually.
After thinking about it, I thought of Su Heming, since that scandal, Su Heming has not been close to them, she was originally hypocritical to Su Heming, so after he stayed away from their mother and daughter, she didn't think about redeeming it.
Now she wants to use Su Heming to help her find out the news, so she waited for him on the way to and from school, holding his favorite snacks.
Su Heming looked at her, he wanted to go around and ignore it, but out of etiquette, he still stopped and called "big sister".
Su Yuxian smiled very gently, "Heming, there is a lot of homework, are you tired, look at what the eldest sister has brought you." ”
She pulled out the still warm pastry, "Do you remember?" In the past, you loved to eat the cheese made by the chef at your eldest sister's place, so you can taste it and see if it tastes like that. ”
Su Heming shook his head, "Clean your hands before eating." ”
"Then you go to the eldest sister, the eldest sister has now moved to the attic by the lake, where it is fun, you can play in the water, you can take a boat, and there are many delicious foods."
Usually when it comes to this, Su Heming must not wait for a moment, and he is about to follow, but at this time, he stood still, and said in a loud voice: "I still have to go back to practice Chinese and Wenshu, my sister is still waiting for me to eat, and I dare not delay." ”
After speaking, he saluted Su Yuxian, and then left without looking back.
Su Yuxian watched his back get farther and farther away, so angry that she threw the cheese on the ground, and stepped on it a few more times to smooth out a little.
She didn't give up, the next day when Su Heming got out of school, she waited on the side of the road again, holding a very delicate little tiger-like lantern, and a kite, and asked Su Heming to go with her, but he still refused, saying that he would go back to work hard, and Mr. arranged an article to recite today.
Su Yuxian saw that he was so resolute and seemed to have completely dissociated himself from her, so she angrily went to Huo Qingqing to complain.
"Mother, if you don't care anymore, the prince will let Su Wanyan snatch it away."
She added fuel and vinegar to say that Su Wanyan had done shameless things, and deliberately mocked her, and she couldn't get some news from her yard.
"Mother, you don't know, you treat Su Heming as your own child, and your daughter treats him as her own brother, but this ungrateful, his daughter went to talk to him and wanted him to help find out Su Wanyan's whereabouts, but he ignored it. It's all instigated by that cheap hoof, mother, what do you say? ”
Huo Qingqing naturally knew about the prince's frequent delivery of letters to Su Wanyan recently, and she was also very annoyed, so she said to Su Yuxian: "Don't worry, my mother has a way to deal with her personally, so that she will never dare to worry about your things in the future." ”
"Mother, it's better for you to be good to your daughter." Su Yuxian pouted and snuggled in Huo Qingqing's arms, "When my daughter becomes the crown princess and queen in the future, she will definitely honor your old man and give you the best things." ”
Huo Qingqing was very relieved when she heard this, and stroked Su Yuxian's white and slender hand, with a look of longing, "My Huo Qingqing's daughter must have good looks and talents, count which of the noble girls in the capital can compare, if you don't be that person, who else will it be?" ”
Mother and daughter snuggled up and dreamed together, their minds were filled with desire.
It's late autumn now, it's getting dark early, it's dark when Su Wanyan goes home that day, she asked the maid, and learned that Su Heming has gone back to the house, and she is probably going to rest, so she didn't bother.
She went out early the next morning and told the maid to take good care of Su Heming's food and clothing, but she came back late, and Su Heming was already asleep.
When she got up early the next day, she was dressing up, and the maid who was waiting next to Su Heming ran in and told her that Su Heming was gone, there was no bed, and they didn't look around the yard.
"When did you not see you?" Su Wanyan wasn't too worried at this time, Su Heming was a half-grown child, and he hadn't decided yet, so he thought of what he was, maybe he ran out to play.
"The maid also went into the house at night to take a look, the young master slept well on the bed, and when he got up in the morning, he went to call him and found a pillow under the quilt."
"Where did you look?"
The maidservant said that she had already combed her hair at this time, and she was a little angry, thinking that Su Heming was starting to know the depth again, and she was doing something wrong, maybe she was hooked by Su Yuxian's mother and daughter again, and secretly ran over there, and he used to sneak over early in the morning.
She instructed all the people in Su Heming's house to go out and look for it, starting to expand the range from outside the courtyard and look into the distance.
When everyone left, she said to Lingxiu again: "You go and see Su Yuxian's side to see if the young master has passed." ”
When Lingxiu came back, the people in Su Heming's house hadn't come back yet, and Su Heming hadn't gone to Su Yuxian's side.
Su Wanyan was a little nervous at this time, so she asked people to call back all the people in Su Heming's house, and asked the people who followed Su Heming every day, and she knew that Su Yuxian had really gone to him, brought him delicious food, and wanted to take him to play, but he refused.
"The young master is worried about the young lady waiting for him in the house to eat, and he doesn't forget to do his homework, and he doesn't delay on the road every day when he comes back."
"The young master only went out to play after finishing his homework, and he didn't run around, he just played with the little guys in the garden, and he slept quite early last night, and said that he would get up early to come and see his sister."
After listening to the description of the next person, Su Wanyan came to the conclusion that everything in Su Heming has been normal recently, he has not been in contact with any strangers, and he has not been particularly interested in anything, and it is impossible for him to run out of the house this morning.
She asked her subordinates to inquire about the news in the mansion, and she took Lingxiu out of the mansion, Su Heming is very likely to be no longer in the mansion now, and has been taken away, so it is just right to use someone from the Surprise Speech Hall.
The people of the Surprise Word Hall were all over the capital, dealing with people from all walks of life, and the news of finding people spread quickly. She has always sent people to keep an eye on the vicinity of the General's Mansion, so as to grasp the movements of Huo Qingqing and Su Yuxian, and in less than half an hour, a child pretending to be a beggar came to tell her that the door of the General's Mansion was opened before dawn this morning, because it was not yet the time to open the door at that time, so the door was closed quickly, and a person came out of it pushing a cart, and there was a sack on the cart, and I don't know what it contained.
"In which direction did the man go? What to dress up and what it looks like, do you see it? Su Wanyan asked carefully, she had a hunch that the sack contained Su Heming, and even if she didn't, she couldn't let go of this suspicious place.
During the day, Su Heming has been following people, and if she wants to take him away, she can only take him away in the dead of night, and the maid said that she went in in the middle of the night to take a look, maybe Su Heming had been taken away at that time, and she just took a look, and when she saw that the bed was bulging, there was no movement, and she thought that people were asleep well.
As everyone knows, at that time, people may have been ready to take Su Heming out of the house.
The little beggar said in a loud voice, full of confidence: "I went to Hongyu Street, I was suspicious, and followed for a while, he crossed Hongyu Street to Changle Fang, he walked very fast, my short legs did not follow, and I lost him." I can't tell what he looks like, but if I see him, I'll recognize him. ”
"Okay, you're doing a great job, now go back and freshen up and change your clothes, and come with me later."
"Yes, Pavilion Master."
