Chapter 429: Appointment
Is it? Someone told me two days ago that this Jinling City is beautiful and ready to retire here, why is it suddenly leaving? Why do you have to hide everything from me, just like my father? I'm not a three-year-old anymore, and I have my own way of doing things. Su Tong said with tears in his eyes.
At the beginning, her father and mother didn't want to tell her about anything and left like that, and she still doesn't understand why the uncle chased and killed their family so ruthlessly?
Now that even Xu Lao is leaving, it makes her even more suspicious, what is it that she can't know?
They have been treating themselves as flowers in a greenhouse since they were children, and they don't let themselves participate in anything, and she has watched her father and mother die tragically in front of her but can't do anything about it, isn't that enough?
Song Xinshu sighed helplessly, from the perspective of parents, Su Yun's father and mother's choice was not wrong, they only hoped that their children could live a safe and happy life, but her background did not allow her to live a life in a mess.
"Elder Xu, I understand what you and your uncle and aunt think, but Su Tong is a living person, and she should know all the truth. As for how to choose the future path, it is up to her to decide! I think it's a lot more appropriate to give it to her than to put it with me. Song Xinshu took out the jade pendant from his sleeve, this thing was originally plain, and he had no right to decide whether it would go or stay.
Xu Lao didn't have time to stop it, Song Xinshu had already taken out the jade pendant, and in the end he could only smile helplessly, at the beginning, his friend told him not to give this thing to Su Yun, but now he is afraid that he is going to break his promise.
Su Tong looked at the thing in Song Xinshu's hand dumbfounded, isn't that his family heirloom jade pendant? How did it end up here?
She obviously saw that her father would carry that jade pendant with him at any time before his death, although she didn't know why, but she understood that it was extremely important to her father, and when their family was in trouble, the uncle took the jade pendant without hesitation.
She didn't think about it so much at the time, but now she thinks that it should be very important to them, but how could it appear here with Uncle Xu? What's the secret?
"Uncle Xu, what the hell is going on? Could it be that our family's tragic death was all because of this jade pendant? Su Tong held the jade pendant in his hand tightly, obviously there was still a warm sun outside, but he felt that the coolness from the jade pendant was going to freeze people.
The stakes were so high that he really didn't know where to start. Su Tong, will the child be able to withstand the impact of this incident?
If he could, he hoped that this matter would be buried in his heart for the rest of his life, at least so that the child could feel better, but he didn't expect that she didn't give up the idea of avenging her family, otherwise she wouldn't have risked handing over this jade pendant to Song Xinshu for safekeeping, just in case.
He set his eyes on Song Xinshu, hoping that they would give him an idea.
Song Xinshu nodded secretly, "Elder Xu, since some things have happened, it is impossible for them to pass quietly. Do you think that person will let Su Tong go when he finds out that something is fake? Your concealment now will only make us more passive in the future! ”
"Uncle Xu, what's going on? I want to know everything, my father and mother died to protect me, do you think I can continue to live indifferently? ”
"Instead of watching me die, tell me all the ins and outs of what happened, and at least I can be prepared. Now that you have handed over this jade pendant to Xinshu, you have already involved her. Su Tong said.
Xu Lao felt helpless, when he left with the jade pendant, he had already thought that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect this matter to come so quickly.
"This matter has to start from five years ago, when Su Tong was still young, and the Lin family at that time didn't want to be so prosperous now, and the family was still harmonious. However, everything has changed since Su Wei's father became the head of the Lin family, according to common sense, the position of the head of the family should be inherited by the eldest son, but Su Wei's grandfather likes Su Wei's father, and he thinks that Su Wei's uncle is insidious and cunning, with a small belly, so he passed the position of head of the family to Su Wei's father. ”
"Since then, the battle between the two rooms of the Lin family has not been broken, and Uncle Su has always wanted to take back the position of the head of the family that originally belonged to him, but the Lin family is thriving under the leadership of your father, and the elders of the family are also obedient to this head of the family, and your father's prestige and connections in the court are much better than your uncle, so he has never dared to act rashly, just to make some small moves behind his back."
"It's just that everything changed when something happened to the Su family, and your father provoked the anger of the current saint because of the Su family's affairs, and his official position was demoted three levels in a row. But your uncle took advantage of this opportunity to sneak around and gain the trust of the current emperor, and his official position is much higher than that of your father. I have been secretly suppressing your father for the past few years, and some time ago I seized the opportunity to let your father die. ”
The more Su Tong listened, the more shocked she became, she always felt that the uncle's family was very good to her, even if her father had an accident this time, they didn't lend a hand, she still thought that he was the one who wanted to protect the Lin family, and never thought that this matter was actually his hands and feet behind his back, and the purpose was just for the position of the head of the family.
This is why they came to the house to search after the accident at home, but he never thought that Yu Pei had already been taken away by Xu Lao.
"This jade pendant is a token of the head of the family, those elders of the Lin family only recognize this jade pendant, without this jade pendant, many of the Lin family's secret forces cannot be mobilized. At the beginning, your father was worried that something would happen, so he made a plan early, and who knew that it really came true! Xu Lao said as he looked at Su Yan's face.
Su Tong carefully looked at the jade pendant in her hand, she had also put the player's father's jade pendant many times, but she didn't see any difference between the two jade pendants, so how did they distinguish them?
"Uncle Xu, what is the difference between these two jade pendants?" Su Tong asked.
After Xu Lao took the jade pendant, he rotated repeatedly against the sun outside, and then a word appeared on the ground.
Song Xinshu and the two of them were very surprised, if it weren't for Xu Lao, they really wouldn't have discovered the doorway here.
"This jade pendant can reveal this order at the right angle, and this secret is only known to those high-ranking elders except for the family master." Xu Lao said.
After Su Tong knew the ins and outs, he couldn't help but feel a little ironic, he had really lived in vain for more than ten years before, and he had been living a stable life under the protection of his father and mother, and he stupidly regarded his enemies as relatives.
She really can't figure out who is the head of the house, is there such a big difference? Aren't they blood relatives?
No one can answer her this question, everyone in this world is for profit, all for profit, and blood and family are not as rich as the wealth of a country.
"Now that this matter has been made clear, this thing should also be returned to its rightful owner. As for how to do it, everything depends on Su Yun's own ideas. Since we are destined to meet, no matter what you want to do, I will do my best to help you! Song Xinshu said.
Su Tong's heart is really messed up at the moment, she was bent on avenging her father and mother before, but she didn't expect that in the end, the enemy was actually her own relative, is there anything more ironic than this?
"Elder Xu, you should have a lot to say, it's not very convenient for me here, so I'll leave first!" After Song Xinshu finished speaking, he left regardless of the obstruction of the two.
She was a little angry in her heart, but she didn't know who to vent her anger on.
Xu Lao handed over such an important jade pendant to himself, although he said that he might want to help her, but more importantly, he wanted to find a shield for Su Tong, as long as he didn't fall down, Su Tong would have something to rely on in this life.
He grasped his temperament of being gracious, and for the sake of Xu Lao's kindness, he would not stand idly by in the future.
She does recognize Su Tong as a friend, but it really doesn't feel good to be calculated like this.
After she left, Xu Lao felt a little ashamed, he did this by throwing all the mess to Song Xinshu, he was sure that Song Xinshu would not stand by if he knew about this matter, and said that the Su Yun family had fallen to the point where it was now, and it was inseparable from the Su family.
But he had to do this, he didn't dare to forget his friend's entrustment for a day, and now he only has such a daughter left, and he has to protect her no matter what, so he can only be sorry for Song Xinshu.
Song Xinshu looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and was a little confused, not knowing where he should go?
Then I walked aimlessly on the street, I don't know how long I walked, I felt a little tired, and I saw a beef noodle restaurant in a blink of an eye.
She walked straight over and found that the boss was still the same boss as before, "Uncle, bring me a bowl of beef noodles!" ”
The old man turned around and saw that he was his regular customer, although Song Xinshu didn't come often, he had always had the ability to never forget, "Madam, you came just in time, and there is the last beef noodle left." After selling this bowl, I'm ready to close the stall! ”
Song Xinshu pulled out a smile, he didn't really want to accept this sentence, and he didn't know if the old man didn't see that she was in a bad mood, and then said: "Madam, I remember that the last time you came over, you were accompanied by a son, he should be your husband." Why didn't I come with you today? ”
"My uncle's memory is really good, he is indeed my husband, but he has something to do, so he didn't come with me!" Song Xinshu said lightly.
"So that's the case, the two of you are not ordinary people at first glance."
