Chapter 80: On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds

At night, Dali Temple prison.

A petite figure in a black cloak walked towards the prison under the guidance of the jailer.

The jailer opened the cell door and made a gesture of invitation to her, Su Li bowed slightly to thank her, and walked into the cell with the food box.

The dark, damp cell was deliberately cleaned up, with a small table and a simple single bed made of wooden planks in the corner, covered with hay and a straw mat.

The people in the prison took off their silver armor, changed into refreshing prison clothes after bathing, and sat in the prison calmly, their black hair was scattered at will, their handsome faces were calm and waveless, and a pair of dark and deep eyes sealed the killing of the wild sand in the north.

Su Li walked to the small table and opened the food box, which contained a pot of good wine in addition to the food with all the colors and flavors.

Putting out the meal, Su Li was about to pour wine, but was stopped by a strong big hand: "Disobey the military order and leave the camp without authorization, there are no such soldiers in the Zhenbei Army!" ”

When the words fell, Su Li raised her head and took a big sip of wine from the wine jug: "If it weren't for the general's intention to release water, how could Ah Zhan and I leave the barracks and return to Beijing so easily?" Didn't the general still acquiesce to Yue Yan's return to Beijing? ”

Lu Ji: "......"

Speechless from the rebuttal, Lu Ji withdrew his hand and let Su Li pour him a full bowl of wine.

After pouring it, Lu Ji took it and drank it directly.

The wine is a burning knife liquor from Saibei, and the entrance is like fire, burning from the throat all the way to the stomach, and then spreading to the whole body, quickly dissipating the cold and dampness in the prison.

Su Li put down the wine and sat down opposite Lu Ji, and handed a pair of silver chopsticks to Lu Ji: "The crispy duck of Bahe Zhai and the braised lion head of Drunken Moon Residence, Lord Guogong said that they were all the generals' favorite foods when he was young." ”

Su Li pointed to two plates of brightly colored dishes and said, but Lu Ji's chopsticks had already reached for the plate of air-dried beef on the side.

Air-dried beef is lightweight, long-lasting, and easy to fill, and everyone will have such a little life-saving dry food on their bodies for emergencies.

Kyoto's beef has improved its flavor and is chewy, and the more you eat it, the more fragrant it becomes.

Lu Ji took a bite of beef, his sword eyebrows stretched, and the corners of his lips hooked into a smile.

He was actually very good-looking, Su Li saw him for the first time five years ago, and he could vaguely find traces of the noble son of Kyoto on his face, and now the sword eyebrows were sharpened by the north wind and sand to be as sharp as a blade, and his fair skin turned bronze after being exposed to the sun and rain, and if he sweated, he would be shiny.

When he doesn't smile, his whole body unconsciously exudes a compelling coercion, so that people dare not look directly and dare not approach.

Once you laugh, it is like a spring breeze and rain, and the ironing makes people's hearts feel very comfortable.

Seeing the smile on his face, Su Li couldn't help but bend her eyes.

Fortunately, although the journey was thrilling, we were finally able to meet again.

He has probably never eaten a good meal these days, but now he is accompanied by good wine and food, and he can't stop eating.

Su Li didn't speak, quietly watched him eat, and helped him pour wine from time to time.

I haven't seen each other for a few months, and when I meet again in a dark cell, accompanied by a table of good wine and food, it seems that I have known each other for thousands of years, and I don't need to say too much, just stay like this and feel very at ease.

Military generals are addicted to alcohol, but they are easy to make mistakes when drunk, so Lu Ji does not drink much, the amount of alcohol is not high, a pot of spirits is in the stomach, and a thin layer of crimson color swells up on his bronzed face, which is not obvious, but it makes Su Li see clearly.

"Is the general drunk?"

Su Li asked in a low voice, hearing this, Lu Ji immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, put his hands behind his back, and shook his head obediently.

This is really drunk.

It seems that he drank a jar of wine when he was a child and almost got drunk to death, and was punished by Lu Guogong.

He was indeed not completely drunk, and after shaking his head, he realized that it was Su Li who was sitting in front of him and not Lu Guogong, his body relaxed a little, and he muttered in a low voice: "What about Ah Zhan?" Has he been naughty enough to trouble you these days? ”

"No, he's obedient."

"Oh." He nodded, the corners of his lips rose slightly, a little proud, after all, he was a kid he raised single-handedly, and being obedient was also a long face for him.

Su Li smiled, this person would only show such a childish side at this time.

"General, you're drunk, rest early."

After Su Li finished speaking, he got up to help him go to sleep, but Lu Ji suddenly leaned back, and accidentally fell off the stool and fell to the sky.

“……”

This person is really not drunk, and he can't afford to get drunk......

Su Li smiled unkindly for a while before leaning over to help him.

After entering the cell, Su Li didn't take off her cloak, her hat blocked her face, and also blocked most of the candlelight, so that Lu Ji's face was shrouded in a shadow, and she couldn't see it very really, she could only smell the strong aroma of wine on his body, and suddenly heard him whisper drunken and hazy: "I heard that after Ah Li returned to Beijing, she claimed to be Ah Zhan's mother?" ”

“……”

How did you find out so quickly?

Su Li was speechless when asked, her face was hot, Lu Ji stood up with a carp, and the tall figure stood in front of Su Li like a hill, waiting for her to answer.

Her heartbeat skipped a beat, and Su Li gritted her teeth and tried to stabilize her mind: "It's just an expedient measure, I told Lord Guogong that Ah Zhan's biological mother has someone else." ”

When the words fell, Lu Ji leaned closer, and her nervous and stiff face was reflected in her drunken eyes, but it seemed that she saw someone next to her through her, and her eyes exuded suppressed enthusiasm.

After a long time, he closed his eyes and let out a sigh: "It should be like this......"

He said that it should be so, Ah Zhan's biological mother has someone else, and Su Li should not and cannot take advantage of that reputation.

"General, go to sleep first."

The nervousness suddenly dissipated, and Su Li grabbed Lu Halberd's hand and put it on her shoulder, helping him back to the bed and lying down.

Seeing that he was drunk like this, he was afraid that he would have a headache when he woke up tomorrow, so he took out the sobering pill prepared by Yue Yan from his sleeve pocket and fed him one.

After doing this, he was just about to get up and leave, the hat on his head was suddenly removed, and the scar on his face was undoubtedly revealed, Su Li's eyes flashed a trace of helplessness, and then he was attracted by the depth of this person's eyes.

I don't know how long it took, the man's rough palm was lightly covered with that small scar, and his fingertips rubbed lightly on the uninjured skin, causing a tingling itch, all the way to the heart, inducing palpitations.

"How did it hurt?"

He asked, his tone calm and calm, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was drunk or awake.

"Accidentally burned." Su Li lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze.

She refused to say anything, but Lu Ji could guess how dangerous the situation was at that time, and the hand that caressed her cheek was clasped the back of Su Li's head instead, and with a light hook, she was taken into her arms.

He didn't hold it very hard, Su Li could break away as long as he struggled a little, but this embrace was too generous and warm, and Su Li couldn't resist.

A sigh came from overhead: "Ah Li, I shouldn't have let you go back to Beijing......"

The words were wrapped in straightforward distress, wrapping her whole person, so that she could hide behind him without any harm.

Lu Ji's wine was very good, and he fell asleep soon after holding Su Li, Su Li took off the cloak and covered him, took the things on the table back to the food box and took them away.

"Girl, walk slowly."

The jailer whispered, handed Su Li a lantern, and respectfully watched Su Li leave.

Walking out of Dali Temple, the night breeze was slightly cool, and it began to rain continuously, and the lantern in his hand became fluttering.

Su Li tightened the lantern in her hand, and was about to take a step, when the sound of horses' hooves quickly approached, Chu Huai'an changed into his regular clothes and rode over.

I don't know when the rain fell, but his black hair was already wet from the rain, and his clothes were soaked.

Glancing at each other from a distance not far away, he grabbed the horse's belly and sped up to Su Li, without holding the horse's reins, and stretched out his hand directly towards Su Li: "Get on the horse!" ”

Subconsciously, Su Li threw the lantern and grabbed his hand.

The next moment, his body was pulled out by a strong force and landed firmly behind him.

"Hold me tight!"

At the sound of an order, the horsewhip sounded, and the two of them galloped into the boundless night, the night wind slapped on the face with a light rain, and it hurt finely, Su Li hugged Chu Huai'an's waist tightly and buried his head on his broad back.

Xu had been ordered in advance, and the night curfew had already passed, and they were not hindered from leaving the city.

Out of the city all the way to the west, and then into Longxi County, as usual is unimpeded.

It was already very late at night, and the whole county was quiet, and it was rare for two lanterns to hang in the same coffin shop, and a few small sobs could be heard from inside from time to time.

From the moment she saw Chu Huai'an, Su Li had a faint bad guess, but now she was unexpectedly calm down when she arrived here.

Dismounted neatly, Su Li was about to go in, but was pulled by Chu Huaian and hugged tightly.

Soaked in rain and blowing all the way to the wind, his body was cold, and no matter how generous his arms were, he couldn't reveal a trace of warmth.

"Master Hou, you strangled me."

Su Li reminded in a low voice, Chu Huai'an did not let go, but hugged her tighter and kissed the top of her hair: "Don't be afraid of ......"

"Okay."

Su Li agreed, pushed Chu Huai'an away and stepped into the coffin shop.

There was an oil lamp lit in the house, and Su Li saw at a glance that the floor tiles that entered the door had been simply cleaned, and the large blood stains were no longer there, but the brick cracks were still soaked with blackened blood.

There was a scratch on the wooden board of the cabinet in front of it, and there were blood stains in the scratch, so I don't know what kind of fight it went through.

Su Li swept quickly, did not stop her steps, and opened the curtain and entered the backyard.

There were two coffins parked in the backyard, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the coffin was not covered, and there was no cover, Qi Niang and the group of monkey cubs stood by the coffin, unable to distinguish whether it was rain or tears on their faces.

Su Li slowed down her breathing and walked over slowly.

In the first coffin was a young man with a delicate face, this young man always likes to disguise himself as an old man, Su Li was deceived by him when they first met, and now he is lying here quietly, finally revealing his true face.

Su Li remembered that his name was Chu Yi, a little beggar on the street, because he stole a white-flour steamed bun from Qi Niang, he was taught a lesson by Qi Niang and kept by his side, and he was the oldest child in this group of monkey cubs and the longest time with Qi Niang.

This is the coffin shop, the corpse has been put on makeup, and when it is rained, the makeup powder is washed away, revealing a miserable white and blue complexion, which is extremely terrifying.

Su Li looked at it for a while, reached out to help the young man knead the makeup powder on his face, and then walked to the second coffin.

The two coffins were actually placed very closely, but just a few steps away, Su Li walked for a long time, so long that it seemed that she had walked the past five years again.

From the yellow sand in the north of the Saibei, she walked to the second sister step by step, and changed back to the willful, daring to love and hate little girl back then.

Su Zhaoyue's corpse has also undergone makeup, and I don't know where Qi Niang bought a beautiful dress for her to change.

The skirt is a spring dress, a moon-white bandeau dress, covered with a light white gauze coat, and the beautiful jade hairpin on the head looks very good.

The makeup on Su Zhaoyue's face was also spent, and the red makeup on her cheeks was scattered, a little funny, like a harlequin in a play.

But it wasn't the most glaring, there was a centipede-like stitch on her neck, which could not be concealed no matter how thick the powder was, announcing to the living what pain she had been through.

Su Li raised her hand, her palm trembled uncontrollably, and her vision was blurred.

She remembered that when she woke up that day, the second sister said that she wanted to find a place to settle down, and she wanted to watch herself get married.

She only saw that the notice said that Lu Ji was back, so she was full of thoughts about going back to the city to see how he was, but she ignored that there was a wanted criminal in the court on the notice, named An Jue.

As she was out of town, she noticed something was wrong with the caravan, but she didn't dismount to check it.

She thought about others in her heart, and couldn't wait to go back and take a look sooner to feel at ease.

The difference between one thought is now the separation of yin and yang.

If she had stopped and gone back to check on the caravan for herself, or had she been more attentive when she saw the notice, or even if she hadn't returned to Beijing, would the outcome have been different?

Second sister!

Su Li opened her mouth, her throat was so uncomfortable that she couldn't make a sound, and her tears blurred her vision, so that she could no longer see her second sister's face clearly.

I don't know how long it took, Qi Niang walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder gently: "The person is no longer there, cover the coffin." ”

Qi Niang has always raised this group of monkey cubs as her sons, and when the first year of junior high is gone, the grief in her heart will not be less than that of Su Li.

Su Li lowered her eyes and hid her grief.

"Good!"

The words fell, the coffin lid was closed, and Su Li and Qi Niang nailed a coffin.

The clanging sound of iron hammering echoed in the dilapidated courtyard and the silent rainy night, the dead were gone, and whatever the living did was in vain.

When the morning was about to dawn, the group carried the coffin out of the city, as if they had buried everyone in Baihuayuan not long ago.

Su Li and Qi Niang used a board cart to pull the coffin, and the rest of the children cried all the way and scattered paper money all the way, the rain never stopped, and the paper money fell to the ground and melted into the mud.

Chu Huai'an followed in the end, he wanted to help, but he couldn't do it.

When they arrived at the mass grave, the graves of the people in Baihuayuan were still new, and Su Li and Qi Niang began to dig pits on the left and right sides of the tomb.

After digging a few times, Su Li's heart was shocked, her body shook, and she forcibly swallowed a mouthful of fishy sweetness in her throat, Chu Huaian couldn't stand it anymore, so he snatched the shovel in Su Li's hand and dug a hole.

Su Li's chest was painful and stuffy, she couldn't hold it anymore, and she didn't grab it, so she walked to the side of the cart and sat down, leaning on the coffin, like a person holding the coffin talking intimately.

Chu Huai'an moved quickly, and after helping Su Li dig the pit, he went to help Qi Niang.

The two coffins were put down, the soil was filled, and the day was almost dawn, and the rain stopped in the middle of the night.

Trying to blow the fire fold, Su Li lit a stick of incense and plugged it in, just after doing all this, the clear morning light broke through the haze of the night and shone on the wet soil with water.

Chu Huai'an stood a blank wooden plaque on the grave, and was just about to hand Su Li's brush and cinnabar, Su Li bit her fingertips and wrote on the wood: The tomb of Sister Su Zhaoyue.

A few simple words, she wrote for a long time, and the flesh and blood on her fingertips were ground to the point that the phalanges were almost visible.

"Second sister, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

Don't worry, as long as I still have a breath of air, one day, I will find An Jue, strip him to the bones and flesh, and avenge you!

Su Li said calmly, the words behind him were not spoken, he knelt in front of the grave and kowtowed three times, then got up again and walked to Qi Niang, kneeling down at the grave of the first year of junior high school.

"Qi Niang, I'm sorry."

"What is there to be sorry for, it's your own life, if I don't go out during the day, maybe I can still prevent this disaster for this stinky boy!" Qi Niang whispered, her voice was hoarse, but she didn't mean to be angry and blame Su Li.

Su Li didn't speak again, and kowtowed three times.

After knocking up, his body shook, and after all, he couldn't support it and fell backwards, but he was caught by Chu Huai'an, and when he raised his hand to touch it, his forehead was hot, and he had already started a high fever.

Chu Huai'an picked up Su Li horizontally, turned his head and looked at Qi Niang with a deep gaze: "There are people in the Hou Mansion in the shop, if Qi Niang has any requirements, just mention it, she is very sick, I will take her back first!" ”

Chu Huai'an finished saying that he was leaving, and was pulled by Qi Niang: "When she wakes up, tell her that as long as she doesn't kill people with a knife, the death of others has nothing to do with her, don't take people's lives on your head at every turn, there is no such reason in the world!" ”

"Her mother?"

Chu Huai'an was surprised, Qi Niang raised her finger and pointed to the grave in the middle: "Oh, it's right there!" I was also buried with her a few days ago. ”

“……”

A few hours later, Chu Huai'an returned to the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion with Su Li in his arms, and not long after, the imperial doctor was hurriedly summoned to the Hou Mansion, and the imperial doctor came with the newly canonized Renxian County Lord.

Chu Huai'an was also soaked, he was rushed to bathe by Gao Dahai, and just after changing into clean clothes, Chu Liu pushed the door in.

"Mother, how old are your sons, why don't you knock when you enter the house?"

Chu Huai'an said while wearing his belt, Chu Liu didn't care what he said, and pulled him up and down to check it.

"I'm not hurt, what are you doing?"

Chu Huai'an twisted his waist to dodge, Chu Liu's face softened, and he opened his mouth to ask: "You still have the face to ask me what's wrong?" Where have you been for more than half a month? Do you know that something happened in Beijing that day, and you can't see how worried your mother is? ”

"What is there to worry about? Even if he dies, he will be a good man in 20 years! ”

Chu Huai'an said casually, raising his feet to go out, but was pulled by Chu Liu: "What is not dead, how can you casually put this word on your lips?" ”

Chu Liu was really worried, and now when he heard him speak, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Chu Huaian didn't coax her like usual, and pulled her hand down: "Okay, mother, I still have something!" After saying that, he left without looking back.

Chu Liu's stunned look at the empty palm, the son raised by one hand, it seems that he will never come back.

After experiencing too much during this period of time, Su Li's illness was like a mountain, with constant high fever and coughing, and she couldn't even see the wind.

Chu Huai'an was obsessed with feeding her medicine, three times a day, and when the time came, he appeared at a fixed time, forcing Su Li to take a mouthful of medicine and a mouthful of candied fruit, and after feeding the medicine, the person didn't go out to hang out, just squatted in the yard to bask in the sun, or squatted in the corner of the wall to pull weeds, like a big dog guarding the door.

The housekeeper couldn't stand it anymore when he went in and out, and he wanted to ask Imperial Doctor Gao to help Hou Ye also diagnose the pulse and prescribe some medicine to replenish his brain, and the holy decree of rewarding Su Li for his merits had arrived.

The herald officer entered the door and said that the holy decree was announced to the third lady of the Su family, but Chu Huai'an shouted at the entire Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and he almost didn't invite his old lady Chu Liu out of the Buddhist hall.

Su Li was still sick and her body was quite weak, and the herald did not force Su Li to kneel down and listen to the decree, and unfolded the decree and read it aloud.

"Su's Ah Li, courage, outstanding strategy, in the case of An's rebellion, found important evidence of the crime, courage is commendable, now canonized as the lord of Hengyang County, give a mansion, 100 acres of fertile land, Qin this!!"

The content of the holy decree was not much, and the last last note of the proclamator fell, and Su Li leaned over and saluted to thank him: "The people's daughter, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

"Miss Su is the first female county lord of our Yuanzhao Kingdom, and she will be a strange woman in the history books in the future!" The proclamator smiled and praised, rolled up the holy decree and handed it to Su Li, and when Su Li took it and was about to leave, he was pulled aside by Chu Huai'an with the back collar: "That's all for the holy decree?" Gone? ”

“……”

The corner of the proclamator's eyes twitched when he was asked, Master Hou, what do you mean? The Holy Decree is such a thing, do we as slaves dare to leak it and forget it or dare to eat it?

After some slander, the proclamator still replied with a smile on his face: "Master Hou, Your Majesty will ...... That's all I have to say. ”

"Your Majesty didn't mention anything about General Lu?" Chu Huai'an induced and stuffed a big ingot into the hands of the proclamator, who was burned by the ingot, and had to reveal a little gossip: "Master Hou, General Lu has committed too many things, even if Your Majesty wants to make a show, he can't release him for a while, but don't worry, the general's food, clothing, housing and transportation in prison will be arranged!" ”

Chu Huai'an: "......"

Who told you that your grandfather cares about his food, clothing, housing and transportation? There's nothing wrong with your brain!

Chu Huai'an glanced at Su Li thoughtfully, slapped the back of the proclamator's head and let the person go, the proclamator rubbed his head and wanted to leave, remembered something and turned his head to look at Su Li and said: "Su Shangshu will be escorted to exile tomorrow, Your Majesty said that Shangshu's Mansion has been vacated anyway, it is better to directly change the plaque to be the county lord's mansion, and the girl and the little master are also used to living!" ”

Directly using Shangshu Mansion as the county lord's mansion, this face is really too much!

I don't know if I want to give Su Li a long momentum, or if I deliberately want to make Su Liangxing, the country's abbot, look gloomy.

"Your Majesty has a heart, and the people are grateful!" Su Li saluted again, and then sent the proclamator away.

Su Li still lived in the Hou Mansion, and now the people in the Hou Mansion knew that she had won the reward and became the county lord, and they all followed to congratulate and congratulate, and the small courtyard was full of people for a while.

"If you want to receive the reward, go to the housekeeper, don't make a noise here!" Chu Huai'an deliberately opened his mouth with a calm face, and everyone hurriedly ran to the housekeeper to ask for a reward, and when everyone left, Chu Huai'an put his hands on his chest and stared at Su Li intently.

"What is Hou Ye looking at me like this?" Su Li put away the holy decree and asked suspiciously, Chu Huai'an touched the tip of his nose uncomfortably, and muttered in a low voice: "You didn't accept Your Majesty's marriage?" ”

That night, Chu Lingzhao gave a proposal to give marriage, Su Li and Chu Huai'an were stunned, Su Li did not answer immediately, Chu Lingzhao drove Chu Huai'an out of the imperial study on the grounds that his daughter's family was embarrassed and embarrassed.

He scratched his heart and liver in the imperial study for a long time, and he had no way of finding out what Su Li and Chu Lingzhao had talked about.

In the past few days, he has been squatting in Su Li's courtyard, not only concerned about Su Li's condition, but also concerned about when the holy decree will come to the palace and whether he will really give marriage.

After all, Lu Ji is still wearing a guilty body, and if he really wants to give marriage, he should wait for this turmoil to completely subside.

"Well, I didn't." Su Li nodded, with a frank face, the corners of Chu Huai'an's lips couldn't help but rise, but halfway through the Yang, he heard Su Li say: "Although I am happy with the general, I still need to have the reserve of my daughter's family, although the marriage of the royal gift sounds beautiful, but it is not as enviable as he personally carrying the dowry to the county lord's mansion to ask for marriage, isn't it?" ”

Chu Huai'an: "......"

He is now in prison, he can't even get out of Dali Temple, and he can still carry the dowry to the county lord's mansion? Think beautifully!

Chu Huai'an was depressed, and was about to rush out of the yard with a glance at Su Li, but he was hit by a small lump of meat, and the next moment, the villain of the little lump sued first: "Ouch, it hurts me to death!" ”

Bowing his head, the little meat ball in a gray brocade robe exaggeratedly covered his head and shouted: "Mother, help, Master Hou is going to beat me!" ”

Chu Huai'an: "......"

Stinky boy, how do you know that you heard that the master was going to beat you?

Chu Huai'an twisted his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to pick up the person and teach him a lesson, the little meat ball had already rushed into the room with a flexible body, and the two people behind the little meat group bowed their hands: "Hou Ye, the little young master is still young, and he accidentally collided with Hou Ye, please don't meet him in general." ”

The two of them were wearing ordinary cotton and linen robes, with swords pinned to their waists, and the hilt of the sword was low-key engraved with the word 'Lu', which was clearly the people under Lu Guogong.

The depression in Xiaoyaohou's heart soared at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

It's too much! This hasn't been married yet, and your Guogong Mansion has come to my Xiaoyao Mansion to rob people!

The very angry Xiaoyao Hou gritted his teeth, turned around and went back to the house, the small meat ball in the house was picked up by Su Li, and he was very surprised to see him come back: "Is there anything else wrong with Master Hou?" ”

"Nope!"

Chu Huai'an said confidently, reached out and poured himself a cup of tea and drank the fire, and after drinking, one big and one small kept the posture just now and looked at him.

Chu Huai'an was furious: "What's wrong?" Can't you sit here for a while if you're fine? ”

Su Li: "......"

"Mother, Master Hou has a good temper, I've worked hard for you this time." Su Zhan held Su Li's face and said distressedly, the little fat hand rubbed Su Li's cheek, Chu Huai'an's face darkened, and he listened to his tone rise: "But now it's okay, my mother can live with me, I came to pick up my mother and go home today." ”

"Home? Are you here to go? ”

Chu Huai'an sneered, his chest was about to be blown up with anger, Su Zhan hugged Su Li's neck, looking innocent: "Then what does the Hou Ye want my mother?" Do you pay for food and lodging or give you something as a thank you? ”

“……”

Xiaoyaohou, who has always been scared of heaven and earth, inexplicably feels that he has been stabbed twice by a five or six-year-old child, and he seems to be the kind of person who is so short of money that he will ask others for food and lodging?

"Didn't Su Shangshu leave tomorrow? Where will I have a place to stay today? ”

"Uncle Zhao has already asked people to escort them to the post station today, and they will leave tomorrow, I am the only one who lives tonight, without my mother to accompany me, I am afraid!"

After Su Zhan finished speaking, he hugged Su Li tightly, buried his head in Su Li's neck socket, and pretended to be extremely scared.

The corners of Chu Huai'an's eyes jumped, his face was tense, his lips pursed, and he didn't say anything more.

"Thank you Hou Ye for taking care of me these days, I'll take Ah Zhan to see Mrs. in a while and go back first." Su Li hugged Su Zhan and said sincerely.

The gratitude in the words is real, and so is the detachment and politeness.

Chu Huai'an's heart was sour and rising, he looked at Su Li and then at Su Zhan, and only held back one sentence for a long time: "I asked people to prepare the carriage ......"

"I'm here in a carriage, and I'll let my mother go back with me in a while." Su Zhan preemptively interrupted Chu Huai'an's words, and then blocked his unspoken words in his throat: "The city has been unquiet these days, and I specially asked Grandpa Lu to borrow two people to protect me and my mother, Master Hou, you can rest assured!" ”

Chu Huai'an: "......"

Hehe, I'm relieved to die! You little clever ghost, all your clever energy is used here!

Seeing that he was speechless, Su Zhanhuan happily came out of Su Li's arms, dragged the hem of Chu Huai'an's clothes and walked out: "Master Hou and I will go out and wait, my mother is going to change clothes and go home with me." ”

One big and one small went out, and intimately brought the door to Su Li, Su Li was amused, but she didn't know that after the door was closed, one big and one small immediately stared at each other nervously, and fought with each other.

The two people who were sent to protect Su Zhan looked at the corners of their lips, it seems that Lord Guogong is right, Master Hou and the little young master do not seem to be in agreement.

Su Li quickly changed into a spring dress and went out, the clothes were made by Chu Liu's before the size of the garment shop, and then many things happened, the list of the garment shop was not returned, and the clothes were also delivered.

The clothes are begonia color, look at the festive, the above is embroidered with large begonia flowers, the placket, cuffs, skirt have silver wire bottom embroidered with dark lines, there seems to be a flower stamen blooming between walking, with morning dew, refracting the fine light, very beautiful.

Before, Chu Liu's family still had the intention of making Chu Huai'an and Su Li a concubine, so this dress was also made with a little more thought, Su Li felt surprised when she put it on, pushed the door open and came out, and her eyes flashed with amazement.

The clothes are quite gorgeous, she is not powdered, her lips are slightly white, and the bright color is pressed, which is appropriate, pretty, eye-catching, and even the small scar on her face can almost be ignored.

"Mother, you dress so beautifully like this!" Su Zhan said and jumped up and jumped in front of Su Li like a rabbit.

When she was at the border, Su Lidu was the same as the soldiers in the army, wearing coarse linen clothes, tying her hair with a headscarf, coming from the wind and rain, often making herself disgraced, Su Zhan never had a chance to see how beautiful she was dressed up.

Chu Huai'an stood still and didn't move, he squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Su Li, his eyes measured inch by inch, from head to toe, recalling the feeling of the first few intimate encounters in his mind.

My throat was tense and a little dry.

Su Li bent down and touched Su Zhan's head, and patiently explained: "The clothes were made by Mrs. Zhaoling, the mother of the Hou Ye, and Ah Zhan went with me to thank her, okay?" ”

"Hmm!"

Su Zhan nodded, and Su Li took another cloak from the house and prepared to put it on.

She had a wound on her face, and she didn't have the courage to walk down the street like this.

Bowing his head and tying the cloak strap, Su Li pulled Su Zhan out of the door, and when he passed by, Chu Huaian suddenly raised his hand and pulled down her cloak and hat, Su Li turned back suspiciously, and he said very solemnly: "You don't have to cover it up, that's it!" ”

You don't have to hide the scars on your face, because even then, she is good-looking.

This sentence was rarely recognized by Su Zhan, and he shook Su Li's hand eagerly: "Mother really doesn't have to hide it, in Ah Zhan's eyes, Mother is the best-looking, if anyone says you are not good-looking, I will help you teach him a lesson!" ”

Su Zhan secretly reconciled with Chu Huai, who was one step behind at this time, and was very unwilling, holding back his strength to express his desire to defend.

"Okay."

Su Li really didn't wear a hat anymore, and led Su Zhan to thank Chu Liu.

I haven't seen it for a long time, and the courtyard of the Chu Liu clan seems very deserted for some reason, and Su Li waited for the Chu Liu clan to finish chanting before taking Su Zhan in.

Chu Liu also heard about Su Li's appointment as the county lord, and when he looked at Su Li again, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and saw that Su Zhan was extremely cute and likable, so he regretted what happened five years ago.

How could she have thought of having someone sell Su Li into Goolan Courtyard that night?!

"After returning to Beijing for a few days, thanks to Mrs. Fu's care, now that Your Majesty has rewarded the mansion, it is inconvenient to bother too much in the Hou Mansion, and Arit has come to resign."

"Thank you Madame for taking care of my mother, and Ah Zhan also thank Madame!" Su Zhan learned from Su Li's appearance and saluted to Chu Liu's family.

I have been looking forward to my grandson for many years, and now I see such a soft and glutinous little ball, Chu Liu's family is full of joy, if this is her grandson, I am afraid that she would have been hugged into her arms and called one by one.

What a beautiful girl Ah Li is.

What a smart kid this kid is.

Chu Liu's eyes were hot, and he wiped his tears with a silk handkerchief: "Ah Li's move today really made me ashamed, I was ...... back then." I'm really confused! ”

Chu Liu choked up, but those mistakes had already been made, and no matter how much she regretted it, she couldn't get it back.

"Those old things are long gone, I won't take them to heart, and Madame doesn't have to be so concerned." Su Li was relieved, and seemed to be relieved of those things between her words, and Chu Liu was so choked that she couldn't speak, so she could only nod.

Su Li didn't feel too moved, and pulled Su Zhan to get up: "It's not early, I and Ah Zhan will go first." ”

Chu Liu didn't have the face to stay, so he beckoned Mama to Su Zhan and took two silver bracelets as gifts, and sent the two out of the Hou Mansion.

Su Fu's carriage really stopped at the door, Su Zhan happily pulled Su Li into the carriage, and the carriage swayed towards Shangshu Mansion.

Halfway through the carriage, there was a cry outside, Su Li lifted the carriage curtain, and saw Zhao Hanzhuo and the officers and soldiers surrounding Jingzhao Yin's mansion and was raiding the house, Wei was crazy and scattered at the door, and kept scolding Zhao Hanzhuo in his mouth, every sentence was more and more ugly.

"Stop!"

Su Li spoke, took Su Zhan down from the carriage, and after breaking through the crowd and walked in, he handed Su Zhan over to the two people who protected him.

“…… The surname Zhao, you are a wolf-hearted dog, you can't die well, and if you die, you will go to eighteen layers of hell! It is put in the oil pan! Wei scolded happily, the officers and soldiers who raided the house were not affected in the slightest, and Zhao Hanzhuo sat on the horse with a cold face, as if he didn't hear what she was saying.

"Mrs. Zhang, why haven't you seen you for a few days, and you have become such a shrew?" Su Li opened her mouth faintly, as soon as these words came out, Wei Shi froze as if she had been clicked, and then looked at Su Li with wide eyes, and after a while, her face became hideous, screaming and pounced on Su Li.

"Slut! What about my son? Where did you hide my son? ”

The onlookers let out an exclamation, and all those who were close to Su Li took a few steps back, for fear of being injured by the Wei family.

Su Li didn't move at all, and when Wei Shi pounced in front of her, he raised his foot and kicked her in the chest.

That kick Su Li didn't spare any strength, Wei Shi was kicked to the ground, he didn't get up for a long time, and the abuse in his mouth stopped, turning into a painful wail.

Su Li looked at her condescendingly, her eyes were cold and cold, like looking at a dead person.

Listening to what she just said, it seems that she doesn't know the news that Zhang Ling is dead, and she has never tasted the taste of losing her loved ones.

She didn't know, so Su Li kindly let her know.

"How could Madame think that I was hiding Ling Ying? After Mrs. and Miss Zhang made trouble one after another, my second sister was kidnapped by gangsters, I was worried that her safety was too late, how could I still have the heart to control Ling Lang's life and death? Mrs. Fei knows what Ling Xun has to do with my second sister's disappearance? ”

Su Li asked with a smile, Wei was speechless, panic flashed in his eyes, and he thought that his house had been raided, and all the things that Zhang Ling and An Wuwu did together had been exposed, and there was nothing to hide, so he jumped up and grabbed Su Li's legs.

"It's you! You must have hurt me! You hate my son for kidnapping that slut and blackmailing you with that slut, so you killed my son!! ”

Wei Shi screamed, tears welled up in her eyes, Zhang Ling is her heart, eyeballs, if someone hurts her, it is poking her heart and gouging out her eyes.

"Madame is right, that's the case, he threatened me with a knife on my second sister's neck, I first asked someone to abolish his right hand, so that he couldn't hold the knife, but he didn't give up, he wanted to kill my second sister, and finally was pierced through the head by an arrow!"

Su Li recounted the scene of Zhang Ling's death, Wei's eyes widened, opened his mouth, and wanted to scold, but he was frightened by the coldness in Su Li's eyes, Su Li squatted down in front of her, and said softly: "It's a pity that Madame didn't see it with her own eyes that day, when the tail of the arrow was shot, it was white, and it was stained with brains......"

"Ahhh Slut! You lie! My son is not dead! My son can't die! ”

Wei Shi retreated like crazy, covering his ears and refusing to listen to Su Li anymore, Su Li smiled even more happily: "Yes, I lied to Mrs., Ling Xun is not dead, I picked my hands and feet and threw him in a cave, and I live by eating some insects and ants every day, what do you mean by living like this?" Why didn't he just die? ”

"Su Li! Slut! My son is an official of the imperial court, how dare you do this to him? After Wei finished yelling, he crawled towards Zhao Hanzhuo again: "Lord Zhao, this slut is talking nonsense here, Lord Zhao, don't you care?" She hurt my son, you should arrest her! ”

Wei's speech was reversed, Zhao Hanzhuo frowned and glanced at Su Li, turned his head to look at her, and said calmly: "Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Ling is dead, the body is parked in the autopsy room of Dali Temple, if you want to see it, you can still see the previous side, but his body is rotten, not only stench, but also maggots wriggling......"

Before Zhao Hanzhuo finished speaking, Wei Shi had already rolled his eyes and passed out.

Without Wei's noise, the surroundings immediately quieted down, and Su Li bowed to Zhao Hanzhuo: "Lord Xie Zhao is righteous!" ”

Zhao Hanzhuo: "......"
