Chapter 25: The Lady of the Owner, Who Cannot Speak
Usually this kind of thing is very appetizing if you ask for instructions first, but don't ask directly.
However, seeing Xu Sa's twisted appearance, Fu Rushen not only guessed what she was going to ask, but even had an urge to shut her up.
But people just keep their mouths shut, Xu Sa saw that he didn't answer, so he honestly continued to ask: "I, except to be your shield, I shouldn't have to do anything else, right?" β
"Shield?" Fu Rushen raised his eyebrows.
"Isn't it?" Xu Sa further expressed his thoughts: "I see that you usually use me as an excuse to deal with those things that are difficult to deal with on weekdays. β
"You can see it." Fu Rushen withdrew his hand and said, "Behave well." β
Xu Sapi nodded at him with a smile, and his heart speed finally stabilized.
Regarding the so-called "other things", although she didn't ask it directly, I believe that her expression is already very revealing, and there is no reason why Master Fu Zhuang can't see it.
And the owner of Fu Zhuang chose to turn a blind eye, which proves that she is not too late to be lost...... Then she can be a shield with peace of mind, although it is overkill, but it is better to have low risk and high reward.
Holding his chin and sighing, Xu Sa lowered his eyes, upholding the principle of "the owner is happy and quiet", and did not say anything more.
Xichun Port is not as developed as Longye, and it is difficult to get a suitable ship, so on the way back, Fu Rushen chose to take a passenger ship.
The passenger ship is very large, and there are many passengers, but there are few people like Fu Rushen with more than a dozen subordinates. Probably because the battle was too big, some people recognized Fu Rushen, and saluted with a smile on his face: "Master Fu Zhuang has been looking up for a long time, is this coming back with Mrs. Zun's return to Ning?" β
"Hmm." Fu Rushen nodded at the man, turned his head and said, "Sasa, it's windy outside, you go back to the cabin first." β
The tone is called a gentle and considerate.
Xu Sa was angry outside for a while, and he didn't want to go back. Hearing Fu Rushen call her that, she had to nod her head and go back to the cabin.
When my father and mother were there, I also liked to call her Sasa, saying that the day she was born, it was originally a sunny and cloudless weather, but after she was born, for some reason, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the sky, blowing the leaves in the courtyard to a rustling sound, pleasant and pleasant.
She used to be called that, and she was happy. It's called that now...... Okay, the owner is going to use her as a shield again.
"Master, are you back so soon?"
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Xinyu's surprised voice, Xu Sa shrugged his shoulders and pointed behind him helplessly.
Outside, Fu Rushen could be vaguely heard discussing something with the person just now.
"Hey, it seems that it is not necessarily good to be the wife of the owner, everything must be arranged according to the arrangement." Xinyu sighed for her.
In the past, Xu Sa had to go out, and he wouldn't come back if he didn't stay outside for an hour.
Xu Sa watched Xinyu make her bed, took a sullen sip of tea, and understood in her heart that as long as she got married, whether the other party was a farmer or an ordinary person, women had to listen to men.
Fortunately, she doesn't plan to marry in the future.
"Ahh
"Master, do you call a slave?"
Xu Sa nodded, beckoned Xinyu to his side, and gestured to let her decoct the medicine for herself.
There are still the last two pairs of medicine prescribed by the doctor, and he left too hurriedly in the morning, Xu Sa didn't drink it, and the ship opened at this time, and if he didn't drink it, he would have to wait until noon.
Xinyu suddenly patted her head, picked up the medicine bag and went out.
Xu Sa walked to the door softly, dropped the latch, and then opened the note that the county lord of Xichun had stuffed into her in the morning.
In a moment, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Sa went over to open the door, and Fu Rushen stood outside and asked, "Why is it locked?" β
Her room, can't she lock the door yet? Xu Sa muttered in his heart, and took a step back to make way for her.
Fu Rushen walked into the house slowly, as if he heard what she was thinking, and said, "When I'm outside, you don't want to lock it, I'll live in the same room with you tonight." β
"Huh?"
"Surprised?"
It's already scary, okay!?
Xu Sa grabbed his hand and pulled for a while: "Why?" β
Fu Ru took a deep breath and sat at the table with his eyebrows rubbed.
"In addition to what you just met, there is also an arms dealer on the ship who has just returned to Longye, and he has just met with me."
Xu Sa poured him a cup of tea and sat down opposite him.
"......" Fu Rushen pinched the teacup and glanced up at her, his expression seemed to be waiting for something, and then he suddenly realized that he couldn't wait.
Xu Sa thought of it instantly, and usually at this time, the listener will ask the confidant, "And then?" "Well, he could go on.
She couldn't say anything, Xu Sa could only hold her chin and make the appearance of listening to the story, giving him a curious expression by the way: "Huh? β
"......" pursed his lips, and Fu Rushen sighed softly.
"He has a daughter who is old enough to marry, but has not yet left the cabinet."
"Oh." Xu Sa blinked and motioned to him with his eyes, "And then?" β
"Longxing Villa can do any business, except that I don't deal with the weapons dealer, so I need to avoid him." Fu Rushen said, "In previous years, it was not easy to say or refuse, but this year, with you, it will be much simpler." β
So? Xu Sa nodded, and couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up.
Fu Rushen thought that she would sarcastically mock him with two sentences such as "thinking too much" and "taking herself too seriously", but she didn't expect Xu Sa to be proud there......
Inexplicably, a strange idea arose in his heart.
I want to hear what her voice looks like when she is normal, and I wonder if she will call him by his full name or "Master Fu".
Then he was taken aback by this sudden expectation, Fu Rushen raised his eyebrows, and found that his thoughts were both hurtful and excessive, and really inexplicable - he was curious about what this was for?
"I'll go out and arrange the guards first." Fu Rushen stood up decisively and pushed the door out.
I had been peeking at him curiously for a while, and seeing that his expression was tangled and I couldn't guess why, Xu Sa scratched his head and sighed and lay on the table.
If it weren't for reading the note given to her by the county lord of Xichun, she would have felt that Fu Rushen was exaggerating just now.
If you have a girl in the boudoir, you have to be given it to you?
However, the content of the note told her some news that she was not curious about.
Longxing Villa is a piece of fat, very fat, stared at by countless pairs of eyes. The crown prince and the four princes repeatedly showed favor to him, which made the emperor unbearable, so he stuffed the daughter of the Marquis of Xichun to the owner of Fu Zhuang without a daughter, for fear that he would be knocked off the throne in the prime of life.
At present, Longxing Mountain Villa seems to have infinite scenery, but in fact, it is difficult, and you must be careful with every step...... If it has something to do with the arms dealer, it can die in a few minutes.
It is precisely because of this situation that the county lord of Xichun wrote a letter and made a special trip to tell her not to let people know that the "county lord of Xichun" and the owner of Fu Zhuang had a round room, and when the time came, she would retire as soon as possible.
Because she still has a marriage contract on her side, she will remarry again in the early spring of next year, marry to Linzai City far to the west, and win over the border generals over there.
However, for Xu Sa, it doesn't matter whether the county lord of Xichun has a marriage contract or not, and who she wants to marry.
The body has been lost, but it is impossible to lose it again, she is more anxious than anyone else to stay away from Fu Rushen and his little cousin, and she can't wait to close her eyes and open them, and there is a book of resignation in front of her.
"Xu Sa, wake up, it's here."
At the same time as the voice sounded, the body was shaken. Xu Sa opened his eyes in a daze, then his body shook, and he suddenly woke up.
She actually fell asleep in the carriage! I also dreamed that Fu Rushen personally handed her a three-foot-long letter of resignation, and she just wanted to take it!
"Wipe your saliva and get out of the car." Unabashedly disgusted, he stuffed a handkerchief to Xu Sa, and Fu Rushen said, "I'll wait for you outside." β
Xu Sa took the veil curtly, and said in his heart, how good would it be if it was a letter of resignation?
It's a pity that it's still early in January. She could only hurriedly tidy up her appearance and get out of the carriage with a graceful posture-
"Meet the owner's wife!"
As soon as his feet landed, he heard a neat voice that was louder than when he left the dart game.
This time, Fu Rushen was quick with his eyes and hands, and he held her waist as soon as he held it.
"Be careful." He whispered.
"Oh." Her voice was lower, resisting the urge to roll her eyes.
I got married before, because we both knew that we were going to end our in-laws as soon as we returned home, right? She stayed in her room almost the whole time, and she hadn't even seen a few people from Longxing Villa.
This time it was different, as if there were thousands of troops standing in front of her. Thousands of troops didn't know that she was almost not the owner's wife, and they were all overjoyed.
"Okay, big brother, sister-in-law looks really good!" The first young man who looked two years younger than her came up with a fan and bumped Fu Rushen's shoulder, "Now you are willing to show us?" β
Fu Rushen narrowed his eyes and asked the young man with a little anger: "I haven't been here for a few days, and you have a very chic life?" β
Han Ye picked up the fan and knocked on his head, and looked away with a weak smile: "What's the matter, I've been busy these days, but I've tired your third brother." β
Fu Rushen snorted, ignored him anymore, took Xu Sa a few steps forward, and bowed to a man who was somewhat similar to Han Ye's face: "Third uncle." β
Xu Sa was also busy saluting.
"Third uncle, this is Xu Sa." Fu Rushen introduced.
Xu Sa smiled slightly, her dignified posture was bright and charming, and there was also a faint heroic spirit hidden between her eyebrows.
"Xu Sa? It's a good name, my daughter is heroic, and you are a good match for the owner. After the third uncle finished speaking, he turned sideways and said, "Come on, come on, go back to the village and talk slowly." β
"Okay." Putting his hand on Xu Sa's waist again, holding it carefully, Fu Rushen lowered his head slightly and explained to Xu Sa as he walked forward, "The one holding the fan behind us is Han Ye, the owner of the three villages. Jiang Xunyi, the owner of the second village, went out to check the accounts, and it would take a while to come back. β
Xu Sa was looking behind curiously, and when she saw Han Ye smiling brightly at her, she shook her head and heard Fu Rushen say, "Of course, when he comes back, you will probably be gone." β
Slowly moving his gaze back, Xu Sa's expression stiffened slightly.
Thanks, please say that she has been dismissed, and the word is a little scary to be gone.
The crowd at the door had dispersed and gone their own way, leaving only a few who were still following Fu Rushen. Not long after walking inside, the soft "cousin" rushed into his ears again. Xu Sa took a breath, and as the voice looked over, Yun Xiangyi ran over with a plate of pastries with a smile.
"It's good to catch up, cousin, can you eat it while it's hot? I just made it. Yun Xiangyi's eyes were full of anticipation.
Xu Sa obviously felt that Fu Rushen paused, and the hand behind her back was also taken away.
"Let's take it into the hall first," Fu Rushen said, continuing to walk forward, "Why did you make pastries at this time?" β
"I heard Han Ye say that you and ......" The words were abrupt, and Yun Xiangyi looked at Xu Sa innocently.
Fu Rushen coughed lightly: "You, just call her cousin-in-law." β
"Oh...... Good. The smile was a little far-fetched, and Yun Xiangyi continued while walking with the plate, "Didn't Yiyi hear that you and your cousin-in-law will come back this time?" I was afraid that you were busy on the road and didn't eat, so I took the time to make some pastries. β
"You've got a heart." After Fu Rushen finished speaking, he pointed to a maid and said, "You take your wife back to the new house first." β
Xu Sa didn't think there was anything, and when he heard this, the third uncle was stunned: "Big Boss, don't you take your wife to the ancestral hall?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"The third uncle knows that you don't want to go, but marrying a wife is a big deal after all."
ββ¦β¦β
His gaze was much colder than Fang Cai's, Fu Rushen sighed, looked at Xu Sa and said, "Come with me." β
Xu Sa was ready to go back to the room, he was stunned, and he had to follow Fu Rushen to another place.
Behind him, Yun Xiangyi was still admonishing: "Remember to come back and eat snacks!" β
Fu Rushen didn't respond, just walked forward with extremely fast steps.
Xu Sa's ankle was much better after applying the medicine, but the injury on the front body was not yet good, and it was a little difficult to follow, and finally arrived at the door of the ancestral hall, and before she could take a breath, Fu Rushen "snapped" and pushed the door open.
"You can go in, just think about it."
"Ah......" Xu Sa was stunned, didn't he go in?
Seeing her doubts, Fu Rushen said with an ugly face: "I don't want to go in." β
The corners of his mouth twitched, Xu Sa suspected that there was no mechanism in it, right?
I had to step into the threshold and face the two rows of spiritual seats on the tribute platform...... Xu Sa silently moved his mouth: "The ancestors of Longxing Villa...... I'm not your daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, I am, I just came in, you adults are numerous, open your eyes...... No, if you close your eyes, you don't see me. β
She was silently chattering quickly, Fu Rushen stood behind her, and didn't see what she said. When Xu Sa came out, Fu Rushen also asked her, "What did you say?" β
Xu Sa shrugged his shoulders.
Don't ask, I didn't even ask why you didn't go in.
Fu Rushen seemed to be really in a bad mood, so he didn't ask any more, and casually pointed to a maid to take Xu Sa back to the room.
And said, "I'll come back later." β
You'll be fine if you don't come...... Xu Sa finally released the white eyes that he had endured all the way.
The new house has been cleaned up. All the happy characters have been removed, and the bed curtains and bedding have been replaced with elegant colors, which is comfortable to look at. Xinyu came back earlier than her, and she had already shaken off her burden on the bed. Seeing that she closed the door, she immediately said angrily: "Master, what Miss Yun did just now was really ...... There is no you in sight! β
Xu Sa smiled unmindfully, but she didn't tell Xinyu that Master Fu had explained that her status in this villa was not as good as Yun Xiangyi's.
She is not opposed to the white moonlight in other people's hearts, and it is the right solution to live the rest of the days with peace of mind.
"Don't talk about this, get down to business!" Xu Sa's eyes lit up and grabbed Xinyu, and began to write on the table, "Let's choose a day instead of hitting the day, let's pick a time to go to prison today and tomorrow!" β
If it weren't for saving people, she wouldn't have been dragged into these troubles. Xu Sa has always remembered the matter of saving people.
Ke Xinyu looked at the words on the table, and then at Xu Sa, but there was worry written in her eyes: "Master, ......"
"Huh?"
Xinyu scratched her head.
"Actually, the slave has been thinking about one thing......"
Tell me something straight. Xu Sa sat on the stool and raised his chin towards Xinyu.
Xinyu hesitated for a while, looked around, and then asked in a low voice: "You don't like the big owner, right?" β
"Uh-huh." Xu Sa nodded without hesitation, how could she like someone who has a sweetheart?
What's more, a person who not only has a sweetheart, but can also ask if she wants to splash cold water when she is beaten dozens of rattans and faints to the ground and is dying.
Seeing that she answered decisively, Xinyu opened her mouth slightly and struggled for a while, as if it was more difficult to speak this time.
After a long time, she asked, "Then do you like Yuankun?" β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
Xu Sa was stunned.
"Hey, this ......"
Xinyu also felt a little embarrassed to speak, but her concern for Xu Sa prevailed in the end.
"Actually, the slave has always been puzzled, you and Yuan Kun have only known each other for a year, although it is a master-apprentice relationship, he has almost never recognized you. For the sake of such a person, you dug out your heart and lungs, and did not hesitate to sell yourself, why? Is it because you like it? β
ββ¦β¦β
Xu Sa opened her mouth, and it took a long time before she breathed a sigh of relief, touched Xinyu's head, and signaled her not to think about it.
"Yuan Kun called the governor in order to rescue Sister Ruyi, and Sister Ruyi's family saved me and took me in.
"And, didn't I say that? My younger brother who died early is also called Yuan Kun. β
Seeing that the beating light in Xu Sa's eyes dimmed, Xinyu squatted at Xu Sa's feet in embarrassment, grabbed Xu Sa's legs with both hands and said, "Master, don't be sad, the slave maid just can't figure it out for a while...... The slave has figured it out now! I see! β
This silly girl...... Xu Sa smiled slightly, and his conscience became uneasy.
Although saving people is originally a hot thing in the brain, there is no time to think about it so much, once it is decided and it goes on, it is not good to turn back, otherwise the previous efforts will not be in vain.
Suddenly, a figure was reflected outside the door. Xu Sa was startled, and quickly took out a handkerchief and dipped it in water to wipe the table.
Fu Rushen pushed open the door and saw her movements, and an incomprehensible expression instantly appeared on his face.
"Are you wiping the table with the handkerchief I gave you?"
Xu was stunned, only to find that the gray brocade handkerchief she was holding in her hand was the one that Fu Rushen stuffed into her on the carriage.
"Ahem......" embarrassedly threw the handkerchief on the table, and Xu Sa stood up.
Staring at the handkerchief on the table and frowning, Fu Ru said in a deep voice: "Today we are going to have a meal with the third uncle, father and son, as well as Yiyi, by the way, this courtyard should also hang a plaque, what do you want to go up?" β
Do you want to hang a plaque? So formal? Xu Sa thought about it and wrote three words seriously in his hand: Listen to the Wind Pavilion.
"Yes." After Fu Rushen finished speaking, he said, "Don't forget what I told you." β
Xu Sa nodded and added: "Don't worry, I will be careful to be the owner's wife, and I will not compete with your Bai Yueguang, keep in mind that I am a flat wife!" β
ββ¦β¦ That's good. β
After glancing at the handkerchief on the table, Fu Rushen frowned: "What is lacking in food and clothing, you can tell Yiyi directly." β
Xu Sa bowed his head obediently, and when Fu Rushen left, he turned his head and instructed Xinyu to prepare everything and take care of himself.
When he arrived at Shen, Xu Sa was taken to the dining room of Longhang Villa and had dinner with several villa stewards.
She was curious about who this table full of vegetarian dishes was accommodating, and Han Ye asked first: "Why doesn't my sister-in-law speak?" β
The third uncle also asked: "Isn't the owner's wife afraid of life?" β
Xu Sa glanced at Fu Rushen in surprise.
Since he wrote back in advance, why didn't he explain her situation?
Following her gaze, everyone looked at Fu Rushen. Fu Rushen coughed lightly, and was about to speak, but heard Yun Xiangyi hesitantly ask, "Third uncle, ...... Don't know yet? β
"Don't know what?" Han Ye leaned out and asked with soup.
Without waiting for Yun Xiangyi to speak again, Fu Rushen said: "I can't speak." β
With a thud, Han Ye's spoon fell back into the soup bowl.
The third uncle's eyes also widened in shock.
After all, Xu Sa smiled slightly, nodded at them, and pinched the bowl with his fingers to increase his strength.
secretly thought that this time was better than the time when Fu Rushen was drunk and didn't leave her room at all.
Although she couldn't speak, she could hear the voice. This is not a big deal, and you should not be surprised. After Fu Rushen finished speaking, he glanced at Han Ye intriguingly.
"Hey......" Han Ye paused, smiled, scooped up the spoon and continued to serve the soup, "It's really not a big deal, anyway, big brother, you are very quiet, so look at how much you and sister-in-law match!" β
"Shut up and drink the soup." Fu Ru threatened in a deep voice.
Han Ye shrank back with a smile and drank the soup in a snort.
In the end, he lost his appetite, Xu Sa only ate a few bites of food, and then felt that he couldn't eat it. With Yun Xiangyi here, she didn't need to clip the dishes, and in the second half she was quietly listening to Fu Rushen and others talking about the internal affairs of Longxing Villa, and Yun Xiangyi occasionally interjected.
She's like an outsider.
This thought suddenly popped up in his mind, Xu Sa was slightly stunned, and then pursed his lips and smiled.
She's an outsider.
"Eat so little, won't you be hungry?" At the end, Fu Rushen asked.
Xu Saxin said that of course he would be hungry, so he took Xinyu and negotiated with Fu Rushen.
"Get out? You can also. There is a maid in the village who specializes in guiding the way, and you can choose at will. β
Fu Rushen said after learning that Xu Sa wanted to go out.
Xu Sa quietly poked Xinyu's waist twice, and Xinyu hurriedly shook his head: "No, my master is not used to being monitored, and the slave and the master will write down the way." β
"You two powerless women, something happened, how can I explain to the Hou Mansion?" Fu Rushen twisted his eyebrows, "The maids in the villa know some martial arts, and they can protect you from escaping at critical moments." β
Xu Sa blinked, hesitantly holding his chin and thinking about it.
Fu Rushen didn't know that she knew martial arts, and she didn't know that she was not the daughter of the Marquis of Xichun raised in the countryside, but an authentic Eastern Chu person who had lived in Chu for more than ten years.
She couldn't tell him any of these things.
Tut...... Anyway, she didn't need to please him, Xu Sa stretched her eyebrows and poked Xinyu twice.
"Lord......" Xinyu said stiffly, "The master thinks there is no need to trouble you, she will pay attention to herself." β
Fu Rushen was speechless for a long time, and looked at Xu Sa unhappily: "Why didn't you tell me in person?" β
This time, the answer was simple, and Xinyu hurriedly followed Xu Sa's explanation: "This is outside, my master is afraid that Miss Yun will see you and be close to her, and she has to take care of Miss Yun's feelings." β
ββ¦β¦β
Are their masters and servants planned? It's a set of copies.
I don't know why, Fu Rushen wanted to laugh angrily: "Let it be." β
Xu Sa actively agreed, pulled Xinyu and left.
If he wanted to tell them not to go too far and come back early, he was blocked in his throat, Fu Rushen narrowed his eyes slightly, and watched the master and servant go farther and farther.
Seeing this, Heng Yuan asked, "Master, do you want to send someone to follow?" β
"Send one."
"Yes."
Fu Ru took a deep breath, turned around and saw Yun Xiangyi standing behind him.
Table ...... Sister-in-law, she's out? Yun Xiangyi asked curiously.
"Hmm." Fu Rushen answered, and asked, "Why are you here?" β
Yun Xiangyi smiled: "Cousin, you have been out for so long, and there are only a few letters sent back, I want to ask you more things, so I can cooperate with you to send the county lord away......"
After a pause, she bit her lip: "Cousin is going to sort out the account books later, right?" Do you want me to give you ink? β
Fu Rushen wanted to refuse, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Xu Sa's "considerate and distant" approach appeared in his head.
She's so sensible, and he has to do something about it. When the words came to his lips, Fu Ru pursed his lips deeply: "It's okay, about the question of the county lord's going to stay, I should also talk to Han Ye, lest he hide things from me in the future." β
Yun Xiangyi responded with a smile.
On the other end, after Xu Sa pulled Xinyu out of the gate, the two of them picked up a kind-faced passer-by and directly asked where the neighborhood was the most lively.
In the past seven years since he left, Long Ye has changed, and Xu Sa has naturally changed. From the green cardamom to the double decade, she walked into a restaurant that could hardly last for seven years, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw her, and just smiled and asked, "How many distinguished guests?" β
But he no longer recognized that the woman in front of him had been at the most depressed time, and would pick up the leftovers from his alms at the door of his restaurant every day to eat.
"Master."
was summoned back to his senses by Xinyu, and Xu Sa cast questions.
Xinyu's face was inexplicable: "What are you laughing at?" β
Looking at it, Xu Sao shook his head.
When the Xu family was wiped out, she was wandering outside for a year before she was adopted by Sister Ruyi's father. When she took in Xinyu for another three years, her life was much better than it was at the beginning, where would Xinyu know her sigh?
She just sighed that this shopkeeper has always been a kind-hearted person, and it is really a beautiful thing to be able to make the previous small restaurant to its current scale.
However, what made her feel strange was that in this restaurant, all the meat dishes were off the shelves, and there were only vegetarian dishes, as if the entire Chu land believed in Buddhism. Xinyu went to ask for her, but the shopkeeper only smiled perfunctorily and said, "Our vegetarian dishes taste first-class." β
"Master, you will eat it." Xinyu sighed, "I knew that the slave maid bought two more pieces of bacon that day." β
Xu Sa smiled helplessly, she is not a meat lover, anyway, without Fu Rushen and Yun Xiangyi, her appetite is much better.
After a while, Xu Sa stuffed the jade bracelet given to her by the county lord of Xichun into Xinyu's hand.
"Do you really want to take this thing away?" Xinyu Insurance asked.
Xu Sa waved his hand.
She checked it carefully, this jade bracelet is an ordinary bracelet with good condition, I think it was the lord of Xichun to reward, phew, bribing her, a thing out of sight and out of mind, isn't it good to take it as a buy something else.
Xinyu didn't hesitate any longer, she approached Xu Sa, and whispered in the noisy restaurant: "I will do it according to your plan in a while." β
After a while, Xu Sa covered his stomach and walked into the backyard.
Xinyu was still standing at the dinner table, and in front of her was the half bowl of rice that Xu Sa hadn't finished.
The entourage of Longxing Villa, who was quietly following them, didn't think much about it, still staring at the dinner tableβcompletely unaware that Xu Sa had quietly left the restaurant from the backyard.
By the time the entourage found out that Xinyu had gone to settle the account alone and inquired about the location of a nearby pawnshop, Xu Sa had already run to the mansion.
"Stop! Who? The palace guards saw that Xu Sa was about to enter, so they hurriedly stopped her.
Xu Sa pursed her lips and took out the jade plate that Xichun Hou gave her.
"You're here to find the Governor...... Lord of Xichun? The guard remembered what the steward of the Marquis of Xichun's Mansion had said about ten days earlier, when he had arrived with the governor.
Xu Sa nodded.
The matter of her pretending to be the lord of Xichun is extremely secret, except for Xinyu, the Marquis of Xichun, Fu Rushen Hengyuan's master and servant and the current saint, and then the only person left to know, only this governor remains.
However, this governor, like Fu Rushen's master and servant, didn't know that she not only pretended to be the county lord, but even the identity of the outer chamber of the Marquis of Xichun was fake.
So, after a while, although his expression was extremely reluctant, the governor who temporarily lived in the palace still received Xu Sa.
And read that she was the daughter of the Marquis of Xichun, and she was still holding a jade plate in her hand, and personally led her to the door of the prison: "The county lord should go and pick up people." β
got the key to the cell, Xu Sa didn't need to say it, he anxiously lifted his skirt and walked quickly to the prison.
Although it was a dungeon, the smell of decay in the cell was not light, mixed with blood and stench, and Rao is Xu Sa couldn't help frowning.
Along the way, many prisoners were babbling and holding out their hands to her. Xu Sa walked inside, and finally stopped outside a prison door: "Ah, ah! β
The man in the cell was sitting cross-legged on a wooden bed with his hair dishevelled and his eyes closed.
Hearing the voice, he frowned slightly and opened his eagle-sharp eyes.
Suffocated in his heart, Xu Sa grabbed the cell door with both hands and shook it vigorously.
"Ahh
"......" seemed to be recognized for a while before Gu Yuankun opened his chapped mouth, "You ......"
I really want to cut his head and cover his face, what are you, I came to save you for the teacher! Xu Sa hurriedly took the key and opened the cell door for him and threw himself into the cell.
With just a slight pause, Xu Sa stood in front of the bed, only stretched out one hand, and reached out with angry eyes to poke Gu Yuankun's forehead.
"Why are you here?" Gu Yuankun found out that it was really her, and immediately stood up, "Didn't you not use it!" β
If she doesn't come, can she wait for him to die of old age? Xu Sa bit his lip, pulled up his sleeve and walked out.
"Why can you take me?" Gu Yuankun asked behind her, "Why don't you speak, who are you, and ...... you?"
"Boom!"
After receiving a solid punch in his chest, Gu Yuankun was stunned.
Xu Sa's eyes were hot, he swallowed his saliva with the mist, and shook his head by pointing to his throat.
With his eyebrows jumping, Gu Yuankun grabbed her shoulder: "What's wrong with you?" β
After a pause, he immediately let go of his hand, and his handsome face tightened.
"You're hurt?"
It didn't hurt his throat. Xu Sa shook his head, pulled him to find a secluded place, squatted on the ground and scratched: "I've been a little poisoned, and I won't be able to speak for more than half a month." β
"Poison ......" had a more solemn expression, and Gu Yuankun asked coldly, "Is it to save me?" β
Xu Sa pursed his lips and stretched out his foot to wipe the words on the ground clean.
Gu Yuankun took a breath and asked angrily, "Are you a fool?" β
Who is a fool to say! Nothing big or small! Xu Sa puffed up and pinched Gu Yuankun's cheek.
This pinch, I felt that he had lost weight.
Thinking that the treatment in the cell would not be much better, Xu Sa tiptoed to pick up the weeds in the apprentice's hair, continued to pull his sleeve, and walked to another place.
"Where are we going?" Gu Yuankun asked behind him.
"Ahh Xu Sa replied to him with a word.
Gu Yuankun frowned: "You ......"
But he swallowed back all the cruel words that followed.
Xu Sa was purposeful, pulling Gu Yuankun all the way to identify the left and right turns, and did not stop until he stood in front of a small two-story building.
The small building looks like a shop, but the decoration is very old and dilapidated, and it seems that it has not been in operation for a long time.
"Where is this?" As soon as the words came out, Gu Yuankun recalled on his own, "Ruyi Building?" β
Xu Sa nodded, and on the way, she had already held back the emotions that wanted to cry. At this time, he bent the corners of his lips at Gu Yuankun, turned around and patted three times and twice on the closed door of the shop.
With a "squeak", the door opened, and a few wisps of dust fell.
The girl in the door saw Xu Sa, and her eyes lit up: "Sister Sa! β
Looking at Xu Sa's back again, she was even more surprised: "You rescued Brother Gu?" β
"Hmm." Xu Sa simply responded, and then was welcomed into the shop by the girl.
The door was closed by the maiden's kick twice, and a lot of dust was shaken down. In the dark shop, only candles were lit in the four corners, and a soft voice came from the second floor: "Jiu'er, have you opened the door?" β
"Sister Ruyi!" Jiu'er excitedly ran to the bottom of the stairs and said, "Sister Sa and Brother Gu are back!" β
This "come back" made Xu Sa's heart sour, but he couldn't help but laugh excitedly. Seeing a woman dressed in plain clothes walking up the stairs, Xu Sa couldn't bear to rush up and hug Jiu'er Ruyi.
She's still wounded.
"Sasa, Xiao Gu." Seeing the two of them standing at the door, Wei Ruyi also bent the corners of her mouth happily, but she immediately looked stunned, walked quickly to Xu Sa and asked with concern: "Sasa, what's wrong with you?" β
Knowing each other for thirteen years and getting along for seven years is really not a casual joke, Wei Ruyi saw at a glance that she was wrong, and Xu Sa instantly felt that his injuries were worth it.
"She's poisoned and can't speak for the time being." Without her reminding him, Gu Yuankun directly said the answer.
"Poisoned?" Wei Ruyi's face changed, "Is it serious?" β
Xu Sa shook her head easily, just like she was not poisoned.
Wei Ruyi sighed, took her hand and said, "Let's go upstairs and say, there is pen and ink upstairs." β
Xu Sa nodded and dragged the apprentice by the way.
Gu Yuankun followed with a cold face.
Wei Ruyi and Jiu'er are Xu Sa's old acquaintances, they survived the turmoil in Eastern Chu together, and they also suffered together for more than half a year from Chu to Changliao, and after they separated, they tried their best to contact with the letter.
It's been seven years, and finally reunited in Xichun, Xu Sa never thought that the pretty widow in front of her, who was twenty and five years old, would be taken by the governor on the street and wanted to kidnap her as a concubine.
When this matter was mentioned today, Wei Ruyi was still ashamed: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business, you know to mock me!" β
Xu Sa smiled, raised the pen, and recounted all the things he had experienced and was about to experience on the paper.
Naturally, she was spared the step of being injured and abused.
During this period, Gu Yuankun kept pursing his lips and sitting aside, staring at the table with his eyes: "I clearly said that I don't need you to save me." β
Rolling his eyes, Xu Sa wrote: "You still want to be locked up to death?" β
Gu Yuankun: "......"
Pouting, Xu Sa reminded him seriously: "I am your master, if something happens to you, I will definitely save you, so why bother with this." β
Gu Yuankun shook his head: "It's not that you are entangled, it's your own opinion!" β
"Oh, okay, okay, you two, how can you quarrel like this?" Jiu'er hurriedly interrupted them, "Let's all sit here properly!" β
Wei Ruyi also persuaded him: "It's getting dark, do you want to go back to Longxing Villa?" Let's get down to business sooner, so you might as well go back early. β
Xu Sa didn't venture out purely to save people and recognize her relatives, she nodded, and first took out a stack of silver tickets from her sleeve and put them on the table: "You can use these to rebuild Ruyi Building." β
"This ...... Why so many? Wei Ruyi and Jiu'er were surprised.
Xu Sa wrote calmly: "It is the hush money given by the Marquis of Xichun, it should be more than enough to repair the Ruyi Building, and the rest will be divided into two allocations, part of which we will use for turnover, and part of it will be put away temporarily, in case your organization needs it, take it out." β
"Sassy ......"
Wei Ruyi stopped talking again, and sighed: "If you can help reorganize Ruyi Building, you will already be benevolent and righteous, and there is really no need to think about the organization." If it weren't for them, you wouldn't be able to leave Longhang Villa right now. β
"The organization has also been divided, and I wasn't harmed by you, let's quietly collect these silver tickets and use them for our own people." Xu Sa wrote quickly.
Wei Ruyi shook his head helplessly: "You are really ...... Why don't you join the organization and join us? β
Xu Sa shrugged his shoulders and wrote with a whimsical smile: "Sister Ruyi, you know, I haven't figured out the reason why the Xu family was destroyed back then. β
If the family revenge has not been avenged, how can you have the heart to take care of the national hatred?
Wei Ruyi pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.
But looking at Wei Ruyi's expression, Xu Sa couldn't help but sigh.
The old department of Eastern Chu, the three branches, were originally supported by the three generals under the Marquis of Eastern Chu in the past. But Wei Ruyi's father died a few years ago, and the burden of this branch fell on Wei Ruyi, a weak woman.
The Wei family has the grace of salvation for her, but she carries too many things. For Wei Ruyi and the old department of Dongchu, she can only do her best, and she can help if she can.
