Chapter 29: The Truth
Hearing Heshun say this, the cup in my hand fell to the ground with a bang. Kerr? Su Mo'er's appearance, which was already blurred, is now clearly imprinted in my mind. During this time, I seemed to deliberately want to forget about this woman, however, now that I have news of her, I don't know whether to be sad or excited, and my heart can't help but tremble.
"Tell me carefully!" I still haven't been as decisive as Su Mo'er, maybe I think this Ke'er just looks like Su Mo'er, or maybe fundamentally I haven't really forgotten that unforgettable time.
"Miss Kerr now lives alone in a mansion in the West City." Heshun replied to me like this, but it was as if there was something left unfinished.
"Alone?" I always felt that something was wrong, wasn't she ransomed by a rich businessman? How to live alone? Isn't it going to be a bad day? I continued: "Go on!" ”
Heshun was a little timid, he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, and as soon as I slapped the table, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. Seeing him like this, I was even more puzzled, and pulled him up: "Tell me!" Heshun, tell me quickly! "I don't understand why I'm in such a hurry, like I'm crazy.
Seeing me like this, Heshun said in a panic: "Young master! I inquired about the rich businessman who ransomed Miss Kerr before, but in fact, he didn't dare to continue at ...... critical moment.
"Actually, what? Say it quickly! I shook him vigorously.
"Actually, it was actually sent by the master!" His eyes were closed, and he was trembling.
Sent by the old guy? What the hell is this old guy doing? Why did he do it? I pushed Heshun away, and was about to go out to question the old guy, but was hugged by Heshun.
"Young master, no! Don't go to Uncle Guo's theory! He Shun begged me, but his hand hugged me tighter.
"You let go! It's none of your business! "I yelled as I tried to break free. I didn't expect the old guy to do such a shameless thing, even his own son's woman. Although I am innocent with Kerr, we can't be so dirty.
"Young master, listen to me!" Heshun still refused to let go and pressed me against the chair. To be honest, this kid should have practiced, and he has a lot of strength, so give him this, and I'll just sit there honestly, or I want to hear what else I don't know.
"The master doesn't know that Miss Ke'er is in Chang'an City, if you rush to question like this, I'm afraid there will be some kind of trouble." Kazushun gasped and stared at me.
Didn't the old guy arrange Kerr in the West Market? The old guy didn't know that Ke'er was in Xishi, so what did he ask someone to ransom her for? I'm starting to get a little confused.
He Shun continued: "If the young master wants to find out, why don't you go and ask Miss Ke'er yourself?" Heshun's words reminded me, and I went directly to ask Ke'er, didn't everything be clear? If the old guy is really shameless and dirty, it's not too late to come back and question him.
I got up and straightened my clothes, and said calmly to Heshun, "Then why are you still stunned?" Take me there! ”
"Now?" Heshun knew that I was anxious, but had to stop me: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go now, and I can't hide it until it's dark." "I suddenly found that this Heshun is quite brainy, at least the IQ should be a lot higher than mine, although I was eager to figure out the whole thing, but I still felt that what he said was very reasonable, so I didn't act rashly.
When I finally waited for it to get dark and have dinner with the old fellow, I wanted to ask him several times, but when I thought of Heshun's words, I didn't show it too much. When the old man saw that I was not happy, he estimated that it was caused by the unpleasantness of the day, so he did not show his suspicions, and after hurriedly eating, he let He Shun lead him out through the small door of the house, and the two rode to a small mansion in the West City.
When I got off the horse and saw the lights in the house on, I was a little afraid to move forward, I was a little afraid, not afraid of seeing Ke'er, but afraid that I would not be able to bear it after knowing the truth. He Shun was about to knock on the door, but I stopped him and told him, "You wait outside the door, I'll go in by myself." After saying that, he climbed the gable wall and jumped in. You must know that buddies often skip class and skip school when they are studying, and they have also practiced this ability to climb walls and turn over the courtyard, which is very easy.
When he jumped down, he probably stepped on a clay pot, only to see the door of the house opened, and a man came out of the house with an oil lamp in his hand and asked, "Who?" The lights were too dim to tell that it was Ke'er, but as soon as I heard this voice, I knew it was her, and quickly responded: "It's me, the eldest grandson!" I replied as I walked up to her.
It's really her! It's really the one I'm familiar with! She looked at me in horror, the oil lamp in her hand shattered to the floor, and I pulled her into the house and kicked the door shut.
"How did Childe know I was here?" She was frightened but calmed down, and she turned her back to me and asked me.
What does this mean? Looking at this situation, it seems that I am not welcome coming! Or is there some other reason? I didn't think much about it, so I hurriedly asked her, "Don't ask me yet, tell me why the old guy ransomed you?" "I look forward to her answer.
She stood up and said to me truthfully, "When I woke up that day, Childe was already gone. Later in the evening, a wealthy businessman surnamed Jia bought me away. As soon as she said this, her eyes flashed with tears and she continued: "Childe also knows that it is not his own life to do our business, let alone ......" I did not interrupt her, although I now wanted to know why the old fellow had arranged for someone to ransom her, but I still continued to listen to her, even a word I had to hear clearly.
"I thought that from now on, I would follow the rich merchant to wander around and trade, but I didn't come up with the rich merchant in Chang'an City who gave me a sum of money to not return to Chang'an City, so he sent me away. I asked again and again, but the rich merchant only told me not to go back to Chang'an if I wanted to live. She couldn't stop a little, as if she wanted to tell me what happened to her: "I, a woman, didn't know the mystery and didn't know where to go, so I continued to follow the rich merchant's convoy." When the rich merchant surnamed Jia saw that I was pitiful, he told me that it was Uncle Guo who asked her to ransom me, so that I could leave Chang'an and stay away from Gongzi......"
When I heard this, I kind of understood. The old guy arranged this way probably for my consideration, he didn't want me to get involved in the Fengyue place, and he didn't want me to have contact with the Fengchen woman, the old guy didn't want to ......
So, did I hurt her or did I save her? Seeing her stay away from Zuixiang Building, isn't this exactly what I want to do but not do? I suddenly felt that the old guy was quite righteous.
"Then why are you back again?" I finally calmed down.
She burst into tears and threw herself into my arms......
