Chapter 3: Rebirth
In the Chengdong Courtyard of the Su family in Songjiang Prefecture, Su Muling, who was awakened by a nightmare, put on thick clothes, and took the girl to cherish spring and pomegranate to the beach to breathe at the first ray of dawn. Yu Ping'an, the steward of the other hospital, followed from a distance with the two nursing homes.
"Huh? Miss, there seems to be someone there. The girl Pomegranate pointed to a dark shadow not far away.
"Check it out." Su Muling tightened the fox fur on his body. It's not March yet, and the sea breeze is still bitterly cold!
"Yes."
Pomegranate beckoned Yu Ping'an to come along, and when he got closer, the person whose face was as wet as paper was not a person. I saw that he was dressed in a black robe, his slender figure, ink-like sword eyebrows and thick long eyelashes fell on his pale face, even if he was so embarrassed, he couldn't hide his innate nobility.
Yu Ping'an stepped forward and bent down to probe at the man's snort, then turned to Su Muling: "Miss, there is still gas." ”
"Take it back, find a doctor and see if you can save it." The eldest lady gave an order, and the two guards hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the man up with their hands and feet.
Su Muling stood where he was and didn't leave, looking at the vast sky in the distance filled with a layer of light white mist. Seventeen years ago, Su Muling was born in this east courtyard of the city, and her mother Liu gave birth to her in this courtyard in order to wait for her father to come back from the sea, but unfortunately her mother did not wait for her father to come back, and after giving birth to her, she hemorrhaged profusely and left.
When Su Muling grew up, Su Muling would stay here for a few days every year on her mother's memorial day to comfort her longing, and her birthday has never been celebrated since.
A round of red sun jumped out of the clouds and hung in the air, and Su Muling turned around.
"Let's go back."
As soon as the words came out, his eyes fell on the place where the man was lying just now. Su Muling bent down to pick up a piece of jade, turned it over and saw what was engraved on it, she withdrew her gaze and held the jade in her hand.
Nearly noon, a carriage drove into Su's house, and it didn't stop until it entered the second door. Su Muling was helped out of the carriage by Xichun, she stopped, looked around, and it was still the familiar home. The home that was not coveted by the bad guys and became torn apart.
"Where's Daddy?" Su Muling asked.
"The master went to the shop early in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet." The housekeeper Cao Gui replied respectfully on the side.
"I'll tell you as soon as I get back."
"Yes."
Su Muling raised his feet and returned to his courtyard.
"Miss is back, fetch water and send it to the house." Liu's mother squeezed away Xichun, stepped forward to help Su Muling and sent her to the house in person. Su Muling is the eldest in the family, and everyone in the house calls her Miss, and only the people around her call her Miss.
"How is Mother Liu doing?" Su Muling took Liu's mother's hand and looked at her face carefully.
Mother Liu is the dowry girl of Su Muling's mother, married to Cao Gui, the housekeeper of Su Mansion. After the death of her mother Liu, Liu's mother stayed by Su Muling's side and devoted herself to serving. The big girl Xichun next to Su Muling is the daughter of Liu's mother and Cao Gui.
"Okay! The young lady has only been away for a few days, which makes the young lady worried. ”
Yes, for them, she has only been away for a few days, but for Su Muling, it is a lifetime.
Hot water was sent in, Su Muling washed his face, changed into homely clothes, and sat down on the kang.
Knowing that the eldest lady came back today, Liu's mother heated the earth dragon in the house early, and put two charcoal stoves in the bedroom where the eldest lady often stayed. I'm afraid that one will accidentally freeze the eldest lady.
"Xichun, call Jin Lian in." Su Muling took the hand stove command from Xichun's hand. Xichun agreed and went out.
After a while, a plump girl walked in with Xichun. After greeting Su Muling, Jin Lian stood aside, bowing her head and not knowing what to do.
"How long have you been in my yard?" Su Muling's voice was cold.
"Back to Miss, the slave has been with Miss for three years."
"Three years. How have I treated you in the past three years? ”
Xichun, Pomegranate and Liu's mother, who were waiting on the side, didn't know what was wrong with Miss, so they called a girl to ask such inexplicable words.
"Miss treats slaves better than her own parents." Jin Lian's voice trembled a little, but a layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the cold sky.
"Since I am not thin on you, then why did you betray me?"
With a 'plop', Jin Lian knelt on her knees, her head banging like a chicken pecking rice. "Miss spare your life...... Slave ......"
