Chapter 40: Surveillance

In a small house in Yongle Lane in the south of the city, Su Muling, Zhen Youan and Wuying sat in the courtyard, drinking tea while paying attention to the movement outside the door.

On the opposite side of the gate of this courtyard is Li Xiuyi's outer house. Li Xiuyi raised a concubine in this outer house before, but later this little concubine fell ill and died, and this outer house was empty.

Yesterday, Su Muling asked the porter to prepare the carriage and horses, and took a few girls and mothers-in-law to go to the Chengdong Courtyard with Zhen Youan to escape the summer.

That night, the two of them crept out of the fence through the night and arrived at the small courtyard that Kazekage had rented a long time ago......

Su Muling knew that she went to another courtyard to escape the summer, and the Yuan family would not let go of this opportunity to 'create a man' with Li Xiuyi.

When it got dark, there was still no movement at the door. Su Muling got up and entered the house, she knew that the Yuan clan would not come today. No matter how bold the Yuan family is, he doesn't dare to go out at night to make a mess.

At night, because there was only one bed, after many days, Su Muling and Zhen Youan slept together again.

The two of them were lying on the bed a little restrained, and Su Muling leaned in and stuck to the wall. Zhen Youan was lying on the edge of the bed, and as long as his body moved, he was about to fall. In the dark night, I could hear each other's slightly nervous breathing.

Outside the house, there was an occasional dog barking or two, and the tireless barking of the indefatigable Zhizhi.

Su Muling kicked off the thin quilt covering his body. The house was small, it was hot, there was no ice basin in the house, and sweat stuck to his hair and stuck to his face.

Half-asleep and half-awake, a gust of wind hit her body, and it felt particularly comfortable in this stuffy tent, Su Muling turned over comfortably and leaned towards the place where the wind came from.

……

Su Muling was woken up by the heat, she opened her eyes, and saw that she was nested in the arms of the man next to her.

The man was still asleep, his slightly pale skin flushed from the heat, his long eyelashes casting a thick shadow under his eyes, and his eyebrows, which flew diagonally into his sideburns, loomed under the cover of his messy hair. With a touch of handsomeness in his delicate facial features, and a touch of gentleness in his handsomeness, Su Muling found that this man was really good-looking.

Seeing that he was still holding a pu fan in one hand on the outside, Su Muling vaguely remembered the wind last night.

With a warm heart, she carefully took out the fan from his hand, tilted it at the head of the bed and gently fanned him.

After almost half an hour, she heard the sound of a shadowless voice in the courtyard. Zhen Youan also opened his eyes at this time.

"Awake?"

Su Muling put down the pu fan, and if she didn't wake up again, her wrists were about to be tired.

"Wake up." Zhen Youan stood up.

In fact, when Su Muling woke up, he woke up, but he felt Su Muling's movements and pretended to be asleep. can enjoy the fan given by Miss Su herself, and he is willing to pretend to be asleep.

Shadowless had already boiled water in the kitchen. Rinsing off the sweat stains that had been sticking to his body all night, the two of them sat down at the dining table.

Breakfast is a shadowless porridge with a little salt. After eating, the three of them all sat in the courtyard again, and Su Muling took out the painting book he brought and stuffed the watermelon that had just been fished out of the well water into his mouth while reading it.

Zhen Youan and Wuying were playing chess on the side. This chess piece is different from ordinary chess pieces, each piece is fired with natural materials such as red agate, yellow/dragon jade, jade and amber, and is as fine and glutinous as jade, with a firm and soft body. The sunspot is as black as a crow green without any variegation, while the white is the color of ivory, like mutton fat and jade.

This chess was discovered by Su Haoran in Donggu Island, and he liked it very much, although he was not good at playing chess, he still bought it at a high price.

A few days ago, Su Muling found this chess piece from the treasury and gave it to Zhen Youan.

Zhen Youan is also a knowledgeable person, knowing that this is a rare treasure in the world, and he also loves it very much, and he even has to take it with him when he goes to another hospital to escape the summer.

In this way, until after noon, there was really no place in the yard where the sun could not shine, and when Su Muling got up and was about to go into the house to take a nap, the sound of wheels rolling came from the street.

Su Mu Lingxiang was beaten with chicken blood, and rushed to the gate of the courtyard in a few steps, opened the door and looked at the opposite door. Zhen Youan was a head taller than her, standing right behind her and above her head.

After thinking about it, he turned out of the backyard, came to a stall selling herbal tea, sat down, asked for a bowl of tea in his hand, and looked at the whereabouts of the carriage.
