Chapter 365: Helpless Yi Zhao
Manro shook his head, brushing aside the ridiculous thoughts in his mind, and silently retreated.
Su Wanqing looked at the nightshade as if she was eating it deliciously, and couldn't help but pick up a piece of mung bean cake and put it in her mouth.
The sweet smell suddenly spread, and the warm feeling slowly soaked into the internal organs. Su Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, she seemed to understand a little, why Ruobing and Nightshade liked to eat mung bean cake so much.
It's really delicious.
Su Wanqing ate a few bites, Ruo Bing glanced at the nightshade, and found that she was just eating her own things seriously, as if she couldn't feel any wind and grass in the outside world.
Being able to eat a simple food so seriously, Nightshade was the first person she knew to do so. She's a wonderful girl from every point of view, but she doesn't make people wary or think otherwise about her.
Because, nightshade is so clean, her mind is pure and flawless, and her eyes are extremely clear.
In the face of such a girl, you can't afford to have the slightest calculation or doubt in your heart.
Perhaps, this is also the magic of nightshade itself.
Ruobing somewhat understood why Su Wanqing brought back a person who didn't know the details. Just sitting there, just quietly eating her own things, people can't help but love her from the bottom of their hearts.
Ruo Bing looked at Su Wanqing and asked with some curiosity: "What happened in the frontier to make such a big noise." Now there are rumors about you everywhere outside, and you are really a big celebrity who has left the country now. β
Su Wanqing glanced at Ruo Bing with a joke in her eyes a little helplessly, and then said: "It's just a coincidence, it's to blame, and it's also to blame the people of those two countries, the brain is really too bad." Specially picking this kind of time to find fault, is it true that leaving the country on the same day is a good stubble? β
Ruo Bing glanced at Su Wanqing and said, "That is, you, when you mentioned this matter, you were so indignant. It's not because of the Six Princes, otherwise, how could you go to such great lengths to help? β
Su Wanqing didn't hide it, she nodded generously and said, "After all, Xiu is my fiancΓ©, and it is only natural for me to help him." I can't watch the place where I grew up being trampled on like this by other wicked people. Although it will not endanger the imperial city, this is indeed not a good thing, is it? But you, how is your body? β
Ruo Bing stretched out her hand, moved her body again, and then looked at Su Wanqing. The meaning in her eyes was obvious, she was very good now, but she didn't need to worry about it.
Su Wanqing grabbed Ruobing's somewhat cold fingers and pulled her sleeves up slightly. Sure enough, there were still a few shallow scars on the white arms.
At the beginning, it was the perverted man, when he put the blood of Ruobing, the knife marks left behind have not disappeared until now.
In the final analysis, this is also because of their own negligence. Otherwise, Ruobing would not have been so seriously injured because of himself. Although she never said anything to herself on the surface, the letter only told her that it was good. But Su Wanqing's heart still inevitably rose a trace of self-blame.
If Bing is her best friend, and her best friend is injured, how can she be as calm as water?
Ruobing saw Su Wanqing's appearance like this, and immediately knew what she was thinking in her heart. She held Su Wanqing's hand instead, if it was her usual person, she would not make such an intimate move with others at all, even if the other party was a woman, it was no exception.
"Don't think too much about it, I'm fine now. Moreover, Xiao Du has been dispensing medicine for me recently, and it is actually much better. If you keep using it for a while, this scar will disappear sooner or later. β
Su Wanqing replied in a low voice.
After Ruobing was injured, Su Wanqing didn't think about it, and she was going to serve the underground casino. But at that time, they didn't have time to do it for the time being because of Ruobing's matter. Moreover, although Su Wanqing was very angry at the time, she really hadn't found a suitable excuse to clean up the underground casino.
She still has only a shred of sanity, after all, she doesn't want to startle the snake because of impulse. So until now, Su Wanqing has not made a move. But that doesn't mean she'll let those people go easily.
She believes that not only herself, but also Yi Zhao and Chu Yan must think the same way.
Ruobing is a friend that everyone cherishes each other, and she was hurt like this, fortunately, she didn't make a big mistake, but for someone as arrogant as them, it was already a rebellion.
Although Su Wanqing didn't make a move on her side, Yi Zhao's side has been acting in secret. They didn't know enough about the underground casino, so they naturally didn't dare to act rashly.
But now, Ruobing's body is much better. Anyway, I don't need to appear in the public eye often when I am to be married recently, but I also have to relax and take a good look at this underground casino.
The two of them chatted for a while, and the nightshade next to them had already eaten a large portion of mung bean cake. After she finished eating, she didn't say a word, just sat down in her chair and watched them quietly. A pair of big eyes, blinking and staring at them, there was a hint of curiosity in their eyes.
Su Wanqing turned her head and looked in the direction of the nightshade, touching her eyes, for some reason, the softest place in her heart was suddenly touched.
She suddenly remembered the brother she knew, and she might not have seen him for a long time. In this way, the girl may not be much older than her brother, and the two of them will become good friends, maybe it is not a doubt.
Su Wanqing thought of her younger brother, he had suffered so much since he was a child, if he could have a girl like Nightshade by his side, it must be a great comfort to him.
But she is not a child trafficker, and she doesn't know the details of nightshade, so she can't just keep her around.
Su Wanqing thought for a while, and then asked, "Xiaokui, where are your parents?" Why didn't they stay with you? β
Long Kui opened her big eyes and looked at Su Wanqing, and only after a while did she ask with some doubts: "Sister, what do you mean by parents?" β
Su Wanqing couldn't help but glance at Ruo Bing, and they both saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes, followed by a trace of distress.
But also, when she first saw Nightshade, she was dressed so dirty, obviously only one person, and she was still miserable. Such a person, even if he has no parents, can understand.
But thinking about it like this, Nightshade's life experience is a bit miserable.
"Is there anyone around Xiaokui who is accompanying Xiaokui?"
Nightshade thought for a while, shook her head, and her long curly hair shook gently with her movements, like a shallow wave.
"Not now."
That's what happened before?
Su Wanqing thought about it, Long Kui looked ignorant of the world, it was indeed not a lie, she didn't even know what her parents were. How do such people survive in this world?
Her doubts about nightshade are growing, but now is clearly not the time to solve them. But what she can be sure of is that there is no malice in Nightshade.
"Xiaokui, what are your plans next?"
Nightshade replied without hesitation this time: "Follow Sister Su." β
Su Wanqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Nightshade, and then said, "Follow me?" Aren't you afraid that your sister is a bad person? β
Nightshade shook her head dryly, pointed to the wrapping paper of the mung bean cake in front of her, as well as the clothes on her body, and said: "If my sister is a bad person, there is no need to give Nightshade something to eat, and I won't give Nightshade warm clothes to wear." Although Nightshade doesn't know much, Nightshade believes that Sister Su is not a bad person. And Sister Su has the baby of Nightshade, and the baby of Nightshade chooses Sister Su, then Sister Su is a good person. β
Su Wanqing's words about nightshade, although there are some places that she can't fully understand, she probably understands what she means.
Come on, anyway, now the nightshade will follow him first.
"Sister Su is not convenient to take you back to the mansion to live now, you should live here with this Sister Ruobing first, are you willing?"
When she saw that Nightshade heard what she said, her little brows furrowed slightly, Su Wanqing thought for a while, and added: "You live with Sister Ruobing first, and you can have mung bean cake to eat every day." You know, you and Sister Ruobing both like to eat mung bean cake the most. β
Nightshade's little brows immediately stretched, she nodded obediently, and then looked at Ruobing, who was watching the play with her hands on the side, and asked, "Sister Ruobing, Xiaokui lives here, can she really eat mung bean cake every day?" β
Ruobing secretly gave Su Wanqing a look of contempt, using this method to keep other people's little girls, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a child trafficker, really.
But on the bright side, Ruobing smiled at the nightshade and said, "Of course, if you live here with Sister Ruobing, you can eat whatever you want." Moreover, Sister Su will often come to see you, you say, Sister Su? "Don't want to leave people with her, just don't care about anything.
Facing Ruo Bing with a dangerous smile, Su Wanqing couldn't help but swallow her saliva, if this woman really got angry, she couldn't resist it.
Therefore, Su Wanqing's chick pecked at the rice and nodded, almost patting her chest to reassure.
"Of course, Sister Su will often come to see Xiaokui, and she will also bring Xiaokui's favorite mung bean cake. After all, Xiaokui's baby is still with Sister Su, and Sister Su will not forget it. β
After receiving Su Wanqing's assurance, Long Kui nodded reassuringly.
After chatting about things, Su Wanqing didn't stay any longer, and it was purely an accident to "pick up" the nightshade today. But I don't know if this accident is a good thing or a bad thing.
Now, Su Wanqing doesn't have time to think about this.
When she went out, Yi Zhao sent her a unique signal. Su Wanqing knew that Yi Zhao had something to find herself, and maybe, it was also for the underground casino.
As far as Su Wanqing knew, during the days when she was not in the imperial city, Yi Zhao had also been running around for this matter. Coincidentally, she also wanted to know what kind of conspiracy was contained in this.
In a quiet and elegant room, a handsome man is drinking a cup of steaming tea alone with his head slightly bowed. The aroma of tea slowly spreads out from the almost transparent Suoyu cup, enveloping the entire space. The air is full of the aroma of tea.
Su Wanqing pushed open the door and came in, and what she saw was such a scene of a beautiful man drinking tea.
At the moment when Su Wanqing opened the door, the man opposite also raised his head almost at the same time and looked in the direction of Su Wanqing.
Seeing Su Wanqing dressed in women's clothes, Yi Zhao only raised her eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything.
"Master, you're here."
Although they are very good friends with each other, Yi Zhao is used to calling Su Wanqing as his master, and he doesn't feel that he is doing things for a girl younger than himself, which is something unseemly. After all, Su Wanqing is so good, and the relationship with them is so good, for Yi Zhao, this is a relaxed and happy thing.
Su Wanqing nodded at Yi Zhao and greeted, "Zhao, it's been a long time." β
"It's been a while since I saw my master. Looking at the master's complexion, it's not bad, presumably he gets along well with the former master, and good things are coming, so it's like this. β
Yi Zhao still likes to tease people very much as usual. Even if Su Wanqing is his nominal master, he has not changed this attitude.
But this kind of Yi Zhao, when getting along, is the least distant.
Su Wanqing glanced at Yi Zhao helplessly, her friends one by one, but none of them were serious, and they all fell in love with and teased her recently.
Yi Zhao looked at Su Wanqing's expression, and suddenly smiled lightly, and his eyebrows became more and more handsome.
However, Zhao was very happy to see the master and the former master tie the knot. Congratulations, master. β
Su Wanqing looked directly at Yi Zhao's beautiful eyes, and for a while, she also showed a sincere smile.
"Thank you, Zhao."
"Looking for me this time, but for the underground casino? What's the clue on your side? When it came to business, Su Wanqing brought a hint of righteousness.
Yi Zhao opened his mouth and said: "It's strange to say, the underground casino, except for the last time Ruobing was brought in, and I sneaked in because of the waist card, no one else has heard of these things." Moreover, no one was brought in anymore. I had sent a good-looking woman to go around the underground casino on purpose. But she wasn't targeted at all, let alone taken in. β
Su Wanqing's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"It seems that what they did last time made them more vigilant."
"That's right, in addition to this method, I also secretly tried a lot of tricks, trying to pry open the mouths of the people working in them. But those people don't know about it at all, if it's a few people, maybe it's acting. But all of them say so, either, they are all shut up; Or, the real thing, in fact, they are not clear. β
"...... you mean"
"Ruobing was cut and bled out." Yi Zhao looked at Su Wanqing, his eyes were a little heavy. He's never been like this, and he can't find too many clues, which is not his style at all.
Su Wanqing thought for a while, and then there was a hint of surprise in her heart, but she had already blurted out.
"What you mean is that the staff, maybe they just thought that the women were taken away, maybe they were sold to the green house or the barracks. But in fact, they should all have bled to death, and as for what happened to the bodies, I'm afraid only the person who did it knows about it. β
"That's right." Yi Zhao said in a low voice.
He surveyed so many people, and they all had the same attitude, which is obviously not uniformly silenced. After all, in the face of money, they are just ordinary people who work part-time, how can they not be tempted? But Yi Zhao didn't get useful information because of this, which can only show one thing.
That is, the person behind it, or Ruan Guifei, is really too hidden. Even if they wanted to get more information, it became very difficult.
Although Yi Zhao didn't want to admit it, this time, after more than a month of hard work, he almost didn't get anything. At least he didn't think he was getting useful information.
Su Wanqing was silent for a while, looked at Yi Zhao's somewhat frustrated expression, and said comfortingly: "Zhao, you don't have to blame yourself, it's not your fault." To blame, you can only blame that woman for hiding too deeply. It seems that I still underestimated her. β
Yi Zhao put down the tea in his hand, and a trace of irritability and self-blame welled up in his heart.
He didn't feel the slightest relaxation in his heart because of Su Wanqing's words. Because he knew that if he hadn't found out the person who hurt Ruobing, he wouldn't be at ease for the rest of his life.
"Master, do you know, when I saw Bing lying next to that pool of blood with a pale face, at that moment, I really felt scared......"
Yi Zhao lowered his head, and the broken hair on his forehead hung down, blocking his expression.
But Su Wanqing knew that he must be very uncomfortable.
Yi Zhao, Ruobing, and Chu Yan have grown up together since they were children, and they have suffered so much together, and the relationship between them is not as simple as friendship.
Even if it is said to be family affection, it is not an exaggeration.
"I've always treated Bing as my dearest sister, but I never imagined that one day she would lie there so vulnerable. If I hadn't arrived, she might have been bled out and left us forever...... Just thinking about it made me feel like there was a fire burning in my body, and I couldn't accept it. β
Yi Zhao always looks like a smile on weekdays, joking and teasing others, as if his mood never changes.
But today, Su Wanqing really felt Yi Zhao's pain and self-blame for not being able to help Ruobing take revenge. Although it was not his fault, Ruobing was like his own sister.
What brother in the world would be indifferent when he saw his sister hurt like this? At least not Yi Zhao.
