Chapter 162 Unintentionally inserted willows into the shade

Su Jiao was overjoyed, and she was even more glad that she met Zhang Yuanwai in the forest, otherwise it would be difficult to speak. Zhang Yuanwai pinched his chin and thought for a while, "I haven't heard of this name, but there are not many people surnamed Tian in Chen Zhong, Mrs. Xiao, please give me a little time, I will find a way to find out the person." ”

"If that's the case, thank you so much." Su Jiao nodded violently.

On the other side, the old woman who saw the third prince talking to her at the mouth of the alley last night, was very worried, for fear that these things she heard were unspeakable secrets, so she hurried to the Diankeju to resign.

The steward surnamed Liu, who was in charge of the pawn house, had some friendship with the old woman, and as soon as he heard that the old woman was going to resign, he immediately took her to the backyard, and the two of them discussed it alone.

"Cauliflower, you've been working here for a long time, and our people here are used to eating the food you cooked, and now it's not very peaceful here, and you suddenly said you want to leave, what do you tell us to do?"

Steward Liu sighed with his hands in his hands, because this was an old acquaintance, so he spoke so politely to this Tian's mother. Tian Caihua also had no choice, so she had to briefly tell Steward Liu what she had heard, and Steward Liu's eyes immediately widened in surprise.

"What you say is true? It's that time, how can the third prince go outside with the envoys? ”

"Who's to say it isn't? You said you couldn't believe it, and I was afraid that no one would believe me if I said it, otherwise I would have to leave in such a hurry. No matter how bad it is, Steward Liu, you give me a vacation, let me go out to avoid the limelight, and when the envoy leaves, I will come back. ”

Tian's mother saw that he refused to believe himself, and he was so anxious that he was about to stomp his feet, Steward Liu hurriedly waved his hand to reassure, "Okay, okay, Tian's mother, you calm down first, then I will allow you to go back to visit your relatives for a month, if there is any movement this month, it will definitely be made out a long time ago, if there is nothing, you can come back." ”

"Yes, thank you Steward Liu." Hearing this, Tian's mother immediately bowed to him gratefully, and then went out through the side door of the backyard, ready to go home to pack up her things and run away.

Unfortunately, Inoue has always liked to walk around in the backyard, that is, to make it easier for himself to get close, and if there is any trouble, he can go out through the back door.

Last night he and the third prince came back from the alley, turned their heads and saw the back of an old woman's dress, and he had been thinking about it all day today, for fear that someone would hear something that he shouldn't have heard.

Who knew that when he came to this backyard to relax, and when he explored the terrain by the way, he happened to see the conversation between Tian's mother and Steward Liu. Mother Tian was already cautious enough to lower her voice, but this Steward Liu coldly shouted out her words, which made Inoue He's heart startled, and he hurriedly hid, and saw the back of Mother Tian running away.

Soon, Steward Liu also sighed and shook his head back, and Inoue Hehe poked his head out from behind the pillar, looking at the direction where Tian's mother left, his eyes were deep.

West of the city, pomegranate forest.

"Mother, eat pomegranates!"

After walking around the pomegranate forest for a while, Su Jiao talked and laughed with Zhang Yuanwai, and after he left, he hurried to the position that Zhang Yuanwai said, first asked Mu Hibiscus to pick a basket of the legendary best-tasting pomegranates, and then happily carried the basket, like a child, and ran quickly to Mrs. Su.

Mrs. Su put down the teacup in her hand, and as soon as she raised her head, she saw that Su Jiao had already brought the pomegranate to her. "Oh, it's so red, this pomegranate looks good, where have you just been, and it took so long to come back. Look at you running sweaty. ”

"These are the best pomegranates in the whole pomegranate forest, and there are so many left this year, I don't have any more wants, so I specially picked them back for my mother to taste."

Su Jiao squinted her eyes and said with a smile, and specially lowered her body so that Mrs. Su could raise her hand to wipe her sweat for her.

"I did hear that there are good varieties specially selected by him in this forest outside Zhang Yuanwai, so this should be these. But whatever. You can't just eat pomegranates to eat enough, it's almost noon, aren't you hungry? ”

Mrs. Su sighed in her heart that her daughter was married and so lively, and Xiao Huai'an listened to Su Furan's words, and immediately reacted, snapped her fingers and asked Liang Xin and them to set up a car.

"What my mother-in-law said is that the sun is getting big at this time, and it will be hard to sit here again, I know that there is a good restaurant in the west of the city, and my mother-in-law can also go to try it."

"Look, Huai'an is so considerate, you can marry him, my mother is really happy." Mrs. Su nodded approvingly, and was more and more glad that Su Jiao's affair with the third prince did not work out.

Seeing Xiao Huai'an so filial to Mrs. Su, Su Jiao was also a little moved in her heart, but she didn't think about anything else, just like a good buddy, she quietly made a thumbs up gesture with Xiao Huai'an behind Mrs. Su.

Xiao Huai'an's face did not change, but his heart was full of mixed feelings, and then the two carriages were ready, and after crossing the small bridge across the small river behind the pomegranate forest, they could come to the market.

However, the carriage had not yet set off, but it had just walked to the corner of the pomegranate forest, and Xiao Huai'an, who was far away, heard the sound of swords facing each other in front of him, and the shout of an old woman.

"Help, murder!"

Tian's mother was holding the packed baggage in her hand, thinking that she could leave smoothly, but who knew that the killer would come over so soon, and he was driven to the west of the city in a daze.

This place is remote, and if no one sees it, I am afraid that no one will find the body for ten days and half a month.

Poor Tian's mother, an old woman who is over half a hundred years old, has not very bright legs and feet, and she has to be chased and killed by several killers. These killers held the long knives of the Wa Kingdom in their hands, and they couldn't see their faces clearly with their faces covered.

Seeing this, Xiao Huai'an immediately frowned and got out of the car, in case these killers would come over to the detriment of Su Jiao and Mrs. Su. Su Jiao also looked very nervous, but in order not to worry Mrs. Su in the back, she also got out of the car and went to the back to comfort Mrs. Su.

However, the four or five killers in front didn't seem to notice the movement on the side of the pomegranate forest, and before Xiao Huai'an could rush over, one person slashed at Tian's mother's back with a knife.

Tian's mother immediately screamed, and the place where she stood was at the edge of the small bridge, and the killer kicked her wound, and Tian's mother fell into the river in response, and sank down and suddenly made no sound.

The killers wandered on the bridge for a while, thinking that Tian's mother should have no chance of surviving, so they quickly left. After the killer left, Xiao Huaian hurriedly took Liang Xin over and salvaged Tian's mother in the middle of the river.

Fortunately, it is not yet the rainy season at this moment, and the water level is not deep, except for fainting due to excessive pain and choking on a few mouthfuls of water, Tian's mother still has a weak pulse.

Su Jiao coaxed Mrs. Su with jokes, and called Mu Jin to be a good student, looked at the care, heard the movement outside disappeared, and followed up to take a look at the situation. And as soon as they touched Tian's mother's appearance, Su Jiao and Mu Rong suddenly widened their eyes in shock.

"This, this is?!" Su Jiao covered her mouth in surprise, Xiao Huai'an turned her head and asked, "What?" Do you know her? ”

"Uh-" The corners of Su Jiao's mouth twitched, and she didn't know how to explain it to Xiao Huai'an, so Mu Rong briefly explained it next to her.

"Madame suspected that there was something wrong with Su Lian's life experience, and in the end, the only one who knew about Master Su's situation back then was this Tian's mother, that is, the old mother who had just proposed to Zhang Yuanwai and asked him to help find it."

"That being the case, then Mrs. Su can't know about her existence, it's just that she is just an ordinary servant in the end, who would go to such great lengths to attack her?"

Xiao Huai'an accepted it quickly, frowned and finished speaking, Su Jiao also nodded, and then after thinking about it, Xiao Huai'an asked Mu Hibiscus to send Mrs. Su and Su Jiao to dinner, and took Tian's mother back to the house alone.

"No, if you leave suddenly, won't your mother be suspicious, this side should be very close to the medical hall of the previous Mu Gongzi, why don't we take a detour over there?"

Su Jiao shook her head, she was not happy, but she couldn't resist Xiao Huai'an's insistence. "No, this matter is not only your family's family affairs and past affairs, those killers are related to the Japanese country, so the less people know about it, the better, you can go by yourself, you can use any reason, and when you come back, this Tian's mother will probably wake up."

"Okay then." Hearing this, Su Jiao had no reason to ask herself to go back together, and after accompanying Mrs. Su to dinner, she sent Mrs. Su back with good words and persuasion, and hurried back to Xiao's mansion.

It's just that maybe because Su Jiao moved too quickly, Xiao Huai'an just asked someone to settle Tian's mother, and Su Jiao came back.

"You're coming back too soon, this wound has just been treated, and it will take a while for her to wake up. I originally planned for you to accompany Mrs. Su and the two of them to talk a lot. ”

Xiao Huai'an looked at her in surprise and hurriedly ran back, panting constantly, and couldn't help but go to the side to wash her hands. Su Jiao came directly and sat on the side of Tian's mother's bed.

"I really can't help it, I want to know the situation for the first time, so that I can solve the doubts in my heart, so that it is a good thing for anyone and for my mother. If you're in a hurry to investigate, go ahead and I'll wait here until he wakes up. ”

Su Jiao pursed her mouth, looking at the truth that she had been thinking about for a long time, it was close in front of her, and there was actually a kind of homesickness in her heart.

Xiao Huai'an nodded, and understood her feelings, turned her head and was just about to go out to do her own thing, when she suddenly heard the exclamation of Tian's mother on the bed.

"Help!"

Tian's mother slept unsteadily, and as soon as she regained some consciousness, she couldn't help but move, and accidentally pulled the wound on her back during the action, which made her body feel even more painful, and she woke up from the pain, and then when she opened her eyes, she saw Su Jiao's enlarged face.
