The previous night seemed to be a secret that only existed between the two of them, and no one else knew about it, and Su Wanmiao tacitly did not mention it to anyone else. Even when someone asked where she had gone that night, she didn't tell the truth, just made excuses like she had accidentally gotten apart.

It wasn't until the early morning of the third day after waking up that the Su family's convoy officially set off again, leaving the small town and heading to Yongxu Village.

And this time, on the carriage that Du Bai was riding, there were only Su Wanmiao and him. Originally, Ying'er was supposed to serve on the side, but Su Wanmiao found an excuse and asked her to change to a carriage, although Ying'er didn't know why, she still obediently did so.

She is also happy about the development of the relationship between the eldest lady and her uncle.

However, at this time, with the rolling of the wheels, there was not much ambiguous emotion in the carriage, and the two sat facing each other, and they didn't speak for a while.

Listening to the conversation of the people outside the carriage, and hearing the "rustle" sound of the wheels under the car crushing the gravel, Su Wanmiao quietly raised her head and glanced at Du Bai opposite, she actually wanted to break the strange atmosphere now, but she couldn't find a good topic for a while.

It was the first time she doubted her ability to communicate with people.

It stands to reason that she has been exposed to business since she was a child, and she can find a topic for anyone and quickly get to the point of the other party, so as to shorten the distance between the two sides, so as to occupy the initiative at the negotiation table and gain an advantage.

This is what she has always been good at, and even her grandfather appreciates it, otherwise she would not rashly choose to entrust the family business to her.

It's just that at this moment, she could easily deal with no matter how difficult the opponent was, but she felt a little sweat stain in her palm, which was so cold that she subconsciously grabbed the placket of her clothes, afraid that the person opposite would see her nervousness.

Originally, when Ying'er was still there, she could still remain calm, and when the two were alone, as if they could smell each other's faint breath face to face, she felt that her heartbeat was a little too fast. I want to calm down, but I can't do it, and the more I suppress it, the more the emotion overflowing from that heartbeat seems to jump out of my throat.

She felt more and more that in the eyes of the other party, she must be embarrassed at the moment, hanging her head and not daring to speak, where is there still the momentum she usually has.

At this moment, she really wanted to go back to herself when she was still in Su Mansion, at least at that time, she dared to look at him directly, and she wouldn't even be speechless.

Finally, in the midst of her cranky thoughts, Du Bai spoke first.

"Wanmiao, have you mentioned the incident of that night to anyone else?" He asked.

"Nope!" Su Wanmiao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, slowly raised her head to look at him, and said seriously as if she was afraid that he would not believe it, "I haven't mentioned this matter to anyone. ”

"That'll be fine." Du Bai nodded and said, "It's best to be asked by others in the future, and don't tell the truth." It's hard to say whether it will cause any unnecessary trouble. ”

After all, it is a rune of the ghost clan, and it may attract the attention of some well-intentioned people.

Su Wanmiao nodded, but then her eyes shone slightly, and she asked softly, "I know." Furthermore...... The female ghost of Li'er in the house before, Zen Master Huaisheng once said that someone was secretly helping. Now that I think about it, is that person the same as you? ”

Du Bai also knew that he would definitely not be able to hide this from the other party, so he admitted it: "It's indeed me." There is a wicked person behind that female ghost, who wants to harm our Su family. It's just that I blocked it back, and now even if the other party doesn't die, he has suffered a lot, and he shouldn't dare to do it again in a short time. ”

Su Wanmiao's heart moved slightly when she heard this, she looked back and seemed to glance in the direction she came, and asked tentatively in a low voice, "Is it the Liu family?" ”

Du Bai chuckled and said, "It's probably self-inflicted." ”

Su Wanmiao's heart seemed to let go of a heavy burden, but the eyes that looked at him became brighter and brighter.

Which girl doesn't have a spring?

She had also fantasized about what her future husband would be. If it weren't for the burden of the Su family that pressed her to the death, so that she had to become mature and steady, then she would be quite envious of those legendary knights, walking the rivers and lakes, and breaking off their enmities.

When she followed her grandfather's choice to marry a sick scholar she had never met, she had actually put down all those unrealistic ideas.

It's just that she didn't expect that the man in front of her would stir up a fresh color from the life she thought would be a pool of stagnant water and never have waves, so that her already dead heart revived again.

……

When she was a child, she didn't know why her father never came back, and she didn't understand why her grandfather suddenly forced her to read and write. Day by day, night by night, she held back her tears, not daring to let go, even though she never understood the reason.

Until one day, grandpa suddenly said that as long as he memorized an article, he would allow himself to go to the Lantern Festival tomorrow night.

She was very happy and worked hard to stay up late and memorize that article. Grandpa really didn't break his promise, and that night, she saw the grandest lantern show she had ever seen.

The streets are full of colorful lights, some are jugglers, and some parents bring their children to play. On the rippling river, her grandfather took her and her sister to sit in the boat together, looking at the beautiful scenery of the street market through the window, and the various states of life were reflected in her pupils, flashing with crystal brilliance.

It was also at that time that Grandpa's voice suddenly sounded behind him, with a bit of vicissitudes that could not be concealed: "Wanmiao, you should know that this lantern festival was led by our Su family." ”

She tilted her head ignorantly, glanced back at her grandfather standing behind her, and saw that he was looking up at the beautiful scenery of the prosperous world outside the window, but what was reflected in his pupils was only the loneliness and loneliness after the prosperity.

The straight waist pole on weekdays was faintly revealed under the background of the fireworks at this moment, and the white hair that was slightly messy by the wind drooped slightly, and she seemed to have found out at this time that this old man who was so tough and majestic on weekdays was extremely old at this time, and it seemed that his head had turned white overnight.

"I want to tell those who secretly laugh at our Su family, tell everyone - our Su family will never bow to them, and will never lose!"

Grandpa sighed, glanced at his young sister who was still holding the window and looked excitedly outside, and then focused his eyes on her, revealing a kind smile that he had not seen for a long time and said, "Wanmiao, all this will ...... in the future." It's all up to you. Grandfather...... That's all I can do. ”

From then on, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be different from before. She had to make a change.

What she needs is not willfulness, but the ability to control the entire Su family and deal with all foreign enemies. She didn't dare to relax for a moment, not even to shed tears.
