XXIV Conspiracy

"Phewβ€”"

"Sir, here we are," said the coachman, turning his head into the curtain.

As he spoke, he helped Su Wei off the horse.

patted his sleeves at will, looked at the two big words "Chu Mansion" standing in front of him, and sighed slightly in his heart.

He has been at odds with this Chu Ru for a long time, coupled with the matter of Yu Huaifeng...... Unexpectedly, he would make such a decision.

It's okay not to mention it, I just hope that Sheng'er won't be recognized by him. Thinking so, he walked to the door.

"Stop, who's coming," the two guards at the door stopped him with knives.

"Go in and say a word to your master, and say that Su Wei is here"

The two glanced at each other, said "Come out" behind the door, and then slowly opened the door.

Standing behind the door was Su Jisheng, who was already weak, and at this moment he still had scars on his face, looking crumbling.

"Sheng'er-" hurriedly picked up Su Jisheng, who was about to fall.

"Our lord said that we will not welcome guests today," said one of the guards with an unkind face.

Su Wei looked at Su Jisheng in front of him with concern, and then yelled towards the door with a fierce face.

"Tell Chu Ruyan, I wrote down this account, you asked him to wait for me, and we will calculate it next day"

As he spoke, he took Su Jisheng back to the car and whispered to the coachman

"Let's go."

With the dust and the sound of horses' hooves drifting away, the carriage gradually disappeared into the endless darkness of the night.

At this time, Chu Ruyan stood out from the door, watched the carriage disappear into a black dot in the distance, flicked his sleeves, and said in his heart.

"Hmph, I'll wait, it's not certain who will kill the deer."

The face is unfathomable.

―――――――――――――――――――――

At this time, Su Zhenli was crying in the room and was sad, tears were falling, and Liu Niang was quite helpless to comfort her.

"Miss, the master is back with the young master"

A maid suddenly ran over and shouted.

"Really...... It's true? Suddenly stopped the tears, but the voice was still choppy.

"There is nothing wrong with what the slave sees with her own eyes"

"Miss, you can rest assured now," Liu Niang also quietly breathed a sigh of relief

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back," Su Jili muttered.

"It's justβ€”"

"It's just whatβ€”" The heart that had just been put down hung in his throat again.

"The young master seems to be injured?"

"What?"

My brother was injured.

"Liu Niang, I'm going to find my brother," she said and hurriedly got up and rushed out of the house, completely ignoring the tears on her face.

Listening to the sound of breathing blowing in his ears, Su Jili's mind flashed with Su Jisheng's appearance.

If it weren't for her, maybe her brother wouldn't have been arrested.

Will my brother blame her?

My brother is injured, will it be okay?

Thoughts came to mind one after another, and by the time she pulled out, she had reached the door, and she was about to lift her foot to enter but stopped. The remaining thoughts were still swirling in his mind, and at last he shook his head vigorously, shook off the things that bothered him, took a deep breath, and stepped into the door.

In front of him, Su Zhensheng looked quite weak, where he stood there was still a little weak, slightly supported his dizzy forehead, and at the same time, the scars on his arms were exposed at a glance. Su Li's heart ached at that moment.

It's all her fault

The slender hand quietly put down as if it felt an intention, and the handsome and delicate face was plain and white, and a few more scars were added.

Unexpectedly, Su Jili ran to hug him and buried his head in his arms

The tears that could not be stopped were out of control again in an instant.

"Woo-" Listening to the whimpering sound in his arms, Su Jisheng quipped helplessly

"I'm not doing anything yet, you're crying first"

The helplessness in his eyes gradually evolved into a touch of tenderness that could not be dissolved, and even he did not notice it.

Coincidentally, Su Wei picked this vacancy to come in, and what he saw was Su Jili holding Su Jisheng and refusing to let go.

"Ahemβ€”"

"What is this?"

Su Lili raised his head just to meet him, his eyes were as gentle as water, and he forgot to react for a while

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, it's just that it's easy to hope that my brother will come back safely."

"Okay, okay, don't put it aside and make a mess, let the doctor take a good look at your brother"

"Yesβ€”"

Su Jili obediently retreated when he heard this, and did not forget to peek at Su Jisheng again when he left.

Thankfully, he's back.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Since Su Jisheng fell ill, Su Jili has been running more frequently in the house, serving tea, pouring water and delivering food. A while

"Brother, are you hungry, I'll go to the kitchen and get you some pastries"

"I'm not hungry, don't run to the kitchen"

"Brother, then if you are thirsty, I'll pour you a cup of tea"

"No, I just drank it half an hour ago."

"Brother"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Su Jisheng smiled helplessly.

"I don't really need what you're doing here"

"Oh." Hearing this, Su Jili lowered his head and felt a little lonely in his eyes.

"That's it, go find me a book."

Somehow, Su Wei drifted through his mind, asking him to carefully teach Su Jili to read.

The slight gloom in his eyes was gone, and he even stared at him with some excitement

"Whatever...... Pick your favorite."

"Okay"

Looking at the busy Su Zhenli, an unknown emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to his usual gentle smile.

Su Lisa searched for a long time, and finally came with the excerpt of this play.

Looking at the somewhat gaudy drama in the mortal world she was holding, the corners of Su Jisheng's mouth, who was about to follow the temptation, twitched slightly

"That's it, you're happy."

Looking at the drama in front of him, he didn't hear anything outside the window, and Su Jisheng, who only read the books of sages, sighed helplessly.

Thinking that he had almost recovered in the past few days, he said to Su Zhenli, who was staring at her with a smile

"Why don't we go out into the streets?"

"But your injuries."

"No problem"

"But Daddy doesn't necessarily agree"

It's rare for her to be so sensible.

"Then we're sneaking out without him?"

"Well...... it's rare for her brother to take the initiative to invite her out to play, if they go out, her father's side will be difficult to explain. She seemed to be able to see his father's thunderous appearance, besides...... It's also not safe at this time.

Su Jisheng raised his eyebrows at her.

"Good"

In the end, emotion overcame reason, and Su Jili agreed.

So he hid from everyone and went out of the house over the wall one after another.

"One day is better than three autumns, and sorrow is not free"

"It's still fresher outside."

"Brother, I've been stuffy in the house for a long time," Su Jili carefully supported him.

"Yes," Su Jisheng smiled softly, like a soft feather.

The hustle and bustle of the street surrounded them all the time, and there was a rare silence between the two, and they were silent for a while.

Suddenly, Su Jisheng stopped and looked at a baked cake stall not far away.

"Brother is hungry?"

"Hmmm......"

Watching her walk towards the baked cake stall not far away, Su Jisheng put back the smile on his face and turned around to drown in the crowd.

"Boss, let's have a baked cake"

"Okay, you wait"

In view of the lesson last time, Su Jili instinctively glanced back, but was surprised again.

The figure that was supposed to be standing suddenly disappeared.

A bad premonition came to his heart, and Su Jili rubbed his eyes, afraid that he had seen it wrong.

"Maybe my brother was just blocked by the crowd," she thought to herself.

Trying to push through the crowd, Su Jili ran towards the place where his brother was standing just now.

"Eh, girl, your cakeβ€”"

"It's over, it's over" Su Jili had a feeling that he was dying. She hurriedly searched the neighborhood, and when she turned the corner of a small alley, someone suddenly covered her mouth from behind.

"Brother?" I haven't had time to surprise yet

Suddenly there was darkness in front of me.
