Chapter Forty-Eight: Tearing Face
Su Ningxue stepped into the Su Mansion and first went to Su Lao Taijun's Yishou Garden.
When Weaving and Embroidery heard that she was coming, she was a little surprised. She thought that Su Ningxue had a hard journey and would go back to You Shuyuan to rest first. Mrs. Su nodded, and the people outside the courtyard led them in. When Mrs. Su saw Liu Bucheng, she was also shocked, especially Liu Bucheng did not salute, and went into the house to find a place to sit down leisurely.
"Granddaughter Ning Xue greets her grandmother."
"Su Jin greets the old lady."
"Well, get up." Mrs. Su's eyes fell on Liu Bucheng, Su Ningxue didn't get up, lowered her head and said: "Grandmother forgive me, Ning Xue crawled out of the pool of blood this time, I'm afraid, those people really want Ning Xue's life, so Ning Xue took the initiative and invited him to protect him." β
In one sentence, Liu Bucheng's identity is clear. Mrs. Su was stunned, and said with some displeasure: "What? The people in Su Mansion can't protect you? You'll have to find a stranger outside, you've heard the story of luring a wolf into the house. Moreover, you are a girl's family, and you are followed by a man every day, what kind of system has you become. β
Mrs. Su was unhappy, so she persuaded Weaving and Embroidery: "Miss, you should discuss this matter with the old lady first." Now that they have been brought in, the fame has spreadβ"
Weaving and embroidery mama paused. Liu Cheng was not happy when he heard it, he gave up his life to take the job, how could he be disliked everywhere, he got up with a swish, and before he could say anything, Su Ningxue glared at him.
Mrs. Su is different from Cai's, she and Cai's can't pretend anymore, but Mrs. Su, she has to rely on it for a while.
"Grandmother, it's not that Ning Xue doesn't believe the people in the house, but the people in the house are no longer credible. You know that the man in black who attacked his granddaughter this time, after being inspected by the seventeenth prince, suspected that he was the same group of people as the mountain bandits who were surrounded and suppressed by his father in the early years. Grandmother, they were hired to kill Ning Xue, did you ever think who hired them? β
"What did you say?" Mrs. Su was stunned, what she was thinking about was not who hired them, but, did these mountain bandits appear again, was it really just for Su Ningxue? What if the purpose is Sioux House?
She glanced at Weaving Embroidery, who was busy asking Su Jianwu.
"Grandmother, you wait." Su Ningxue opened her mouth to stop it, Su Lao Taijun looked at her dissatisfied, and when the words of reprimand came to her mouth, Su Ningxue preemptively said: "Grandmother, I understand your worries. But Ning Xue heard that her mother met her father during this encirclement and suppression.
Grandmother, have you ever wondered how there can be such a coincidence in the world? My father has fought countless battles in his life, how many times can he meet women on the battlefield? β
Mrs. Su's eyes sank, and what she thought in her heart began to be different.
Cai's matter is indeed strange, Su Jianwu loved Jia Shuning back then, and he loved heaven and reason. I went out to suppress the bandits and came back and changed, I didn't say anything to Cai's very good, and often showed affection in front of Youjia Shuning, which caused Youjia Shuning to be born prematurely, heartbroken, and invited to live in another garden.
There is another thing that Mrs. Su also finds strange. At that time, mountain bandits were rampant in Jiangxi, but Cai's father, the local Qipin Sesame Official, never reported the incident. It was still this group of mountain bandits who didn't know the height of the sky, and once robbed the imperial merchant by mistake, which led to the later bandit suppression incident.
"What do you mean......"
"Grandmother, Ning Xue doesn't dare to guess at will, but Ning Xue can be sure that this time she bought the bandits, and it must be her mother who wants to take Ning Xue's life." Su Ningxue's words fell, and Su Jin got up and sent the evidence that was given to Su Jianwu last time and ignored by Su Jianwu to Weaving Embroidery.
The weaving embroidery glanced at it first, and then handed it over to Mrs. Su.
"Grandmother, this is the result of the attack on the way back to the house before Ning Xue, and after returning to the Su Mansion, I asked my brother to help investigate. If she dares to do it once, she will definitely do it a second time. β
Mrs. Su's eyes sank. "The heir of the Su family, it's not her turn for an outsider to interfere!"
"Yes, so Ning Xue begged her grandmother to ask her grandmother to give Ning Xue a chance to take revenge."
Mrs. Su hesitated, if Su Ningxue's matter was found out, Su Mansion would also be embarrassed. But if you don't check it...... She thought that over the years, the Cai family had flaunted their might in front of her.
"Okay, you can go and check, but remember, you can't wipe Su Fu's face outside."
"Yes, Grandmother Ning Xuexie." Su Ningxue responded and took Liu Bucheng out of the Yishou Garden with high morale.
When she met Cai's mother and son again on the way to Youshuyuan, the corners of her mouth hooked, and this time she took the initiative to meet them. Cai's mother and son saw that Liu Cheng was a hooligan behind her, and just wanted to avoid it, Su Ningxue was already blocking in front of them.
"Mother, sister, where are you going? How can you hide when you see the snow, how? Afraid that Ning Xue is a ghost to seek revenge? β
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Cai's reprimanded angrily, blocking Su Ningyu behind him, and then thinking about it, Su Ningyu will be the imperial concubine soon, why are you afraid of Su Ningxue such a wild girl.
"Hmph, I think you're good at talking. Just about to have the ability, you hook a man. What's the use of having such a face, in the end, it's not to bow down to my daughter, your sister. β
"Huh." Su Ningxue sneered, and when she saw Su Ningyu suddenly raising her head behind Cai's and pretending to be arrogant, she got closer and said with a smile: "Mother, the eldest prince likes me, you know, right?" You said that if I cry, make trouble, and hang myself, and don't let him marry Su Ningyu, will it work? β
Cai's body stiffened, "You dare!" Yun Yihong's liking for Su Ningxue, she saw it with her own eyes, no wonder she suddenly has no bottom in her heart now.
Su Ningxue smiled, but didn't continue, retreated to the original place, and said: "Whether you dare or not depends on my mother's attitude, if my mother sees me in the future, she is humble and polite, and her attitude is gentle, I may not be in a good mood." β
"You!" How can it be!
Do you want her to bow her head to a wild girl, and be humble and polite? She can't do it!
"Hehehe, then the mother is waiting for the good news. Oh, by the way, and my assassination, my mother has to wipe her ass, it wouldn't be good if she was caught. β
"You!" Cai raised her hand, the slap didn't fall on Su Ningxue's face, Liu Bu's big knife was in front of her wrist, she dared to wave forward, and her hand was useless. She trembled with anger, and she didn't dare to let her hand fall.
"When Lao Tzu is dead, Lao Tzu will work seriously when he receives the money." Liu Bucheng withdrew the knife disdainfully. Su Ningxue smiled, very satisfied with Liu Cheng's reaction speed, just now she was about to slap Cai's back, but now seeing that Cai's was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, she didn't bother to do it again.
The three of them returned to Youshu Garden, and after sitting down for a while, someone from the porter came to report that there was a son surnamed Xuan outside the door looking for Su Ningxue.
"The surname Xuan?" Su Ningxue was stunned, apart from Xuan Yibing here, which one else could she know surnamed Xuan, but she was very surprised that Xuan Yibing would come to the door. instructed Zhishu to arrange a place for Liu Bucheng to live, and then she took Su Jin to the front yard with the porter.
Outside the door, Xuan Yibing was dressed in a light cyan robe, with a light ink landscape on the hem of the clothes, and green bamboo embroidery, he was so anxious to walk back and forth, and the skirt fluttered with it.
"Is something wrong?" Su Ningxue saw that he looked flustered, and asked while stepping out of the threshold. Xuan Yibing's face stiffened slightly, and the moment he saw her, he rushed to her eyes.
"Are you alright? I heard the people in the city spread the word about you, saying that you were covered in blood or something, I thought--" Xuan Yibing was stunned, and he didn't dare to say the rest of the words. When he came to ancient times, he had already died nine times, and he did not forget those days when he hid in the broken yard, starved from day to day, smelled foul odor, and lived like a year.
Meeting Su Ningxue made him see the hope of living again, he was really afraid, afraid that he would become that person who was not a ghost or a ghost again.
"I'm sorry, I've been busy arranging since I came back, and I forgot to report to you." Su Ningxue was slightly apologetic, the concern on Xuan Yibing's face was not as anxious as fake, and she couldn't help lowering her voice.
It was inconvenient to invite Xuan Yibing into the mansion to talk, she raised her hand and motioned for Xuan Yibing to go out for a walk together, and by the way, she also briefly talked about what had happened in Lishan Palace these days.
"I didn't expect that this trip was planned by you, and so many things happened." Xuan Yibing was surprised, Su Ningxue nodded, and she was also shocked in her heart. The development of fate is far beyond her control.
"By the way, how about two shops in the city?"
Xuan Yibing was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face changed again, "The first store has been renovated, you have time to take a look, no problem we will open." The other," he sighed, "it's a bit troublesome, I chose two shops, but the reasons given by both for refusal were the same, and the boss went out and didn't return."
You say it's not strange, how can it be that the owners of the two stores go out at the same time to have something, I suspect that they want to raise the price, I tried twice, but their attitude still remains the same, which makes me a little confused. β
Su Ningxue raised her eyebrows, "Do you have to do these two?" She knew Xuan Yibing, if he wasn't very satisfied, he wouldn't have put so much effort into it.
"It's not that they have to be, it's just that I'm most satisfied with these two now."
Really.
Su Ningxue wrinkled her eyebrows, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow to have a look." It's best if you can talk about it, if you can't talk about it......" Xuan Yibing understood that it was really inappropriate to talk about it, so he could only retreat to the second.
"I know, to be honest, I think it's incredible to be able to open a store here, you can decide on the rest."
The two looked at each other and smiled, Su Ningxue was worried that something would happen if Liu Cheng was left alone in Youshuyuan for too long, so she accompanied Xuan Yibing for a while and went back, Xuan Yibing sent her to Su Mansion, watching her go back alone, and suddenly couldn't help but say, "Hey!" It's so nice to see you come back alive! β
Su Ningxue's footsteps paused slightly, she didn't look back, only waved her hand lightly with her back to him.
She walked into the Su Mansion with her front foot, and Su Jin quickly walked in front of Xuan Yibing with her back foot, and handed a piece of paper to Xuan Yibing's hand, "Master Xuan, this is what Miss wrote earlier that I need you to do, and now that you are here, I don't have to go to you to deliver the letter." β
Xuan Yibing took it, opened it and quickly glanced at it, and then the corners of his mouth hooked up, "You tell her, let her rest assured, it will be done." β
"Yes."
