Chapter 33: Interrogation
When Su Jianwu came back, Cai was sitting at the table wearing a shirt and had not yet slept.
"Why don't you sleep so late?" Su Jianwu pushed the door in, it was a little windy at night, he hurriedly turned around and closed the door, and the Cai family had already gotten up to greet him.
"You haven't come back yet, I'm a little unsure, I just want to wait a little longer."
Su Jianwu raised his eyebrows, "It's okay, Shen Zhiyou will explain to the noble concubine when he has the opportunity, and besides, let Yu'er be more low-key and go out less during this time." When something has passed, no one remembers. ”
"Hmm." Cai nodded, didn't say much, waited for Su Jianwu to change clothes, freshen up, and seemed to lean on Su Jianwu's arms, her heart was settled, and she couldn't help but sigh.
Su Jianwu hadn't fallen asleep yet, and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, you sigh so much, I guess I won't listen to you, don't think about sleeping tonight." ”
"Sir." Cai Shi snorted at him, but continued his words: "It's not that I can't tolerate people, when I took Ning Xue back, I was the first to mention it." This girl has a hard life, she is a young lady from our Su Mansion, but she lives the life of a poor person, I can't bear it, so I mentioned bringing her back.
Besides, Zhe'er has a cold temperament, I have raised him for so many years, and he is not close to me, nor is he estranged. I thought that if my sister came back to be his companion, he might be gentler.
But now you can see that Ning Xue obviously doesn't like me. I asked about Yu'er's clothes today, and I gave that set of clothes to Ning Xue, and Ning Xue sent it to Jinxiufang to remake and gave it to Yu'er silently. You said, I have taken care of Yu'er all these years, Zhe'er, why has something gone wrong and been disturbed by her like this...... Hey"
Cai sighed again. Su Jianwu's brows frowned unconsciously, he didn't expect that the clothes were deliberately given to Su Ningyu by Su Ningxue, this girl's mind is really so deep?
"Speaking of long things, you asked me to deal with it properly, and I gave it penniless, and it was solved. But turn your head, Ning Xue is in the city, you know how much the moon silver is, and you also know how much it costs to buy a shop in Jingling City. Where did she get all that money? You said that she didn't collude with the Taoist, and you said that I would believe it, but the question is, sir, can you believe it? ”
The more Cai thought about it, the more chilled he became, he turned his head, and simply slept with his back to Su Jianwu, sobbing low without a sound.
Su Jianwu was stunned, at least in the matter of the Taoist, he thought that the Cai family was wronged, so he raised his hand and pulled her back into his arms.
"Okay, I'll go to her tomorrow and ask, if it's really as you said, our Su Mansion can't accommodate people with such a heavy mind."
"Master......" Cai Shi drooped his eyelids, as if he couldn't bear it, but the words of intercession were not said after all.
Early the next morning, Su Jianwu stepped into Youshuyuan, Su Ningxue happened to run back in the morning, she was a little surprised to see Su Jianwu so early, but it was expected. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she lowered her sleeves and trouser legs, and walked over calmly.
"Father, is there something wrong with coming here so early?"
Su Jianwu stared at the top of Su Ningxue's head, a newly bloomed weeping begonia, the petals were still the most delicate color, the dew fell on the petals, all the way down, hanging on the pointed end, and the dripping remained.
It's as if it's all back to years ago.
"Father hasn't stepped into Youshuyuan for a long time."
Su Jianwu was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly withdrew his flowing gaze, "I planted every flower and grass here for her, she is the best woman in the world, she deserves everything beautiful in the world, but it's a pity that ......" Su Jianwu sighed softly.
"No matter how much I give her, she won't be the person she expects after all."
"Why did my father say that?" Su Ningxue was puzzled, Su Jianwu shook his head helplessly, and then pulled the topic back.
"Coming today, my father wants to ask you, but you deliberately did it about yesterday's clothes?"
"Why did my father ask?" Su Ningxue smiled lightly, and then without waiting for Su Jianwu to answer, she continued: "Mother said it, right?" My mother said that it was a dress for me, but it turned out to be on Su Ningyu's body. ”
Su Jianwu nodded slightly, and Su Ningxue said, "Then dare to ask my father, did I force Su Ningyu to wear it yesterday?" ”
"The clothes are mine, and it is true that I asked Su Jin to send them to Jinxiufang for remake, and then gave them to Su Ningyu. From beginning to end, I never let Su Ningyu wear it to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and now my father comes to ask me, don't you think it's a little inappropriate? ”
Su Jianwu was stunned, he really didn't think much about it when he heard Cai's say that yesterday. Because he didn't cause a catastrophe, he didn't go to his heart.
But now that Su Ningxue is like this, it is indeed reasonable, Cai's is right to give her clothes, why is it wrong for her to give them to Su Ningyu?
"How do you explain the matter of the Taoist priest? Don't tell your father about the shop in Jingling City, you saved up money to buy it. ”
This matter is what really makes Su Jianwu mind. The matter of asking the Taoist priest to do the Fa made a big noise in Jingling City, and he blamed Cai's head for this matter, and Su Lao Taijun also had a lot of opinions about Cai's because of this matter, which made him upset.
Now that he knows that Su Ningxue has done the ghost, thinking about how angry he has been in the past few days, he can't suppress his anger.
"Father, Rong Ningxue asked you about it again, you went into battle to kill the enemy, if you know that the enemy army is going around to the rear of the barracks and preparing for a sneak attack, do you continue to move all the way forward, or do you transfer troops to turn back and catch the other party off guard?"
Su Jianwu was stunned, he didn't expect Su Ningxue to ask such an obvious question, and it was also the arrangement of troops that he was good at.
"As my mother guessed, the money for my shop was given by the Taoist chief, and we discussed it long before the Taoist entered the mansion to do so, and I would help him earn more money, and he was willing to split the account with me."
"You! Do you know how much trouble you have caused to Su Mansion with such a fuss! ”
Hearing Su Ningxue admit that Su Jianwu was furious, Su Ningxue smiled, but said indifferently: "Just like the question I just asked my father." I already knew that my mother had bribed the Taoist priest to calculate me and drive me out of Su Mansion, you said, can I sit still and wait for death? ”
Su Jianwu was stunned again, "You said your mother was going to drive you out of Su Mansion?" The voice was full of surprise.
Su Ningxue was not surprised at all, if the Cai family couldn't coax Su Jianwu, she would feel strange.
"Father believes it or not. The chief of the road accepted fifty taels of silver from his mother, and should have decided that I was an unknown person on the day of the practice, and that I was not fit to stay in the house. I approached the Taoist in advance, but I just negotiated a deal with him that would not lose me or him. ”
It's not a loss to them, but it disturbs the peace of Su Mansion, and makes Su Mansion a laughing stock for others after dinner.
"How did your mother teach you to be like this?"
When he said this, a touch of heartache appeared on Su Jianwu's face, and it also made Su Ningxue realize that this 'mother' was not referring to Cai's, but her biological mother Youjia Shuning.
In her last life, she occasionally heard people mention that Youjia Shuning was arrogant, and she didn't bother to do such things all her life, let alone worry about people like Cai, and she did it step by step.
When she left, she guarded a pure land, guarded her own bearing, and was also disappointed in Su Jianwu.
"My mother will not teach me to be like this, but I see my mother and my mother wash my face with tears every day, but I am distressed, I understand, no matter how good the talent is, what is the use of paying more sincerity, if you can't even protect yourself, what will be lost will be everything that belongs to you."
"Oh, sincerely." Su Jianwu chuckled lightly and wanted to turn around and leave, but Su Ningxue suddenly raised her voice and said, "Father! Ning Xue is bold, let me ask you again, why is my father only my mother alone all these years? Shouldn't the house recruit some concubines and have a room? ”
"I can't afford it." Su Jianwu replied impatiently. Su Ningxue said: "Since my father can not like it or dislike it, he will not marry one more person." Why do you think that your mother is not sincere to you? If you don't have sincerity, why are you willing to give birth to your brother, why do you have to endure all the hardships to raise me? ”
Su Jianwu paused, as if he was stopped by Su Ningxue, and seemed to never dare to believe the guess in his heart.
After a long time, he turned around and asked with great difficulty: "Has she ever mentioned me all these years?" ”
From the first time he saw Su Ningxue, he wanted to ask, and he finally couldn't help asking. How did Su Ningxue know who Youjia Shuning had mentioned in those years, but Cai's playing the emotional card with her, she had to pull Youjia Shuning out for a walk.
"What's the use of mentioning, mentioning. Fathers, wives and children are together, how can they care about the suffering of our orphans and widows. My father blamed my mother for not teaching me well, but I blamed my father for being too partial, and I had to worry about whether my words and deeds were appropriate. ”
Su Jianwu was shocked by Su Ningxue's words, and his face changed slightly. Su Ningxue sniffed, raised her head, tried to swallow back the tears that were about to fall, and said in a slightly choked voice: "My father has been back these days, have you ever asked me how I am doing?"
Did I have a smooth journey before I got back to Sioux House? Safe and sound? During the days I lived in Su Mansion, did I get the care I deserved?
My grandmother came back in time, and if it was a little late, it was unknown whether I would be able to see my father now.
My father only cares about helping others get justice, but have you ever thought that I am also your own daughter, have I also been wronged? ”
The words stopped at the point, Su Ningxue knew that there was enough information for Su Jianwu today, as long as Su Jianwu still had a little sincerity about Youjia Shuning, he would definitely go to ask Su Lao Taijun about it, and even find someone to investigate her life in the countryside, or what happened after she came to Su Mansion.
Tears couldn't stop falling, Su Ningxue didn't sobble like Cai's, she just endured it, breathing heavily, trying to make herself look less pitiful, but this scene fell in Su Jianwu's eyes, but it made him feel distressed.
He is indeed eccentric!
"I will investigate these things again, and if I get evidence, whether it is your fault or your mother's fault, I will give you an explanation."
"Okay." After Su Jianwu finished speaking, Su Ningxue nodded hurriedly, with surprise in her eyes and gratitude to Su Jianwu. This made Su Jianwu, who came to question her early in the morning, very uncomfortable, and hurriedly said, "I still have to go to the court", and turned to leave.
"Miss." In the house, Su Jin, who was waiting for Su Ningxue to finish the play, walked to her side in time and wiped the tears on her face with a silk scarf.
"The slave maid has been by the young lady's side for many years, how can I not know that the lady has mentioned the master."
"Hey, Su Jin, you can't talk nonsense. My mother didn't mention it, maybe she thought about it. Su Ningxue snatched the silk scarf and warned Su Jin while wiping it herself. With a smile on his face, he really couldn't see the sadness and loneliness just now.
