Chapter 60: Secret

"You'll know at night." Su Qingyu lowered his eyes slightly, and his pretended profound tone made his heart furry slightly.

The clouds in the sky are rolling in the clouds, and the white clouds and dogs are unpredictable. As time passed, the sky gradually turned red and full of clouds, reflecting the bright red sunset, marking a bit of desolation. The setting sun was like a man who struggled to land, but had to fall, and after all, in the darkness that spread more and more, the sky finally darkened.

It was night, the crescent moon was like a hook, and the light was very weak.

A ghostly black shadow quickly passed over the beam, and the guards saw it, only to think that they were sleepy, and an apparition appeared.

Soon, the black shadow clinged to a delicate attic like a gecko, and in the middle of the action, it slightly drove the wind chimes under the corners of the curved eaves, and the sparse and light sound stirred up was particularly long in the wind.

"Is this it?" The dark shadow spoke lowly, with caution in his voice that was afraid of being discovered.

At this time, a small head came out of his chest, Su Qingyu looked at the scenery in front of him, nodded, and pointed to a place with his finger by the way: "Let's go over there." ”

If she remembered correctly, it was Aunt Nguyen's private treasure trove.

Although it was close to her bedroom, it was very close, but at night, the defense would be more or less weak. So with the separation, it shouldn't be a big problem for them to sneak in.

It's not that she is willing to be this gentleman, it's just that she really wants to know what Aunt Ruan took from the Prime Minister's wife.

Although it is true that the dowry of the prime minister's wife is piled up in their dilapidated attic and no one touches, this is only on the surface. As for rare things such as Danxi Pills, if it weren't for the Xiao family's grandmother, she really wouldn't know.

In a moment, they unknowingly put down a few guards and found a treasure trove that was heavily guarded.

However, looking at the locked door in front of them, the two glanced at each other, and Su Qingyu's eyes crossed a look of embarrassment.

"W-who?" Suddenly, a somewhat trembling voice sounded behind them. When I turned around, I saw a frightened handmaid standing not far away, "Come ......"

Before she could open her mouth to call someone, Liluo frowned, and instantly came behind her, and a hand knife stuned her.

When it hits the ground, the sound of the metal piece falling to the ground is particularly crisp.

Su Qingyu followed the prestige, and a string of polished copper keys reflected the faint moonlight, which was particularly conspicuous in the darkness.

There was a gloom in her eyes, and she stepped forward lightly, picked up the key in her hand and looked at it for a while, and then she took out the key that seemed to be the most ordinary. Walking to the door of the Treasure Pavilion, she gently buttoned it, and the sound of the lock snapping and undoing came to her ears.

Liluo had already hidden the woman who had been put down earlier, and when he came over, he just happened to see the door that had been opened.

The two of them took advantage of the situation, but they didn't want to, and the gold and silver belongings in their sight made Su Qingyu's eyes widen slightly.

Ordinary gold and silver belongings were spread all over the floor by the owner without care, piled up in the corner and left no one caring, which was extravagant. The antique shelves are full of ceramic agate, precious medicinal materials, and there are many celebrity paintings on the walls, which are quite elegant.

Although it was not a big place, she was still slightly surprised by what it contained. Because this is just a private treasury of concubines from commoners.

Prime Minister Su Cheng was born in a poor family, and he has no background, and he is also honest on weekdays, for a concubine, it is impossible to give so much property, and he can't give it.

Could it be that she sold women to Qinglou for the proceeds? Or...... Prime Minister Su's incorruptibility is just an illusion. Frowning slightly, a hint of thought crossed her eyes.

Let's find out if she has anything about the Prime Minister's wife here. After temporarily suppressing the doubts in her heart, she beckoned Liluo to search with her.

Aunt Ruan is not short of gold and silver, so what she can get from the Prime Minister's wife must be as rare as Danxi Pill.

Narrowing down the target, the two quickly flipped the place over. However, nothing of value was found.

Su Qingyu felt a little regretful in his heart, his eyes swept around, and he unconsciously asked the people around him: "If it were you, where would you put some rare and rare things?" ”

"Anyway, it won't be in a private treasure that everyone knows," Liluo said lightly, his eyebrows and eyes like ink paintings with a bit of otherworldly indifference, "If it were me, important things would definitely be with me." ”

Hearing this, her eyes flashed slightly, and she turned her head to look at Liluo and smiled: "Since we are here tonight, we can't go home empty-handed, why don't I take you to visit the boudoir?" There was a hint of ill-will in his words.

Liluo's face was slightly stiff, without any expression.

Seeing this, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, he thought, is her guard really good? The feeling of sullenness in my heart suddenly became much less.

However, when the two cautiously approached Aunt Ruan's bedroom, Su Qingyu couldn't laugh.

"What about people?" She looked at the empty bed, and there was a dullness in her eyes.

Aunt Ruan is now pregnant, and the fetus has not sat firmly, she should know the importance that Cheng attaches to her belly.

So don't say that in the dark night, even if she goes out during the day, she should be hugging each other for fear of making a mistake.

But now, looking at the defense in the attic, she should just go out alone.

What is she going to do?

Glancing to the door that had not been closed closely, there was a figure shrouded in a cloak downstairs, and after looking around like a thief, she hurriedly disappeared into the dark woods.

Could it be Aunt Ruan?

Seeing this, Su Qingyu hurriedly patted Liluo, pointed to the place where the figure disappeared, lowered his voice and said eagerly: "Quick, go there, follow that figure!" ”

Without saying much, after holding her waist with one hand, the whole person flew down from the tall building, silently and as fast as lightning, like a ghost out of the night.

The figure protected the lower abdomen and did not go far. So when they landed, they saw the man at a glance.

Su Qingyu watched the figure in front of her step on the small road in the house, skillfully avoiding the defenses in the house, like a cunning fox, as if she would disappear without paying attention in the next moment, she hurriedly signaled with her eyes to follow behind.

However, after going around and around, the figure came to a place she never expected, that is, the Buddhist hall where the Prime Minister's wife had stayed for more than ten years.

However, because of the death of the prime minister's wife, the Buddhist hall was a lot deserted, and no one else set foot on weekdays except for the two servant girls who were swept away.

She stood outside the Buddha hall, looking at the simple and dilapidated Buddha Hall in front of her, and a strong resistance subconsciously rose in her heart, hitting her soul. It seems that one more look can make her vomit.

Countless times, she had hoped that the people inside would open the door, caress her cheeks with warm hands, protect her, and gently tell her that everything has a mother.

However, when her sister had a high fever that did not go away, but she couldn't find the doctor under Aunt Ruan's deliberate embarrassment, she begged to come to this door and begged the prime minister's wife to remember a little flesh and blood affection and help her sister.

However, she knelt for a long time in the heavy rain, and all she got was her cold words, life and death were up to heaven. That time, I don't know if it was because of the rain, she only felt cold to the bone.

Later, when she contracted smallpox and was swept out of the prime minister's mansion to die, she never came forward to say a word.

Even though my sister kowtowed a lot in front of her door, blood flowed all over the ground. She still didn't open the door, but ordered her sister to be thrown away like waste, saying don't let the blood stain her Buddha Pure Land, dirty.

As if, they were not her daughters, but just strangers who had nothing to do with each other. And she, from beginning to end, just watched her sister's suffering.

Li Luo quietly looked at the person beside him who frowned and reacted violently, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, "Let's go in." A soft voice came into his ears, "Otherwise, we will follow him at this last moment." ”

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Su Qingyu's expression faint, as if he had gathered his thoughts in a moment.

He lowered his eyes slightly, covering the thoughts in his eyes, and with a breath of the person who was as light as a feather beside him, he gently floated into the dark Buddha hall.

There were no expected sesame oil lamps in the empty Buddhist hall, only a candle that was precarious in the wind, and it was not even lit in the corner.

The tall Buddha statue with a compassionate smile, sitting on the high desk with an orchid finger, is a little weird in this bright or dark candle flame.

In front of it, there were two figures, one kneeling and one standing.

Su Qingyu and Liluo hid in the dark and looked at the two quietly.

"You're here." The person kneeling on the ground spoke lightly, and his emaciated figure was particularly endearing.

Hearing this familiar voice, Su raised her eyebrows slightly. Isn't this Aunt Hua who was just released under Aunt Ruan's plea? After all, it was the person who "educated" her for more than ten years, how could she not remember her voice.

A slight smile curled into her mouth, and she looked away at the man who was standing. If I guessed correctly, Aunt Ruan came out at night to talk to Aunt Hua about something.

At this moment, the standing man lowered the hat that had shrouded her entire face.

After seeing the face of the person in front of him, Su Qingyu felt a sigh in his heart, because the person in front of him was not Aunt Ruan, but just one of her personal maidservants.

What about Aunt Ruan? Since she didn't come here, where did she go? Looking at the person in front of her, her brows furrowed tightly.

"Aunt Hua is really a smart person, my master is just a superficial mention, you know that she is waiting here." The servant girl raised her chin slightly, and glanced condescendingly at the kneeling man on the ground.

Aunt Hua, who was kneeling on the ground, smiled lightly, her haggard face was inlaid with a pair of bright eyes, which were particularly sharp: "You can't be in such a hurry to give me a horse, how I was imprisoned by the prime minister at that time, you don't know." ”

She slowly stood up and patted the slightly dirty skirt that was kneeling: "Don't forget how the prime minister's wife died, compared to your master, I am just an accomplice." ”

"Shut up!" The servant girl hurriedly lowered her voice and threatened, her eyes were slightly nervous, "Even so, you don't have anything to do with it, now that the third lady is in charge of the family, not only has the help of Xiao Ling, the criminal department, but also has a lot of involvement with His Royal Highness King Rin, it is no longer as good as it was at the beginning, aren't you afraid that after she knows the cause of her mother's death, she will seek revenge on you?" ”

"Revenge?!" Aunt Hua laughed under her breath for a moment as if she had heard some funny joke, and then suppressed the sarcasm in her eyes, "Will you avenge a man who designed you to contract smallpox?" ”
