Chapter 98: Assassination
On this day, Prime Minister Su Cheng had just gotten off the morning court and went to Luorou's courtyard as usual.
As soon as he pushed open the door, the person with the dishes on the table instantly raised his head, and a touch of surprise crossed his eyes: "Brother Su is back?" ”
Instead, he pinched the corner of his clothes crampedly, "I just cooked the food, and I haven't had time to change my clothes yet." ”
He didn't use her to call herself a concubine, and asked her to call her Brother Su.
Looking at Luo Rou's simple clothes, he was in a trance, as if he was just an ordinary man's husband, eating the soup made by his wife after returning home from a day of work.
There was a touch of tenderness under his eyes, "It's okay, if you haven't changed it, you haven't changed it." He stepped forward and hugged her and buried it in her hair, not the smell of fat powder on Aunt Ruan's body, but the fresh scent of soaphorn mixed with a little firewood.
He closed his eyes slightly, feeling extra familiar and reassured.
"Rou'er, it's good to leave these things to your subordinates in the future, why do you bother so much yourself? I know you want me to eat what you have made, but I can't bear to let you suffer like this. Holding her hand, he rubbed his fingertips against the scar that had been rolled out of the hot oil.
Luo Rou withdrew her hand, turned around and didn't look at him, only leaving him with a perfect side face.
There was a hint of tenderness in her cold eyebrows, and she snorted softly with a hard mouth: "I obviously like to cook, but Brother Su said as if I made it for you." ”
Dulicitude is clearly visible.
And duplicity hides a full heart of care.
Prime Minister Su Cheng's heart was hot, he picked her up from behind, sat on the chair in front of the table, put her on his lap, and wrapped her whole person in his arms with both hands.
"Okay, okay, it's Brother Su's mistake, it's okay to let Brother Su make amends to Rou'er?" He coaxed the upright man in his arms.
Luo Rou didn't speak, just turned her head and snorted coldly.
After these days of getting along, she knew that he liked and was most afraid to see her ignore people.
Because of this expression, she looks most like the prime minister's wife.
Sure enough, he hurriedly picked up the dishes on the table and fed them to her mouth: "Good Rou'er, don't be angry with Brother Su, it's not worth it to be angry, come, you try this fish head, I taste as delicious as before." ”
Luo Rou lowered her eyes slightly, before, it should have been said that the Prime Minister's wife had done it for him before.
What she is doing now is according to the steps left by the Prime Minister's wife, and listening to the old people who taught her, what she did was actually not as good as one-tenth of the Prime Minister's wife.
It's just that...... Looking at the person in front of her who was enshrined as a delicacy, she felt a touch of irony in her heart.
I opened my mouth slightly, and was just about to eat it with chopsticks, when the door suddenly opened.
The person who came hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master, there is an accident on Aunt Ruan's side, and she said that she wants to invite you over to take a look." ”
Hearing this, Prime Minister Su frowned, and his eyes flashed with impatience.
threw the chopsticks in his hand on the table, making a crisp sound, with a little disturbed anger in his voice: "I don't want to go, since the ban is enough to come, she says from time to time that there is something wrong with the child in her belly, but every time something happens, it is clear that she uses her stomach as a disguise, and she is quite a monkey!" ”
The person kneeling on the ground was about to cry, and said tremblingly: "But, I can hear the people in Aunt Ruan's yard say that Aunt Ruan's aunt is different from usual this time......" The voice weakened, paused for a moment, and said stiffly, "This time, I see that I am red, and I have to let the grandmother of the Xiao family from the third lady go over." ”
"See red?" Prime Minister Su was slightly stunned.
He didn't care about Aunt Ruan, but he still cared about the child in her belly.
For a while, he was slightly anxious, and just wanted to stand up, but suddenly found that he was still holding Luo Rou on his lap.
Suddenly, there is a bit of a dilemma.
Luo Rou's heart was transparent, and she got up and said thoughtfully: "This matter is related to the heirs, Brother Su, go quickly, Rou'er will help you go to the third lady's attic, and ask the grandmother of the Xiao family to help Sister Ruan take a look." ”
Prime Minister Su didn't speak for a long time, just stared at her eyebrows for a long time, and finally sighed, patted her hand and said, "When Benxiang comes back in a while, I will definitely compensate you." ”
She hooked her lips and chuckled, as cold and noble as a kaolin flower.
Prime Minister Su was slightly stunned, touched her eyebrows, and then turned to leave.
After his back disappeared completely, a solemnity flashed in Luo Rou's eyes, and he hurriedly went to Yuhua Pavilion.
After the grandmother of the Xiao family was asked to leave by the person sent by the prime minister, after she told Su Qingyu the ins and outs of everything, she asked with some concern: "Aunt Ruan suddenly named and let the grandmother of the Xiao family go over, there will be no conspiracy." ”
Su Qingyu lowered her eyes and pondered, for a moment, and shook her head: "Grandma Xiao's medical skills are superb, she won't be stupid enough to play tricks in front of her, there shouldn't be any conspiracy." ”
"So, is her child really bad?" Luo Rou's eyes crossed with doubt.
Su Qingyu covered the tea cup in her hand, looked out the window and squinted: "To be exact, her child has always been bad," after a pause, she looked at Luo Rou, who was a little puzzled, and reminded seriously, "Aunt Ruan, if you have anything to do with you these days, don't go over, and don't send her anything." And those personal belongings, too, should be put away, so as not to be lost. ”
"Miss is worried that Aunt Ruan will use the child in her womb to harm me?" Her eyelashes trembled, and she hurriedly asked, "It's just why did she do this?" Wouldn't it be better if he got a man in one fell swoop this time? ”
Su Qingyu thought of the deformity in her stomach, and her eyes sank slightly.
But the fewer people who know about these things, the better.
didn't say anything, just looked at Luo Rou and told again, "Just remember what I said." ”
She nodded.
Seeing that the matter was almost dealt with, she raised her eyes to look at the sun outside, got up from her seat and blessed slightly: "Miss, I have been out for a while, so in order to avoid the suspicion of the prime minister, I will go back first." ”
Su Qingyu nodded.
Seeing this, she lifted the curtain and left.
As soon as she walked on her front foot, she came in from Lilo.
Dressed in white, he came against the light, with the golden sunlight shattering the ground under his feet, and his clothes were resolute, with a bit of ethereal ethereal fire that did not eat the world.
His complexion was rarely low, and when he opened his mouth, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"Miss, Vice President Zhou's illegitimate son is dead in prison."
Su Qingyu's heart sank, and he raised his eyes to look: "What's the matter?" Didn't Vice President Zhou let the prison guards take care of him? ”
"I don't know very well, but I heard that Vice President Zhou had already found a stand-in, and just when he was about to replace him, something like this happened." Li Luo shook his head, and was suddenly stunned for a moment, "It seems that someone killed him on purpose, that is, to blame Miss, so that the relationship between Miss and Vice President Zhou will further deteriorate." ”
Who's behind it?
can avoid the eyes and ears of Vice President Zhou of the Criminal Division.
Is it the Pavilion of Sorrow or ......
Inexplicably, a slender figure as weak as a pear blossom appeared in her mind.
Will it be the Dingguo Marquis Mansion?
Just when she was concentrating on thinking, the grandmother of the Xiao family, who had gone to check the pulse, came back, and her always peaceful face was a little heavy.
Bad things always come one after the other.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Su Qingyu settled down first and spoke.
The grandmother of the Xiao family seemed to come back to her senses, looked at her and nodded: "The child in Aunt Ruan's belly is not very good, just a few days." ”
It turned out to be this.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Didn't we expect that? Why is Grandma still slightly worried? As long as we don't stay out of the house these days and don't have any contact with the people over there, Aunt Ruan is grounded, and there is no way to run to me to get some moths. ”
"If only it were that simple." The grandmother of the Xiao family glanced at her and sighed lightly, "Aunt Ruan asked me to tell you, if you want to know the secrets hidden in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you will go to her attic in person at noon tomorrow, and you must be alone." ”
Hearing this, Su Qingyu's eyes crossed a sharp edge.
The secrets of the Prime Minister's Mansion have been tightly guarded, and she only feels that something is wrong, but she doesn't know where the problem is.
But the secret was about the cause of her mother's death, and she had to know it clearly.
So this trip, knowing that it was a trap, she still wanted to go.
It's just that...... Does Aunt Ruan still think she is the isolated and helpless little girl in the past?
Gathering her thoughts, she glanced faintly at Liluo and the Xiao family's grandmother: "Tomorrow, the plan we have buried for so long will be implemented." ”
The eyes flashed slightly, with a bit of treachery.
Liluo and Xiao's grandmother's eyes flashed slightly and nodded.
Seeing this, she hooked her lips.
The three of them, who were ready for everything, did not expect that an incident that happened at night almost disrupted their arrangement.
It's night.
The crescent moon in the sky is like a hook, and if there is a black cloud floating by, it obscures the already small brilliance.
The people in Aunt Ruan's attic were so troubled by the events of the day that they were a little sleepy in the middle of the night.
Even if he was standing, he still couldn't help but bow his head and take a nap.
The caretaker at the back door knew that there had been no accidents in the past, and at this time he was even more lax, and snored directly against the wall.
Suddenly, a lean figure crept in, like a ghost.
Along the way, with extremely light steps, she ran directly to Aunt Ruan's bedroom.
Beware of the maidservant who kept vigil, she slipped through the door like a loach that could not be caught.
Step by step, approach the carved bed with heavy curtains.
Looking at Aunt Ruan's closed eyes, a trace of hatred crossed her eyes, and she raised the dagger in her hand high and stabbed it hard.
The sharp dagger reflected a cold light, which shook Aunt Ruan's eyes, and she woke up in an instant.
watched as someone stabbed her in the stomach.
In the darkness of the night, a terrible scream swept across the sky.
In an instant, the sound of panic and screams was mixed with confused figures.
Warm yellow candlelight lit up from this attic, and gradually spread from this point to the surroundings like a tide.
Su Qingyu has been unwell in recent days, and he had slept lightly, but now he woke up in an instant.
"Oh no, Aunt Hua killed Aunt Ruan!"
Screams could be heard outside.
She was slightly startled, quickly got up and put on her clothes, opened the door curtain and walked out, Xiao's grandmother, Liluo, Ruan Niang and others had also gotten up and walked outside.
