Chapter 235: The Prodigal Son
In the past few days, only Zhou Zifu's case in the town has been in an uproar.
Su Jiu'er grabbed the towel in her hand and bit her lower lip lightly, she never expected that it would be An Zeqing who sent someone to do it.
Although Zhou Zifu is just a local squire, the power behind him should not be underestimated.
When An Zeqing came here as Lord Qincha, Zhou Zifu also invited him to dinner, and it stands to reason that the relationship between the two of them should be good.
Su Jiu'er thought absentmindedly, thinking that if she got closer and listened, maybe there was something else.
"Squeak."
The sound of branches breaking.
Su Jiu'er looked at the branches under her feet in a panic, annoyed, how could she not even do this little thing.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of her eyes, and the killing intent struck, Su Jiu'er was so frightened that she took a step back, and saw a sharp sword pointed directly at her eyebrows.
Cold sweat broke out behind her, Su Jiu'er's body couldn't help but tremble, and she looked at the man in black wearing a mask in front of her in panic.
It should have been this man in black who was talking to An Zeqing just now.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Su Jiu'er heard An Zeqing's voice, "Let her go." ”
"Yes, master." The man in black immediately withdrew the long sword in his hand and moved behind An Zeqing in an instant, without worrying that Su Jiu'er would escape.
An Zeqing was much thinner than before, and his lips did not have a trace of blood, and he was pale and frightening.
Su Jiu'er took a step back, looked away from An Zeqing's face, and turned her head to look at the ground, "I just passed by unintentionally." ”
"You ......" tears soaked his eyes, An Zeqing looked at Su Jiu'er, his heart was like a knife, and he choked up with his voice.
He wanted to ask, how is she doing?
But looking at Su Jiu'er's red face now, how could he have a bad time?
Over the years, An Zeqing has tried to forget Su Jiu'er again and again, but some people have long been engraved in his heart and lingered.
Unless, he doesn't want his heart, can he remove Su Jiu'er from his world.
However, can people live without heart?
Su Jiu'er listened to An Zeqing's voice and felt a little wrong, but what happened to him had nothing to do with her.
"I didn't hear anything just now, I'll go first." Su Jiu'er was too lazy to stand with An Zeqing, not to mention, she was even more afraid that the man in black would kill her with a sword.
She didn't take revenge, and she still regretted her life.
Before she could take two steps, her arm was grabbed.
The hand that held her arm was as cold as ice, as cold as ice taken out of an ice cellar.
Su Jiu'er stopped her steps, leaned slightly, and looked at An Zeqing's affectionate eyes, and she had already scolded An Zeqing in her heart.
Stretching out her hand and pushing away An Zeqing's hand, Su Jiu'er straightened her clothes, lowered her eyes slightly, and her expression seemed to be very respectful, "Don't you know that men and women don't kiss?" ”
In spring, a peach blossom fluttered in the wind and fell onto Su Jiu'er's bun, adding a bit of brightness to the whiteness.
People are more beautiful than flowers.
An Zeqing looked at Su Jiu'er's face attentively, if he didn't look at it more, he was afraid that he would never see it again in the future.
Su Jiu'er hadn't heard An Zeqing's voice for a long time, her brows furrowed unhappily, and when she looked up, she saw An Zeqing staring at her uprightly.
She felt that she was a fool, and she even wanted to be polite to An Zeqing.
"Smack!"
Five slender anthurium prints instantly appeared on An Zeqing's pale face, and he turned his head to the side decadently.
"The Prodigal Son!" Su Jiu'er said angrily, turned around and left.
The spring breeze blows slightly, waking up the flowers in the garden.
The slightest wisp of fragrance reached his nose, and An Zeqing's amber eyes looked at Su Jiu'er's back in disappointment.
Su Jiu'er didn't expect An Zeqing to be in the garden, but Mama Lin didn't have a chance to do it.
However, she also knew that she was not in a hurry about this matter, and when An Zeqing would definitely go back to the house for dinner, it would not be too late for Mama Lin to do it.
Soon, it was noon, and Su Jiu'er began to gather the people in the kitchen to start cooking.
Because there were many people in the town for a banquet today, and there were not enough maids in the house, Su Jiu'er rented a few maids from Renyazi to come over to help.
There is another reason why she got so many maids, that is, it is convenient for Mama Lin to do it, even if this matter is investigated, it is impossible to find who did it.
During the meal, Su Jiu'er's heart was raised in her throat, and she thought about when An Zeqing would die.
Just when Su Jiu'er couldn't hold back and wanted to go to the outer house to have a look, Mama Lin walked in from the outside in an orderly manner.
"Ma'am." Mama Lin came to Su Jiu'er's side, lowered her voice, and shouted respectfully.
"How's it going?" Su Jiu'er reached out and pinched the handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"People are always trying it." Mama Lin lowered her head very guiltily, she felt very guilty that she couldn't help Su Jiu'er.
Hearing Mama Lin say this, Su Jiu'er paused and nodded clearly, "I know, you go down and get busy." ”
Mama Lin responded with a "yes" and retreated in a proper manner.
Su Jiu'er thought about it, in this case, An Zeqing would definitely take some measures for his own safety.
Su Jiu'er's movement of wiping her mouth gradually slowed down, and the disappointment in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by joy.
Since An Zeqing killed Zhou Zifu, then they must have a handle to stay, as long as Gu Feng can find evidence, they can convict An Zeqing.
Su Jiu'er gradually became happy, and she was also in the mood to talk to the ladies around her about some fancy clothes and jewelry.
At night, Su Jiu'er washed up early and went to bed, lying on the bed, looking down at the book on the pillow.
She saw Gu Feng's favorite military book on weekdays, so she took it over and took a look, and the things in it were not what she liked.
Gu Feng took a bath and walked in from outside, and was slightly surprised when he saw Su Jiu'er reading, and when he walked over to see the book Su Jiu'er was reading, he was slightly surprised in his heart, and asked with a smile, "Don't you like to read this kind of book on weekdays?" ”
Su Jiu'er turned her head and saw Gu Feng sitting down on the edge of the bed, sat up with a smile, held Gu Feng's military book in her hand, and said with a smile, "I just want to see what kind of books you read on weekdays." ”
"It's all men watching." Gu Feng took off his shoes and went to bed, pulled the quilt to cover his body, lay on the bed with Su Jiu'er, and said with a smile, "I'll go back and ask someone to help you find miscellaneous notes, I remember which ones you like the most." ”
Su Jiu'er put the book in his hand into the bed, and drilled into Gu Feng's arms, feeling the temperature of his body, and his cold heart was also warmed.
"I've heard people say today that the military book is very useful, not only when arranging troops, but also on weekdays." Su Jiu'er pretended to be absent-minded and said, her beautiful phoenix eyes secretly aimed at Gu Feng.
Gu Feng pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly, "That's right, I've heard that many people use the content of military books to make money. ”
"Still making money?" As if she had heard something unbelievable, Su Jiu'er stared at Gu Feng with a pair of eyes without blinking, and asked suspiciously.
"That's natural, it can be used to do business, deal with messy things at home, or do some secret ......" Gu Feng's words stopped and didn't continue.
Actually, he hoped that Su Jiu'er would always be so simple.
"I overheard a man in black talking to Lord Qincha today, saying that the corpse had been disposed of, and I don't know what that meant." Su Jiu'er chattered and seemed to be very puzzled.
Gu Feng's expression was stunned, and his originally smiling face instantly became serious, "What corpse?" ”
"I don't know." Su Jiu'er said innocently, and rubbed her body into Gu Fengdi's arms, "Xu I heard it, after all, how could Lord Qincha know the law and break the law?" ”
Gu Feng didn't speak, just grabbed Su Jiu'er's body, he was very glad that Su Jiu'er was not discovered......
If what Su Jiu'er said is true, it means that An Zeqing really killed Zhou Zifu.
At the beginning, he also wanted to kill Zhou Zifu behind his back, but Zhou Zifu's identity was really too special to do it casually.
"You don't have to tell others about this." Gu Feng told Su Jiu'er uneasily.
An Zeqing is a selfish person who will definitely sacrifice others for his own interests.
Su Jiu'er yawned and said vaguely, "I naturally know this, I'll just tell you." ”
Gu Feng was afraid that Su Jiu'er was thinking something messy at night, so he directly pulled Su Jiu'er to exercise.
On the second day, Su Jiu'er didn't know when Gu Feng left the room.
Su Jiu'er deliberately said that last night, just to let Gu Feng go to check An Zeqing, but An Zeqing had already taken care of everything, but he didn't know if Gu Feng could find out anything.
This matter is no longer out of her control, Su Jiu'er was lying on the bed, unwilling to even move, and her body was so tired.
If it weren't for the Zhao family coming to her, maybe Su Jiu'er would have to lie down on the bed for a while.
Zhao sat next to Su Jiu'er with Yangyang in his arms, and looked at Su Jiu'er with a smile, "Early this morning, Yangyang has to come to you, I can't coax it." ”
Su Jiu'er took Yangyang from Zhao's arms, and teased the child in her arms with a smile, "Mother, in fact, it's good to hand over Yangyang to them." ”
"What's the matter?" Zhao disagreed with Su Jiu'er's words very much, and corrected them seriously, "Children still have to be more good with their own mothers, and they will be filial to you when they grow up in the future." ”
Su Jiu'er smiled, what Zhao said was not reasonable.
"Your father and I plan to go back to the countryside." Zhao said, looking at Yang Yang reluctantly, holding Yang Yang's little hand, "You'd better watch the child in person, if Yang Yang makes a mistake, it's too late for you to regret it." ”
"What can go wrong, I am very relieved that there are three maids to take care of him at the same time." Su Jiu'er is telling the truth, after all, something like Xiaoqiu won't happen.
Zhao's brows tightened, and he was a little speechless, "Don't you know how important this kid is, there are so many people ...... now"
When Zhao said this, Su Jiu'er was stunned.
