Chapter 12: Hope on the Verge of Collapse Plus, Clotair a pumpkin cart ~~~
Chen's house.
Mrs. Chen walked back and forth in the room restlessly, and the housekeeper couldn't stop comforting her, "Madam, you don't have to worry, the young master will invite Miss Su in a while, you better sit down and rest for a while." ”
But no matter how others comforted her, Mrs. Chen still couldn't settle down and kept looking out.
"Madam, Miss Su is here." The maid outside the door reported.
"Quick...... Please ......," Mrs. Chen said, getting up and running straight to the door.
As soon as Su Baitong entered the door, he almost collided with Mrs. Chen.
"Miss Su!" Without waiting for Su Baitong to take the initiative to salute, Mrs. Chen grabbed her hand, "You are here......" Before she finished speaking, her eyes turned red.
Chen Zhinan and the housekeeper couldn't help but look surprised.
This Miss Su only has a one-sided relationship with Mrs. Chen, so now it seems that they have a good relationship.
"Let's all go out first." Mrs. Chen said.
Su Baitong unhurriedly glanced at the maid Huixiang who followed behind him, and said, "You also go out first." ”
Hui Xiang retreated.
When Mrs. Chen and Su Baitong were left in the room, Mrs. Chen suddenly took Su Baitong's hand, and wanted to kneel down as soon as her knees bent, "Miss Su, can you save me...... Now only you can save me......"
Su Baitong's expression was calm, obviously she had expected Mrs. Chen's move, she reached out and grabbed the other party's arm, "You get up and speak first." ”
Mrs. Chen's hands couldn't stop shaking, "You already knew, right...... Before you left that day, you clearly warned me not to go near the water's edge at night, otherwise there would be a bloody disaster, but I didn't listen to you, I ...... I almost ......," Mrs. Chen trembled and grabbed Su Baitong's hand, "How did you know that something was going to happen to me...... Do you know something? ”
Of course, Su Baitong knew what would happen to Mrs. Chen, she saw a heavy death aura in Mrs. Chen that day, if it weren't for her reminder, Mrs. Chen would have been a dead person now, fortunately with her reminder, she escaped by luck.
However, Su Baitong would not say this.
In the past, she was too ignorant and casually told everything she saw, so she was regarded as a madman, as the so-called heavenly secret cannot be leaked, if it was not for the repayment of Mrs. Chen's favor for saving her, she didn't want to leak the heavenly secret.
"Madame, let's tell me what happened that day." Su Baitong diverted the topic.
Mrs. Chen settled down and said: "On the night I just returned home, someone called me to go to the study, and I had important matters to discuss, so I went, and when I was about to walk to the pool, I suddenly remembered the words you reminded during the day, and I hesitated for a moment, but...... But I didn't know who pushed me behind me and fell into the pool, but fortunately I was far away from the edge of the pool, and when I fell, I grabbed the willow branch next to the pool......"
Su Baitong listened quietly, and saw Mrs. Chen roll up her sleeves, revealing the gauze wrapped around her arms, obviously there were many scratches on her body.
"Fortunately, ma'am, you are safe." Su Baitong showed a faint smile.
"No, no, no...... Miss Su, I'm safe, but the maid next to me ...... Still...... but drowned! Mrs. Chen's face was full of horror, "I first came to Qiliang City, so I didn't know that the maid was actually a common room of our master, and now the people in the house are secretly chewing their tongues, saying that I killed people out of jealousy......"
Mrs. Chen hid her face and wept, "Miss Su, I'm ...... I really didn't kill anyone...... Now only you can help me......"
"How do you want me to help?" Su Baitong looked at Mrs. Chen fixedly.
"You...... Just tell them what you said to me that day......"
"Will they believe it?"
Mrs. Chen was stunned.
A contemptuous smile crossed the corner of Su Baitong's lips, "How many people do you think will believe this kind of thing?" Otherwise, she wouldn't have been regarded as a madman and locked up in the back house for so many years.
"Then what should I do, if the master really divorces me for this, I will only have a dead end." The last glimmer of hope in Mrs. Chen's heart was also shattered.
What should she do, she finally arrived at Qiliangcheng for a family reunion, but this kind of thing happened, who wanted to kill her, and who killed the maid who followed her that night......
"Madam, don't be afraid, I will help you."
Just when Mrs. Chen's heart was in turmoil, a soft female voice suddenly sounded in her ears, she raised her eyes to look at the opposite side, and saw Su Baitong sitting there upright, wearing old clothes, smiling at her lightly.
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but shake her head for a moment.
She had never seen a young lady smile as good as she did.
