Su Tang'an and Gu Tingjun returned to the Qihou Mansion and had dinner with everyone.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a group of moon-watching poems and drinking, after a series of tragic events, the Qihou Mansion finally ushered in a happy and peaceful night, which did not disperse until the second half of the night. Su Tang'an and Gu Tingjun were still resting in Lingyue Pavilion.

"Since Ziwei Palace, you have been avoiding me. Finally, there were only two people left, Su Tang'an sat on the steps and looked at the moon, Gu Tingjun walked over and sat beside her, and said softly.

"No, I don't. Su Juan pretended to be light and said, "I'll avoid what you do." ”

"Don't you think you're happier when you lose your memory?" Gu Tingjun asked.

Only Su Tang'an herself knows that during the time she lost her memory, she had a bad time, guessing her identity all the time, and the feeling of insecurity was like floating in the air and could fall at any time.

Only after she met Gu Tingjun did she get down-to-earth, and she felt that she was light and bright. She has always refused to admit Gu Tingjun's influence on her, but unconsciously, she has become so dependent on him that she feels that this kind of thing cannot deceive people, and she will not be swayed by her own will.

"Really?" said Su Juan lightly.

"The smile on your face was something I hadn't seen in you before. Gu Tingjun said, "This period of time, maybe it can be regarded as the sunshine that seeps into your life, I just hope you can remember the feeling of these months, you must know that you can carry shackles, but your nature is a lively and sincere person, you don't have to live so heavy, you can also live lightly and freely." ”

Su Tang'an raised his eyebrows lightly and said: "Just like you said when I lost my memory, there are not only good memories in my memory, but also heavy shackles, since this shackle is already on my body, how can I easily get rid of it!"

"I can help you. Gu Tingjun held Su Tang in his arms, "I am your father-in-law, you can rely on me as you did when you lost your memory." I will always be by your side. ”

While the two were talking, Su Zixuan suddenly came to Lingyue Pavilion and said, "Orange Le has woken up." ”

"The third sister woke up. Su Ju'an hurriedly got up, "The third sister finally woke up." ”

"Do you want to go over and have a look?" asked Su Zixuan.

"Of course. Su Cheng'an said, "Speaking of which, the matter of Jingci'an has not been resolved yet! Since the reason for the third sister's injury is related to Jingci'an, then she must ask about it." ”

After the words fell, Su Tang'an and Gu Tingjun followed Su Zixuan out of Qihou Mansion and rushed towards the suburbs.

"Did the eldest brother hide the third sister?" Su Ju'an asked as he saw that this route was becoming more and more unfamiliar.

"When Changle wanted to attack Orange Le, I knew that someone wanted to kill people. Su Zixuan said, "So I hid Orange Le early and waited for her to wake up." ”

The carriage walked for about half an hour, and an ordinary farmhouse came, and the three of them got out of the carriage, and two men dressed as villagers stepped forward and said, "Son, Fifth Miss, Uncle, you are here." ”

"How's the situation with the third young lady?" asked Su Zixuan as he walked.

"The third lady just woke up, and Yahuan just gave her some porridge, but she was in a coma for too long, and her body was very weak at the moment. The subordinate said.

"Got it. Su Zixuan said, "You continue to guard the surroundings." ”

"Yes. ”

The three of them entered the farmhouse, and the two maids dressed as village girls stepped forward to salute, and Su Zixuan ordered them to retreat first.

In the bedroom, an oil lamp is lit. Su Chengle was lying on the bed weakly, her face was pale, emaciated, her eye sockets were deep, and she was very haggard.

Hearing the voice, her body stiffened slightly, and then she raised her eyes, her eyes were red, and she called softly: "Big brother......"

"I'm here. Su Zixuan also sighed in his heart, the beauty flower that used to be domineering and domineering was now haggard like this. If Su Liu hadn't made that wrong decision and let her marry the person she liked, maybe she would have lived freely in that beautiful place in Quanzhou, living a beautiful life of worry-free food and clothing.

He took two steps forward, sat on the edge of the bed, held Su Chengle's hand, and sighed softly: "Chengle, you have suffered." ”

Su Chengle slightly hooked his lips and smiled bitterly, and said, "I had a long, long dream, but I couldn't wake up. I wanted to fall into an endless darkness, I wanted to escape but I couldn't, I didn't expect that it had been months since I slept here. When I thought I was going to be in that darkness forever, suddenly a bright light came in, and then I woke up. ”

"It's good to wake up. Su Zixuan held Su Chengle's hand and said.

"Orange Ann, you're here too. Su Chengle raised his eyes and saw that Su Cheng'an and Gu Tingjun were also standing not far away, unconscious for so long, struggling for so long, Su Chengle now has no hatred for anyone, and he feels more cordial when he sees familiar people, "I've slept for so long, you've already married, right?"

Su Tang'an nodded and said, "We got married." ”

"Congratulations. The smile on the corner of Su Chengle's mouth was a little bitter, "I didn't expect that I missed so many things." ”

She paused and asked, "Are you okay at home?"

Su Zixuan was silent for a moment and said, "Your body is still very weak, some things will be talked about tomorrow." ”

"Good. Su Chengle nodded, "Mother, why didn't she come to see me?

"Because someone wanted to kill you, I hid you. Su Zixuan said, "Orange Le, your fall off the cliff is not an accidental accident, but someone did it on purpose." What happened to you before that would have caused someone to kill you?"

Su Chengle's eyes filled with tears, and he thought for a while and said, "That Jingci Nunnery is not a pure place for Buddhism at all, it is the dirtiest place in the world!"

"What do you mean by that?" asked Su Tang'an.

"Jingci'an is a Fengyue place, a brothel in a green house!" Su Chengle said indignantly, "When I first started going, I was in my yard every day, but I didn't find anything unusual happening. Later, I gradually got used to it, so I went out for a walk from time to time, but strangely, every night, a nun stopped me and prevented me from going to certain places, and I gradually began to wonder if this Jingci Nunnery was hiding some secrets. ”

She paused, then continued: "Later, one night I noticed some sounds of silk bamboo coming from a place, and then I saw an adult holding the figure of a woman, the woman was bald, obviously the nun inside. I was surprised that this place was so strange, so I wrote to my eldest sister, hoping that she would take me back, but the few letters sent were in vain. It wasn't until one day later that the head of Jingci'an found me, threw all my letters on the ground, and told me that I would never want to go back for the rest of my life, and told me that I was already a broken flower and a willow, and if I stayed in Jingci'an and seduced a dignitary, I would be able to have a bright future in the future.

Su Chengle gritted his teeth and said: "I naturally refused, but later someone and a few nuns came to persuade me that many of the folk girls who came to the capital for refuge are here, and it is the reward here that allows them to support themselves and their families." Later, I met an acquaintance here, and begged him to bring a letter to my father, and within two days my father sent someone to pick me up.

Her eyes became sad again, and she was silent for a moment and said, "There are still some doubts in this matter, I don't know if the eldest sister is involved." The letter I wrote before, did the eldest sister not receive it or ...... She didn't know anything about it, or did she want to push me into the fire pit......"

"I know everything. Su Zixuan said, "You take a rest first, it's not too early today, and we'll talk about other things tomorrow." You know that the situation may be their motive for wanting to kill you, and until you can no longer guarantee your safety, you can stay here for the time being, and when there is no danger, I will take you back. ”

"Good. Su Chengle nodded, "I think my father and mother, if they are free, let them come and see me." ”

"Let's get some rest. Su Zixuan patted Cheng Le's shoulder and said.

Su Chengle said too much today, and his body was already weak, so he only felt dizzy and drowsy at this moment. Su Zixuan waited for her to say that she had passed, then got up, glanced at Su Tang'an and Gu Tingjun, and said, "Let's go out and talk." ”

"Fang Cai Chengle's words proved that our previous conjecture was not wrong. Su Tang'an said, "The disappearance of the refugee girl that Tingjun has been tracking down is inseparable from Jingci'an. Those folk girls were kidnapped and taken to Jingci Nunnery, where they received the dignitaries who came, and some of them were directly killed by those who disobeyed or resisted, or some of them were tortured to death. ”

"Who would have thought that place would be so inferior!" Su Zixuan frowned, "I'm afraid that Su Changle already knew that there was a problem with Jingci'an, and he had been helping to cover it up, even at the expense of pushing his sister into the fire pit." ”

"During my absence, is the investigation into Jingci'an still continuing?" asked Su Ju'an.

"I've been arranging for people to keep an eye on the Jingci Nunnery. Gu Tingjun said, "But there has been no movement, and nothing unusual has been found." ”

"It's normal that we didn't find anything out of the ordinary, and we already knew what we had found, and we would have known that we would send someone to keep an eye on it. Su Tang'an said, "But I'm afraid that there is already a very complete line of interests here, so it won't be easily broken, I suspect it's just a change of place." ”
