Chapter 162: No Choice

Su Shi was jogging in the morning.

When the first rays of sunlight hit the earth, Su Shi had already woken up, and then started his morning jog as usual.

But today it was different because there was one more person next to him.

Lin Mo followed him like Su Shi's shadow.

Since the last time Su Shi ran out of the General's Mansion, as long as Su Shi walked out of the General's Mansion, no matter where he went, Lin Mo would follow closely.

Today, Su Shi ran slower than ever, not because of his physical exhaustion, but because his head was constantly thinking about things.

When he jogged to the back door of the General's Mansion, he suddenly slowed down, and finally stopped slowly, looking lonely at the weeping willows in the distance, the riverbank under the willows, and the green water by the riverbank.

Three days ago, he set out from here and met Pei Hyun, and then the trajectory of his life in Daqian completely changed.

In the past, whether it was the haunting incident of the Red Plum Pavilion, the accidental death of Cui Peng, or the case of the crown prince, he only provided analysis and conclusions, and never thought of really getting involved.

Even if he is the crown prince, it is just a name in his mind.

If it weren't for his eldest brother Su Zhou being caught in it, he wouldn't even bother to move his head for these things.

However, after meeting Bae Hyun, his thoughts changed a lot, and he had to move, and as long as he moved, he couldn't stop.

Because Pei Hyun's revenge is not just as simple as killing people and venting hatred, but to plunge Daqian into turmoil. Su Shi even suspected that it was not Pei Hyun's ultimate goal to let Daqian fall into turmoil.

At this time, Su Shi suddenly had a strange thought: If he didn't go to see Pei Hyun that day, what kind of life would he have now?

He went to see Pei Hyun, was it the providence that Pei Hyun said?

Thinking of this, Su Shi sighed, he found that after seeing Pei Xun, not only did he change the trajectory of his life, but even his thoughts seemed to change a lot. Because in the past, I would never have such a ridiculous idea.

Seeing Su Shi standing silently on the side of the road with a gloomy expression, Lin Mo also stopped, but he didn't have so much emotion, and he only had Su Shi in his eyes.

Because the eldest son has already given a death order, he must protect the second son's thoughtfulness.

So he can die, but the second son must not have anything to do.

Now he was a little worried, because the second son seemed to be in a very depressed mood now.

However, his worry did not last long, and when Su Shi stretched his waist and continued to run forward, his pace was obviously much faster than just now.

Back at the General's Mansion, Su Shi sat in the study and waited after breakfast. waited until the end of noon, and Lin Mo finally took Zhou Jin's maidservant Lan'er to the study.

As soon as Lan'er walked into the study, she said, "Lan'er has seen Su Gongzi. ”

Su Shi said with a smile: "Miss Lan'er doesn't need to be polite, it's annoying for the girl." ”

After saying that, her eyes fell on the wooden box in her hand.

Lan'er smiled, put the wooden box on the desk, and her voice as crisp as Yinling sounded: "Her Royal Highness the princess ordered the slave maid to hand it over to the prince, and there were twenty-five silver tickets and two books in it. The book records what industries are under the names of the two princes, and which princes, ministers, and wealthy families are involved in each industry. ”

Su Shi hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Miss Lan'er." ”

Seeing that the matter had been completed, Lan'er saluted Su Shi again and said, "Since the things have been handed over to Su Gongzi, the slave and maid should also go back to resume their lives, and Lan'er will leave." ”

Su Shi nodded and ordered, "Brother Lin, send Miss Lan'er." ”

Lan'er was about to walk out of the study, when she suddenly looked back at Su Shi, and asked again, "Does Master Su have any message to bring to Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

Su Shi was slightly stunned, then thought about it seriously, and said slowly: "Please tell Her Royal Highness the princess that Miss Lan'er doesn't have to be in a hurry, there will be another spring." ”

Lan'er silently wrote down these two sentences, and then followed Lin Mo out of the General's Mansion.

Lin Mo went out and returned again not long after, but he followed behind one person with a respectful expression.

As soon as Su Shi looked up, he saw that although Qin Nan had a slight hint of shame on his face, his eyes were shining, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he kept looking at him.

Seeing Qin Nan, Su Shi was both a little surprised and surprised, and hurriedly stood up to greet him, asking, "Why are you here?" ”

Qin Nan watched Su Shi get closer and closer, she was flustered in her heart, and hurriedly handed him the wooden box in her hand, and said softly, "Father asked me to give this to you." There are 200,000 taels of silver tickets and information on the seventeen grain shops under the name of the Qin Mansion. ”

After Su Shi took the wooden box, he said with a smile: "You send someone to tell me, I'll just ask someone to get it, why don't you go on this trip." ”

Qin Nan blushed and said, "Father said that these are very important to you, and he said that he would not be relieved to hand them over to you personally, so he asked me to send them over in person." And...... And I want to hand it over to you myself. ”

By the end, her voice was getting lower and lower, almost inaudible. After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but secretly glance around, and saw that Lin Mo was ten zhang away, and there was only Su Shi in front of him, so his heart settled down a little.

Su Shi looked at her with a smile: "I'm also very happy to see you." ”

Hearing this, Qin Nan's heart, which had gradually settled down, jumped over and on, but he felt like he was eating sweetly, and hurriedly looked around with a red face.

At this time, Lin Mo was already thirty zhang away.

Qin Nan stood for a long time before lowering his head and whispering, "I'm also very happy." ”

After saying this, Qin Nan felt that the strange feeling in her heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, she couldn't help but look up at Su Shi, and then calmly accepted Su Shi's gaze.

Su Shi motioned to her: "Sit in the study and take a rest?" ”

Qin Nan shook his head and said, "I'm leaving." ”

"Something?"

Qin Nan nodded: "Shi Niang's old illness has recurred, I'll go see her." ”

"Do you want me to come with you?"

Qin Nan didn't answer him, and was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "I'm worried about you? ”

"Afraid I'll lose?"

Qin Nan hesitated: "I know you won't lose, but ......"

Su Shi smiled: "But sometimes winning is not the best choice. ”

Qin Nan said silently: "Isn't there any other choice?" ”

Su Shi couldn't help but sigh: "If I can think of other ways, I won't choose this path." ”

Qin Nan suddenly looked at him firmly, and said slowly: "No matter which path you choose, I will accompany you down." ”

Looking at Qin Nan's gentle and firm eyes, Su Shi's heart suddenly swelled with pride, he looked at Qin Nan's eyes, and said resolutely: "Don't worry, although this road is not easy to walk, I believe that it will work." ”

Qin Nan smiled, and that smile was like thousands of flowers blooming at the same time, and Su Shi couldn't help but be a little stunned.

At this time, he suddenly heard Qin Nan say: "Tonight, my father will hold a banquet to entertain Uncle Chang, and my father will ask you to come over too." ”

Su Shi finally came to his senses and knew that this was his future father-in-law pulling investment for him, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "I will definitely go." ”

In the end, Su Shi kept sending Qin Nan out of the house, and only turned around and went in after watching the carriage disappear at the end of the street.
