207 Midsummer Invitation (2)
Mo Wei only felt that his hands were empty, and when he looked up, there was already a Suzaku standing beside the okra, and those eyes were looking at him without concealing it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He hurriedly smiled. "Master Zhu, don't get me wrong, I'm just here to send a message to Miss Qiu. -- When the letter arrived, I left first. ”
Suzaku didn't say anything, didn't stop him, and he exited the door before glancing at the okra on the side. Okra looked like she had just breathed a sigh of relief, but when she met Suzaku's gaze, she was still slightly panicked.
Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be in much better mood today.
"Dad, I'm ......," she tried to explain, but Suzaku had already turned and walked inside, unfurling the crumpled envelope in her hand out of thin air, and taking out the letter to read. Okra had to follow suit. It seemed that the matter could not be concealed from him, so it might be more troublesome to let him read the invitation himself than to talk to him, and she simply did not speak.
A few steps from the door to the front hall, Kankan read the letter, and Suzaku stopped and looked back at her.
"He wants you to go to the 'three' conference?"
When okra heard his disdainful tone, she knew that there was little hope, and she lowered her head and said, "Yes." ”
Seeing that Suzaku immediately entered the front hall and sat down, she hurriedly took the tea handed by the next person, and handed it to Suzaku with some flattery. She had hardly ever done anything like this in the past—most of the time she was in her own house, and if Suzaku didn't come to see her, she probably wouldn't see her again. Although she couldn't say that she was at fault when she hit the door today, she had already moved her mind to leave, and she was worried.
Suzaku took the tea, his face was better, and he pinched the letter and threw it on the table at hand. "On the first day of the seventh month, there is still such a half-moon scene. He held up the tea but did not drink it, as if he were calculating.
Okra couldn't grasp his mind, and suddenly looked up, but saw that Yiyi had heard the news, and when he arrived in the hall, he saw that Suzaku was really here, and stepped forward and bowed: "Yiyi has seen Lord Zhu." ”
Suzaku frowned, "You've arrived." After putting the tea, he pointed to his side and asked her to sit. It was a long time since he came, Yiyi seemed a little flattered, until he really sat next to him, and then said softly: "I thought that the adults were not going to summon Yiyi to serve in the mansion anymore." ”
Suzaku laughed. "It's only been a long time since I've called you, what's the matter, I'm going to be unwilling?"
"I don't dare. Yiyi said hurriedly. "Yiyi is just afraid that Lord Zhu is still angry......"
"Well, Hugh is going to mention that time. Suzaku raised his arm and hugged her, and said to Okra, "What do I say? You keep worrying about him and talking for him, and now—it's been more than three months, right?"
Both Okra and Yiyi knew that he was talking about Junli. Of course, they can not mention Jun Li, but Suzaku wants to tear this hole now.
This topic only made Okra feel down, and he didn't want to say more, so he bit his lip and stood up and said, "Since I have Yiyi to accompany my father, I will retire first." Dad has time to turn around, and we'll talk about the letter. ”
"Stop. Suzaku didn't wait for her to take a step, "I didn't let you go." ”
Okra listened to his stern tone, but refused to show weakness, and although his footsteps stopped for a while, the man refused to turn back.
Seeing her like this, Suzaku just smiled and said, "Okay, your father is so busy every day, but when he comes back, he still has to see your face?" Seeing that she still didn't move, his face turned cold, and he grabbed the letter in his hand. Okra was too late to realize it, and when she turned around, she saw that the paper had suddenly become the end of her hand in Suzaku's hand.
"Dad, you ......" She hadn't read the letter herself, but she had only heard him say "the first day of the seventh month", but she didn't know the details of the side, so it was ruined, how not to hurry?
Suzaku didn't pay attention to it, only hugged Yiyi and stood up, "Let's go!"
"Daddy!" Okra saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly chased after him. "I'm just ...... It's not about being angry with my father. That thing ......"
But Suzaku didn't look back, and walked out backwards with Yiyi.
As soon as Yi Yifang came, he saw that the two of them seemed to be at odds, and he didn't dare to say more. After taking a few steps, he said softly: "Lord Zhu, Miss Qiu, she has such a temper, you ...... Don't be angry. ”
Suzaku put his arm around her and put it down, half-turning: "You want to intercede with her again?"
"I ...... I'm just afraid that adults will be in a bad mood for this......" Yiyi lowered her head and was cautious. "Yiyi understands, if Lord Zhu still has a disagreement with Miss Qiu in his heart, even if Yiyi accompanies the adult, the adult will not be happy. ”
"Yiyi!" Suzaku lifted her chin, "What do you mean by that?
Yiyi was startled, her eyes blinked, and she couldn't say a word. The last time it was almost like this, because she said two words of love to okra, Suzaku was furious, pinched her jaw and easily pushed her to the ground and abandoned her, turned around and asked someone to send her out of the house. After a long time, is it the case again?
Fortunately, Suzaku's hand was lowered this time. "But since you're so hearty—well, go and call her in, and I've got something to say with you. ”
His tone became calm, not like a rhetoric. Yiyi nodded and hurriedly went.
Suzaku looked left and right, waved everyone back, and turned around and walked towards his house. He didn't like that there were people next to his house, and when he was in a bad mood, he even hoped that there would be no one in the second door. Who made his ears and eyes too bright, and listening to those extra breaths also added to his heart.
After a while, Yiyi had already come with okra, and when he saw that there were no guards all the way around here, he understood his emotions, so he felt a little uneasy.
Suzaku had already lit the lamp in the house, sat on the couch, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he only said lightly: "Come here." ”
"Daddy," Okra said, as she approached, to appear friendly, "I'll listen...... I heard Yiyi say, you have something to say with us?"
Suzaku raised his head slightly, and said the words that surprised both of them:
"Not bad. I have decided today that I want to leave Lin'an and leave tomorrow. ”
"What?" Okra blurted out. Since she came here, let alone leaving Lin'an, even this forbidden city, it is rare to see Suzaku walk out. How could he suddenly say that he was going to leave Lin'an now? He didn't say a word outside, could it be that he deliberately sent others away and asked the two of them to come here to talk about it?
Before she could ask him what was the matter and how long he was leaving, Suzaku had already picked up the next sentence.
"I want you to go with me. ”
Okra's mouth froze halfway open, stunned for a moment, making sure that he was talking about himself and not Yiyi.
"My ...... dad is going to leave Lin'an—do you want me to go along?"
"What, you still don't want to go, is it comfortable in the Forbidden City?" "Or are you still counting on Jun Li to come back to you?"
"No, I ......" okra only said seriously this time, "What happened? Dad rarely leaves the capital, what is there that others can't do, and I want Dad to go in person?"
"You'll know when you go. ”
"But I ......," she wanted to ask why I was going. Thinking about it normally, Suzaku really has something important to do, how can he bring himself with him?
Suzaku seemed to have seen through her thoughts. "You want to stay?" he sneered. "Do you think I don't know—if I go, you'll be gone at once?
"I didn't ...... I didn't mean that...... "Okra had to plead," I ......
"Needless to say. I don't know what you're thinking, I'll let Yiyi help you get ready later, and I'll set off with me tomorrow!"
Okra is out of options. Suzaku's words did hit her momentary thoughts-"The opportunity has come", this was her first reaction, whether it was to find Jun Li at that time, or for the meeting of the three branches.
Suzaku's perceptive eyes and those merciless words annoyed her and made her hate. She's tried her best to act like she doesn't care about anything, but in Suzaku's eyes, maybe it's ridiculous at all. She sometimes really wants to shoot and tell him that she is not his daughter and that she doesn't need him to care so much. But that big lie has been told for so long, and can they--can they still draw a line with this lie? She doesn't know whether Suzaku is holding her daughter or the real okra in the palm of her hand now. She always suspected that he should have known the truth, but she couldn't believe that if he really knew, why bothered to take care of a woman who had nothing to do with her?
She reluctantly adjusted her complexion, and said with a deliberate smile: "It turns out that my father sent someone to call Yiyi back today, just to help me prepare - that wronged her." Moreover, I finally came to the house, but my father is leaving tomorrow, and she has to be alone again, how uncomfortable. ”
"It's just a matter of helping you get ready. Suzaku smiled. "Since I'm leaving tomorrow, I'll ask her to accompany me. ”
"What if...... If the adults don't give up, Yiyi can also go along......" Yiyi whispered.
Suzaku smiled slightly. "No need, this trip is not without danger, you can stay here. If things go well, I'll be back in ten days. ”
"If this trip is dangerous, Miss Qiu will take it with you, why do you ...... it?"
"I still have the heart to protect my daughter, but others may not have time to take care of it. Suzaku said. "It's no good for you to go. ”
Okra was shocked. Yes, he still thinks I'm his daughter. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have said such a thing.
But these words are a little sparse for Yiyi. She lowered her head, answered yes, and said no more.
"Besides, I want you to stay, and there are more important things. ”
"What's more important?" Yiyi looked up again.
"I left the capital, don't mention it to anyone for the time being, including the people in this mansion, anyway, I've been busy recently, and I don't think anyone will think that I left the capital in the first two or three days. But if I don't show up for too long, after two or three days, suspicion will naturally arise, and then it will be up to you - you are here, and if anyone asks, you will only insist that I am here, and it is your ability to hide this news for another day. ”
