Shengjing Noble

Su Lanyin replied with a cold face: "Normally, a small scene."

After saying that, he turned around and returned to the yard.

Su Shengming and the others hadn't eaten either, and were waiting for her with empty stomachs.

After going back and forth for more than half an hour, everyone was relieved when they finally saw her come back.

"What happened? Did they hurt you? Did they torture you?" Song Huaizhi hurriedly examined her.

"I'm fine, not a hair is missing."

Xianglan was also concerned: "Brother Su hasn't eaten yet, he must be hungry, I'll go heat up the food."

After saying that, he quickly took the food on the table and reheated it.

Su Shengming asked doubtfully, "They finished the investigation so quickly? Are you innocent?"

Su Lanyin said: "Third brother, I am innocent, okay?"

"Of course I know, but it's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. If you say you're not guilty, they have to agree."

"They must agree, otherwise how could I come back unscathed?"

"Did the prince reveal his identity?"

"No." Huo Jingxiao shook his head, "I didn't show up at all."

"That's..." Su Shengming suddenly realized, "You did it?"

Su Lanyin smiled and nodded: "Well, not taking action is not my style."

"Girl, you're not afraid of exposing yourself."

"Third brother, do you think we can keep it a secret? Since we have decided to take care of things here, it is impossible not to be exposed. We will always be targeted."

"Then how are we going to get out?"

"Who said I'm going to get away?" Su Lanyin smiled, looking mysterious.

"Do you want to be caught by that person?"

She frowned, "Who dares to catch me? Or rather, who can catch me? If they want someone dead, maybe they really have the strength to do so, but what he wants is for me to be alive, so the initiative is in my hands."

"There's nothing wrong with what you said...but what are you going to do next?"

"How can we, a few powerless little people, understand those corrupt officials who can cover the sky with one hand?"

"what?"

"Don't worry, we don't have to worry about it anymore. Someone will naturally take action to clean up this Wei City."

Su Lanyin had long discovered that there were many spies following them.

I think it should be Fu Wuyang's man.

But she didn't know how much she meant to that person.

It made him so nervous that he even sent spies to her side while he was in the Northern Territory.

……

into the night.

Su Lanyin tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got up and went to Su Shengming's room.

She knocked on the door and it was Huo Jinxia who opened it.

"It's so late, what's wrong?"

"Where's the third brother?"

"He fell asleep as soon as he lay down. What's wrong with you?" Huo Jingxiao looked at her with some concern.

Su Lanyin glanced back and saw that Su Shengming was indeed sleeping like a pig.

"Forget it, it's nothing, you should go to bed early."

She lost interest in the matter instantly and turned to leave, but was stopped by Huo Jingxiao.

"Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Su Lanyin asked.

"If you can't sleep...you can also talk to me."

"Uh... That's fine too."

She accepted it reluctantly.

A light flashed in Huo Jingxiao's eyes, and he quickly closed the door and followed her.

The two of them went to the roof and sat down.

The night was nice today, with the moon and stars seeming very close to them, as if they could reach them if they stood up and stretched out their hands.

Huo Jingxiao brought two small jars of wine from somewhere.

"Drink?"

"Okay."

After opening the lid, the two of them clinked the wine jar together, then tilted their heads back and took a sip.

The aroma of wine fills the air, spreading in the mouth, and the warmth flows into the throat and into the stomach.

"What do you want to say to your third brother in the middle of the night?" Huo Jingxiao asked straight to the point.

He is really curious.

Su Lanyin leaned back, supported herself on her elbows, looked up at the night sky, and sighed.

"Do you know what it's like to lose your memory?"

Huo Jingxiao thought for a moment and said, "...it depends on what kind of memory you lost."

"For example?"

"If it's a painful memory, losing it will only make you happier, right?"

"is that so……"

Su Lanyin frowned. She didn’t know whether the memory she had lost was good or bad, but she knew that she didn’t feel any happiness at the moment.

"What's wrong? Do you want to get back that part of your memory?" Huo Jingxiao was very curious.

He couldn't see through the woman in front of him, so he was full of expectations for her and always wanted to know what she was thinking.

Su Lanyin lowered her eyes hesitantly.

"I don't know... I have forgotten many people and many things. Sometimes I always feel that my heart is blank and I don't have any thoughts... and..."

"And what?"

Su Lanyin sat up, her face solemn and filled with self-blame.

"I can't feel the love for my family. Maybe it's because I lost my memory, so I only have a sense of responsibility towards my third brother and Sister Song..."

Over such a long time, she felt that she was becoming more and more indifferent. On the surface, she could be very gentle and considerate, but she knew that she did not care very much in her heart, and she did not put herself in others' shoes.

She seemed to have lost the ability to love from the bottom of her heart.

The reason why she stopped in Weicheng and didn't move on was not entirely to get involved in all this mess, but because she was a little afraid of arriving in Quanzhou.

She didn't dare face her relatives because she felt guilty for forgetting her mother.

What’s worse is that she doesn’t know how to get along with her relatives.

Every time her third brother and Song Huaizhi got close to her, she subconsciously wanted to escape.

After all, from her perspective, there are no relatives who have been together for more than ten years, only those who have just met and the feelings are not very deep.

This made Su Lanyin at a loss as to what to do.

Su Shengming said that her mother loved her very much.

This put her under a lot of pressure, and for a time she didn't know how to face such strong and heavy maternal love.

So every moment on the road was tormenting for her.

I want to escape, but I can't bear to do it.

She felt guilty for having to accept love from someone else but not being able to give the same love back.

Huo Jingxiao heard this and asked doubtfully: "So, what are you struggling with now?"

"I don't know if I should go see my mother without regaining my memory. I'm afraid that I don't have any feelings for her and will make her sad."

"But isn't it natural for everyone to love their mother?"

"What?" Su Lanyin looked at him puzzledly.

Huo Jingxiao said with red eyes: "There may be people in this world who don't love their own children, but no child can not love his or her mother."

"..."

These words seemed to have some magical power that instantly penetrated Su Lanyin's heart.

She was shocked.

Yes, everyone’s love for their mother is instinctive when they are born.

Just like motherly love, it's also instinct.

"You haven't seen her, so you don't know how much you love her. Maybe if you see her, it will trigger those memories. There is no child who doesn't long for maternal love."

Huo Jingxiao was talking about her, but also himself.
