Regent's House

study

When Qi Yuan heard that Xiao Heng had returned, he excitedly rushed over to ask him what Su Yuejian thought about the ointment.

As soon as he rushed into the courtyard, he was stopped by Xuanfeng.

"Hey, you taciturn guy, why are you stopping me?"

Qi Yuan straightened his clothes and said unhappily.

Xuanfeng looked at him meaningfully.

Qi Yuan didn't understand and looked at Xuan Yu beside him in confusion.

Xuan Yu spoke softly.

"The master was rejected by Miss Su today, and he locked himself in the study as soon as he returned. Doctor Qi, I advise you not to go near him for now."

what's the situation? !

Qi Yuan was shocked.

No wonder! Xiao Heng's attire today was completely different from usual, with the demeanor of a gentle and elegant gentleman. It turned out that he was going to express his feelings to Miss Su!

I was rejected!

I couldn't help but sigh that this Miss Su is indeed not an ordinary person.

Qi Yuan glanced at the closed door and shuddered.

He suddenly felt a little regretful for showing up here. Knowing too much is not a good thing.

Whispered to the two of them:

"Ahem...um...I'm still brewing some medicine in the pharmacy. I'll be leaving first."

Before he could finish his words, he ran out without looking back.

"Don't tell Zi Che that I was here..."

In the room

Xiao Heng sat on a rosewood chair, his eyes fixed on a painting on the desk.

The painting shows a snowy mountain and a little girl in red standing in the snow. There is a rouge mole between her eyebrows, and she looks bright and lovely.

There was a cloud on his face and his eyes were gloomy.

gratitude?

Not a good match?

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of paranoia.

He raised his hand and stroked the painting again and again.

Into the night

The spring rain came silently, accompanied by the slanting wind, knocking on the windowsill.

Su Yuejian was lying on the bed with a look of pain on his face, his brows furrowed, his whole body trembling and covered in cold sweat.

She had another nightmare.

The heads of my father and brother, their bloody eyes, and the feeling of powerlessness as the blood slowly drained from my body.

The scene of the dream froze at the end where a man was anxiously running towards her. The man's figure was getting closer and closer, but she could not see his face clearly.

Su Yuejian suddenly woke up and sat up, his face pale and his chest heaving violently.

It's a dream.

Ever since she woke up from her rebirth, she often dreamed about the events before her death in her previous life, but this was the first time she dreamed of that man. Unfortunately, she didn't see his face in the dream. Who could it be?

Su Yuejian's mind unconsciously appeared Xiao Heng's face.

She shook her head, denying the idea, perhaps it was just a hallucination before her death.

I got out of bed and poured myself a cup of tea.

He put down the teacup and his eyes fell on the letter on the table next to him.

That was what Xuanshuang gave her tonight, and it contained the things about Lu Jinru's life that she had been asked to investigate before.

"Lu Jinru is the only daughter of the Duke of Huguo, and she has two older brothers. The Duke of Huguo and his family cherish her like a treasure."

"The Huguo family has been a family of nobles for generations. Lu Jinru has practiced martial arts since she was young and is the first female general in Tianjin. Back then, she led the army to repel Bei Yi with a spear and a horse, bringing peace to the border."

"Rumor has it that she and Su Taifu fell in love at first sight at the celebration banquet. They were very affectionate after their marriage, and soon they had Su Yanzhou."

"When Lu Jinru was pregnant with her second child, Su Lin got drunk at a banquet and had an accident with Qiao. Not long after, Qiao was taken into the family because she was pregnant."

Lu Jinru was only eight months pregnant when she gave birth. It happened that Grand Tutor Su was out on official business, and Su Yanzhou was at the academy. It just so happened that Qiao was also out with the old lady on a Buddhist ceremony that day and was not at the mansion.

"Mrs. Lu went into premature labor. The midwife said she had a difficult labor and the baby was stillborn. It happened so suddenly and there was no one in charge at the house. Everyone was in a panic, not knowing what had gone wrong. Suddenly, the yard was flooded."

"The fire was so fierce that day that it burned all night long and was not put out until the next day."

"Besides Lu Jinru, her personal maid Liuying and the midwife also didn't survive the fire. Their bodies were burned to ashes."

Su Yuejian put down the letter and frowned. There were no survivors from what happened back then, so how could she be picked up by Ming Bushi on Chaowu Mountain?

The maid and midwife involved are both dead, and Ming Bushi is nowhere to be found. Now the only thing they can do is to start with the Qiao family.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the praise for Lu Jinru in the letter. Her eyes were red and her heart was sour.

I am not an orphan, I have a mother.

It turns out that my mother is a heroic heroine.

She put on her coat, opened the door and walked under the sycamore tree in the yard.

The spring night wind is exceptionally cool, and the cool drizzle hitting my face relieves some of the depression in my heart.

Su Yuejian looked up and looked at the blurry moon in the sky through the leaves of the sycamore tree.

Xiao Heng was standing on the roof, hiding in the dark, staring blankly at this breathtakingly beautiful scene.

The moonlight is dim, and the rain falls on the parasol tree at night.

The girl looked up at the moon, her figure graceful and slender, her three thousand black hair casually scattered, her skin as white as snow, her face without makeup but cold and clear, her clear and bright eyes were particularly moving in the moonlight, the rouge mark between her eyebrows made her look pure and charming, and in the hazy space she looked like a fairy under the moon, pure and otherworldly, unattainable.

Xiao Heng noticed her clean and white face, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

What a little liar.

She stood quietly in the yard for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiao Heng looked at the lonely figure of the woman and always felt that she was filled with sadness, which made him feel distressed.

His eyes darkened slightly, and his hands clenched into fists.

He appeared quietly only after Su Yuejian went back into the room, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The girl lying on the bed was breathing shallowly and was not sleeping well. Her brows were slightly furrowed and there were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.

He walked closer, used his inner strength to dry her hair that was wet from the rain, tucked the corners of her quilt gently, and sat by the bed, watching her quietly all night.

It was not until dawn that Xuan Yu came to urge him several times before he left.
