Chapter 23 Surprise
This night, Su Siman tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and his heart always felt like something, heavy. At first, she hated and feared Yuan Si Niang, but now she is a little hateful and sighing. However, Yuan Si Niang's personality is so twisted and obedient, and to a large extent, those pains belong to her own fault. Even so, it is indeed sighing.
She thought of herself again and Liang Shaojun.
When a woman falls in love with a man, she regards him as heaven and earth, as if there is only one person in the whole world. At that time, she cared about him so much, and even when she was grounded, she tried her best to see him; she was so obsessed that even though she knew that she was married only because he needed her blood for medicine, she still hopeed that he could have a trace of sincerity to her; she believed him so much, and when she was under house arrest, she still fantasized about him Come and save her. But in the end, it was found that it was just a premeditated deception from beginning to end.
This should be her first love in the true sense, unforgettable and melancholy, but it only leaves her heartbroken and bruised all over her body. Looking back today, I am still worried. When she thought of the name Liang Shaojun alone, she felt full of heartache.
After a sad night, Su Siman's eyelids were a little swollen and the corners of his mouth were also blistered. It may also be that she has been too busy recently. In addition, her diet is very irregular and her body can't stand it. Su Siman only thought he was angry, drank some porridge randomly, and dared not eat anything else.
"Oh, what on earth are you going to do when you come to Jiangnan?" Su Siman finished eating the last spoonful of clear porridge and asked.
"Naturally, I'm looking for my son A Ling."
"Didn't you say that you sent him back to Yaoyun Villa? If there is anything to find, you will naturally see it when you go back."
"I also thought I could see him when I went back to Yaoyun Villa, but I went back not long ago. Huangfu told me that A Ling was expelled from the villa because of a foul two years ago. I just heard him say that Huangfu Chong once mentioned that he had seen him in Daliang City in his family letter, so I looked for Huangfu Chong everywhere, but unfortunately he refused to say anything, alas..."
"Well, this Huangfu is so ruthless that even his son can sweep out of the house." Su Siman smashed his mouth and sighed.
"He can't be blamed for this. Although A Ling is his son, he has no reputation. In order to take into account Baiyaotang, Yaoyun Villa and his own reputation, Huangfu only took him as an apprentice, but did not dare to recognize him. Yes, A Ling used the next name in Yaoyun Villa. No wonder I mentioned A Ling's name. Huang Fu Chong insisted that he didn't know it.
"Don't you know what your son's other name is?" Su Siman rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"How can I know that I have been trapped in the palace for many years? And Huangfu Ye told me once, but he was in a hurry but didn't remember it. What's his name? His name is three words, as if it is embedded with the Zhong character in Huangfu's nickname 'Zhongyue Hermit', and he also takes the same word with the same meaning as my Guanghua character. Which word is it..." Yuan Si Niang tightly tangled her eyebrows and was a little distressed.
Su Siman was secretly shocked. After thinking about it, he said carefully, "Isn't it Zhong Yeli?"
"Yes, that's the name!" Yuan Si Niang patted the table in surprise, with a bright light in her eyes, and excitedly grabbed Su Siman's hand holding the spoon. "Why, do you know my A Ling?"
"Ah?!" I fell! Isn't it such a coincidence?! Su Siman opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and his mind was in a mess.
Huang Fu Chong and Zhong Yeli are actually two brothers? That's ridiculous! I have to sigh again that the world is really strange!
"Little girl, do you know my A Ling?" Yuan Si Niang pinched Su Siman with her nails.
"Ouch!" Su Siman grinned in pain and quickly struggled to get rid of the clamping of Yuan Si Niang. After working hard for a while, she chose to give up knowingly and said bitterly, "I know, I know. Can you let me go?"
Yuan Si Niang let go of her hand and stared at Su Siman with burning eyes. The eagerness in her eyes seemed to melt the person. "Do you know where he is now?"
"I don't know!" Su Siman hurriedly shook her head and wondered if Yuan Si Niang knew that her precious son had been thrown on the empty cliff by herself, maybe she had been taken away or gnawed away by a wolf, would she jump up and kill people? With a sneak glance, he met Yuan Si Niang's feverish eyes from fanatical to doubtful eyes. Su Siman couldn't help but feel cold in his scalp and his back vest.
"So when was the last time you met him?"
"Well... It's been a long time. At that time, I didn't escape from the palace. It would have been four months at least." Su Siman pretended to recall for a long time and tapped the bowl to answer.
"Oh..."
"So where are you going now?" Seeing that Yuan Si Niang was a little depressed, Su Siman deliberately opened the topic.
"Go to Yancheng."
Ah? Are you going to find Brother Gao's fault again?
What does it mean to find fault? I just want to ask a few people arrested by his men about my son's whereabouts. Is this a fault? Even if he really finds fault, it's his honor. Yuan Si Niang frowned and was a little disdainful of Su Siman's words.
"It seems that you have taken a lot of time to find Zhong Yeli. He must be very happy to know that you are so close to him." Su Siman thought of so many poor teenagers adopted in his yard, and thought of his gentle face in his evil charm, which was a little moved.
Yuan Si Niang sighed and didn't say a word.
"Can I ask you something?" For a while, Su Siman suddenly said solemnly in a consultative tone.
"What's wrong?"
"What are the people who flew eagle hall caught by Brother Gao's men?"
"It has something to do with the money theft case, and I'm not very clear about the details." Yuan Si Niang raised her eyebrows.
Su Siman was stunned and said that it had something to do with the money theft case again. This trip, I really have to go to Yancheng for a walk. I still carry the bad name of the wanted criminal for no reason. It's probably a coincidence in the world. If I take this opportunity to find out the context of the matter, it's not a beautiful thing.
"Do you go to Yancheng with me first, or go directly to Yaoyun Villa by yourself?" Yuan Si Niang put down her bowls and chopsticks and suddenly asked.
"Do you still need to ask me? Where do you want to get me? Do I have a choice?" Su Siman looked at her strangely. These days, Su Siman has been used to being a "prisoner" and doesn't even bother to move his mind.
"What a heartless little girl. I didn't treat you badly all the way, did I? Do you think I'm against you?" Yuan Si Niang glanced at Su Siman, but secretly felt that the little girl was very cute, confused and straightforward, but she was very pleasing. "I originally planned to torture you well, but now I don't have this interest, and you are in the way by my side, which hinders me from getting my way. Otherwise, you'd better go to Yaoyun Villa by yourself, so that you can get there for treatment before the next poisoning attack.
"Can't you cure my poison? Why do you still send me to Yaoyun Villa?" Su Siman stared puzzledly and pouted. Although I'm glad that Yuan Si Niang didn't plan to make trouble to herself, I still don't understand Yuan Si Niang's way of doing things.
Si Niang Yuan smiled helplessly: "Speaking of which, I still have some unreasonable and chaotic entanglement with you, and even some hatred. Our Yuan family was brutally exterminated because of your parents, and only I survived. If I help you get the poison with my own hands, there will be no face to see the ancestors after I die. You manage to go to Yaoyun Villa, and I have given the secret recipe to relieve the poison to Uncle Huangfu, that is, Huangfu Chong's grandfather. When you arrive at Yaoyun Villa, Huangfu Chong will naturally introduce you to him. In this way, I won't let my promise, and you don't have to be tortured by bloodthirsty anymore.
Su Siman was speechless. It was originally very simple, but it had to be so complicated, alas--
"Oh, you haven't answered yet." Yuan Si Niang knocked on the table to remind her.
"I... I'd better go to Yancheng with you first." Tell her to go to Yaoyun Villa alone? Just kidding, she doesn't know the way! Take a step back, even if you know the road, how unsafe it is for a girl's family. Especially in ancient times, there were many mountain thieves and so on. She didn't want to be caught as a lady.
"That's fine. Anyway, it's your own decision. It has nothing to do with me. Have you eaten yet?"
"Eat well. However, porridge doesn't matter, and I will be hungry after a while. I want to buy some steamed buns and steamed buns outside to eat on the road. What do you think? Su Siman pretended to ask for advice. He had already stood up from the chair and was about to go out.
"Well, you can buy more. Do you have any money?"
"I'm only a few penny. I'm afraid it's not enough. Can you lend me some?" Su Siman touched the money bag hidden in his belt. In fact, there was still some money in it, which was given to her by Huangfu Chong before.
"Go and come back!"
Yuan Si Niang threw it casually, and a bag of broken silver hit it head-on. Su Siman caught the moon in the water and happily left the inn.
Seeing the hot stalls on the street, the greedy insects in Su Siman's belly were a little hooked up. I bought more than a dozen steamed buns and put them in a big bag. When she walked back, she finally couldn't help it. She sat down on a chair facing the street at a nearby stall, ordered a bowl of wontons, and specially told the boss not to put peppers.
When waiting for the wonton, Su Siman couldn't help but meet Huang Fu Chong for the first time, and it was also a street stall. Speaking of which, it should be thanks to Uncle Fu's blessing, otherwise he would definitely not have gone to the roadside stall with Huangfu's nature. However, Su Siman felt that the smell of roadside stalls was no worse than that in restaurants.
She was thinking, and she couldn't prevent herself from hearing a person's surprised and happy cry--
"Miss! Is it really you?!"
Su Siman looked up and could hardly believe his eyes!
"Bixi?!"
"It's me! Miss, it's really you! Am I right?!" Bixi seemed to be muttering to himself, pinched his hand hard, and excitedly grabbed Su Siman's delicate hand on the table.
"You're right. It's really me. Tourmaline, how did you come out? Su Siman also held the little hand of the tourmaline tightly and was surprised.
"Miss..." Bixi finally decided that it was not an illusion. She cried with joy and shook her shoulders slightly.
Su Siman stood up, stretched out his sleeve to wipe her tears, and pretended to say, "Silly girl, why are you crying? It's really not good!"
"I thought I was dreaming. I dreamed of meeting the young lady several times before, but it turned out to be empty." The tourmaline sucked his nose, and the tear gate was finally controlled.
"Why did you come out? Were you kicked out by them? Su Siman asked uneasily. What a surprise. I just thought about Bixi yesterday, and I met it today!
