Chapter 106

Assassination

The two people were very cautious and gentle, each one was gentler and softer than the other.

The parts that were not injured were brushed by them, which was like a heat wave and made Song Chengyu almost let out a sigh of comfort. It took them nearly an hour to replace all the medicines on Song Chengyu's body.

When they breathed a sigh of relief, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Gently patting her lower back, Zi Su looked at Su Momo with a distressed expression.

"It's really not easy for you. Isn't there another concubine in the mansion? Why do you have to do it alone?"

"Forget it."

Su Momo's eyes showed helplessness.

"She is a rich lady, she needs people to serve her for food, clothing and drink, so how can she serve others? Besides, my husband is so badly injured, I will not feel at ease if I don't take care of him myself."

"You are such a fool. I told you that I had a rich family and wanted you to be the main wife, but you refused and insisted on enduring this humiliation."

"What are you talking about?"

Su Momo hurriedly hit Zi Su, and Zi Su sighed and fell into the chair.

Song Chengyu listened to them talking as if no one was around, and instead of getting angry, he felt pain for them. If Zi Su hadn't said that, he wouldn't have realized that Su Momo had been wronged in this mansion.

Shisu wore a purple long dress with a hairpin of the same color, which made her look as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water.

In addition, she has a straightforward personality and although her words are not tactful, they are not offensive.

so.

Song Chengyu's eyes were unconsciously drawn to Zi Su.

She and Su Momo are two different kinds of beauties, each with her own charm.

Su Momo took a handkerchief, walked forward and wiped the sweat off Zi Su's forehead, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry that I didn't let you eat and drink well. Instead, I spent a lot of your treasures. You gave Madam and Qinghuan so many things, which made them smile. I was also treated much better. Zi Su, how can I repay you?"

Speaking of.

Su Momo hugged Zisu.

"Why don't you just not leave? It will be so boring for me if you leave."

"Don't make a fool of yourself in front of the prince. You are so old, but you still act like a spoiled child. I saw a house yesterday and have already decided on it. I will go buy some maids and servants to serve you. The medicine has been replaced. Let's go wash up. Then I have to go out."

"But if the servants can't take good care of me after we leave, I won't be at ease with my husband."

Su Momo turned her head and pointed to a spacious area behind the screen which was usually used for changing clothes and bathing.

"Why don't we take a shower there? That way I can keep an eye on my husband. He's asleep anyway, so no one will see us."

"Shame on you, you married him, you can, but I'm not suitable."

Zi Su glanced at the bed. Song Chengyu was not actually asleep. When he heard what they said, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Even though he was lying down and unable to move, his heart was still stirred when he heard Su Momo's words.

"What's inappropriate? He can't see it. Shiso Shiso Shiso, come take a bath with me. Don't we love to stay in hot water and chat and play the most?"

"Oh, just promise me. Your husband is asleep and injured, so he can't do anything to you. If he peeks, I'll beat him for you."

"Okay, okay, this is annoying."

Speaking of.

Su Momo and Zi Su smiled at each other, and asked the servants to prepare hot water and clothes.

Wait until everything is ready.

Su Momo walked forward and gently tidied the bedding for Song Chengyu, then took Zi Su's hand and walked behind the screen, saying with a smile.

"Zi Su, what have you done over the years to be so rich?"

Shisu said as she took off her clothes.

"I didn't do anything. My fiancé's family left it to me. We were supposed to get married in a month, but they ran into bandits and were all killed. I was just sad to be guarding those things, so I sold the house and land and left."

"I've been wandering around for a long time and want to settle down, so I want to look for my relatives. But they're not good relatives, so if they leave, they leave. Now you're in the capital, and I'm too lazy to leave. I'll buy a house so I have a place to stay. When I find someone I like, I'll marry him and live a good life."

"Mo Mo, how caring is the prince to you? I think Madam Song and the others are not easy to deal with, and the prince's wife is also a powerful one!"

Hearing them talking about this, Song Chengyu opened his eyes and looked towards the screen.

The hot mist was lingering, and two graceful figures were vaguely visible in the thin painting. Especially when they took off their clothes, revealing their curvy figure, Song Chengyu's long fingers clenched slightly.

"What can I do?"

Su Momo sighed softly.

"As a concubine, the only way to gain a foothold is to rely on the husband, hoping that the husband will favor her and give birth to two children."

"What a pitiful girl." Zi Su raised her hand and patted Su Momo's head, then pinched her body and said with a smile, "Fortunately, this body of flesh is quite nice, white with a hint of pink, and round where it should be round. Men should like it."

Su Momo screamed and took a step back, then hurriedly climbed into the bathtub, filled it with water and poured it on Zi Su. The two of them started playing around, and the water splashed onto the thin screen, which instantly became as clear as a mirror.

Song Chengyu only felt a tightness in his throat. If the distance was not a little farther, he would be able to see it more clearly.

His eyes were fixed on those two bodies, sometimes looking at their slender waists, sometimes looking at their perky buttocks. When his body became hot, Song Chengyu was tortured to the point of being extremely uncomfortable.

After playing around for a while, the two of them finally soaked in the hot water, whispering comfortably.

Song Chengyu was like an ant on hot pot after hearing this. He could neither see clearly nor eat. It was even more tormenting for him than his injuries.

An idea kept lingering in my mind.

Since Miss Zi Su is rich, beautiful, gentle and considerate, and single, she will find a man to marry sooner or later. Why doesn't she marry into the Song Mansion?

Thinking so.

The fire in Song Chengyu's heart burned even more fiercely, and his eyes stared blankly at the back of the screen.

The longer they took to wash, the more itchy Song Chengyu felt. When he saw them get up and put on their clothes, Song Chengyu closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

"Let's go to Linglong Pavilion to look at the jewelry. Although we have no one to rely on, we still need to live a good life. I don't want anything that's too bad."

"Okay, I'll go with you, and I'll have the servants come over to guard it."

Su Momo and Zi Su slowly walked out from behind the screen while washing their long hair. They sat on the couch, exuding fragrance.

The fragrance rushed into Song Chengyu's nostrils, filling his mind with beautiful images.

He has to get better soon so that he can love Miss Zisu well.

When the maids came in, Su Momo told them to serve well. Zi Su gave them some more careful instructions, and then the two of them left hand in hand.

As soon as they left Song Chengyu's courtyard, their faces turned cold.

They did not leave the house, but went to Jiang Zhaoying's Kongliu cottage. The table was filled with fruits and snacks, and Jiang Zhaoying was making tea.

In the room.

A lady was sitting around the table with her son and daughter. Although the aroma was everywhere, none of them had any appetite. Hearing the noise outside, they all turned their heads to look at the door, and saw Su Momo and Zi Su walking in together.

Jiang Zhaoying's brows softened when she saw them.

Su Momo and Zi Su hurriedly stepped forward to salute, then sat aside. The clan leader’s wife, no, it should be said that it was Zhao Yurou... Although her eyes were red and swollen, she was in a good mood.

It was quite sharp when Song Yanfeng and Song Mianmian were present, but now it was obvious that the brother and sister were very sad.

"I have been deceived for twenty years and I am finally awake now."

Zhao Yurou murmured softly, Jiang Zhaoying looked at her with a smile, and she continued speaking a little embarrassedly.

"Song Bozong is a very gentle person. He is good at saying sweet words and doing what he promised. He is really good to us. So even if he noticed something, I kept convincing myself to ignore it. But he would stab me with a knife today and another knife tomorrow. There would always be a big hole in my heart. There would always be a time when I couldn't stand it. Now it's finally over."

Zhao Yurou was also born into an official family, even higher than the head of the Song clan. The Zhao family agreed to this marriage because she had a younger brother who was a marquis.

"It's good now. I can finally live for myself."

Although her youth has faded, at least she is in good health now and can still do what she wants.

"Zhaoying, I want to go back to my mother's home. My mother is old, and I want to serve her closely for a few years. Yanfeng and Mianmian are left to you."

"good."

Jiang Zhaoying nodded in agreement.

Song Yanfeng will go to the academy to study first. Song Mianmian likes embroidery, so Jiang Zhaoying arranged her to work in a big shop to learn how to look at accounts first, and then find one or two embroiderers to be her apprentices. They will try it for one or two years first, and when they grow up a little, they can do whatever they like.

It would be better to stay away from the Song family's crooked customs.

"Yanfeng, Mianmian, if you have any problems, just go find Zhaoying, or Young Master Jiang from the Jiang Mansion, but don't bother with your shameless father anymore. Lin Suxin is a ruthless person, you must be careful."

"yes."

Song Yanfeng and Song Mianmian were sad at the thought of being separated from their mother, but they felt particularly relieved when they thought that their mother could be free.

"Mother should have come to terms with it a long time ago. When I was a child, I saw him and aunt kissing each other many times in our house."

I was ignorant at that time and thought that they were just talking about adults, so I didn’t take it seriously even when I saw them hugging each other.

Later, when I grew up, I didn't know how to start talking.

"Speaking of which, my brother-in-law and his family were able to get promoted and leave here because of Zhaoying's help. They wrote to me saying that they are living a very good life now, very smooth and happy, and they wanted me to see you and say thank you. Now, in addition to their thanks, there is also a thank you from me, Zhaoying, Yanfeng, Mianmian, then I... I'll leave first."

Since he had decided to leave, he might as well leave cleanly. The new home had already been arranged for his son and daughter, and the servants were also very capable and reliable. The house was next to Zi Su's, and there was a secret door between the two houses so they could travel between them. Even if Madam Song caused trouble, she would be able to get away safely.

"yes."

Song Yanfeng and Song Mianmian stood up and bowed to their mother. Their eyes were red when they lowered their heads, but when they raised their eyes, they were full of strength and smiles.

"Mother, live the life you want to live. Forget about the past. Do whatever makes you happy in the future. Your son will work hard. When the time comes, your son will bring you to the capital to enjoy happiness."

"well."

Zhao Yurou was deeply moved when she looked at her two sensible children. She really wanted to go up and hug them, but once she hugged them, she didn't want to leave.

Song Yanfeng held Song Mianmian's hand tightly, fearing that his sister would not be able to hold back and cry into her mother's arms.

But.

What surprised him was that although Song Mianmian was trembling and choking, she had an obedient smile on her face and waved to her mother.

Until Zhao Yurou's figure disappeared.

The sound of sobbing reached everyone's ears. Song Yanfeng hugged his sister tightly, and the two siblings cried together.

Su Momo and Zi Su came forward, surrounded them, and used handkerchiefs to wipe their tears.

"Don't cry, we still have you in the future."

"kindness."

Song Mianmian turned around and threw herself into Zi Su's arms. Zi Su hugged her and coaxed her. Then Song Yanfeng walked to Jiang Zhaoying and bowed deeply.

"When I succeed in the future, Yan Feng will definitely repay you."

"kindness."

Jiang Zhaoying agreed.

"Most of the people who should be removed from the Song Mansion have been removed. The rest..."

She didn't finish this sentence, but Song Yanfeng and Song Mianmian felt a chill down their spines when they heard it. They both knew what this sentence meant.

so.

It was right for them to take the initiative to find Jiang Zhaoying and make peace with her. It was also right for them to take the initiative to admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness... Her brother had already promised her that as long as she could help their mother leave and keep them safe, her brother would sell his whole life to Jiang Zhaoying, even at the risk of his life.

"Master Song, your things have been moved into your house. My brother has also arranged the academy for you. Let's take it easy for now and do whatever you want. After a ten-day or half-month break, you should get busy again. Those who need to study should study, and those who need to learn how to manage a shop should learn how to manage a shop. When you become stronger, your mother should be back."

"yes."

The two nodded in response.

Shu Yun and Shu Yu brought the exquisite meals over one by one, and Jiang Zhaoying smiled.

"The chef we hired made it. Come and try it."

Shu Yun and Shu Yu helped everyone wash their faces and wipe their hands, and then they sat around the table. Song Yanfeng picked up some food for his sister and coaxed her softly.

"Usually I just want to eat this and that, but today I don't care about you, just eat whatever you want."

"good."

Song Mianmian seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, and took the bowl with a smile. Jiang Zhaoying looked at the way the brother and sister supported each other, and thought of herself and her brothers.

Then I thought of Wei Jiuzhao.

When they ate together in the past, he liked to sit next to her, serve her food, and encourage her to eat more.

When Nanny Li saw her expression, she knew who she was thinking of and stepped forward to speak.

"When you think about it, it's hard to tell who's right or wrong, but at heart, he's still a good kid."

Jiang Zhaoying nodded silently, picked up a piece of pork elbow and put it into the empty bowl beside him. That was his favorite food.

"But he still owes you his life, so there's no need to be too sad, Miss."

Jiang Zhaoying listened and sighed, then said to Nanny Li.

"Mammy, have you forgotten? When I was six years old, I fell into the lake. It was my eldest brother who rescued me. He himself was ill for more than half a month before he recovered. So, according to fate, he has given my life back to me."

Having said that.

Everyone remembered it.

If Wei Jiuzhao had not jumped into the lake without hesitation and tried his best to find the young lady who was entangled by the water plants that year, she would have been in great danger.

"How has Shen Yuefu been doing lately?"

She raised her eyes and looked at Zi Su and Su Momo. Zi Su raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"It's not good, it's not bad. Madam Song protects her very well. Although she has been less patient recently, it's still not bad."

Jiang Zhaoying lowered her eyes and sneered. Now that the head of the Song clan and his wife were divorced, if she used some tricks behind the scenes, Mrs. Song's mind would be full of plans to get married, and she even had the intention of pushing Shen Yuefu to the position of co-wife. Once this matter came out, the Song Mansion would be in big trouble.

It seems.

Jiang Zhaoying frowned slightly.

We have to speed up and force the emperor to issue an imperial decree allowing her to divorce.

Now that Prince Yunzhong has obtained the three letters, he will probably take action against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very soon. The capital will soon become bustling.

Finish the meal.

Su Momo and Zi Su took Yan Feng and Mian Mian out together. Jiang Zhaoying got up and went out to find Si Nan, giving him five stubs of silver notes worth ten thousand taels each.

"Find a few assassins to kill the prince, and then leave traces of the King of the Clouds. Ziying, go tell the prince about this and ask them to cooperate."
