Chapter 21: White Moonlight in My Heart
Yu Shengsheng is sick.
While wiping her hair, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help crying.
Yu Shengsheng felt hot all over and his voice was hoarse: "As soon as possible, spread the news that my fate is ominous."
Mrs. Zhou almost cried: "Miss, how can this be possible? The most important thing for a woman is her reputation."
People in the world treat women harshly. It is not okay if they have a bad temper or a bad fate.
Jin Baobao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Miss, if you don't want to get married, then don't get married. Why torture yourself like this?"
Yu Shengsheng laughed at himself: "If I could let myself be, I wouldn't let you suffer with me."
"Mammy, do as I say. It's best to disperse them before the prince comes to the capital."
After Yu Shengsheng finished speaking, she closed her eyes tiredly.
She doesn't care about her fate. Her life is in her own hands. Sooner or later, she will get out of it.
Qi Mubai...wouldn't care about these things. He had said before that if he believed in fate, he would have accepted it long ago and would not have studied hard and fought hard until he became successful today.
Yu Shengsheng thought about Qi Mubai reading under the tree, and a hint of sweetness emerged in the depths of her heart, which was soaked in bitterness.
Grandma Wu is her warmth and Qi Mubai is her light.
It’s almost there, in less than a month, life will come to us.
The rain outside the window is getting heavier.
Mrs. Zhou changed the handkerchief on Yu Shengsheng's forehead over and over again.
Jin Baobao looked at the unconscious Yu Shengsheng, gritted his teeth and walked out.
…
Jin Baobao ran into a small alley and stopped halfway.
"come out!"
Two people appeared behind him, with steel knives in their hands flashing coldly.
Without saying a word, Jin Baobao rushed over and started fighting like a little leopard.
The two were both quite skilled, and in a two-on-one situation, Golden Leopard was not at the upper hand.
"Bang"!
After being hit in the chest by a punch, Jin Baobao took a few steps back and almost fell down, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
"You are quite skilled, but you are no match for us. Just surrender and you will not suffer any physical pain."
"Want to find Lu San? Don't even think about it!"
The two of them walked closer as they talked, and Golden Leopard suddenly jumped up: "Fuck you, Lu San!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two arrows flew towards him, piercing through the rain and hitting the two men in the throat. The arrow tips came out from the front, and there was a special mark on the cold black iron.
The two of them widened their eyes, and a few unclear words came out of their throats: "Red Dragon Guard..."
Hao Mengye walked slowly towards them with a crossbow in his hand, the red flame patterns on the corners of his black robe looked as if they were stained with blood.
Jin Baobao bit his lip, bowed his head and saluted: "Grand Commander."
"What are you doing out here? Didn't I tell you that I would send someone to look for you if anything happened?"
"It's important. Those bastards from the Su family want to marry the young lady to Kong Dezhao!"
Hao Mengye's eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you serious?"
"It is absolutely true. The young lady even asked about the time of the imperial examination."
Hao Mengye thought thoughtfully: "Pay attention to whether there is a scar on her left shoulder."
"She has a lot of scars," Jin Baobao added, "More than me."
Hao Mengye was stunned again, and after a while he said, "Left shoulder, a scar caused by the commander's unique hidden weapon."
He had to confirm whether the cousin of the Su family was the savior the commander was looking for.
Jin Baobao nodded: "Okay."
Hao Mengye turned to leave, and Jin Baobao couldn't help but said, "Commander-in-chief."
"What is it?"
"Can you make the young lady not marry Kong Dezhao?"
Hao Mengye turned around and looked at her: "I thought you were going to ask your brother."
"Is there any news about my brother?"
Hao Mengye: “…No.”
He turned around and walked a few steps without looking back: "Kong Dezhao will not be able to enter the capital smoothly."
Jin Baobao was delighted: "Thank you, Commander!"
When Yu Shengsheng woke up, it was already time to light the lamps.
I opened my eyes hazily, and in the warm light, I could vaguely see a moonlight-white figure, handsome and tall.
"Mu..."
Her lips trembled slightly and tears almost rolled down.
"Are you awake?" Su Yanshu felt a pang in his heart when he saw her red and watery eyes. "Did Second Brother feed you medicine?"
The word "Second Brother" brought Yu Shengsheng back to reality.
He raised his hand to wipe away the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and the aggrieved and fragile look on his face just now disappeared in an instant.
"I dare not trouble the Second Young Master."
Su Yanshu paused while stirring the medicine, the candlelight reflected in his eyes, adding a bit of warmth.
"Shengsheng, you will get better faster if you take the medicine. I know you are afraid of suffering, so I sent someone to buy you the candied fruit you like."
Yu Shengsheng had a poor health. When she first came, she didn’t know whether she was not used to it or what, but she got sick every now and then.
Su Dingqin was often in the military camp outside the city, and Mrs. Su had to take care of the affairs of the whole family, so the one who took care of her the most was Su Yanshu.
Yu Shengsheng felt that his second brother had a mild temper and a pleasant voice. Bitter medicine would become tasty after passing through his hands, not to mention that he also carefully prepared the candied fruit.
She was always reluctant to eat more, and there was still a lot of candied fruit left after she finished the medicine. When her second brother was not around, she could feel his love for her by eating one.
She had never been to a candied fruit shop until Su Zhiyi took her there. She then realized that there were no less than a hundred kinds of candied fruits, and Su Zhiyi knew them all. The ones she ate were given for free if she bought more.
Yu Shengsheng looked at the candied fruit that Su Yanshu handed over, lowered her eyes and said, "Second Young Master, is there anything else?"
Su Yanshu let out a light breath and handed the candied fruit to her mouth, not allowing her to refuse.
"The Nanshun Palace is a truly powerful and wealthy family. You can't be so willful."
Yu Shengsheng raised her eyes with a piercing gaze that seemed to be able to tear apart his hypocritical mask.
"A powerful and wealthy family? Should I thank the Su family for their painstaking efforts for me?"
Su Yanshu frowned slightly, but hid his anger without making a sound.
"Let me guess, does Kong Dezhao have some hidden illness? Is he destined to die young? Or does he already have eighteen concubines?"
The warmth on Su Yanshu's face faded, and his voice turned cold: "Shengsheng."
Yu Shengsheng smiled sarcastically: "It seems that I guessed right."
She wanted to say something else, but Su Yanshu pinched her jaw, forced her to open her mouth, and slowly and firmly put the candied fruit into her mouth.
"Kong Dezhao doesn't have any hidden illness. He is the only son of King Nanshun and he doesn't have any concubines. If you marry him, you will be the Crown Prince's consort. I will ask the Crown Prince to fight for you. After you give birth to your first son, I will let Kong Dezhao take a concubine."
Yu Shengsheng chewed the candied fruit: "Thank you so much, Second Young Master."
Su Yanshu wiped the stickiness off his fingers with a handkerchief: "Shengsheng, father is far away at the border. If you marry him, the emperor may let father return to the capital."
"You have your father's blood in your body, and your father loves you. You should do this for your father and the Su family."
"Be at ease and wait for your marriage. When the time comes, Second Brother will ask Grandmother to prepare a lot of dowry for you. We will never let you down." He spoke in a low and slow voice, but each word gradually became cold and hard. "So, you should also concentrate and learn how to be the consort of the Prince of Nanshun."
In the candlelight, Su Yanshu looked handsome, but his eyes were dark and bottomless.
He was a completely different person from the one who taught Yu Shengsheng the principles in the book.
Su Yanshu once said with a gentle smile that his father, elder brother and second brother were Shengsheng's umbrellas, protecting him from wind and rain. When Shengsheng returned home, it was like a bird returning to its nest. He just had to obey the arrangements of his father and brothers.
The words were still fresh in her mind. It turned out that the so-called following arrangements meant that she, the most insignificant person and the one least protected by the Su family, had to do everything for her father and the Su family.
How ridiculous.
Yu Shengsheng was extremely grateful that she had endured it again and again and had not told anyone in her family that she loved Qi Mubai. At that time, she only wanted to wait for Qi Mubai to pass the imperial examination so that she could introduce the best of him to her best family.
Yu Shengsheng spat out the candied fruit she had chewed: "Why don't the other members of the Su family work for the general and the Su family?"
"Let one of my cousins do it?"
