Chapter 231: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Yu Shengsheng felt relieved when she heard Cheng Su agreed.
But when I heard him say that it was out of gratitude, I felt a little embarrassed to say it.
What kind of favor is that about what happened back then?
Yu Shengsheng glanced at Jin Baobao, and Jin Baobao understood and handed the bag over.
Lin'er reached out to take it, but Cheng Su took it himself.
"What's this?"
Yu Shengsheng said frankly: "Some paper, pens, ink, and a bag of loose silver and copper coins."
Cheng Su was startled for a moment, then he laughed: "It seems that you have learned a lot about my situation. I am indeed poor, and I can really use it."
"Then I'll be welcome."
Seeing that he was straightforward and unconstrained, Yu Shengsheng thought about it and then spoke frankly to him.
“Mr. Cheng, before I came here, I didn’t know that you were from that time. I actually wanted to cooperate with you.”
"My life in the Su family was not smooth. You can see from the marriage that the marriage was not false news I deliberately spread. It was true."
Cheng Su's smile froze slightly: "Go on."
"It was Madam Cheng and Madam Su who reached an agreement. May I ask if there is a doctor in your house who is good at treating weakness?"
Cheng Su nodded, wondering why she suddenly asked this.
Yu Shengsheng continued, "In order to get me to marry Cheng Ziheng, Madam Su put drugs in my food and drink, which made me weaker and weaker."
Cheng Su understood at once: "I understand."
"People treat me like fish, so I can't just sit there and wait for death. Coincidentally, you have a grudge against the Rongguo Mansion, so I want to cooperate with you."
"They have to pay more than what they have now."
Cheng Su held the bundle and nodded slowly, with a cold look in his eyes.
"Okay, I promise."
He added: "It was a considered agreement, not just a way of repaying a favor."
Yu Shengsheng smiled very slowly and bowed: "Thank you very much."
"Since we are cooperating, there is no need to thank us. The result we have achieved is what we all hope to see."
"Then, go to the academy. If you need anything, I don't have much money, but if it's the four treasures of the study, I can help you."
"Please just write and say so."
Cheng Su smiled lightly: "This is already very good, these are also the most expensive. This time when I went to Qingming Academy, the dean treated me very well, exempted one year of tuition, and also let me copy books."
Cheng Su looked at Lin'er and said, "Lin'er, go back first and have a good rest."
Lin'er nodded, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Yu Shengsheng didn’t know the relationship between the two of them, but she didn’t ask. It had nothing to do with her.
What's more, Lin'er just had a miscarriage. Even if it was a trap, the price would be high. If she doesn't want to talk, then don't talk.
Cheng Su knelt down in front of the grave again and kowtowed respectfully: "Father, Mother, Miss Yu is here today too, are you happy?"
He stroked the tombstone and whispered, "My son is gone. I will come to see you another day."
"I came here on horseback, how about you?" Cheng Su asked.
"I've rented a carriage," Yu Shengsheng pointed to the distance, "Then we'll say goodbye here. If you need anything, I'll write to you."
Cheng Su took out a few pages of paper and said, "This is the book I copied. This is my handwriting."
He took out a seal from the small cloth bag at his side and stamped it.
"If I were writing a letter, this would always be at the end."
"Mr. Cheng is very meticulous. There is a list in your bag. I wrote it myself."
"Okay, see you next day."
Yu Shengsheng got on the carriage and Jin Baobao drove away. Only then did Cheng Su tie the baggage to the horse's back and told the servant to leave as well.
Yu Shengsheng was very happy that things went better than she expected.
After going a short distance, the carriage suddenly slowed down.
Jin Baobao whispered, "Miss, there are people ahead."
Yu Shengsheng lifted the car curtain and looked out.
Most of this road leads to cemeteries and wilderness, and there are not many pedestrians. She saw two horses picking up people by the woods in front of her, as if they were waiting for someone.
One of them was a burly man with a knife slung over his shoulder, looking around.
The other person who was yawning was Cheng Ziheng.
Yu Shengsheng whispered, "Stop the car."
Jin Baobao had slowed down early and immediately pulled the reins when he was told to stop.
"Baobao, wait here. I'll go and inform Master Cheng."
"Miss, be careful."
Jin Baobao wanted to ask Yu Shengsheng to wait while she went to deliver the letter, but then she thought that Cheng Ziheng was not a good person. What if he left Yu Shengsheng here and something dangerous happened?
Yu Shengsheng got out of the car and walked back quickly.
After turning an intersection, I saw Cheng Su riding a horse towards me.
She waved her hand quickly, and Cheng Su reined in his horse, dismounted, and asked, "What's wrong? Is the carriage broken?"
Yu Shengsheng whispered, "No, it's Cheng Ziheng. He's in the woods ahead with a group of people and a knife. He doesn't look like a good guy. There's only one person outside, and I don't know if there are any more inside."
"I feel like he doesn't seem to be resting, but waiting for someone."
Maybe he was waiting for Cheng Su, and when he got angry enough, he wanted to kill him in the wild.
Cheng Su was calm: "It's not like they're coming for me. If they want to kill me, there are many ways to do it. This is not the best strategy."
The servant was a little worried: "Sir, you'd better be careful."
Yu Shengsheng thought quickly: "Otherwise, I'll go over and find out. He shouldn't be on guard against me."
"No," Cheng Su refused. "If he really wants me, I can't let you put yourself in danger."
"Well, you go back first, I'll wait here and watch him secretly to see what he is going to do."
Yu Shengsheng sensed the danger, so how could she just leave? However, she didn't know martial arts, and if there was an emergency, she would only be a burden to others.
Thinking of this, she thought quickly: "I'll go first, but you don't go over there, wait for me for 25 minutes, I'll go find someone to help."
Cheng Su has not agreed yet. He also feels that Cheng Ziheng would not appear here for no reason, and such a big thing has happened in the mansion, so there must be a reason for his appearance here.
"It's settled," Yu Shengsheng said, then turned and left.
She lifted her skirt and walked quickly. Cheng Su seemed to see the little girl from that year.
She said, "Wait a minute, I have some herbs."
Then, he turned around like this.
The servant asked softly, "Sir, what should we do?"
"Do as she says."
…
Yu Shengsheng returned to the carriage and whispered, "Baobao, hurry up, go back to the city and go to Zhenqiao Tower."
"yes."
He shook the reins and headed straight into the city.
When passing the grove, Yu Shengsheng did not look out from the car curtain. She remembered that when she was in Zhenqiao Tower, she had heard the Red Dragon Guards mention that masters often did not need to use their hands, but could sense the presence of their opponents with just a glance.
That is an extremely high level of sensitivity, which all masters possess.
She also didn't know the background of the person next to Cheng Ziheng, so she couldn't gamble.
When the carriage passed by, Cheng Ziheng glanced at it but didn't take it seriously.
The person next to him stared at the carriage and observed it.
An ordinary carriage, from the horses to the body of the carriage, is extremely ordinary, nothing special.
The carriage was moving farther away, and Yu Shengsheng was about to enter the city.
