Chapter 94 You Are Still Lying to Me
The year of Shen Xiu is approaching
He stared closely at the man in black. Even though the man opposite him only showed his eyes, they were a pair of eyes that were so familiar to him that he could not forget them.
"I never knew you could fight."
His tone was calm but extremely firm, proving that he had already determined the identity of the person opposite him.
He even called out her name.
"Susu, what are you doing with Pei Zhouwu's military token?"
The person opposite turned around hastily and tried to jump out of the window, but Chen Xiunian did not let her succeed. He kicked a stool over to block her. When she turned around again, Chen Xiunian was already close to her and reached out to grab the cloth covering her face.
She dodged hurriedly and exchanged a few moves with Shen Xiunian.
After all, Chen Xiunian was a veteran general with good skills. After just a few rounds, he reached in front of her and grabbed the black cloth.
When he pulled it, the face revealed was none other than Jiang Susu!
"When did you start following me?" Jiang Susu took a few steps back and became wary of him.
"when?"
Shen Xiunian smiled sadly, his face was indescribably bitter.
"You should ask when I started to doubt you," he said.
After he finished speaking, he looked down at the military token held in Jiang Susu's hand. Worried that he would snatch it, Jiang Susu held it tighter and even hid it behind her.
"A real military talisman will not reflect light under candlelight."
Shen Xiunian did not lie. He knew that the military token was fake after just a glance from a distance.
Besides, it is not easy to find a military token that can mobilize thousands of troops.
Jiang Susu didn't care, she said: "Even if it's fake, I want it. Shen Xiunian, if you want to expose me, tie me up now, otherwise, don't bother with my business."
"Huaijun is my son. If something happens to you, what will happen to him? How can you ask me to ignore it?"
Chen Xiunian gritted his teeth, approached her, grabbed her arm and snatched the military token from her hand.
Then, put it back into Miglia.
Jiang Susu still refused to give up. She pushed and bumped into the corner of the table, and she bent over in pain.
Seeing her in such a miserable state, Shen Xiunian's eyes finally turned red.
He leaned over, picked her up, and carried her out the door, not letting go even though she struggled and punched.
There was a carriage parked outside the house.
Chen Xiunian took Jiang Susu on board, and then the carriage slowly set off in silence.
The car drove forward for a long time and finally stopped somewhere unknown. The two people in the car remained silent for a long time and no one moved.
"Let's go."
It was Shen Xiunian who spoke first, and he was the first to lift the curtain and get off the carriage.
The carriage stopped outside an abandoned and dilapidated house. In the night, one could still see the blackened wood blocks that had not been cleaned up in the yard.
This was the yard where he and Jiang Susu lived seven years ago.
But now, seven years later, everything has changed.
"What did you bring me here for?"
Jiang Susu got off the carriage and stood beside Shen Xiunian. The words she spoke sounded a little cold, as if she was not touched by the old place.
Shen Xiunian did not answer, but just pushed the dilapidated gate and walked in.
After he entered the room, Jiang Susu behind him lowered her eyes, revealing a bit of bitterness that was hard to conceal.
After struggling for a while, she followed him in.
Just look at Chen Xiunian, ignoring the dirt, and sitting down on the dusty stone steps, and just watching Jiang Susu approach him calmly, and finally stand in front of him.
"I'm not a fool," he said.
"You said you escaped from the fire seven years ago. Whose body was that found in the fire?"
He guessed that Jiang Susu would definitely say she didn't know.
"I don't know about this."
really!
Shen Xiunian lowered his head and smiled, his face full of sadness.
"Susu, what is your relationship with Prime Minister Jiang in the capital?" he asked again.
Just now, Jiang Susu was still calm.
When she heard Prime Minister Jiang's words, her eyes dodged and she looked a little guilty.
"Today, please don't lie to me anymore." Shen Xiunian's words were pleading.
Jiang Susu lowered her eyes and stopped looking at him, only asking, "You know everything?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you right now."
Under the moonlight, Jiang Susu's face was not much different from seven years ago, but when Shen Xiunian looked at her now, he no longer felt the same fiery throbbing in his heart. It was indeed true, seven years had passed, and so many things had changed in those seven years.
"Back then, you were captured by the enemy. They threatened me that if they wanted to rescue you, they would open Nanxia Pass and let in a few of their spies."
Shen Xiunian recounted what happened that year in detail.
The things that had been hidden in his heart for seven years tormented him day and night.
"At that time, I just found out that I was not of the Shen family's bloodline. I understood why my father didn't love me since I was a child and refused to hug me until his death. I also understood the way my mother always looked at me with tears and resentment. At that time, I felt that you were the only one left in my world and I was even more afraid of losing you. A slight change of mind led to a big mistake."
He had a smile on his face but tears in his eyes.
"That team of spies crossed from Yunan to Zhaoxi and used despicable means to poison almost all the people in the city, including the soldiers defending the city and Pei Zhouwu's entire army. Then Zhaoxi City was captured, Pei Zhouwu was defeated in that battle, and he was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy."
The more he talked, the more Jiang Susu dared not look at him.
Tears were also in her lowered eyes, and when she couldn't hold back, they fell heavily to the ground.
"Susu, actually I doubted you back then."
He looked at Jiang Susu, at her face that didn't want to look him in the eye.
"You died in the fire, but I found a letter at home about Prime Minister Jiang's correspondence with the enemy country. I racked my brains to not connect that letter with you, but there are too many strange things. But you are already gone, so I would rather believe that you are also a victim. I thought they deliberately kidnapped you to threaten me, but now..."
Unconsciously, tears rolled down the curve of his cheeks.
"Susu, you approached me with a purpose from the beginning, right?"
Jiang Susu was already sobbing, her shoulders were trembling slightly, and her brows were tightly knitted together.
"Now, are you going to lie to me again?" Shen Xiunian asked with a crying voice.
Suddenly.
Jiang Susu rushed over, grabbed his hand and squatted in front of him.
"I have no choice. I have no choice. My mother is in his hands. I can only do what he says. I am just Jiang Yan's illegitimate daughter. My mother has no status either. I have no right to resist him at all."
The prime minister of the time was named Jiang Yan.
Jiang Susu is his illegitimate daughter.
Chen Xiunian turned his face away, and it was unclear whether he was crying or laughing.
There are so many people with the surname Jiang in the world. How could he have thought that Jiang Susu would actually be the daughter of Jiang Yan.
“He, he…”
Jiang Susu couldn't pretend any longer and cried like crazy.
"Jiang Yan wants to compete with the Pei family for power, for the position of crown prince. He wants to make Concubine Li's son and his grandson the crown prince, so he wants to bring down the Pei family. But he is also afraid that you hold a large number of troops but are unwilling to join his party and become his helper. That's why he came up with this plan to kill two birds with one stone. He not only restrains you and drags you into the water, but also gets rid of me, Pei Guojiu..."
