"I'm glad you have the means to protect yourself, otherwise you would have been tortured to death before I came back."
"I've died once, and I won't die easily again." Seeing Chu Yifei's confused face, Su Qingran laughed at herself, "Outside the South City Gate that year, if you hadn't saved me, I would have been buried in the snow and followed my mother.
My mother and my father were engaged, but because of a sudden change in my maternal grandfather's family, the engagement was cancelled. My father asked someone to kidnap my mother when my maternal grandfather was exiled, and the two were reunited. "
Chu Yifei suddenly admired General Su very much. For the sake of his fiancée, he actually kidnapped someone on the way to exile. How many risks must he take to do such a thing?
If it is discovered, it will be a capital crime.
Su Qingran was immersed in her own memories, and she regarded Chu Yifei as the only person to whom she could open her heart.
"My grandmother forced my father to marry a wife, but he had no choice. Later, she found an opportunity to help my mother pass away and become a concubine in the mansion.
The lady was jealous of my mother's favor, so she asked her to take care of her mother while she was pregnant in the middle of winter. She caught a cold and became seriously ill, eventually resulting in the death of both of them.
My mother was tortured to death. I was very scared at the time and felt that the mighty general's mansion was a place where people were eaten. I crawled out of the dog hole and tried to find my mother, but it was too late and I couldn't find her.
After she finished speaking, Su Qingran's face was unconsciously covered with tears.
"I thought maybe I could see her if I died, so I squatted outside the South City Gate, waiting for the heavy snow to bury me, hoping that you would rescue me."
Although the little girl was crying, her expression was calm. What kind of suffering must she have gone through to have such a state of mind?
He took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her, motioning her to wipe her tears.
"It's all over, don't be sad anymore."
Taking the handkerchief, Su Qingran wiped away her tears: "Before I met you, I never dared to release my emotions. Since my mother passed away, my father never returned to the capital.
Madam kept me because she wanted to use me as bait to lure my father. But she was wrong. My father only cared about my mother, and I didn't mean much to him.
Madam has also seen that once my elder sister's marriage is settled, my unlucky days will begin. Can you do me a favor?"
"What favor? Tell me."
"Please tell Lin Hong, the son of Lin Geng, the Imperial Academy tutor, about my eldest sister's marriage proposal to you."
"Why? What does Lin Hong do?"
Chu Yifei was extremely curious. He felt that the little girl was playing a game of chess, and she was very skilled at it. Even he became a chess piece in her hands.
"Lin Hong is my eldest sister's admirer and admirer. He has passed the imperial examination and will be sent to serve as an official." Su Qingran briefly introduced him to Chu Yifei, "Unfortunately, he has not passed the examination yet. My eldest sister thinks he is useless, and the two broke up not long ago.
Lin Hong came here several times in a low voice but never saw his elder sister. If he knew that his elder sister had changed her mind, and someone else said something mean to him, he would be so bold as to come here and make trouble. "
Chu Yifei: "......"
Is this little girl planning something for Su Qinghui?
"Oh no, someone's coming again." Chu Yifei stood up and walked to the window. "I really have to leave this time. Take care of yourself. I will definitely get it done."
Su Qingran nodded slightly and watched Chu Yifei climb out of the window again.
After several breaths, Mother Li, who was beside the lady, pushed open the door of the ancestral hall. Seeing that Su Qingran did not slack off but knelt respectfully, her face looked much better.
He said in a condescending tone: "Madam, please be merciful and let you go back to your room. Go quickly!"
Su Qingran was stunned. He turned his head to look at Mother Li, then struggled to get up and limped out of the ancestral hall.
Chu Yifei came back from the mighty general's mansion. The more he thought about it, the more interesting he found the girl. She actually wanted to find a way to destroy Su Qinghui's reputation.
In this way, there would be no legitimate daughter of the right age for her to marry in the Weiwu General's Mansion. He could then find a way to bring the little girl back, and the matter would be complete.
The next morning, he went to his mother's yard to pay his respects and visit his sister.
Chu Xiaoxiao has woken up and is being held in Chu Zhinan's arms. His greatest pleasure now is to tease his daughter.
Yang was busy with other things. After Chu Yifei greeted her, he deliberately said, "Mother! I heard that Su Qinghui, the daughter of the mighty general's mansion, and Lin Hong, the son of Lin Geng, the attendant reader of the Hanlin Academy, have been in love for a long time."
Chu Zhinan, who was teasing his daughter, was stunned for a moment, then looked up and asked his eldest son: "Is the source of the news reliable?"
[Lin Hong? Why does this name sound so familiar? ]
As soon as Chu Xiaoxiao's thoughts came out, everyone in the Chu family pricked up their ears and listened carefully. Yang even stopped the work in her hands and held her breath, afraid of missing a word.
Chu Yifei did not answer his father's question, waiting to hear what his sister had to say.
Sister! Tell me, why does it sound familiar?
Chu Yimo, Chu Yilin and Chu Yishang, who came in later, did not dare to greet their parents. Chu Zhinan stared at them sharply.
They dare not act rashly.
[Ah! I remember now. Lin Hong was the one who supervised the execution of the Duke of Huguo. He was the heroine's licker, and he licked her on his knees.]
Chu Zhinan frowned: "......"
A dog is a dog, but he licks? He likes to lick with his tongue? That's disgusting.
Everyone in the Chu family: "......"
That's all? Can't you reveal a little more? It makes me feel sad!
[Lin Hong is not very good at studying, but he is very good at dealing with people and has good connections. Su Qinghui left the Duke of Huguo's mansion just to marry him, but the heroine disagreed and became Lin Hong's mistress.]
Chu Yifei: "......"
Isn't this heroine too overbearing? She even controls people's marriage and childbirth? Concubines? She abandons her husband and children just to be someone's concubine?
Chu Yimo: "......"
Lin Hong, the son of Lin Geng, the Imperial Academy tutor? I remember this name.
Chu Yilin and Chu Yishang silently paid their respects to Yang and Chu Zhinan, then sat aside and listened to their sister's thoughts.
[After the heroine became the empress, Lin Hong was appointed as the prime minister and became the heroine's lover. ]
Chu Zhinan: “…”
The heroine became the empress? Lin Hong was appointed as the prime minister? He supervised the execution of the Duke of Huguo? He made the heads of all the family members roll neatly?
Humph! Then kill the heroine and Lin Hong, and see how he can become the prime minister and the executioner.
Chu Yifei and Chu Yimo looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
It turned out that Su Qinghui severed ties with the Duke of Huguo's Mansion in advance because of Lin Hong.
Yang took a deep breath and looked at her daughter who was waving her hands and feet and spitting bubbles of saliva, her eyes full of love.
After the family had breakfast, Yang took Chu Xiaoxiao to the old duke and the old lady. She had to talk to them about this matter.
Chu Zhinan and Chu Yifei went to the camp outside Beijing, while Chu Yimo went to the street market to do what his elder brother asked him to do.
Chu Yimo went to the academy to study, while Chu Yishang practiced martial arts at home.
He is not a good student. The old Duke said that one should make the best use of everything, no matter what he does, as long as he is interested in it.
