Chapter 283 Raised Two Blood Bags
Su Cheng spoke frankly and said softly, "I went to Tinggu Lane today."
She walked to the bedside very naturally and sat down. Noticing her movements, Xie Jinyu's eyes flashed with a smile, and his palm touched her waist belt restlessly, "Are you looking for Princess Rongqing again?"
"We went looking for a couple." Su Cheng slapped his disruptive hand away and said sternly, "The head of the family's surname is Sui. He and his wife, Yuan, have two sons. The eldest was kidnapped at the age of four and has never been heard from since. The youngest was lost in Panshui Town at the age of five and his whereabouts are unknown."
Xie Jinyu paused, and the curve of the corners of her lips gradually lowered.
Su Cheng noticed the subtle change in his expression and said softly, "Jinyu, I believe you are also aware of the identity of this family, right?"
Xie Jinyu sat up straight and said indifferently, "Did you find them?"
His tone was light and flirtatious, without the surprise that Su Cheng had expected.
"You..." Su Cheng noticed something was wrong and frowned slightly, "You already knew who your biological parents are?"
Xie Jinyu pulled the corner of her lip and nodded slightly. "Ever since you told me about my life story, I've been secretly investigating. Aunt Liu said that when I was brought into the Xie family, I was thin and the clothes I wore were not of the best material. I looked like I had never eaten a full meal and could die at any time. They thought I was a child from a poor mountain village."
"The Xie family elders were away from home for a long time, and my second brother and I grew up relying on Aunt Liu for support. She always said that I smelled like medicinal herbs when I was a child. When Old Man Du came home, I became his disciple. Learning medicine was as easy as eating and drinking water. I vaguely realized that this might be a skill inherited from my biological parents."
"Old Man Du hasn't been around for nothing all these years. He and Sui Yunchuan are old acquaintances. When he was teaching me how to identify medicine, he happened to mention this person to me, and I kept him in mind."
Xie Jinyu raised her head, her eyes as bright as autumn water. "They hurriedly ran from Shanmiao Village to the capital because I wrote them an anonymous letter saying that I knew the whereabouts of the two children."
Su Cheng pursed her lips, her heart sinking to the bottom of the valley. "From your tone, it seems that you have no intention of recognizing your relatives?"
Xie Jinyu curled her lips and smiled heartlessly, "I thought about it before, but since you brought Ping'er back, I have completely put this thought aside."
"Why...why?" Su Cheng was puzzled.
"When I first met Ping'er, you were seriously injured and unconscious. When Old Man Du took his pulse, he said that the child was pitifully thin, with a severe loss of Qi and blood. There was a new scar on his heart the size of a fingernail." Xie Jinyu's eyes turned colder as she thought of something. "Old Man guessed that the fingernail-sized wound might have been used for bleeding."
"Bleeding?" Su Cheng instantly understood what he meant. "Insect?"
"That's right, you are worthy of being my Ah Cheng, you are so smart." Xie Jinyu chuckled and wanted to move closer to ask for a kiss, but Su Cheng raised his hand and pushed her away.
Su Cheng's expression was gloomy, his eyes full of coldness, "Be serious."
Xie Jinyu was disappointed, but she finally calmed down a little. She gently lifted her clothes with her fingertips, revealing her porcelain-white skin. Near her heart, there was a slightly raised light pink scar.
Su Cheng's face changed drastically. His hand trembled as he touched the scar. The corners of his eyes turned red. "How come...it's been twenty years, and this scar is still there..."
Seeing her red eyes, Xie Jinyu curled the corners of his lips and actually chuckled.
Su Cheng raised his eyes and glared at him, his voice muffled, "What are you laughing at?"
"You feel sorry for me." Xie Jinyu's eyebrows curved, and he looked very cheerful. He stirred up trouble with his handsome face that made people unable to slap him, and his palm pressed against her slender waist. "Second brother is not as good-looking as me, Ah Cheng, why don't you marry me?"
Su Cheng rolled his eyes at him and pretended to pull his hand away.
Xie Jinyu reacted very quickly. He grabbed her soft little hand, placed his palm against his chest, and forced her to feel his heartbeat. "Ah Cheng, you like me too."
Su Cheng glared at him and said calmly, "Xie Jinyu, you were raised by your second brother himself."
"I know I've let my second brother down." Xie Jinyu placed a light kiss on her lips, her smile even more charming than a woman's. "As long as Ah Cheng has me in her heart, I'm willing to be her mistress, even if it means being hidden from the public for the rest of my life. If possible, I'd like Ah Cheng to learn from the ancient Martial Emperor and take Ah Ming in as well. That way, we can truly become a family."
Anyway, my second brother and A Ming are not as good-looking as me.
Beneath his handsome and generous appearance, he hides a fox-like cunningness.
Su Cheng pinched the scar on his heart hard, and listened to his deep groan, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, "You can give orders, but have you got my consent?"
Xie Jinyu had an innocent look on her face, a gentle smile in her eyes, and she spoke like a spoiled child, "Ah Cheng, just because you put on a skirt, don't you want to take responsibility?"
The ending tone rises gently, which is more seductive than a foxy woman.
He really knows how to use his face.
Su Cheng pulled his hand away and got back to business. "I never thought that my rash approach would ruin your plans. What was your original plan?"
Xie Jinyu leaned back on the soft pillow, her long eyelashes drooping, hiding the emotions in her eyes. "I don't have any plans. I just want to return this scar to Sui Yunchuan."
Su Cheng's face darkened, and he pondered secretly in his heart.
According to Xie Jinyu's current attitude, it is completely impossible for her to recognize her relatives, and the task given by the system is unlikely to be accomplished.
Sui Yunchuan has evil intentions and can even harm his own son. Xie Jinyu is a vengeful person. When father and son meet, they are like enemies.
But does Yuan Shaoqing really know about the dirty things Sui Yunchuan did?
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Jinyu looked at her with a gentle smile, "Are you worried about me?"
"I showed up, and Sui Yunchuan probably mistook me for the letter writer." Su Cheng sighed softly, his face heavy. "I think his wife might not know the real situation. When she mentioned her two sons, she was very emotional, just like a loving mother desperately searching for her children. In comparison, Sui Yunchuan was much calmer."
"Of course, we can't judge good and evil by appearance. Yuan might be acting." Su Cheng pinched his brow, his mind in a tizzy. "They used the child's heart blood to feed the Gu worms. Isn't that the same as raising two blood bags? In this case, they would have wanted to tie the child to their belts. How could they let Ping'er get lost?"
Xie Jinyu's lips curved in an unwavering smile. "That's what confuses me. Ping'er is a well-behaved person. She would never get lost in Panshui Town, a place she's not familiar with, just because she wants to play around. After we moved to the capital, we were so busy with the housework that we had no time to take care of our three children. Ping'er has always stayed within Old Man Du's sight and never wandered off."
"I suspect that Ping'er was let go by Yuan herself, but she encountered some problems later and was injured on the way to escape, which is why she lost her memory."
