Chapter 285: Feeding Insects with Blood
-
Tinggu Lane
The courtyard door creaked open a crack, and the people inside opened the door only after seeing clearly what was outside.
The door opened and closed, and the alley returned to silence.
"Why are you here at this hour?" Rong Qing, wearing only her husband's outer robe and inner clothes, trotted over and naturally reached out to take Su Cheng's belongings. "You have so many bags, even two maids can't carry them all. Are you going on a long journey?"
Su Cheng's eyebrows curved, her smile bright, and she said coquettishly, "I plan to stay here for two days, Princess. Will you kick me out?"
"Why would I chase you away? This is your yard." Rong Qing glared at her, but couldn't suppress a smile. "You're always talking nonsense."
Bai Moyan frowned slightly. Seeing that the two maids were carrying four or five bundles, worry flashed in his eyes. "Ah Cheng, tell me the truth, are you in trouble?"
Rong Qing's smile faltered, and he quickly asked, "Did someone bully you?"
Su Cheng couldn't help laughing and gently patted the back of Rong Qing's hand to comfort him, "I have the prince consort and the princess to protect me, who dares to bully me?"
"Don't pretend." Rong Qing stared at her with dissatisfaction. "If you weren't in trouble, why would you come here in the middle of the night? For you to escape from the Zhao family, the situation must be quite serious."
"You're not the type to run away at the last minute." Bai Moyan said seriously as he took the luggage from Rong Qing and placed it on the stone table in the yard. He looked as if he wouldn't let Su Cheng sleep peacefully until he had explained everything clearly. "You didn't stay with the Zhao family, you didn't go to the Xie family, but instead came to this alley. Tell me, why?"
"Tell me the truth right now!" Rong Qing pulled Su Cheng to the stone table and sat down, saying with a stern face, "No matter how big the problem is, we will support you. As long as the sky is not leaking, there is no need to panic."
Su Cheng felt a little moved, and her eyes felt a little sore. She lowered her head and told everyone everything about the Sui family.
"It's just one house away." Rong Qing lowered his voice deliberately, patting his chest with lingering fear. "Fortunately, I didn't speak loudly just now... This couple is so inhuman. They actually used their own child as a blood bag to feed the Gu worms. They are simply beasts! Are humans less important than insects?"
After saying this, Rong Qing's eyes were red again. "Xie San Gongzi was so handsome, but I never thought his life would be so miserable..."
"Shh, don't make a sound." Bai Moyan put a finger to his lips and said in a deep voice, "Since Sui Yunchuan sent someone to follow you, and that person hasn't returned yet, he must have realized that he's been exposed. Who knows, he might act even more boldly."
"There are secret guards left by our father near this courtyard. It's very safe. Just stay here and nothing will go wrong." Bai Moyan was silent for a moment, then continued, "According to Ah Cheng, Jinyu left home when she was young, and they lost Ping'er. Who has been taking care of those poisonous insects in the past few months?"
Rong Qing answered subconsciously, "Of course it was Sui Yunchuan himself."
Bai Moyan shook his head, denying her idea. "He can even harm his own child, so how could he be willing to use his own blood to feed a Gu worm?"
"You mean..." Rong Qing paused, swallowed unconsciously, and got goose bumps all over his body, "He used Yuan Shaoqing's blood..."
"That's what I guessed." Bai Moyan nodded, his expression solemn. "Ah Cheng, when you saw his wife, did you pay attention to her figure?"
"I only took a quick look at her. Judging from her figure alone, Yuan Shaoqing is a lot thinner than me." Su Cheng also came back to his senses and replied with a frown, "She has fair skin. Although she is dressed simply, she wears lipstick, so I can't judge her complexion."
"I'm probably right." Bai Moyan sighed and rubbed his brow. "Perhaps she is experiencing the pain of having two children, so she sent you a message asking you to hide the whereabouts of the two children."
Rong Qing was so angry that he was shaking all over. "This bastard...if he falls into my hands tomorrow, I will definitely skin him alive!"
Bai Moyan had no choice but to comfort her softly, "Don't get too excited. Be careful of the child."
"Child?" Su Cheng immediately grasped the key point and quickly looked at Rong Qing's still flat belly.
When it comes to the child, Rong Qing had to calm down and smiled shyly at Su Cheng, "It's only been a little over a month. I was thinking of telling you after the third month when the pregnancy is stable, but I never thought you would know it in advance."
Su Cheng hurriedly stood up and whispered, "Since you're pregnant, why are you still standing outside in the middle of the night? Go back to the house quickly. I'll clean up the empty west wing myself. I'll give you a good rest tomorrow morning."
“Eh…”
Rong Qing wanted to say something else, but Su Cheng gently pushed him back into the house.
Bai Moyan has always been indulgent towards his women, and now that the one he loves is pregnant, he indulges her even more lawless. Now that Su Cheng is here, there is just one more person who can look after Rong Qing.
"You two stay home. I'll keep an eye on the Sui family." Bai Moyan said, then went back to the house to take out his nightgown. After getting dressed, he came out and warned Su Cheng, "Remember, you can't show up again."
Sui family next door
"Don't come over here... please..."
Yuan Shao leaned forward and kept shrinking back, but there was a wall behind her. She had nowhere to retreat and could only plead with her walnut eyes, "Husband, I beg you, let's just ignore those poisonous insects, okay?"
At the door, Sui Yunchuan faced her, holding a dagger in his hand. Although he was smiling, the cruelty in his eyes was not hidden at all. "Madam, we have come this far. Are we going to give up all our efforts?"
"But it hurts so much..." Yuan Shaoqing's eyes were filled with fear, and her body couldn't stop trembling. Now, she had no choice but to beg, "I have to take blood twice a day, and the wound doesn't even have time to heal. My flesh and blood are being peeled off alive, and I almost faint from the pain every time!"
Sui Yunchuan gradually approached, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes flashed with madness, "Madam, be good, they don't want much."
"But after so many years, those bugs have grown to the size of babies!" Yuan Shaoqing wrapped himself in a quilt, touching the wound, and the smell of blood filled the room.
Sui Yunchuan closed his eyes, the smell of blood constantly rushing into his nose. He actually revealed a hint of enjoyment, "Madam, these poisonous insects have fed on your heart's blood. They are no different from your own children. If one day we are forced to die, these poisonous insects can save our lives."
"No... I don't want it!" Yuan Shaoqing no longer wanted to listen to his coaxing and raised her voice, "Sui Yunchuan, I am your wife! Ling'er and Xiang'er have suffered so much at your hands. Now, are you going to point the knife at me?"
"No?" Sui Yunchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the curve of his mouth suddenly widened. "That's not up to you."
