Chapter 87 Disturbing Xie Xiucai's Good Deeds
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings instantly became quiet.
Sun Po and others also listened attentively, waiting for Su Cheng to give an answer.
This mountain is really remote, there are no towns or villages around, not even a lake to be seen. How did my sister-in-law find her way here?
Su Cheng didn't even raise her head, concentrating on applying the medicine to him. She casually said, "I'm a fairy from heaven. I sensed you were in danger, so I came here on a cloud to save you. Okay?"
There was another burst of laughter outside the car, and everyone thought she was kidding.
Only Xie Suzhou believed that his Ah Cheng was a fairy from heaven.
After wrapping the gauze around his chest several times and making sure the bleeding had stopped, Su Cheng withdrew his hand and turned to look at his bag, muttering, "Is there enough dry food? Is the water bag full? Did you use all the blankets I brought for you?"
Xie Suzhou raised his hand to draw down the curtains. Hearing the wailing outside, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. When he looked at the woman beside him, his peach blossom eyes sparkled. He leaned over to her, his eyes focused, and asked in a deep voice, "Did Ah Cheng do what you promised me?"
Su Cheng frowned, not remembering what he had promised him. "What is it?"
"Miss me."
Su Cheng was slightly stunned, and turned away in panic. In his anxiety, he almost bit his tongue, "It's bright and clear - it's late at night, what nonsense are you talking about!"
The next moment, she was gently embraced in someone's arms.
Holding his beloved, Xie Suzhou rested his forehead against hers, sighed softly, and smiled tenderly, "I think about Ah Cheng all the time."
Su Cheng's cheeks burned hot. She wanted to push him away, but because of the wound on his chest, she couldn't move at all. She could only grit her teeth and say, "Let me go quickly. What will happen if the people outside see me?"
"So what if he saw it? You accepted the divorce letter and are now a free man." Xie Suzhou tightened his hand on her shoulder and said with a smile, "You are no longer my sister-in-law. I am pursuing you with all my heart. What's wrong with that?"
"you……"
"Ah Cheng is truly a fairy. Whenever I'm in trouble, she always rushes to my side."
The words were stuck on her lips, Su Cheng's body stiffened for a moment, and she leaned in his arms and calmed down.
"Before I die, I only pray to God to let me see you one more time, just once." Xie Suzhou's voice trembled as he pressed her into his arms. "Who knew that you would not only show up, but also save everyone's lives. My Ah Cheng is a heroine, she's really amazing."
Su Cheng was silent for a long time before she looked up at him and said softly, "No matter what happens, I'm here. Don't give up hope until the last moment."
Xie Suzhou smiled silently, his fingertips gently caressing her eyebrows. After a long while, he said seriously, "Ah Cheng, can I kiss you?"
Su Cheng was stunned. For a moment she could hardly believe her ears. "Wha...what?"
Xie Suzhou stared at her pink lips with a sharp gaze. Thinking of his transgression that night, her angry look was still etched in his mind. "I don't want you to be angry."
You can slap him, but you can't let Ah Cheng hate you.
Seeing those affectionate peach blossom eyes, Su Cheng was a little dazed and stared at him without saying a word.
Wearing coarse linen clothes, he looks handsome just by looking at his face.
Xie Suzhou's looks were truly outstanding, unlike the alluring Xie Jinyu and the cold and handsome Xie Ming. He was like the bright moonlight, cold and aloof. Talking about love with him was like dragging a god from heaven down to earth. There was an inexplicable sense of guilt, as if a person like him should not be desecrated by worldly love.
His love is like a pool of clear water. No matter which direction you look at it, it will only reflect Su Cheng's appearance.
Seeing her staring at him absentmindedly, Xie Suzhou's lips curled up slightly. For the first time, he felt that his face was quite useful.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as Ah Cheng's tacit consent."
He leaned over gently and placed a kiss on the corner of her lips. Seeing that the woman in his arms did not resist, he gradually grew bolder. He opened his thin lips and caressed her softness with gentle and soft movements, as if he was treating a treasure.
The forest was completely silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects. The two people in the car were huddled together, inseparable.
"Brother Sun, those people are carrying wine called Peach Blossom Wine."
Peach blossom wine?
Su Cheng came back to his senses instantly, raised his hand and gently pushed away the handsome face in front of him, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked outside.
"What is peach blossom wine? I've never heard of it." Sun Po scratched his head with his uninjured left hand, looking puzzled. "Sending more than a dozen top-notch martial arts masters just to escort these three boxes of wine? If there's something fishy about this wine, I'll eat this carriage!"
"It says 'Peach Blossom Wine' on the jug, but I've smelled it and it's just ordinary fruit wine, nothing to do with peach blossoms. It's pure fraud," the subordinate whispered, recalling the details. "It's just that the wine is displayed a little strangely. Three large boxes, none of them full, and the quantities are different. If they wanted to sell this wine, why wouldn't they ship it with full boxes?"
Sun Po was even more puzzled. He was a rough man to begin with, and he hated these twists and turns the most. "This... go get a pot of wine for Mr. Xie, he's disturbing me! It would be more satisfying to just slit my neck with a knife than to ask me to solve this mystery!"
"Brother Sun, let me take a look." Su Cheng bent down and got off the carriage, slowly walking up to him, "This peach blossom wine is a new thing in our town. It's all sold out as soon as it goes on the market. Let me take a look, maybe I can find something."
"Oh, that's great!" Sun Po nodded repeatedly, as if he had seen a savior. "My sister-in-law is very smart, she will definitely be able to find something unusual!"
Looking at the burly man in front of him, Su Cheng's mouth twitched twice and he couldn't help laughing.
Sun Po is much older than herself, but she still follows her master's way of addressing her, calling her "little sister-in-law" all the time, which is really distracting.
Su Cheng nodded to his subordinate beside him and said softly, "Please take me over to have a look."
Behind her stood Xie Suzhou with a murderous look on his face.
Xie Xiucai has always been gentle and rarely has a bad face. Sun Po looked unhappy and had a bad feeling in his heart.
He wouldn’t... disturb Mr. Xie’s good deeds, right?
Sun Po ordered several of his men to light torches to disperse the thick fog, and he was no longer afraid of attracting bandits.
My sister-in-law came with a powerful weapon. She has even defeated the masked man with such advanced martial arts skills. Why should she worry about a small bandit?
In the light of the fire, Su Cheng clearly saw the three boxes of peach blossom wine. The quantities were indeed different. Such a large mahogany box only held seven or eight pots of wine, and cotton was stuffed around the boxes to fix the position of the pots.
Su Cheng picked up the wine in the first box one by one, raised the wine jug above his head, and looked up at the bulge at the bottom of the jug.
"County... Gao... Yin..."
Su Cheng's brows knitted together slightly, and he kept repeating these words. The next moment, an idea suddenly struck him, "Ganping County Gao family! Someone asked the Gao family to meet at Yin time. It's likely they want to make some kind of deal!"
"Is this wine used by the person behind the scenes to pass on information?" Xie Suzhou realized it instantly and frowned. "No wonder the boxes are only full. This wine is different from what ordinary people drink. These three boxes are specifically meant to be sent to three different places."
"They could have sent a pigeon or trained informants. There are so many ways to pass on information, but the person behind this chose such a subtle method." Su Cheng curled his lips and spoke slowly, "The person behind this is probably someone powerful, with countless people watching their every word and action, which is why they resorted to such a desperate measure."
Somehow, a person's name suddenly popped up in her mind. She looked at Xie Suzhou and spoke in tacit understanding.
"Loyal to the king."
"It's the King's loyalty."
