Chapter 280 Triggering a Limited-Time Mission
-
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Yun Ya emerged halfway from the carriage and said, "Miss Zhao, we've arrived at Tinggu Alley."
Su Cheng got out of the car calmly and smiled at her, "I know this place better than you do. Which courtyard does Doctor Sui live in?"
Yun Ya recalled carefully, "Abu told me it was the fifth house in the alley."
Just one house away.
Su Cheng raised his eyes slightly, his gaze fell on the gate of the fifth courtyard, and said softly, "Let's go."
There was a knock on the gate, and after a long time, footsteps were heard in the yard.
"Who is it?"
The person who opened the door was a woman, dressed in a blue cloth, with her hair in a neat bun. Although she was dressed simply, she was clean and neat, without even a patch on her body. She was very beautiful, and the years had left no trace of wrinkles on her face. If she let her long hair down, people would believe she was an unmarried girl.
The woman frowned slightly, her gaze lingering on Su Cheng's face for a moment, "Who... are you looking for?"
"Is the surname of the family living here Sui?" Yun Ya spoke first, handing over the letter she had been holding in her hand for a long time. "I am Kubu's daughter. You can call me Yun Ya. I came here today to deliver a letter for my Abu. Sorry to bother you."
"Kub's daughter?" The woman was stunned for a moment, then noticed her long, slightly curly hair and smiled a little. "It's a long way to get here, little girl. Why did you come here? Come in, have some tea and sit for a while."
Yun Ya smiled sweetly, took Su Cheng's hand, and squeezed into the courtyard.
The woman picked up the teapot and poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for each of the two girls. "My last name is Yuan, you can just call me Aunt Yuan."
Compared to Yun Ya's reservedness, Su Cheng seemed much more at ease. His almond-shaped eyes moved as he surveyed the courtyard. Seeing that no one else was there, he spoke calmly, "Isn't Divine Doctor Sui at home?"
"He went out earlier." Aunt Yuan raised her eyes and observed Su Cheng calmly, "Does this girl have something to do with him?"
Putting aside her pretty little face, this girl was dressed in high-quality materials, with a straight back, well-mannered speech and extraordinary temperament. She was like a flower grown in a greenhouse and was definitely not from the northwest.
"Aunt Yuan, this is my good sister, Su Cheng. After hearing me talk about the first encounter between Abu and Dr. Sui, she became very interested in the poisonous insects given by Dr. Sui and wanted to learn something about it." Yun Ya spoke with a smile, her body unconsciously leaning towards Su Cheng, her tone more intimate than she had expected.
"I see." Aunt Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, but the inquiry in her eyes remained. "It's a pity that my husband no longer wants to take in a disciple. The Gu worm was originally a little gadget he invented to entertain himself when he was bored. After so many years, I'm afraid he has forgotten everything. If Miss Su is interested, she might as well ask Yun Ya's father."
[Host, confirmed, this is Xie Jinyu's biological mother, Yuan Shaoqing.]
[Trigger a limited-time mission to help Xie Jinyu find her relatives. The mission lasts three days. Reward: Draw a system blind box once.]
After receiving the system's confirmed answer, Su Cheng pursed his lips slightly and spoke slowly, "You two have been living in seclusion in Shanmiao Village for many years. You suddenly rushed to the capital. What difficult situation did you encounter?"
Yuan Shaoqing's expression changed instantly, and a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes as he looked at her, "How did you know we came from Shanmiao Village?"
"Not only do I know where you've come from, I also know what you're looking for." Su Cheng raised his lips and met her bright gaze without any fear. "You've come a thousand miles to find your child, right?"
Yuan Shaoqing stood up suddenly, knocking over the teacup beside her. The chrysanthemum tea soaked the hem of her skirt, but she was completely unaware. "Who the hell are you?"
Su Cheng smiled and took a sip of the scented tea. "I'll tell you my identity when Dr. Sui comes back."
The moment their eyes met, Yuan Shaoqing's face became extremely ugly, but he had to hold back the anger in his chest.
Yun Ya was completely dumbfounded. She carefully tugged at Su Cheng's sleeve and whispered, "How on earth do you know all this?"
Su Cheng just glanced at her and said lazily, "Don't worry about it, just drink your tea quietly."
About half an hour later, a slight sound was heard outside the courtyard gate. A moment later, the man slowly stepped into the courtyard.
Just as he raised his eyes, he saw two unfamiliar faces in the yard. The man couldn't help but frown and whispered, "Madam, who are these two..."
Yun Ya hurriedly stood up, smiling sweetly, "Divine Doctor Sui, I am Kubu's daughter, Yun Ya."
Yuan Shaoqing fixed his gaze on Su Cheng, his eyes full of vigilance, "Yunchuan, this girl is coming for you."
Sui Yunchuan paused, his eyes full of surprise.
Su Cheng slowly drank the last sip of tea in the cup, slowly stood up, and smiled at the man who had rushed back. "Dr. Sui, I have long heard of your great name. I came here to disturb you today because I know exactly why you two came to the capital. No one knows the whereabouts of your son better than me."
Sui Yunchuan's face changed drastically. He subconsciously looked at his wife, only to see that she was also shocked. She immediately asked, "Why are you..."
"Not only do I know the whereabouts of the eldest son of the Sui family..." Su Cheng interrupted him, raising an eyebrow leisurely, "I also know the location of the youngest son."
At this point, even Yuan Shaoqing couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and asked, "Are you... serious?"
Sui Yunchuan was suspicious and frowned as he asked, "Why do you know everything about my family?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Su Cheng naturally missed the suspicion in his eyes. She shrugged lightly and smiled innocently, "The eldest son of the Sui family is now twenty years old. It's normal that you can't remember his appearance. But the youngest son was lost in Panshui Town this year. You should remember his appearance, right?"
"Panshui Town... we've met..." Yuan Shaoqing muttered, a trace of cold sweat seeping out of his forehead, "Lian'er did disappear in Panshui Town..."
"Girl! I beg you..." Yuan Shaoqing tugged at the edge of her sleeve, her eyes filled with anxiety, "Can you take me to see them?"
Sui Yunchuan took a deep breath, calmed himself, and looked at her without a trace of emotion in his eyes. "As long as I can see the child, you can set any conditions."

"Yan Sheng has returned to the capital with great force. We must be on guard against him." Wang Lin stroked his beard and said in a low voice, "Suzhou, has there been any unusual activity in the court recently?"
Xie Suzhou stroked the side of the cup and shook his head slowly. "Everything is peaceful in the court, there are no unusual movements. The turmoil in Huo Beiting has only been over for two months, and it is still at the forefront. The eldest prince's followers are hiding underground, and no one dares to show their faces."
"Keep investigating, don't let any of them go." Yan Ci finished his drink, his eyes darkening. "If you find out who is Yan Sheng's accomplice, you can execute them first and report to him later."
Xie Suzhou nodded, his cold and distant face without a trace of unnecessary expression, "I will definitely give the order."
On the corner stairs, Lu Qingqing looked around with a frown on her face, as if she was looking for someone.
The next moment, the door of the private room slowly opened, revealing the handsome face behind the door.
It’s Xie Suzhou!
