Chapter 211: Two Children in Three Years
When Su Shengsheng put down the cakes, she unexpectedly saw two pieces of cloth tails on the soft couch and table.
That look...
Su Shengsheng walked over and took a look. Sure enough, under the book was her suicide note, and the other was the cloth she used to bandage Xie Xuan.
This person not only read it, but also kept it.
Su Shengsheng was about to confiscate it, but found bloodstains and a mess on it.
Could it be...
She quickly spread out the strips of cloth.
I'm not...human?
A few large characters catch the eye.
Just as she was confused, the military tent was suddenly opened.
Su Shengsheng was caught off guard, with the evidence in her hand.
Xie Xuan looked over, his expression slightly startled. "Awake?"
Su Shengsheng's hand trembled slightly.
She thought that if he didn't ask, it was possible that the suicide note was lost...
But he collected it solemnly.
This made Su Shengsheng unsure of what he was planning.
Now that things have come to this, she desperately held up the suicide note and asked, "Have you read this?"
Xie Xuan was approaching her. Seeing that she seemed to be questioning him, he paused slightly and said, "I've seen it."
He has seen it!
Su Shengsheng immediately felt a little dry in the mouth.
The secret she had been hiding was now openly seen by him.
Was she overthinking it or underthinking it?
"It was just wet, so a section of the words is blurred." Xie Xuan stopped when he saw her face turn pale.
Su Shengsheng's wildly beating heart suddenly slowed down.
"Haven't you seen these two words?" She pointed to the empty space above.
Xie Xuan shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion. "Isn't this something you wrote for your family? Why do you care if I've read it?"
So, Su Shengsheng looked at Xie Xuan in amazement, who didn't seem to be faking it, and then looked back at the messy suicide note in his hand.
She had been worrying about this for so long, but no one knew about it?
No wonder he acted like nothing happened.
It turns out he didn't know at all.
Su Shengsheng really didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.
If she hadn't come here unexpectedly today, she would have always felt that this time bomb might be detonated by Mr. Rabbit one day...
"Is this important?" Xie Xuan walked to her side and looked at the cloth strip. "After we escape, I thought it wouldn't be needed anymore."
Su Shengsheng glanced at the confused Xie Xuan, and then looked at the few words that seemed quite funny at the moment.
As soon as she finally let go of the tension in her heart, she couldn't help but want to tell him the joke back.
"Aren't you scared after seeing this?" Su Shengsheng folded the strip of cloth, leaving only the words "I am not a human being".
Sometimes she feels apprehensive about her own existence.
Xie Xuan only needed to glance at her before he knew what she was referring to: "After spending enough time in this world, you'll realize that ghosts aren't scary, but the human heart is the scariest thing."
Instead of being scared back, the word he mentioned made her feel a chill down her spine.
Su Shengsheng couldn't help rubbing her arms.
Xie Xuan took off his cloak and put it on her, "What do you want to eat? I'll order it for you."
His strength...
Su Shengsheng was urged to take a step forward, then moved to the side, and finally took two more steps to destroy the suicide note.
Only when the thing completely turned into ashes in front of her eyes did Su Shengsheng breathe a sigh of relief.
But why does he keep these things?
Su Shengsheng frowned and looked at Xie Xuan who was approaching.
But for a moment she thought of keeping the bandages she used to bandage him, and she couldn't bring herself to ask.
"The wives of the generals have roasted some venison and would like to invite you to try it."
Although Su Shengsheng had no interest in venison, it was not the same thing for her to start a trap and leave everyone hanging.
I could only nod.
Xie Xuan's eyes lit up. "I sent someone back to the mansion to get this box of clothes. I'll go get someone to get you some hot water."
As soon as she nodded, Xie Xuan went out and ordered people to prepare.
After a while, bath water, bathing supplies, and some snacks were brought in.
The girls who came in all looked unfamiliar, not the same ones from last time.
But they didn't even look at her, and served her very politely.
Later, when she was helping her comb her hair into a lotus bun, she found out that these people were the personal maids of the wives of several military generals.
However, when Su Shengsheng thought about having to be Xie Xuan's wife in the future, she felt a little melancholy.
It's really a mess and I can't sort it out.
…
When Su Shengsheng went out, the banquet had not yet begun.
Some were roasting venison, others were grilling pheasant pieces.
There are several large pots lined up in a row, and the aroma is fragrant.
Su Shengsheng had just filled her stomach with some snacks, but when she smelled the tempting aroma, she actually felt an appetite.
It’s all Xie Xuan’s fault. He was only concerned with getting on with his journey.
It made her feel like her internal organs were out of place.
When she came out, several generals' wives immediately came forward to greet her warmly, "She is truly a person made of water jade."
"Madam, please don't look down on us for being rude and ignorant of etiquette."
An elderly lady noticed Su Shengsheng's restraint and quickly invited her to take a seat.
Here, men and women do not sit at different tables; they all sit together.
In terms of age, Su Shengsheng is the youngest.
It's just that this is an era where people are ranked according to men, so it's reasonable for her to sit in the middle.
Seeing Su Shengsheng sitting down, he looked for General Xie in the crowd. A lady chuckled, "General Xie is over there."
Su Shengsheng looked in the direction his wife pointed, and saw Xie Xuan on horseback shooting arrows with several generals in the distance.
"This is an unwritten custom in our camp. When a distinguished guest visits, we have to place a prize. The one who hits the target will have two children within three years."
At first, Su Shengsheng was looking over there.
I thought that with Xie Xuan's archery skills of shooting three birds with one arrow, it should not be difficult.
But when I heard this, I wished that person had not appeared here.
After seeing the lady finish her words and look at her with a smile on her face, Su Shengsheng could only drink her tea awkwardly.
Two babies in three years?
Let him hug whoever he wants.
Anyway, don't even think about following her...
However, she always felt that these ladies were deceiving her.
How could there be visitors to the military camp playing the doll-holding game?
Just as the chaos was going on, there was a loud noise from the other side.
Several generals' wives looked over for a moment.
"You said it, I said it, even if there is one more target, it won't be difficult for General Xie."
Su Shengsheng didn't want to watch, but the ladies didn't miss the opportunity to tease her and pulled her to watch.
Behind the three targets, a golden cat fell to the ground after being shot through the throat by an arrow.
Animals like these were rare in the previous life.
However, animal husbandry is not well developed here, and hunting is still the main livelihood.
Su Shengsheng naturally couldn't use the rules of the previous life to demand the people of this dynasty.
For Xie Xuan, who holds the power of life and death, these are nothing more than trophies of the competition.
There were many figures around, and when he looked over there at Su Shengsheng, Xie Xuan was looking back at him from afar.
Their eyes met from a distance, but Su Shengsheng looked away immediately.
"If you can really have two children in three years, the princess and her husband will have something to comfort them."
Su Shengsheng's body stiffened.
Three generations of a family, five generations of a wealthy family, and twelve generations of an aristocratic family.
Most of the Xie family members were military generals, and their population has been declining since the founding of the country.
By Xie Xuan's generation, only his branch was left...
She occupied his position as legitimate wife, but was unwilling to bear children for him...
