Chapter 30: Substitute
"Madam." Nanny Zhang helped Madam Su sit down on a chair and comforted her, "There's no news from the palace yet, which is good."
Old Madam Su sat on the chair, her eyes fixed on the door, unwilling to leave for a long time.
The hand holding the cane trembled slightly, and then she said viciously: "We shouldn't have let Liu Jinshu come to Yanjing. She is the scourge of our Su family."
"What sin has our Su family committed? God wants to destroy our Su family!"
Su Yuheng sat on the edge of Su Yanqiu's bed, staring at Old Madam Su, feeling a sense of sarcasm in his heart.
This Liu Jinshu is the treasure of your Su family, so you must treat him well.
In his previous life, Liu Jinshu stole his own poems and went to the Spring Banquet to compete.
She won the first place and received many rewards from the current emperor, bringing glory to the Marquis' Mansion. Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion held Liu Jinshu in their hearts.
At that time, Su Yuheng once questioned Liu Jinshu why she stole his poem to participate in the competition, but Liu Jinshu said firmly in front of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion that the poem was hers.
Even Liu, Su Yuhuan, and even her brother helped Liu Jinshu.
At that time, Su Yuheng watched as her family, who once loved her, each of them protected Liu Jinshu and never trusted her. She was secretly sad and unhappy, and couldn't understand what was going on.
She had quarreled with them, but all she got in return was their indifference and isolation.
In this life, she specially changed the poem.
"Grandma." Su Yuheng stood up from the chair and slowly walked to the side of Old Madam Su.
"How could my cousin steal the Emperor's poems?" She frowned deliberately. "I remember my cousin grew up in Yongzhou. Could it be that she has also read the Emperor's poetry collection when he was young?"
Madam Su leaned on her cane and sighed deeply: "How would I know?"
She looked at the courtyard which was gradually getting darker, and her voice sounded a little unnatural.
"This Liu Jinshu wants to kill our Su family. This Liu hasn't returned yet. Now Yanqiu has been shot and injured, and this Liu Jinshu has caused such a big disaster. Could it be..."
Madam Su's words stopped abruptly at her lips.
She thought of the fire in the Su family ancestral hall the day before Liu Jinshu was born.
Thinking of the prophecies that Master Xuanming had said, my heart suddenly felt like it was being stabbed by needles.
She slammed her cane into the ground and said, "I will send this evildoer back to the Liu family in Yongzhou, and stop him from causing trouble for our Su family."
"Grandma, maybe my cousin has something to hide. Why don't you wait for mother and cousin to come back and ask them what's going on?" Su Yuheng deliberately defended Liu Jinshu.
She didn't want Liu Jinshu to go back. If Liu Jinshu went back, how could she use her to destroy the entire Dingbei Marquis Mansion?
Madam Su's face was stern, her deep eyes looked out of the wing room, and her voice was as cold as ice.
"What could she possibly be hiding? If she wasn't so vain, how could she do such a thing?"
"Grandma." Seeing that Madam Su looked unhappy, Nanny Zhang beside her hurriedly comforted her, "Perhaps the situation is not as bad as we imagined. It's getting late now, so I will help you get some rest."
"Grandma, I'll take care of my second brother. You can go and rest." Su Yuheng said
Madam Su sighed deeply and stood up from her chair: "We can only wait for them to come back and ask them what happened."
With the help of Nanny Zhang, Old Lady Su left Su Yanqiu's room and returned to her own courtyard.
At nightfall, Doctor Liu from the Imperial Hospital finally arrived.
After taking Su Yanqiu's pulse, he sighed deeply, prescribed some medicine for Su Yanqiu, and left.
The poison in Su Yanqiu's body is not so easy to cure.
It was already late at night, but Liu and Liu Jinshu had not returned home yet.
In Su Yanqiu's room, only Su Yuheng was guarding him.
She sent the maid Liuli and the guard Mo Yu away, leaving only her two personal maids, Bailu and Baizhi.
After a while, the door of the wing room was carefully pushed open, and in the quiet moonlight, a girl dressed in a maid's clothes came in.
The girl was as delicate as a piece of jade, with fair and rosy cheeks. She lowered her head and looked at Su Yanqiu on the bed with a shy look.
This person was none other than Qinghe, a maid in Su Yanqiu's Qingfeng Courtyard. Qinghe had admired Su Yanqiu for many years and had wanted to serve him closely, but was discovered by Liu.
Liu cut off one of her fingers and drove her out of the house.
This Qinghe was the one that Su Yuheng asked Bai Zhi to find.
Before Qinghe entered the room, her maid Baizhi specifically instructed her to be careful when entering the room and not to make any noise.
Even the jade ointment and hair cream she applied on her body were the same as those on Su Yuheng.
Qinghe walked to the edge of the bed and looked at the handsome man lying on the couch with his eyes closed. The spring heart that had been buried began to surge again.
Su Yuheng gave her a hint, and she tiptoed down to sit down on the edge of the bed.
After Su Yuheng saw someone sitting next to him, his eyes fell on Su Yanqiu's eyebrows and he said in a gentle voice: "Second brother, when can you wake up? Do you know that Heng'er misses you so much?"
Su Yuheng said, reaching out and gently stroking Su Yanqiu's cheek: "In fact, Heng'er has been in love with you for a long time, but at that time Heng'er didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes. I just wanted to see you every day. Heng'er can't live without you."
"I will only be your woman in this life."
After she finished speaking, she began to sob softly.
Su Yanqiu lay on the couch, listening to Su Yuheng's crying, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free, couldn't move, and couldn't open his eyes.
The sobbing sound beside his ear gradually subsided, and the hand touching his cheek also moved away. The faint fragrance of peach blossoms came to him, and his heart moved, and he felt someone gently prying open his lips and teeth, and gently taking something from his lips.
He couldn't move, couldn't see the person on him, and could only taste the tenderness she gave him.
The faint scent of peach blossoms is the scent of Su Yuheng.
He was suspicious, could it be Heng'er kissing him?
This was the first time she kissed him, so gentle and intoxicating.
A faint sense of joy rose in her heart, and her love for Su Yuheng grew like a vine.
As he was thinking, a jade-white hand reached into his clothes, stroked it gently, and then untied the jade belt on his body.
The woman's soft lips moved all the way down from his Adam's apple, and Su Yanqiu felt numb all over while lying on the bed.
The trousers were gently pulled open, and the girl's hot body pressed against him.
He never thought of taking her body at this time.
That mysterious pure land made him ecstatic and he loved her so much.
When Su Yuheng saw Qinghe taking off her clothes, he kissed Su Yanqiu in a flattering manner and then got up from the couch.
After a cold glance, she carefully went behind the screen of the wing room.
Inside, the man let out a muffled groan due to his passion, which was heard throughout the house.
Su Yuheng just curled his lips slightly.
She knew that Su Yanqiu was a very dangerous person, and that he could easily see through her words of love.
By then, she won't even know how she died at Su Yanqiu's hands.
The noise in the inner room died down, Qinghe put on her clothes and got off Su Yanqiu.
She looked at the man lying on the bed in the breeze and bright moon, and a touch of joy rose in her heart.
She walked timidly in front of Su Yuheng. After Su Yuheng gave her a look, she left the room.
When Bai Zhi sent Qing He to the carriage, she said, "Take good care of yourself at the farm outside the city. If you get pregnant in the future, your child will be the eldest son of the Marquis' Mansion. I will arrange for someone to pick you up at the Marquis' Mansion in the next few days."
Qing He gathered her clothes, glanced at her severed fingers, and her eyes rolled slightly.
"Sister Baizhi, could you please not let Madam know? I only want a child with the prince."
Bai Zhi said, "I won't let Madam know, but you are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. Otherwise, if Liu is held responsible, you will be dead."
How could Qinghe not understand this truth? She was walking on thin ice now, but she could not forget Su Yanqiu. However, she had known that the person in Su Yanqiu's heart was Su Yuheng.
Now, Su Yuheng helped her, which was something she wanted more than anything else, so how could she tell others about what happened today?
After Baizhi sent Qinghe away, she hurried back to Qingfengyuan.
