Chapter 2 Could he be inside?
I wonder if he has left?
Through the original storyline, Su Meng learns that Huo Zhenhua's true identity is not that of a lowly soldier.
If the effects of the drug had worn off, he would never have been caught in a trap.
With that thought in mind, Su Meng was no longer in a hurry and casually emptied Zhong Wanrou's room.
From large items like wardrobes and carved wooden beds to small items like combs and hair clips.
They didn't even spare her underwear, socks, or anything else; they left nothing behind.
These were all bought with her family's money, and she has the right to decide what to do with them.
However, she wouldn't accept the clothes of a lowly person; giving them to someone in need would be a good idea.
When Su Meng saw the cash that Zhong Wanrou had hidden, she felt a pang of envy and jealousy that made her heart ache.
Eight thousand six hundred!
As a proper young lady of the Su family, she had never possessed so much cash before.
hehe!
How ironic!
Zhong Cuilin was still knocking on the door, and the people in the corridor were still gossiping and speculating.
Under Zhong Wanrou's deliberate guidance, the discussions gradually turned into malicious speculation.
Zhong Cuilin: "Why is there no sound inside? Could something have happened to Su Meng?"
"My sister will definitely be alright."
She...maybe there's something else going on, making it inconvenient for her to open the door.
As she spoke, Zhong Wanrou seemed to suddenly remember something, covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes darted around, and quietly retreated.
Everyone was even more puzzled.
"What about that soldier?" The old lady from the second wife suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if she had grasped the truth and was excited.
The Su family has guests today.
The person who came was sent by Nie Ronghua, Su Meng's childhood betrothed, to bring Su Meng a gift for her eighteenth birthday.
He is Huo Zhenhua.
Zhong Cuilin and others believe that this is a sign that Nie Ronghua is looking down on the Su family.
However, due to Nie Ronghua's status as the head of the regiment, the Su family forced a smile.
He also invited Huo Zhenhua to dine with him.
The second branch of the Su family also accompanied them.
At this time, we had just finished dinner.
Seeing that Su Meng had been away from her seat for a long time, everyone followed her upstairs to the second floor under Zhong Cuilin's guidance.
In front of the tightly closed door, everyone was talking animatedly, with the second wife's old lady being the loudest.
"Could he be inside?"
Second Grandma speaks without any politeness, as if she wants to stir up trouble.
Zhong Cuilin quickly stopped them, saying, "They are soldiers. We can't slander them; that would be punished."
Second Madam was not afraid at all, "Tch! Just a lowly soldier."
Moreover, even a prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner.
Does this mean soldiers are above the law?
"Then let's break down the door! Hopefully, we haven't made a big mistake." Zhong Cuilin's tone was helpless, but the little voice inside her was screaming and spinning with excitement.
She had already subtly inquired about it before, and Huo Zhenhua was just a peasant who ran errands for Commander Nie.
She's a good match for Su Meng, haha!
Zhong Cuilin brushed a stray hair behind her ear and lowered her head to hide her smug expression.
Su Meng, who was separated from them by a wall, naturally knew what they were doing.
He gave a dismissive laugh.
He entered the dark room of Zhong Wanrou's room with ease.
The dust in the dark room was choking.
A finger pressed on the wooden box can leave a clear fingerprint.
There are four wooden crates here, arranged just as they were ten years ago.
Inside were a box of small yellow croakers, a box of jewelry and calligraphy, and two boxes of antique porcelain.
Every room on the second floor has one of these dark rooms.
Adhering to the principle of diversifying risks, the Su family kept several boxes of treasures in each of their hidden rooms.
However, only the eldest branch of the Su family, that is, Su Mianzhi's lineage, knew about this.
After emptying Zhong Wanrou's room, Su Meng felt a little less annoyed.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from next door.
The walls shook, and fine dust fell from the roof.
They must have violently broken down the door.
Zhong Cuilin is truly admirable!
They spare no effort in catching their partner in adultery!
I just don't know if Huo Zhenhua has actually left or not.
Just as she was about to open the door and rush out, she vaguely heard Zhong Wanrou's puzzled voice.
Where is everyone? Why is no one here?
After waiting for a long time, Zhong Cuilin's voice finally came, "Perhaps Miss fainted in the bathroom? Go and check on her quickly!"
Hearing this, Su Meng felt relieved.
Huo Zhenhua must have left long ago.
She slipped down the drainpipe and swaggered into the living room.
Her fake father, Shen Wuyang, looked at her with concern: "Xiaomeng, what are you doing here? Didn't you go back to your room because you weren't feeling well?"
Su Meng naturally didn't miss the fleeting surprise in his eyes.
It turns out everything was traceable, but the counterfeiters' acting was just too convincing.
"I just went to the garden to digest my food. Who said I wasn't feeling well?"
Her tone was cold and distant, her eyes scrutinizing, and she seemed a little annoyed.
Shen Wuyang was filled with suspicion.
Su Meng has always been gentle and obedient, full of admiration and dependence on him, and would never be so cold to him in front of others.
"What's wrong with you, child?"
There's a reason why Nie Ronghua couldn't attend your 18th birthday.
But he still managed to send you a gift despite his busy schedule; he's a good kid.
Don't be willful!
Su Meng raised an eyebrow and tilted her head to look at Shen Wuyang, "What does this have to do with him?"
I'd like to ask, how could your dear wife bring people into my room without my permission?
Shen Wuyang patiently explained, "She heard that you weren't feeling well, so she brought a doctor with her."
Su Meng chuckled, "Really?"
After saying that, she looked at her second grandfather, who was watching from the other side of the river: "Second grandfather, you are the elder, can you tell me what's going on?"
This second grandfather was my grandfather's half-brother, and he had long coveted the Su family's property.
However, he was a spoiled brat in his youth and did not meet his father's approval, and his descendants had few capable individuals.
Therefore, the Su family line was passed down to the eldest branch of the Su family.
He was ordered to move out of the Su Mansion and struggle to survive with his family outside.
Therefore, he always harbored resentment towards the first wife.
Hearing the witty banter between Su Meng and "Su Mianzhi," his cloudy eyes brightened slightly.
He slammed his pipe on the coffee table and looked at Su Mianzhi with displeasure. "You're really blinded by greed. How could you marry such a lowly nanny?"
Look at that, he has absolutely no manners.
Xiaomeng, Grandpa will stand up for you.
Since she, a mere nanny, doesn't respect you, a proper young lady, then you should give her a good beating!
It must be said that this statement resonates deeply with people.
Su Meng glanced at Shen Wuyang, whose expression was stiff, and smiled, "Thank you for your support, Second Grandfather."
"Go ahead!" Master Su couldn't wait to see the family fight amongst themselves, and he especially wanted to see Zhong Cuilin get a lesson.
Su Meng suddenly stood up and rushed up to the second floor.
She had long wanted to deal with the nanny who killed without shedding blood.
Now, the timing, location, and people are all in perfect harmony.
"What are you doing in my room? Get out!"
Su Meng pounded on the door, her pretty face flushed with anger.
The sudden sound was like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
The second grandmother, who was about to steal something, was so frightened that she trembled and dropped what she had just grabbed to the ground.
Upon seeing that it was Su Meng, a hint of annoyance and jealousy flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand to cover her chest and groaned, "Ouch! You scared this old woman to death!"
I'm going to faint, I need to lie down.
Ignoring Su Meng's cold gaze, she moved step by step toward the large bed.
Zhong Wanrou quickly put away a velvet box and looked at Su Meng with dissatisfaction, "Sister, how can you be so rude? Don't you know that scaring someone can kill them?"
Zhong Cuilin was with a man who looked like a doctor.
Seeing Su Meng appear unharmed, she was surprised and astonished, but quickly calmed down.
Then she stepped forward and said with concern, "Didn't you say you weren't feeling well? Why are you wandering around like this? Come here and let the doctor take a look."
Whether in her expression or her words and actions, Zhong Cuilin was a perfect loving mother at that moment.
If Su Meng didn't know the plot, she definitely wouldn't believe that Zhong Cuilin was a hypocrite.
She stared at the person walking towards her and asked, word by word, "I heard I have a heart condition?"
Did you infect me, or did you cause this?"
Zhong Cuilin truly lives up to his reputation as a seasoned and cunning old fox.
She completely ignored the question, instead smiling gently and harmlessly, "Where is Comrade Huo?"
"He disappeared with you for so long, we thought he had come to see you?"
