She had no intention of making things difficult for Chongyang. Aside from the fact that he was from Yushuo, Chongyang had helped her a lot.
Chongyang recalled carefully, "It happened a few months ago, before I married my wife."
Qin Su turned her head and glared at Yu Shuo. He took other women's purses before the wedding? How could he do this to her?
Qin Su began to plot.
Could it be that he married her to protect that woman? To keep her from standing on the edge of a knife, and from being envied by other noble ladies?
That's how it's written in storybooks.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Chongyang immediately explained, "Doesn't Madam find this purse look familiar?"
"Actually, this purse was taken from Wu Wei."
Yu Shuo also looked at Chongyang with curiosity.
He doesn't remember it.
As Qin Su walked out, she said, "The patterns on those purses are especially common in Kyoto; almost every noblewoman has one."
It's really nothing special.
Chongyang: ? ? Is that so? Madam really has no taste.
"That purse... to be precise, there are two purses, both belonging to the madam."
Qin Su: ? ?
She froze on the spot, and stopped in her tracks.
"mine?"
Chongyang nodded, a smile appearing on his face. "Yes. Master gave the silver to Wu Wei, but kept the purse."
Qin Su felt embarrassed. What had she just done?
She lowered her head, grasped Yu Shuo's hand, and pulled him back into the room.
Chongyang genuinely found it somewhat amusing, but he absolutely could not laugh in front of his wife.
The two sat on the bed. Facing Yu Shuo's innocent eyes, Qin Su coughed uncomfortably, "Um, I misunderstood Ziyu just now, I'm sorry."
Her apology was very sincere.
Yu Shuo didn't understand the intricacies of the situation. He shook Qin Su's hand, "Su Su, you're not angry anymore?"
How could Qin Su still have the nerve to be angry? He threw a tantrum without even asking what happened. If Yu Shuo were sober right now, she would really want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"I'm not angry anymore," she said awkwardly.
Yu Shuo leaned over and kissed Qin Su on the cheek, even getting some saliva on it.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Susu, don't be angry."
"Um."
Her gaze fell on Yu Shuo's chest, where the edges of the two purses were peeking out.
He actually took the purse from the people at the Moon Tower. It wasn't anything valuable.
Qin Su couldn't describe how she felt.
She was looking for Dengyue Tower when she had just been reborn. She thought that Yu Shuo didn't like her at that time and was only helping her out of respect for the Marquis of Zhongyi's family.
"I'm sleepy." Yu Shuo yawned, successfully making Qin Su not feel embarrassed.
"Take a rest."
Qin Su propped her chin up and casually patted Yu Shuo's blanket. Yu Shuo leaned over and hugged Qin Su's waist, gently coaxing, "Su Su, sleep too."
...
The next day, a commotion came from outside the door. Qin Su woke up, while Yu Shuo slept soundly.
Qin Su got out of bed, grabbed the outer garment next to her, put it on, and then went to open the door.
Why is it so noisy so early in the morning?
"elder sister!"
Luo Zhi's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Su, and he immediately rushed towards her and hugged her tightly.
Qin Su instinctively supported her, frowning as she said, "Keep your voice down, the people inside are still resting."
Luo Zhi pouted in dissatisfaction, "Is it that idiot...that person from yesterday?"
"Um."
Fortunately, Luo Zhi didn't call him an idiot, otherwise Qin Su would have really wanted to throw him out.
"Lian Tao, take Miss Luo to the patient's side. I'm going to wash up." She gently pushed Luo Zhi away, and then said this to her.
Luo Zhi obediently followed Lian Tao, observing her and noticing that she was taller than the average woman, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Women rarely have such bone structure; she is an exception.
"You must be quite skilled, right?" Luo Zhi said to Lian Tao.
Lian Tao said, "It's just average."
After Qin Su finished washing up, Yu Shuo had already woken up, so she had no choice but to take the people to Tuoba's side.
"How is it? Can you solve it?"
Luo Zhi frowned and said, "Do we really have to save this person?"
"What's wrong?"
Hearing her say that, I knew the person could be saved, but she didn't seem to want to.
"This poison comes from the Yuehai Kingdom, and only a very small number of people can refine it. Going against the people there is really... troublesome."
"And the antidote pills are also very expensive."
She was a little reluctant to part with those medicinal herbs.
Qin Su: "..."
After a moment's thought, she reasoned with Luo Zhi, appealing to his emotions and logic, "His identity is special; he cannot die in Da'an."
"Then why not just dump him in Yuehai Kingdom?" She didn't understand Qin Su's considerations, only feeling that this simple and crude approach was the best way to solve the problem.
Qin Su shook his head, "The Yuehai Kingdom has a bad relationship with our country, how can we let them bully us?"
"These are the other two reasons. Another reason they dared to poison him is perhaps because they were certain that Da'an had no skilled doctors."
This was clearly a provocation. The girl immediately widened her almond-shaped eyes and said, "Nonsense! What are they talking about? My reputation as the master of deception isn't just for show. I can produce the antidote within two days!"
Luo Zhi may not have much of a sense of national pride, but she doesn't acknowledge that anyone is more capable than her.
"Have you been staying at an inn these past few days, or are you planning to go back?"
Luo Zhi thought for a moment and said, "I'd better go back. I'll come back in two days."
Qin Su didn't stop him, saying, "The city lord of Shacheng might secretly investigate your whereabouts, so you should be careful."
Even if Luo Zhi provides the antidote, her attack on the city lord's people is undoubtedly disrespectful to the city lord. It's hard to guarantee that the other party is a narrow-minded person, so it's always good to be cautious.
"good!"
"I'll come to see my sister in two days!"
She skipped and hopped away from the inn.
No sooner had Luo Zhi left than another uninvited guest arrived.
Fortunately, Qin Su had Chongyang take Yu Shuo to wash up, thus avoiding being discovered.
"What's up?" Qin Su sat down in the lobby on the second floor. It was still early and there weren't many people in the inn.
Behind Xue Huai'an, dressed in white, were two people: one was the familiar Xue Qi, and the other looked familiar to Qin Su as well.
"Are you sure you want to say this here?" Xue Huai'an's eyes were cold; he had long lost his gentle demeanor in front of Qin Su.
"Otherwise what? Does Prince Xue have some secret to tell me? Or are you trying to create an opportunity for me to kill you?"
Xue Huai'an looked displeased, but still sat down.
"What exactly is your purpose in coming to Shacheng?"
"This has nothing to do with you."
"What did you want to say when you came to see me last night?"
"Didn't you guess it?"
The two were speaking in cryptic language, and no one else could understand them.
"I'm quite curious. You were told you went to Huaizhou, so why did you suddenly come to Shacheng?"
Xue Huai'an certainly wouldn't tell Qin Su the truth. He made up an excuse, "Of course I'm here to work, how could I possibly go sightseeing?"
Qin Su laughed sarcastically, "Yes, Young Master Xue is so focused on climbing the ranks, how could he possibly bear to travel and enjoy the scenery?"
