Chapter 73 Yu Shi has a headache and begins to suspect Xu Jingyang's death
Everything in the yard was burned to ashes.
Maosong wanted to die. After knowing that Miss Zhao had been sent to the clinic and confirmed to be fine, Maosong crawled back to Xu's house.
Xu Suyuan was working in his study. Looking at the dirty and pale Maosong, Xu Suyuan frowned and asked, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Maosong knelt straight down and said, "Sir, it's bad, there's a fire over there!"
Xu Suyuan stood up suddenly, and the large movement pulled at the sword wound on his chest. His face turned pale, and he said, "Explain clearly."
Maosong told Xu Suyuan everything that happened today, including the news that Miss Zhao was pregnant.
"Uncle, everything in the yard is gone. When I went over, the neighbor who rescued Miss Zhao said she was lying unconscious across from the gate. My humble guess is that someone deliberately set the fire."
Mao Song glanced at Xu Suyuan, whose face was growing increasingly dark, and gritted his teeth as he said, "Could it be that the Xixia assassins failed in their assassination attempt that day, and they set fire to him this time to show their power?"
Xu Suyuan shouted: "Idiot!"
Xu Suyuan's chest was heaving. There was a window in the study, and Rong Yue was doing needlework in the room. He took a step to close the window and happened to meet Rong Yue's surprised expression.
Xu Suyuan's face was filled with anger. He pursed his lips and closed the window directly.
Rong Yue's hand was pricked by a needle, and her brows slightly frowned.
Xu Suyuan was a refined and elegant man who rarely lost his temper. Even when faced with difficult official duties, he never lost his temper. As far as she could remember, the last time Xu Suyuan got furious was when she learned of the death of her aunt Xu Jingyang.
In the following time, Rong Yue was absent-minded.
She had to guess in one direction, that was the woman outside Xu Suyuan.
At this point, Rong Yue could no longer pretend not to see it.
She whispered to Qingzhou, "Have you found any information about the matter I asked you to find someone to investigate last time?"
Qing Zhou shook his head. "Before, I had someone follow your carriage, but it didn't last long before Mao Song left us behind. The farthest we followed was to Anrenfang."
Anrenfang is the largest district in the capital, with all kinds of people living there, so it is not easy to track them down.
Rong Yue slowly sighed.
It’s not over in the study yet.
Mao Song asked, "Master, I'll find another house for Miss Zhao to live in, and then ask about it after she wakes up."
Xu Suyuan hummed.
"That Miss Zhao's child..."
Xu Suyuan twitched his lips and said, "If he did, the Xu family's first grandson would have to come out of Rongyue's belly."
Maosong felt a sweat on his back: "Yes."
After Maosong left, Xu Suyuan soon left the yard.
Xu Suyuan did not leave the house, but went to Xu Yinlin's place.
After Jiang Yunzheng left, Xu Yinlin took medicine and fell asleep.
The maid in the yard saluted towards Xu Suyuan. Xu Suyuan raised his hand slightly and said with a faint smile: "I came to see Yinlin."
He walked into the room and the maids inside retreated.
On the couch, Xu Yinlin still looked uneasy after falling asleep. Xu Suyuan faced that disgusting face and slowly stroked Xu Yinlin's neck.
The cold and stiff touch woke Xu Yinlin up quickly.
Xu Yinlin is now half awake. Not only does she recognize the person, but she also remembers the four years of inhumane treatment she suffered.
Fear flashed in Xu Yinlin's eyes as she called out unpleasantly, "Brother."
Xu Suyuan smiled lightly, "You're really lucky. You're not dead even after all this? Jiang Yunzheng must be bored, so she has to come and treat you."
Xu Yinlin's teeth were shaking, and the teeth inside were broken.
She remembered that day in the alley, Xu Suyuan really recognized her, but was unwilling to take her home.
Xu Suyuan felt sick after seeing this. He slowly tightened his grip and asked, "Why did Qi Yunshen send you back?"
The day Xu Yinlin was rescued by Jiang Yunzheng, she was in a coma from beginning to end and never saw Jiang Yunzheng's face.
When she was taken to the poetry reading, the person had his face covered and she didn't know who he was.
Xu Yinlin kept shaking her head, "I don't know."
Xu Suyuan threw Xu Yinlin aside and said condescendingly, "It's already like this, and you still can't contribute anything of value. What's the point of keeping you around?"
Xu Yinlin didn't dare to speak.
Xu Suyuan suddenly smiled, "Compared to killing you with a knife, it is indeed more interesting to torture you like Qi Yunshen."
There was a pleading look in Xu Yinlin's eyes.
"My sister, now that you are back, enjoy the rest of your time."
After saying that, Xu Yinlin was slapped by Xu Suyuan.
Just then, there was a noise at the door. It was the voices of Xiao Yu and Chen Yingyu.
Chen Yingyu said in a low voice, somewhat dissatisfied: "Mom, you come here more often than my aunt."
Xiao Yu glared at her little daughter and said, "If you can't speak, don't speak!"
Chen Yingyu bit her lip as the footsteps of the two people got closer.
Xiao Yu muttered, "You said the eldest master is in there?"
The maid replied, "Yes."
Xiao Yu pushed open the door and saw Xu Suyuan coming out.
Xu Suyuan smiled faintly: "Aunt."
Mrs. Yu also smiled: "Su Yuan came to see Yin Lin. Although Doctor Jiang can't speak, his medical skills are really good."
Chen Yingyu quietly rolled her eyes.
Xu Suyuan: "I went to the front yard to discuss something with my father, and happened to pass by here, so I came to see her."
Xiao Yu took it seriously and said, "You are in a special situation now, so your priority is to recover from your injuries."
Xu Suyuan nodded, walked past Xiao Yu's mother and daughter, and left.
-
On the other side, Xu Shibing and Yu returned to Rong'en Hall together.
Xu Shibing was handling official business in the study, while Yu was absent-mindedly drinking tea in the yard.
She was still thinking about what Xu Yinlin said. How could the well-behaved and lovely daughter in her memory curse Jing Yang?
Although Jing Yang had deliberately seduced King Yu to get close to him, which almost led to the break-off of his engagement with Xu Yinlin, and Jing Yang had foolishly planned the Bamboo Forest Massacre, Jing Yang had already paid the price she deserved.
Xu Jingyang is her biological daughter, born after ten months of pregnancy. Even if there is anything wrong, only she, as her mother, can speak up.
Xu Yinlin's words made Yu feel a little bothered.
Once the seeds of resentment are planted, they are difficult to eliminate.
Yu began to doubt whether Jingyang's death was really as the master said, and had nothing to do with Yinlin?
Yu started to have a headache again.
The maid beside her asked, "Madam, do you want to go in and rest? The maid just replaced the pillow with the medicine bag made by Madam Chen yesterday."
This medicine-wrapped pillow was made for Yu Xiao when she first came to Xu's house. After Yu slept on it for a few nights, her headache was relieved a lot.
Xiao Yu said that she had specially asked for the prescription from an old Chinese doctor in Xiazhou.
Yu frowned and said, "Go call Nanny Qin."
This was the first time in recent years that Yu took the initiative to meet Nanny Qin.
The old woman was stunned. "Madam, Nanny Qin has been taken away by Doctor Jiang."
Only then did Yu nod and was helped into the house by the maid to rest.
Yu lay on the bed, and her headache was indeed relieved a little. This time she had a dream.
This is the first time I’ve dreamed of Xu Jingyang in four years.
The first scene is at the Lantern Festival. Little Xu Jingyang is holding a lantern. The maid who takes care of her says that her purse has fallen and she wants to go back to look for it.
Xu Jingyang waited obediently by the river, waiting for her maid to come back and pick her up.
The lively lights of the lantern festival are reflected in her bright and clear eyes.
The scene changed, and the flames instantly turned into a raging fire in the palace.
Xu Jingyang lay on the ground in despair, covered in blood, and the fire quickly spread all over her body.
Yu suddenly opened her eyes, and her violent heartbeat made her face pale.
Yu called the maid over and asked in a trembling voice, "Is today Jingyang's death anniversary?"
In the past few years, Yu would get a headache every time she thought of Xu Jingyang, and the servants never dared to mention the deceased Fourth Young Lady.
The old woman gritted her teeth and said, "It's the anniversary of the Fourth Young Lady's death."
Yu's tensed body suddenly relaxed.
Until night, Yu remained motionless in the house.
When Xu Shibing returned at night, Yu asked, "Master, was Jingyang's death really caused by the Xixia people?"
Xu Shibin's eyes flashed: "Of course."
"But why did the Xixia people kill her for no reason? She had just given birth, why?"
Xu Shibing turned over and said, "Perhaps it was to provoke the people in the Zhenguo Mansion. Xixia hates the Qi family very much."
Xu Shibing paused and asked, "Why did you mention her tonight?"
Yu sighed: "Today is Jingyang's death anniversary."
This time, Xu Shibing stopped talking.
The couple remained silent all night until dawn.
