Chapter 173 Phoenix Tail Birthmark
Song Yuezhong frowned slightly, looked at the woman solemnly, and said in a serious tone:
"Today, when Gu Yang was wiping my daughter's body, he discovered that a strange birthmark had suddenly grown on her chest. It was shaped like a phoenix tail and was as red as blood. In short, I feel that it should be related to the secrets of the Fengqi royal family."
After that, a rare trace of sadness appeared on his face, and he sighed and told the truth:
"That's why foster father insisted on taking over Xi'er's daily life."
Su Yuan's eyes flashed with a slight surprise, he looked up at the man in front of him, and confirmed in a serious tone:
“It just grew today?”
She had personally confirmed her father, Song Yuezhong, countless times. Apart from some scars, this man had no obvious birthmarks.
But his daughter inexplicably developed a bloody red phoenix tail birthmark half a month later.
If this is true, Song Yue's guess was probably correct. This phenomenon is indeed the secret of the Fengqi royal family, but outsiders like them don't know it.
As for why he didn't have...
Su Yuan boldly guessed that it was probably passed down to females and not males!
Song Yue nodded carefully and replied:
"Yes, it is."
After getting the affirmation, Su Yuan's eyes narrowed, a light "tsk" came out of his mouth, and he pursed his lips and said:
"Fortunately, it just grew out today, and only the four of us know about it. Sigh... You don't have to worry too much. My father-in-law will take care of it on weekdays, so it will be fine."
Song Yue nodded his chin in agreement, then changed the subject to talk about what happened half a month later:
"Of course I feel relieved to have my foster father watching over me. In addition, the person in charge in the capital has already chosen a location. The new headquarters will be located on Yufeng Mountain, 20 miles outside the city."
"When I am out of confinement, I will take over the affairs of the Blood Nether Palace. I will go to the mountains for a few days every month. If you come back and don't see me one day, it must be me who is taking care of the affairs of the palace."
Su Yuan nodded and smiled calmly:
"Okay, I understand."
——At the same time.
Tongcheng, post station.
The largest room in the entire post station is now filled with boxes of gold bricks and silver bars. Except for a small open space in a square, there is no place to stay in the vast land.
Of course, there was only one of them.
I saw a woman who was about thirty years old and dressed in the attire of a second-rank official, standing in the small space.
She picked up a gold nugget from the nearest mahogany box, sniffed it, and sighed with satisfaction:
“Ah, it smells delicious.”
After saying this, the woman spread her arms and turned around, looking at the money in the room, her eyes full of greed:
"Haha, now everything belongs to me, Wu An!"
As soon as Wu An finished speaking, there was a sound of "thump thump thump" of footsteps outside the house, and a woman dressed as a guard arrived at the door.
She looked up at the mahogany boxes in the room, a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face, she bit her lip and decided not to go in, so she stood outside the door, bowed to Wu An, and said respectfully:
"Imperial Commissioner Wu, I have found a female corpse at the foot of Wumei Mountain. The corpse has been eaten by wild beasts and is clearly unrecognizable. It looks like the prisoner Meng who rolled down the mountain half a month ago."
inside the house.
Upon hearing this, Wu An threw the gold bars back into the box with a "bang". When he looked up again, he no longer had the greedy look on his face.
She frowned, and looked at the guards outside the door with a cold look, raising her eyebrows and saying:
"You can confirm it's her even though her face is completely unrecognizable. Haha, you have a good eye. Are you being lazy or are you trying to fool me?"
The guard's breathing stagnated, and his hands, which were placed in front of him to report, trembled like sieves, and he replied in a staccato voice:
"I dare not, but Wumei Mountain and even the Tongzhou area have been turned upside down, and the criminal has not been found. Therefore, I have confirmed that it is that person's body."
Wu An lowered his eyes and looked at the gold and silver around him. He spoke slowly and harshly:
"Oh...really? I heard that old man's daughter-in-law is not only the fiancée of Prince Jingrong, but is also currently taking the imperial examination in the capital."
"Oh, you should immediately send a pigeon to our people and tell them to search the area strictly and execute the person immediately if they see her, so that she won't block my path to wealth."
After she finished speaking, she didn't know what she was thinking about. The smile on her lips slowly froze, and her eyebrows and eyes revealed a bit of dangerous meaning:
"You should pass this news to King Nanyou as it is, saying that the Meng and Qin families, who colluded with the bandits to harm the people, were taken to Jiangzhou, and more than 300 people from the two families were killed by their accomplices."
"As for the head of the Meng family, he fell off a cliff and died. Now none of the prisoners survived. Humph... Didn't she want a retrial? What can she do to me without any evidence?"
The guard replied cautiously, "Yes," then turned around and walked away into the night.
The east was turning white, and the morning light was just breaking.
The mist was diffuse, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and dewdrops rolled between the petals. Occasionally, a breeze blew, and the faint fragrance of orchids lingered in the air.
Between water and clouds, in an elegant room.
The four carved wooden doors were wide open, and the warm sunlight from outside shone in, making the room exceptionally bright and clear.
Su Yuan sniffed the orchid fragrance, slowly raised his hand to pour himself a glass of wine, and smiled faintly:
"This is a great place, elegant and bright yet lively."
Lu Yanxin moved his ears and listened to the faint voices coming from both sides of the room.
She shook her head and smiled, then curved her lips and said:
“It’s okay to understand it this way, and it’s also okay to have movement in stillness.”
After saying that, Lu Yanxin leaned forward closer to Su Yuan, a cunning look flashed across his eyes, and he whispered:
"Maybe we can even hear some gossip to help us two sisters get in the mood for drinking."
Lu Yanxin just said this.
The person next door seemed to sense what she was thinking and indeed raised his voice, which made the two people who could only hear slight noises hear more clearly:
"I heard from my aunt that you want to recruit a son-in-law?"
Just from this first sentence, Su Yuan and Lu Yanxin instantly understood that this was a blind date!
The two people's hearts, which had been numbed by the half-month shift, suddenly boiled over. They looked at each other without feeling embarrassed at all, and then pricked up their four ears to continue listening.
Anyway, they are in their own private room, do you understand what a private room is?
As the name suggests, quiet and elegant.
It's clearly the guests next door who are being unethical and making such loud noises that disturb others, so what's wrong with them listening?
Following the shrill female voice, a low, inaudible male voice responded with a perfunctory and casual answer:
"Um."
Hearing this, Lu Yanxin frowned slightly.
It seems familiar!
But with just one word, it was hard to tell who it was.
She tilted her head and decided to continue listening.
It was that shrill female voice again, and this time her voice had a hint of superiority:
"Oh, you are now a 22-year-old bachelor, not to mention your family. You are ugly, a warrior, and you don't have a single good feature."
"As for me, although I have an ordinary appearance and my family background is not as good as yours, I am willing to become the Lu family's concubine. There is just one thing that you, the Lu family, must do."
