The arrival of a sweetheart (2)

After confirming that Mrs. Zheng had left, Su Qiruo's tense body relaxed and she fell down on the bed with her head covered. She no longer had the strength to say anything to the young man.

"How...how are you?"

When the young man saw this, he also panicked.

He quickly lay down next to the bed and touched Su Qiruo's forehead, when a warm hand suddenly held his wrist.

"Go...go and bolt the door. I want to sleep for a while."

Su Qiruo opened her eyes weakly. If she wasn't worried about the young man in front of her, she really wouldn't want to say a word.

tired.

The young man retracted his hand helplessly, stood up and bolted the door. When he turned around, he saw that the girl on the bed had already fallen asleep.

She seemed to be really ill, her face was pale, her brows were furrowed, and her brain was confused.

Otherwise, how could she offend that old thug because of him?

He was bought by Su Qiruo's father from Ren Yazi when he left Beijing to take care of Su Qiruo's daily life. But since arriving at the Su family, apart from preparing washing water for Su Qiruo in the morning and evening, he spent the rest of his time

The front yard serves the large Su family.

Mrs. Zheng had always treated him like a rough servant, beating and scolding him at every turn. Others in the Su family also came and went away as soon as they called him. Su Qiruo never said a word for him.

In fact, he didn't blame Su Qiruo either.

Although Su Qiruo was the biological granddaughter of the Zheng family, she was still dependent on others and her life was not easy.

But it was really surprising that she defended him like this today.

Looking back at the bolted door, he suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion well up in his heart.

She was probably worried that Zheng would come over and beat him while she was sleeping, right?

The warm water he had just brought was still in the wooden basin on the side. The young man dragged his aching body forward, washed a piece of handkerchief, took it and put it on Su Qiruo's forehead.

Then he sat on the ground leaning against the bed, lifted up his tattered sleeves, and took a few breaths when he looked at the bruises on his arms.

I don't know how much time passed, but when Su Qiruo opened her eyes again, the sky outside had darkened.

I haven't eaten all day and I don't feel hungry, but my body is still a little weak.

With a slight movement of his head, a still moist handkerchief fell from his forehead.

Su Qiruo was startled, and then she remembered the young man who had been beaten.

But she was so sick that she forgot to ask the young man to buy some medicine and apply it back.

Zheng always hits him hard, and this time will be no exception.

I just didn't expect that the young man who was severely beaten would still take care of her. He was actually a simple guy.

If she was beaten like this, she would definitely not do anything for that vicious master's family again.

Hearing the movement on the bed, the young man sitting next to the bed opened his eyes in a daze. He actually fell asleep sitting on the floor.

I haven't had such a peaceful sleep in a long time.

"Miss, are you awake?"

As soon as the young man opened his eyes, he saw Su Qiruo, who was lying on the bed looking at him. This time, he did not dodge. He only hesitated for a moment, and then took the initiative to get closer.

"What's your name?"

Su Qiruo's voice was hoarse, and she felt quite embarrassed when she asked this question.

Unfortunately, this child's name was not in his memory.

After all, she has been serving her in front of and behind the house for several months. She is really ruthless.

The young man was stunned and stared blankly at Su Qiruo, who had sat up at some point.

"Um?"

Su Qiruo raised her eyebrows, and she couldn't help but feel a smile on her eyes, which turned out to be very pretty.

"Qiao Nian."

The young man clenched his sleeves tightly, half-knelt under the bed, and lowered his eyes.

Su Qiruo nodded lightly and murmured: "Qiao Nian, I will never forget you, your mother must love your father very much!"

Qiao Nian's clean eyes were suddenly covered with mist, and she bit her lips tightly without responding.

If you want to show the Qing Dynasty's music, you will not be able to return home.

Without a family, no one can be whole.

He has nowhere to go, and he can no longer find his mother and father.

If we really talk about it, he and Su Qiruo can be regarded as the same fallen people in the world.

His mother was also convicted in the Tainu case, and her life or death is unknown.

He was imprisoned as a slave, but fortunately, he was bought by Lin, the lord of the Su family, so he was spared the pain of being exiled thousands of miles as a prostitute.

"How about I call you Nian Nian from now on?"

Su Qiruo regained some energy and looked much better than in the morning.

Qiao Nian nodded obediently, she could call him whatever she wanted.

She never called him by his name before, but gave him direct orders every time.

"Miss, are you hungry? I'm going to bring you some food right now."

Qiao Nian got up from the ground. Perhaps her knees were sore from kneeling for too long, and she fell onto the bed.

Su Qiruo raised her hand to support his arm before supporting him.

The arms under his hands are very thin, almost just a layer of skin covering thin bones.

It is conceivable that after the Qiao family was killed, he lived a life of wandering and precariousness.

Mrs. Zheng is also mean and stingy, how can she be willing to give him food?

Thinking of the things she brought back from the capital, Su Qiruo couldn't help but taunt her with a hint of ridicule.

To defraud her of so many valuable items and to torture her, the Su family is really shameless.

Su Qiruo has never been a weakling who allows others to bully her, nor can she retaliate with kindness. She likes to turn the tide and turn to death.

Since she has taken possession of the original owner's body, she must seek justice for her, her mother, and her father.

Everything the Su family owes them must be paid back.

Especially...

Su Qiruo covered the injury on her head and glanced at Qiao Nian who was covered in injuries.

That's too much!

As soon as Qiao Nian's name came out of her mouth, she remembered a lot of things.

In the book, both Qiao Nian and Su Qiruo died under the abuse of the Su family, without waiting for the princess' salvation.

Especially Qiao Nian, who was beaten to death by Zheng.

Now she has also become the cannon fodder in this book. Since she can't do anything else, she should be able to protect this poor little boy!

The day when the princess is rehabilitated will be the day when her mother Su Sanniang and Qiao Nian's mother Lord Qiao are rehabilitated.

It's a pity that Su Sanniang has been executed for taking the blame for the concubine, and Qiao Nian's mother has been exiled to an unknown location.

After her father, Lin, sent her to the Su family, she never received a letter. Su Qiruo thought about it carefully, but she didn't remember what kind of person the father of the original author in the book was.

The cannon fodder's father is just a little-known character, not worth wasting words on.

But where is Qiao Nian's identity, and why did his father save him by such a coincidence?

The profound meaning of this can be guessed by just thinking about it carefully.

Sometimes, not paying attention is also a kind of protection.

The Lin family had tried their best to save the lives of their father and daughter. She was not qualified to blame anyone for the original owner.

A lot of people had died in the imperial court's attempt to seize the rightful son, so she and Qiao Nian were lucky enough to be hiding in the countryside.
