Regarding the fire at Jinniang's silk and satin shop, Su Jinyuan had already explained it. Xu Xiuyi naturally would not go into it further. Jinniang also refunded her deposit two days later. It was even more difficult for Xu Xiuyi to ask about this matter.
In the next three days, she searched for several embroidery shops, but was surprised that every embroidery shop was either short of silk or silk threads. This matter became more and more fishy, as if someone was causing trouble.
Who could interfere with it? After thinking about it, it was probably Su Jinyi, but Su Jinyi didn't know about her business with Jinniang Embroidery Village, so why would he interfere with it for no reason.
Thinking that Su Jinyuan had said that the Su Jiang family was not doing well that day, and that she had not seen this family for a long time, she asked Jin Yu to prepare some gifts in the afternoon, and sent a letter to the Su Jiang family to make an appointment.
Su Jiang met at the teahouse in the south of the city.
Su Jiang arrived late. Although she still had a proud expression on her face, she could not conceal her tiredness and haggard appearance, and she had also lost a lot of weight.
When she saw Xu Xiuyi, she asked coldly: "What are you looking for from me?"
Xu Xiuyi gestured to her with a hand gesture of "please sit down" and poured tea for Mrs. Su Jiang herself: "Why is the second sister-in-law so tense? It's just that my mother is thinking about the second sister-in-law and she is inconvenient, so she asked me to come and see the second sister-in-law."
When Su Jiang heard this, her expression changed, but she quickly returned to her indifference: "I will naturally go see her next month."
"Second sister-in-law, why don't you have a cup of tea? In fact, second sister-in-law, you are not doing well. Mother has known about it for a long time and wants to stand up for you. But the fourth brother's wedding is coming soon, and you will never visit her. She is
Even if I want to say a few words about my second brother, I won’t be able to see my second brother.”
"Does mother know?"
Su Jiang finally fell into the trap.
His eyes were red, and his face looked aggrieved, but he was stubborn and refused to let the tears fall.
She must have been in a very bad life, and you could vaguely see a scratch on her neck. It couldn't have been scratched by her naughty children.
Xu Xiuyi got up and pulled her to sit down, pushed a cup of tea in front of her, and sighed: "Although you have moved out, my mother still misses you. A few days ago, someone came to our store and told us about your home.
When I told my mother about the first thing, she immediately said angrily that she wanted to find her second brother to give her a lesson. The old man was weak, and it took a lot of effort to organize the fourth brother's wedding. She fainted before she even reached the door.
Go back and rest."
Xu Xiuyi said anything to pull the old lady of the Su family over. This Su Jiang family used to try hard to please the old lady, but now she probably thinks that the old lady really has feelings for her, so naturally she won't doubt Xu Xiuyi too much about her family.
Where did the news come from?
Moreover, Mrs. Su Jiang harbored hatred towards Xu Xiuyi. If Xu Xiuyi had not pretended to be here on behalf of the old lady of the Su family, she might have turned around and left long ago.
Fortunately, he was left behind. Seeing her looking so sad, Xu Xiuyi tried her best not to laugh at herself. She just sighed deeply, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes: "Second sister-in-law, I know you have suffered a lot.
Sorry, I didn't let you go at home before. If I hadn't gone too far at that time, my second brother wouldn't have moved out. With my mother, my mother can always make the decision for you."
Xu Xiuyi used this trick very well. Su Jiang's heart was particularly soft now because of the pain. Seeing that Xu Xiuyi cried for her as if she was suffering from it and apologized to herself, she could no longer hold back her indifference towards Xu Xiuyi.
There was too much to cry about and tears fell down.
"The one who killed a thousand swords, even if it wasn't you at the time, he had already thought of dividing the family. Without dividing the family, how could he be the master and bring back that little bitch and the little bastard?"
"Second sister-in-law, now my second brother is starting his own business and his business is booming. My mother told me a few days ago that my second brother's temper is such that he treats you like this just after moving out. If you can't protect everything in the future, he will do something worse."
Regarding the account, I see that the wound on your neck, second sister-in-law, was probably scratched by that little bitch."
When it comes to this, Mrs. Su Jiang is even more depressed. She has not had anyone to talk to for a long time. Now seeing Xu Xiuyi, she is full of grievances. What she originally hated has turned into someone she wants to rely on. She wants to tell all these grievances.
Listen to her.
"The one who kills a thousand swords. Yesterday, that little bitch couldn't walk by himself. He fell and broke his knees, but he had to rely on me. You know what that bastard Su Jinyi is like. He even asked that little bitch to beat me.
A slap in the face discouraged her. How could I ask her to hit her? I am not an easy persimmon, so I struggled with that little bitch. Su Jinyi, that bastard, tried to help her, but I asked her to scratch her several times. If it hadn't been for me
If you protect your face with all your strength, I’m afraid your face will be scratched too.”
The more Su Jiang talked, the angrier and aggrieved she became, and her tears fell like broken pearls.
Xu Xiuyi hurriedly held her hand to comfort her.
"Second brother is such a bastard. Even if it is you who tripped up second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you are still the original wife and only the first wife. She is a concubine and can't even be entered into the family tree. How can she fight back? What second brother did is
What's the matter? Our father, as a grandma, dotes on our aunts. If the aunts are arrogant to our mother, our father will not condone it. Second brother, let me put it bluntly, the second brother does not treat you, second sister-in-law, as his wife.
look."
She spoke with indignation, and her tone sounded like she was on Su Jiang's side.
In fact, Mrs. Su Jiang knew in her heart that Su Jinyi probably meant to straighten the little bitch, but after someone else said this, she still felt like the world was spinning and she felt sad and fell in love, and burst into tears.
"What else can I do? My mother-in-law's family is not as rich as my sister-in-law's family, nor is it as powerful as yours. I am a commoner and have no family to rely on. I should have known that your second brother was going to divorce me. That little bitch
Someone gave him a son, and the little bastard listened to his mother's instructions every day. He said in your second brother's ears that he was called a little bastard. Your second brother felt sorry for him, and sooner or later he would give the little bitch a serious blow.
The title of the scripture.”
"It's too shameless, it's too much." Xu Xiuyi stretched out her hand and caressed Su Jiang's back, trying to comfort her, "A Zichen is responsible for Rou girl's life. Shouldn't the second brother feel that he has the deepest feelings for you, the second sister-in-law?"
Are you ashamed?"
Speaking of Su Rouying, Mrs. Su Jiang even burst into tears. She looked like this, not half as beautiful as she was in the Su Mansion that day, with all her graceful faces and arrogant arrogance.
Xu Xiuyi didn't really sympathize with Su Jiang's behavior. She was so comforting and filled with righteous indignation, but she was just doing it to show Su Jiang.
When a person is most vulnerable, it is actually best to attack.
Men use this principle to chase women, and Xu Xiuyi also uses this principle to find insiders.
Seeing Su Jiang like this, she was probably very sad for Su Jinyi. If Xu Xiuyi tried a few more ways to alienate her, she would not be afraid that Su Jiang would not hate Su Jinyi.
"Third brother and sister, I always laughed at you in the past and thought you were not favored. Then I became a widow, but now I am not as good as you. My two girls have really become girls. That little bitch has to do everything around me all day long.
My girl does this and that, and I feel bad for her. When I quarreled with her, your second brother also helped her, saying that the child needed exercise. I treated her baby in the same way, and the little bastard went to tell your second brother that I abused her.
The black spots on his body that he accidentally fell will be pushed onto my two children. You don’t know, my Liying used to like her father so much, but now she is afraid when she sees her father. For that little bastard, Liying
Ying's knees even bled once. How often had that child been wronged like this when he was at home? I hate it, I hate it... I didn't dare to encourage him to separate the family at that time. After all, he had a mother to suppress him.
Don’t dare to move either.”
Su Jiang was full of regrets now. Xu Xiuyi heard the mother and son described to her. They were really cunning and cunning. They were able to bring the always shrewd and prosperous Su Jiang into such a state of decline.
.
She had cried enough listening to Su Jiangshi cry today. Xu Xiuyi patted her shoulder and pushed the gift in front of her: "There is good gold sore medicine in it. Although the Security Hall may also have it, seeing the second brother like this,
I'm not sure if I'm willing to give it to you, but the few marks on my second sister-in-law's neck don't leave any scars."
"Xiu Yi...wu..."
"Second sister-in-law, there are some health-boosting pills in this box. How to take them is written on the bottle. They are all very good. I see you are so thin, don't be sick. There are also new ones from my sister-in-law's family.
She gave me a few pieces of a batch of Hetian jade, and I picked up the best piece and took it over. You can go get some jewelry. Look, the hairpins on your head are the ones I wore when I left home."
Su Jiang's aggrieved heart was warmed by Xu Xiuyi's few words. She finally understood that the family is one family after all. Xu Xiuyi came to see her instead of the old lady. She was glad that the old lady of the Su family still thought about her.
, and her previous efforts to please her old man were in vain.
Before today, she was still full of hostility towards Xu Xiuyi, but after today, she felt that Xu Xiuyi was an extraordinarily sweet person. Xu Xiuyi said every word to her, whether to help her or not, which made her happy.
She originally thought that no one would be willing to help her regarding the anger and hatred she had with Xu Xiu, and the unhappiness she had with the old lady before she left. She and Su Jinyi would have no choice but to hold back their grievances alone, waiting to be punished.
kick.
Now she has confidence in her heart. She has no family members to rely on, and finally her family members are helping her.
After coming out of the teahouse, Xu Xiuyi called a carriage for her and said to her: "Second sister-in-law takes the two girls out to play when she has time. She spends all day at home making big eyes with that little bitch. The only one who suffers is Er sister-in-law."
, for now, second sister-in-law, you should avoid her like the god of plague. I will go back and discuss with mother to see how to deal with that little shameless person."
Hearing this, Su Jiang became more and more confident.
"Xiu Yi, thank mother for me."
"Family, thank you. Second sister-in-law, please go back. If mother has anything to say next time, I will send someone to send a letter and ask second sister-in-law to come out to meet. Second sister-in-law, please don't let your second brother know, lest he, in case of a long night and many dreams,
I turned that woman around early, and my second brother is a romantic. Once my mother turns her around, he will naturally be able to figure out what he can and cannot do."
Mrs. Su Jiang nodded hurriedly: "I know."
"Be careful on the road."
The carriage started slowly, and the gentle smile on Xu Xiuyi's face gradually faded. Jin Yu and the carriage driver were coming over. Seeing Su Jiang's carriage driving far away, she said to Xu Xiuyi: "Grandma, Second Grandma has lost a lot of weight. Originally, she lost a lot of weight."
Those who were round and round are now skin and bones.”
"She only did it by herself, get in the car and go somewhere."
"Where to go?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Xu Xiuyi went to An Mansion in the east of the city. She had not seen An Chengshao for many days. She did not allow An Chengshao to come to her at night. During the day, she had to attend to Su Jinye's wedding. It was rare for her to go to Baoning Hall, but she didn't.
I met An Chengshao.
Long time no see, I miss you very much.
The carriage stopped early. Xu Xiuyi only told Jin Yu that he had to deal with some matters at Baoning Hall, and asked Jin Yu to wait in the car before walking to Anzhai.
After the familiar door knocked, there was a sound of footsteps inside. Shaoqing, a little boy with two buns came to open the door. He looked at Xu Xiuyi and asked curiously: "Who are you looking for?"
"Isn't this Mr. An's residence?"
Hearing this, the little boy put a smile on his face: "You are here to see my young master. He is here. I will go and inform you."
An Chengshao changed his servant?
This little boy looks very cute.
An Chengshao followed the little boy out, and when he saw Xu Xiuyi, Xu Xiuyi was shocked.
His face was pale, he was limping, his arm was hanging on a soft cloth, hanging around his neck, and there was a stab wound at the corner of his left eye. Judging from the degree of scabbing on the wound, this wound was about seven or eight days old.
July 8th was also the day the two of them had not seen each other.
"how did you make it?"
Xu Xiuyi didn't care about the child, and with a heavy face, she stepped forward and held An Chengshao's face.
The little boy chuckled, and An Chengshao scolded: "Go down."
The face is slightly red.
"I accidentally dropped it."
Xu Xiuyi really wanted to slap him to death. He thought she had studied in the medical school for nothing for so many years.
"How did you do it?"
An Cheng saw her face serious, so he knew he couldn't hide it, but he didn't want her to worry too much, so he said: "I got into a fight with someone, and my skills are not as good as others. I suffered a slight injury, but it doesn't matter."
fight?
Xu Xiuyi looked at his pale face. He had an excellent physique and a good foundation. If he hadn't been seriously injured, he would never look so weak. She reached out to pull his belt.
"Take it off and let me see where it's hurt."
It was now broad daylight in the courtyard, and it was said that there was a little ghost who had been hiding behind the moon cave door and peeking.
An Chengshao's face turned red again, and he held Xu Xiuyi's hand: "Come to my room."
He limped away, looking really angry and distressed, so she went up to hold his hand. He smiled warmly at her and whispered: "I miss you very much."
"Stop talking about it." Xu Xiuyi scolded, helped An Chengshao into the room, put him on the bed and was about to undress him, but he grabbed his hand.
"Is it really okay?"
"Let go." She raised her eyes coldly.
"Slight injuries, just superficial injuries."
"Let it go or not?"
Her eyes were colder, with a hint of menace.
An Chengshao finally couldn't resist her and reluctantly let go of her hand.
Xu Xiuyi untied his clothes, and the upper body was wrapped in layers of gauze like a mummy. The gauze was still very messy, and there were faint blood stains on the gauze. The blood stains showed a straight line, spanning from the left shoulder to the left chest.
, needless to say, it must have been another stab wound.
Xu Xiuyi frowned and looked up at his pale, bloodless face. Without saying a word, she began to peel off his bandages layer by layer.
He was unable to stop it, because the bandage was holding the wound in place, and he kept frowning.
Xu Xiuyi's movements gradually relaxed, and no matter how angry she was, she only felt heartbroken now.
It was a shocking wound, even more horrific than the wound when he broke into her world that night.
It's not that the wound is deep, it's that the person who bandaged it and applied the medicine was too weak.
The bandage was wrapped too tightly, compressing the wound, and the powder on the wound was sprinkled unevenly and in small quantities. Some parts of the wound began to scab, while other parts began to fester.
"Don't look."
He was just afraid that she would be sad.
But she poked his wound hard, and it hurt so much that he almost couldn't hold it back.
"It's not like I haven't seen it before. What do you mean by making a pair? One on the right and one on the left look better?"
"Xiu'er, I'm fine."
"Yes, the wound is about to get maggots. You're fine. Just lie down."
An Chengshao followed her like a puppet, but he felt sweet in his heart. He really liked to see her worried and angry little face, it was so beautiful.
After standing up, he ignored her cleaning his wounds, lifted her chin and kissed her.
Xu Xiuyi froze, but the next moment she pushed him away mercilessly. An Chengshao gasped in pain, but she said angrily: "Try using your hands and feet again."
An Chengshao smiled slightly, a bit ruthlessly: "What I move is my mouth - ah..."
"Do you feel good? Shut up and calm down."
He looked at her with warm eyes, learned the lesson, and finally behaved.
The wound was not deep, but had some pus due to improper treatment. Judging from his poor complexion and high body temperature, the wound was probably infected.
Xu Xiuyi carefully healed his wound bit by bit, and then sewed it up like last time. Seeing that he was covered in sweat but didn't even hum a word, she felt distressed and leaned over to kiss him on the lips.
.
"alright."
Just as she was about to leave, she grabbed the back of her head. She didn't dare to move for fear of hurting him, so he could only let him press her to his lips, licking and kissing her wantonly.
I don't know how long it took, but it was so long that Xu Xiuyi felt like she was suffocating. He finally reluctantly let her go, his voice a little hoarse.
"Why are you here today?"
She glared at him and hit his forehead with her forehead. The force was slightly heavy but not painful. He gasped in pretending to be in pain. She snorted and said, "Pretend."
"Haha, I was just thinking about you when you came. I thought you walked out of the painting."
As he spoke, he looked at the wall opposite the bed, and Xu Xiuyi discovered that there was a painting on the wall, and it was not her that was vividly painted.
She walked to the side of the transformation and looked back at him: "Did you draw it?"
"Well, I painted it with you in mind. When I miss you, I always hope that you will come out of this painting."
Xu Xiuyi turned her back, then took a few steps back, pressed against the wall, pulled up the hem of the painting, and hid herself under the painting. Then, she gently opened the painting and slowly revealed her face from behind the portrait with a smile.
, walking towards An Chengshao with lotus steps.
Said: "Is it as you wish?"
He stood up and hooked her waist: "Little fairy."
Xu Xiuyi chuckled, avoiding An Chengshao's wounds with her hands, gently holding his neck, and resting her head on his shoulder: "Aren't you asking me why I came?"
"kindness!"
"Because... I miss you."
Missing her so much that she is here.
It's just that she didn't expect to see such a young master An Cheng.
His injuries were not serious, and it was not as simple as fighting with someone as he said in an understatement.
If it really is everyone, this must be a life-and-death fight.
The knife wounds on the arms, the knife wounds on the eyebrows, the knife wounds on the chest, and the wounds on the ankles where three holes were obviously removed by an eagle's grappling hook. These wounds were all vicious and even fatal.
She suddenly began to be afraid, afraid that one day she would suddenly lose him. He would always leave her covered with scars. One day, those knives would go deeper and those knives would be more precise.
She couldn't imagine it, so she didn't want to hide even an ounce of love.
He kissed her forehead passionately: "I miss you too."
"Master Cheng."
"kindness?"
"Can you tell me who you really are?"
An Chengshao's body visibly stiffened. This was a reaction that was beyond Xu Xiuyi's expectation. In fact, she just wanted to know why An Chengshao always fought so viciously with others, and she also wanted to know what An Chengshao's family was like.
, is Mr. An Chengshao a businessman or an official?
These are actually common problems, and it’s not surprising that lovers know each other’s ins and outs.
But surprisingly, An Chengshao reacted a little strangely when faced with this question, as if he had something ulterior that Xu Xiuyi couldn't know about.
"Xiu'er, there are some things I can't tell you yet."
This was his answer, which surprised Xu Xiuyi even more.
"I know almost nothing about you."
"What do you want to know?"
"What can you tell me?" Since there are some things that he can't tell her now, there are always other things that he can tell her now.
An Chengshao hugged her tightly. This subconscious move, from a psychological point of view, was a fear of loss.
She didn't understand why Mr. An Cheng was afraid of losing her.
"My father died when I was young. My mother and I wandered outside the customs. My mother was seriously ill that year. It was Qin Yan's father who took our mother and son in and raised me as his own son. I am now a
Merchant, do some fur business, you have seen my caravan."
Xu Xiuyi nodded.
He continued: "One more thing, as you know, I am not married yet."
Xu Xiuyi chuckled.
He kissed her forehead: "The fifth prince and I met outside the customs. That year when the emperor was hunting in the desert, the fifth prince got separated from the emperor's convoy and got lost in the desert. He was trapped for three days and three nights. It was me.
A caravan passed by and saved her life."
"What about you and my brother? Did you meet before me or after me?"
"What do you think?"
"Did not say."
"Little girl, of course it's just to get close to you that I do everything possible to please your family and please you."
Xu Xiuyi pretended to be contemptuous: "If you please my family, my family will not agree with me."
"I know, I just want to make up for them as much as possible before taking you away."
"Then how can you make it up to me?"
Xu Xiuyi raised her little face, a bit naughty in her eyebrows.
An Chengshao lowered his head and captured that blush. Is this his way of making amends?
