Xu Xiuyi was only afraid that Su Jinyuan would suddenly want to be intimate with her. Fortunately, in the next few days, because the old lady of the Su family was ill, Su Jinyuan went away as a filial piety and stayed with the old lady of the Su family every day. As for Xu Xiuyi, she found her by herself
A reason why he is unfit and unable to move, he still lives in the manor.
After all, Su Jinyuan couldn't stand it anymore, so she told Xu Xiuyi to come and see her every two days. Xu Xiuyi wished she could come every ten days and a half.
As soon as Su Jinyuan left, Xu Xiuyi felt much relieved. She saw that half of July had passed. She had already made plans for Su Jinye's affairs, but now it seemed that time was a little tight.
Seeing that her body had recovered a lot, the pain in her ankles had subsided, and her lower abdomen no longer had a dull pain, she secretly left the manor and went to the city without telling her.
The old house of the Su family.
Xu Xiuyi knew that the Su family had many monks and nuns, but she did not expect that the old lady of the Su family was so cruel that she would allocate such a dilapidated house to Su Jinye. There had been several heavy rains in the past few days, and the sewerage facilities in the yard were old.
There were puddles of water, not to mention that it had been in disrepair for a long time, and you could smell a moldy wood smell in the yard.
Xu Xiuyi sighed in her heart, why did the Su family, with so much wealth, treat a concubine so harshly.
Seeing her standing at the door and not looking around, Mrs. Su Li felt a little embarrassed: "I didn't expect you to come over, otherwise you and Qing girl would have swept away the water. You go under the corridor and lift up your clothes. Don't give it to me."
It’s wet.”
"Where's eldest brother?"
Xu Xiuyi walked carefully through the puddles and turned around to ask.
Su Lishi smiled and said: "He is reading in the room. Didn't you tell him not to be depressed and read more books? Ever since I received your letter that day, he has become alive. Xiu Yi, thank you."
Mrs. Su Li sincerely expressed her gratitude to Xu Xiuyi. Xu Xiuyi did not say anything but just smiled. As Mrs. Su Li entered the house, the musty smell in the house became stronger. She saw some lime placed in the corner of the house, probably to absorb moisture, but
Now they have become caked and changed color, which shows how heavy the mold and moisture in this house are.
When Su Jinye saw Xu Xiuyi come in, he stood up with joy: "Xiu Yi, why are you here? You feel so good. Come on, let me show you."
Xu Xiuyi smiled slightly: "It's okay, brother, don't worry. Brother, I came out here without telling Jin Yu, and your girl is watching me closely, so let's get down to business. I'll tell you first that we have encountered a problem, mother.
I won’t let you take over the semicolon.”
Su Jinye and Su Li both looked sad, but Xu Xiuyi hurriedly said: "So, I plan to let the eldest brother pay for the semicolon himself. Let's see if mother has anything else to say."
This idea may not be that good.
Su Jinye knew that Xu Xiuyi's statement was correct, but the key was that he had no money at all.
He said with some difficulty: "Xiu Yi, brother, let me tell you the truth, my mother kicked us out and only gave us a little money. Look at my house, I don't even dare to add any furniture. You know this."
How much is it?"
"Haha, brother, don't worry, I know that brother can't afford the money."
Mrs. Su Li interrupted: "I can ask my father for it."
After saying that, he took a careful look at Su Jinye and saw that Su Jinye had his head half lowered, with a somewhat frustrated look on his self-esteem.
"You have to rely on your mother's family. Your sister-in-law doesn't give me a good look when she sees me now. When I see your family, I can't even lift my head. It's because I don't live up to expectations and don't give you a good life. You're like that
The young lady from a wealthy family followed me and became a loser..."
"Jinye, I don't allow you to say that." Mrs. Su Li went up and pressed Su Jinye's mouth. Xu Xiuyi looked at this tenderness with envy.
I just heard her smile heartily and say: "Brother, you have to earn every penny of this money yourself, and none of us will help you."
"How is this possible? Your eldest brother has never done any business." Su Li first mentioned Su Jinye and became worried.
Xu Xiuyi no longer talks about it: "There is a way to make money. Although it is risky, it can solve the urgent need. If you do it well, you can make a career in the future."
"What method?" Su Jinye and Su Li asked in unison.
Xu Xiuyi lowered her voice and whispered a few words into their ears. Su Jinye looked surprised at first, then frowned, and then nodded in agreement.
Although Mrs. Su Li didn't quite understand what Xu Xiuyi was talking about as a bond, it seemed to make some sense.
"Xiu Yi, what will happen if the money is not paid by then?"
"Brother, just don't worry. If you really don't pay by then, I'll pay it back for you. Now you just do as I say, rent a small store with the money you have, put up a sign with the ticket number, and then find a dragon and lion to fight on the streets.
I’m here to promote it to you. With your reputation as the Su family’s uncle, the strength of my sister-in-law’s family, and my name as the Protector of the Country, I’m not afraid that others won’t believe me.”
"But Xiu Yi, the interest you mentioned, will I lose money after all?"
"So I said it's an urgent matter to get the money first, right? You do what I do, the sooner the better. Even if you lose money, I have a way for him to make it back. It's just a matter of time. In order to make the money come
Hurry up, raise the interest rate, and when we have enough money to open a semi-colon, the interest rate will be lowered."
"Is this really okay?"
"Nowadays, people have more or less surplus money. Instead of leaving it at home and waiting for it to go bad, it is better to use our banknote money to make money and make money. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of such a cheap thing? Sister-in-law, do you think you can save a lot of copper coins?
, after one year we will give you one thousand and forty copper coins, which sounds like a small amount, right? But if you deposit one thousand and forty taels, after one year we will give you one thousand and forty taels, these forty taels
It’s like taking it for free, who wouldn’t want to let it in?”
"You're right. Even if you only have forty copper coins, you can still eat forty meat buns. But we are not doing a loss-making business this way."
Xu Xiuyi couldn't tell them anything about corporate loans or anything like that now. She was afraid they wouldn't understand if she talked too much, so she just said firmly: "Brother and sister-in-law, just believe in me."
Su Li hesitated a little, but Su Jinye said firmly: "Xiu Yi, brother, I will follow you."
Xu Xiuyi smiled knowingly. This trust was enough. Originally, she had no intention of risking a career in banking. After all, she had no experience with the banking industry and had no understanding of it. She had only deposited and withdrawn money as a customer before, but since the old lady of the Su family forced
When it comes to her, she gives it a go. Even if she loses money, she still bears the responsibility. How can there be no risk in doing business?
Maybe she was forced by the old lady of the Su family, or maybe it was just a voice in her heart that kept competing with certain people. So what if the richest businessman in the world, if she wanted to, she could do it for money and career.
If he could abandon her without hesitation, then she would let him taste the feeling of having nothing.
She had thought a lot these days. Instead of completely forgetting that person in her pain, it would be better to stand at the same height as him or even higher than him, looking down at him.
Can wealth replace everything?
Then she would let wealth replace all the memories she had with him.
After coming out of the Su family's mansion, she ordered a carriage to go to the manor on the outskirts of the city. When the carriage left the city, the driver suddenly stopped halfway.
"What's wrong?"
"Grandma, the road ahead is blocked."
It was fine when it came!
Xu Xiuyi opened the car curtain and looked out. On the road ahead, there was a man fighting with all his strength. The figure from behind was all too familiar.
Xu Xiuyi put down the car curtain, her face was cold, her bare hands were clenched tightly at her sides, her knuckles were clean.
"Tell him to give way."
"Okay, grandma, please wait."
The driver got out of the car and stumbled back quickly. His face was a bit pale: "Grandma, let's go back. That man's body is covered in blood. It's strange that it was oozing from someone else."
"Blood?"
"Grandma, please stop looking. It's bad luck. Let's go back quickly."
The car turned around and headed back, and suddenly heard the sound of an object falling to the ground. Xu Xiuyi was startled, but she was cold and didn't care. He always got himself into trouble like this. It was fate to save him the first time, and it was fate to save him the second time.
It was heartache. The third time the two had nothing to do with each other, and whether they lived or died had nothing to do with her.
"Then let's go."
With an indifferent word, the coachman had already turned around and headed back. The wind blew up the curtains. In the haze, Xu Xiuyi seemed to see the man lying on the muddy road, smiling sadly at her.
She closed her eyes, brushed away all the smiles, and told the coachman: "Hurry up."
The car sped up, but Xu Xiuyi probably didn't see it. The man who was lying in a pool of blood stood up, his face was lifeless and stern. Behind him, a man in brocade clothes came out of the bamboo forest, with a sneer on his face.
.
"I've given up now. She doesn't care about you at all. It doesn't matter to her even if she dies. Mr. Cheng, why are you bothering? You copied her recipe for turtle jelly to anger her, but she didn't react at all. Now you want to do this again
She made herself stink like a dog, and based on your understanding of her expression and tone, do you think she ran away because of fear? That's because she knew it was you."
Yes, she has never been afraid of blood. When they first met, he had more blood on his body than now. She did not shout or yell, she calmly persuaded him to follow her, and skillfully sewed up his wounds and applied medicine.
Wu Mo was right, she didn't run away because she was afraid, she ran away because she knew it was him.
Wu Mo told him to give up, but Wu Mo probably didn't know that his heart had already died that day when she came back with such words from Wu Mo.
As for why he appeared here to test him, he himself didn't know, maybe he was just a bitch in his heart!
"Let's go, brother, it stinks so much. Fortunately for someone who loves cleanliness like you, you actually got yourself covered in dog blood. Just wash it off. You're just a woman. If you want, I'll find the most beautiful woman in the world to give it to you."
.”
He ignored Wu Mo and strode straight into the depths of the forest. His face was as cold as an iceberg, making people afraid to approach him at will.
Wu Mo followed him from a distance, but lost him after just two steps. She could only sigh sadly and look at the direction where An Chengshao disappeared, with heartache in her eyes.
When Xu Xiuyi's eyes fell on the direction back to the city, they narrowed into a thin line and became a bit more hateful.
＊
After returning to the city, the scene just now lingered for a long time. The carriage driver sent her back to her old place. She was standing at the door of the Su family's old house, not knowing where to go.
Is he gone? Or died there?
Why was he injured again? Does he like to fight with people? Looking at the blood all over his body and the river of blood on the ground, it seems that he was seriously injured. If he was in that kind of place, he would probably die.
There were originally only some manor houses of wealthy families in the south of the suburbs, but it rained a lot at this time of year, and the roads on the outskirts of the city were muddy all the time, so not many people wanted to live in the suburbs.
She went all the way back and forth without encountering a carriage. If he was left to lie there, he might really die.
She is a doctor, she shouldn't be like this, it goes against medical ethics.
Even if he is an enemy, she should not abandon him, not to mention that this is the father of the child. The only thing he feels sorry for her is that he abandoned their relationship for wealth. This sin is not punishable by death. She does not need to rely on this relationship to survive.
.
She just refused to save him. If he really died, she would not be happy or happy. She would only be tortured by herself for the rest of her life. Even how would she face the child after it was born...
Feeling extremely entangled in her heart and blaming herself, she finally called a carriage without hesitation and hurried to the countryside.
When we arrived again, there was only a pool of blood on the ground and no one was there.
Her heart was suddenly seized, and she shouted to the empty road: "Master An Cheng, Master An Cheng, where are you, Master An Cheng?"
There was no response, only a trail of blood heading deeper into the jungle.
She searched for blood stains and went deep into the jungle.
She probably didn't realize it herself. She was so anxious that she didn't even distinguish between human blood and dog blood. She just thought he had suffered misfortune. She walked in a hurry and almost tripped over a bush several times. Her smooth forehead was covered with blood.
There were beads of sweat, the sleeves of his clothes were scratched by bushes, and there were a few bloody cuts on the backs of his hands.
Following the blood trail deep into the jungle, there was still no trace of An Chengshao. He must have been dragged into the deepest pit by his enemies to bury his body.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiuyi's eyes turned red, she made a trumpet shape with her hands, put it to her mouth and shouted with all her strength: "Master An Cheng, where are you, Master An Cheng, Master An Cheng!"
The wind blows, a faint smell of blood fills your nose and mouth, and the footsteps behind you are staggering.
Xu Xiuyi turned around happily, and what she saw was that Wu Mo was pressing her arm in pain, with blood seeping out from between her white fingers. Her face was almost pale: "Xiu Yi, save me."
After saying this, Wu Mo fainted.
Xu Xiuyi was stunned. After a moment, she stepped on the bushes and walked toward Wu Mo. She found that Wu Mo's face was pale, but his lips were purple-red. Blood could not help but flow from the fingers of his pressed arm. She
When I took Wu Mo's hand, there was a cross cut on the arm. Because the cut was deep, the blood was flowing.
There were two tooth marks on the edge of the cross blade. Looking at Wu Mo's lips, it was obviously snake venom.
Wu Mo probably wanted to force out the poison himself, so he separated the cross incisions and bled, but the arm method obviously didn't work.
Now, the whereabouts of Young Master An Cheng are unknown, and Wu Mo is so injured. Xu Xiuyi is in a dilemma. She is worried that something will happen to Young Master An Cheng, but also knows that Wu Mo cannot delay for a moment.
Picking up Wu Mo, she trudged out of the forest while shouting even more hysterically: "Young Master An Cheng, Young Master An Cheng, Young Master An Cheng."
The voice gradually became hoarse, became more crying, and gradually became heartbreaking.
She was sure that something might have happened to Mr. An Cheng. He lost so much blood but went into the dense forest without returning to the city. Something must have happened to him.
Tears couldn't help falling, my heart would still hurt for him after all, it hurt so much.
After carrying Wu Mo out, the groom was still waiting for her. Seeing her carrying someone taller than herself, he came up to help her.
"Grandma, what's wrong?"
"Stop talking, hurry up and take him to Baoning Hall or Security Hall. You, hurry up. It's important to save people. Don't worry about me. I have to find another friend of mine."
When the coachman heard this, he hurriedly carried Wu Mo onto the carriage. Wu Mo had already started to foam at the white foam, and the coachman did not dare to delay for a moment and ran towards the city.
Xu Xiuyi turned back and continued towards the depths of the dense forest.
After two heavy rains, there was moisture everywhere in the dense forest. Xu Xiuyi followed the path she came out and went back. As she walked, she called An Chengshao's name until she shouted until she was hoarse. When she ran out of strength, she finally fell down.
On the ground.
The blood stains were gone, the footprints were gone, and Master An Cheng was still missing.
She sat slumped on the ground, not realizing that the seconds passed by without her realizing it. Her mind was empty except for one thought: Young Master An Cheng was dead.
There were no tears, but sadness swept over her on a large scale. All she felt was pain, and all she felt was despair. This despair was even more unbearable than the despair she felt when she was waiting for An Chengshao to come and recognize the child in her belly.
She hated him, but she couldn't bear his death.
There is such a person, you wish he would die, but when he really dies, the world will be dark. For Xu Xiuyi, An Chengshao is such a person.
She sat dumbly in the depths of the forest for a long time. It was getting dark and she didn't realize it. It wasn't until there was a torch shaking in the jungle and someone called the third grandma that she looked up infatuatedly and looked at the jumping torch. She wished it was...
Master An Cheng came to find her.
"Third Grandma, Third Grandma is here, Third Grandma is here."
It was the clerk from Baoning Hall who spotted Xu Xiuyi first and called out loudly.
Shaoqing, a dozen people gathered around, Xu Xiuyi's eyes were still wandering, as if she was stupid.
"Third Grandma, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting here?" Guan Dahu's family member stepped forward and pulled Xu Xiuyi. Xu Xiuyi fell lightly and closed her eyes.
"Third grandma, third grandma."
Countless footsteps and shouts, but she seemed to be unable to hear them. She was completely deaf and blind. She was obviously still awake, but at this moment she wished she could fall asleep forever.
The group of people carefully lifted Xu Xiuyi out. Ah Fu's eyes were red. Guan Dahu and others also looked heavy. The apprentice from the medical center took her pulse and said that her pulse was relatively stable, but she was a little tired.
, everyone felt relieved, thinking that Xu Xiuyi had fainted from exhaustion, and hurriedly sent her out.
＊
In the city, Security Hall.
The carriage driver sent Wu Mo to Baoning Hall, but An Chengshao, who had just returned, happened to see him. Wu Mo was carried into Baoning Hall by An Chengshao before Wu Mo entered Baoning Hall.
Wu Mo was poisoned by snake venom, so Su Jinyi had two brushes, so he quickly gave Wu Mo acupuncture to inject the poison, and then gave Wu Mo Qingxin Pills, which temporarily stabilized Wu Mo's heart.
Wu Mo woke up in a daze in the afternoon, shouted "Xiu Yi" and fainted again. An Chengshao didn't take it to heart until he saw Su Jinyuan opposite him in the evening and asked everyone to look for Xu Xiu Yi anxiously, saying that it was Xu Xiu Yi
After missing, he thought of Wu Mo's embroidered memory.
Leaving everything behind, he searched the city for the coachman who had brought Wu Mo back. He searched for a full hour before he found him. When he asked, he found out that it was Xu Xiuyi who had rescued Wu Mo from the dense forest and brought him back. The coachman said that Xu Xiuyi turned around and returned.
I entered the woods and now I don’t know where I am.
After An Chengshao heard all this, he rushed to the outskirts without stopping. What he saw was the Su family, carrying the unconscious Xu Xiuyi out of the depths of the forest. He did not dare to get close, and looked at it from a distance with his eyes closed.
, her face turned ashen, and her heart ached beyond control.
She's back after all, right?
She had obviously left, so she went into the woods to follow the bloodstains to find him?
Is she okay?
"Hurry up and send her to Baoning Hall. Although the fetal air has not moved, the poisonous gas in the forest is heavy, and grandma has been sitting there in a daze for who knows how long."
Someone said something, and it happened that the words slipped into the ears of An Chengshao, who was pretending to be a passerby, and felt pain in his heart again.
The coachman said that after rescuing Wu Mo in the afternoon, she went into the dense forest again. Was she tied down or trapped in a trap? She sat in such a damp and miasma-filled forest all afternoon.
Seeing how bad her face was, he wanted to go up and hug her. She must have been so helpless, confused and scared when she was trapped alone in the woods.
"Let's go back."
The carriage started, and all the clerks from Baoning Hall got on it, and the carriage headed towards the city. Master An Cheng got on the horse and followed the carriage at a distance, still just a passerby.
He had never been a right person in her life. Now, just wanting to take a look at her has become a huge difficulty.
However, as long as she is fine, he is willing to bear it no matter what.
He had always thought that he had given up on her, and had always felt that he was being cheated on her. But today he realized that his love for Xu Xiuyi was never cheating, but a love that he could not let go of despite being riddled with holes.
