"It's really you!"
Dongfang Rui recognized Nanny Li at a glance. He had dreamed of the scene when she and Su Yun left Yunjing too many times. Even though more than ten years had passed, Dongfang Rui still felt extremely familiar.
Aunt Li wiped her tears, leaned down and bowed to the ground, "Your Majesty, your servant Li Xiaocui is back!"
"Get up quickly!"
Dongfang Rui put aside Su Zipei, jumped off the stage and helped Nanny Li up, "What exactly happened back then, please tell me in detail!"
The sudden appearance of Aunt Li made Zhu Yan and Su Zipei's eyes pop out with shock. They never thought that the maid who sold herself to the Su family was actually working as an errand in the palace.
Ling Qinglan spoke at the right time and said: "Prince Rui, I did a lot of research and found the maid who was by my side. Of course, Granny Li knew everything that the prince wanted to ask. But the prince should deal with the current matter first and then make plans." "
Dongfang Rui pursed his lips, straightened up and stared at Nanny Li, "Nanny Li, tell me, is Su Zipei my biological daughter?"
At this moment, everyone held their breath, waiting for Grandma Li's answer.
Su Zipei and Zhu Yan's eyes were splitting, and they wanted to kill Grandma Li with their eyes. Zhu Yan even started to look for the mysterious woman in the crowd, hoping that she would take action again and make Grandma Li speechless forever.
When Wu Bin saw this scene, he immediately approached Granny Li without leaving a trace, looking around with alert eyes.
Hidden in the crowd, the woman in green cursed "trash" in a low voice, put away the hidden weapon in her hand, and turned away without hesitation. Wu Bin and Ling Qinglan joined forces to defend themselves, and there was no way she could succeed.
"Your Majesty! Su Zipei is Madam Zhu's biological daughter. When I fainted on the roadside, Madam Zhu took the little lady away, and she took away the jade pendant and left it to Su Zipei! The little lady has lived a very hard life these years, It's all the slave's fault..."
After wailing, Grandma Li broke down in tears.
Dongfang Rui's pupils shrank, and gradually a red light appeared. In this way, Zhu Yan and Su Zipei were not close to him, but were the culprits who caused her daughter to suffer!
Su Zipei fell to her knees with a "plop", and the pearls in her hair were scattered all over the floor. Her face was dull, tears were flowing down her face, and her makeup was blurred in a blink of an eye.
She was clearly going to become Dongfang Zipei. Why didn't God open his eyes and let Grandma Li stand up at this time? !
Zhu Yan could no longer care about her daughter at this moment. She retreated towards the back of the crowd and took off her luxurious clothes. It was a serious crime to deceive the prince. Even if Su Li would plead for mercy this time, Prince Rui might not let her go!
But before she could escape a few steps, she was discovered by Wu Bin, "Come here! Capture Zhu Yan and Su Zipei and send them to Dali Temple for custody!"
Before Zhu Yan could react, she was pushed to the ground by the palace guards, unable to move. Su Zipei seemed to be deeply stimulated and did not react at all from the beginning to the end.
After arresting Zhu Yan and Su Zipei, Wu Bin still looked very ugly. He walked back and dispersed the guests, "Everyone, I'm sorry. The banquet has dispersed. Your Majesty, he has urgent matters to attend to."
Everyone left knowingly, but they all became excited in their hearts. Tomorrow's Yunjing City will be even more lively than before!
In the blink of an eye, all the guests left, Ling Qinglan and Ling Li also left, leaving only Nanny Li alone in the house.
Dongfang Rui personally helped up Nanny Li, who was kneeling on the ground, and was about to pull her into the house. However, Nanny Li was suddenly stunned and looked back, but there was still half a figure of Su Li in the palace.
"Little miss!"
Nanny Li exclaimed and chased out the door. Dongfang Rui's expression changed slightly and she immediately followed.
Nanny Li walked out of the door and saw Su Li who had not gone far. She couldn't help shouting and chasing after her, "Little miss, why are you leaving?!"
Dongfang Rui saw Su Li again with a stunned look on his face.
It turns out that everything has gone around and back to the starting point. Ling Li was right. The daughter he pointed out to him by chance was really his biological daughter.
But seeing Su Li's cold face, his heart couldn't help but sink.
Yes, just like her back then, she was disdainful of the so-called powerful. How could Ayun's daughter be as greedy for fame and fortune as Su Zipei? He was only immersed in the false warmth of father and daughter, but he didn't want to think about it. That's real.
Grandma Li watched the father and daughter look at each other and was speechless for a long time. She consciously fell silent and waited for the situation to develop.
"I'm very disappointed in you."
After an unknown amount of time, Su Li finally spoke, and what she said made Dongfang Rui feel cold, "Mom said that my mother is a genius of wisdom and knowledge, and her husband should be calm and composed at all times, with excellent planning skills. But you just believed it. It’s a one-sided statement and you don’t want to think too much about it. There are obviously many loopholes, but you don’t want to doubt it. Could it be that you are tired of not being able to find any news about your biological daughter for many years, so you are anxious to find a daughter to deal with? "
Dongfang Rui took a few steps back with a pale face, his heart was cut by a knife, but every word Su Li said made him unable to refute.
"Miss… "
Nanny Li murmured, feeling uncomfortable. She didn't want to see the relationship between the father and daughter, who had just met, reach such a cold stage.
Su Li turned her head, suddenly smiled, looked at Dongfang Rui and continued: "Mommy, don't worry, I'm not angry, I'm just stating a fact. If the dignified King Rui is just such a thing, then the so-called acknowledgment of relatives... don't Whatever."
"Li'er, you..."
Dongfang Rui clutched his chest and sighed.
"Don't call me Li'er!" Su Li's gaze suddenly became sharp, "Before I let you go, you have no right to call me that!"
"I… "
Dongfang Rui moved his lips, but finally said nothing. Wu Bin couldn't stand it, but he had done things poorly before, and he really had no shame to criticize Su Li, so he could only say with a pleading look on his face:
"Little... Miss Su, this is all the fault of the old slave, not the master! What happened back then, the master never stopped to track down the murderer. Over the years, the master has been carrying the pressure of the Queen Mother and has not married the princess again, you Even if you don’t want to come back for the time being, don’t be so decisive. The master’s body... "
"Wu Bin!"
Dongfang Rui interrupted him, looked at Su Li and said slowly: "It's a mistake, it's a mistake. Su Li, I don't ask you to come back, nor do I ask you to be my father, I just ask you... to atone for my sins once." opportunity. For your mother, I will no longer be a coward."
With that said, Dongfang Rui handed over the jade pendant in his hand, and his majestic face gradually showed pleading.
Su Li patted Dongfang Rui's hand gently, shook her head and said, "You can't believe what you say. I never believe in any promises. When the truth comes to you that one day, Your Majesty, your mother almost died, I might consider accepting it."
After saying that, Su Li glanced at Nanny Li and said, "Nanny Li, just stay in the palace and tell him what happened back then. I'll go back."
"Little miss!"
Nanny Li called out, but when she saw that Su Li didn't turn around, she could only sigh. The young lady's temper was still as stubborn as before.
When Dongfang Rui heard what Su Li said about the agreement, he saw a glimmer of hope that Su Li would return home. He immediately took Nanny Li back to the house in a hurry, while not forgetting to say: "Wu Bin, send someone to the side house to protect her." , if there is anything wrong with her, I will ask you!"
"Yes, Master! I will never make a mistake again this time!"
Wu Bin nodded repeatedly. He had made mistakes again and again. If the young lady was put in danger again now, he would rather die for Su Li!
Tonight, many people have no sleep all night.
Aunt Li and Dongfang Rui held a candlelight conversation at night and learned that Su Li was so thin that he was inhuman shape due to Zhu Yan's torture when he was a child. They also knew that Su Li relied on his own efforts to gain a glimmer of vitality. Behind the so-called "Lecturer", there is endless bitterness and hardship. suffering.
He couldn't imagine how Su Li could bear it alone at such a young age.
Dongfang Rui suddenly felt that Su Li's indifferent temperament was excusable. On the contrary, it was too naive for him to blindly and unilaterally fantasize about his daughter's ideal character.
While Dongfang Rui was still learning about Su Li's past, the news that Prince Rui's house had made a big mistake when he recognized his relatives was like a tornado, blowing through every corner of Yunjing City. The topic between Prince Rui and the Su family became more and more intense. It was so popular that even the remote Zhouyue Winery had a lot of drinkers sitting in the winery and talking loudly.
After the business closed, the landlady put away the dishes and kept watching. As the sun set, she finally saw her husband coming back.
She raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry. Xuan Jingzhou hurriedly begged for mercy: "Madam, wait a minute! Don't do anything. I will not be idle all day and night. I have to do business!"
boom!
The landlady was sitting at the table, and the ground shook. She said in an unusually strong voice: "Speak!"
Xuan Jingzhou closed the door of the wine shop and said loudly: "I managed to sneak into the palace last night. What happened that night was really exciting! Guess what happened?"
The proprietress took a kitchen knife and picked her nails, and sneered: "Are you going to say that Su Zipei and her mother teamed up to deceive Prince Rui?"
"Madam, how do you know?"
Xuan Jingzhou's eyes widened, and the landlady immediately laughed angrily, "This matter spread throughout Yunjing City early in the morning, and you asked me how I knew about it? Okay! You Xuan Jingzhou, where on earth are you fooling around today? Well, if you don’t tell me why, I’m not done with you!”
"Hey! Hey! Don't be angry, I'm really delayed by something."
Xuan Jingzhou opened his sleeves to reveal a dark hand, and made a splash.
The look on the landlady's face instantly turned calm, and she bolted the door. Without clearing away the dishes, she directly took Xuan Jingzhou to the underground secret room and bandaged his wounds.
"Hey, be gentle!"
Xuan Jingzhou gasped in pain, "I did sneak into Prince Rui's Mansion yesterday, but I left without hearing the end. After Yun'er's personal maid appeared, I found someone around me leaked the murderous intention. After Wu Bin noticed , the man quickly calmed down his smell and retreated, and I chased after him... "
Snapped!
The proprietress wrapped up the wound and slapped it hard, causing Xuan Jingzhou to scream in pain.
"Madam, you are trying to murder your husband!"
The landlady said bitterly: "Don't you know how much you have weighed? If the other party has a large number of people, and you chase after him so recklessly, wouldn't you be asking for your own death?"
Although the landlady's tone was harsh, the concern revealed in her words could not be faked. Xuan Jingzhou smiled sheepishly, scratched his head and said, "I won't dare to do it next time, but this time I was lucky. The man's body skills were not as good as mine. After I caught up with him, he fought with me a few times, but he was no match for me, but..."
"But you have a lot of tricks, so you are being plotted, aren't you?" The landlady rolled her eyes, "Fortunately, although the poison on the hidden weapon is powerful, it is easy to detoxify it."
"Isn't she unarmed? Although the little girl's level of Xuan Gong is high, her cultivation level is not as good as mine. If I had a weapon in hand, I would definitely be able to stop her."
Xuan Jingzhou wanted to say a few more words, but was frightened away by the look from the landlady, and quickly changed his words: "I won't dare to do it next time, my life comes first!"
The landlady hummed softly, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said hesitantly: "I heard from the drinkers that Xiaoyun's daughter is a girl named Su Li. She didn't recognize Dongfang Rui, and now she lives in the Guoxue side house. We want to do not go… "
"Su Li?"
Xuan Jingzhou perked up, "Abbot Chanshan didn't lie to us, Xiaoyun's daughter really showed up! But the more we get to this time, the less we can act rashly. King Rui will definitely send heavy troops to guard the Guoxuebangfu. We can forcefully break in." It's too much to scare the snake, and that girl Su Li doesn't know our identity, so she may not be willing to cooperate with us, so it's better to wait for the opportunity in secret."
Hearing this, the landlady hesitated for a long time and finally nodded.
Separated by a thin iron wall, Qu Qingning was shocked. He covered his mouth and ran towards the ground. He persisted in monitoring the activities of the wine shop next door every day, and finally he heard the big news!
