Beside the intestinal tract of the setting sun, a thousand-mile horse is beside it.
Wu Suijun glanced at the family, old and young, and his last glance fell on Wu Jin. Without saying anything, he got on his horse and rode away, kicking up dust.
Wu Jin took a deep breath, his eyes full of ambition. When his father comes back, he will let him see that he is capable enough to protect the entire Wu family!
As Wu Suijun, the mainstay of the family, left the border, the originally prosperous Wu family fell completely silent.
Although Wu Suijun was still a third-rank official, everyone in the court that day could see Dongfang Xiao's suppressive intentions, and they did not dare to have contact with the Wu family. The Wu brothers and sisters who were often out and about in an arrogant manner were nowhere to be seen. It's very sad.
…
Dozens of miles along the official road to the east of Yunjing City, you can see an osmanthus forest. At this moment, when the osmanthus is in full bloom, Su Li can still smell the faint fragrance of osmanthus from a distance.
The carriage drove down the official road and followed the path deep into the sweet-scented osmanthus forest. A huge villa gradually shed the cover of the woods and came into view.
Arriving here, Su Li found that Dongfang Rui beside her never said another word.
Squeak—
The carriage stopped in front of the courtyard. Wu Bin jumped out of the carriage, immediately took down the wooden ladder beside the carriage and put it away. Then he raised the carriage curtain and said, "Master, Miss, we are here."
After the Wu family incident, Dongfang Rui once again asked Su Li to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. Su Li only answered with one sentence, leaving Dongfang Rui speechless.
"My surname is Su."
But this time, Su Li no longer resisted Wu Bin's title.
Wu Bin was slightly happy when he heard that, and he quickly signaled Dongfang Rui with his eyes. Dongfang Rui came back to his senses from the long memories, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and said: "Ali, go in and take a look, I built this for your mother. Other courtyard.”
Su Li glanced at Wu Bin, then silently opened the door and walked in.
Wu Bin suddenly became excited and whispered beside Dongfang Rui: "Master, look, Miss, she is gradually accepting you now. You should be happy."
Dongfang Rui was slightly refreshed, but a wry smile appeared on his face. He had not been to the other courtyard for more than ten years. He and Yun'er had left too many memories here.
Only the appearance of Su Li gave him courage to set foot again.
When he opened the door, the scent of camphor wood greeted him, making Su Li's slightly ups and downs of mind return to calm.
The courtyard is not very big, but it is beautifully decorated and well-equipped. This place is different from Prince Rui's Mansion. There is a feminine tenderness everywhere, which makes her feel very comfortable.
It was designed by my mother.
Her palms caressed the rockery and trees, and she walked along the narrow path. Her expression became more and more peaceful. The anger in her heart from the killings of the previous few nights also dissipated at this moment.
Obviously there are people who specialize in cleaning here, so that it is not contaminated with dust, but it maintains the original appearance of the other courtyard. The people who clean the other courtyard are very attentive.
This thought passed through Su Li's mind, and she gently opened the door. A cold breath rushed in. The furniture in the room were all from the style of more than ten years ago, but they were all polished and as clean as new. She stroked the desk and sat down gently. Down.
Did my mother sit here and read at night every night, studying hard
Suddenly, Su Li saw the clothes folded next to the pillow on the bed. She got up and walked over, picked them up and unfolded them.
It was a silk dress for a baby. My mother probably hadn't realized she was pregnant at that time, but she had already prepared the clothes. Was she looking forward to her arrival
Su Li held the silk clothes and fell into a daze. The scene in his mind of a woman with a vague face sitting beside the bed, folding clothes and full of longing.
I don't know when tears fell down my eyes and dripped on my clothes.
It turned out that her existence had been so carefully protected and yearned for by this woman in her heart.
"Mother..."
Su Li tried to speak out, and a hoarse voice echoed in the cold room, as if someone was responding.
"Miss, the incense candles are ready." Wu Bin's voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Su Li came to her senses, dried her tears and walked out.
This place was a villa built by her father for her mother, and it is now also where her mother's tomb is located.
Following Wu Bin up the mountain from the back of the courtyard, Su Li saw a low slope and Dongfang Rui's rather lonely back on an extremely open hilltop.
Su Li narrowed her eyes, walked to the grave, and saw the words on the tombstone.
"The tomb of my deceased wife Su Yun." The letter was written, "My husband Dongfang Ruili established her."
It is a very simple tombstone. There is no epitaph to record Su Yun's life, and there is no particularly elegant stone tablet.
"Your mother likes simplicity. If I make it complicated, she will definitely blame me again."
Dongfang Rui took a deep breath, pretending to be relaxed and sighed: "Back then, I wanted your mother to enter the imperial mausoleum, but the Queen Mother was still alive at that time, and I couldn't resist, so I could only bury your mother here. Later, every time If you think about it carefully, maybe this is what your mother meant. To her, the Dongfang family's tomb... is a bit dirty."
Su Li turned around and glanced at Wu Bin, who was standing very far away and was not about to come over. He couldn't help but sigh softly, took the incense candle and lit it. He walked a few steps and knelt down without hesitation, inserted the incense into the soft soil, and held it with one hand. Brush the dust off the tombstone.
"You don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me."
When his daughter's plain words came, Dongfang Rui's eyes suddenly became moist, and his tone trembled slightly, "Your mother will definitely talk about weakness again, that's all..."
Every year he comes here, he can't help but cry like a dog, and this time is no different.
Taking a deep breath, Dongfang Rui took the wrapped head, uncovered the white cloth and placed it in front of the tombstone, with joy in his eyes, "Yun'er, I did it. I found my daughter. The enemy has been beheaded. Even your spirit in heaven can do it." Rest in peace.”
The wind blew against my face, like a slight sigh, whispering in my ears.
Su Li tidied the weeds beside the grave, straightened up and looked down the mountain. There were sweet-scented osmanthus forests everywhere. The scenery here was really great.
Her mood suddenly relaxed. At least when her mother was alive, she had a very happy time. There was a man who loved her deeply. Her life was not in vain. Now she saw herself and her father together, in another place. The world would also be very happy.
After a long silence, Su Li turned around and said, "Prince Rui, please let my mother and I be alone for a while."
When Dongfang Rui heard this, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he still said with warmth and concern: "It's getting late. I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain for an hour. Let's talk to your mother."
"Um."
Seeing Dongfang Rui turn around and leave, the landlady who was hiding in the grass immediately wanted to follow, but was held back by Xuan Jingzhou beside her, whose message came immediately.
"Even now, are you still stubborn? Even if you don't see everything Dongfang Rui does, what about Xiaoyun? If you kill him, will Xiaoyun be happy? What should Xiaoli do? ?”
The landlady's body was slightly shaken, and an extremely complicated expression of guilt and self-blame appeared on her face. After a long time, she suddenly relaxed her grip, as if she had lost all her strength, and walked down the mountain.
"Let's go, I'm too embarrassed to see Xiao Li'er."
She had always known clearly in her heart that if she could have arrived faster, Yun'er might... not die.
After Dongfang Rui left, only Su Li and a head were left beside the tombstone.
Su Li gently stroked the stone tablet, as if stroking her mother's cheek.
"Mom, my child has always known that he owes you nothing. He has never married a wife and has been looking for me in the world for these years. But how can I say "Dad"?"
She still remembered that she poisoned Dongfang Rui with her own hands in her previous life. She watched the man fall down and spit out black blood. Her heart was full of joy and her face was ferocious!
Then Su Zipei appeared quietly and told the truth. Dongfang Rui never closed his eyes, and the disbelief and regret in his eyes never disappeared from her mind.
How can you say that such a terrible sin can be completely forgotten if you start over
"Sin devils like you and me, who have committed such sins, will only end up dying miserably. I will wait for you underground, hahahaha..."
Ye Tian's words before her death suddenly came to her ears, and Su Li's eyes became watery. She sat beside the tombstone and slowly hugged her arms tightly.
At this moment, she is no longer a wise woman strategizing, nor is she "Mr. Li" who controls all situations and always takes it easy, but is just a sixteen-year-old girl who feels guilty and has nowhere to express her feelings.
The mountain wind came, making the white cloth on his head growl, and finally it fell to the side with his head. Gulu remembered that it rolled at Su Li's feet.
Su Li raised her head and stared at the head for a long time.
Suddenly, her brows furrowed slightly, sensing something unusual, and then the golden light in her eyes condensed. In Su Li's eyes, Wu Lirong suddenly distorted for a few seconds, as if melting, and turned into another face.
She is not Wu Lirong!
Su Li's expression turned cold for a moment, her anger aroused her cultivation, and the wind and forest sounded as her black hair danced wildly.
In a fit of rage, she smashed her head into pieces with one palm, causing blood to rain all over the sky.
Wu Lirong is not dead yet!
Standing up slowly, she was furious at the moment, but extremely calm.
He can still maintain his disguise after death, and even she can't tell the clues. Such a superb disguise technique doesn't look like something from the martial arts world at all, but like the true spiritual world!
She, Wu Lirong, is actually related to the real spirit world
Half an hour later, the sky was half dyed with red clouds. Su Li came down from the mountain. Dongfang Rui quickly put a thick cloak on Su Li, "Butler Wu just said that the wind is blowing on the mountain. Wear more clothes to be careful of catching cold."
Su Li hummed softly and stepped into the carriage. She did not tell Dongfang Rui about Wu Lirong. In order to avenge his mother, he had made Dongfang Xiao unhappy and made the Wu family regard him as an enemy. He should not act rashly again in a short period of time. The remaining She did it herself.
Seeing Su Li getting on the bus obediently and with an even gentler attitude than before, Dongfang Rui grinned contentedly, got on the bus and left.
At the same time, in the vast area of ordinary houses in Yunjing City, Wu Lirong carefully opened the door and walked in. There was only a small oil lamp lit in the dim room, and the flickering light made the figure look extremely scary. When Wu Lirong saw the shadow enlarged under the light, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and closed the door.
But at this moment, a voice as cold as ice sounded faintly, "Wu Lirong, I risked exposure to let you escape. Shouldn't you also fulfill your promise and help me find Ning Qing's whereabouts?"
At this moment, goosebumps appeared on Wu Lirong's back, as if she was being targeted by a poisonous snake in the dark and would be killed in the next moment.
A layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, she slowly turned around and said with a smile: "The master is joking. You also know that I am in a bad situation now. How can I just send someone to find out the news? Why don't you wait a few more days? Wait for this period of time The limelight has passed..."
call!
A three-foot green blade flew past Wu Lirong's neck at lightning speed and nailed the wooden door behind her, making a buzzing sound.
"Ah!"
Wu Lirong was so frightened that her face turned pale, she covered her neck and screamed. Suddenly something flew over and stuffed her mouth tightly. It was a steamed bun.
"If you really want to die, just keep shouting!"
