However, this was not the time to talk. Du Suxi withdrew her gaze and motioned for Zhong Lingxi and others to gather in the backyard. When Du Suxi looked up in that dim direction again, the figure had suddenly disappeared.
What the hell is he doing when he comes back today? Du Suxi frowned, suppressed the doubts in her heart, and walked towards her small courtyard. Those princes and grandsons wanted to watch the fun, and the secret guards Murong Fu left for her were definitely not vegetarians.
Zhong Lingxi listened to the noise in the front hall and looked at Du Suxi's peaceful appearance. Finally, a big stone fell in her heart, and she looked at Du Suxi and joked.
"Young Master, you are finally back. Your return may have caused a storm in the whole city. Sister Qingzhuang and I are probably not as good as the Young Master."
Du Suxi glared at her fiercely and said. "Fuck you, if you don't wear Shangjia Wa for three days, you dare to make fun of me!"
Zhong Lingxi's personality was more lively after all. Qingzhuang stepped forward, but her eyes were full of worry.
"Miss, what are you doing in the residence of His Highness the Third Prince these days? His Highness sent a message saying that you are busy these days and asked us not to disturb you. But Miss, you have disappeared for such a long time, why didn't you tell Qingzhuang in advance? Say?"
No wonder these people were all calm when I came back, they were just surprised. It seemed that He Lianheng had already helped him deal with it a bit. Not bad, not bad. He Lianheng did a good job. Hehehe smiled, and Du Suxi didn't forget to give him a smile. Xiao Taohua, who knew the truth, dropped a look and signaled Xiao Taohua not to betray herself.
Seeing the questioning glances from Qingzhuang and others, Du Suxi gritted her teeth and began to lie. "What I did this time was a bit urgent and hidden, so I didn't explain it to you. Let you worry. Don't worry, I will be fine."
The smile on her lips was a bitter smile in her heart, could it not be urgent? He was taken away so suddenly, and he had no room to resist. How could he not hide? After surviving half a month in the barren valley, she felt like her days were like years. But for all this, Du Suxi could only knock out her teeth and swallow blood, and swallowed it all in one breath.
After a few more pleasantries, Du Suxi spoke seriously.
"By the way, have you guys seen Shen Mu recently?"
Zhong Lingxi frowned, thought for a while, and then said in confusion. "Who is Shen Mu that the young master is talking about?"
Well... I forgot that Zhong Lingxi had never met Shen Mu before. When Shen Mu left, Zhong Lingxi had just moved in. It was very boring. The two had not even met each other...
Du Suxi looked hopefully at Qingzhuang, hoping to get some valuable clues.
Under Du Suxi's strong expectation, Qingzhuang's face showed a hint of blush, and she spoke awkwardly. "These days, Matchmaker and Lingxi have been handling matters in the front office. I, apart from going on stage, I have nothing to do with this aspect..."
Well, I met a hands-off shopkeeper. Xiao Taohua had never seen Shen Mu before, so it was useless to ask. It seemed that she could only ask the secret guards left behind by Murong Fu. However, even if they had never seen Shen Mu, There are many people who have met Shen Mu in her Moshang Xiangfang. If Shen Mu is willing to show up, none of them will know. It seems that this Shen Mu is not willing to show up. Since he didn't want to appear, he let her see him.
Du Suxi laughed dumbly, already thinking about it in her mind.
With the excuse of being tired, Du Suxi drove everyone away. It was already late at night and no one suspected that he was leaving.
The room suddenly became quiet. Fortunately, although Du Suxi didn't come back for half a month, Qingzhuang also came back to clean the room every day. Therefore, everything in the room was very clean. In comparison, Du Suxi looked a little dirty. Feeling embarrassed, he took out the bronze mirror and looked at it. He looked shabby and shivering. Since the "Second Young Master" had taken a liking to him like this, he thought he would be drunk and indiscriminate.
Ask someone to bring the bath water. During the half month in Buzhou Mountain, Du Suxi used the hot water in the cold lake to bathe every day. Somehow, whether it was a psychological effect or something really mysterious, Du Suxi felt that this body His physical condition has improved a bit. Later, I gradually boldly tried taking a bath in the cold lake several times, and the effect was even more obvious.
Du Suxi vaguely had a bold guess. Maybe there was something in the cold lake that could improve physical fitness. As for why Helian Kuang couldn't feel it, Du Suxi thought about it and came up with a reasonable explanation. , since ancient times
It is yin, and inflammation is yang. Maybe it's because He Liankuang's physique is too good.
After taking off her clothes and soaking in the hot water bucket, Du Suxi closed her eyes comfortably, enjoying the comfort of the hot water soaking her skin. After all, she had walked for a whole day today, and then came here on horseback. Needless to say, she was tired. Now, soaking in the water was very refreshing.
Shen Mu opened the window and saw this scene directly. He was suddenly startled and somewhat forgot his movements.
The moment Shen Mu opened the window, Du Suxi heard the sound and opened her eyes. Looking at each other, Shen Mu could clearly see Du Suxi gritting her teeth.
"Have you seen enough? If you have seen enough, turn your head away from me."
Although Du Suxi guessed that Shen Mu would definitely come to find her, she didn't expect that he would come so early and that he would go through the window instead of knocking on the door. What kind of idea was this! Du Suxi greeted Shen Mu secretly in her heart, and her expression became even more ugly as she put on her clothes before speaking.
"Turn around."
Shen Mu turned around and looked at Du Suxi, but what he said was not surprising.
"I originally thought that your thin figure was the same from front to back, but I didn't expect that there is still something to behold."
"..." Du Suxi drew out her dagger without hesitation and stared at Shen Mu coldly. "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, hurry up!"
"..." Seeing that Du Suxi was serious, Shen Mu didn't dare to joke. Pretending to be serious, he looked at Du Suxi and said. "Where have you been these days? I can't find you anywhere."
Du Suxi frowned slightly. It seemed that Shen Mu didn't want to admit that it was him that day. She sneered. Du Suxi didn't have time to chat with him and said straight to the point.
"That day, I saw that masked man, it was you."
"What? What kind of masked man? Why didn't I know?" Shen Mu blinked in confusion and looked at Du Suxi pretending not to know.
He was sure in his heart that Du Suxi must not have seen his true face clearly, so he was prepared to fight to the death and refuse to admit it.
This innocent expression made Du Suxi secretly resentful, but for a moment there was no good way to prove it. With a cold snort, Du Suxi simply put the matter aside and stared at Shen Mu.
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. Let me ask you, what did you steal in the palace?"
The origin of this Shen Mu is definitely not simple! Du Suxi made up her mind to find out the result no matter what today.
Shen Mu's face, which had always been smiling and gentle, suddenly darkened, and he looked at Du Suxi with a somewhat wary look. "Du Suxi, everyone has their own secrets. Knowing too much will not do you any good."
It's a pity that Du Suxi has never been a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Seeing Shen Mu's wary gaze, Du Suxi raised her face slightly as if to argue. "Really? Then you secretly sent people to hunt down me and Helian Kuang, do you have ulterior motives? Is it also a secret?"
"I didn't even know you would be in that carriage at the time!" Shen Mu blurted out in desperation, and then he was stunned for a moment, looking at Du Suxi with a complicated expression.
Du Suxi poured a cup of tea for Shen Mu, her voice was clear and her face was calm.
"You admitted it."
"You're cheating!" Only then did Shen Mu realize that he had fallen into the trap Du Suxi had prepared for him. Frowning, he met Du Suxi's calm and persistent gaze. After a moment of silence, Shen Mu sighed, looked at Du Suxi complicatedly, and said.
"There are some things you're better off knowing."
Du Suxi sneered, looked at Shen Mu, and sneered directly.
"Because I don't know, I'm being hunted as a bandit. Because I don't know, I'm being hunted as an accomplice for no reason. In this case, Mr. Shen Mu still tells me that it's better to come. Even if it means death, it will be considered death." I understand."
"You..." Shen Mu was speechless now. Seeing Du Suxi's way of not giving up until the Yellow River, I felt a little regretful that I came to see Du Suxi.
"One day, you will understand my identity and your identity, but not now."
"Do you know my identity?" Du Suxi suddenly grasped the key point in the words, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at him very suspiciously. Although since
She has never confessed her true identity to him, but as long as she is willing, her true identity is not difficult to verify. What's more, the meaning of his words is clearly implying that there is another layer of her that even she herself doesn't know about. Identity, her intuition told her that perhaps, this unknown identity had something to do with her mother.
In fact, her guess was absolutely correct. However, Shen Mu stood up and did not answer, but looked at this frail-looking woman. Somehow, Du Suxi just looked at him so calmly, but it made him feel like he was being targeted by some kind of animal and became prey.
"I came to see you today because I have something to do."
With a smile on her face, Du Suxi slowly sipped her tea and nodded. "I know that if you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything, Master Shen Mu, as a big man, will naturally not have time to drink tea and chat with a little girl."
"..." Shen Mu was speechless again. Looking at the sharp-tongued Du Suxi, she thought that she might not be able to stay longer. He spoke immediately.
"If you want to know your own identity, just leave here with me. I will take you to a place to let you understand who you really are."
"Who am I?" Du Suxi narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking that what Shen Mu said was a bit funny. How could she not know who she was
Shen Mu nodded, such a cynical person actually had a somewhat solemn look on his face. "If you want to see your biological mother, just follow me and leave."
Du Suxi raised her eyebrows, looked at Shen Mu, and spoke in revenge. "Looking at you, you look like my mother's favorite boy."
Shen Mu's face darkened, and he gave Du Suxi the word "Go" in a very manic and domineering manner. Then he emphasized. "Your identity is not as simple as you think. If you come back with me, you will definitely be able to meet your biological mother."
Du Suxi continued to remain calm. "Really? Not interested."
Although the biological mother of this body is important, for her, it is just a curiosity, and it does not make her have the urge to leave without understanding any reason. If it were the original mother of this body, she might not care about it. She agreed to leave, but it was her Dusha who was using this body now, not Du Suxi. Things are different and people have different natural choices. She still has a lot of things to do.
"Why are you not interested?" It was Shen Mu's turn to be surprised. He couldn't understand why Du Suxi didn't pay attention to the news.
No matter how Shen Mu tried to hit Du Suxi from then on, Du Suxi always responded lightly, or calmly changed the topic and asked about Shen Mu's identity in various ways. Time passed slowly, and the chickens outside began to crow, and a bit of light appeared in the dark sky.
It was almost dawn.
Shen Mu raised his head and looked out the window with the faint morning light. Gritting his teeth, Shen Mu looked helplessly at the stubborn woman in front of him and had to give up.
"I'm leaving. Du Suxi, I will give you three months at most. After three months, whether you are willing or not, you must go back. You have your mission."
Du Suxi calmly took a sip of tea. The morning light began to appear, and Du Suxi felt a chill on her body.
"Really? Shen Mu, you still have no way to order me. Moreover, you left me without saying goodbye and asked me to take all the risks for you. This matter is already regarded as your sorry for me. Secondly, not long ago you chased and killed He Lian Kuang, although it was not your intention, I was innocently implicated by you and almost died in Buzhou Mountain. These two things are enough to offset the two things I promised you. On the contrary, now you still owe me a piece of Yi The art of appearance.”
“…”
Shen Mu was startled, looking at Du Suxi in front of him, a rare flash of guilt flashed across his face. He was indeed a little sorry for Du Suxi. Two life-threatening dangers can indeed be offset. He no longer had any trump card to use her.
Shen Mu spoke again, put away his careless expression, and became serious.
"I can give you the art of disguise, but after three months, you must leave with me."
Du Suxi didn't answer him, her eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Shen Mu intently and asked.
"What exactly did you steal in the palace?"
Shen Mu's Jun blushed and emphasized.
"That's not stealing, it's just taking a more expensive stone."
“…”
Du Suxi could already roughly guess what the precious stone could be placed in the royal study.
