"Sir, Lian Sheng was injured and is recuperating in the mansion, so he sent me here." Secret guard Ah Jiu said with his fists clasped.
Chu Jihan's heart sank. It seemed that something happened to Lian Sheng and the others, and there were quite a few people involved. If Ying Jiu could come over, it could be seen that something happened to the few people who usually appeared in front of people.
"Let's go back to the Lu family first. Thank you, Brother Shen Bai. Thank you Miss Su for saving your life." Chu Jihan said politely. He had many things to ask Ah Jiu, but this was not the place to talk, so he had better go back first. .
"Young master Ji, there is no need to be polite. It's just a little effort. Be careful when you go back. I heard that the officers and soldiers in the city are very strict about checking." Su Ningxin warned.
[Hahaha, I finally left. I don’t feel comfortable doing anything with a hot potato around me. You must not get caught. If you are caught, don’t tell me that you came from my place, so as not to implicate me.]
Chu Jihan: "..." He knew that this woman wouldn't care about him.
"Let's go." Chu Jihan said angrily, with a cold tone.
Su Ningxin glared at him secretly, "Are you sick? Why are you so angry?"
[You are so arrogant, I can just save your life, and then kill you in the blink of an eye... Is this what humans do by burning down bridges across rivers?]
Chu Jihan felt like his old blood was about to spurt out. He was really in trouble now and couldn't express it. It was obviously the other party who disliked him first, so why did he become ungrateful
What's even more irritating is that these are the thoughts in the other person's mind, and he can't say them out at all, or even explain them. It's so annoying.
There was no other way, so Chu Jihan could only slow down his tone and said, "I'll take my leave then. Take care, Miss Su."
He turned around and glared at Ah Jiu, "You idiot, what are you doing standing there in such a daze?"
The tone was colder than before, in order to make Su Ningxin think that she was angry with Ah Jiu just now. As for why Chu Jihan did this, he probably didn't want to get a reputation of being ungrateful.
Ah Jiu looked at the three people present in confusion, wondering what he had done wrong. If he were to know the truth, he would probably draw circles in the corner with anger.
It is impossible to resist, not even in this life.
Chu Jihan was carried on a stretcher by Ajiu and Shuangbai, and they planned to carry Chu Jihan back on a stretcher at night.
Although Chu Jihan is not light for a big man, it is not a problem for two secret guards with high martial arts skills. As long as they cooperate well, it is no problem to carry the eaves and walk over the walls.
The two of them carried Chu Jihan to the foot of the wall. Chu Jihan looked at Su Ningxin who came to see him off, "Miss Su, thank you for helping me heal my wounds. I don't know how to replenish my body. I'll send you some money another day, miss." Buy yourself some supplements.”
"It's just a piece of cake to save you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't stand by and watch. No money is needed." Su Ningxin responded softly with a smile on her face.
Ah Jiu on the side was stunned. Among the women he had seen, this girl Su was considered the most beautiful. Most of the women with stunning looks had their own styles, and they were indistinguishable.
But Miss Su is not only dignified and generous, but also has a rare chivalrous spirit that outshines other beautiful women.
Chu Jihan looked at Ah Jiu and couldn't help but kick him with his good leg, "Let's go."
This woman is greedy for money! Chu Jihan complained unhappily in his heart. Don't think he didn't notice that the other party's eyes lit up when he heard the money, just like his own hound when he saw the bones.
After seeing Chu Jihan off, Su Ningxin happily told Shuanghua to ask the kitchen staff to prepare a small glutinous rice dumpling, and then tidied up the bedding.
Every time Su Ningxin is happy, she will eat a small glutinous rice dumpling to celebrate. Although it is late at night, she does not have to worry about the kitchen being empty, because her small kitchen is open day and night. Everyone takes turns in the kitchen, and there is no need to worry about not having enough staff.
After a good night's sleep, Su Ningxin got up and stretched out. Sure enough, the bed was still comfortable. She was so kind, so she should let Ji Chu sleep on the imperial concubine's bed.
Hearing the movement in the house, there was a very light knock on the door, accompanied by voices that could not be heard unless you listened carefully, "Is the girl awake?"
It was Shuanghua's voice. It was always like this when calling the master to get up in the palace, so Shuanghua and Shuangbai were also used to it after leaving the palace.
"I'm awake, come in." Su Ningxin shouted outside.
Shuanghua walked in, followed by Xiaoan who was carrying toiletries. It was estimated that Shuangbai came back very late last night and was still awake.
Su Ningxin just glanced at it, then got up and started to get dressed. Even though she had lived here for many years, she was still not used to others dressing herself. Unless it was too cumbersome, she would not wear it.
Shuanghua, who was handing her clothes at the side, said, "Girl, Miss Ten came here early in the morning and is waiting in the flower hall now."
"Miss Ten?" There were so many sisters that Su Ningxin didn't know who it was. She recalled it and finally figured it out, "Su Wanxin?"
Su Wanxin is Aunt Mo's daughter, the one who bribed the little maid to poison herself and was later sent to Zhuangzi.
"Why did she come to me?" Su Ningxin asked with a frown.
Shuang Hua said, "It is said that Aunt Mo's illness has recovered. The tenth girl begged the master several times but he did not agree to let Aunt Mo come back. A few days ago, she went to the nunnery to send a letter to the old lady saying that she should go to the nunnery to fulfill her filial piety, but the old lady refused I refused on the grounds that the nunnery was austere and unsuitable for a young girl.”
Su Ningxin smiled while buttoning her buttons, "She has no choice, so she wants me to plead for her? Does she not know what Aunt Mo did? Or does she think I don't know what Aunt Mo did?"
The two maids in the room did not answer. This kind of question was not something they could answer. If they spoke, they would be influencing their master's thoughts. A servant is a servant. Only those who know their duties can live long.
Su Ningxin didn't expect them to answer, but she just said it later.
After washing, she went to the dressing table and worked hard to make herself look pale and seriously ill. Then she told Shuanghua to let Su Wanxin in.
Su Wanxin was led into the house by Shuanghua, and she was shocked when she saw Su Ningxin. She knew that this eldest sister was poisoned and lingering on the sick bed, but she didn't expect that she was so seriously ill, and it seemed like she didn't have much time left.
It's really sad to think about how beautiful this eldest sister and Hairi were when they were young, but now they have ended up like this.
Su Wanxin was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was being rude. She immediately lowered her head and saluted, "Sister."
Su Ningxin smiled. Although her face was pale, she had the delicate feeling of Liu Fufeng. She spoke softly and said, "How can my family be so polite? Come and sit by my bed."
