As night falls, the hustle and bustle of the day on Kyoto's Chengxi Street gradually fades away. The pedestrians coming and going became hurried, and the stall owner on the roadside, after finishing his last business, shouted briskly: "Pack your things and get ready to go home!" With a relaxed and happy smile on his face, he seemed to have mentioned At the word "go home", a whole day's hard work disappears.
Li Su stared blankly at their departing figures. He was really happy to have a home to return to! The tragic face of the mother-in-law before she died appeared before her eyes again. The suffocating grief hit her heart again. It was difficult for her to breathe, and tears poured into her eyes uncontrollably. She raised her head, letting her vision blur, but stubbornly refused to let the tears flow down.
The Regent's Mansion, there is no going back! As Li Su, there is no way out. She wants to investigate the truth behind her murder. Now, she can only use Su Li's identity. But Su Li has been accused of elopement. How can she return to the prime minister's house
Li Su closed his heated eyes, and suddenly a voice came from behind: "Drive!"
A two-wheeled carriage was speeding toward us. The sapphire blue embroidered curtains were exquisitely crafted. At first glance, it looked like it was not an ordinary home. Li Su was stunned for a moment and had no time to give way. The driver could only pull the reins urgently, and the horse neighed loudly and finally stopped behind her.
The driver said angrily: "You don't want your life? Get out of the way!"
"Young boy!"
A slight scolding came from inside the car, gentle and sweet. The car curtain opened and a young man stepped out. He is in his early twenties, dressed in cloud-gray brocade clothes with moire patterns, and a hollow jade crown on his head. His handsome face has a slight smile, like the spring breeze blowing on his face, and as gentle as jade, making people want to get close to him for no reason.
When he saw her, he was stunned and called out in surprise and uncertainty: "Susu?"
Li Su was shocked, did this person know her? No, no one has ever called her Susu by her nickname except her parents. Looking at the person in front of him carefully, his eyes were gentle and surprised, not malicious at all, but full of sincere care.
The young boy driving the carriage glanced at her curiously and said doubtfully: "Second young lady? They are very similar, but the second young lady never leaves the house!"
Second lady! Li Su came to his senses immediately and subconsciously touched his face. The black ash on his left cheek was immediately wiped away, and the red birthmark that had been covered up was immediately revealed.
. The young master immediately stepped forward, grabbed her and asked in surprise: "Susu, is it really you?! Why are you here?"
Li Su lowered his eyelashes and did not answer. It turned out that this person was Su Xiangru's eldest son and Su Li's brother Su Chun. I just didn't expect that Su Li not only had similar facial features to hers, but even her nickname was exactly the same!
It is said that Su Chun is gentle and upright. He has been very smart since he was a child, and was noticed by the emperor and empress at the same time. He was called into the palace to read to the princes. He won the gold medal at the age of eighteen, and was appointed to the Hanlin Academy at the age of twenty. He is now a third-rank official and has a high status in the prime minister's palace. He is one of the most noble sons in Kyoto.
Meeting him when she was at a loss and had no other choice was perhaps an opportunity given to her by God.
He immediately pulled her into the carriage: "Come home with me quickly. Why did you run out alone? How dangerous! Where are Wan Xin and Mo Xiang?" His tone was completely caring, without a trace of blame.
Li Su suddenly felt a warmth in her heart. From being wrongly accused and killed to being reborn as Su Li, this was the first time she met someone who truly cared about her. She couldn't help shouting gratefully: "Brother..."
Su Chun gently stroked her hair and said softly: "You haven't answered yet, brother, what happened?"
Li Su lowered his head and said softly: "Brother, I... I don't want to go home."
"Why? Qin'er bullied you again?"
Li Su shook his head and didn't answer, his body gradually curled up and trembled slightly. Being able to enjoy the peace and warmth of this moment has become a luxury for her.
Su Chun frowned: "No matter what happens, come back with me first."
Li Su choked up and sobbed: "I know my eldest brother loves me, but... But my aunt and sister said that I eloped with my servants, blamed me for ruining the reputation of the prime minister's house, and wanted to drive me out... On the way, I was also beaten by two people. A thief plotted..."
"What?!" Su Chun's tone stiffened slightly! elopement! What a serious crime for a lady who has not yet left the government!
Li Su raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes, and looked at him hopefully: "I didn't. Daddy taught me to observe etiquette. How could I do that kind of thing? Brother, you must believe me!"
Su Chun sighed, looking at her with pity in his eyes, but said nothing.
Li Su gritted his teeth. It was obviously difficult for Su Chun to publicly accuse his mother.
. Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly lifted the curtain and wanted to jump out of the carriage. She smiled sadly and said, "Since eldest brother doesn't believe it, there is no point in going back for Su Su... Goodbye."
"Where are you going?" Su Chun was so frightened that he grabbed her back into the car and asked in surprise.
Li Su looked up at him, his dark eyes were like stars, filled with tears, only the light of perseverance was hidden in the depths where no one could spy.
She took a deep breath and said softly: "In this family, only the eldest brother still regards me as a relative. Now even the eldest brother doesn't believe me. It doesn't matter where I go. I don't want to embarrass the eldest brother."
The tone was full of sadness, as if he was unwilling to force others to do something difficult and endure the humiliation. Su Chun couldn't help but feel nervous. He had seen Su Li's tears countless times. He had always felt pity for her, but today he felt a little heartbroken. He quickly took her into his arms and said softly but firmly: "You are a girl, where can you go? I never thought that something like this would happen at home just half a month after I left home! Susu, just go back with me. For other things , leave it to big brother to handle it."
"Really?" Li Su looked at him in surprise.
He nodded calmly, "When you return home, just go back to your house. All you have to do is wait for your father to come back."
"Thank you, brother!" Li Su lowered his head, and a faint smile slipped across his lips.
"By the way, you just said that you were plotted by a thief. What happened?" Su Chun frowned.
Li Su hesitated for a moment and said, "My aunt asked two people to take me to Cixin Temple, but they had evil intentions. Fortunately, I met King Zhenning and he saved me."
Su Chun looked at her in surprise: "Prince Zhenning Dongfangze?" He emphasized the name Dongfangze, as if being rescued by this person was such an incredible and strange thing.
Li Su pretended to be puzzled and said, "What's wrong, brother?"
Su Chun sighed: "Dongfangze is a cold and arrogant person. He never likes to meddle in other people's business. Today he is willing to save you. It's really strange. But it's okay. You were saved by King Zhenning. I believe that my mother will not live again if she knows about it." Branches."
Li Su thought to himself that it was natural. Even if the Prime Minister's wife disliked her, she would still give face to Prince Zhenning.
