Since the topic had been brought up to this point, Wen Yu had no choice but to speak. He calmly glanced at the calm Su Ziluo before replying to Lord Li's question. "I won't hide it from Lord Li. On the way to the Southern Fortress, there was indeed an accident. Did I offend anyone? As soon as I entered the Nansai Desert, I was ambushed and had no choice but to take a detour in the desert. I almost lost my life. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to survive.
On the way back with Prince Jing An, we encountered a group of black-clothed men. They almost destroyed Prince Jing An's body. I also almost lost my life to their swords, so there were many twists and turns along the way, which delayed us. "
After hearing this, Lord Li frowned deeply and said with some surprise, "Oh, such a thing actually happened? Do you know who did it?"
"We're still investigating."
"The black-clothed man tried to take your life time and time again. I think the grudge between you two runs deep." Perhaps! Wen Yu sneered and shifted her gaze to Su Ziluo. She wanted to see what his expression was. However, what responded to him was still a calm and emotionless face. Wen Yu asked, "Why did Brother Su listen to me?"
It doesn't seem to have any reaction. "
His tone was filled with innuendo!
Wen Che glanced at Wen Yu, signaling him not to speak carelessly.
However, Wen Yu's heart was filled with rage. She only wanted to find out if Su Ziluo was the mastermind behind the assassination attempt. She could not care less about her brother's warning glare. Faced with Wen Yu's sudden question, Su Ziluo indifferently replied, "Right now, I already have a lot of problems to deal with. How can I have the mind to care about others? Could it be that my surprise will help Lord Wen find a way out?"
Assassin? "
Ugh!
In the end, he was a person whose brain was filled with ink. Wen Yu did not know what to say when she asked such a question.
The hatred and anger in his heart surged, but he had nowhere to vent it. Clearly … clearly, the assassin was sitting right in front of him, but he was powerless to do anything. That kind of feeling was like being on the tip of a knife and in a frying pan.
Seeing this, Wen Che hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said, "Forget it, let's not bring up this matter again. We're here to celebrate Lord Li's birthday today, and we can deal with other matters in detail after we return."
This matter was dropped.
This small talk also ended after the time of three cups of tea!
Su Ziluo was sitting on the ground. When he got up, he said to the Wen brothers, "I will have to trouble the two Wen brothers to help me."
Wen Che and Wen Yu kindly helped him to sit in the wheelchair.
"Thank you!"
Wen Yu said, "No need. It's just that Brother Su's leg is injured, you have to be careful."
There was a hint of meaning in his words.
Su Ziluo pretended not to understand, but his expression remained gentle. "Many thanks for Brother Wen's reminder."
The three of them temporarily bade farewell to Lord Li and left …
After they left, an elderly man came in to tidy up the tea set. He leaned over the table and said, "Master, why do you need to meddle in the affairs of the Wen and the Su families? You are enjoying yourself in the manor house now. Isn't it better to have your hands free?"
Lord Li glanced at him and poured himself a cup of tea. He smiled and said in a deep voice, "Only when two tigers fight can the situation in the imperial court be balanced!"
…
Qi 'er, who had been waiting outside, pushed Su Ziluo's wheelchair as soon as he came out. The Wen brothers stood beside him. The three of them lived in the west wing, but they lived in different courtyards. Along the way, Su Ziluo looked straight ahead and said, "Brothers Wen, on the way up the mountain, my horse's temper was too bad. It refused to move a single step forward and delayed everyone's time. Your Wen family's carriage was in my horse's carriage, right?
The back of the carriage must have been affected, right? I hope you won't take it to heart and forgive me. "
He deliberately brought up the matter.
Wen Che and Wen Yu, who were walking a bit behind, suddenly had their expressions sink. Why did he bring up their sore spot?
Just as Wen Yu was about to say something, Wen Che pulled him back and said, "Brother Su, what are you talking about? It's just a beast, what's there to take it to heart?"
His words were clearly implying that Su Ziluo was a beast! Su Ziluo was not angry and only said, "That's right, a beast is a beast in the end. There is no need to bicker with a beast. I was too narrow-minded in thinking of you two, but I'm afraid the same thing will happen when we descend the mountain in two days. Therefore, when the time comes,
When the time comes, it will be better for me to walk at the back, lest the others fear me and don't come forward to urge us. That would be my mistake. "
"…"
What a sharp-tongued mouth!
Qi 'er had pushed him to the entrance of the courtyard where he was staying.
Su Ziluo said, "I'm here, would you two like to come in and sit?"
Wen Che said, "Many thanks for Brother Su's kind intentions, but I see that you are a bit sleepy, so I won't disturb you."
"Very well, we will stay here for two days anyway, so we will have the opportunity to drink tea and chat."
"Then I won't send you in!"
Su Ziluo smiled, then Qi 'er pushed him inside.
The faces of the Wen brothers darkened as they watched him enter the room.
"Brother, you heard what he said! All of these were done by him. "
"So?"
"We can't give up!"
Wen Che glanced at Wen Yu before walking away. "You shouldn't have said those words in front of Su Ziluo."
Wen Yu caught up two steps and said, "Why shouldn't I? Could it be that you know it's him, but you're pretending not to know? " "Right now, neither you nor I have any proof. Moreover, your words have no proof. Moreover, your words were full of innuendo. Su Ziluo is smart enough to understand your meaning. Official Li also understands your meaning. Think about it.
If Su Ziluo had the heart,
Or perhaps Lord Li has the intention, and when the time comes, do you think you can get away with it? "
Although what he said was reasonable.
However, in Wen Yu's opinion, her Big Brother's worries were groundless!
He had almost lost his life twice. How could he still be rational?
There was only one thought in his mind, and that was revenge!
He had to think of a way to expose Su Ziluo's evil deeds and seek justice for himself. "Big Brother, I usually listen to you. I know I have to be careful, but you are too overcautious. The more you act like this, the more fearful you become. You will only boost Su Ziluo's prestige and make him even more unscrupulous. Forgive me for not being able to listen to you this time.
I'll listen to you. If there's a chance, I'll definitely take revenge for these few swords on my body! "With that said, he quickly walked away.
"Ah Yu …" As Wen Che called out to him, he also grabbed his arm. But Wen Yu struggled to shake him off. His face was extremely dark as he growled in a low voice, "I know you still care about your friendship with Su Ziluo. But Big Brother, look at the facts in front of you. Su Ziluo is no longer the Su Ziluo of the past.
What he wants now is the life of our Wen family. "
