Good Romance Novel
After the servant finished speaking.
Miaoyu stopped and turned around. There was some hesitation in her eyes. After all, she hadn't been home for many years.
She wasn't sure.
Shui Yan saw that the servant didn't seem to be lying.
She asked tentatively, "Is this the Su residence?"
The servant smiled. "You've found the wrong place. This is the Liu residence. However … "The servant thought for a moment.
He continued, "My master was originally from Hangzhou and moved to Suzhou five years ago.
He settled here.
This time, he bought this residence. "
"What about the previous family?"
"Miss, you're asking the wrong person. I sold myself to the Liu residence a year ago. I don't know anything about the past. "
"Thank you."
The servant smiled shyly.
He retreated.
He closed the door.
Lin Daiyu walked to Miaoyu's side.
He comforted her. "Perhaps they moved to another place.
Let's go ask around. "
Miaoyu was silent for a moment. She shook her head and sighed. "Perhaps this is the will of the heavens.
Forget it.
Let's go back. "
Everyone got on the carriage. They didn't speak for the rest of the journey.
The atmosphere was rather heavy. Shui Yan opened the curtains and looked outside. She discovered that it wasn't the way they came.
After asking.
It turned out that under Shuijing's orders.
They still had other places to go.
The carriage stopped in front of a teahouse. They went up to the second floor. In the private room, Shuijing was already waiting.
"You must be tired. Sit down and drink a cup of tea. "Shuijing had someone return the old tea. He brought in a new pot of tea and four plates of desserts.
Shui Yan and Lin Daiyu sat down. Miaoyu never cared about the value of food. Only Zhen Yinglian hesitated. In the end, she was pulled to sit down by Shui Yan.
"Father, you should know where the young master's family is, right?" Shui Yan said with certainty. "We're about to die from anxiety. Don't play dumb with us here."
Shuijing turned his face to let them look out the window. "They're down there. You'll know when you see."
Shui Yan hurriedly rushed to the window and stuck her head out to take a look. She lost. Not counting the common people coming and going, there were also quite a few peddlers on both sides of the road. Shuiyan could not tell which one was Miaoyu's family. Turning her head, she asked, "Father, which one is it?" Seeing Miaoyu still sitting in her original place without moving, she asked again, "Young Master is not coming to take a look? Your family is down there! "
Miaoyu lowered her eyes, holding the teacup on the table, motionless.
However, Lin Daiyu stood up and walked to Shui Yan's side. He looked outside and pondered for a while. Then, he turned his head and asked, "Is it that young master who sells calligraphy and paintings down there?"
Shuijing raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Daiyu with interest. "Oh, how did you know?"
"Since Master has brought us here, the person below must be the person closest to Little Master. Currently, the young master only had one younger brother in his family. Then the one below must be his younger brother. " Lin Daiyu explained his thoughts tirelessly. "Little Master once said that her younger brother is younger than her, so we can eliminate half of them. He also grew up in a family of eunuchs, so his aura is definitely different from ordinary peddlers. After thinking about it, only that young master who sells calligraphy and paintings is the most pitiful. "
Shuijing smiled and nodded, praising Lin Daiyu for thinking it through thoroughly. "You're right, he is indeed Little Master's younger brother, Su Haoyu."
Shuijing looked at Miaoyu again. "Speaking of which, this younger brother of yours has never seen you before, right? It's a little too unbelievable to say that you have a sibling relationship. However, after what happened at Qianxiang Nunnery, he was very worried about you. "
Shuijing told Miaoyu that after all the nuns in Qianxiang Nunnery were arrested and sent to prison, Su Haoyu immediately went to the government office to bring her out. However, too many lives were involved in Qianxiang Nunnery, and the government didn't allow anyone to visit the prison, let alone rescue her. Su Haoyu immediately panicked after hearing that. He said that Miaoyu was only cultivating with her hair and was only a guest of Qianxiang Nunnery. She wasn't a nun in Qianxiang Nunnery at all.
Because the guards didn't know that Miaoyu wasn't actually in the prison, they rudely chased Su Haoyu away. Su Haoyu didn't give up. He spent money to drink with the bailiff to build a relationship. Now, after three meals, Su Haoyu asked the bailiff to take care of Miaoyu in prison. If Miaoyu lacked anything, he was to tell him immediately. Of course, there were also benefits for the guards who helped deliver things.
The guards naturally agreed, but they realized that there was no such person as Miaoyu in the prison at all. That guard couldn't bear to give up on Su Haoyu's money tree, so he made up a lie to deceive him. Su Haoyu wanted Miaoyu to have a better time in prison, so he agreed to whatever request the guards made in Miaoyu's name.
。 Now, he had already spent a lot of money.
Miaoyu was a little touched after hearing that. She looked conflicted and bit her lips. "Is he stupid? He believes everything others say. "
Shuijing nodded. "He's a little pedantic."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "He's confused because he's concerned."
Shui Yan stretched her head out to take a look again. "He does seem a little stupid. He doesn't even know how to wear warmer clothes. It looks like he's quite cold."
Miaoyu stood up when she heard that, but she didn't move from the spot. After hesitating for a long time, she walked over.
Now that the weather had turned cold, although she couldn't tell how much Su Haoyu was wearing, from the way he kept stomping his feet and rubbing his hands, his clothes should be very thin.
"Why is it like this …" Miaoyu looked puzzled.
Shuijing knew what Miaoyu was puzzled about. The Su family was a rich family back then. It could be seen from the things Miaoyu used in Qianxiang Nunnery. As the heir of the Su family, even if Su Haoyu only inherited a small part of the property, he shouldn't have ended up in such a state.
"When your parents passed away, Su Haoyu was only a nine-year-old child. Do you think he can protect the family's wealth?"
That illness came fiercely. Miaoyu's parents passed away early before they could arrange everything, leaving Su Haoyu to face a group of relatives who were like wolves and tigers. These people came with the excuse that Su Haoyu was too young and couldn't grow up alone. He needed someone to teach him by his side. Although Su Haoyu had loyal servants by his side, how could a servant teach his master? In addition, Su Haoyu was still young and didn't know anything about money. At such a young age, it was very likely that he would go astray and squander all his money or be cheated of all his money by his servants. Therefore, these people went to the Su Mansion confidently to "take care" of Su Haoyu and help him manage his money.
Su Haoyu was young and had been taught by his adoptive parents since he was young that he only knew how to "be reasonable". When he met these thick-skinned elders, he couldn't do anything at all. In just three years, the Su family's huge wealth was divided up. In the end, even the mansion was mortgaged. The reason they used was that they didn't manage it well …
Although Su Haoyu had always been wary of these relatives, the older, the wiser. How could a mere child be a match for a group of old foxes? After the Su family no longer had anything to gain, those people immediately changed their attitude and said that Su Haoyu was already 12 years old, almost 13 years old, and no longer needed to be taken care of and could be independent. Then, Su Haoyu was kicked out by them.
Because he was already prepared, Su Haoyu also had some money in his hands. Then, with the help of the old servant, he finally settled down at home. After that, he studied and prepared for the imperial examination while copying books for the bookstore or selling calligraphy and paintings to earn some money.
Lin Daiyu sighed and said, "Young Master Su … it's not easy either."
"Those relatives are the most detestable!" Shui Yan clenched her fists in righteous indignation. "Bullying the young, what kind of man are you!"
Miaoyu pursed her lips tightly and didn't say a word. Shuijing couldn't see her expression clearly from the side. He could only tell that her heart was in turmoil from the way she gripped the window frame tightly.
"Miaoyu, do you want to invite Young Master Su up for a gathering?" Lin Daiyu asked tentatively.
Miaoyu was still staring at Su Haoyu below and didn't say anything.
Lin Daiyu sighed. He knew that the knot in Miaoyu's heart was difficult to untie. Some things couldn't be rushed, so he didn't persuade her anymore.
Shui Yan suddenly made a sound of surprise. "Someone went to buy Young Master Su's calligraphy and paintings … No! He and that person came to the teahouse. Could they be friends? "
"He's that bailiff who watches the prison." Shuijing shook the teacup and looked up at Miaoyu. "He should be here today to ask for a reward. In the past, they always talked in the elegant room next to the cubicle. "
Shui Yan rolled her eyes, probably thinking of something again. Shuijing immediately dispelled her thoughts and said, "Don't think about eavesdropping. How improper is it to lean on the door and eavesdrop in public? If you want to listen, listen openly. "
Shui Yan was originally a little resentful, but when she heard the last sentence, her eyes immediately widened in surprise and she smiled. "That's good. But how are we going to eavesdrop openly? "
"Go and take down that small wooden plank on the wall."
The palm-sized wooden plank had been specially modified. From this elegant room, they could clearly hear the sounds from the next room, but the sounds from the next room couldn't be heard.
Lin Daiyu and the others quickly returned to their seats and listened to the sounds from the next room with curiosity. Even if they could only see the white wall, they couldn't help but look.
Soon, the sound of someone taking a seat could be heard. Miaoyu's body couldn't help but stiffen and her expression became serious.
"Big Brother Chai, how is my elder sister in prison now?"
"Ai … Not good. You also know the environment in prison. Even big men can't stand it, let alone a delicate little girl. "
"Then, then what should we do? Sure enough, we should think of a way to save her. "
"Young Master Su, in the current situation, it's really impossible to release your elder sister. Don't even think about it. Oh right, your elder sister said that she's not used to living with other nuns and wants to live alone in a cell. What do you think? "
"Yes, yes. When my elder sister was in Qianxiang Nunnery, she always lived alone and almost never interacted with other nuns. I actually forgot about this! I'll have to trouble Big Brother Chai to help me and help my elder sister change her cell. "
"This … You also know that the number of nuns captured from Qianxiang Nunnery is no less than ten. The prison is very tight and there are no extra cells. To let your elder sister live in a cell, even if I'm willing, the others have to be willing, right? You have to make the others shut their mouths! "
"Big Brother Chai, just tell me how much silver."
"Seeing that we're already so familiar with each other, I definitely won't refuse to help you. Forget about my share, as for the others … it'll be about a hundred taels. "
"One, a hundred taels, a hundred taels …" After hesitating for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you."
"Haha, Big Brother is really straightforward. Your elder sister is really lucky to have a younger brother like you. "
Miaoyu's expression had already become very unsightly. Hearing this, she suddenly stood up and quickly walked out. Lin Daiyu and the others were afraid that she would be taken advantage of and hurriedly followed. Shuijing also slowly stood up and followed behind.
The door wasn't locked. Miaoyu pushed hard, and the door made a loud noise and shook continuously.
The two people in the room were shocked at the same time. The officer looked at Miaoyu and said with extreme dissatisfaction, "Where did this nun come from?! How dare you come to my territory and smash the door! "
"I'm Miaoyu! The elder sister that you were talking about just now who cultivated great fortune in her previous life. " Miaoyu swept an indifferent glance at the bailiff, and her gaze finally landed on Su Haoyu. "But I feel like I have a stupid younger brother who didn't even know that he was cheated, and gave all the money that he worked so hard to earn to a liar."
"You …" Su Haoyu looked shocked.
"What about me!?" Miaoyu sneered. "You're really rich, taking out a hundred taels of silver just like that! Are you very rich? "
