The setting sun was beside the intestines, and the horse was beside.
Wu Suijun glanced at the old and the young in the family and finally fixed his eyes on Wu Jin. Without saying anything, he mounted the horse and left, stirring up the dust.
Wu Jin took a deep breath, and his eyes were full of vigor. When his father came back, he would let his father know that he was capable enough to protect the entire Wu Family!
With Wu Suijun, the pillar of the family, going to the border, the prosperous Wu Family was completely silent.
Although Wu Suijun was still a senior official of the third level, everyone could see that Dongfang Xiao wanted to suppress him in the court that day. Therefore, he didn't dare to have any contact with the Wu Family. The siblings of the Wu Family, who used to be arrogant outside, also disappeared, which made people sigh.
…
Dozens of miles along the official road in the east of Yunjing City, there was an osmanthus forest. At this moment, the osmanthus flowers were just in full bloom, but Su Li could still smell the faint fragrance of osmanthus from a distance.
The carriage drove down the official road and went deep along the path in the osmanthus forest. A huge yard gradually came into view without the cover of the woods.
Arriving here, Su Li found that Dongfang Rui beside her didn't say a word.
Squeak —
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the yard. Wu Bin jumped off the carriage and immediately took down the wooden ladder on the side of the carriage board. Then he lifted the curtain and said, "Master, Miss, here we are."
After the incident of the Wu Family, Dongfang Rui once again asked Su Li to recognize her ancestors and return to the family. Su Li only replied one sentence, which made Dongfang Rui speechless.
"My surname is Su."
But this time, Su Li didn't resist Wu Bin's address.
Wu Bin was a little happy when he heard that. He quickly signaled Dongfang Rui with his eyes. Dongfang Rui came back from the long memory. He hesitated and said, "Li, go in and have a look. This is the yard I built for your mother."
Su Li glanced at Wu Bin and then silently pushed the door open and walked in.
Wu Bin was excited at once. He whispered to Dongfang Rui, "Master, you see, Miss has gradually accepted you now. You should be happy." Dongfang Rui nodded.
Dongfang Rui was slightly refreshed, but he smiled bitterly. For more than a decade, he had never been to the yard. There were too many memories between him and Yun.
Only Su Li's appearance made him pluck up the courage to step in again.
When she pushed the door open, the smell of camphor fragrant wood came to her face, which calmed her slightly fluctuating state of mind.
The courtyard wasn't very big, but the layout was ingenious and unique. This place was different from Prince Rui's Residence as it was filled with the gentleness of a woman, which made her feel very comfortable.
It was designed by Niang.
Her palm stroked the rockery and grass as she walked along the winding path. Her expression became even more calm, and the evil aura that remained in her heart from the slaughter of a few nights ago had completely vanished at this moment.
It was obvious that someone had specially cleaned this place. Not a speck of dust could be seen, yet the courtyard's original appearance was maintained. The person who cleaned the courtyard was very attentive.
With this thought in mind, Su Li gently pushed open the door of the room. A cold breath came in. The furniture in the room was of the style of more than ten years ago, but they were all wiped clean as new. She touched the desk and sat down gently.
Didn't Mother also sit here every night and study diligently every day?
Suddenly, Su Li saw the clothes folded beside the pillow on the bed. She got up and walked over, picking them up and unfolding them.
It was a silk dress for babies. Mother probably didn't know that she was pregnant at that time, but had already prepared the clothes and looked forward to her arrival?
Su Li held the silk dress and fell into a daze. In her mind, a woman with a vague face sat on the edge of the bed, folding the clothes and looking forward to it.
Unknowingly, tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto her clothes.
It turned out that her existence had been so carefully held in the heart of this woman and cared for and yearned for.
"Mother …"
Su Li tried to speak, and her hoarse voice echoed in the cold room, as if someone was responding.
"Miss, the incense and candles are ready." Suddenly, Wu Bin's voice came from outside the door. Su Li came to her sense, dried her tears and went out.
This place was the courtyard built by her father for her mother, and now it was also the location of her mother's grave.
Following Wu Bin to go up the mountain from the back of the courtyard, Su Li saw a low slope and the lonely figure of Dongfang Rui on an extremely open hilltop.
Su Li narrowed her eyes and walked to the grave. She saw the words on the tombstone.
"The Tomb of the Deceased Wife, Su Yun." She wrote, "Established by her husband, Dongfang Rui."
It was a very simple tombstone. There was no epitaph to record Su Yun's life, and there was no special stone tablet.
"Your mother likes to be simple. If I make it complicated, she will definitely blame me."
Dongfang Rui took a deep breath and pretended to be relaxed. He sighed and said, "I wanted to let your mother enter the imperial mausoleum, but the Empress Dowager was still alive at that time. I couldn't resist, so I could only bury your mother here. Later, when I thought about it, maybe it was your mother's intention. The tomb of the Dongfang Family was a little dirty for her. "
Su Li looked back at Wu Bin, who stood far away and didn't intend to come over. She couldn't help but sigh. She took the incense and candles and lit them. She walked a few steps forward and knelt down without hesitation. She inserted the burning incense into the soft soil and cleaned the dust on the tombstone with one hand.
"In front of me, you don't have to pretend to be strong."
Hearing his daughter's plain words, Dongfang Rui's eyes were wet at once. His tone was slightly trembling, "Your mother will definitely say that you are weak again. Forget it …"
When he came here every year, he couldn't help but cry like a dog. This time was not a big deal.
Dongfang Rui took a deep breath and took the wrapped head. He uncovered the white cloth and put it in front of the tombstone. He was happy and said, "Yun, I did it. I found my daughter. The enemy has been beheaded. You can rest in peace in heaven."
The wind caressed his face like a soft sigh, whispering in his ear.
Su Li tidied up the weeds on the edge of the tomb. She straightened up and looked down the mountain. The osmanthus forest was full of beautiful scenery.
She suddenly felt relaxed. At least when her mother was alive, she had a very happy time. There was a man who loved her deeply. Her mother didn't live in vain. Now she saw her father and herself together. She would be very happy in another world.
After a long silence, Su Li turned around and said, "Lord Rui, let me stay with my mother for a while."
Dongfang Rui was disappointed when he heard that. But he still said with concern, "It's late. I will wait for you at the foot of the mountain for two hours. Talk to your mother."
"OK."
Seeing that Dongfang Rui turned around and left, the proprietress hiding in the grass was about to follow him immediately. But she was stopped by Xuan Jingzhou, who transmitted the sound immediately.
"Now that things have come to this, you still refuse to come to your senses? Even if you don't care about what Dongfang Rui did, what about Yun? If you kill him, will Yun be happy? What should Li do? "
The proprietress was slightly shocked. She felt extremely complicated and blamed herself. After a long time, she suddenly loosened her grip as if she had lost all her strength. Then she walked down the mountain.
"Let's go. I don't have the face to see Li."
She had always been very clear in her heart that if she had been able to rush over a little faster that year, Yun 'er might … not have died.
After Dongfang Rui left, there was only Su Li and a head beside the tombstone.
Su Li gently stroked the tombstone, as if she was stroking her mother's cheek.
"Mother, I always know that he doesn't owe you anything. He hasn't married in these years and has been looking for me in the world. But how can I call him "Dad"? "
She still remembered that she poisoned Dongfang Rui in the previous life. She watched the man fall down and spit out black blood. She was happy and ferocious!
Then Su Zipei appeared quietly and told the truth. Dongfang Rui died with everlasting regret. The disbelief and remorse in his eyes never disappeared in her mind.
How could such a terrible sin be completely forgotten just because he wanted to start all over again?
"You and I are so sinful that we can only die tragically. I will wait for you in the underground, ha-ha-ha …"
Ye Tian's words before her death suddenly came to her ears. Su Li's eyes were filled with tears. She sat beside the tombstone and slowly held her arms.
At this moment, she was no longer a wise woman who could devise strategies, nor was she the calm "Ms. Li" who controlled all the situations. She was just a sixteen-year-old girl who had no one to talk about her guilt.
The mountain wind blew and made the white cloth of the head rustle. Finally, the head fell to one side and rolled to Su Li's feet.
Su Li raised her head and stared at the head for a long time.
Suddenly, she frowned slightly and noticed the abnormality. Then the golden light condensed in her eyes. In Su Li's eyes, Wu Lirong's face suddenly melted and twisted for a few seconds. Then, it turned into another face.
She was not Wu Lirong!
Su Li's expression turned cold instantly. Her anger triggered her cultivation. Her black hair danced wildly in the wind and forest.
In a rage, she smashed the head with one palm. Blood rained all over the sky.
Wu Lirong was not dead yet!
She stood up slowly. At this moment, she was furious but extremely calm.
She could still maintain her disguise after death. Even she couldn't see the clue. Such a brilliant disguise skill was not like something in the martial arts circle at all. Instead, it was like the spiritual circle!
Did Wu Lirong have something to do with the spiritual circle?
An hour later, half of the sky was dyed with red clouds. Su Li came down from the mountain. Dongfang Rui quickly took a thick cloak and put it on Su Li. He said, "Butler Wu just said that it was windy on the mountain. Wear more clothes in case of catching a cold."
Su Li nodded slightly and stepped into the carriage. She didn't tell Dongfang Rui about Wu Lirong. In order to avenge her mother, she had made Dongfang Xiao unhappy and the Wu Family regarded her as an enemy. It was inappropriate for her to act rashly in a short time. She could handle the rest by herself.
Seeing that Su Li obediently got on the carriage with a gentler attitude than before, Dongfang Rui grinned contentedly and followed her to get on the carriage.
At the same time, in an ordinary house in Yunjing City, Wu Lirong cautiously pushed open the door and walked in. There was only a small oil lamp in the dim room. The shadow under the flickering light looked extremely terrible. Wu Lirong saw the enlarged shadow under the light and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and closed the door.
But at this moment, a cold voice sounded faintly, "Wu Lirong, I took the risk of being exposed to let you escape. Should you fulfill your promise and help me find the whereabouts of Ning Qing?"
At this moment, Wu Lirong had goosebumps on her back. It seemed that she was stared at by a poisonous snake in the dark and would die in the next moment.
There was a layer of cold sweat on her forehead. She slowly turned around and smiled apologetically, "Senior, you must be joking. You also know that I am in a bad situation now. How can I casually send someone to inquire about the news? Why don't you wait for a few more days? After this period of time, when the limelight is over … "
Whoosh!
A three-foot-long sword flew over Wu Lirong's neck at a lightning speed and nailed to the wooden door behind her. It buzzed.
"Ah ah ah!"
Wu Lirong was so scared that her face turned pale. She covered her neck and screamed. Suddenly, another thing flew over and blocked her mouth. It was a steamed bun.
