Chapter 333 Su Zhe Catches Ghosts
In Yong'an Hou's Mansion.
After listening to his elder sister's words, Su Zhe secretly watched Xu Jing in the courtyard day and night.
That night, just as Lin Wanfu jumped onto the wall, Su Zhe grabbed her ankle, pulled her down and pressed her to the ground.
"Great! It's really someone pretending to be him! Tell me, what's your intention?"
Su Zhe raised his fist and was about to hit Lin Wanfu in the face.
"Don't fight! Don't fight!"
Lin Wanfu brushed away her messy hair and called out softly with a pale face,
"Brother Su, it's me! It's me!"
"???"
Under the moonlight, Su Zhe looked for a long time before he recognized that this half-human, half-ghost thing was Lin Wanfu. He said in surprise:
"Brother Lin? It's you!"
"Fourth brother! Fourth brother! Hurry and help me!" Lin Wantang struggled to lie on the top of the wall, sticking out a bloody face. When he saw the scene in the yard clearly, he was so scared that he hung on the top of the wall.
Su Zhe was shocked to see that they were the two siblings from the Lin family.
Helping Lin Wanfu up, Su Zhe asked:
"What are you doing?"
The Lin brother and sister looked at each other, and Lin Wanfu told them everything about Xu Jing instigating his sister to run away from home and hiring someone to kill someone on the way.
Lin Wanfu protected his sister behind him and said, "Brother Su, I did this. Everyone has their own responsibility. If you want to vent your anger on your cousin, just come to me. Don't embarrass my sister!"
Lin Wantang said coldly:
"Su Zhe, you caught us red-handed today. It's unlucky for both of us. But Xu Jing has committed countless evil deeds. She killed my maid Qingshuang and caused me to be stranded in the northern border. It's all her fault. To tell you the truth, I have no intention of letting her go this time! If I can't succeed this time, I will deal with her next time."
Su Zhe chuckled, gently patted the dirt on his clothes, and said:
"She is she, and I am me. Brother Lin, Miss Lin, just go ahead and take revenge and complain. I, Su Zhe, will never stop you."
Hearing him say this, the Lin brothers and sisters were surprised.
"You and Xu Jing?"
"She and I have been at odds since we were little. I can't stand her pretending to be weak in front of others, but actually having a cruel heart. Unfortunately, my mother was deceived by her and kept in the dark. I will never side with Xu Jing for doing such a thing to Miss Lin. Don't worry, I didn't show up here tonight, and I haven't seen you. You can do whatever you want, and do it as you please."
After confirming that the visitor was only targeting Xu Jing and had no hostility towards the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, Su Zhe turned around and left.
"He's a sensible man."
Lin Wanfu and Su Zhe had been together in the army for many days and had already become brothers. Su Zhe was an upright person and a brave warrior, and Lin Wanfu respected him very much.
"Xiao Wu, are we still going to act tonight?"
"Forget it! Let's go."
Lin Wantang shook her head. This interruption ruined her good mood for the night and affected her performance.
The brother and sister climbed over the wall and returned the same way they came.
The moonlight was dim as Xu Jing slowly turned around the corner of the corridor. She had slept too much during the day and was tossing and turning. Seeing the bright moonlight, she got up.
She just happened to see this scene.
"So that's how it is. You're not dead."
A trace of relief and venom crossed Xu Jing's pale, frail face. She should have known earlier, where did ghosts come from in this world? It was just that she was restless and someone took advantage of her!
"Lin Wantang, you've caused me this. I'm going to settle this account with you."
……
"What's going on? Do you know what's going on?"
That day, Su Li took Xiao Lele back to her parents' home and took some time to ask Su Zhe privately.
"Sister, this is what happened..."
Su Zhe told Su Li the whole story.
After hearing this, Su Li couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect it to be like this. She was so obsessed with climbing up the social ladder, and seeing Miss Lin standing in her way, destroying her hope of becoming the Princess of Su, she resorted to such cruel means."
"Yes! After the New Year, she will be twenty! Over the years, she has been picky and has canceled countless marriages in order to become a phoenix. Now that she has the opportunity to become the Princess of Su, she is still trying to get it! Sister, I think it is better to tell His Royal Highness the Prince of Su about this matter directly so that he can have some idea of the situation."
Su Li smiled, "Don't worry, Miss Lin won't let her go. We can even help her if necessary."
Although Su Li knew what Xu Jing did in the original book, those were things that happened after Xu Jing became the concubine of Prince Su.
Qin was indebted to Xu Jing and protected her everywhere. Before she did anything bad, Su Li really had no reason to deal with her.
"By the way, sister, I'm going to be transferred to the Imperial Guards to serve as the General of the Central Army."
The Imperial Guards were generally composed of sons of high-ranking officials. Su Zhe, the heir apparent of the Yong'an Marquisate, could have served in the Imperial Guards, though only as a minor soldier. During this Northern Expedition, he had made significant contributions, earning him a high rank upon joining the ranks.
"Why? Are you afraid of seeing Ah Ci in the camp?"
Su Li said it all in one sentence.
Su Zhe scratched his head. "That's one reason. I'm afraid Ah Ci doesn't want to see me either. Besides, there are certainly other reasons."
Su Li nodded.
She understood the other reasons without Su Zhe explaining them.
I'm afraid Pei Heng and Prince Su have already started deploying their troops and making plans for the future.
"As you accompany the king, you should be careful."
"understood."
The brother and sister were talking in private.
Outside the room, I heard the servant announce that Xu Jing was coming.
Qin was holding little Lele with a smile on her face. When she saw Xu Jing coming out with her sick body, she scolded her repeatedly:
"Oh, Jing'er, you're still sick, why don't you lie down? It's cold today, why are you out here? And you're wearing so little, what if your condition gets worse?"
As she spoke, she asked her personal maid to come forward and support her, and asked someone to bring a cloak for her to put on.
Xu Jing already looked delicate and boneless, and now that she was sick she looked even more frail and vulnerable, as if any gust of wind could blow her away. She had the aura of a sick beauty.
She glanced at Su Zhe quietly and her gaze fell on Su Li.
Even though she had just given birth, Su Li's skin was as white as snow, and her body was covered in jewels, as if it were glowing. The child in Qin's arms was even more plump and white, with two eyes that moved around, and it was obvious that he was healthy and smart.
Seeing all this, Xu Jing felt a pang of pain in her heart, and her fingernails on her clenched hands were scratching her palms.
Thinking about marrying into the Su Palace and becoming the Su Princess in the future, she finally felt better.
After finally suppressing her reluctance, she smiled faintly and said:
"Aunt, my sister came back with the child today, how could I still lie down? As her aunt, I should have come to see her. Besides, I feel much better today."
Qin Shi saw that although she was weak, her spirits had indeed improved a lot, unlike the dazed and dreamy state she had been in a while ago. She smiled and said,
"I'm glad you're well. Ah Li brought Le Le back, and today is a good time for our family to be together and have some fun together."
Turning to Su Li, he said:
"Your father has been looking forward to your return. Knowing that you would be returning home today, he specifically asked to keep you for dinner. He will be back from work early today."
He looked at Su Zhe with regret.
If Song Ci were here on such a good day, it would be perfect.
On that day, Su Li paid a visit to her father, took Lele to have dinner at her mother's house, and then returned home.
With the truce in the northern border, Shengjing City had long since returned to its former prosperity. Even at dusk, the long streets were still bustling with people, customers coming and going from street vendors, and the cries of hawkers echoed one after another, giving the city a thriving atmosphere.
The Pei Mansion's carriage was moving slowly on the street, unaware that it had been secretly watched.
In a restaurant on the street, Tuoba Rao, dressed as a Nanqi woman, stood at the window and coldly watched Su Li's carriage slowly approaching.
In the carriage, a beautiful woman with a face as pretty as a lotus was pointing at the lively scene outside the carriage with a smile, and was talking to a baby in her arms.
The loving look of mother and son made Tuoba Rao's eyes hurt.
"Is that Pei Heng's wife?"
Tuoba Rao said coldly.
A man beside him nodded, "Yes, Princess. It's her. The one in her arms is Pei Heng's biological son."
A ruthless look flashed across Tuoba Rao's eyes, and he slowly raised the sleeve arrow in his hand.
"Pei Heng, this princess gives you a greeting gift."
