Chapter 389 What is the significance of this comb between you?
Su Rou said that she had an average relationship with Shen Yao, but she saw him die in front of her with her own eyes.
She felt a little uncomfortable.
After returning to the general's mansion, Gong Yu took out the things that Shen Yao asked him to help give to Su Rou.
It was a letter and a comb.
The pattern on the comb looked familiar. Su Rou remembered that it was the comb that Shen Yao used to comb her hair before the war between the North and the South.
Only her husband can touch a woman's hair.
Even if it’s your own father, it’s not allowed.
But Su Rou didn't think so much at that time.
She was not aware of this either.
But Shen Yao knew that he had never told her or mentioned it to Su Rou.
This is Shen Yao’s own little thought.
Shen Yao's letter was placed in a bamboo tube sealed with mud, and Gong Yu had never opened it.
Gong Yu asked her, "Can I watch it with you?"
Gong Yu respected her, but at the same time he was also very curious about what Shen Yao had said.
Su Rou didn't think there was anything shameful about this, but the image of Shen Yao with bleeding nose and falling in her arms kept appearing in her eyes.
"Let me take a look at it first and then decide whether to show it to you, okay?"
Just think of it as... Su Rou protecting Shen Yao once.
Shen Yao poisoned himself, and the reunion dinner was the best opportunity.
The fake Su Rou also came from the eastern part of the desert. She was able to detoxify the poison given by Su Rou before, which shows that the fake Su Rou really has that ability.
If it was a reunion dinner, the fake Su Rou would naturally let down her guard when she saw Shen Yao eating. Besides.
It was a reunion dinner, and even the fake Su Rou would never test whether the food was poisonous in front of Shen Yao.
[Shu Rou, it’s like seeing you in person.
I actually didn't faint that night when you and Gong Yu led the troops to surround the Shen Mansion.
I heard what you said. I originally thought that I married you, but in fact that person was not you.
You may find my feelings incomprehensible, but this is what I have not said for all these years.
I like you. I have been in love with you since I was a child in the military camp. When my father met General Su, I liked you, but because of the relationship between our two families, I never dared to say it out loud.
Later, you secretly got married to Crown Prince Xie Yuan, and I became even more afraid to tell you my feelings.
But later on, for some reason, your personality suddenly changed, you became brave and resourceful, and I saw again the Su Rou who rode on horseback with General Su when she was young.
The Xiguang Marquisate rebelled a long time ago, which was a heavy blow to me, so I have been at odds with you and the people of the Su family for some time.
Your father is the powerful General Su, but my family betrayed the Northern Kingdom. You and I are now opposites. I don't know if you will hate me too...
Later, I found out that Su Chi and you were also secretly planning treason, and I felt relieved that you were on my side.
The fake Su Rou is very vigilant. Ever since she saw that you were still alive, she has been testing for poison in all the food and cakes sent to her in the mansion. If I fail, you are capable of getting rid of her.
So I'm not worried at all.
I volunteered to die for you, please remember me.]
Shen Yao had combed her hair before, so he felt something was wrong when he combed the fake Su Rou's hair later.
As a military general, Shen Yao was able to sit in the position of Left Prime Minister when he was in the Northern Kingdom, so he is naturally very sensitive.
On the night she and Gong Yu surrounded the Shen Mansion, Shen Yao was convinced that the one in the Su Mansion was not her...
Su Rou felt a tightness in her chest.
"Gong Yu, I don't plan to show you this letter."
Gong Yu was not angry and responded, "Yeah, okay."
Su Rou actually blamed Gong Yu a little. Why didn’t he give this thing to her earlier?
If she had seen this letter earlier, Su Rou felt that Shen Yao would not have died.
If Shen Yao was thinking about it because of someone else's death, then that would be fine.
But he died for himself...
Su Rou felt that Shen Yao’s death was a bit unfair.
"Knock knock" the maid stood outside the door and knocked.
It's snowing heavily outside again.
"Young Madam, Young General, the meal is ready. The old lady and the general have asked me to call you over."
Su Rou said, "I know, I'll be there in a moment."
Gong Yu's gaze was fixed on the comb in Su Rou's hand.
"What meaning does this comb have between you?"
Su Rou told him the truth about the time she spent with Shen Yao in the Northern Kingdom.
She doesn't think these are problems.
But Gong Yu was a little jealous.
"A woman's hair should not be touched by any man except her husband." As he spoke, Gong Yu's hand hooked a strand of her hair.
"Gong Yu... I've been free and unrestrained since I was little. When I was little, I chased the Crown Prince around the palace, rode on him and beat him. The Emperor and Empress would praise me for my beatings. No one dared to use rules to restrain me."
Gong Yu said, "I don't blame you, I just want to tell you, next time don't let other men touch your hair, I will be jealous."
The two of them walked together under the eaves and headed towards the front yard.
A cold wind blew over, bringing with it the snowflakes in the courtyard, which fell on her face.
Bing Bing cool.
Su Rou looked at the long corridor ahead. "It's not that I have any special feelings for Shen Yao, but I just feel a little uncomfortable. Shen Yao is a concubine's son, and concubine's sons are not favored. He relied on his own ability to sit in the position of Left Prime Minister, which made the people of the Shen family look at him differently. If he hadn't been dragged down by the Shen family, he wouldn't have ended up like this. What do you think... if the Shen family hadn't surrendered to the Southern Kingdom at that time, would Shen Yao's steps have ended in the Northern Kingdom?"
Even if Shen Yao led the troops to resist and died in the war between the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, he was still a good prime minister who defended his country.
Gong Yu said, "As the wife of the first wife, I have a broad mind. If you want to take action against the Shen family, go ahead. I won't get jealous over a dead person."
"Gong Yu, can you comb my hair from now on?"
Gong Yu responded.
Come to the dining hall.
Su Chi, Gong Yuanzhi and Madam Gong have already taken their seats.
Gong Yuanzhi looked at Su Rou and asked, "Why are your eyes red?"
Su Rou didn't cry, she just felt sad for Shen Yao.
She sniffed, pulled out a stool and sat down next to him.
"No, I got a little cold on the way here."
Su Chi picked up his chopsticks and said, "Su Rou, I will arrange for the second brother to go to Shen Yao and the fake Su Rou's body tomorrow."
Su Rou nodded, her voice a little muffled, "Yeah."
Shen Yao had to endure the whole night in the snow and ice.
They couldn't move the bodies of Shen Yao and fake Su Rou at will, so they had to wait for someone to discover them.
And the first day of the Lunar New Year next year will be the best time.
Anyone who came to visit would find that something had happened in the Shen Mansion, where no one was left alive.
Gong Yuanzhi picked up a chicken leg and placed it in her bowl. "Everyone has their own destiny. Don't be too upset. Since Shen Yao chose this outcome, it means he had thought it through in advance."
Su Rou held the chopsticks tightly for a long time. "Although I know you two are doing this for my own good, can you please discuss it with me next time? No, there won't be a next time. If you do, I'll be angry."
The anger was directed at Gong Yu.
Su Rou turned her head and looked at Su Chi again, "Third brother, if you do this again, I will complain to my father. My words are useless, but my father's words will definitely be effective."
Su Chi also picked up a chicken leg for her and said helplessly, "I understand..."
Gong Yu and Su Chi had thought about it a long time ago.
Su Rou would definitely be angry when she knew about this, and both of them were prepared for what to do if she got angry.
It's a blessing in disguise that she's not angry now.
Su Chi asked Su Feng to send something to Su Rou on New Year's Day. Su Feng knocked on the door for a long time but no one came to open it.
The door was not locked yet. Su Feng hesitated for a moment, pushed the door open, stuck his head into the yard and looked around.
What's going on?
Where are the people from the Shen Mansion?
The heavy snow last night covered the entire yard.
Su Feng walked in through the door holding a wooden box in his arms.
"Master, why don't I go in and take a look? I'm afraid the people from the Shen Mansion have gone to the Shen family's old house to pay New Year's greetings."
Su Feng raised his voice and called out, "Is anyone there?"
His voice echoed in the empty yard.
Su Feng said, "The third brother asked me to bring something to my younger sister. If my younger sister and Shen Yao were to go to pay New Year's greetings, they shouldn't have left the door unlocked."
And this one for New Year's greetings...
Do you want to take the whole government with you?
In such a large courtyard of the Shen Mansion, not even a hawk can be seen.
What's more, he just shouted and no one responded!
Su Feng handed the box to a follower and said, "I'll go in and take a look. You, come with me. The others will guard the door. If anyone comes back, go in and call me."
