Chapter 22 Secretly
Fu Yan was not annoyed by Su Changle's sudden throw.
He raised his hand to take off the orange peel that fell on him, put it back on the table, and said to Su Changle: "The princess is angry?"
Su Changle looked at him, his face bulging with anger: "What do you think?"
Fu Yan knew that the little princess must be angry, so he stopped provoking her and just whispered a name to Su Changle.
Su Changle raised his eyebrows: "Xu Luo?"
Fu Yan nodded: "Yes, those thugs were signed by Xu Luoyang in the yard, so even if they die, it is considered a family matter of the Xu family. Although it is illegal, no one said anything."
Su Changle frowned: She remembered that she had warned Xu Luo last time. Xu Luo was usually a lecherous person. How could he ignore her threats and provoke Jiang Shen again?
Fu Yan seemed to have noticed Su Changle's doubts, and then pointed out something else: "I heard that Wei Ruyi met Xu Luo recently."
That’s right!
Su Changle suddenly became enlightened.
Although Su Changle warned Xu Luo before, now Su Changle slapped her hard on the face at Wei Ruyi's banquet. According to Su Changle's understanding of Wei Ruyi, she would definitely come back with revenge.
But Wei Ruyi didn't dare to touch her.
Then I can only vent my anger on Jiang Shen.
She went to find Xu Luo, but Xu Luo forgot Su Changle's warning because he liked her. In this way, if Jiang Shen was really killed, his life would not be hurt, but Su Changle's love would indeed be cut off.
thought.
As for Wei Yue, just choose someone else and won't punish Wei Ruyi for this "little thing".
It all connected.
"It turns out it's her." Su Changle narrowed her eyes and said to Fu Yan, "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for reminding me."
"It's just a matter of effort. If the princess is interested, she will definitely be able to find out in the future."
Su Changle smiled and estimated the time. The table outside was almost ready.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Ah Zhu knocked on the door from outside and reminded: "Princess, the food is ready."
"Okay, I understand." Su Changle said, calling Fu Yan: "Master Fu, please go have a meal first."
"With the princess?"
"That's fine."
Fu Yan entered the princess's mansion and left in no hurry.
He spent an entire afternoon in the princess's mansion, and then left very leisurely in the evening.
Su Changle finally saw people off and felt exhausted and paralyzed all over.
But she was still thinking about Jiang Shen.
I don’t know how he is doing?
Su Changle lay undressed on the chaise longue and told Ah Zhu, "Ah Zhu, I'll sleep for a while, and then wake me up after nightfall."
"Yes." Ah Zhu closed the door and window and covered Su Changle with a thin blanket.
The moon was in the sky, and an inconspicuous carriage stopped at the door of the princess's mansion.
Su Changle hurriedly got into the carriage wearing the hood of his cloak.
The carriage ran all the way to Jiang Shen's place. When it arrived, Su Changle got off the car and Ah Zhu stepped forward and knocked on Jiang Shen's door.
It was Song Shi who opened the door.
Song Shi looked at the person coming outside. He recognized the person at a glance and quickly made way for Su Changle: "Princess Princess."
"Is your young master awake?"
"No, I haven't woken up since I came back this morning." Song Shi looked a bit naive. Su Changle looked at him a few times, but he seemed to be an honest person.
"My princess, go in and see him."
Su Changle quietly opened Jiang Shen's door.
His house is still so cold, unlike Su Changle's house, which has been warm since the beginning of winter.
Jiang Shen's room is small. Apart from a table, there is only a wardrobe and a bed.
It's so crude.
Su Changle tiptoed gently to Jiang Shen's bedside, and then sat down on the bedside.
Jiang Shen was lying there quietly just like last night. His face was still a little pale, but he was indeed much better than last night.
Su Changle raised his little hand and stroked Jiang Shen's cheek.
Hmm...
A little cold.
Su Changle suddenly thought, should we bring a heater over tomorrow?
Su Changle touched his face, then his hand, and finally her little finger hooked on his, just like that night.
Su Changle talked a lot to Jiang Shen.
"Jiang Shen, I'm here to see you secretly!"
"Jiang Shen, when will you get better..."
"You don't know, you almost scared me to death last night."
"Originally I wanted to take you back home, but now there are many people watching you...I don't dare."
"And that Xu Luo, I've obviously warned him, but he's still so courageous. The damn thing is, I can't touch him yet..."
Su Changle's little mouth was chattering. She didn't sleep all night last night. Plus, after dealing with Fu Yan for a day, the sleep time at night was simply not enough. Now even if she looked at Jiang Shen's thin bed
, and I feel quite comfortable.
"Just lie down for a while, it's not too much."
Su Changle muttered to himself, then took off his embroidered shoes and lay down next to Jiang Shen.
She looked sideways at Jiang Shen, and her breath smelled of Jiang Shen.
She looked at Jiang Shen's eyebrows and smiled crookedly: "I'm really sleepy. You only have a place to rest here. I, the princess, will just lie down for a while, really just for a while..."
Su Changle murmured softly, and finally managed to coax himself to sleep.
Jiang Shen, who should have been sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes.
He smelled the girl's breath, which was sweet, but...
But he smelled a smell that didn't belong to Su Changle.
Su Changle stayed with Fu Yan for a long time in the afternoon. She was too tired so she didn't change clothes. She never thought that Jiang Shen could smell it.
And she didn't even notice it herself.
Jiang Shen noticed it.
Jiang Shen looked at Su Changle and suddenly felt that the smell was disgusting.
He raised his hand and covered Su Changle with the quilt on his body, until the whole little girl was hidden under the quilt.
After a while, the scent of soap locust on Jiang Shen's body overwhelmed the smell he accidentally picked up.
Jiang Shen was finally satisfied.
He lowered his head and looked at Su Changle who was rubbing his shoulder unconsciously. With the weak candlelight, he could clearly see the down on Su Changle's face.
His eyelashes drooped: This is a girl...
Su Changle's movements just now were very small, and she fell asleep without realizing it, so the little fingers that were hooked just now were also loosened.
Jiang Shen paused and hooked her fingers again.
The two people's little fingers were entangled like this, but they were hidden under the quilt and no one could see it.
Jiang Shen didn't sleep much. Even when he fell asleep, he slept lightly. He would wake up whenever there was the slightest movement.
He was sleeping like this, not to mention that there was a girl lying next to him who was as warm as a small stove.
Jiang Shen felt that he would definitely not be able to sleep tonight, so he simply closed his eyes.
What I didn't expect was that he actually fell asleep.
I even had a dream.
Jiang Shen knew clearly that he was dreaming.
He seemed to be a bystander, entering a dream. His consciousness was still very clear and he did not sink into it.
He was in a dilapidated village, and one could see how poor this place was from the half-ruined walls.
Jiang Shen felt that this place was a bit familiar, so he subconsciously walked towards it.
The perspective in his dream moved with his thoughts, and finally stopped in front of a wooden door with a hole in it.
Through the hole, Jiang Shen saw inside.
Inside the wooden door is a courtyard. The courtyard is not big. There is a vaguely beautiful woman in a coarse cloth dress, busy cooking in the yard.
That face was incompatible with the surrounding environment, but it just happened to be that way.
Jiang Shen wanted to move forward, but an invisible barrier blocked him in place.
He was separated to the side, looking at the other person in the yard besides the woman.
That's a child.
A child was facing the courtyard door with a smile on his face.
The smile was fake, but gentle and decent. It didn't look like a smile from the heart, but the kind of smile that was deliberately practiced to please someone.
The woman's hands were constantly working. What was different from her face was that her hands, which should have been white and tender, had actually been callused.
From time to time, she turned her head to look at the child, and the corner of her mouth had the same smile as the child.
Even though he was smiling, he was very depressed.
The woman looked at the smile on the corner of the child's mouth and would look away coldly if there was even a trace of it falling off. The corner of her mouth was smiling, but her eyes were really cold and without any warmth.
Jiang Shen raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
The arc of this smile was very familiar to Jiang Shen.
There was no sound in the dream environment, and Jiang Shen was not in a hurry to wake up. He stood nearby and watched every move of this woman and her child.
The child is only four or five years old. He is very good-looking and has a beautiful smile.
No one will like it.
Jiang Shen looked at the child and subconsciously felt that he must have seen him there, but he knew that he looked nothing like this child.
He didn't know whose dilemma this was, or whether it was just a dream.
Not long after, there was sudden thunder in the sky, and a storm was coming.
Jiang Shen's ears seemed to be opened. He actually heard thunder in his dream and even felt the wind.
"It's really interesting."
Jiang Shen smiled. He wanted to go somewhere else, but he was trapped here.
Like the kid who wants to go inside when he sees the weather is about to rain.
"Mom, it's going to rain..."
The child suddenly spoke.
The woman put down the firewood in her hand. Even though her hands were covered with calluses, they were still covered in bloodstains from the branches of the firewood tree.
She walked up to the child and said to him: "Today's practice is not over yet. When the time comes, mother will let you into the house."
"It's just wind and rain, it's just a trivial matter."
The woman stretched out her hand to adjust the arc of the child's smile: "Remember, your eyes must be sincere to make everyone like you and believe in you..."
These words are like a mantra, circulating in the air over and over again, even the roar of thunder cannot offset it.
After the woman said that, she entered the house. She sat in the house and looked at the child standing outside the door.
After a while, big raindrops fell.
It hit the ground and hit the child's face.
Jiang Shen watched this scene with cold eyes, feeling nothing in his heart until a cold voice came from inside the room...
"Don't cry."
After listening to these three short words, Jiang Shen suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
It hurt so much that he almost bent over.
He raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to touch his chest.
He seemed a little surprised, but also a little playful and probing.
