Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 28 Returning to the Su Family!

On the top of the moon, the barren mountains are bleak and cold.

After Su Rao paid homage to Father, she went to burn incense sticks for Master Li and his wife. When she returned to the city, the gate had already been unlocked, and she tapped her toes over the moss-covered tower. The guards were still sleeping soundly. checked.

When she returned to the tavern, the backyard was indeed deserted.

After Yan Yun and the others revealed their tracks, they couldn't stay here any longer, leaving only shadow guards guarding the deep alley outside the courtyard.

The courtyard was empty and silent.

Su Rao stopped for a moment, then walked slowly into the main house, lit up the candlestick in the dark, the flame sprang up, dispelled the darkness, and illuminated the surrounding scene, she looked around——

There was still old tea brewed a few days ago in the teapot on the table, and when the lid was removed, the smell was so strong that it was a bit offensive.

There is a book called "Miscellaneous Cases" upside down next to the pillow beside the bed. It has been half-turned, and there are occasional notes written in a few places to mark the mistakes.

Hanging on the hanger in front of the window is an indigo blue robe, the seam is crooked, with a few patches, the cuffs are worn white, and there are faint thread ends turned out. It has just been washed, and there is still a fragrance of soap locust on it.

this dress...

She stared at it for a long time, until the candle burned and made a crackling sound, Su Rao suddenly came back to her senses, turned around to get the needle and thread, and began to mend the damage of the cuff.

Needle up and down, quiet and silent.

The dim and flickering flames pulled her shadow onto the wall, and it swayed violently. In a trance, she heard laughter passing through the barrier and coming from a distant place.

"The clothes that Ah Rao made with her own hands, Daddy must take good care of them."

"What are you afraid of when it's old, you can still wear it after mending it."

"Today, there are new materials in the auspicious shop. Daddy cut some and brought them to A-Rao to make clothes. The little girls from other people's houses wear red and green all day long. Daddy can't wrong us, A-Rao."

"Ah Rao, don't listen to those women's nonsense. You can understand things when you read books, know right from wrong, and judge right from wrong. Daddy doesn't want you to spend your whole life in a daze. This house is too small and the world is too big. You have to go out one day to see .”

"If you don't marry, don't marry, my daughter, I'm raising it!"

"Ah Rao, remember, Dad taught you how to read, write, and discuss articles since you were young, not to make you argue with such idiots. If they dare to talk nonsense, you don't have to say anything, just beat them out with a big stick..."

"..."

The words were still in my ears, haunted by the haunting voice of a nightmare, Su Rao's face was expressionless, but the speed of dropping the needle from her hand was accelerated unconsciously. Finally, the needle pierced through the fabric, pierced into the flesh, and blood oozes out like balls, "Hiss!"

She gasped, stopped her movements, frowned, and stared blankly at her fingertips.

That night, a figure was sitting in front of the window, the insects and birds were singing outside, the wind was blowing and the leaves were falling, she was pulling the clothes in her arms as quietly as a stone sculpture, guarding the lonely lamp alone, the night was long until dawn...

When we went to Su Zhai again, all the elders were gathering in the lobby to discuss matters.

"The entrance ceremony has been prepared, but I don't know if the envoy is willing to see us, and whether he will like these things."

"The son who grew up in Shengjing has never seen any good things. Are you really trying to impress him with these? It's fine if he wants to, as long as he cares about his second child and is willing to say a fair word and help a little, our Su family There is still a way out."

"Can Vice Envoy Gu do it? Or please see Mr. Zheng Envoy."

"What are you dreaming about? A person who can hold the seal of Dali Temple and control the life and death of officials of the third rank, how can we ordinary people have access to it, and if Deputy Envoy Gu condescends to meet us, we will have to burn incense."

"Nowadays is different from the past. The imperial court ordered Su Fengyan to return to his post. After all, we are all higher than others, right?"

"If he wants to live, let alone be taller, it is not impossible for the Su family to turn around, but he is dead, and death is like a lamp going out, so where is there any affection? If he really wanted to, someone should have come to the door I visited, but have you met anyone so far? Be sober!"

An old man stroked his beard and patted the table, persuading him earnestly: "It's different today, the news of the forced marriage got out somehow, and now everyone is waiting to see the joke, saying that we are begging for mercy and finding the wrong master. If you don't eat mutton, you'll be all over the place!"

"Then, who would have thought that the Liu family would fall like this..."

"The most unlucky thing is our lineage. The young master of the Li family from the silk and satin village came to the door yesterday, arguing to divorce Xian'er, and the marriage just got blown away. The girls in the family don't know what to do in the future. !"

"It's all the fault of that bitch Su Rao. If she hadn't had to go to the government office to make trouble, the matter wouldn't have come to the present situation. Now it's all over, everything is over."

……

All the seniors spoke and scolded Su Rao again, what was disobedience, disobedience, selfishness, disrespect for etiquette, shamelessness, all kinds of ugly words poured out like a basket, Suqian, who was sitting on the main seat, listened with downcast eyes. He said nothing.

Zhou Zhong, who was standing beside him, waited for everyone to finish cursing, called the maidservant to serve new tea, and bowed his head to persuade him: "All clan elders calm down first, the matter has come to this point, it is reasonable to find a way to solve it, as for that Su Rao... "

He paused, and said with a low smile, "Isn't it hard to deal with an orphan girl who has no father or mother?"

All the elders looked at each other when they heard the words, and nodded in agreement.

"Let's get down to business then, we..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall, followed by light footsteps into the hall, "Mr. Zhou might as well talk carefully, how do you plan to deal with me?"

"Who?"

Everyone was shocked, and turned around following the sound. Under the glare of the sun, the woman was wearing a plain skirt and came against the light. Her slender figure was like a green willow on a branch, swaying gracefully, and her long and narrow phoenix eyes were smiling, making people look I read it, but I only felt chills in my heart.

"Su Rao? Why are you here!"

"Have all the guards outside died? Didn't the clan have been ordered to discuss matters and no one is allowed to approach, come, come quickly—"

Shouts came and went, the boys guarding outside the courtyard heard the movement, and quickly ran in. The moment they saw Su Rao, their pupils shrank suddenly, and they said in amazement: "You, how did you get in?"

"Why are you still standing there? Drag her out!"

With a roar, the servants trembled, and hurriedly stretched out their hands to grab her. Su Rao moved lightly to avoid the hand, looked at Su Qian and said, "You don't want to know who colluded with outsiders to murder my father?" , blocked the Su family's promotion path?"

She bit the word 'collusion' very hard, and grabbed their lifeline.

"Isn't the murderer Sun Li?"

Someone looked at her suspiciously, "Listen to you, is there anyone in the family involved in this matter?"

"This is impossible!"

The first reaction of the others was to deny it, and someone in the hall changed their expressions slightly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Patriarch, the dust of this case has been settled, and the imperial envoy personally tried the verdict, if she is allowed to talk nonsense here and provoke the authority of the official , we are the ones who will be implicated by the spread!"
