Chapter 42
Lin Chunyu frowned and thought for a long time, then vaguely remembered: "What do you mean?"

"You jumped into the trap for that delicacy, but in the end you found that that delicacy was poisonous." Su Mo suddenly smiled indifferently, "Is that what you mean?"

Lin Chunyu's complexion suddenly changed: "You mean, your girl...has something wrong with you?"

Do you have evil intentions?Su Mo slightly twitched the corners of his lips, if it was that simple, it would be fine.

He picked up the jade belt that fell on the couch, tied it on his body, and walked out with his feet.

When Jinse carried a basin of water and walked up the stairs holding a towel in the water, Su Mo just walked out of the corridor.

The two bumped into each other, Su Mo only glanced at her lightly, Jinse pursed the corners of her lips slightly, and finally smiled: "I just fetched water with great difficulty, why are you leaving?"

Su Mo lowered his eyes for a moment, then suddenly raised his head again, looked at her, and took a step closer to her.

His eyes were dark and shallow, and Jinse felt that she couldn't see clearly, but his hand slowly covered her ridiculous and terrifying face due to sunburn, and his fingertips gently stroked those places with slight burning pain.

"What a troubled girl." He said in a low voice, "The wounds on the face must be healthy. The appearance of the daughter's family is the most important thing. If the wounds are ruined, she will not be able to marry in the future."

Such and such a tone is the same as when she was still calling his brother-in-law, and he would pamper and pamper her.

But why did he suddenly return to the beginning?
Jinse froze, the copper basin in her hand fell off unconsciously, and hit the ground with a "bang", the water contained in it immediately flowed out, covering the stairs one after another.

Su Mo stared at the water flowing down, withdrew his hand, didn't say anything, just passed Jinse, stepped on the water, and went downstairs without looking back.

When Jinse finally turned her head to look at him, he was no longer on the stairs. She looked at the empty stairs in a daze, and some consciousness finally took shape in her mind—he was not eating, not annoyed. She, he... hated her.

"Ah!" A frivolous sigh suddenly came from behind, "Miss Song, how could you treat our King Qin like this?"

Jinse didn't look back, but the originally stagnant eyes gradually became clear - injury, pain, despair, and... hate.

He asked her to ask herself how sure she was of him; Luhe asked her how sure she was of him.

No, not a single point!

From the top of Nanshan cliff, she knew that she and this person must not have any relationship other than hatred!

But, did she still lose in the end?
She has always been only greedy for food and drink, but never greedy for what is in the glass, but today, when she walked past a small tavern in a daze, she was suddenly attracted by the smell of wine coming from inside, and walked away as if possessed by a demon. Went in and asked for a jug of wine.

This is a tavern where many rough men gathered, and everyone was drinking red-faced and jubilant.

Jinse only thought that the wine here should be excellent. After ordering it, she couldn't wait to take a sip, but she didn't expect the taste to be bland.

Jinse suddenly became annoyed, and patted the table: "Xiao Er, why are you using water to deceive me?"

The waiter was startled, and hurriedly came forward: "My lord, are you joking? The liquor in our small shop is famous for its strong liquor. How could you use water to deceive the official?"

Jinse pushed the jar of wine over: "Strong wine? You should try it, and then tell me how strong it is!"

The waiter hesitated for a moment, poured a glass of wine and drank it, tasted it in his mouth, and felt that it was the same as usual, then looked at Jinse again, and sneered: "Could it be that the guest is bullying our family?" The store is small, did you come here to make trouble on purpose?"

"You sold me water as wine, and you have the nerve to say that I'm cheating on you?" Jin Se just thought it was funny.

"There are a lot of good wine shops." The waiter coldly crossed his arms, "If the guest officer can provide money, the villain will naturally serve the guest officer."

It turned out that she was afraid that she had no money.Jinse snorted coldly, stretched out her hand to her waist, touched it, but froze suddenly.

I don't know since when, she seems to never remember to bring money to the street, and today her waist is even more empty, not even half a penny.

Seeing Jinse lower her head suddenly, wilting like a frosted eggplant, Xiao Er immediately became furious: "It's nothing more than a lie to drink, but you dare to ruin the reputation of the shop, Xiao Er, I really can't tolerate you!"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to drag Jinse, but a kind voice suddenly sounded from outside: "I paid for this young man's wine."

Jinse thought the voice was familiar, and when she looked up, she was startled—isn't this old man Mei, Su Li's mentor?
The old man glanced at her with a smile, took out the money from his sleeve, and was about to hand it to the little girl, when Jin Se suddenly yelled, "Don't give him the money, his wine is fake!"

The old man put the money directly into the aggrieved little second hand, and Fang smiled and walked towards Jinse: "It's not that the wine is weak, it's that the sorrow is strong."

Sorrow is thick and wine is light.

Jinse was startled for a moment, and then said again after a while: "That's not true, it's obviously fake wine!"

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the door of the store. Halfway through, she suddenly remembered that the old man had already paid for the jar of wine, so she turned back and left again with the jar of fake wine in her arms.

It was obviously fake wine, but in the end, she still felt a little dizzy. She couldn't help but look back at the old man who was following her, wondering, "This wine...isn't it poisonous?"

The old man laughed, stepped forward to take the half-empty wine jar from her hand, Jinse suddenly became more dizzy, fell forward and lost consciousness.

After waking up the next morning, it took a long time before Jinse finally realized where she was.

She just felt inexplicably uncomfortable and reluctantly left the house, only to see that breakfast had been set in the hall outside, and old man Mei was playing chess with her while waiting for her.

Seeing the food suddenly, Jinse realized that the discomfort came from an empty stomach, so she ignored everything, sat down at the table, and stuffed something into her mouth.

Only then did Old Man Mei get up and sit down, seeing her eating posture, he suddenly stretched out his chopsticks and hit her busy hand: "Are you going to eat me, a poor old man?"

Jinse flinched from his beating, choked on the food in her throat before she had time to swallow it, and suddenly coughed earth-shatteringly, and finally coughed until she burst into tears.

"You are so stingy!" Jinse gasped and wiped the tears on her face, "I only have breakfast for you, and besides, Su Li has plenty of money, how can I treat you poorly?"

"He never treated Old Man Bo." The old man smiled, stroking his long white beard, "It's a pity that this old man may not accept it."

Jinse raised her head suddenly, met his eyes that seemed to have deep meaning, suddenly felt annoyed, threw the chopsticks away, got up and walked out.

Unexpectedly, she tripped over the threshold, and although she didn't fall, she twisted her foot severely. Jinse couldn't help but exclaimed, jumped to the steps under the eaves with one foot, and sat down in some embarrassment.

After a long time, the old man finally came out slowly and sat down beside her: "Okay, come and show the old man your feet."

Jinse didn't seem to hear it, she just hugged her excruciatingly painful foot, and after a while, she shed tears silently.

"I know I'm stupid, I'm stupid." She murmured, "I tried everything to make up, just for this one thing... But then, something happened to my father suddenly, and I don't know what to do , I don't know if I should continue... But when I see him, I still think about it, and I still can't let it go... But I didn't expect that now, I have fallen short... Am I ridiculous?"

"Falling short of success?" The beard on the corner of the old man's mouth curled up, "How can I fall short?"

Jinse couldn't answer.

She was at a loss, she just thought her stomach was empty before, but she didn't expect that after eating so many things, a certain place was still empty.

It turned out to be the heart.

She only felt that she had lost something extremely important, but she didn't know what it was, and she couldn't get it back.

The old man suddenly reached out and patted her on the head lovingly: "It's okay, go back and have a good rest. If things don't go well, you can put it aside for a few days. Maybe after a few days, the way out will be in your hands In front of you."

When Jinse returned to the residence with Lvhe, she was really in a frightening panic.The sunburn of the day before yesterday, the paleness after the hangover, the twisted foot and the limp, and the almost bumped into a carriage on the way back and fell to the ground... In short, he was almost out of shape.

"What's going on here?" Lu He hastily prepared water for Jinse to cleanse herself, seeing Jinse's dazed appearance in the water, she finally whispered softly, "What happened, you can tell me everything Listen to me, okay?"

It took a long time for Jinse's dull eyes to move to her face. After staring at her for a long time, it seemed that she finally recognized her: "Lvhe..."

"I'm here." Lu He held her with one hand, and gently caressed her face with the other, "Speak."

Her warm palm covering Jinse's face seemed to have touched something, Jinse only opened her mouth, and tears fell down.

Finally, she opened her mouth, but her voice was extremely low: "Lu He, sister... was killed by him..."

For several days in a row, Jinse stayed behind closed doors, and seemed to be absent every day.Although Lu He intends to release her, she also knows that Jin Yan's death is a knot in Jin Se's heart for many years, not to mention that the person involved is Su Mo, so the situation is even more complicated, and it cannot be solved by releasing her.

This morning Jinse got up, but Luhe was not there, presumably she went out to store things.Jinse ate something indiscriminately, and suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the small courtyard door, she poked her head out from the hall to look, but saw that someone had already opened the door and entered by herself.

Jinse couldn't help shrinking her head, she looked a little afraid of seeing people.

Su Li's purple court clothes hadn't been changed yet, so it could be seen that he had just come from the palace, he frowned slightly when he saw this, and walked into the hall, he saw Jinse sitting at the table with his head buried in the porridge, looking I don't see him.

"Song Jinse." He could vaguely see her face seemed a little unusual, but she buried her head deeply, and couldn't see clearly.Thinking of the last time she told herself that she was keeping her filial piety, she even called her in a calm tone.

After a long time, Jinse finally raised her head slowly, and smiled at him with sunburn on her face, but her voice was soft: "My lord, when did you return to Beijing?"

Seeing the injury on her face, he frowned even more for a moment, and didn't answer her question, only said: "It's been so many days, and the injury hasn't healed yet?"

Huh?He was away from home, but he also knew that she had been injured for many days?
Jinse was a little stunned for a moment, but suddenly remembered that since he knew about her injury, he must also know why she was injured, and couldn't help saying: "It's all because I was greedy for playing games the day before yesterday, and went to the river to catch fish under the poisonous sun. And tan your face like this again."

For some reason, the corner of Su Li's mouth curled up slightly, and he said indifferently: "Oh? I didn't know that there is a river in your small courtyard, which allows you to catch fish."

He actually knew her whereabouts like the back of his hand!Jinse looked up at him suddenly: "You sent someone to watch me?"

If it was in the past, she would definitely be annoyed, and even more likely to complain, but now, she just looked at him quietly, obviously questioning him, but she seemed to have no confidence at all.

Su Li felt a little sad in his heart, but he didn't answer, he paused for a moment, and then said: "I heard that a juggling troupe just came to Beijing, I'll take you to see it."

Jinse shook her head quickly, got up and went to her room, Su Li immediately stepped forward to support the door frame, blocking her way, and finally lowered her face: "You live alone outside, how can I rest assured?"

After a long time, Jinse smiled slightly, raised her eyes to look at him, but her eyes were full of sadness: "What can I do if I don't live alone? My mother died when I was two years old, and then my sister died too. , A few days ago, my father disappeared. Although there are two mothers and younger brothers in the family, they have never been close. I am clearly an orphan, how can I not live alone? You clearly know that I also want to be with them , I also wanted to find them in the past. But you are not allowed, and Su Mo is not allowed. You two would rather be plotted by the emperor together than to save my life. Therefore, I can only continue to live here in pain the world."

Su Li was stunned, and said in a low voice: "You are actually blaming me..."

"No!" Jinse smiled again, "I don't blame you, I never blamed you. I owe you so much in my heart, these are all true. A person like me is not worth your money Treat me like that. I am in a state of anxiety all day long, and I always feel that since God has sent you to treat me well, I must pay a higher price. Therefore, I dare not ask for it."

It's not that she hasn't said similar words to him, but today, Su Li only feels different.There was an inexplicable panic in his heart, he grabbed her head, lowered his head and approached her face, and said in a low voice: "I don't want you to pay any price, I just want you to turn back now, then everything can be done again Pass."

"Then my father, can he come back to life?" Jinse suddenly opened her clear eyes wide, looked straight at him, saw him startled, and suddenly smiled again, "I only know that I am a fool, who would have expected that?" You are stupider than me. In fact, you are kind to me, I don't want to return it to you, but in my heart, after all, there are more important people—"

Before she finished speaking, Su Li suddenly let go of the hand supporting her head, almost furious in his heart: "Second brother? He treats you like this now, and you still can't let him go?"
