Chapter 202 Frankly Speaking
Su Luo's hope now lies on Qin Qing, hoping that she can provide some clues that will lead to a breakthrough in the case.
Coming out of the prison, Zeng Xinrou walked far ahead, with Su Luo and Zhou Chongwen following behind. Su Luo apologized to Zhou Chongwen again, solemnly.
"I took advantage of your feelings for me. I'm sorry."
Zhou Chongwen took a deep breath and smiled. "In fact, I have known for a long time that the distance between us has been getting farther and farther since we left Zhuxian Town, but I just didn't want to believe it."
"In fact, I once considered the possibility between us, but at that time my heart was unstable and I wanted to do too many things, so I ignored the relationship that I should cherish the most." Su Luo said in a muffled voice: "I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize." Zhou Chongwen said, "Without you, I might still be stuck in that small village, and I wouldn't be where I am today."
"This has nothing to do with me." Su Luo stuck out her tongue. "If you don't take the imperial examination, I will support you for the rest of your life. It makes no difference to me."
Zhou Chongwen laughed, "Indeed, you never care about these things, but I do. I can't let go of my self-esteem, so I am not worthy of you."
Su Luo stopped and said in amazement: "I thought you were taking the exam again to clear your father's name."
Zhou Chongwen just smiled and said, "It's not bad now. Lord Ning and my father were old acquaintances and he is very supportive of me. After , he may petition the emperor to send me to the Inspectorate."
"Lord Ning? That Censor Ning?" Su Luo was a little surprised. "No wonder he defended you yesterday. But you were too disrespectful and didn't react at all."
Zhou Chongwen said sternly: "If I have no guilt in my heart, why would I be protected by him?"
Su Luo was speechless. It was the same thing she thought yesterday. However, it was probably this point that made Old Ning think that this guy had excellent potential to be a censor.
Thinking of this, Su Luo felt guilty again. It was a close call. It almost ruined his entire life.
"Zhou Si." Su Luo called him that.
Zhou Chongwen laughed, "It's been a long time since you called me that."
"I scream in my heart every day." Su Luo pointed at Zeng Xinrou in front of him with his chin, "People are too stupid. They always think that happiness is ahead, so they keep running and miss many beautiful scenery along the way. In fact, as long as you slow down and quietly appreciate these beautiful scenery, happiness will turn around, stop by your side and appreciate it with you, and then spend your whole life with you."
Zhou Chongwen blushed and lowered his head, "I know what she feels, but... I don't know how to respond, and I don't want to respond, because I can't let you go."
"sorry."
"I told you not to apologize." Zhou Chongwen raised his head. "Now I can finally understand how she feels. You are right. Sometimes we can't just look ahead, we have to look around us too."
Zhou Chongwen left, and walked quickly to the front to catch up with Zeng Xinrou. He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to look for something. After searching for a long time without finding it, he finally wiped away the tears from Zeng Xinrou's eyes with his sleeve. Zeng Xinrou burst into laughter, and her smile was full of surprise.
Su Luo took out the handkerchief Zhou Chongwen had given her in the morning to wipe her tears, swung it in the wind, and wrinkled her nose, "Hmph, I'm a little jealous."
After parting with Zhou Chongwen, Su Luo rushed to Qin's house. The door was closed and not even a servant was seen. Su Luo went to Wan's house again with a doubtful heart. This time she found the right place. Qin Qing, Su Luo, and Liu Chengxuan were all there. Madam Qin was also there, but she was lying down with a bandage on her forehead and blood oozing from the corner of her forehead.
Su Luo looked around but didn't see Wan Yangui . He pulled Su Jiang aside and asked quietly, "Another bloody murder?"
Su Jiang heaved a sigh of relief when she learned that the prison was safe, but then she said with a headache, "Mrs. Qin dismissed the servants and came over to ask Wan Yangui to let Qin Huai go, and then she hit her head against the wall and is still unconscious."
Su Luo asked hurriedly: "She also suspects that Wan Yangui has evidence that can influence this case?"
"That should be the case, but Qin Qing never said anything." Su Jiang glanced at Qin Qing who was guarding the bed. "She now calls herself Madam Wan and firmly believes in Wan Yangui."
Su Luo scratched his head, "What about Wan Yangui? Did you see him?"
Su Luo spread his hands and said, "When I came here, the old lady had already hit the wall. This guy said Wan Yangui ran away in anger."
Liu Chengxuan kept circling around, opening and closing his fan, "What on earth is this?"
It seems that I can't count on him for the time being. Su Luo came close to Qin Qing and asked, "What did Wan Yangui tell you?"
Qin Qing held her mother's hand without moving her eyes.
Su Luo said anxiously: "The court will go to court tomorrow and the case will be decided. Wan Yangui will not produce evidence to save your brother. Tell us and we will find a solution together."
Qin Qing was still the same, not even blinking.
Su Luo pointed at Madam Qin on the bed and said, "Look at your mother. She came to exchange her life for Wan Yangui's because she knew that Wan Yangui would not produce evidence. Your mother almost died. Why are you still so persistent?"
Qin Qing finally spoke, "If my mother hadn't come, my husband would have kept his promise to save my second brother, but now my mother is threatening to die, and my husband is angry."
Su Luo was at a loss, absolutely at a loss.
But she understood Qin Qing. When all hope was shattered, she would naturally believe that the only light that was on was hope, even if the person who lit that light was her enemy.
"Forget it, go home and wait for death!" Su Luo rubbed his temple and said to Qin Qing: "Remember to go to Dali Temple tomorrow to see how your second brother will be killed by your unlucky husband!"
Qin Qing remained silent. Su Luo stamped her feet in anger and ran back to sit. "No, I have to wait for Wan Yan to come back. I have to find out what's going on!"
Su Jiang said to Liu Chengxuan: "Go and look for him, he should still listen to you."
Liu Chengxuan continued to draw circles as if he hadn't heard anything. Suddenly, he knocked his head with his fan, "Where's Qin Qi?"
Speechless,
Speechless,
Continue to be speechless.
Qin Qing came to the Wan Mansion early in the morning, and Madam Qin came in the afternoon. She was alone when she came, and the servants had dispersed. As for Qin Qi... was he sent away?
Su Luo waved away this extremely embarrassing thought. Yes! If Qin Qi was here, he might be a trump card.
