Chapter 785 Li
The moonlight is hazy.
Two lanterns walked out of the corridor one after the other. The first lantern was held high, reflecting Qiu Ju's anxious face.
She was looking around when Suyun caught up with her from behind, complaining: "Why are you walking so fast? It's dark here, aren't you afraid of falling and getting hurt?"
Qiu Ju turned around and stamped her feet, saying, "What else can I say? It's all because of you dragging your feet along the way. You made our wife wait anxiously."
Su Yun couldn't help feeling guilty under her gaze, but she knew she couldn't let herself be fooled, so she forced herself to smile and said, "Why are you so anxious? How could a concubine be lost in such a big house? In my opinion, she must have gone back with our grandmother."
"What are you waiting for!"
Qiu Ju said anxiously, "Hurry up and go to your house. When I came out, the girl told me to take good care of the lady."
If Suyun was a little smarter, she would have probably heard some hidden meaning in this sentence.
In fact, after that day, Xue Baochai noticed that her mother was a little abnormal. After trying to find out the answer indirectly twice without any result, she quietly told the servants to take good care of her mother and not to leave her side for even a moment.
If not for this, Qiu Ju wouldn't be so nervous.
However, right now Suyun was only focused on completing the task assigned by Li Wan, so how could she think about this?
He was very worried and accompanied Qiuju back to Daoxiang Village.
Seeing the front door of the main hall and hearing people talking and laughing in the inner room, Su Yun heaved a sigh of relief and turned around and said, "I'll go in first to see if the concubine is inside."
Qiuju naturally caught a glimpse of two figures reflected in the window, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief - at this time, the only person who could sit and chat with Li Wan was probably Aunt Xue.
So she stopped urging him and just waited outside the door politely.
Not long after, Suyun came out again, complaining: "I said the concubine must have come to our house - OK, you don't have to go in, go back and tell your daughter that the concubine will rest here today."
"this……"
Qiu Ju was a little hesitant when she heard this, but then she saw the door curtain lifted and Li Wan poked her head out from inside. She laughed and scolded, "What? Is there a man-eating tiger hiding here? Go back and tell Baochai, and tell her that I was forcing the concubine to leave!"
She has already taken the initiative to step forward, what else can Qiu Ju, a maid, do?
He had no choice but to return to Hengwu Garden alone with a lantern.
Seeing her figure disappear outside the gate, both the master and the servant breathed a sigh of relief. Then Li Wan winked and asked Suyun to lock the gate, while she returned the gift directly.
But the room was empty, and there was no sign of Aunt Xue.
Not far from the candlestick, there was a palm-sized human silhouette hanging.
Li Wan stepped forward, took down the silhouette, and burned it to ashes with a candle. She then crushed it with a broom and swept it into the flower bed outside the door.
At this time, Su Yun also locked the door and rushed over. As soon as she entered the room, she patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death, I was scared to death! Fortunately, she didn't see the flaw just now."
There was not much joy on Li Wan's face.
He put the broom back in the corner, and was in a daze for a while before ordering, "After the fourth watch, go and bring the concubine back."
This was something that had been planned long ago, but Suyun was still frightened and hesitated for a moment before she reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Then the master and servant fell into a long silence again.
In fact, after Suyun's fear passed, she felt a little excited, but when she saw Li Wan's cold face, she didn't dare to speak.
But as time went on, she couldn't hold it in any longer.
So he asked cautiously, "Grandma, if...if Master Sun and his concubine don't succeed in the end, what should we do next?"
Li Wan shook her head and said listlessly, "What we want is evidence, not to catch her in bed with him. As long as she enters the yard, nothing will happen, and we will have achieved our goal."
Suyun was a little confused at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she suddenly understood.
Regardless of whether the two had anything going on in that yard, the fact that they were alone in a room late at night made it hard to tell.
As she thought about it, Suyun suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
Although she had long known that her grandmother was not as humble and indifferent to worldly affairs as outsiders believed, she had never expected that she was so adept at harming others.
Out of fear, she naturally became speechless.
The master and servant talked for a long while, and Li Wan finally ordered, "Go and rest first. I'll wake you up at four o'clock."
"I dare not, it's just one night..."
"Go ahead."
Li Wan swung her sleeves again and said, "I can't sleep tonight either, so you should conserve your energy. Otherwise, if you are not energetic tomorrow and someone finds out your flaws, it will be very troublesome."
Suyun then bowed and responded, then turned and walked out.
"etc!"
When they were about to reach the door, Li Wan called her back and added, "Remember to bring some external medicine for sores when you go."
Sore medicine?
Su Yun was startled, turned around and said in disbelief: "Could it be that Master Sun...could it be that he would use force?!"
"Where are you thinking of going?"
Li Wan rolled her eyes at her, and her gloomy face suddenly turned red. She said quietly, "After all, she has been alone for a long time. This is the first time she has met Sun Erlang in more than ten years. I'm afraid she may not be able to bear it."
Suyun suddenly understood.
Then he remembered Sun Shaozong's vigorous spirit, and suddenly he became restless, and said in an inexplicable way: "Or I can go there after three o'clock, that's also good... I can help my concubine and wife share the burden."
Seeing how eager she was to try, it seemed as if she couldn't wait to block the gun for Aunt Xue.
Li Wan scolded angrily, "What a devil! It's already this hour, and you're still thinking about the affairs of men and women!"
After being scolded by her, Suyun immediately shrank her head and dared not say anything, but she could not hide the disappointment in her eyes.
Li Wan sighed inwardly at this, fearing that she would mess things up again if she got emotional, so she stretched out her hand to pinch her fair little face, and said with all her strength, "Forget it, you little bitch, don't go back to sleep, stay here and let me give you some advice."
Suyun was used to her pretending to be a phoenix, so she naturally understood what she meant.
Although she was more concerned about Sun Shaozong's sturdy body, seeing that Li Wan was determined not to give in, she could only settle for the second best and leaned forward, rubbing her four peaks against each other.
…
Just after the fourth watch, Suyun took the ointment, keys and other things, quietly left Daoxiang Village, and hurried to the guest house carefully...
