Su Zhi's disappearance had caused a huge commotion at home.
Ding's mother was worried the whole night, so she couldn't sleep soundly.
Yesterday, when he went to the shop to inquire about the situation, he found out that someone had been called by the government. After going to the yamen, he found out that the person had already left the city.
In this matter, Dan Xue and the others were still hiding this from the two children at home. They only said that the shop was busy and Su Zhi had left early and returned late, and they had never seen her before.
Although Jin was worried, she still obediently went to the Moon Residence Garden to study.
The two children did not suspect anything and continued to cause a ruckus. It could also be considered a blessing in disguise.
Meanwhile, Hua Manlou wasn't in much better shape either. Seeing that Su Zhi hadn't come back for the entire night, Li Yi couldn't help but feel uneasy.
When he thought about how Qiu Hong had invited the Crown Prince's son to act, he felt slightly more at ease. However, he was certain that the both of them would not meet with any mishaps.
Not long after dawn, a red sun rose from the east.
Su Zhi was still sleeping by the haystack, perhaps because she had been too tired from yesterday's journey.
The moment she fell asleep, she felt extremely heavy. Even the sunlight shining through the tree branches at the entrance wasn't enough to wake her up.
The man at the side supported himself with his head as he stared foolishly at her sweet sleeping appearance. He just didn't want to see enough no matter what.
Why didn't he realize that this girl was so pretty before? Her curls and thick eyelashes matched well with her delicate nose and eyebrows. Her pink lips were still pursed, and her fair and soft skin was covered with dust. No matter how one looked at it, she was extremely pitiful.
There were many concubines in Lu Huan's residence, including fat and thin concubines.
In comparison, Su Zhi was indeed not the most eye-catching, but she was a cute little girl.
He stared at her dumbly, his gaze sliding down the path as he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
He took back what he had said yesterday about her being in bad shape.
Only when he saw her hands that were slightly callused did he calm his gaze, revealing an expression of heartache.
These hands were the ugliest hands he had ever seen. Who could have a girl's hands that rough like this? Who knew how much suffering this girl had gone through before.
However, since he didn't have a man to help him, it was naturally more difficult to pull two children along.
He stared at her without sparing a single inch of her gaze. In his eyes, there was a trace of gentleness and tenderness, as well as a love that even he could not detect.
Su Zhi fell asleep quietly as he watched.
As time passed, the morning sun was shining down from the sky, and the cave was lit up.
The clatter of horses' hooves came from outside. Before Lu Huan Zhi could get up, the woman on the haystack had already woken up.
"Ya, it's already so late. I shouldn't have slept for more than two hours, right?"
Su Zhi rubbed her eyes. Seeing the bright sun shining outside, she quickly stood up.
"It's still early anyway. There's no rush." Lu Huan Zhi giggled at her.
"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!"
The three merchants in the prison were still pointing at her, trying to clear away any suspicions.
Was it that the two constables had been planted to kill her, or was there a problem with the people in the magistrate's office?
The sound of the horse hooves was getting closer and closer.
Su Zhi stretched her back and followed Lu Huan's exit to have a look.
"Well, isn't this your horse?"
Lu Huan Zhi nodded his head proudly, "Not really. The Thousand Li Horse knows how to recognize its master."
Su Zhi nodded in agreement. This was indeed a rare good horse that could find her way here.
The two of them packed their things and descended the mountain on the same horse.
Along the way, they didn't meet any more assassins. The two of them were anxious to return home so they quickened their pace, walking on the bright sun as they hurried towards the city gate.
It rained all night long, and the Four Seasons Taurus in the garden fell to the ground.
The branches of the willows that had not been drawn hung on the yellow grass, and there was not much of spring to be seen in the bleak landscape.
Zhao Danchen was wrapped in a fur coat as he looked at the woman beside him with an unsatisfied expression. He was in a very good mood.
"Second Master, it's been a long time since you've come to this servant's place."
The coquettish and mellow woman pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, as if she felt wronged.
"Don't be sad, in a while, when the old man becomes angry, I'll carry you on as a concubine."
The woman smiled charmingly. "In that case, thank you, Second Master."
Ever since the rebellion started, he was unable to hold his head up in front of his father because of the corruption of his provisions.
Once he lost his power, Zhao Zheng became the mansion's new pet.
Thinking of his half-brother, Zhao gave birth to a strong sense of disgust in his heart.
A child born of a concubine dared to control the Zhao Family? Other than having the face to be a waiter, how could that man compare to him? Wasn't it just a loss in pay?
"Second Master, what are you thinking?"
"Some little bitches don't know their place."
Having been demoted to a higher position and then depressed for a long time, the two of them had been playing with each other for a long time. The man seemed to want to vent all of his discontent.
"I'll be leaving first. I'll fight with you later!"
The woman gave the man a flirtatious glance as she watched him leave.
Zhao Danchen walked out of the door. Not long after he walked out, he heard the sound of a zither. Seeing that there were many shy young maidservants hiding in the pavilion in front of him, he became agitated once again.
"He's showing off his zither skills again so early in the morning. It really is the same as those lowly bastards in the Chu Clan!"
He stepped forward and chased away the surrounding maidservants, cursing loudly, "What are you looking at!? Get down to work! This sort of brothel prostitute selling this kind of thing is so nice to listen to? "
The maidservants lowered their heads, although they did not like the way he insulted the third young master, they did not dare to make a sound, and one by one, they took their leave.
The zither music abruptly stopped. The man's slender fingers pressed against the zither, his gaze scattered across the center of the lake. His indifferent and ethereal body contained a bit of coldness and hidden sharpness.
"I say, Zhao San'er, can you go further if you want to play the zither or play music in the future? Why don't you just go back to the brothel? After all, isn't that where you and your mother came from? "
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Dagang felt a strong gust of wind against his abdomen. He was sent flying a few meters away and fell flat on his face.
"Fuck you, you actually dared to hurt me!"
Zhao Danchen struggled to get up and was about to lift a large rock to his side.
"Bastard!" Just put it down! "
A series of angry shouts came from the hallway. Zhao Jian walked over and slapped Zhao Jian in the face.
Zhao Ditch covered his face and was stunned, "Dad, you actually hit me for the sake of this prostitute?"
"Shut up! What did you do to make you shut up? To hang around with a woman all day without any signs of improvement! "
After beating up his own son, Zhao Jian's heart did not feel good.
No matter how disgraceful Zhao Du was, he was still his own son. If he had a bit of potential, he wouldn't have let Zhao Zheng come forward and do things.
"Okay, okay, okay. Ever since this evil bastard entered the door, you have always found me pleasing to the eye. Nothing I do can please you, so why should I stay in the Zhao Family?" "I'll leave now. You just have to count on this son of a bitch to bring you to your death!"
"You!"
Zhao Jian was so angry that his chest felt stuffy and he almost fainted.
"Trash!"
The father and son duo were at loggerheads, and the man in the pavilion had an indifferent expression the whole time, neither happy nor sad, as if he didn't care about anything.
After a long time, he slowly stood up and cupped his hands in a salute, "Father."
Due to the displeasure just now, Zhao Jian's attitude was not very good. He nodded his head coldly.
"Your plan failed again."
Zhao Zheng didn't care in the least, "What you're most worried about is that other princes will appear and threaten the crown prince's position as storage monarch. As long as this matter did not succeed in the end, wouldn't it be as you wish? "
"But now, we can't touch that woman or child. Chen Ming's body hasn't been doing well all this time. I'm worried .."
"There's nothing to worry about, because no matter how lucky that woman is, it's impossible to let that child sit on the throne!"
Faced with his affirmation, Zhao Jian did not refute anymore. After saying a few words to him, he left on his own.
Zhao Zheng looked at the empty corridor. His face was pale, and suddenly he seemed to see the man approaching him again: "So you are here, son?"
And the man said, The son is gone, and the day of his return shall come. The next episode, you did a good job with these words.
However, he had forgotten that he had personally picked up the words for Zhao Zheng.
Deep in the courtyard, the scorching sun burned the heart. The dead man would never come back, never.
Zhao Zheng pursed his lips. The teardrop mark under the corner of his eyes was like a sob. He lowered his head and clasped his hands, bowing towards the empty courtyard.
