When she woke up again, she could feel that the morning sun was much stronger than the previous days. The scorching hot air pervaded the middle-sized Qing Qiuxuan. She was still lying on the soft couch, her white clothes soaked in blood. She tilted her head and looked at the fine dust exposed by the sun. Her eyelashes, which were as long as butterfly wings, cast a neat shadow on her fair face. The golden light sprinkled on her soft black hair like a waterfall, giving off a soft glow, like the best silk in the world.
" Miss..." Lü Nong's voice sounded outside the door, knocking three times at a moderate pace.
"Yes." She responded, not caring if Lu Nong heard her faint reply.
Accompanied by a hoarse creak, Lunong pushed the door open and entered with the dazzling sunlight behind her. The sudden large amount of sunlight that poured in made Su Su instinctively raise her uninjured hand to cover her eyes. After getting used to it, she put down her hand and looked at Lu Nong, who was holding something in her hand.
Lu Nong licked her lips, her pair of bright eyes smiling."Young miss, today when I woke up, I received a letter, saying that young miss is injured and asked me to take good care of her. Lü Nong has seen it, this prescription is beneficial and harmless to miss.”As she spoke, she placed the bowl of thick soup on the sandalwood table at the side. She bent down to help Su Su up and placed a soft pillow behind her.
"Did you leave anything else behind?" Su Su lowered her head, her eyes flickering as she looked at the bowl of steaming and bitter soup with an indifferent expression.
Lu Nong glanced at her and saw that Su Su did not have any expression that a girl should have. She could not help but sigh to herself,"" Miss, that person didn't leave anything behind, but at the end, he said something…" Speaking of this, Lu Nong's face was a little bashful, and her pretty appearance had a little bit of a young girl's blush. Su Su looked up at her in confusion. She could not help but wonder what Gu Yizheng had said.
As if she had made up her mind, Lunong took a deep breath and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito,"That person wrote: Last night, I saw Miss Su's muscles with a zither and should be responsible. However, people in the martial arts world have always been unconcerned about trifles. I believe Miss won't mind. Moreover, the young miss was really a useless person who couldn't be helped. It was difficult for her to become…a great person. The person in charge was afraid that Zheng would be unwilling in the future, and would not be able to avoid courting flowers and making Miss sad, so he gave up and both sides did not remember it.”
Su Su picked up the glass bowl and looked at the medicine in the bowl. In the thick soup, she seemed to see the person looking down at her. Her lips curled up slowly, looking nonchalant. Lunong kept her mouth shut and lowered her head, her heart pounding. The words just now were said with difficulty but also with excitement. Although it was just a few words, there was more than a little bit of information that made people itch. This man was so arrogant to belittle the young miss. He was really…courageous.
" Miss... this medicine... you still want to drink..." Without waiting for Lu Nong to finish her question, Su Su had already raised her head and swallowed the bitter black liquid without hesitation.
She placed the glass bowl on the sandalwood table and wiped the corner of her mouth with the silk handkerchief that Lü Nong hurriedly handed over. A cold smile appeared on her face."Lu Nong, help me change into the fragrant soup. I want to take a bath.”
For a moment, Lu Nong was unable to react. She glanced at the dark red bloodstains on her white clothes."Miss's injuries have not healed yet. It's better to just wipe them casually!”
She shook her head. Her body was still weak, but some things really couldn't be delayed. She struggled to get off the soft couch, and Lu Nong came forward to caress her. Su Su tilted her head and looked at the apricot tree outside the window that had already borne green fruits. She said lightly,""Lunong, which of the three do you think is more beautiful? Peach blossoms, pear blossoms, and apricot blossoms?”
Lu Nong looked doubtfully at the apricot trees outside the window, which were carved with vermilion wood, and stammered,"It should be peach blossoms! It was both demonic and sacred, especially the peach blossoms in the Peach Crossing Garden. Although Lunong had never set foot there, she had often seen it from afar. The peach blossoms were there all year round, and the pink color was like the burning clouds in Jiangnan at night. It was beautiful! Miss never leaves the manor, so she must not know how beautiful the night in Jiangnan is. The sunset is like a fairyland and the clothes of a fairy... Miss... Did Lü Nong say something wrong?”
Seeing Su Su staring at her, Lu Nong recovered from her ecstasy and looked at Su Su in confusion. Su Su smiled faintly, her clear and cold eyes rippling with an almost invisible gentleness.""The peach blossoms in the Peach Crossing Garden are indeed beautiful, but those red flowers are stained with blood, so they don't fall all year round. Although his master was isolated from the world, he could not shake off his identity as the master of the Dark Manor. You see, such a beautiful place is actually the ugliest. There are unknown bones buried underground, and they have long rotted in the peach blossom garden. This place…there really isn't even a piece of pure land…"
It was such a cruel truth, but her tone was not as indifferent as before. Instead, it was filled with a terrifying gentleness. When her lips curled up, one could see the thin lines of laughter. She tilted her head and looked at Lunong, saying lightly,"Lunong, you're from Jinling, right?"
Lu Nong suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Su Su in a panic. She smiled faintly and gently brushed away the hand that was clinging onto her arm."Su, right? Su Lunong, it's quite a nice name…"
Watching Su Su slowly walk away, Lü Nong wanted to go forward and support the tottering woman, but her feet seemed to have taken root and she could not step out of this cell no matter what.
"Su Su, you're a person from a thousand years in the future, but you're being played by a few ancient corpses…It's really…embarrassing.”Su Su was walking in the corridor of Qing Qiuxuan. The morning of the summer solstice wasn't cold. Instead, she felt a little irritated. A few servant girls of the West Park saw that the Third Miss, who usually did not smile, suddenly became very weak. They followed behind her worriedly, but when they touched the dark red on her shoulder, they were so scared that they did not dare to move another step. Everyone in the manor knew that all the people in the Dark Manor were punished yesterday because the manor master was assassinated and the Dark Manor did not appear in time. It was said that the assassins were a man and a woman. The man was wearing a black robe while the woman was wearing a white robe…
Some of the smarter ones felt that although Third Miss was unusually bold and even dared to hold Eldest Madam hostage, she would definitely not assassinate her own father. Moreover, he probably wouldn't wear a white robe to assassinate someone in such an ostentatious manner…
She pushed open the vermilion door of the bathroom. When the curtains were raised, she seemed to see a man in black standing in the layers of warm yellow curtains, smiling at her frivolously. The first time they met, the man who always wore white was dressed in a black night-traveling suit. He looked miserable and evil. She thought that if she wasn't Su Su, she might have fallen into that charming encounter. For the first time, she was glad that she was once Su Su, such a powerful Su Su.
The servant behind her closed the door for her. Su Su looked at the steaming hot pool and thought that if she did not have the habit of getting up early to take a bath, she would not even have a hot bath.
She skillfully untied the cumbersome tassels. When she took off her inner clothes, the silk that had already stuck to her flesh was so troublesome that she almost fainted. She bit the tip of her tongue and swiftly tore off her inner clothes, revealing her bloody shoulders. Beads of sweat rolled down her fair and smooth forehead. Her originally pale lips were now green, and one could see the redness in her mouth when she trembled slightly. She bit the tip of her tongue and was unwilling to let out a sound! A woman like this was unwilling to bite her lower lip even in pain, leaving behind any trace of her weakness…
After a long process of undressing, Su Su finally fell into the pool. The sound of water splashing echoed in the empty bathroom, making it seem particularly desolate. The blood on her shoulder quickly dyed the pool red. Then, it slowly faded away and gradually disappeared into the huge pool.
" Su Su... bear with it. The injuries I suffered in the past were much more serious than this. Don't lose the most basic patience after being spoiled for ten years..." Her lips trembled. As she spoke, scarlet flowed from the corner of her lips to her chin, slowly dripping into the pool water, creating a small ripple.
After putting on her clothes, Su Su pushed the door open and walked out in a long black dress. Her long hair was still dripping with water droplets. Her fair face did not have the redness after coming out of the bath, but was pale.
"Go and bring Fifth Young Lady into the courtyard. Remember to bring some paper and ink.”Su Su lightly ordered a servant girl who was standing outside the bathroom with her head lowered. After watching the servant girl leave, she turned around and left. Her slender figure slowly disappeared into the corridor.
"I heard that Lu Nong has made Young Lady unhappy again!”
Seeing the last part of Su Su's clothes disappear at the end of the corridor, the maidservants immediately started chattering. A slightly older maid said with a smile, her eyes filled with pride.
The other maidservants knew what she was thinking when they saw her like this. One of them pointed at the maidservant's forehead and scolded with a smile,"Don't have those white dreams of flying up to the branches. In the entire West Park, the only person who can get close to Third Young Lady is Sister Lu Nong. When has Sister Lu Nong ever provoked Young Lady?”
"That's right, that's right. You're too bold. With Third Miss's personality, if you don't hand your life over to her, when will she treat you sincerely? It's already not easy for our West Park's maids to be able to establish themselves in the Shiying Manor, and you still want to be Third Young Lady's personal maid, do you want to die?”The other round maidservant followed the pretty one.
Everyone's face fell, especially the maid who had tried to curry favor with Su Su.""I had no choice! Now, everyone in the Shiying Mountain Villa treated the West Park as if it didn't exist! In the past, when the sisters in Nanyuan saw me, they were willing to talk to me and gave me some strange things outside the manor. But ever since Third Miss kidnapped First Madam, who in the manor didn't take a detour when they saw us? It's fine that she's a female devil, but she's also implicated us with the devil's bad luck…"
"You're crazy! Not only is this the West Garden, but it's also Third Miss 'Qing Qiu Xuan. If Third Miss hears your words, aren't you afraid that she will kill you with a sword?”The pretty maidservant covered the maidservant who was still complaining and looked around in panic. The other maidservants also kept quiet and did not dare to speak.
"Fifth…Fifth Miss…Third Miss is still waiting. Let's go!”
At a corner of the corridor, Leng Suran was standing with her head lowered in a dark green gown. Her small hands were tightly gripping the corner of her clothes, and her lowered eyes covered her only window to the world. Behind her stood Hong Yi, who had been serving her all this while, and a maidservant that Su Su had sent to call her.
