Su Che brought Zhong Ling along to play. After half a month, they finally arrived at Suzhou.
After arriving in Suzhou, Su Che did not stay in the city for long. Instead, he went to the edge of Lake Tai and prepared to go to Mantuo Villa. (In the beginning of the chapter, I wrote Mantuo Villa as Bi Luo Villa. I can't change it now, but it doesn't affect my reading. Please forgive me. I will write Mantuo Villa in the future.)）
"Brother Su, look, there's a boat over there!”As soon as the two of them arrived at the edge of Lake Tai, Zhong Ling saw a small boat docked at the ferry and hurriedly pointed at it.
"Okay, Ling 'er, let's go over." Su Che smiled. They came at the right time. He pulled Zhong Ling along and walked towards the ferry.
"Boatman, can you send us to Mantuo Villa?”Su Che came to the ferry and said to the boatman sitting at the bow.
When the boatman heard that Su Che was going to Mantuo Villa, it was as if he had heard something extremely terrifying. He said in horror,""Young Master, are you talking about the Mantuo Villa in the center of Lake Tai?”
Su Che was stunned. Could there be more than one Mantuo Villa? "Dare I ask the boatman, is there more than one Mantuo Villa?"”
The boatman shook his head and said," That's not it. It's just that if you go to Mantuo Villa, I can't send you there. Please don't make things difficult for me."”
Su Che suddenly remembered that in the original novel, Li Qingluo forbade men from going to Mantuo Villa. All the men who went there were killed and used as fertilizer. No wonder the boatman was so afraid.
However, Su Che knew why the boatman was afraid, but Zhong Ling didn't. She felt strange and asked,""Boatman, why are you so afraid when you hear about Mantuo Villa? Is there some evil person living up there?”
"Miss, you've misunderstood. The people living in Mantuo Villa are not evil people. Mantuo Villa is Madam Wang's residence. However, for some reason, Madam Wang seemed to hate men very much and forbade any men from entering Mantuo Villa. Once a man broke into Mantuo Villa, he would be killed by Madam Wang's subordinates. That was why the boatman was so afraid of Mantuo Villa and did not dare to take the young master and the young lady there.”
A voice that was as gentle as water yet carried a hint of mischief was heard. Zhong Ling and Su Che hurriedly turned their heads to look and saw a lady in a light red palace dress driving a boat to the port. She was smiling sweetly at the two of them. The voice just now was said by this lady.
Su Che was stunned when he saw the woman's appearance. The woman was about 16 years old, beautiful, delicate, and lively. Her skin was delicate, snow-white, and tender. Her eyes were bright and lively, and she had a half-smile on her face. Her face was full of mischief.
And this woman was extremely familiar with Mantuo Villa. Su Che immediately thought of a person, Ah Zhu.
"Why is she here? How strange."
"Ya! Sister, you're so beautiful. Ling 'er likes you!”After Zhong Ling saw the woman clearly, she quickly ran in front of the woman and said happily.
The woman was stunned. She looked at Zhong Ling carefully and found that she had a good impression of the girl in front of her. She smiled and said,"Sister, you're the one who's good-looking!”
Su Che looked at Zhong Ling, who was chatting happily with Ling 'er, with a puzzled expression. They had clearly just met, and Zhong Ling didn't even seem to know who that woman was.
Zhong Ling continued,"My name is Zhong Ling. Sister can call me Ling 'er like Brother Su. What's your name?"”
The woman could tell at a glance that Zhong Ling was an innocent little girl and loved her very much. She smiled lightly and said,"My name is A'Zhu."
"A'Zhu? Then aren't you my…" Halfway through her sentence, Zhong Ling realized that she had let it slip. She quickly covered her mouth and ran to Su Che's side, lowering her head with an expression that said," I was wrong."
Su Che smiled helplessly. There was nothing he could do about that silly girl, Zhong Ling. He gently patted Zhong Ling's back and said softly,""It's okay, but Ling 'Er, can you not tell her for the time being?”
Zhong Ling nodded and said,"Yes, Brother Su, don't worry. Without your words, Ling 'er won't let it slip again."”
Su Che held Zhong Ling's hand and walked in front of A'Zhu. Looking at this gentle girl, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. With a trace of apology on his face, he said,""Ling 'er, this girl, speaks without any rhyme or reason. I hope Miss A'Zhu doesn't mind.”
A'Zhu thought of Zhong Ling's words just now. It seemed like she knew something about him. However, they had only just met each other. Moreover, this handsome young master in front of her clearly did not want her to know. Doubt flashed in her eyes as she said,"Young Master, you don't have to say that. A'Zhu also likes this girl very much, so how could she mind?”
"May I know what Young Master is going to Mantuo Villa for?”
A'Zhu was smart and knew that Su Che definitely didn't want to stay on the previous matter, so she took the initiative to ask.
Su Che's eyes flashed with admiration as he said,""I have some relationship with Madam Wang of Mantuo Villa. I came to Suzhou this time to visit her. However, I didn't expect the boatman to be unwilling to send me and Ling 'er to Mantuo Villa.”
“......”
A'Zhu thought of Madam Wang's temper and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. However, she was only a servant and did not dare to comment on Madam Wang. She looked at Su Che and Zhong Ling and thought for a moment before saying,"I advise Young Master not to go to Mantuo Villa. Madam Wang hates men. If Madam Wang sees Young Master enter Mantuo Villa, Young Master will be in danger.”
"Don't worry, Sister Ah Zhu. Brother Su is very powerful. That Madam Wang is not Brother Su's match!”
"Ling 'er!" Su Che quickly stopped Zhong Ling and said,""Young Lady need not worry. This Su and Madam Wang do indeed have a relationship. I believe that after Madam Wang knows of this Su's identity, she will only make things difficult for this Su.”
Seeing that Su Che was determined to go to Mantuo Villa, A'Zhu hesitated for a while before saying,""Since Young Master insists on going, then I can't persuade you. If Young Master is willing, you can take my boat to Mantuo Villa.”
"Is Sister Zhu from Mantuo Villa?”Zhong Ling was a little puzzled. Didn't Su Che say that A'Zhu was a servant girl in the Murong family?
A'Zhu smiled and said," Sister Ling 'er, you've misunderstood. A'Zhu is the servant girl of Gusu's Murong Clan, and Madam Wang is our young master's aunt. A'Zhu naturally knows Mantuo Villa.”
Seeing that Zhong Ling still wanted to say something, Su Che was afraid that this innocent little girl would say something that would make Ah Zhu suspicious. He quickly said,""In that case, this Su will thank Young Lady. Please give us a ride.”
"Of course not. Young Master Su, Miss Zhong Ling, please.”
A'Zhu smiled gently and brought the two of them onto the boat, slowly heading towards the depths of Taihu Lake.
