daughter-in-law next door

Su Jinshi turned his head to look at Nian Su, under the moonlight, her face was still flushed, her eyes were clear and bright, and they became more gentle under the moonlight.

"Thank you for saving me. From now on, you will be my relatives, and I will protect you for the rest of my life."

Her tone was solemn, and as the breeze blew into Nian Su's ears, Nian Su's heart felt sore, she knew that this might be Su Jinshi's temporary promise, and it might not be true, but such words still moved her heart.

In the past, her mother often made promises to her, but she often failed to keep them. Over time, she no longer believed in them.

It's just that when Su Jinshi said that to her under the moonlight today, she suddenly wanted to believe her, believe what she said, and she would protect her for the rest of her life.

"Okay." Nian Su replied lightly, but there was a sense of satisfaction in his tone.

Su Jinshi looked at her sideways, with a slight smile on her face, her eyes were softer than ever, Su Jinshi's heart suddenly relaxed, and she said: "Nian Su, I will never let you regret what you did today s Choice."

**

Since she was released from the prison, Su Jinshi spent a few days of leisure at home, and the relationship between her and Su Huaijin eased. Because of her suffering in prison, Su Xin and Mrs. Zhao also treated her very well, and no longer restricted her from going out.

Today, Su Jinshi was really bored at home, so she went out for a stroll, she originally wanted to go to Ma Zhi's house to ask something, but she couldn't go to him alone as a woman, so she had to give up.

Su Huaijin is also very busy these days, not because of his case, but because of his imperial examination.

Without one person to analyze the case, Su Jinshi was a little confused. She walked casually on the street and went through these cases again in her mind, but she didn't find any doubts.

I heard from Su Huaijin that Nian Qiang had already pleaded guilty, and that he was responsible for those cases alone without the help of others. As for why he did these things, Nian Qiang did not explain.

Although the case has been closed, Su Jinshi felt it was very strange. The relationship between Gu Shengyun and Nian Qiang was certainly not simple, but she was not sure if Gu Shengyun was the man in black. Su Jinshi walked into Gu's mansion unconsciously outside the door.

The Gu family is a big family in Taohua Town, and Gu Shengyun is the only son of the Gu family. He grew up under the love of thousands of people since he was a child. Both Gu Shengyun's father and grandfather were loyal officials in the court and retired here. , but there is still a certain amount of power in the court.

If Zhao Zhixian was afraid of Gu Shengyun, that might not be the case. Zhao Wenshui was a timid person, so it was not impossible to be afraid of Gu Shengyun because of his status.

Su Jinshi lingered at the door of Gu's house for a long time, but she still didn't go in. She had many conjectures in her mind, but none of them had clear evidence.

Seeing the ferocious appearance of the guard guarding the door, she also gave up the idea of ​​going in and taking a look.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she saw Gu Shengyun walking over with a folding fan in his hand, "Miss Su, long time no see, how are you?"

Seeing Gu Shengyun's smile, Su Jinshi couldn't laugh. She forced the corners of her lips together and said, "In the prison, if you eat well and sleep well, your health will naturally be fine."

Gu Shengyun showed a look of surprise, and he asked anxiously: "Why did Miss Su go to the prison? I heard that there are no beds in the prison, so it's really hard to live. I wonder if Miss Su has suffered?"

Su Jinshi didn't look like he was pretending to be surprised when he saw him, he just frowned and said, "Don't you know that I went to jail? I thought it had spread all over Peach Blossom Town."

The smile on Gu Shengyun's face also disappeared, and he asked with a sullen face: "Miss Su, don't say that, I only found out today, and Miss Su's heart is definitely not doing something illegal. I don't know who caused it." Miss Su, Miss Su just say it out, I still have some friendship with the magistrate of Zhao County, maybe I can help Miss Su."

Not waiting for Su Jinshi to refuse, Gu Shengyun cupped his hands again to Su Jinshi, and said: "Miss Su came here to look for me, right? I wonder if Miss Su would like to drink a cup of herbal tea in the humble house, and tell me what happened. explain?"

Su Jinshi had doubts in his heart, it happened that Gu Shengyun took the initiative to invite her into the house, and he agreed, Gu Shengyun made a gesture of invitation, Su Jinshi walked in, but saw Nian Su also passing by.

Nian Su held a cloth bag in his hand, and looked at Su Jinshi in a daze.

Su Jinshi stopped in his tracks, smiled at Gu Shengyun, and said, "That one is my friend Nian Su, can you come with me?"

As she spoke, she walked up to Nian Su, waved her hand in front of her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Susu, what are you looking at?"

Nian Su came back to his senses, looked at Gu Shengyun and then at Su Jinshi, and said, "Do you have anything to do? I'm going home first."

After finishing speaking, she turned around with the cloth bag and wanted to leave. Su Jinshi took her hand and said softly, "Susu, do you know Gu Shengyun? Do you think he looks like the man in black?"

Nian Su's body shook, and he glanced at Gu Shengyun in horror, then hurriedly averted his gaze.

"Susu, I'm just skeptical now. If I want to prove it, I need evidence. Now that he invited me into his house, I want to go and see. Are you willing to go with me?" Su Jinshi's voice was very soft, but like a stone One by one, they pressed on her heart.

Subconsciously, she didn't want to go to that place, but there was a desire to move in her heart.

Su Jinshi saw that she was a little shaken, so he took her hand and said: "She is my good friend Nian Su, she has passed by here many times, and has always wanted to go in and have a look, I wonder if we can let her come in as well? "

Gu Shengyun smiled, and he agreed. He took Su Jinshi and Nian Su to walk around in Gu's mansion. The servants in Gu's mansion only had a courtyard. Eye-opening.

Gu Shengyun introduced the varieties of flowers in the garden while walking, and also chatted and laughed with them.

Su Jinshi was a little dazzled, but her heart became more and more confused. The financial resources of the Gu family were much greater than expected. She watched Gu Shengyun talk to them quietly, feeling a little complicated.

This Gu Shengyun's behavior is very normal, and he never hides anything, but the more he behaves like this, the more unusual it makes Su Jinshi feel.

Gu Shengyun seems to be particularly fond of his flowers and plants, he can tell the whole story of each one, and when he sees those flowers and plants, his eyes are astonishingly bright.

Su Jinshi quietly exchanged glances with Nian Su, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Tired from walking, Gu Shengyun took them to the living room and asked his servants to prepare the best Biluochun.

"I was the one who told you all along the way, but I forgot why I invited Miss Su in." Gu Shengyun asked with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

Su Jinshi picked up the teacup, lowered her head and sniffed it. For a moment, the tea was fragrant, and she couldn't help but take a sip. The tea was bitter but not astringent. After drinking the tea, there was a hint of sweetness in her mouth.

"Good tea, Mr. Gu enjoys it." Su Jinshi said with a smile.

Gu Shengyun laughed, "Miss Su knows what to buy. This tea is a new product just delivered this month. It is extremely fresh. The water used to make this tea is also the dew on the lotus leaves in the pond in the early morning. Naturally, it is excellent."

Su Jinshi observed Gu Shengyun's expression calmly, smiled slightly, and said, "It's getting late, we should go back, thank you Mr. Gu for your hospitality today."

When Gu Shengyun heard this, he patted his forehead, sighed and said, "It's all my fault today. I wanted Miss Su to tell me about my imprisonment, but I kept telling you about my garden. If Miss Su Don’t dislike it, you can come to this mansion again next time.”

Su Jinshi smiled politely, "Okay, I will definitely come again next time."

Gu Shengyun sent the two of them out of Gu's mansion, Su Jinshi took Nian Su's hand, waved goodbye to him, and left.

"Jin Shi, I think he is a bit suspicious, he is warm-hearted, but he gives people a strange feeling, he is very polite, when he introduces those flowers and plants, there is a strange burning in his eyes..." Nian Su was a little incoherent , that kind of look, she felt familiar, but she didn't know what words to use to express it.

"Nian Su, do you think that Gu Shengyun's eyes look a bit like Nian Qiang's when he cut a rabbit?" Su Jinshi suddenly said calmly.

Nian Su was taken aback, she thought about it carefully, only fear in her heart, she stammered and said, "You...you mean, that Gu Shengyun... is really the man in black?"

"We can't conclude this matter yet, we don't have evidence, we can't conclude that he killed someone just by this look." Su Jinshi was a little annoyed, Gu Shengyun's secrets were all in those flowers and plants, but she couldn't go to Gu's house every day look at those flowers...

"Jin Shi." Nian Su said suddenly, with a somewhat cautious tone, "If we find out that Gu Shengyun is the real murderer, Zhao Zhixian will let Nian Qiang go like he let you go?"

Su Jinshi was silent, she couldn't guarantee that if Nian Qiang was really innocent, she would naturally help him seek justice, but...

Is he really innocent?

Su Jinshi thought of Er Gouzi and Liu Shi's death again. Although she didn't want to admit it in her heart, she felt that Nian Qiang was responsible for this case alone.

"Don't worry, if Nian Qiang is innocent, I will find a way to get justice for him, and so will Xu."

Su Jinshi tightened Nian Su's hand, as if speaking to Nian Su, but also as if talking to himself.

The two returned home, and because the sky was getting dark, Nian Su hurried home, put the prepared tofu into the cart, and then rushed to the street with Xiaodouzi.

Su Jinshi also wanted to go with him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

There were thousands of thoughts in her mind, but they couldn't be connected together. Over time, she became a little irritable. Just when Su Huaijin came back, Su Jinshi pulled him into the room.

Who knows, Su Huaijin said as soon as she entered the door: "Men and women can't kiss each other, don't touch me like this again in the future."

Su Jinshi laughed angrily. She walked in front of Su Huaijin with a smile in her eyes: "Why haven't I heard you say such a thing before? If you feel that men and women are not close, why did you enter the house?"

Su Huaijin smiled coldly, but did not leave, "The former one was my own sister, but you..."

He didn't finish his words, but it made people understand what he was going to say next.

"What's wrong with me? It's not fair that you treat me like this! Although I'm not your sister, you don't have to treat me like this, right?" Su Jinshi became angry, and his voice became louder.

"Why should I be fair to you? You have taken away my sister's life and everything. It is the biggest concession for me to talk to you like this." Su Huaijin's tone was cold, and there was no tenderness in her eyes.
