daughter-in-law next door

"The sixth prince wants you to meet Lu Jingshen."

Su Jinshi breathed a sigh of relief, she smiled and said, "I thought it was something, it scared me, what do you want me to see her for?"

Although she was smiling, the uneasiness in her heart still did not subside. She looked at the hesitation and hesitation of the few people present, and saw Su Huaijin's gloomy face, and felt that there was nothing good about it.

Sure enough, when Ning Xifeng looked at Su Jin, he said in a deep voice: "This matter is not easy. If you refuse, there is nothing wrong with it. We will not blame you."

Su Jinshi still had a smile on her face, but she already vaguely understood what Ning Xifeng wanted her to do.

"Jin Shi." Ning Xifeng called out, and softened his tone, "Lu Jingshen, now is the concubine of the Fourth Prince Ning Qiyue, Fourth Brother dotes on her very much."

Su Jinshi was stunned, as if he didn't hear Ning Xifeng's words clearly, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"

Ning Xifeng sighed, but didn't repeat it again, just continued: "Fourth brother Ning Qiyue is the person behind the scenes."

Su Jinshi bit his lips tightly and couldn't say a word.

Seeing Su Jinshi like this, Nian Su looked at Ning Xifeng, frowned and said, "So what? What does the fourth prince want Jinshi and Lu Jingchen to talk about?"

Ning Xifeng looked a little ugly, Tang Ruize was anxious, she stood up, and said in a slightly louder voice: "What kind of tone are you talking about, the sixth prince is instructing you to do things, is it possible that he will treat you badly? If it is done well, Naturally, there will be no shortage of rewards!"

Tang Ruize still wanted to speak, but Ning Xifeng waved his hand to signal him not to speak any more.

He looked at the people present, all of them were a little embarrassed, he snorted angrily, but sat down without saying anything.

"Don't be nervous, of course we won't put Jin Shi in danger, but..." Ning Xifeng paused, his expression suddenly became complicated, "I just want to try to see if I can make Fourth Brother stop."

Nian Su took a step forward, stood in front of Su Jinshi, and said, "Sixth prince, do you mean to protect the fourth prince?"

As soon as Nian Su said this, the faces of everyone present changed. For a while, the study was quiet, only the sound of the rain getting louder and louder outside, accompanied by the whimpering of the strong wind, doomed this night to be unsettled.

Seeing Nian Su's appearance, Su Jinshi felt for the first time that this girl had unknowingly become stronger.

No, she may have always been this strong, she just didn't show it.

"Cover up." Ning Xifeng murmured these two words.

Perhaps in their view, peace of mind is the best outcome, since the prince committed a crime, probably no one is willing to reveal it.

"The sixth prince and the fourth prince are human beings, but those who were killed by him are not? And if the murderers we captured were all trained by the fourth prince, are you still going to cover him?" Nian Su said The sound is not loud, but it is loud.

Su Jinshi looked at Nian Su in surprise, I have never seen Susu like this.

She has always felt that Nian Su is weak and docile, but she has neglected that she also has her own ideas and her sense of right and wrong.

Ning Xifeng and the others didn't speak, maybe they were ashamed by Nian Su's words, or maybe they were just silent.

"Sixth Prince, if possible, I hope that Jinshi will not be involved in this case." Su Huaijin suddenly fell to his knees and spoke. He didn't raise his head, but just stared at the ground.

Ning Xifeng took a step back. He looked at Su Jin and asked, "It's up to you. No matter how you decide, I won't blame you."

Su Jinshi's somewhat slack eyes gathered again, she looked at Nian Su, and a warm current flowed through her heart.

Susu is protecting her.

only……

Su Jinshi's heart sank, and Lu Jingshen's appearance appeared in his mind, but the tenderness of the past was gone, and there were only doubts.

If Ning Qiyue also traveled from modern times, then why did Lu Jingshen marry him, and why did she work for him?And is Ning Qiyue the man in her impression?

These doubts hovered over Su Jinshi, and she suddenly remembered the night she broke up with Lu Jingchen, Lu Jingchen's expression seemed different from the past.

Originally, she was intoxicated in the sadness of breaking up, and she never wanted to think about that night carefully.

Now that she thinks about it again, she just feels that Lu Jingshen was different that night than usual.

"Sixth Prince, do you know how to meet Lu Jingchen?" Su Jinshi asked.

When Nian Su heard Su Jinshi's words, her body tensed up. She turned her head and said, "Why are you going?"

Nian Su's expression was a sadness she had never seen before. Tears flickered in her eyes, as if the tears would fall when the breeze blows.

However, after Nian Su watched Su Jin for a long time, the tears did not fall.

Su Jinshi pursed his lips and looked away, but saw Su Huaijin also frowning at her, as if he didn't understand why she made this decision.

Su Jinshi's eyes darkened, and she suddenly remembered something that Lu Jingchen said to her a long time ago.

I remember that at that time, Su Jinshi and Lu Jingchen had just been together for a short time, and they were both in the stage of passionate love. One afternoon, they were lying on the bed and complaining about each other's previous life.

Even so, it was mostly Su Jinshi who was talking, and Lu Jingshen said very little.

The cicadas in summer were singing happily outside the house. They did not turn on the air conditioner, but opened a window. Occasionally, the wind came in and blew a small wind chime hanging in front of the window, with a crisp sound.

Lu Jing was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and suddenly said, "If I break up with you in the future, it must be a last resort."

At that time, Su Jinshi was taken aback, she turned her head to look at Lu Jingshen, but saw her staring at the ceiling without blinking, another gust of wind blew in, bringing some coolness, accompanied by the sound of cicadas, and the sound of wind chimes was clear and pleasant Beautiful.

Su Jinshi took Lu Jingchen's hand, put his head on Lu Jingchen's shoulder, and whispered, "We won't break up."

"Jinshi, have you really decided to go?" Tang Mingze looked at Su Jinshi in disbelief.

His voice brought Su Jinshi back to reality, she paused, then looked at Nian Su, only to see that she had lowered her eyes and stopped looking at her.

Su Jinshi sighed from the bottom of her heart, but she still nodded and said, "I want to go."

She thought it was time to face the problems she had been avoiding before.

Lu Jingshen's face appeared in her mind, but her heart could no longer ripple.

**

In the past few days, Nian Su always avoids Su Jinshi intentionally or unintentionally. Su Jinshi wants to talk to Nian Su several times, but he always has no chance.

Ning Xifeng's arrangement was almost done, but Su Jinshi still had no chance to talk to Nian Su.

The day before I went to see Lu Jingshen, it started to rain, and the sky was completely cold, with the coolness of late autumn floating in the air.

Su Jinshi sat in front of the window, staring at the pattering rain outside, in a daze.

She didn't even realize that Su Huaijin entered the room.

"Jin Shi?" Su Huaijin stopped three feet away from her and called out in a low voice.

Only then did Su Jinshi come back to her senses, she subconsciously looked at Su Huaijin, before wiping away the tears on her face.

Su Huaijin was startled secretly, a trace of distress appeared in his eyes, and he said in a gentle tone that he didn't even notice: "What's wrong?"

A gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a damp breath, which made Su Jinshi feel his face was cool, and then realized that he had shed tears unknowingly. She quickly took the handkerchief beside her and wiped it.

"I do not know either."

The voice was also a little choked up.

Su Huaijin sighed, but didn't say anything. He sat on the chair and sighed, "We haven't had a good chat since we met."

Su Jinshi sniffed, nodded, but didn't look at him, and continued to look out the window, "Yeah, it's only been a few months, but I feel like I've spent most of my life."

After speaking, she smiled mockingly.

"You've changed a lot."

Su Huaijin's voice blew into Su Jinshi's ears with the autumn wind, and there was a chill all the way to his chest, a slight pain.

"I thought I would never change, but I didn't come first, I changed the most." Su Jinshi's voice was very soft, almost drowned in the sudden sound of rain.

"Father and mother miss you very much. They have been regretting that they should not have let you go. Father is a little older, and after drinking wine every day, he said: 'I shouldn't have let that girl go at that time, and I don't know if she could let you go. She can't take care of herself, and if she gets tougher, even if she hates us, it's better than letting her go wandering alone.'”

Unprepared, Su Jinshi's tears fell again.

Along the way, Su Jinshi seldom thought of Su Xin and Zhao Shi, and she never felt guilty.

"Jin Shi, do you know what your decision means? When you go to see Lu Jingshen, it is equivalent to entering the range of the fourth prince. At that time, it is hard to say whether the sixth prince can keep you, just like Miss Nian. As I said, the Sixth Prince's idea is entirely out of selfishness, the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince had a very good relationship when they were young, and the Fourth Prince has always protected the Sixth Prince, presumably the Sixth Prince has taken care of his past affection."

"This kind of affection is something you can't surpass, do you know?"

Su Huaijin's tone was a little anxious, but Su Jinshi felt a warm current flowing through her, and she turned her head to look at Su Huaijin.

She was already in tears.

"Brother, do you know the relationship between Lu Jingchen and me?"

Su Jinshi did not wipe away his tears, but smiled, with tears all over his face.

Su Huaijin looked at Su Jin with complicated eyes, but couldn't say a word.

Su Jinshi stood up and sat across from Su Huaijin. She lowered her eyes and said, "Lu Jingchen is someone I once loved, but I don't know the reason why she wants to break up with me."

"There's one more thing I've never told anyone else."

Su Jinshi's eyes suddenly became sharp, "I used to have a friend who had a good relationship with me, but one day she died suddenly. Because the murderer was not found, her case became an unsolved case. I once went to see her. Corpse."

"The scars on her body are exactly the same as those of the dead maids in this palace."

After Su Jinshi finished speaking calmly, he did not forget to pour himself a glass of water. The water in the teacup was steaming. Su Jinshi held the teacup in both hands, as if he was warming himself.

She stared blankly at the rising heat, and suddenly asked:

"Brother, what do you say if my good friend is killed by someone I once loved?"
