daughter-in-law next door

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

Holding the tea in both hands, Su Jinshi was in a daze. Her tone was full of confusion and bewilderment, which made Su Huaijin couldn't help sighing.

Maybe it was the sudden sound of the rain, or maybe it was the growing wind outside the house, Su Huaijin felt that Su Jinshi at this moment was extremely sad.

Su Huaijin stretched out her hand to gently cover Su Jinshi's head, then stroked it slightly, and said softly, "Don't think about it, since it's a matter of the previous life, let it stay in the past."

Su Jinshi didn't speak, but he could feel the temperature of Su Huaijin's hand, which was much warmer than the autumn wind.

Su Jinshi's thoughts went back to when she just broke up with Lu Jingshen, she had seen a psychiatrist, not only because of emotional problems, but also about the death of her good friend Wang Ying.

At that time, she never dared to think deeply about the relationship between Wang Ying's death and Lu Jingshen.

She escaped subconsciously.

Because of the long-term depression, she couldn't sleep at night, and finally went to see a psychiatrist. After the counseling of the psychiatrist, she finally got out of that period of the past.

She couldn't remember how she got here during those days, and that memory seemed to be selectively forgotten by her.

After an unknown amount of time, the rain outside the house finally eased, and Su Jinshi slowly came back to his senses.

Seeing that Su Huaijin was still sitting in front of her, looking at her worriedly, she took a sip of tea and said with a smile:

"Brother, don't worry, I will protect myself, but there are some things that I can't let go easily. Since we have all come to this world and met each other, I think something is destined to happen."

Su Jinshi poured Su Huaijin a glass of water and said, "I haven't seen her yet, how do you know I'm in danger? Besides, I don't want to see her because of the sixth prince, but because I really have something to ask her."

"I will not persuade them not to commit crimes. Since they have done so much, they will not stop suddenly because of my words."

Su Jinshi put down the teapot and picked up his own teacup, but he didn't drink the tea, he just rubbed the rim of the teacup lightly with his fingers.

"The Sixth Prince asked me to talk to Lu Jingchen, probably not for the purpose of persuasion, I'm afraid there is another purpose, he is a prince, he would not do such a boring thing as persuasion, and, even if he wanted to, probably not will find me."

Su Huaijin looked at Su Jinshi, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Jinshi, is it really okay for you to say such things in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Su Jinshi shrugged indifferently, "Since they can use me now, they shouldn't do anything to me."

Su Huaijin shook her head and sighed: "Jin Shi, you are too thoughtful. Maybe the reason is as simple as what the sixth prince said. I can't think of what the sixth prince can get through this matter."

"Maybe it's not that he can get any tangible benefits, maybe he just wants to test, to test my loyalty to him, to test the relationship between me and Lu Jingchen, or..."

"Test the relationship between the Fourth Prince and Lu Jingchen."

Su Jinshi's voice was very soft, almost drowned by the sound of the rain, but Su Huaijin could hear it clearly, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

But in the past few months, she has changed so much.

What happened to make her so unwilling to trust others?

With another sigh, Su Huaijin stood up. He walked to the window and watched the rain outside the house fall on the ground, making a pattering sound.

"Jinshi, maybe you really think too much." Su Huaijin spoke softly, almost whispering, regardless of whether Su Jinshi heard it or not.

Su Jinshi put down his teacup, walked to his side, and watched the scenery outside with him.

The cool wind came, carrying the coolness of late autumn, which made Su Jinshi's mind clear for a while.

"Brother, you can't take your guard lightly in this imperial court. I want to protect myself and Nian Su, so I can't be negligent." Su Jinshi looked at the rain outside and said in a low voice.

Su Huaijin shook her head almost invisibly, "You girl has such a change, I don't know if it's good or bad."

Su Jinshi smiled, but did not speak.

**

The two watched the rain together for a while, then Su Huaijin left. Su Jinshi walked to the door, stretched out his hand, and let the rain wet his palm.

In the rain and fog, Su Jinshi saw a person running in a hurry, he looked like Nian Su, Su Jinshi withdrew his hand, but walked into the rain alone, and walked towards that figure.

When he got closer, Su Jinshi realized that this person was not Nian Su, but just a little maid in the house.

Seeing a person suddenly appearing in front of her, the little servant girl was so frightened that she almost cried out. Seeing that it was a distinguished guest from the house, she apologized again and again:

"Miss Su, I'm sorry, the rain and fog were too heavy, and the slaves didn't see clearly."

The little maid apologized repeatedly to Su Jinshi, but Su Jinshi seemed to have not turned around and kept silent. The little maid thought that Su Jinshi was angry, and almost fell to her knees.

After a while, Su Jinshi suddenly came back to his senses, and said: "I'm sorry, I mistook the person, you should go back quickly, it will be bad if you catch a cold."

The little maid nodded and hurried away.

Su Jinshi stood alone in the rain, letting the rain wet his hair and clothes.

She didn't know why she was standing in the rain, but when she was standing at the door just now, she saw that figure in the rain was like the old figure in her memory, like when they first met, she fell into the water. look.

At that moment, she just wanted to hug Nian Su tightly, and wanted her not to be angry again, and she would tell her everything about herself.

Along the way, she had already made the decision to give up everything.

Even if she told Nian Su everything, Nian Su still won't let her go, then she won't go.

Obediently stay by her side.

She had made up her mind, and when she got closer, she realized that the person was not Nian Su.

She couldn't describe the feeling of that moment.

Suddenly, Su Jinshi felt a twinge in her heart, a feeling she hadn't experienced for a long time.

She covered her chest, and slowly squatted down. She pressed her chest hard, trying to relieve the pain in her heart.

But there is no way.

The pain flowed through her whole body along with the blood.

The rain suddenly became heavier again. Su Jinshi heard the sound of the rain getting faster and faster, and felt the rain getting denser and denser. His heart ached more and more. Tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably, but they melted into the rain.

Suddenly, the rain seemed to have stopped, but the sound of the rain was still there. Su Jinshi turned his head and saw Nian Su holding a plain umbrella standing behind her, blocking the rain for her.

Her face was a little blurry, maybe it was because of the rain and fog, maybe it was the tears that blurred Su Jinshi's eyes.

Nian Su also squatted down, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and gently wiped the water off Su Jinshi's face.

Su Jinshi suddenly grabbed Nian Su's hand, and carried her to her place, Nian Su put her into Su Jinshi's arms defenselessly, and the umbrella in his hand fell to the ground.

Su Jinshi hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear: "Susu, what should I do? My heart hurts so much..."

"What should I do? My heart hurts..."

"..."

Su Jinshi said this sentence repeatedly, with a crying voice, and Nian Su's heart also wrinkled into a ball.

Nian Su didn't take care of the umbrella anymore, she hugged Su Jinshi back with both hands, and patted Su Jinshi's back lightly, once and for all, very gently, with a sense of comfort, but made Su Jinshi cry even harder.

I don't know how long I haven't cried like this.

The sound of rain accompanied by Su Jinshi's crying made this night extremely sad.

Su Huaijin was listening to the movement outside the room, holding a cup of tea in her hand, but did not drink it for a long time.

After Su Jinshi's crying gradually turned into sobs, Nian Su said a little bit dumbfounded, "Why are you crying like this?"

He was trying to get angry with Su Jinshi, but he didn't expect to make her so sad.

Thinking of this, Nian Su hugged her tightly.

The clothes of the two were almost wet, Nian Su was worried that Su Jinshi would get sick, so he said softly: "Let's go back to the house, if this continues, we will all get sick."

Su Jinshi's mood hadn't slowed down yet, but he still nodded and obediently followed Nian Su back to the house.

Nian Su ordered the servants to prepare hot water, she took Su Jinshi into the room, and took a dry towel to help Su Jinshi wipe off the water on his face and body.

I didn't feel it before, but now that I entered the house, I felt cold all over my body.

Fortunately, the servants of the mansion moved quickly, and the hot water was ready in a short while.

Because this is just a guest room, it is also a common bathtub, but it is a little bigger than the one in the inn, and the servants even thoughtfully put some flower petals in the water.

When Nian Su saw Su Jin, she stood there blankly, a little bit helpless with her.

"Do you want me to help you undress?" Nian Su asked a little funny.

Su Jinshi pursed his lips, but nodded slightly, Nian Su looked at Su Jinshi's pitiful appearance, how could he still be angry?

Nian Su walked up to Su Jinshi's side, couldn't help but tiptoed and kissed Su Jinshi's lips, and said in a low voice, "Let's wash together."

After speaking, without waiting for Su Jinshi to speak, he began to help her take off her clothes. Su Jinshi didn't wear much, so she finished it soon.

After sending Su Jinshi into the tub, Nian Su heaved a sigh of relief, quickly took off his clothes, and got into the tub as well.

The hot water accompanied by the scent of flowers made Su Jinshi's tense body slowly relax, and her body temperature also slowly rose. She leaned comfortably on the side.

Although the bathtub is not small, it is still a bit crowded for two people to wash together.

"Susu, don't you really hate it when I go to see Lu Jingchen?" Su Jinshi asked hesitantly while playing with a petal in his hand.

Nian Su leaned against Su Jinshi, her fingers circling on Su Jinshi's thigh.

"It's not annoying, it's just that I think it will be dangerous for you to go there, and I don't want you to be in danger again."

Not only the words of the year, but also the heat, Su Jinshi actually felt that the eye sockets began to sore again.

She quickly sucked her nose to stop the tears.

"I know, if you don't want me to go then I won't go."

Su Jinshi put down the petals, stretched out his hand to embrace Nian Su in his arms, and kissed her gently on the forehead.

"I won't do anything to make you unhappy again."

Su Jinshi said in a low voice.

Nian Su nodded, put his hands around Su Jinshi's waist, but raised his head, looked at Su Jinshi charmingly and said:

"Jin Shi, kiss me."
