Su Liuyue sat up suddenly, and the thin blanket covering her body slid to the ground with her movement.
All the memories before she fell asleep came back to her instantly, and she almost subconsciously lowered her head to check herself.
Fortunately, fortunately, the clothes on her body were still original, which meant that she controlled herself until the very end and did not act like an animal.
Moreover, the torturous waves of heat in her body had disappeared, indicating that the aphrodisiac in her body had worn off.
Perhaps he had noticed the movement in the carriage, and Fengqi's voice was heard outside, "Miss Su San?"
Su Liuyue looked around the carriage. It was a very spacious and comfortable carriage. The seats were covered with thick mattresses and the four walls were covered with cushions, so even though she was leaning on them just now, she didn't feel uncomfortable.
She moved to the window and opened the curtain, and saw Fengqi riding a horse beside the carriage. When he saw her, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and was even a little moved, "Miss Su San, you finally woke up!"
Miss Su San slept for a very long time, so long that even after the wedding banquet was over, she showed no signs of waking up.
Seeing that everyone in the apricot garden had dispersed, Feng Qi could only grit his teeth and carry Miss Su San into the carriage.
Su Liuyue looked at the sun and was shocked to see that there was only a faint white light left in the sky and the moon had already come out.
She slept for so long!
I couldn't help but frowned, "Where's His Highness?"
After the drug in her body took effect, her consciousness became hazy and she could not distinguish between dreams and reality.
But she was very sure that Zhou Yunke had come and it was he who carried her into the box and hid her, and then carried her to the bed.
Because these two things shocked her so much, it was hard for her to forget them.
"Your Highness has accompanied His Majesty back to the palace. He should have dinner in the palace tonight."
Feng Qi said with tears in his eyes: "Miss Su San, luckily you are okay, otherwise I would be too ashamed to see His Highness!"
Su Liuyue looked at the street scene and sighed softly, "Are we going back to Xue's house? Did the Wenxi Banquet end successfully?"
As early as the moment she found out that she had been drugged, she realized that this trap was aimed at her and Zhou Yunke.
She was really impressed by the King of Wei's stupid train of thought!
If...she was really a man, he might have succeeded this time.
Even if Zhou Yunke didn't like men and didn't make a move on her, once people discovered that there was a man drugged and hiding in his resting room, and that man had a close relationship with Zhou Yunke, it would be enough for the old guard in the court to attack Zhou Yunke, and the King of Wei could take the opportunity to get rid of one of Zhou Yunke's confidants.
Although things are going smoothly now, I am afraid that bigger troubles are yet to come.
Su Liuyue's eyes darkened slightly.
However, before she could think deeply, Yun's voice suddenly rang out, "Liu Yue! My son, you are finally back. Your aunt was so worried!"
Su Liuyue was startled and realized that they had arrived at the entrance of Tongxin Lane.
Yun was waiting at the alley with everyone from the Xue family. When she saw Su Liuyue through the carriage window, she immediately ran up with an anxious look on her face.
To them, it was as if she had gone to the toilet in Zuixianlou and disappeared.
They must be going crazy with anxiety.
Su Liuyue hurriedly stopped the carriage. As soon as she got off the carriage, Yun came over and hugged her. "The people in Jingzhao Prefecture are really getting more and more unreasonable! They called you out at such a short notice without even telling us! Although you sent a servant from Zuixianlou to tell us that you had to go out for something, the words were not clear. How could your aunt feel at ease? Later, the yamen runner named Feng Dali found us and said that you were taken away by Lu Shaoyin to investigate a case. Only then did your aunt feel at ease."
After letting her go, he kept looking her up and down.
Su Liuyue was also very embarrassed. She left in a hurry and could only ask a waiter to help tell the Yun family.
She didn't expect that this matter would last so late.
After confirming that Su Liuyue was safe and sound, Yun glared at Fengqi warily, and pulled Su Liuyue behind her like a protective child, and said to Fengqi with an angry face: "You are also from Jingzhao Prefecture, right? I am very grateful to Lu Shaoyin for giving us the opportunity to clear the injustice of my son, but... our Liuyue has helped you solve so many cases, this favor is enough! No matter what, Liuyue is still a woman, how can you really treat her as someone from your Jingzhao Prefecture? You don’t know, we waited in Zuixian Tower for a long time, but we didn’t wait for Liuyue to come back. Instead, we waited for the news that a woman was killed not far away. My heart almost stopped beating!"
A woman was murdered not far away?
Su Liuyue was startled. Although she knew it was not appropriate to interrupt at this moment, she still couldn't help but stick her head out from behind Yun and blinked her eyes and asked, "What's going on?"
Seeing that her cousin was still thinking about the case at this time, Yun Shi couldn't help but feel angry and helpless. She turned around and glared at her, then pulled her up and walked towards home, "Well, isn't it enough that you have helped Jingzhao Prefecture today? If you are interested in that case, you can ask them tomorrow. They didn't tell you about this case, so they should be able to solve it by themselves. You should have a good rest today."
Su Liuyue was amused and did not refute Yun.
Never mind. My aunt was right. If they needed her help, they would come to her.
Today is the big day of the third cousin. She has made them worry for so long. I am afraid that the third cousin will not be in the mood to watch the parade. It is better to restrain yourself. Seeing Yun leave, Feng Qi, who was caught off guard and scolded by Yun, breathed a sigh of relief.
Miss Su San's uncle and his family really care about her.
If they knew that Miss Su San had just fallen into such a situation...
Oh! He couldn't think about it! If he thought about it, he would definitely have a nightmare tonight!
That night, after Su Liuyue finished dinner and returned to her room, Yun came over and sat face to face with Su Liuyue on the long couch in the small hall. She held her hand and sighed, "Liuyue, do you blame your aunt for always disciplining you?"
She knew clearly that Liu Yue was a person who didn't like being controlled, and she also truly loved doing things for Jingzhao Prefecture.
So, most of the time, she tried her best to hold back and not make a sound, but like last time, Liu Yue followed them to ambush and capture the murderer late at night, and this time, they were originally happily going to watch the Wenjin parade together, but everyone suddenly disappeared, and she was somewhat out of control.
Su Liuyue looked at Yun and smiled slightly, "Why do you say that, aunt? I know that aunt really cares about me. Besides, aunt always just talks about it, but she never really stops me from doing anything."
On the contrary, he has been silently supporting her behind the scenes.
If the Xue family hadn't been helping her to deal with the Su family, how could the Su family tolerate her hiding in the Xue family so often? And how could they hardly send anyone to cause trouble for her?
This time too, Guo had clearly been helping her find a so-called good family. But after she hid in Xue's house, Guo fell silent. She knew that Yun and Xue Chengyi had helped her avoid a lot of trouble.
Yun looked at the gentle and bright smile on the woman's face, feeling both relieved and emotional, and gently patted the back of her hand and said, "I often tell your uncle that Liu Yue is now living too transparently, and sometimes, she is even so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
I know you are a child with a strong sense of independence. Your aunt does not want to interfere with you too much, and your aunt is not a stubborn person. Although it is not easy for women to survive in this world, there are also extraordinary women who break the conventions. Aren’t the students of Princess Changxi good examples?
If you also want to become a famous and extraordinary woman, your aunt will fully support you.
But my aunt can see that you still want to live a stable life that you can control."
Su Liuyue was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that her aunt thought so much about her and knew her so well.
She is ambitious, but her ambition is not so big as to go against the secular order.
Just like what she had thought before when Princess Changxi asked her if she was willing to be her student, she now just wanted to live her own life well and slowly accumulate strength to make herself stronger. Maybe in the future, when she has certain abilities, she will have greater ambitions, but that is a matter for the future.
It has been less than half a year since she came into this world. For the time being, she still wants to play it safe and is quite satisfied with every step she has taken so far.
However, what happened today was a huge variable, and after she came back, she didn't have time to sort this matter out properly.
If what she worried about really came true, the rhythm she had been trying to maintain for so long would probably be broken.
She couldn't predict what her life would be like next.
Su Liuyue lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the coldness in her eyes, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "My aunt really understands me."
Yun Shi didn't notice Su Liuyue's abnormality, and chuckled, "Silly child, Aunt only hates that you are not my biological daughter, how could I not understand you? When you were little and ignorant, you often called me Aunt by mistake, and mistook me for your mother."
Yun paused, and did not continue this somewhat sad topic, and said in a gentle voice: "I hope you don't blame your aunt. Just now outside, your aunt lost control of her emotions and scolded you, and I was worried that you would be unhappy.
In addition to this matter, my aunt came here for another reason. Your third cousin said a few days ago that Yin Zhiping is very ambitious and is not a good match, so my aunt no longer considered him.
There are four candidates left. Your aunt has been looking for them for you these days and has eliminated Mr. Zhang, who comes from a minor official's family. The main reason is that I heard that his mother is not an easy person to get along with, and Mr. Zhang is a foolish and filial son. Your life will not be easy if you marry him.
As for the remaining three gentlemen, the information I have received is good for now. It is almost the end of September now, and your half-sister... and Zheng Jiulang's marriage is scheduled for the end of the year. No matter what your uncle and I say, the Su family must arrange the marriage for you within a month, otherwise they will not let us interfere in your marriage.
My aunt and uncle are not afraid of them, but it is better to avoid unnecessary troubles. I am afraid that the Su family will get anxious and use all kinds of inferior means..."
Su Liuyue knew the difficulty that the Yun family had in dealing with those villains in the Su family, so she smiled and said, "Aunt, I know."
"That's good."
Yun patted her hand with relief and smiled, "Then I will make some arrangements these days so that you can meet those gentlemen in person. It's your own marriage, and you have to be happy with them first before I can help you plan it."
Su Liuyue was silent for a moment, but said, "Aunt, there's no need to rush this matter. I'll be busy in Jingzhao Prefecture these days. Can I arrange it in a few days?"
Yun was slightly stunned, and looked at Su Liuyue carefully for a while, then smiled gently and said, "Silly child, what's wrong with that? A month is plenty of time. If you don't like any of the three men by then, your aunt will still have time to help you pick a few more."
Liu Yue must have her own reasons for saying this.
Although Yun was a little worried, she saw that Su Liuyue looked calm and didn't look like anything serious had happened, so she didn't ask any more questions. She spoke to her for a few more words and left to let her rest.
Su Liuyue sent Yun to the door, and only turned back to the room after watching Yun's figure disappear at the end of the corridor.
Er Anxin was more careful. After closing the door, he couldn't help but look at Su Liuyue and said, "Miss, what happened today?" (End of this chapter)
