"Are you really his biological child?"
Jin Ao felt sowhat puzzled.
It was rare to see a son despise his father to such an extent.
Su Junwen clenched his fists, seething with hatred, "I am nothing but a bastard he had with a woman outside. My mother waited for him for so many years, but he never visited. After he took us into his household, he ignored us."
"Even when one of his friends took a liking to my mother, that bastard thought of giving her away as if she were a re object... If it weren’t for this, my mother wouldn’t have committed suicide!"
Su Junwen turned to look at his lover and said, "Even the girl I loved, because his second son liked her, was forcibly betrothed..."
At this point, Su Junwen suddenly knelt on the ground, looked up at Jin Ao, and said solemnly, "Senior, in fact not long ago, on the day of the ngyao Pavilion massacre, I was also at the scene. It was I who secretly opened the door to the secret room, using the chance for you to kill my second brother. If senior blas , I, Su Junwen, am willing to accept punishnt!"
"So it was you who opened the secret room door; no wonder."
Jin Ao was startled, then couldn’t help but laugh wryly, "At that ti, I couldn’t find those beasts and was about to give up, but then the door opened right in front of , giving quite a fright. Sadly, there was one evil woman I failed to kill; a greenhorn saved her."
"Is senior referring to Miss Yan’er?" Su Junwen asked, his heart stirring.
Jin Ao shook his head, "I don’t know her na; I only rember this woman had a mole on the right side of her chin, appearing frail and delicate. If I hadn’t seen her committing evil deeds against Long and the others, I would hardly believe she could be so cruel.
Back then, I intended to kill her, but a guest threw himself into the fray to save her. Luckily, I pulled back my punch; otherwise, that fool would have certainly died."
Jin Ao’s face showed a look of frustration.
Su Junwen pondered for a while and then said slowly, "It must be Miss Yan’er, this woman was once the concubine of the forr Magistrate of Qingzhou. After Magistrate was killed by Qu Hongling, she went to a brothel to earn a living.
As for the man who saved her, if I’m not mistaken, he is a noble from the Capital, last na Wen, who’s nearly forty years old, known as ’Wen Er’. I saw him twice while following my second brother, Su Juntong. His character isn’t bad, although he is easily manipulated."
Wen Er?
Jiang Shouzhong heard this na, and his expression turned strange.
He rembered that Li Nanshuang’s second uncle was called "Wen Er" in the Capital.
Thinking that Li Nanshuang had rushed to Qingzhou earlier, saying that a relative was in trouble, Jiang Shouzhong was at a loss for words.
It turned out that the perpetrator who injured his boss’s second uncle was right before his eyes.
What to do?
Catch this man and take him back for his boss?
But not to ntion the man’s high cultivation, just listening to the inside story, his boss’ second uncle purely asked for it.
Forget it, let’s pretend I didn’t see it for now.
...
Outside the cave, the rain continued to pour, leaving Jiang Shouzhong with no choice but to keep waiting.
The eldest young master of the Su family hadn’t reappeared since, and Jiang wondered if he was setting traps nearby or also waiting for the rain to stop.
After Su Junwen finished talking about the Su family, he sat down quietly to recuperate.
Jin Ao wanted to continue getting close to Jiang Shouzhong but, seeing that the other was really not interested in engaging with him, he could only sulkily give up.
"Jiang Mo..."
Yelü Miaomiao seed to be feeling unwell as she fidgeted and gently tugged at the man’s clothes.
Jiang Shouzhong asked puzzledly, "What’s wrong?"
The girl’s ears turned red, and after hesitating for a while, she whispered, "I want to go outside."
Jiang Shouzhong frowned, "Didn’t you see the heavy rain outside?"
But he soon realized what she ant and looked at her strangely, "You don’t need to pee, do you?"
Yelü Miaomiao nodded slightly.
Jiang Shouzhong was exasperated, wondering how she always needed so much water.
Reincarnation of a water baby?
He had thought of making her hold it, but seeing that the girl seed to be holding back for a long ti, Jiang Shouzhong swept a glance around the cave, finding indeed no private place to relieve herself, he said reluctantly, "Fine, I’ll accompany you."
Fortunately, he had stripped a couple of raincoats from those Su family n earlier; they were simple enough for so shelter from the rain.
"No need, I can go by myself," Yelü Miaomiao quickly said.
Jiang Shouzhong put on a raincoat, leaving no room for argunt, and took the girl out of the cave."
With the rain pouring down, the area outside the cave was nearly all puddles; Yelü Miaomiao, wary of getting her feet wet, carefully chose an open area by stepping on scattered rocks. Seeing Jiang Shouzhong not far away, she complained, "Can’t you go a bit farther away?"
"It’s raining so hard; I can’t hear anything," Jiang Shouzhong replied irritably.
Seeing the girl dallying, Jiang Shouzhong ordered sternly, "Take off your pants and hurry up!"
With that, he turned around.
Soti later, the sound of trickling water could be heard from behind him.
Alright, it was indeed louder than the sound of rain.
Just then, a sudden scream pierced the air; Jiang Shouzhong spun around to see Yelü Miaomiao sitting on the ground in agony, her expression panic-stricken and one hand clutching her upper thigh.
Because she was sitting with her face up, her pale, satin-like skin stood out arrestingly in the rain.
"What’s wrong?" Jiang Shouzhong regained his senses and hurried over.
Barely reaching her, he saw a small snake darting out, and on instinct, he stomped on it, crushing it flat.
Jiang Shouzhong breathed a sigh of relief, saying irritably, "It’s just a snake. What’s there to be afraid of?"
Yelü Miaomiao, with sweat on her forehead and a crying tone, said, "I... I think I was bitten."
