One hundred and ninety-ninth chapter 16

Bai Jinyu was sleeping heavily while guarding Qianxi, and her body was full of fatigue swept over. She thought of going back to her room to rest, but when she turned her head, she saw the maid named Huang Gu looked inexplicably nervous, staring at her for a moment, looking like she wanted to speak but stopped.

"You have something to do?" Bai Jinyu asked.

"Yes," Huang Gu lowered her head in panic and said, "No, no..."

Bai Jinyu indulged her and continued to walk out. Although she was suspicious, she was unwilling to be more concerned.

Her personality has always been less than more. Besides, she has only been to Su Mansion for a long time, and even if there is anything in the Su Mansion, it is not her turn to get involved.

However, without taking three steps forward, there was a "bang" sound of knees hitting the ground behind him.

Bai Jinyu turned around and saw Huang Gu kneeling on the ground, her eyes were about to bleed.

Bai Jinyu was so scared that she took two steps back and said in surprise: "What are you doing?!"

Huang Gu lowered her head and buried her head without saying a word, but her shoulders began to thrust.

Bai Jinyu was confused. Although she didn't know why she was like this, she felt that something was not simple. She simply squatted down and asked carefully: "Don't cry, don't cry, I can't stand someone crying in front of me! Tell me what the hell is, if I can help you."

Bai Jinyu spoke sincerely, and Huang Gu slowly raised her head. Bai Jinyu realized that tears were flowing on her face, like a mountain torrent that broke through the dike.

Invisibly, Bai Jinyu suddenly became more stressed and became nervous about what Huang Gu hadn’t said. She held her breath and held Huang Gu’s shoulder, and her voice was extremely light and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Huang Gu sobbed, grabbed Bai Jinyu's arms with both hands and said tremblingly: "Save the lady... I know that the girl is devoted to the young master. I say these things at this time inappropriately... But isn't the young master better now... The master and the wife can hold it, but I can't help it!"

Huang Gu's words were in a mess. Bai Jinyu heard it casually at first, but after a moment of thinking, she became convulsive. The previous sleepiness suddenly disappeared like a blow!

"Do you think Su Lihua?" Bai Jinyu asked with a stern expression.

"Yes! It's a lady!" Huang Gu nodded repeatedly, and said without waiting for Bai Jinyu to ask, "My lady has been missing for a month! The master's wife has been sending people to look for the lady everywhere, but at this time there is no whereabouts..."

Bai Jinyu was so shocked!

Her head was sturdy and confused for a while. The next moment she stood up resolutely and said to Gu Huang: "Where is the master's wife? Take me there!"

Huang Gu stopped crying immediately, stood up and led the way outside. Her back was determined, and she had already left behind some prejudice, rules and regulations behind her head.

Bai Jinyu followed Huang Gu with a calm expression, filtering countless questions in her mind while walking. Yes, now that some things are too abnormal, you must ask them clearly.

The Minister's Mansion was not very big. The two of them walked through several corridors in front and back and came to the main wing room in the backyard. The candlelight in the main wing was brighter than elsewhere. Two figures were reflected on the door. The sitting tall and tall woman was a thin man in the long robe.

Gu Huang stepped forward and slapped the door twice. Su Ce's shocked voice came from the door: "Who is it?"

"It's me, master." Huang Gu stood in front of the door with her head down and replied respectfully. Although the people inside could not see her, she still kept the ritual of the master and servant.

A dissatisfied voice came from inside: "If you don't take care of that child, why are you here?"

Huang Gu silently: "I..."

"Mr. Su, it's me!" Huang Gu stammered, Bai Jinyu simply raised her voice and said, "I have something to ask about Lihua!"

The figures on the door looked at each other, and after a while, the sitting figure stood up and walked towards the door from inside. The next moment, the door was pulled open from inside, and the person who opened the door was Wen Ruolan.

The light in the room was hidden behind her, making Bai Jinyu unable to see her face clearly, but her hair was still strong and a slight scent of it flashed through Bai Jinyu's heart.

Her mother is a rare figure. Her daughter has been missing for a month, and she still has exquisite makeup every day, with pearl hair and hairpins.

Wen Ruolan was stunned for a moment and then said, "Come in!"

Bai Jinyu followed Wen Ruolan into the house, and the door was gently closed behind her.

The main compartment is divided into two rooms inside and outside. The outer compartment is a small reception room with a bedroom inside. When Bai Jinyu entered, Su Ce was on the main seat of the reception room. When he saw Bai Jinyu, he immediately stood up and looked her up and down, and said in surprise: "Why are you dressing up? Where have you been?"

Bai Jinyu then realized that she was still wearing a night-distance dress!

How does this explain?

She hesitated for a moment and decided to skip the question directly. Instead, she asked Su Ce directly: "Su Lihua has been missing for a month. Is this true?"

Su Ce and Wen Ruolan were panicked, and they looked at each other. Wen Ruolan walked up and said, "Jinyu, I was about to tell you about this..."

There is no need for Wen Ruolan to say further, Bai Jinyu already knew the facts. She waved her hand and signaled that she didn't need to say more. Then she asked: "The letter I received in Luzhou ten days ago, the invitation called Su Lihua, must not be from her!"

Wen Ruolan said: "No, that letter was indeed written by Su Lihua."

Bai Jinyu was a little confused: "But, by time, she should have been missing long ago at that time. How could she still write such a letter to me?"

Wen Ruolan muttered for a moment and said, "That's Lihua seems to have already expected all this!"

Bai Jinyu: "Expected? What to expect?"

A layer of mist finally appeared in Wen Ruolan's eyes. Seeing her like this, Su Ce walked up to gently stroke her shoulders, and Wen Ruolan approached Su Ce's heart.

Seeing this scene, Bai Jinyu couldn't help feeling a little chest tightness. She said, "If you have something to say, when is it?"

Su Ce stroked Wen Ruolan and said, "Lihua had expected that one day she would disappear. We only found out afterwards."

Bai Jinyu said: "Please tell me."

Su Ce helped Wen Ruolan sit down, turned around and said, "On the first day of last month, Lihua went to Guanyin Temple in the suburbs to burn incense, and then she went there and never returned. We sent more than a hundred people to find her that day, but after searching for her for three days, she found nothing."
