Chapter 102 Secret
Su Wan looked at the profile with a sullen expression, feeling a little reluctant. Only Xie Yin knew why he went to those brothels, and only he knew who he had killed.
But after all, she couldn't give Xie Yin what he wanted, so she had no right to comfort him. So, Su Wan swallowed what she wanted to say.
Su Wan smiled bitterly, "I don't need my uncle to be proud of me, but I know why he's angry. If he didn't question me, I'd be uneasy."
Xie Yin stared at Su Wan, "What's next?"
"What's next?" Su Wan looked at Xie Yin and said, "From now on, you are you, and I am me."
Xie Yin's eyes darkened and his brows furrowed.
“What I mean is, you don’t have to worry about the conflict between me and my uncle, but you need to take a step further with the Su family.”
Xie Yin's expression softened, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He had come today to discuss this matter with Su Wan, but he was afraid that finding Su Yanshu would cause further conflict between uncle and nephew, so he asked her to be prepared.
"Have you found the woman from Qimenglou?"
Xie Yin nodded, "My people are contacting her. Her name is Ru Meng. I heard that she doesn't fight or compete, and has a low-key personality."
Su Wan smiled faintly, "Then it seems she must be very beautiful. Otherwise, how could such a personality attract Liu Yuting's obsession?"
"I have never seen her. If you want to know, you can ask Xiao Yucheng." Xie Yin said, looking at the night sky.
After hearing Xie Yin's mention, Su Wan remembered that she didn't see Xiao Yucheng pestering Fang Jinyue today.
"I heard Xiao Yucheng say that Xie Shousi went there with him before. How could he not have seen him?"
Xie Yin turned around abruptly, his face a little embarrassed. "Why would he tell you this?" Xie Yin hurriedly explained, "I'm only going to avoid suspicion. Could it be that I'm trying to understand who she is and has actually contacted her? Let Cang Yi and Xiao Yucheng go."
Thinking of something, Xie Yin's face showed a mischievous expression, "You don't want me to go? Then I won't go."
Now it was Su Wan's turn to be embarrassed. "I'm afraid Chief Xie misunderstood what I meant. I just want to know what kind of person Ru Meng is."
"She is a woman, with a nose and eyes, a normal person." Xie Yin said casually. He looked at Su Wan and smiled suddenly, which made Su Wan puzzled.
"Xie Shousi, what are you laughing at?"
Xie Yin raised the corner of his mouth and tilted his head to look at the opposite side, his eyes becoming more and more fiery. Su Wan stood up and turned his eyes away, not wanting to respond.
"Aunt." The soft and sweet voice made the two of them turn around suddenly. Su Wan smiled and opened her arms, and Yue Ning bumped into Su Wan's arms with a "hehe".
"Thank you, hero. Did you come to see what delicious food I brought?"
Su Wan raised her eyebrows, and when she looked at the person next to her, her eyes lit up with surprise. Then, she raised her lips and said, "Thank you, hero?"
Xie Yin looked away in embarrassment. He had been associated with the image of a "knight" all his life, so his conscience wouldn't hurt. But Cang Yi clutched his chest, feeling somewhat ashamed.
"So you won't need acupuncture anymore in the future?" Xie Yin looked at Su Wan's face, and Yue Ning also looked up at Su Wan, only to see that the original purple-red birthmark had completely disappeared.
"Yuening, do you think my aunt is beautiful?" Xie Yin raised his eyebrows.
Yuening nodded vigorously, "Beautiful, beautiful, aunt is the most beautiful in the world."
Su Wan's eyes flashed. It was the first time in her life that she had anything to do with the word "beauty".
"Master Xie, do you have anything else to tell me?" Su Wan deliberately covered her birthmark with her hands and looked probingly.
Xie Yin rested one hand on the steps and the other on his knee. He looked lazy but his eyes looked a little unnatural.
"Which side do you want to hear?"
Su Wan glared at him. Although this was the Su family's family affair, Su Wan was sure that Xie Yin knew something, so she had nothing to worry about.
"You always asked me what my family thought of my birthmark. You must know something, right?"
Su Wan looked straight at Xie Yin, only to see Xie Yin lowering his eyes, thinking of the threat Yunniang had made to him before her death.
"Do you really have to know? Some things don't have to be understood."
"But I want to know." Su Wan said firmly.
Even though Su Si Niang is dead now, Su Wan remembers that her father committed suicide in his previous life when there was still room for maneuver. There must be things she doesn't know about during that time. Knowing more can help her prevent problems before they happen.
"I only know that your birthmark came from a strange place, and that old Taoist refused to tell me. But Yunniang seemed to know something. The person behind it might have known about our relationship and wanted to use this to threaten me and make me let her go. But she had no intention of telling me, so I had no choice but to kill her."
If Su Wan's secret is a constraint to her, then there is no need to make it known to the world.
"Originally, this is your secret. I have no right to investigate. If you want to know, I can check it out."
"I want to!" Su Wan said without hesitation.
Xie Yin's eyes changed slightly, "As you wish."
next day
Su Wan and Fang Jinyue came to Mingxiangxuan. They wanted to meet Rumeng here.
Xie Yin has already persuaded Ru Meng to cooperate with them, but Su Wan feels that if Fang Jinyue meets Ru Meng, she might trust them more.
Many dignitaries would often invite the ladies from Qimenglou to sing in the private rooms of Mingxiangxuan. Xie Yin invited Rumeng to come over in the name of Xiao Yucheng.
"Madam, Madam Rumeng is here."
Su Wan: "Please come in."
After a while, a graceful woman in pink clothes walked in with lotus steps.
"Greetings to the two ladies." When he looked up, he saw Su Wan and Fang Jinyue staring at him in a daze.
Rumeng lowered her head and bowed again with a shy look on her face.
Su Wan came back to her senses and hurriedly asked everyone to sit down. "I've only heard rumors about you, but now that I see you, you're truly like a goddess descending from heaven."
Rumeng took off her veil and sat down at the table with a smile, "Thank you for your compliments, ladies. I never thought you two would take the initiative to ask me out."
Fang Jinyue was puzzled, "Why not?"
"I'm a prostitute. Although I sell my art and not my body, in the eyes of others, I'm already an unclean person. If others knew that you two ladies took the initiative to invite me, I'm afraid your reputations would be tarnished."
Fang Jinyue sneered, "I'm a commoner. I usually run a small business to support myself. To those people, I'm just an ant that can be crushed to death at any time."
Su Wan said, "I am a divorced woman. I used to have blemishes on my face and was considered ugly by others."
Rumeng stared across at the opposite side in a daze.
Seeing that people were no longer nervous, Su Wan smiled and said, "The three of us are all eccentrics, and there is no saying that one is nobler than the other. I believe that the person who invited you this time should have made it clear to you, so I won't beat around the bush." Su Wan said frankly.
After all, sincerity is the sure winner.
Rumeng pursed her lips and nodded, "I know."
"Are you afraid of it?"
Rumeng lowered her eyes and smiled softly, "I no longer know what fear is. I was born into a family of officials. I was only four when my family was convicted, and even then I witnessed cruelty. I was sold to Qimeng Tower at the age of ten. During those seven years, I witnessed every ups and downs of life. My heart gradually grew numb, and I no longer knew the meaning of existence. It wasn't until someone found me that I realized I still had value."
Ru Meng raised her eyes and looked at the people opposite her. "I envy you."
Su Wan lowered her eyes, a complex mood forming for a moment. She opened her mouth to offer comfort, but then she heard Liu Shang come in and say Zheng Yanchen wanted to see her. Su Wan immediately decided to let the two of them chat while she went to hold Zheng Yanchen back.
She stood up, opened the door and was about to step out when she suddenly saw a man's figure passing by.
