When Su Xi came out of the forest, her face turned pale and her temples were loose. She really looked very frightened.

The people outside the forest looked for her for a long time.

Since Lu Jianghuai threw her away, he searched the two forks, but still couldn't find her. Later, he went back to tell Su Li and Su Xu. Su Li and Su Xu hurriedly transferred people from the villa and searched along the back mountain. In just a while, almost all the back mountain was turned over, but because Su Xi's location was too remote, she was never found.

Su Li and the others were anxious, worried that if they could not find Su Xi before dark, it would be even more dangerous.

Seeing Su Xi walk out of the forest, everyone is both surprised and happy, and then breathe a sigh of relief. Su Li takes Su Xi to a safe place and asks: "Youyou, how did you come back? Where is the horse just now?"

Su Xi was wrapped in Su Li's dark green bamboo-shaped cloak. Thinking about what Wei Qing taught her, she explained: "I was taken to a forest by a horse and then dumped it. Later, I saw that the place was not far from the horse farm, so I walked back along the road."

Su Li said worriedly: "I was dumped by a horse? Have you ever been injured?"

Su Xi spread her hands and raised them in front of Su Li, pointed to her legs again, and said, "My hands are worn out, and my legs can't move...Brother, I want to go home."

Seeing that she was not seriously injured, Su Li nodded and said, "Okay, let's go home, I'll take you home."

Su Xi never wanted to ride a horse anymore, so Su Li ordered people to prepare a carriage. At this time, the Lu brothers and sisters walked up to him, and Lu Huishu said guiltily: "Young and young, I shouldn't be young. I said I wanted to teach you riding a horse, but in the end I didn't take good care of you and made you do something like this. Just blame me... Otherwise, I would be really sorry."

Su Xi said generously: "Sister Shu doesn't know that the horse will lose control. How can you blame you for this? It's just that I don't seem to have a lot of fate with the horse. I almost had an accident last time at the Jingxi Horse Farm. This time it's like this... It seems that I can't ride a horse anymore, otherwise I don't know what other accidents will happen."

Lu Huishu remembered that the time in Jingxi Horse Farm was also because of the two brothers and sisters. Although the horse was taken by Wan Pingweng, the two times they were linked to were related to the two brothers and sisters. I felt even more guilty when I thought about it.

Su Xi didn't think so. She still liked Lu Huishu from the bottom of her heart, but one thing couldn't be understood, "Didn't Brother Lu say that the horse is very docile? Why did it suddenly lose control?"

She remembered that there was nothing unusual around her at that time, and she saw that the horse was still fine at the moment, but suddenly went crazy the next moment, without any signs, and suddenly rushed forward. So Su Xi was completely shocked.

Looking back now, I still feel scared.

Su Xi didn't suspect Lu Jianghuai. Although she didn't have much contact with Lu Jianghuai, from the few times she got along, she knew that he was open and honest and would never deliberately harm her, and he had no reason to harm her.

It is precisely because of this that Su Xi can't figure out what's going on.

Lu Jianghuai stood aside and thought for a moment, but he still told the story of a blood worm sucking behind the horse at that time. The name of that kind of worm is called a blood fly, which specializes in sucking the blood of humans or animals. Once it is bitten, it is difficult to get rid of it. It is because the horse wants to get rid of this creature that it keeps running until it dies out of strength.

After hearing this, Su Xi suddenly realized and said fearfully, "...So that's the case."

Lu Jianghuai was silent. He did not tell Su Xi that the blood flies would only appear in the swamp, because he didn't want her to think too much. He always felt that a clean and simple girl like Su Xi should be protected by others, and the pickled truth behind her would defile her.

Soon after, Su Li prepared the carriage, Su Xi said goodbye to Lu Huishu and Lu Jianghuai, and got on the carriage and returned to the villa.

After returning to the other yard, Tingyan and Tinghe and the others were so scared that their hearts stopped when they saw her hair loose and she was wrapped in a man's clothes. Su Xi didn't care to explain to them that because there were so many things happening today, she was tired and afraid, so she lay on the bed and fell asleep until the morning of the next day.

On this side, Lu Jianghuai came to the Su family courtyard early in the morning to visit Su Li.

Su Li sat in the rosewood rose chair, holding the teacup tightened his hand, "You mean, someone is going to deliberately murder young girls?"

Lu Jianghuai stood in front of him with a serious expression and said, "Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the blood-blooded flies appeared by the stream." Seeing Su Li pondering, he thought for a while and said, "Does Brother Su know that Miss Ninth had ever made enemies with whom?"

Su Li thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Young and Youth are gentle and have never had a direct conflict with others. If it is true that Youth is murdered by someone, why does this person harm her?"

Lu Jianghuai also couldn't understand this. Since Su Xi had never made any enemies with others, who was cruel to treat her like this? He hesitated and said, "Since it's not a grudge, can it be targeted at the Su family..."

It’s not that there is no such possibility. The Su family is favored by the holy grace. Emperor Zhaoyuan’s preference for the Su family has been too obvious in recent years. After the old man suffered a stroke, he was admitted to retire. He specially asked Eunuch Chang, who was most valued by his side, to come to express his condolences, but also planned to support Su Zhi to fill the vacancy of the old man. In this way, it will inevitably arouse jealousy among people in the officialdom.

But Su Xi is a soft and weak girl in the boudoir. What benefits will it be for the other party if she murders her?

Su Li couldn't let Su Xi suffer for no reason, and stood up and said, "Jianghuai, can you find that out of control? I want to check if there is any abnormality on the horse."

Lu Jianghuai said: "Brother Su, don't worry, I have ordered people to search for it. There should be news soon."

An hour later, the people sent by Lu Jianghuai came back to report—

The horse rushed to the edge of the cliff and fell down from the cliff. When they went to the bottom of the cliff to search, the horse was already broken to pieces and could not find any clues on it.

Su Li clenched his fists and showed a disobedience for the first time. He said hatefully: "The other party must be a scheming person."

Seeing this, Lu Jianghuai comforted him: "Brother Lu doesn't have to do this. Maybe I thought too much. The blood flies were just an accident, and it was not someone who wanted to murder Miss Ninth..." But even he himself didn't believe this.

Su Li investigated for a day without any results. He was worried that Su Xi would have another accident when he lived in the villa. Early the next morning, he asked someone to go back to the general's mansion and sent Su Xi and his men back to the capital.

On the way back, Su Xi begged Su Li not to tell Yin about this. She didn't want her mother to worry. Last time when she fell from Qingshui Mountain, Yin didn't sleep well for several days and nights, and often woke up from nightmares at night. This time, my father and second brother were far away from the pass, and Yin was worried that she couldn't sleep at night. If she knew that something happened to her, she would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Su Li thought about it and agreed.

After returning home, Yin asked them why they came back so early, "Didn't they say they planned to stay in a different hospital for a month or two?"

Su Xi sat next to Yin and said sweetly: "I miss my mother, so I came back quickly."

Yin smiled and looked at her nose with a look of "I don't know you yet", "Does it feel uncomfortable to live there, or is the dish made in the kitchen not good?"

Su Xi said coquettishly, but deliberately did not refute.

Su Xi lived in Hualutianxiang for the next few days. No matter how hot she was, she never heard her complain. Of course, her home was safer than the other courtyard.

During this period, there was a banquet held by Duke Rongguo’s mansion. Su Xi was frightened and had not yet recovered, so she refused on the excuse.

Unexpectedly, Fu Shaoyun and Fu Yi came to the general's mansion to see her on the next day.

A grape trellis is set up in the yard with the fragrance of flowers. In midsummer, you can cool down and eat fresh grapes. Su Xi was sitting under the grape trellis fiddling with her baby Lu Qiqin, and then he heard Yan say that Fu Shaoyun and Fu Yi came over. As soon as they stood up, they had already arrived at the gate of the yard.

When Yan heard that the two of them were invited in, Su Xi smiled politely and said, "Why did Shaoyun's cousin and Sister Yi come?"

Fu Shaoyun wore a royal blue robe and smiled handsomely: "I heard that you were not feeling well, so I came to see you with Sister Yi. What's wrong? But is it hot and hot again?"

Su Xi said, "I just feel a little uncomfortable, and I also bothered my cousin Shaoyun and Sister Yi to go there in person." Speaking of this, I remembered the last time when Fu Shaoyun helped her buy lotus leaf herbal tea, and said, "I really bothered my cousin Shaoyun last time."

Fu Shaoyun disagreed and said, "It's just a simple task."

When Fu Yi came in, she saw Su Xi playing the piano. She smiled slightly and said, "Is cousin Xi playing the piano? Speaking of this, she seems to have never heard you play any music. I don't know how Sister Xi's piano is." As she said that, her eyes fell on Su Xi's piano placed on the picnic table of vermilion-lacquered mother-of-pearl. After seeing the piano clearly, her smile condensed and her voice changed a little, "Lu Qiqiqin?"

Fu Yi obviously recognized this piano as well.

Su Xi nodded slightly, not wanting to talk about this with Fu Yi, so she naturally changed the topic: "It's too hot outside, let's go to the house to sit down. I asked Tinghe to make some sour plum soup to serve, which will help Shaoyun's cousin and sister Yi to relieve the heat."

Although Su Xi called Fu Shaoyun to call him cousin, it was not easy for him to enter his boudoir, so she treated them in the flower hall next to her.

After hearing He brought Sushan Sour Plum Sour Sour Soup, Fu Yi was still thinking about the Lu Qiqin she saw just now, and had no intention of touching her mouth. She recovered from the shock just now, and asked carefully: "Sister Xi's piano just now is the Lu Qiqin, one of the four famous pianos?"

Su Xi blinked and said, "Sister Yi knows you too?"

This is what admitting means.

Fu Yi tightened her hands holding the teacup, and forced a smile and said, "Of course I know... I just heard that the piano is placed in the pavilion of Long'an Mountain, and there are people guarding it all year round. For some reason, it appears here with Sister Xi?"

To be honest, Su Xi didn't know much about it. There must be more people in the world who play the piano than her. She is very self-aware and knows that she is definitely not the best player. She still hasn't figured out why the zither guard gave her Lu Qiqin. She said, "When Sister Qi and I were climbing the mountain, I happened to pass by the pavilion. Seeing Lu Qiqin in the pavilion, I couldn't help but play a song. The next day, someone sent the piano over."

After hearing this, Fu Yi didn't say anything. She had heard that there was a green qin in Long'an Mountain, and she had to try it almost every year, hoping to get the recognition of the person who kept the qin. But after two or three years, she returned empty-handed every time. She thought she was playing well, at least better than Su Xi, but why did that person give the green qin to Su Xi alone, but not to herself?

On this end, Fu Shaoyun was even more sure that the girl who played the piano that day was Su Xi, and she felt mixed feelings for a moment.

He never knew that Su Xi could play the piano, and he didn't know that her piano sound was so wonderful.

It turned out that before I knew it, the pink and tender little fat dumpling that was stretched out his arms to ask for snacks had grown so outstandingly.
