Chapter 116 Despair

Su Mixue was struck by lightning, struggling desperately, shouting towards Dingyuan Marquis Mansion: "Save me, someone come and save me! Daddy, mother, I don't want to die, please save me--"

"Mmm..."

Su Mixue's mouth was blocked.

The servant dragged her onto the carriage, immediately blocked her mouth with a rag, and tied her hands and feet with hemp rope.

"It's useless for you to shout, I am acting on the orders of the prince, who dares to save you?" The nanny took the embroidery needle and stabbed Su Mixue, sneering: "I am waiting for you to beat me to death!"

Su Mixue curled up in pain, twitching all over.

The old nanny looked fierce and drew a long bloody mark on her face. This face was ruined, which completely cut off her future.

Su Mixue's eyes were wide open, her eyeballs seemed to be popping out of their sockets, tears flowed out in big drops, and her eyes were full of despair.

——

Su Wan hung the curtain on the wall of the carriage, resting one hand on the window sill and playing with the jade hairpin given to her by Gu Huaizhi with the other hand.

The gentle breeze blew on her face, and her thoughts drifted away.

The hairpin was a token of love, and this man gave her two. One was a wooden hairpin carved by hand, and the other was a jade hairpin.

She turned her eyes and looked at the man beside her.

He lay on the carriage blanket casually, with one hand supporting his head, his black and soft hair spread all over the floor, and his sleeping face was particularly gentle, less cold and distant than usual.

Su Wan got off the stool, sat cross-legged beside him, with her elbows on her knees, holding her chin and staring at his face. When she got closer, she found that his eyelashes were long and curled, which made her feel like being scratched by a cat's claws, and she wanted to touch them with her hands.

Thinking of this, Su Wan really did it. The moment her fingers touched his eyelashes, she was held by a cold hand and pulled away with great force. Su Wan fell down with an unstable center of gravity.

Gu Huaizhi opened his hands and Su Wan fell into his arms. He brushed the hair that fell on her face, with a faint and elegant flower fragrance.

"What are you doing?" Gu Huaizhi's voice was hoarse from just waking up.

Su Wan looked into his slightly hazy eyes, which were clear and bright, without the usual darkness and sharpness, and made people feel soft in their hearts.

She stretched out a finger and poked his cheek: "Your eyelashes are so long, I just want to touch them out of curiosity." As soon as the voice fell, Su Wan bumped into his dark eyes, and her heart suddenly beat faster. She pursed her lips: "Will you touch it?"

Gu Huaizhi stared at her red lips, "No." He flipped her over and raised his hand to pinch her nose: "Behave yourself."

Su Wan curled her lips. It was indeed more comfortable to lie down than to sit. She simply lay on the blanket.

This man is too angry and is still angry about Jiuyu's bracelet.

She hooked the bracelet on her wrist and took it off, and "slapped" it into his palm: "Okay, okay, you can keep it for me, okay?"

Gu Huaizhi looked at the bracelet in his palm and his eyebrows jumped. Let him keep the bracelet given to her by another man?

Throwing it into the fire pit and burning it would be considered his kindness.

Gu Huaizhi said with a headache: "Su Wan, be more careful."

He threw the bracelet over.

Su Wan took the bracelet and watched Gu Huaizhi sitting on a stool, taking out a book to read. She lowered her eyebrows and looked at the bracelet in her palm, stroking the two words "Jiu Yu" engraved on the beads with her thumb.

Jiu Yu's origin is unknown, and the book has vaguely revealed that he does not seem to be a native of the Great Zhou.

Su Wan sighed. She did not want to establish a strong enemy, so she had to find his sister before Su Mixue.

She stuffed the bracelet into her sleeve pocket.

Gu Huaizhi's tightly clenched lips slightly loosened, and his bony fingers turned a page of the book.

Su Wan sat down beside him, touching his arm with her arm, with a pair of dark and bright eyes: "Eh? Why did you give me a jade hairpin?"

Gu Huaizhi didn't even blink, and said calmly: "You are the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, wearing a wooden hairpin is too shabby."

Su Wan broke the casserole to get to the bottom of it: "Then why did you give me a wooden hairpin?"

Gu Huaizhi paused as he turned the pages of the book, raised his head, and stared at her calmly: "Does a husband and wife need a reason to give gifts?"

"..."

Su Wan was speechless.

Gu Huaizhi saw her angrily facing him with the back of her head, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He was about to say something.

The carriage suddenly shook violently, and he suddenly grabbed Su Wan's arm, protecting the back of her head with his palm.

"Bang——"

Su Wan's head hit the wall of the carriage, and she didn't feel any pain at all. She turned her head, Gu Huaizhi had already let go of her and lifted the curtain: "What's going on?"

Mo Chen hurriedly said: "Mr. Gu, there is a girl lying in the middle of the road."

Gu Huaizhi's eyebrows sank, looking at the young woman on the ground. If the horse's hoof moved an inch further, it would break her neck.

"Lift her away."

Gu Huaizhi threw down the curtain.

Su Wan frowned: "The little girl seems to be unconscious, I'll go see her."

She jumped off the carriage with a neat movement, ran towards the girl, and instructed Mo Chen to carry her to the side of the road.

Gu Huaizhi was worried about Su Wan, so he got off the carriage.

Mo Chen moved the girl to the side of the road.

Su Wan squatted beside the girl, took her hand to feel her pulse, frowned, and looked at her skinny hand.

This person was malnourished for a long time, weak, and fainted from hunger.

"Mo Chen, go get a pot of water and a pack of snacks from the carriage." Su Wan put down the girl's hand, lifted her head, brushed away the hair that blocked her face, revealing a palm-sized face with sunken eye sockets, sallow skin, white foam at the corners of her mouth, dirty, and unable to see her original appearance.

"Here." Mo Chen handed over the water bag.

Su Wan opened her mouth and stuffed the mouth of the water bag into her mouth.

The girl tasted the water and swallowed it unconsciously.

After drinking half a bag of water, she finally woke up. A pair of beautiful eyes, as clear as autumn water, staring at Su Wan confusedly and ignorantly.

The girl blinked her eyes, and suddenly her pupils shrank. She climbed up from Su Wan's arms in a panic, like a frightened deer in the forest. She was wet and panicked, and knelt down opposite Su Wan, clutching her clothes anxiously, and asked stutteringly: "Is it...you who saved me?"

Su Wan stuffed the water bag and a bag of snacks into her arms: "You fainted from hunger, fill your stomach first." She looked at the woman staring blankly at the food in her hands. The straw sandals on her feet were worn out, and a layer of dark brown blood scabs mixed with mud and sand formed on the soles of her feet. It hurt to look at them. Su Wan whispered: "Where are you going? If it's on the way, we'll give you a ride."

"No, no, no... no need." Jiuge glanced at the carriage, and then pulled her tattered and sloppy clothes, shrank back, and said vigilantly: "We're not on the way." She pointed in the opposite direction: "I...I'm going over there."
