Chapter 162 Taming
After hearing Su Ruo's words, Guihua's expression immediately changed, but she returned to normal and said: "It's just an ordinary gadget. It's not worth much and can't catch the eye of a girl."
Su Ruo had made up her mind to see it, but how could she be put off by her two words: "I just like it and want to take a look."
"This..." Hesitation and embarrassment flashed across Guihua's face. At this time, Yan Jiu also looked over. He looked at Guihua and Su Ruo with some doubts, and felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange.
"Aunt Gui won't show it to me, right?" Su Ruo said with a smile, with a bottomless coldness in her eyes.
Guihua knew that Su Ruo had made up her mind and had to see it, so she gritted her teeth and said, "It's not that I don't want to show it to you, Miss. Actually, this bell is the relic of my dead child. It is also his favorite thing during his lifetime. It is his most important thing in this world." It was the only thought left to me, so I always carry it with me and never leave it."
Yan Jiu understood Osmanthus fragrans instantly. If this was the case, then this bell had a special meaning to Osmanthus fragrans. It would be understandable if she didn't want to show it to Su Ruo.
The smile on Su Ruo's lips became even colder. In order to prevent herself from looking at the bell, she took great pains and even used the excuse of a dead child.
If someone else had talked about it to this point, they would definitely not read it.
After all, it is the relic of his son, and he is obviously unwilling to see it. It would be rude to insist on seeing it.
But Su Ruo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Gui, I'll just check and it won't be damaged."
Yan Jiu was a little dissatisfied with Su Ruo's actions, but Su Ruo was his most beloved disciple after all, and he always followed the rules. He rarely acted so childishly, so he swallowed his words again.
He was just thinking to himself. After all, Su Ruo is still a child. It's rare for her to find something she likes. If she is arrogant, just be arrogant!
Su Ruo didn't know what her master was thinking. She picked up the bell and looked at it carefully. It was obviously a very small one, but when Su Ruo took it in her hand, it felt heavy and cold, with complex inscriptions on it. The dragon pattern and traditional Chinese characters cannot be seen at all if you don’t look carefully.
But other than that, there seemed to be nothing special about it. Su Ruo waved it in front of the Master's wife, but there was no change in the Master's wife.
Su Ruo tried a few more times, but the mistress still did what she was supposed to do without being affected at all.
Su Ruo frowned. She didn't know if she was thinking too much, or if the bell was useless in her own hands and was only useful in the hands of special people.
Just when Su Ruo was stunned, Guihua said, "Miss Su, can you return the bell to me?"
Su Ruo finally came to her senses and handed the bell back: "Thank you, this gourd is very beautiful."
"It's just a kid's thing." Osmanthus said casually, but where others couldn't see it, there was a sarcastic smile on her lips.
Yan Jiu saw Su Ruo still staring at the bell and said with a smile: "If you like it, ask your third senior brother to find some for you later. He is best at finding these weird things."
Su Ruo knew that the master had misunderstood, but said with a smile: "Okay."
At night, Su Ruo was lying on the bed, turning sideways and looking at the sleeping master's wife beside her. The events of the day were still lingering in her mind.
Ever since Master Niang woke up, she has been sleeping with Su Ruo. It can be said that except when Su Ruo was in class, Master Niang was almost always with her. At this time, Su Ruo looked at Master Niang's almost perfect face and fell into deep thought.
If Osmanthus was a man, Su Ruo could still suspect that she was plotting something against the Master. But she was a woman, and Su Ruo really couldn't figure out what her purpose was in deliberately getting close to the Master.
In the days that followed, Su Ruo observed Osmanthus fragrans more carefully, but Osmanthus fragrans never used the bell again and behaved very normally.
But Su Ruo's inner doubts were not dispelled. That day, Su Ruo was sitting in the cafeteria. When she was thinking about something, Si Yannian suddenly appeared in front of her and asked, "The food in the cafeteria is not delicious." ?”
Only then did Su Ruo come back to her senses and found that she had stirred the food with chopsticks for a long time without moving a single bite. "Oh, no." Just as Su Ruo was about to move his chopsticks, Si Yannian took the food to him, and Si Yannian finished Su Ruo's food in just a few strokes.
Then, he pushed a food box in front of Su Ruo. When Su Ruo opened it, it was filled with food cooked by Master Wang.
Su Ruo's eyes lit up when she smelled the aroma of the food. She had thought about the food cooked by Master Wang for a long time after eating it last time.
After all, he worked as an imperial cook in the palace, and his cooking skills are definitely not comparable to those of ordinary people.
Now that she can eat the food cooked by Master Wang again, Su Ruo will naturally not be polite. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating. The moment she entered the food, all the worries in Su Ruo's heart disappeared.
Si Yannian looked at Su Ruo and couldn't help but curse in his heart. He was really heartless. He knew he was angry but didn't even try to comfort him.
But after seeing the dark circles under Su Ruo's eyes, the resentment in Si Yannian's heart immediately disappeared and was replaced by heartache.
Su Ruo quickly finished the two plates of food. She touched her bulging belly and felt unprecedented satisfaction.
Si Yannian then asked: "Tell me! What happened to you?"
Su Ruo asked in surprise: "Did I show it so obviously?"
Si Yannian rolled his eyes and said, "With such big dark circles under your eyes, I wouldn't have been able to guess that there was something on your mind unless I was blind."
Su Ruo smiled and said: "I do have something to ask you for help. My master hired a nanny to take care of my wife. I think there is something wrong with her and I want you to check it out for me."
If possible, Su Ruo didn't want to trouble Si Yannian, but she really didn't have the manpower suitable for investigation now.
Si Yannian asked Su Ruo some basic information about Osmanthus fragrans and told her to wait for the news.
Su Ruo was a little surprised that Si Yannian agreed so quickly, and asked in surprise: "Don't you even ask me why?"
Si Yannian asked back: "Didn't you already tell her that she has a problem?"
Facing Si Yannian's unreasonable trust, Su Ruo was speechless for a moment.
Si Yannian sat up more upright: "Maybe you want to talk to me, I'm willing to listen."
It was rare for Si Yannian to look serious, and Su Ruo didn't show any pretense and directly stated all his doubts.
Si Yannian frowned after hearing this: "Since if you have doubts in your heart, go check it out. You have to trust your sixth sense. If you subconsciously feel that there is something wrong with this person, just trust your intuition. And in this world On the other hand, not everything can be explained scientifically, such as some spells that harm people."
Su Ruo suddenly understood. She had been struggling with Guihua's motives and the rationality of this matter, but she had forgotten that some things in this world were simply unreasonable.
Su Ruo thought of Guan Yue almost immediately, and she had a suspicion in her heart that maybe Guan Yue could answer her doubts.
"I know, I'm leaving first." After Su Ruo said that, she left quickly. She couldn't wait for a moment now and couldn't wait to know the answer.
Si Yannian looked at Su Ruo's leaving figure, her beautiful face reflected in the sunlight, the corners of his lips slightly curved, and he silently cursed in his heart: "You really have no conscience!"
