The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 188

She was flattered, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and slowly opened her mouth. "My surname is Sun, and Shui Ling is my first name."

"Is it the real name? Could it be?" Su Min tentatively asked with a calm expression. "Any other names?"

She shook her head and frowned, "Shui Ling doesn't understand Madam's words."

"I'm a little curious about your family background, Shui Ling, can you tell me about it?" Su Min sniffed the scent of scented tea in his hand, and smiled softly.

"It's not a big deal, Madam wants to hear it, so I'll just say it." Sure enough, Shui Ling didn't have much scheming, and carefully picked up the teacup in her hand. It was not clear tea, but beautiful jasmine tea.The faint fragrance made her feel very familiar. It seemed that Su Min's body, like a flower, exuded a fresh fragrance.Looking at this woman who seemed to come out of a painting, Shui Ling couldn't help being slightly distracted, and let go of all guards. "My family is very poor and my family members are sick, so I went to Xiushui Pavilion to do odd jobs two years ago."

'How would you want to do things there? Su Min asked in a low voice without flickering eyes.

"Working in Xiushui Pavilion, the salary is double that of other places. When serving wine and dishes, if you meet a generous man, you can get a small penny or two. I use all this money to supplement my family. I just want to live like this, do my own thing, eat my own food, and don’t feel uneasy about my conscience. Even if others see me differently, I feel at ease.” Shui Ling’s smile was bitter, and some people were talking about her background behind her back. Not innocent, and now no one in the palace cares about her.But she doesn't want to wipe out her own past. She won't hide where she came from.

Su Min's heart tightened, she put down the teacup in her hand, and asked softly, without any condescension from her master. "What happened at home then?"

"My elder brother who was working as a long-term worker suddenly had an accident and has been paralyzed at home, so the burden on the family has become even heavier. After hearing the news, the mother of Xiushuige came to me, hoping to let me be a girl, so I agreed. In half a year, I learned the ability to dance, and my mother saw that I had learned it, so she wanted to push me out as a signboard, but fortunately I met the Holy One." She still feels that she is lucky, otherwise she would be reduced to a brothel girl, and she can't blame her fate.

Seeing the twinkle in Shui Ling's eyebrows, a sense of responsibility flashed across Su Min's heart, he changed the subject, and asked again. "Have you been in the countryside of Los Angeles since you were a child?"

"Yes, Madam, why do you ask such a question?" Shui Ling was curious, so she couldn't help asking.

Su Min looked straight into the pair of Qingshui eyes that were somewhat similar to his own, and asked in a low voice. "Do you remember what happened before you were six or seven years old?"

"Ma'am." Shui Ling didn't understand Su Min's intention, so she let out a low voice, confused.

"I'm just asking casually. I don't mean anything malicious. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to say anything." Su Min didn't want to reveal the Zhou family's background too early. Miss Zhou.Her eyes sank, and she asked lightly.

Shui Ling took a sip of scented tea and said casually. "It's nothing. My parents said that I had a high fever when I was a child. They couldn't afford to find a doctor, so they wasted their time. Although they rescued me in the end, my brain was too confused, so I don't remember much."

"Do you still have an impression of the name Zhou Qiaoru?" She asked in a low voice, but seeing Shui Ling's unchanging expression, she couldn't help but smile, changed the subject, grabbed Shui Ling's hand, and walked quickly to the courtyard .

"By the way, Shui Ling, I'll take you to a place."

After going around in a circle, she brought Shui Ling to the racecourse. After Su Min clapped her hands, seeing the attendant lead two horses, Shui Ling's complexion changed drastically, and she shouted. "Ah, ma'am, I grew up in the countryside. How could I know how to ride a horse? That's what a young lady from a rich family can do. I only know how to dance. Don't make things difficult for me."

Su Min sat on the back of the horse, and signaled with his eyes for the servants to help Shui Ling sit on the other horse, with a bright smile on his face. "Anyway, just take it as a companion to me. If you don't know how, I'll teach you."

"Ma'am, don't you really know as much as I do?" Shui Ling finally climbed onto the horse, silently looking at Su Min at the side, her calm riding posture really made her envious.

Seeing that Su Min didn't wrong herself at all, Shui Ling felt embarrassed. "Shui Ling was too aggressive last time, I hope Madam forgive me."

"Don't worry, this is a tame horse, you can ride it." Su Min smiled and spoke calmly.

Under the guidance of the groom's words, Shui Ling lost her greenness and became more and more bold, and her horse riding movements were not unfamiliar, and gradually became more proficient. She laughed and shouted: "It's weird, it doesn't seem difficult!"

"It's not that it's not difficult, but you used to be good at it. You were a little girl raising horses and riding horses when you were young, but you don't remember it." Su Min looked at her figure and murmured in a low voice.

"Ma'am, what are you talking about?" Reining in the rein, Shui Ling asked in confusion.

Su Min mentioned it in one sentence, and clicked to the end. "Shui Ling, I suspect that you may not be the daughter of the Sun family, but lost from home when you were young, and was taken to Jiangnan Luocheng by human traffickers, and survived like this."

"I don't know anymore. I only know that the first day I remember was at Sun's house." Shui Ling was at a loss, and felt that what Su Min said was too absurd.

"I don't think you will know these things unless you ask your parents. Well, I want someone to accompany you to the countryside of Luocheng to find the elders of the Sun family. You can ask them sincerely, even if I doubt Wrong, at least you can feel at ease." Su Min stroked the horse's mane, smiled and spoke softly.

"is that true?"

"Of course, I have already made an appointment with him, and he should be there soon." Su Min looked at the figure of the man who had already arrived at the gate of the racecourse, and whispered.

"Who is he?" Shui Ling followed her gaze, she had met that man once, it was strange to say, the moment she saw Zhou Yan, she thought he was very kind.

"You will know in the future, An Anxin will go with him."

A smile appeared from the corner of Su Min's eyes, her pink lips slightly raised, and she said in a deep voice.

A blue light sedan chair landed at the door of Su's branch shop.

A woman slowly walked out of it. She was wearing a light blue robe, and her body was even more exquisite and slender. She raised her eyes lightly, and immediately moved closer to the gold shopkeeper standing at the door.

"Little master, you are finally back. This dead man, he can't speak clearly when he comes back. I can't do business these days. He said that a man picked you up. The more I think about it, the more I think about it. I'm afraid, the Su family doesn't have any relatives or acquaintances here, if you make a mistake, I can't spare him."

Su Min followed him into the branch shop with a smile on his face. "I'm back, haven't I? Not a single hair is missing."

Seeing Su Min sitting in the inner hall, shopkeeper Jin suddenly remembered that there was still something he hadn't told: "I have an appointment with the master of the Ma family to discuss cooperation the day after tomorrow. Do you think you can spare time?"

"Mr. Ma has agreed, and I can't shirk it." Su Mintan opened his mouth slightly, and took the account book in the hands of the treasurer Jin with a calm expression, carefully reading the number.

"Little boss, this is the signature pastry of Jingcheng Mifang. It is made with honey osmanthus and red beans. It is said that women in the capital like to eat this stuff. In order to thank us for helping them out last time and lending them money to turn around, when they heard about you When I came to the capital, I sent someone to deliver three boxes of the best-selling pastries yesterday, saying that it was a small gesture, and I hope you will accept it." Shopkeeper Jin suddenly thought of something, and took out three boxes from the counter beside him. The exquisite gold-red iron box was brought to Su Min with great interest, with a smile on his face.

"Mifang's pastries can be bought after waiting in line for half a day. I really found a bargain." With a calm expression, Su Min opened an iron box, grabbed a piece of pastry, took a sip, and a smile flashed in his eyes .

She can taste the sweetness of the cakes now.

That's great... It is said that sweetness is the favorite of women. The feeling of sweetness and greasy can give a person a sense of fullness and contentment, as if it is also a taste of happiness. Everything should be sweet, so that people I miss it.

She lowered her eyes silently, but the smile on the corner of her mouth was deep.

When I tasted this taste, I really wanted to share it with that person.

When did it start, this little joy and touch, I don’t want to feel it alone, I want that person to know it too?

"They also said that if the young master likes it, in the future, if the young lady wants to eat every taste of pastry, they will send someone to bring it to you to try." Seeing the smile on Su Min's face, shopkeeper Jin couldn't help but be delighted. He raised his eyebrows and said something.

"Then there's no need to bother."

Su Min smiled, and silently flipped through this month's account book sent by Shopkeeper Jin, with a focused look.

"Little boss, it's getting dark. I've ordered my servants to prepare dinner and clean the room. You can rest at any time." Shopkeeper Jin waited for half a day, but Su Min was too engrossed in watching it. He was ashamed to disturb her.It wasn't until the sun went down that he approached Su Min and asked softly.

"No need, I won't sleep here." Su Min slowly put down the account book in his hand, and just said it.

"Miss, I heard you right. You don't live here, do you want to live in an inn outside? It's not reassuring." He spoke with concern.

"I have my own place to go, so the shopkeeper doesn't have to worry about me. Also, I will show up on time for the meeting with Mr. Ma." Su Min stood up, looked at the pastry on the corner of the table, and looked Take it easy.

"Okay then, I'll send Xiaodangjia out."

When Su Min walked into the palace, it was already dark, and he walked to his study alone. Ling Feng was guarding his door, and the room was also lit, so he should be still inside.

Carrying the pastry box, she gently pushed the door and entered. She stopped at the door and looked into it.
