The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 57

As soon as the light in Ran Xiurong's eyes went out, the atmosphere around her instantly became strange and oppressive. "It's enough medicine to confuse her sense of taste."

"You mean." Su Yu was too surprised when he heard this, and frowned tightly.

Ran Xiurong seemed a little agitated, her phoenix eyes were full of deep color. "Otherwise, how did you win over Su Min, who lived in the Su family since she was a child? She even saw how to make wine with her own grandfather. Do you think she can't do without this little understanding in her nature?"

"I've always been in fear. Even if she hasn't tasted hibiscus wine, she can easily defeat you." Feeling Su Yu's silence, she slowly said that the confused self in the first half of her life finally didn't want to do it again in the second half of her life. Tasting the taste of failure will make such a bad move.

Su Yu disagreed a little, she really didn't understand her mother's purpose, and she didn't understand the stakes in it. "It's just a little game."

Ran Xiurong grabbed Su Yu's hand, her eyes were sharp and she did not relax. "But it has determined your carefree life for these years. With the position you got from this little game, you and I don't need to look at people's faces, and live in the Su family upright."

"Then she?" Before Su Yu's eyes, at this moment, some blurry images seemed to emerge. In her memory, she turned her head and looked at Su Min who was beside her. In the mouth, the originally sweet face lost any expression in an instant, and stood there dumbly, without saying a word for a long time.

Could it be that Su Min couldn't taste anything at that time?

"The strange thing is that she behaved the same as usual at the next dinner table. I don't know whether the medicine has any effect on her. I don't dare to act rashly and do more testing, so as not to let others Suspicious." Ran Xiurong still didn't let go of her hand, she held it tightly, her eyes were burning, as if she wanted to eat people.

With a strange feeling in Su Yu's heart, he raised his eyebrows and raised his voice. "Did she not suspect you at all?"

Ran Xiurong seemed to recall the unbearable past, she closed her eyes, her brows and eyes were filled with hatred. "This is what is really scary about her. From the second day on, she smiled at me without any evasion, no different from those pestering children in the market. She called my mother over and over again, it was so annoying! Later, I finally noticed her strangeness. Several times, she pestered Master Su, saying that she wanted to talk to father and act like a baby. If it wasn't the busiest season for Su's business, I think she would have seized the opportunity to reveal all the truth. Tell Master Su."

"Mom, did you stop her?" Su Yu's heart tightened, and she let out a low voice. At that time, they hadn't gained a firm foothold in the Su family. If Su Min and that man came out together, she couldn't imagine waiting for their mother and daughter. What a punishment.

Ran Xiurong's tone was extremely calm, as calm as a frozen lake. "If I stop her in a hurry, she will be frightened. If she doesn't control it, it will ruin my event even more."

"She will definitely tell the master that there is something wrong with her sense of taste, so of course the biggest suspicion will fall on my head, so in those days, I slept very uneasy. Whenever I think of living in the Su family, I will be with us. When mother and daughter were wandering in the past, there was a world of difference, if this little girl ruins these things, we will have to live that poor life again."

Su Yu's eyes were tightly locked on the face of the woman in front of her. Although her eyes were tightly closed, her harsh words remained undiminished.

With a sudden change of mood, she opened her eyes, and her eyes were full of resentment. "I'm not reconciled. At that time, I just wanted to get rid of this trouble."

"Mom, what did you do again?" Su Yu never thought that these stories back then were all connected, but the closer he got to the truth, the more nervous and urgent he became.

"I went out to find a quack doctor, and paid a lot of money to buy a prescription that was enough to make people dumb. It was a rainy night, and there was thunder, and she was very timid, so she insisted on pestering me to sleep with her . " His eyes were not good, and Ran Xiurong's voice did not fluctuate, as if that rainy night had already reappeared in front of her eyes.

In the dark night, she pushed open the door, and with gentleness and kindness, she appeared at the loneliest time when the child needed company most, like a savior.

"I treated her with the patience I didn't have for my own daughter, coaxing her, playing games with her, and when the thunder gradually subsided, I arranged for the cook to make a bowl of porridge and bring it in as a midnight snack. She didn't know It's what I mean, I'm tired after having fun, and I ate up that bowl of eight-treasure porridge." Fengyan was black and white, and she said these things in a leisurely manner, as if she didn't have any intention of repenting.

After a pause, she withdrew from the picture of memories without any emotion. "Then I held her in my arms and watched her fall asleep until dawn."

"Why didn't she become dumb?" Su Yujiao's beautiful face twisted slightly due to obvious anger.

Ran Xiurong held the teacup in her hands, the coldness in her eyes couldn't be more intense. "She started to have a fever, and her whole body was burning like fire. For almost three days, she was in a coma and had a fever. Many doctors were helpless, and I also wondered, it was not poison, so how could it be so serious on her body."

"That man brought the doctor, didn't the mother's actions have been exposed?" Su Yu sighed softly, as if he felt that there was something wrong with these things, but he couldn't tell.

She shook her head helplessly, turned her face sideways, and said with a sneer. "It's strange that it's strange here. They can't find the cause, let alone how to prescribe the right medicine."

"Master Su was anxious and angry, but he didn't dare to disobey the doctor's words. He wanted to save her, but he didn't know how to do so."

"It's weird."

They were not exposed on the spot, and God was very kind to their mother and daughter.

Su Yu felt that the air in the room seemed so dull that it was hard to breathe, so he walked to the window sill, gently opened the wooden window, and asked in a low voice. "Then how is she?"

The creases between Ran Xiurong's eyebrows became deeper, and her voice gradually became low and strange. "What's even weirder, I saw with my own eyes that on the fourth day, her fever subsided, and everything was fine except for being weak and pale."

Su Yu was instantly sobered by the cold wind, his eyes regained their previous highness, and he suddenly turned his face to ask questions. "How could it be all right? Could it be that quack doctor cheated my mother and gave her fake medicine, otherwise how could Su Min still talk?"

Ran Xiurong gave Su Yu a sidelong glance, filled with resentment, and complained slowly. "Although no one suspects me, I don't dare to do anything more. After all, if it happens again and again, sooner or later someone will find out."

"Since Su Min was 14 years old, she has often been away from the mansion, and she was not seen when eating. She must have started to doubt her mother." Su Yu's face changed drastically, and those details were enough to prove everything.

"Whether there is a sense of taste or not, only she knows. This time she said before kicking me out of the house that she learned some medical skills from others in order to protect herself." Ran Xiurong left a sentence angrily, thinking Back then, when that pestering girl drove her out of the Su family, which was like a fish in water, she hated her so much.

Su Yu's complexion became more and more ugly, and the pupils of his eyes were covered with haze, making him look more sophisticated. "Does she know that mother wants to poison her dumb?"

"I don't think she doesn't know, but she seems to know..." She sighed softly, Su Min never revealed everything, let her peek into her heart.

"Mother!" Su Yu's complexion darkened, he refused, and shouted anxiously, don't wait for such ambiguous answers.

Ran Xiurong walked to Su Yu's side, put her hands on her shoulders, and comforted her daughter. "What she said is very roundabout and hard to fathom. However, after a few years, even if she suspects it, she has no evidence."

"I can finally understand what mother you said about being afraid." Su Yu leaned on the window sill and looked at Ran Xiurong, their eyes met and they were full of thoughts. "She drank the dumb medicine, but she didn't become dumb. It's really scary to think about it."

"Tell me, could she be possessed by some kind of monster? Otherwise, how could such a strange thing happen? I think she is domineering now, and her personality is quite different from that girl in the past." Ran Xiurong fell into a short-lived Silence, suddenly thought of absurd rumors, and guessed mysteriously.

Su Yu pushed her hands away, frowned, and ignored her. "Didn't you never believe in ghosts and gods, mother? Don't become obsessed because of such trivial things."

"It doesn't matter if I come out of Su's house, I feel extremely uncomfortable when I look at Su Min and her eyes every day." Ran Xiurong sat back on her bed again, complaining repeatedly.

Su Yu's eyes stayed on the candlelight that was flickering because of the wind for a long time, his eyes gradually dimmed, and his voice was low. "If she knew your mother's intentions at that time, and could bear it until now, she would really be a terrifying girl as you said."

Rumble!
A golden lightning flashed from the sky, breaking the originally peaceful environment.

An old man in a heavy gray cotton-padded coat, about fifty years old, was out, looking at the gloomy color of the sky with a smile, turned his head and said. "This winter is coming to an end. What a resounding spring thunder. It seems that this year is bound to be a good one. The country is peaceful and the people are safe! Miss Su, what do you think?"

A young woman wearing a golden coat stopped suddenly, and the endless thunder sounded in her ears, which echoed into the loudest sound, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

Su Min held her breath, forced herself to ignore the thunder in her ears, and smiled calmly. "If it's a good sign, I hope the rice in the south of the city will have a good harvest this year, so that the Su family's rice shop and wine can have good business."

"That's that, but, why do I think Miss's complexion is not very good?" Old Uncle Chen nodded again and again, his eyes resting on Su Min's face, but the crystal face became paler, and he couldn't help asking with concern.

Su Min smiled and shook her head. The cold wind ruffled her long hair, tangling and dancing in front of her eyes. No one could see what emotion was written in her eyes at the moment. "It's nothing, Old Uncle Chen. The [-] families who planted crops for the Su family recently have all celebrated the New Year."
