Shengjing Noble

Chapter 614 House Apprentice 4 Walls

"It deserves it! This is retribution!"

"Yes, they got the retribution they deserved, and our family is finally safe and sound and will be reunited soon."

"Then let's go to Quanzhou to look for mother. My eldest and second brothers must be there too, right?"

"No, my second brother entered the Imperial Academy and is now in Shengjing. My eldest brother went to the Northern Territory with the army."

"Ah? So I won't be able to see them anymore..."

There was a flash of disappointment in her eyes, and she bit her lower lip with some grievance.

For a person who has lost all his memories, there is undoubtedly no sense of security.

When she just woke up, Su Lanyin felt that she was the only one left in the world, all lonely and helpless.

Fortunately, Ah Hai and Ah Yue were there to cheer her up.

Now, having left the Pirate Island, she was surrounded by loneliness and helplessness again.

Unexpectedly, Su Shengming was actually her relative.

She was looking forward to seeing her other relatives, but she heard that they were all away from each other. It would be a lie to say she wasn't sad.

Su Shengming held her in his arms and comforted her lovingly: "You have three brothers, they won't leave you alone. We can't go to Quanzhou next."

"Where to go?"

"It seems you have forgotten Huaizhi."

"Huaizhi?"

Su Lanyin blinked and looked at him in confusion.

"Is she my relative too?"

Su Shengming thought about it, his cheeks slightly flushed: "I guess so."

"What does it mean?"

"Because she is your future sister-in-law."

"So you're not married yet?"

"Well, you could say that."

Su Lanyin nodded, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

"You seem to be quite old, but you are still not married. Oh... By the way, where are my eldest and second sisters-in-law?"

Hearing this, Su Shengming said unhappily, "I'm sorry, you don't have an elder sister-in-law or a younger sister-in-law. To be exact, you only have a brother, but no sister-in-law."

"Ah? Are all three brothers so useless?"

"You stinky girl!"

"You're already an old man, how come you can't even find a wife? Is our family really poor?"

An evil thought came to Su Shengming's mind, and he nodded deliberately and said, "Yes, our family is very poor!"

Su Lanyin looked at him suspiciously: "Then you just said that the second brother is in the Imperial Academy and the third brother went to war with the army. They all have some official positions, so how can they be poor?"

"It's true that my second brother is in the Imperial Academy, but he... is a slave."

"Ah? Slave?"

"correct."

"What about big brother?"

"Big brother...he's just a small soldier."

"how about you?"

"I'm a handyman in the restaurant."

Su Lanyin had completely given up.

"It seems that our family is really poor. My three brothers are so useless... Alas."

Looking at her dejected look, Su Shengming tried hard to hold back his laughter.

When she arrived in Quanzhou and saw her grandfather's business, she was so surprised that her jaw dropped!

You little stinky girl, it’s your fault that you disliked me just now. I’ll scare you then!

……

Two days later.

The boat finally docked, and Su Shengming immediately took Su Lanyin to the government to report the case.

Soon, all the gangs that kidnapped innocent people were arrested.

The next step is to look for Song Huaizhi.

They asked around the city but couldn't find any trace of him.

Su Lanyin always felt that this name was very familiar, but if she continued to think about it more deeply, her headache would come back, so she had to give up in the end.

After searching the streets for a whole day without finding the person, they came to the roadside to eat a bowl of noodles.

Just when she looked up, she saw the sign of "Hua Manlou" and couldn't help but frown and keep staring at it.

Su Shengming felt strange and asked, "Why do you always visit this brothel?"

Su Lanyin narrowed her eyes, and some images flashed through her mind, but this time, she didn't have a headache.

"I...seem to have been here before!"

Su Shengming immediately caught the point and asked hurriedly: "Are you sure you have been here?"

"Yeah! I remember it was about three or four stories high... There was a stage in the middle, and it was circular around..."

As she narrated, the scene inside Hua Man Lou emerged in her mind.

Su Shengming was immediately excited: "You would never go to a brothel for no reason, unless you have investigated this Hua Man Lou before! Then, it must be because of Huai Zhi!"

Seeing that his analysis was very logical, Su Lanyin expressed her agreement.

"Then let's go in and take a look?"

"I'm afraid not."

"why?"

Su Shengming pointed at the door of Hua Man Lou and said, "Did you see the seal? It must have been forcibly closed. And I saw signs of fire behind the door. I guess there is no one here for a long time."

"Then all our clues are gone, right?"

"Since we're here now, there's no harm in going in and taking a look."

After saying that, the two of them didn't even bother to eat their noodles. They threw down a few copper coins, stood up and walked towards Hua Manlou opposite.

The door was indeed sealed and no one could get in.

Su Shengming looked inside through the crack in the door. The layout was almost the same as Su Lanyin's description just now, but there was no one inside.

He turned around and said, "Going in now might just bring disaster. Let's come back at night."

"it is good!"

……

The two found an inn to stay in, went back to their rooms and took a nap. When they woke up again, it was indeed dark.

Su Lanyin and Su Shengming changed into night clothes and went to Huamanlou together.

The two men came to the back door and climbed over the wall directly.

Inside, the fire had already turned it into a mess.

"It seems that there is really no one inside. How can we find it?"

Su Shengming was just worrying when Su Lanyin ran upstairs based on her intuition.

"Where are you going!"

He quickly followed.

She walked into a room without hesitation.

This place was not burned down and still retains the appearance of a place where people originally lived.

Su Lanyin said: "I always feel that this has something to do with Third Sister-in-law."

She took out the night pearl and instantly lit up the room.

Su Shengming immediately saw a guqin placed on the table by the wall, and he immediately rushed over to check it out.

“It’s a guqin.”

He turned it over to check, and sure enough, he found a "star" symbol in an inconspicuous place.

"It's Huaizhi's, it must be hers!"

"How do you know?" Su Lanyin asked puzzledly.

Su Shengming pointed at the symbol and said, "Huaizhi's flower name is Xingyue. Every time she gets a new piano, she will carve a mark on an inconspicuous place to prevent it from being lost by mistake."

"I see. So, my third sister-in-law really did it here. My intuition was right."

"Now what?"

"I can only ask the proprietress of Hua Man Lou."

"Where to find it?"

"Of course I should go to the government office and ask. Isn't there a government seal on the gate?"

"That makes sense. Let's go back and rest first, and then go to the government office early tomorrow morning."

"it is good!"

The two put the piano back, left Huamanlou and returned to the inn.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, Su Lanyin and Su Shengming went to the government office and asked about the whereabouts of the proprietress of Hua Manlou.

But the answer we got was that everyone in Hua Manlou was burned to death in the fire, no one escaped!
