Chapter 245: Slowly Chasing My Wife
"Mom, please get out of the way! Don't stop me!"
Su Zhe was surrounded by a dozen servants from the Marquis' Mansion, who were holding hands and forming a circle. They moved in the direction of his movement, and no matter how he ran, jumped or tried to escape, it was of no use.
Qin Shi held a horse whip in her hand and stood aggressively at the periphery, blocking the exit of the yard. She pointed at Su Zhe in the circle and shouted:
"Don't you know what's going on in the north right now? Your martial arts skills are mediocre, so you'll only cause more trouble. If you cause me trouble later, how are you going to let your father and I survive?"
"Mom! I'm not going to fight, I'm going to find Ah Ci."
"That won't do! Ah Ci is clearly heading to the border town to find her father. What kind of place is the border town? The military report from the Ministry of War says it's been reduced to a scorched earth! Do you understand scorched earth? It means there's nothing left! Now that place is the territory of the Beimang people, and you'd be committing suicide if you go there!"
Qin put her hands on her hips and exuded a strong aura, as if she was the only one who could hold her own against ten thousand.
Su Zhe jumped around for half the night but didn't even leave the yard. He was so angry that his face was twisted, but he could do nothing about his mother.
"Mom! It's because I know all this that I have to go find Ah Ci! I'm worried about her being alone!"
"You're useless!"
Qin cursed, then thought about it and realized that she was still a little bit angry, so she tried to make amends.
"Your father has already sent people to look for her. He will definitely catch up with her and persuade her to come back. My dear little ancestor, please stop causing trouble! Just wait at home. Don't even think about taking a single step out of this door today!"
After saying that, Qin waved his sleeves and said:
"What are you dawdling for? Tie him up and throw him into the room."
"Yes!"
The servants began to close the circle and rushed forward to catch Su Zhe red-handed. Two of them held his head, two held his feet, and three tied his hands. No matter how Su Zhe struggled and howled, they remained indifferent.
When Su Li and Pei Heng arrived at the scene after all their efforts, they saw Su Zhe being tied up like a dumpling by Qin and being carried away.
"Sister, help me!"
When Su Zhe saw Su Li, it was like he saw a life-saving straw, and he twisted his body desperately to ask for help.
Su Li pretended not to see it and went forward to coax Qin:
"Mom, why are you so angry?"
Qin was so angry that she gasped, "Really? No one of them makes me worry. You are still the most considerate."
"Sister! Sister!"
Su Zhe's cry for help gradually faded away. Su Li gave Pei Heng a look, and Pei Heng saluted and said:
"Mother-in-law, I'm going to the study to find father-in-law."
As soon as Pei Heng left, Su Li helped Qin into the house and sat down.
"Mom, calm down. Don't you know what kind of temper Azhe has? He just needs to be pampered. The more you don't let him do something, the more he wants to go against you. Don't worry, I will help you persuade him."
Qin took a sip of tea. She was almost numb from tossing and turning for half the night.
"Ci'er is the same. What can't be discussed? She was fine in front of us last night, but she turned around and ran back to her room. Didn't we worry about her for no reason? Oh, I don't know if the people sent by the Marquis caught up with her."
Su Li knew that Qin was really worried about Song Ci, and she was worried too, but she also understood Song Ci very well.
Because if it were her, she would probably do the same.
"Zhe'er is a stubborn person. Even though he usually ignores Ci'er in the mansion, he loves her very much in his heart. He often hangs around outside her yard in the middle of the night. For Ci'er, he is willing to give up his own life."
"That's why Mother is worried about him going. What if..."
Qin swallowed the rest of her words and changed the subject:
"Go and persuade him."
Su Li arrived at Su Zhe's room, pushed the door open and saw her brother tied up and thrown on the bed.
"Sister, come here quickly and let me go! Otherwise, if Ah Ci gets too far away, I won't be able to catch up with her."
Su Li glanced at him angrily, walked over and patted him lightly on the forehead.
"If you leave, what will happen to Dad and Mom?"
"Aren't you here, sister?"
Su Zhe lowered his eyes and signaled Su Li to hurry up.
Su Li sighed softly, slowly untied the rope for him, and said:
"You're still clamoring for a divorce, aren't you? What? You don't want a divorce anymore?"
Su Zhe blushed, "Sister, you know it, why are you asking?"
"I know, but some people don't. What if you keep chasing after her like this and she still doesn't appreciate your kindness?"
Su Zhe rolled a few times, freed himself from the hemp rope, rubbed his wrist and said:
"If she doesn't appreciate it, then she doesn't appreciate it. I've figured it out. Everything I do isn't for her appreciation. I just want to follow my heart and do what I want to do. Sister, when I catch up with her, I'll tell her everything that's in my heart. Whether she's willing to accept it or not, I'll stay by her side anyway."
"I just know that I can't let her face this alone. I have to be by her side!"
Su Li patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, you have finally grown up. Go ahead. Your brother-in-law has prepared a carriage and luggage for you in the backyard."
Su Zhe was shocked and immediately became ecstatic.
"Sister, I know you are the best to me."
Under Su Li's cover, Su Zhe sneaked out from the backyard.
Pei Heng had been waiting in the backyard for a long time. Lian Cheng had been waiting for a long time at the base of the outer wall of the backyard with his horse and luggage.
"Sister, I'll leave the house to you."
Su Zhe hurriedly mounted his horse, glanced at the Yong'an Marquis Mansion in the morning light, and whipped his horse away.
Watching the man and the horse disappear from sight, Su Li and Pei Heng looked at each other.
"Come on, follow me back to receive your punishment."
Pei Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just came from the study. My father-in-law already knows about it."
"what?"
When Su Li turned around, she saw Qin standing in the corner with red eyes not far away. Marquis Yong'an was looking up at the direction where Su Zhe disappeared.
"mother!"
"You all ganged up on me!"
Qin said angrily with red eyes.
"Mom, I'm sorry." Su Li quickly apologized, and just as she finished speaking, she heard Pei Heng say:
"Don't worry, mother-in-law. I have sent ten men to wait outside the city. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and have experienced many battles. They will accompany A-Zhe north and will definitely protect him and Song Ci."
On the way here, he and Su Li had discussed it and everything had been arranged in advance.
Qin looked at Pei Heng with gratitude and said, "Well, the child has grown up and has to walk his own path. I can't control him anymore!"
Su Li helped Qin go back, while Pei Heng accompanied Yong'an Hou to the study to discuss matters.
In Xu Jing's yard, Shuanghong came back stealthily, and as soon as she entered the door, she leaned over and told her everything in her ear.
"Really gone?"
Xu Jing was fiddling with the jewelry in the box. Hearing this, she looked up at Shuanghong.
"Yes! This servant watched the young master leave."
Shuanghong nodded.
"It's better to leave. Don't come back if you leave. It's best to die outside!" Xu Jing said viciously. She threw a white jade hairpin in her hand into the box.
"By the way, I asked you to make an appointment with Miss Lin Wu. Have you made an appointment?"
"We have an appointment at Xichun Tower."
"Okay, let's go meet her then."
