Chapter 177 It’s like an old friend returns
Su Rudong went out. Although this was not a new thing, she did not take a sedan chair or a carriage, but went out wearing a bamboo hat. This was very suspicious.
Zhou Ning saw this scene while lying on the roof. Without having time to tell Youzi, Zhou Ning walked up and followed.
However, Su Rudong was very alert and disappeared into an alley, so Zhou Ning had to give up.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going. Compared with Anzhou, the people in Qingzhou are more open.
Since learning martial arts, Zhou Ning's five senses have been greatly enhanced, so she discovered that someone was following her.
Could it be that Su Rudong discovered her?
Zhou Ning thought so and turned into an alley.
Now let’s see how you run?
Zhou Ning carried a hidden weapon with her. As long as her martial arts skills were not superior to Qing Yi's, she had a 90% chance of killing the enemy before getting hurt.
Zhou Ning jumped up the osmanthus tree beside the wall, smiled at the middle-aged man below, and said sarcastically: "Are you following me?"
Ke Chu raised his eyes and saw the pair of bright peach blossom eyes with a red mole at the corner of the eye. However, they were not bright and beautiful, but had a distant and indifferent feeling that made it difficult to get close to them.
At this moment, the girl in front of him overlapped with the scene twenty years ago. If it weren't for the harsh and sarcastic words, Ke Chu could even feel the girl's tender and cheerful shouting: "Stupid Ke Chu."
Ke Chu's eyes gradually became moist, but he did not shed a single tear. Instead, he said affirmatively: "You are...A Ning, right?"
Some days ago, he received a letter from Suda.
From the letter, he learned that the lover he missed day and night had passed away, leaving behind two daughters.
Even though he had already imagined this outcome, he still couldn't accept it. He wanted to ask the two children in person and see with his own eyes... Mingxia's grave.
The girl in front of him looked alert and a little confused.
Ke Chu's heart ached, and he spoke each word with great emphasis: "My name is Ke Chu."
Zhou Ning had heard of this name from Su Zhiqiu, who was A Niang's childhood sweetheart.
However, Zhou Ning was very wary. Who knew if this person was lying to her to make her let down her guard?
Zhou Ning leaned against the osmanthus tree with her arms folded, in the same posture as Bai Zhao usually did, and said lazily, "What's the evidence?"
Ke Chu smiled bitterly in his heart. This child is very cautious. If... if Ming Xia could be half as cautious as she is.
Ke Chu threw a piece of letter paper towards Zhou Ning. On the letter paper was Su Da's private seal, frantic handwriting, and a few drops of hot tears.
Zhou Ning believed it a little and said, "You are going to the Su Mansion, right? Then go by yourself. I have my own things to do. Goodbye."
After saying that, Zhou Ning turned and left, leaving Ke Chu alone.
Zhou Ning even took a few detours and saw that no one was following her. She bought some men's clothes and changed into them, only then did she feel slightly relieved.
These days, you have to be cautious.
Zhou Ning is neither tall nor short, but he specially bought a pair of high-heeled shoes, looking like a young and handsome man.
Brothels were the most well-informed, so she went to the largest brothel here to get information.
The madam was very sharp-eyed and could tell at a glance that this was a girl, so she stepped forward and asked, "What would you like to do, young master? Our girls can drink with you and play the piano for you."
Zhou Ning threw a silver ingot and said, fanning himself with a folding fan: "Who is the most eloquent girl among you?"
The madam weighed the silver and said with a smile, "The one with the best information is Miss Mingyue. Look, she is the one dancing on the stage. I will take you to her later."
Zhou Ning followed the madam's gaze and looked at Miss Mingyue on the stage.
She was dressed in a golden outfit from the Western Regions, with small golden bells on her ankles, which rang with every step, looking graceful and natural.
Zhou Ning always felt it was very familiar, but she had no memory of it.
Could it be that I skipped in a dream? That's so strange.
The madam took Zhou Ning to Miss Mingyue's room, which was filled with a strange fragrance.
Zhou Ning waited quietly at the low table, eating grapes boredly.
Miss Mingyue was very popular and the dance lasted almost until dark.
Zhou Ning fell asleep while waiting.
The door was suddenly kicked open, Zhou Ning woke up with a start, and when she looked up she saw Shen You, Bai Zhao and Qi Ji, all three of them were panting.
"A Ning, why didn't you tell me that you were going out to play? I was very worried." Shen You sat next to Zhou Ning, frowning.
Zhou Ning was still a little confused. What?
"I saw that the girl was sleeping too deeply, so I didn't wake her up. I guess she got into trouble, so don't blame her." Mingyue supported her arm with one hand, her charm was natural and natural.
Qi Ji bowed to Mingyue and said, "I hope you can forgive us. We are just too worried about our little sister at home."
Mingyue stood up slowly and said, "It's okay. Don't you want to ask me something? Ask now."
Zhou Ning was half asleep, and then she remembered the important matter and asked hurriedly, "Now what does Qingzhou City think of the granddaughter that the Su family just found?"
Mingyue didn't even look at Zhou Ning, but lifted her hair and said, "That lady? She is nothing but arrogant and domineering, and is not worth much use. If she becomes the head of the Su family, she will definitely be a disaster. This word hasn't spread yet, but I believe that in a few days, the whole Qingzhou will know the name of this number one evil woman."
"It is true." Zhou Ning said secretly.
Mingyue said tactfully, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll leave the room to you guys, have fun."
Mingyue waved to Zhou Ning, opened the door, and walked away with her slender waist swaying.
Zhou Ning yawned and said, "Since we're all here, let's play for a while. What do you think?"
Shen You's emotions came and went quickly, and she immediately raised her hand and said, "Truth or Dare, do you dare?"
"How is this played?" Bai Zhao asked.
Shen You said, "When playing games, whoever loses will be punished. The winner asks questions and the loser answers, or the winner makes requests and the loser has to do it."
"All is fine." Zhou Ning said lazily.
"Okay." Qi Ji said.
Bai Zhao hesitated for a while and raised his hand and said, "I think that's fine."
Shen You looked at Bai Zhao meaningfully and said, "Show some courage, boy."
Several people played rock-paper-scissors. In the first round, Shen You lost and Qi Ji won.
"Truth or Dare?" Bai Zhao asked.
"Let's take a big risk." Shen You has never been afraid of taking risks.
Qi Ji looked at Shen You's sparkling eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and said: "Then, tell me one of my shortcomings."
Shen You didn't expect that what Qi Ji proposed was so simple, but when she thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to have any shortcomings.
"Maybe, you like to keep your thoughts to yourself. I've noticed that you keep things to yourself and don't want to tell others. I think you should speak out, and then we can help you solve it together." Shen You sat upright with a very sincere look on his face.
Qi Ji's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Can I tell you anything?"
Shen You nodded: "Of course."
Before Qi Ji could continue, Shen You said, "Okay, okay, the second round..."
After all, Xiaobai and Aning are the protagonists today.
As expected, under Shen You's manipulation, Aning lost and Shen You won.
"Ahem, Ning, what is your ideal lover like?"
