Chapter 138 It’s definitely not simple
Jiang Yu interrupted him, his tone unquestionable.
"We didn't mean to deceive anyone in today's matter. If you truly care about Miss Su, you should persuade her to follow the principle of first come, first served, instead of forcing her to do things."
Lu Ming was left speechless by Jiang Yu's words. He stared at the two people in front of him, but had no way to refute.
In the end, he could only snort angrily, pull Su Qiaoer and turn away.
Looking at the two people's departing backs, Lin Wanqing sighed softly and shook his head.
"Jiang Yu, thank you very much for what happened today."
Jiang Yu smiled slightly, patted the back of Lin Wanqing's hand, and comforted her, "Wanqing, you don't need to be polite with me, but you should pay more attention to Su Qiaoer in the future."
Lin Wanqing nodded, and became more wary of Su Qiaoer.
The two smiled at each other and continued to choose fabrics, as if the previous incident had not affected their mood.
On the other side, after Lu Ming pulled Su Qiaoer out of the cloth shop, his face was still terribly gloomy.
"Lu Lang, don't be angry, it's all my fault."
Su Qiaoer spoke cautiously, with a hint of flattery in her tone.
Lu Ming turned to look at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Qiao'er, you have changed."
Su Qiaoer's heart tightened when she heard this, but she still kept a gentle smile on her face.
"Lu Lang, I..."
"You weren't like this before."
Lu Ming interrupted her, his voice tinged with disappointment, "You've never argued with others over such trivial matters before, let alone compromised like this."
Su Qiaoer's face turned pale after hearing Lu Ming's words. She lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes tightly with her hands.
"Lu Lang, I...I just care too much about our child and want to give him the best."
Her voice trembled slightly, as if she would burst into tears at any moment.
Looking at her like this, Lu Ming's anger gradually subsided.
He sighed softly, hugged Su Qiaoer in his arms, and his tone softened a little.
"Qiao'er, I know you're doing this for the good of our child, but some things can't be forced."
Su Qiaoer leaned in Lu Ming's arms, a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly concealed.
She nodded gently, with a hint of obedience in her voice.
"I understand, Lu Lang."
Hearing this, Lu Ming felt relieved. He hugged Su Qiaoer's arms tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.
On the other side, Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqing left the cloth shop together after selecting the fabrics.
The two walked slowly along the street, chatting about some trivial matters.
When he reached a corner, Lin Wanqing suddenly stopped and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Jiang Yu, look at that person, is she the maidservant beside Su Qiaoer?"
Jiang Yu looked in the direction of Lin Wanqing's finger and saw a woman in plain clothes sneaking into an alley.
The woman's back was very similar to Xiaolian, the maidservant beside Su Qiaoer.
"It seems to be her."
Jiang Yu frowned slightly, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart, "What is she doing sneaking around?"
Lin Wanqing shook his head, a solemn look on his face.
"Let's follow and take a look."
The two looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and then followed on tiptoe.
The alley is winding, like a maze with no end.
Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqing walked carefully, fearing to alert the enemy.
After walking for about a cup of tea, the two finally arrived at the end of the alley.
I saw Xiaolian standing in front of a dilapidated wooden door. After looking around, she pushed the door open and walked in.
Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqing looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
What secrets are hidden behind this wooden door?
Why did Xiaolian come here alone?
The two were filled with doubts and curiosity and decided to find out.
Jiang Yu gently pushed the wooden door and found that it was not locked, but just ajar.
She nodded to Lin Wanqing, then walked in quietly.
Lin Wanqing followed closely behind Jiang Yu, and the two of them walked forward along the dim passage.
The walls on both sides of the passage were covered with moss, and the air was filled with a damp and decayed smell.
The further you go in, the narrower the passage becomes, only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqing pressed themselves tightly against the wall, fearing that they would accidentally bump into something.
After walking about ten meters, the passage finally became clear.
I saw an empty basement in front of me. There were a few dim oil lamps on the wall, and I could barely see the surrounding environment.
In the middle of the basement, there was a shabby wooden table with some papers and medicine bottles scattered on it.
Xiaolian was standing in front of the wooden table, holding a medicine bottle in her hand, and seemed to be pouring something into a teacup.
Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqing looked at each other, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Where exactly is this place?
What is Xiaolian doing here?
The two were full of doubts and decided to continue observing.
Xiaolian filled the teacup with water, then picked up the cup and walked to a corner of the basement.
There, there was a figure lying!
Due to the dim light, Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqing could not see the man's face clearly. They could only vaguely make out that the man was wearing a coarse cloth and looked like a man.
Xiaolian squatted down, handed the teacup to the man's mouth, and carefully fed him the water in the cup.
Then she stood up, sighed softly, turned and walked towards the entrance.
Just as she was about to walk out of the passage, Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqing finally saw her face clearly.
It’s Xiaolian!
The two were shocked, and at the same time, a thought flashed through their minds -
This matter is by no means simple!
Xiaolian suddenly stopped, turned her head and looked towards the basement, a look of worry flashed in her eyes.
She seemed to want to go back and see the man, but finally gritted her teeth and turned away.
Seeing this, Jiang Yu and Lin Wanqing quickly shrank back, fearing that they would be discovered by Xiaolian.
It was not until Xiaolian's footsteps gradually faded away that the two of them poked their heads out from the entrance.
"Jiang Yu, what's going on?"
Lin Wanqing couldn't help but ask, with a hint of urgency in her voice.
Jiang Yu shook his head, a solemn look on his face.
"I don't know either, but this is definitely not a simple matter."
The two looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
"Should we go in and take a look?"
Lin Wanqing asked tentatively.
Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look."
The two men tiptoed into the basement and came to the man.
The man was pale, his eyes were closed, and he looked very weak.
Jiang Yu reached out and felt his breath, and found that he was still alive, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"What's up with him?"
Lin Wanqing couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Yu shook his head and signaled her not to speak.
She looked at the man carefully and found that he was in tattered clothes and seemed to have many scars on his body.
It looks like he has been abused.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
Who on earth could treat a person so cruelly?
She must get to the bottom of this matter!
