 The old woman moved a little slowly, and slowly knelt down. Wei Yunzhao hurriedly let the two of them to stand up, and Jiang Lin also stepped forward to help the old woman.

 

  After thanking Jiang Lin, the old woman said to Su Qiao: "Girl, please invite the general and the young madam to sit and talk in the room, and this old woman will make tea for you."

 

  After she finished speaking, the old woman walked away with a cane.

 

  Jiang Lin pushed Wei Yunzhao and followed Su Qiao into the room. The small courtyard was a bit dilapidated and the furnishings in the house were simple.

 

  Wei Yunzhao asked Su Qiao, "When did Miss Su come to Shengjing, and why did she enter the brothel?"

 

  "It's a long story, so let me tell you two slowly."

 

  Su Yuan died on the battlefield. At first everyone in the Su family thought he was killed in battle, however they didn't expect to hear the news that Wei Yunzhao was poisoned and fell into a coma later. The Su family originally planned to send family members to visit Wei Yunzhao to see if there was anything they could do to help.

 

  But they didn't expect something big happened to their family, "A big fire burned the entire Su family overnight."

 

  Su Qiao's voice was cold and filled with sadness, "Before the fire broke out, the Su family experienced poisoning and then massacre. At that time, none of the dozens of people in the Su family survived. My mother, elder brother and sister-in-law, a pair of younger siblings, and all the servants in the house were burned to ashes by the fire, not even the bones left behind."

 

  "Only me, my maid Qiudong, and my wet nurse escaped unharmed because we went to visit my grandmother (maternal)."

 

  Su Qiao clenched her sleeves so tightly that her fingers turned white and her whole body was tense. "But those people didn't intend to let us go, not even my grandmother and uncle (maternal)."

 

  The Su family was destroyed by a fire, and she received the news the next day, a letter announcing the tragic death of the Su family was shot at the door of her grandfather's house. Su Qiao and others hurriedly wanted to go back to take a look, however they were stopped at the door by someone who wanted to kill her. Her uncle asked her to take the maid and wet nurse and run away first, and asked her to go to Shengjing to find General Wei, and she must avenge the Su family and the Lu family and seek justice for them.

 

  She left, and the Lu family was also implicated by her. No one survived, including her uncle's child who was only a few years old.

 

  The pursuit of her was not over yet, Su Qiao learned some kung fu from her father, and the maid Qiudong could also punch and kick. They fled eagerly, however Qiudong died in order to lure those people away for her. Her wet nurse blocked the poison for her, and her eyes were completely blind.

 

  "I didn't know that the distance between Jiangnan and Shengjing is so far. We walked for almost a year. I took my wet nurse to be a beggar, and we also entered a bandit's den. In the end, I sold myself to yazi (伢子: middleman, broker). They brought me and my wet nurse to Shengjing. Fortunately, I look pretty good. I used to be considered a popular lady. I can play music and sing. I sold myself to a brothel for a good price, and then I begged to the brothel's owner to give my wet nurse a place to live. "

 

  "Later, I made money, so I bought this small courtyard and let my wet nurse live in this place. Later, I was lucky, and was bought by the young madam."

 

  Wei Yunzhao opened his mouth, wanting to ask her why she didn't come to look for him when she was in Shengjing, but in the end he didn't say anything. He said guiltily, "It was me who failed General Su's entrustment, and failed to take goo care Miss Su for him" There are also the Su family members who died and the Lu family members who were innocently implicated.

 

  Hundreds of lives were lost because of him.

 

  Hearing what Wei Yunzhao said, Su Qiao laughed instead, "If the general was promoted to a higher position in Shengjing, eating, drinking and enjoying himself, and deliberately turning a blind eye to the Su family, I might really blame the general. I have been in Shengjing for some time, and I know what kind of life the Wei family has been having in Shengjing. Besides, the general sent people to look for people in Jiangnan, I knew it, however there were people staring at me all the time and I didn't dare to recognize each other. "

 

  "General, Su Qiao doesn't blame the general. I only hope that I can do my best to find out the truth one day and ask for a grave for my dead family members."

 

         There were no bones left of the Su family, and the dead bodies of the Lu family were scattered in the wilderness. There was not even an empty grave where she could worship. They shouldn't be like this.

 

  Wei Yunzhao opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to say a word, "Yes."

 

  Jiang Lin patted Wei Yunzhao on the shoulder to comfort him, "There will be that day, I will be with you."

 

  Wei Yunzhao grabbed Jiang Lin's hand and held it tightly.

 

  With Su Qiao's status, it would be inappropriate for her to be Anyang Bo's concubine. She didn't want to go back to Jiangnan, so Wei Yunzhao and Jiang Lin let her live in this small courtyard first, and they would come to find her when they need her help.

 

  Su Qiao didn't agree, she said: "Young Madam doesn't need to think about me so much, I'm not innocent anymore, I'm not afraid of anything. I also understand some of the grievances between Young Madam and Anyang Bo, I don't think there is anyone more suitable than me, Young Madam let me go."

 

  Jiang Lin shook his head and said, "This is a matter between me and Zhao Qiuru, you shouldn't be involved, and chastity is not that important. You are a good girl, old man like him is not good enough for you."

 

  Su Qiao was amused by him, "Young Madam, you're really good at comforting people. In fact, I don't think chastity is that important. If my parents are still alive, they will definitely not despise me. But I still think I'm the most suitable, not to mention that I was redeemed by Young Madam with money, so I can't waste your money, Young Madam."

 

  "That's different," Jiang Lin hurriedly pushed Wei Yunzhao away, "You stay well, I will choose someone else, just wait and help us with big things."
