Chapter 195 Finished
She seemed a little uncertain as she leaned closer, listening intently to the sounds coming from inside the room.
After a while, Su Fuying's brows furrowed even more, and her eyes became serious.
Because she could definitely hear faint breathing coming from inside the door.
Seeing this, Su Fuying carefully poked a small hole in the window paper and peered into the room through the hole.
Although the room was small, the items inside were arranged neatly and orderly.
My gaze shifted to the bed, where I saw an elderly woman with white hair lying on it. Her breathing was extremely weak, as if it might stop at any moment.
At this moment, the old woman was struggling to reach the water glass on the table.
However, she tried for a long time without success. In the end, her hands fell limply, and she could only open her mouth wide and try to breathe.
Seeing this, Su Fuying silently stood up, intending to leave quietly.
However, at that moment, a crisp sound suddenly came from inside the room.
It turned out to be the sound of a cup falling to the ground. Hearing this, Su Fuying paused, hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and pushed open the door.
When the old woman saw someone enter, she instantly snapped to attention and became unusually agitated. Her lips trembled as she stammered, "You...you...who are you?"
Su Fuying did not answer her question immediately. Instead, she walked straight to the table, picked up the water glass, and gently walked to the bedside, handing the water glass to the old woman.
The old woman looked at Su Fuying gratefully, took the water with trembling hands, and felt much better after taking a sip.
"Thank you, young master." The old woman said in a hoarse voice, her words weak and feeble.
"It's nothing," Su Fuying replied softly.
"Young master, please wait." Just as Su Fuying turned to leave, the old woman suddenly called out to him.
Su Fuying stopped and turned to look at the old woman with a puzzled expression. The old woman struggled to sit up halfway and said in a low voice, "This is not a place to stay for long. I see that you are kind-hearted, young master, and I advise you to leave quickly."
"Is Gou Dan your grandson?" Su Fuying looked at the old woman, recalling what had just happened, and asked curiously.
Mentioning Gou Dan, the old woman's eyes softened. She nodded and said in a loving tone, "Gou Dan is my grandson."
"Then..." Su Fuying wanted to ask something more, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a series of footsteps.
"Young Master?" Duofu suddenly walked in from outside the door with a smile on his face. When he saw Su Fuying and the old woman, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Upon hearing Duofu's voice, a flicker of fear crossed the old woman's eyes. She quickly shut her mouth, turned away, and dared not speak again.
"Young master, what brings you here? Your room has been prepared, please come and take a look."
Duofu strode in, speaking as he gave the old woman on the bed a warning glare, then reached out and grabbed Su Fuying's sleeve, seemingly to lead him out.
Su Fuying sidestepped his hand and turned to leave the courtyard.
"Young master, what do you think?" Duofu asked with a fawning smile, rubbing his hands together and looking at Su Fuying with a smug expression, as if waiting for praise.
Su Fuying nodded expressionlessly, indicating her approval, but in reality, she was not satisfied.
Although the room had indeed been cleaned a bit cleaner, the damp, musty smell still lingered, making people feel uncomfortable.
"Ah."
Su Fuying suppressed her dissatisfaction and nodded reluctantly.
She took a gold leaf out of her purse and casually tossed it to Duofu.
Duofu reacted quickly and caught the gold leaf, a look of ecstatic joy flashing in his eyes.
He said excitedly, "Thank you, young master! Thank you for your generous gift!"
Duofu held the gold leaf in both hands, his eyes gleaming with greed, staring intently at the heavy purse in Su Fuying's hand, as if trying to see right through it.
Su Fuying frowned, glared at Duofu with displeasure, and said in an icy tone, "Get out."
Duofu then realized his lapse in composure, quickly suppressing his greedy expression and bowing obsequiously, "Alright, young master, please rest for now, I'll be right out."
After saying that, he turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.
After Duofu left, Su Fuying sat on the edge of the bed and fell into deep thought.
Logically speaking, since Xiao Yuheng killed several of Duofu's brothers, they couldn't possibly not want to seek revenge against him.
So she decided to ask Dofu about the man.
Su Fuying walked out of the room and into the courtyard, where she saw Duofu eating melon seeds.
She stepped forward and asked directly, "Have you found any trace of the man from yesterday?"
Upon hearing Su Fuying's words, Duofu was taken aback at first, then shook his head repeatedly and replied, "No, I don't know."
Seeing Duofu's expression, Su Fuying knew that he must be hiding something.
So she said casually, "It's nothing," and then turned and left the yard.
Su Fuying wandered aimlessly through the city, looking for shops where she could buy clothes.
However, to her disappointment, it seemed that all the shops in the city were closed.
At this moment, the clothes Su Fuying was wearing had become sticky, making her feel very uncomfortable.
As she walked, she couldn't help but grumble about why she hadn't brought an extra set of clothes, and wondered if that man was going to rescue General Pei all by himself.
Thinking about this makes me feel tired again, and it will be even harder for me to find him then.
After a thorough search, they found nothing and had no choice but to return to the courtyard.
When he stepped into the yard, he found Gou Dan squatting in the middle of the yard, intently cooking a pot of food that emitted an enticing aroma.
The rich aroma of the food wafted up instantly, making one's mouth water.
Su Fuying couldn't help but rub her stomach, which had already begun to protest, then walked up to Gou Dan and asked curiously, "Are all these dishes made for yourself?"
The sudden sound startled Gou Dan. He looked up abruptly, staring in surprise at the person in front of him, and stammered, "Young...Young Master?"
Upon meeting Su Fuying's questioning gaze, Gou Dan immediately explained, "No, no, no, this isn't for me, it's for Brother Fu and the others. Grandma and I will eat other things."
As he spoke, Gou Dan's eyes unconsciously drifted to a pile of items on the ground.
Su Fuying followed his gaze and saw some half-rotten sweet potatoes and a few sprouted potatoes placed in the corner.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but frown. "They can eat rice, but you have to eat this?"
Upon hearing this, Gou Dan's face changed drastically, and he immediately stood up, looking terrified.
He nervously lowered his voice and said to Su Fuying, "Young Master, you can't say things like that! If Brother Fu hears us, we're doomed."
"Done?"
Su Fuying raised an eyebrow, a look of curiosity on her face, and pressed, "How exactly are we doomed?"
