Chapter 276 True Feelings Revealed in Times of Crisis
But this blow hit him right in the chest, breaking one of his ribs. Su Sheng grimaced in pain, and at the same time, Wu didn't dare to move any more.

After being sent to this place, I have no worries about food and drink, but I have no personal freedom at all.

She had to take care of two children and her cousin, and was a little overwhelmed at the moment, so Uncle Nie sent two maids in to help.

Unfortunately, the child was not familiar with the maids, and cried and wanted to find the former maids. Unfortunately, the maids had been killed long ago, so how could they return to the world of the living? Therefore, she could only torment Wu.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, grandma is here, grandma is here."

Although Wu was close to the two children, she could only act strong in such an environment, not to mention the two children. They didn't know how long they would be locked up and had been out of contact with the outside world for several days. It was obvious that her son and daughter-in-law must be looking for them everywhere.

But he also knew his son's abilities. If he hadn't been found for such a long time, he must have been hidden by someone, so there was no way for him to escape for the time being.

After finally coaxing the two children to sleep, Wu returned to Su Sheng.

Although he had taken medicine for the wound on his chest, it would take a hundred days for the broken bones to heal. It was heartbreaking to look at the bruises, and every time he coughed it would cause severe pain, which was unbearable for Su Sheng at his age.

There was a lot of sadness in Mrs. Wu's eyes. She felt that if it weren't for protecting herself and the children, Cousin Su wouldn't have been injured so badly. She sighed and said to him.

"Your body is your own, your life is your own, why bother trying to block it? You are the one who is suffering now!"

There was a hint of blame in her words, but to Su Sheng, it sounded like a little girl's coquettish behavior, which pleased him very much. So even though he was weak, his attitude was good. He forced himself to sit up a little, and then took Wu's hand, his eyes full of tenderness and care.

"For so many years, I have wanted to protect you from the wind and rain, but I was powerless. I finally got such an opportunity, how could I let it go? Now it's just a broken rib. Even if I broke my legs or hands, I would be willing to do it."

"Nonsense, don't you know your age? If you lose your hands and feet now, what will you do for the rest of your life?"

"What should I do for the rest of my life? I'll just rely on you, what else can I do? I don't think Miss Wu would be so cruel to my cousin!"

Su Sheng smiled when he finished speaking. Seeing him like this, Wu's originally nervous mood was relieved a lot.

Imprisoned here, there wasn't much they could do, so they were in a better mood. At least they had more energy to take care of the children. Looking at the children sleeping beside them, they felt heartbroken.

"The adults locked us up, but not necessarily the children. It's been so many days, and the child hasn't even left this door. No wonder he's so hard to coax. I don't know who's behind Uncle Nie. He actually locked us up here for so many days. It's crazy!"

When Su Sheng mentioned this, some reminder flashed in his eyes. He shook his head gently at Wu, then glanced out the window. Soon Wu realized that this was not Ning'an Garden, nor was it their territory, so it was certain that walls had ears.

Instead, Su Sheng gently wrote a few words on her palm with his fingers.

Disaster comes from the mouth.

Mrs. Wu frowned, looking somewhat reluctant, but could only nod to show that she understood, and then said some meaningless words to Su Sheng, but the two of them used their fingers in their palms to indicate what they really wanted to express.

It was unrealistic to escape at the moment, but if they knew where they were, at least they would have a better idea. Since entering this place, the two of them had not been allowed to open the windows, probably because they were afraid that they would notice something.

Just looking at the furnishings in the room, the two men were not gods, so naturally they could not see any problems. However, Su Sheng had been doing business outside for many years and had some knowledge of all kinds of chores. Although he had a sack on his head on the way here, by comparing the sound of horse hooves and the shouting outside, he estimated that they should still be in Xijing City, and there was a high possibility that they were near Ning'an Garden.

When he expressed this conclusion, Mrs. Wu widened her eyes and expressed her incomprehension.

But Su Sheng wrote the word "fragrance" on her palm, and Wu suddenly had memories.

When Ning'an Garden was first built, all the famous trees were transported from the south of the Yangtze River. Among these trees, there was a kind of fruit tree that had its own unique fragrance. Even if it was not in bloom, it would still have a faint fragrance.

Su Sheng was curious, so he studied it deliberately, and therefore had a special impression of the taste.

Lying here unable to move for these days has made him calmer. Perhaps God is helping them, because the wind is blowing in the direction that brings the faint fragrance over to him.

Therefore, they were discovered by Su Sheng. If the smell could be smelled here, it could only mean one thing: they were actually not far from Ning'an Garden.

Uncle Nie was not stupid. He knew that Pei Zisu would search every corner of Xijing City, so he placed them near Ning'an Garden. This proved the saying: It is darkest under the lamp.

Unfortunately, neither of them has the energy to inform the outside world now, so they have to wait until their injuries are better before making any plans.

After having this idea, Mrs. Wu also had other thoughts.

She had never noticed this so-called fragrance before, so this alone was not enough to confirm it. So she thought of a way and shouted to the maid outside.

"Go tell Uncle Nie that the two children want the quilt they used to sleep on. Otherwise, they will keep crying. If he doesn't want Zi Su to find us, the two children will be too thin, so ask him to find a way to get the quilt over."

The two maids looked at each other in embarrassment. If they went to get the quilt now, wouldn't that tell everyone where they were?

But after taking care of them for the past few days, these two children can really cry, day and night, waking up from crying and then falling asleep, waking up from sleeping and then crying again, and their little faces have become thinner due to the tossing and turning.

When they were sent here, they were told to serve well, so they could only report to Uncle Nie and wait for his reply before answering.

"It's really troublesome."

Uncle Nie was a little unhappy when he heard this, but when he was in Ning'an Garden, he also saw that many things of the two children were indeed reserved for specific people. Now if he allowed the two children to continue to quarrel like this, it would definitely affect the children's growth. If he saw Pei Zisu at that time, he would be unable to explain, so he could only nod and said.

"Go tell the lady that I will take care of this matter and will deliver it as soon as possible."

"Yes."
