Chapter 10 Salted Fish Lies Down

Being reminded by Chu Lian, Yao Suyu also noticed something unusual, and she thought thoughtfully:

"Sparrows are small and hard to catch. After roasting, not even a single piece of meat can be picked out. Adults don't care about them at all. Only the greedy children like to catch them and eat them."

There is also something like pig liver. Yao Suyu is a modern person and knows how to eat pig liver to replenish blood.

But in ancient times, this thing was pig waste that no one wanted. It was not even as good as pig bones. It was usually minced and fed to chickens.

Not to mention the people in the capital, even the people in the bitter and cold frontier areas probably would not eat this food. Firstly, they don’t know how to cook it, and secondly, eating pigs will reduce the price.

The more I thought about this matter, the stranger it became. Yao Suyu frowned: "The emperor really said that I must solve the case within three days?"

"That's right, only three days." Chu Lian nodded slightly.

Yao Suyu's eyes rolled around, and he asked Chu Lian for help in a very discreet manner: "I wonder if the prestigious Lord Governor can lend a helping hand to help me?"

But Chu Lian slowly but firmly shook his head.

"No."

"Why not?" Yao Suyu's voice suddenly rose.

She is a weak woman with no connections or resources, how can she investigate the case?

If there was really a lot of involvement behind this, and she fell into someone else's trap unintentionally, she wouldn't know how she died.

If she had known this, she might as well have packed her bags and left early. Even if she was a refugee, it would be better than scheming and deceitful here.

Yao Suyu couldn't help but remind, "Don't forget, I helped you get rid of the Tongxin Gu before."

Chu Lian didn't feel guilty at all, "But I'll help you get rid of Wei Gaojin."

"But you did it for your own sake. If he took your wife away in front of so many of your subordinates, where would you put your face?"

"Okay, let's not mention this matter for now. I just dealt with you in front of the emperor, and I have already repaid your kindness for helping me remove the poison."

Yao Suyu glared at Chu Lian angrily, thinking that saying a few words in front of the emperor would be enough to save his life?

But after thinking about it, it seems that it can indeed be achieved.

After all, he was a moody emperor, the most powerful emperor in the world. He held the power of life and death and could chop off whoever's head he wanted.

This is not a society ruled by law, and Yao Suyu does not feel that he is the reincarnation of a koi carp and has good luck, so he can offend the emperor unscrupulously.

"Okay! Since you said so, then let's just say you are back." Yao Suyu didn't argue so much with Chu Lian.

She sighed deeply, rested her chin on her hand, and looked helplessly at the sky.

After others traveled through time, they were either blessed by golden fingers or had a perfect start. They had a smooth journey and steadily reached the pinnacle of life.

What about her?

Once you pass through, it will be a disaster. Before you can live a comfortable life for a few days, you are in danger of losing your head.

"Alas..." Yao Suyu sighed again deliberately for Chu Lian to hear.

Seeing that Chu Lian had no response, Yao Suyu muttered to himself again and said pitifully:

"If you can't find the murderer, your head will be chopped off by the emperor. But even if you can find the murderer, my life is still in your hands. Who let me be poisoned by you?"

"Since extending your head is a knife and shrinking your head is a knife, let's forget it."

Chu Lian didn't quite understand: "What's the matter?"

"Do you know salted fish?" Yao Suyu asked.

"Dried fish that has been sun-dried and salty."

"That's right, I'm going to be a salty dried fish. Before the three-day period is up, I can get more sunshine, so as not to be locked in a dark and cold dungeon with no chance of seeing the light of day before I am beheaded."

Chu Lian finally understood, what are you talking about? To put it bluntly, you are just waiting to die!

But Chu Lian didn't say anything to dissuade him. He didn't believe that Yao Suyu was really so courageous. He just refused to do it and openly opposed the emperor.

Not to mention, Yao Suyu really had such monstrous courage. After all, the era Yao Suyu lived in was a time of democracy and harmony, and she did not have much fear or respect for the imperial power.

It was not like most people in this dynasty who respected the emperor as if they were making offerings to gods and Buddhas.

"I'm leaving, you can go about your business!" Yao Suyu thought about it and waved to Chu Lian very coolly.

Chu Lian was stunned for a moment: "What are you going to do?"

"Sleep." Yao Suyu said as she walked without stopping at all. "Only sleeping can make me happy."

Chu Lian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed it.

Why did he feel that Yao Suyu's negative and depressed look was done deliberately to show him?

Are you trying to force him to help?

"Interesting, let's see who can outlast whom."

Yao Suyu acted as if everything had nothing to do with me and lay directly on the bed with his face covered. This not only aroused Chu Lian's interest, but also deceived several pairs of eyes hiding in the house.

In the evening, when it is getting dark.

Chenghua knocked on Yao Suyu's door: "Madam, would you like to pass on dinner?"

"I have no appetite, I can't eat."

Yao Suyu's feeble voice came from the room, and a trace of urgency and worry flashed across Chenghua's face.

"Madam, are you feeling unwell? Please ask an auxiliary doctor to come over and check Madam's pulse."

"No, leave me alone."

Seeing that Chenghua couldn't persuade her, Yao Suyu had no choice but to hurriedly go to see Chu Lian and tell him about the situation here.

Since she was appointed by Chu Lian to be Madam's personal maid, she had to shoulder her own responsibilities. If she allowed her master to ruin her body, then it would be wrong for her to be a slave.

Chu Lian wanted to say that since Yao Suyu didn't want to eat, forget it. He must be not hungry, and he would naturally pass on the food when he was hungry.

But the moment he spoke, Chu Lian thought again of Yao Suyu's superb medical skills.

Forget it, let's save some face for Yao Suyu in front of the servants.

So Chu Lian said to Orange Blossom in a deep voice: "Go and ask the kitchen to prepare some appetizing and digestible food for Madam.

People are not made of iron, so they still have to eat some. Try to make it small, nice and delicate, and coax my wife to eat it."

Seeing that Chu Lian was so concerned about Yao Suyu, Chenghua raised her heart in her throat and then slowly let go.

When Yao Suyu returned to the room with a depressed look on his face, Chenghua thought that his wife had a conflict with the governor. But how could a woman in the back house have the right to quarrel with her husband?

If she hadn't figured out Yao Suyu's character yet, Chenghua would have advised Yao Suyu and Chu Lian to keep their heads down. Only by coaxing her men well can this woman have a good life.

Now seeing that Chu Lian was not angry with Yao Suyu, Chenghua entered the dining room with a happy face and ordered dishes from the busy cook.

"Make some spicy and sour appetizers, and serve some delicate pastries. Madam has no appetite today, so she may not be able to eat them.

You have to be more careful and prepare a few more things. If anyone can make the lady happy, whet her appetite, and be noticed by the governor, then your good days will come."
