Chapter 718 Su Wuming 17

Su Wuming was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

"You are too kind, young lady." He said softly.

The slightly awkward atmosphere between the two became much more relaxed because of the sudden jokes and laughter. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, as if coating them with a layer of golden halo.

Su Wuming looked at Chu Hua, who was bent over with laughter, with fine lines appearing at the corners of her eyes, and a feeling of heartache welled up in his heart. This girl, who looked heartless, was actually more serious than anyone else.

He stood up, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his tone: "Okay, stop laughing. If you laugh any more, your stomach will hurt."

Su Wuming said as he handed the remaining half of the sesame cake to Chu Hua: "Eat it, don't waste it."

Chu Hua took the cake with a smile, but she didn't take a big bite. Instead, she ate it in small bites, like an elegant Persian cat. Su Wuming looked at her, and his eyes softened unconsciously.

He thought of how Chu Huan had run to almost all the pharmacies and spice shops in Chang'an City in order to find those exotic spices, without even having time to drink water, and he felt a surge of heartache in his heart.

"Thank you for your hard work these days." Su Wuming whispered, with a hint of concern in his tone that he himself was not aware of.

Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, then she raised a bright smile: "It's not hard. For Mr. Su, this little thing is nothing." She deliberately emphasized the three words "Mr. Su", and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

Su Wuming's ears felt slightly hot, and he coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment. This girl is always so disrespectful, but she is hard to hate.

Su Wuming and Chu Hua walked side by side on the way home, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

"Mr. Su, I took note of your embarrassed look just now." Chu Hua blinked cunningly, with a hint of ridicule in her tone.

Su Wuming shook his head helplessly. This girl really kept talking about things that were not related to the topic.

"Don't make fun of me, girl." He whispered, with a hint of pampering in his tone.

"Hey, Mr. Su, you're blushing." Chu Hua pointed at Su Wuming's face and laughed even more happily.

Su Wuming subconsciously touched his face and found it was indeed a little hot. He coughed lightly, trying to hide his embarrassment. "It's getting late, girl, you should go back and rest early."

"Mr. Su, are you going to chase me away?" Chu Hua pouted pretending to be aggrieved.

Su Wuming looked at her cute appearance and felt soft in his heart. "Of course not, I'm just worried that the girl is tired."

He paused, then added: "You've been running around looking for the scent these past few days, it's really hard work."

Chu Hua was secretly happy, but she still pretended to be nonchalant. She waved her hand and said, "Hey, it's nothing. It's a small matter. It's my honor to serve Mr. Su."

After saying that, she winked playfully, with a sly smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Su Wuming was amused by her quirky appearance and shook his head helplessly. He found that he liked seeing her lively and agile appearance more and more. She was like a cunning little fox, but made people want to get close to her.

The two walked slowly and passed by a stall selling candied haws. Chu Hua's eyes were immediately attracted by the bright red candied haws and her steps slowed down.

Su Wuming followed her gaze and immediately understood her thoughts. He walked to the stall, bought two strings of candied haws, and handed one to Chu Hua: "Try it."

Chu Huan gladly took it and said sweetly, "Thank you, Mr. Su." She couldn't wait to take a bite. The sugar coating was crisp and the hawthorn was sour and sweet, making her squint her eyes in satisfaction.

Su Wuming watched her eat happily, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He suddenly remembered that he had never been so relaxed. Since his master left, he had shut himself off and devoted himself to the case, rarely having such a relaxing moment.

"Mr. Su, you should eat too." Seeing that he was just looking at her, Chu Hua handed him another string of candied haws.

Su Wuming was slightly stunned, then smiled and took it. He took a bite like Chu Hua, and the sweet taste of the sugar coating spread in his mouth, relaxing his originally tense nerves a lot.

The two of them ate as they walked, chatting and laughing all the way, the atmosphere was harmonious and warm. As the sun set, the two figures became long, as if they had merged into one.

Lu Lingfeng followed the clues all the way and finally found the bride's carriage in a remote forest outside the city. The villagers said that the horses pulling the carriage were covered in blood and sweat, which was very strange.

Seeing this, Lu Lingfeng did not dare to delay and immediately turned his horse around and galloped to find Su Wuming.

The sweet atmosphere was broken by a burst of hurried footsteps. Lu Ling came running over in a hurry, with a trace of anxiety on his face, and shouted from a distance: "Su Wuming!"

Su Wuming and Chu Hua turned around at the same time, the sweetness of the candied haws still lingering in their mouths, forming a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere brought by Lu Lingfeng.

Su Wuming frowned slightly: "General, why are you so flustered?"

Lu Lingfeng described his findings in detail, emphasizing the abnormal condition of the horses. After listening, Su Wuming fell into deep thought, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

Combined with Dou Yulin's previous abnormal behavior, a bold guess gradually formed in his mind. He looked up at Lu Lingfeng with a hint of certainty in his eyes: "Could it be Dou Yulin?"

Lu Lingfeng also thought of this, and he slammed the table: "It's very likely!"

The two exchanged opinions and agreed that Dou Yulin was the most suspicious.

"Why would he do this? Could it be..."

"The bride's younger brother? Dou Yulin?" Chu Huan licked the remaining syrup on the candied haws, with a hint of doubt in her tone.

"Miss, have you thought of anything?" Su Wuming keenly caught the change in her tone.

Chu Hua rolled her eyes and smiled slyly: "I just find it strange, how could a good horse suddenly go crazy? Unless someone did something to the horse."

She paused, then added, "And Dou Yulin seems to be the one with the most motive."

"Oh? Why are you so sure, girl?" Su Wuming asked with interest.

"Think about it, Dou Yulin has been obstructing this marriage in every way from the beginning. He seems anxious about the bride's disappearance, but who can guarantee that he is not acting?" Chu Hua analyzed: "If he really doesn't want his sister to marry him, then tampering with the horse, creating chaos, and taking the opportunity to kidnap the bride is a good idea."

Su Wuming nodded, thinking that Chu Hua's analysis made sense.

"General, you just said that the horses were covered in blood and sweat. Did they seem to have been poisoned?"
