Su Qianxi's eyes were burning, and she looked at them condescendingly without saying a word.
Facing Su Qianxi's scrutinizing gaze, everyone held their heads high and met Su Qianxi's eyes. Their eyes were full of determination without any evasion.
Su Qianxi withdrew her gaze with satisfaction, "Everyone, get up. I will accept your promise. As for whether it is a casual statement or a sincere one, we will find out in the future."
She helped them today, although part of it was out of sympathy, but more importantly, it was because Su Qianxi felt that she could gain from them.
She has paid so much money, so she has to gain something.
After Su Qianxi settled everything, she went to find Mo Zechen.
Mo Zechen looked at the death contract that Su Qianxi brought back and placed it on the table, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's worth spending so much money to get these pieces of paper?"
Su Qianxi looked at Mo Zechen with a half-smile.
"Whether it's worth it depends on the situation in the future, but in the eyes of the prince, it should be worth it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have specifically asked the Shadow Guards to guide me to deal with these matters."
Hearing this, Mo Zechen raised his head and glanced at Su Qianxi, "When did you find out?"
He was not surprised that Su Qianxi would find out about his arrangement. He was just curious when Su Qianxi discovered this.
"I was suspicious when I saw Shadow. After all, he is your personal bodyguard. How could he leave your side at will without your instructions."
"And it was such a coincidence that as soon as I showed up, he also happened to show up."
Su Qianxi poured herself a cup of tea. She had talked too much just now and she was a little thirsty.
After drinking the water, Su Qianxi spoke slowly.
"Later I just asked casually, and he answered in such detail. It was obvious that he couldn't have just arrived. He must have stayed for a while and understood everything before he could answer in such detail."
Mo Zechen nodded slightly. It was true that Shadow was careless and did not handle the details well. Talking too much turned out to be a flaw.
"I do intend for you to handle this matter. After all, you rescued the people, and they are all women. It is more appropriate for you to come forward."
"only--"
Mo Zechen paused for a moment, doubts flashed across his eyes.
"I don't understand why you spent so much money to deal with this matter. There is obviously more than one way to deal with this matter."
Su Qianxi pursed her lips and smiled, "Because the more money you spend, the more people will know."
Mo Zechen frowned, why did he think Su Qianxi was playing riddles with him?
"If you have something you want more outsiders to know, wouldn't it be easier and faster to spend some money to spread some rumors?"
Su Qianxi shook her head and rejected Mo Zechen's proposal.
"Those who sold their daughters and took the money and ran away are not like low-key owners. Now that they have money, they will definitely spend it lavishly."
"No matter how many rumors are told, what can be more trustworthy than what you have seen with your own eyes?"
Mo Zechen's dark pupils looked at Su Qianxi for a while, and his thin lips parted slightly.
"It seems that you have other plans. Originally, I thought that I had a lot of things to deal with and didn't have time to accompany you."
"You are not familiar with the place here. You may be bored by yourself. I was thinking about arranging for someone to take you back to the capital first. Now it seems that you have found something to do on your own."
Su Qianxi didn't know that Mo Zechen actually thought about sending her back first, so she immediately dismissed Mo Zechen's idea.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty. I have no intention of returning to the capital yet. Besides, I don't have any close friends in the capital that I can have fun with. It will be boring to go back."
Mo Zechen didn't speak, Su Qianxi diligently held the teapot, poured a glass of water for Mo Zechen, and handed it to Mo Zechen.
"I have found something to do here now. We will talk about returning to the capital later."
Seeing that Su Qianxi was so impatient to give up the idea of sending her back, Mo Zechen lowered his eyes, a smile flashing across his eyes.
It was rare to see such obvious emotions on Su Qianxi's face.
Under Su Qianxi's eager eyes, he raised his hand to take the tea cup and changed the topic.
"As for your kidnapping by Su Hongyu, I sent it to the capital yesterday along with other memorials. If nothing else happens, Prime Minister Su should come to Xuancheng in person in a few days."
"Have you decided what you want?"
Su Qianxi was stunned by the question, blinked, and said bluntly, "I don't need anything, and I don't need their compensation. I just want them to pay the price they deserve."
Mo Zechen stopped drinking water and raised his eyes to glance at Su Qianxi. After confirming that Su Qianxi was serious, Mo Zechen temporarily put down the teacup, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his handsome face looked a little troubled.
"Do you know how much weight the title of Prime Minister carries?"
Before Su Qianxi could speak, Mo Zechen gave Su Qianxi a good introduction to science.
"The Prime Minister - is the head of a hundred officials, commanding them to assist in government affairs."
"If you want to sit in this position, in addition to being capable, you also need to be loyal to His Majesty. Only then will Your Majesty be able to trust him with the position of Prime Minister."
"Your father himself is a staunch royalist and has won the trust and importance of His Majesty."
"In normal tit-for-tat fights between you father and daughter, Your Majesty will favor you for my sake. But in big matters, His Majesty never sees right or wrong, but gains and losses."
Speaking of this, Mo Zechen paused to give Su Qianxi time to think.
Mo Zechen spoke so clearly, how could Su Qianxi not understand what he meant.
Your Majesty will not allow her to delve into this matter.
But - why?
She married Mo Zechen, and even if it wasn't for Mo Zechen's sake, she could still be regarded as a member of the royal family.
Su Hongyu didn't even have an official position, he was just a commoner, and he kidnapped the Princess Regent in broad daylight at the feet of the Emperor. This was a slap in the face of the royal family, and His Majesty actually planned to make her give up the investigation.
Seeing that Su Qianxi's brows were furrowed and she seemed to have something she couldn't figure out, Mo Zechen spoke again.
"Su Hongyu kidnapped you on impulse. In order to evade responsibility, he planned to kidnap you again. As a result, you were taken away by the bandits and almost sold by the bandits to a dirty place like Fireworks and Willow Alley. The fault of this matter is Su Hongyu's. There is no doubt about it.”
"But if we want to dig deeper into this matter, it means putting it out in the open for everyone to see."
Mo Zechen stretched out his long and strong hand, landed on the death contract Su Qianxi casually placed on the table, and tapped it a few times with his fingers.
"Didn't you see the lessons learned from these people?"
"If things get serious, not only the Su family will be embarrassed, but you, the regent princess who was kidnapped by the bandits, and even the entire royal family may be criticized. This will affect the whole body."
