"Your father has won the trust and importance of His Majesty now. Until Your Majesty has no intention of replacing him as Prime Minister, Your Majesty will not allow his Prime Minister to have a bad reputation."
"Besides, for the royal family, face is more important than anything else. Your Majesty will not allow this matter to become public."
Su Qianxi curled her lips helplessly, and after a long time she said, "Power is really a good thing."
Who would have thought that when he was about to close the net, he would be told that his work was destined to be in vain.
Calculating it this way, the only gain from coming to Xuancheng is to save Mo Zechen and prevent Mo Zechen from being seriously injured this time, which will let Shen Jinchuan take advantage of it.
"Pfft——"
Mo Zechen thought that Su Qianxi had been silent for so long, and thought something had happened to her.
After holding it in for a long time, she finally said this and couldn't hold back her laughter.
With a slight smile in his deep eyes, Mo Zechen teased, "Princess, have you forgotten that you are also a person with power."
Su Qianxi glanced at Mo Zechen angrily, "So, I can only suffer this grievance in vain?"
Then she really suffered a big loss!
"how come?"
Mo Zechen picked up the teacup, drank some water to moisten his throat, and said slowly, "Didn't I tell you? You can start wanting something now."
"Gold, silver, jewels, fields, villages, shops, see how much you want."
Su Qianxi found a place to sit down by herself, with a look of disgust on her face, "I don't lack these things."
"You are not in need, but the Su family is."
Seeing Su Qianxi's disinterested look, Mo Zechen reminded her funny.
"Don't forget, your dowry was originally prepared by the Su family for Su Ruowei. As far as I know, your parents directly gave one-third of the Su family's wealth to Su Ruowei as a dowry."
"The Su family is not a small family. As the direct branch of your family, your father is also the patriarch of the Su family. He has the obligation to take good care of the poor side branches and settle the orphans and widows in the family."
"There are also miscellaneous expenses such as repairing the ancestral hall and setting up a private school for the children of the clan to study from time to time. It is a big expense."
"The Su family gave so many things to Su Ruowei as a dowry. No one in the Su family branch made trouble. It was Su Honghe who promised that the quality of life of other people in the Su family would not be degraded just because he gave Su Ruowei an extra dowry."
"But because Su Ruowei planned to marry you as a substitute, the generous dowry fell into your hands. Even so, Su Honghe's original promise still has to count."
Su Qianxi answered, "So, the Su family doesn't have much money now?!"
The corners of Mo Zechen's lips curled up slightly, "The Su family is rich, but after you speak, that's not necessarily the case."
"As for how much compensation you can get, if you want to get more without losing your mind, there are skills. Think about it while you still have time."
Mo Zechen had already reminded Su Qianxi that she would be stupid if she didn't realize it yet.
Mo Zechen's words provided her with new ideas.
Why does she stick to taking matters into her own hands and make the Su family pay the price?
It seems very interesting to watch the tiger fight from a distance, disintegrate the Su family from the inside, and let the Su family members kill each other.
She had to think carefully about how the Su family had to come up with the money even if it was reluctant when the lion opened its mouth.
In the office study room, Mo Zechen was dealing with official matters at hand, while Su Qianxi was sitting on the other side, writing and drawing on paper with a brush in hand, without disturbing each other.
The shadow outside the house inadvertently glanced inside the house, only to see the sunlight outside the house shining through the window, falling on Su Qianxi and Mo Zechen.
Although the two of them were sitting on separate sides and didn't even make eye contact, Yingying somehow felt that the atmosphere between the two was very harmonious, with an indescribable sense of harmony that made people smile knowingly.
****
After Su Qianxi rescued those women that day, their families went home happily after getting the money, and even boasted about the money they got to their neighbors.
It turns out that the villagers in the hometown learned that their daughter was abducted by bandits for several days before the government found out and rescued her. They looked at her with either sympathy or gloating.
As a result, in less than a day, all the previous sympathy turned into envy and jealousy.
That’s one hundred taels of silver! !
With this money, how many things can I buy?
People around him quickly asked where the money came from.
Adhering to the mood of showing off, they told others everything that happened in the government.
This incident was spread to ten, and soon it became known to everyone.
Su Qianxi struck while the iron was hot and bought a shop in the busiest area of Xuancheng. She spent a lot of money to invite the best embroiderers in Xuancheng to teach Yang Shuangshuang and the others how to embroider, allowing them to learn a craft.
She also spread the word that if any woman received unfair treatment, she could choose to come to her.
However, she accepted people with conditions, still one hundred taels of silver, in exchange for a death deed.
Su Qianxi had someone write big characters and post them in front of the shop's door. This largely eliminated those who just wanted to get some benefits.
As soon as this incident came out, Yang Shuangshuang and others were working as signboards, and many women directly ran to find Su Qianxi behind their families.
For a while, Su Qianxi was so busy that her feet didn't even touch the floor.
Mo Zechen returned from the Yamen for several days, but Su Qianxi still hadn't returned home.
The days passed in a hurry.
As expected by Su Honghe and Mo Zechen, he got the emperor's order and used the excuse of coming to help Mo Zechen handle matters in Xuancheng to silence Su Qianxi.
After traveling lightly and traveling for several days, Su Honghe finally arrived in Xuancheng. The first thing he did was to go to the prison to check on Su Hongyu's condition.
Fortunately, Su Hongyu didn't have any wounds on his body except that he looked much haggard.
After confirming that Su Hongyu was not injured, Su Honghe went directly to Mo Zechen. As soon as the two met, Su Honghe got straight to the point.
"Xiaoguan knows what Su Hongyu has done this time. If the prince has any requests, please feel free to ask. As long as I can do it, I will never say anything."
Su Honghe thought that his attitude was sincere enough, so he did not bargain, but asked Mo Zechen to ask for compensation.
He thought that since he had made his attitude clear, Mo Zechen would speak accordingly, but who knew that Mo Zechen just looked at him with an unclear expression and said nothing.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Su Honghe was looking at Mo Zechen with hair all over his body, and he asked doubtfully.
Mo Zechen put the brush in his hand, "I heard that the first thing the Prime Minister did after arriving in Xuancheng was to go straight to the prison to see Su Hongyu's condition."
"After confirming that Su Hongyu was not tortured, you came directly to me?"
