Xie Lin felt that something was not right today. After Su Rong sent Zhou Gu away, it seemed that she did not return home. She was also missing from dinner in the evening. However, Su Rong and the eldest lady did not seem to have much appetite. They only ate a little and then put it down. After taking off his chopsticks, Su Xingze behaved as usual, but he felt that he was too quiet.
After the meal, Xie Lin quietly asked Su Xingze, "Brother Su, has something happened? Why do I think my uncle and aunt are not in a good mood?"
Su Xingze smiled and said, "Zhou Gu left, and Xiao Qi went to Xie's Mansion for a short stay. Suddenly there are two people missing. My father and mother are not used to it, so it's okay."
Although Xie Lin was confused when he heard this, he couldn't ask why Su Rong went to Xie Mansion to stay for a while, so he could only nod.
Returning to his residence, Xie Lin called his personal bodyguard Qingfeng and told him, "Secretly check what happened to the Su family today? Why do I always feel like something happened."
Qingfeng should be.
Xie Lin lay back on the bed, thinking that once Zhou Gu left, he found that Jiangning County was not that fun anymore. What a hell.
Qingfeng spent some time and came back and said in a low voice to Xie Lin: "Young prince, I heard that after Miss Su Qi left the city to see off Young Master Zhou, she went to the Xie Mansion. The Xie Mansion then invited the Huichun Hall Doctor, not long after that, Taishou Su hurried to Xie's Mansion. After Taishou Su came back, Mrs. Su and Su Xingze also went to Su's Mansion, but they didn't stay long and came back before dinner. Because The Xie Mansion is very tightly guarded, and the subordinates were afraid of being discovered, so they did not dare to investigate further, and no amount of information was found."
"You mean, Miss Su Qi fell ill after seeing Zhou Gu?" Xie Lin sat up from the bed.
"should be."
"Why did she go to Xie's Mansion? Why didn't she go back to the Prefect's Mansion?" Xie Lin asked, "Is it because I live in the Prefect's Mansion? Are you afraid that I will find out?"
Qingfeng nodded, "Perhaps this is the reason. After all, everyone in the Su Mansion thinks that you and Young Master Zhou have a close relationship. Perhaps it is to hide Young Master Zhou from you, for fear that you will tell Young Master Zhou?"
Xie Lin clicked his tongue, "Who is on good terms with Zhou Gu? I'm not a talkative person."
He pinched his chin and thought thoughtfully, "On weekdays, Miss Su Qi is very active and active, and she doesn't look like someone with any illness. But I heard that she often gets injured in fights with others. Could it be that after sending Zhou Gu away, Who did you fight with again? Are you injured?"
Qingfeng asked in surprise: "Miss Su Qi likes to fight and get injured? Who did you hear that?"
"On the day Jiang Sheng's daughter, Jiang Yunying, and Miss Su Qi got married, she stopped me and said a few words to me. She said it very tactfully, but that's probably what she meant." Xie Lin sneered, "I felt inexplicable at the time. What does it have to do with me? What did you say to me? Later I asked Zhou Gu. Zhou Gu said that Jiang Yunying had some issues with Su Rong, and her family paid a lot of apology as a gift to Su Rong and her hairpin. She was probably jealous and angry in her heart. But I didn’t dare to say anything in front of Su Rong, but I was unwilling to do so, so she tactfully passed me through and tried to give Su Rong eye drops.”
Qingfeng suddenly realized, "Does this mean that Miss Su Qi likes to fight with others? Is it true?"
"Maybe!" Xie Lin was also surprised. Su Rong, a little girl who seemed gentle, gentle and delicate, actually liked to fight with others?
He wanted Qingfeng to investigate again, but when he thought about it, Su Rong was Zhou Gu's fiancée. He was always prying around. Too much prying was not good, especially since the people in the Su family were very nice to him. , he lives in other people’s homes, eats and drinks other people’s food, and secretly sends people to inquire into other people’s private affairs. If people find out, what kind of words will he say, where will he put his face?
So, he waved his hand, "Okay, don't worry about it, you can go down!"
Qingfeng nodded and retreated.
Xie Lin lay back on the bed again, wondering if Su Xingze would postpone his arrival in Beijing and where he would go to play tomorrow.
On the second day, Su Xingze told Su Rong that he would come to Beijing after she recovered from her injury. Su Rong disagreed, "Brother, you should come to Beijing earlier. Can't you stay in bed to recuperate for me?" What are you doing at home? Go to Beijing early, get used to the local environment, communicate more with students, and find out the rules of the examination room. That’s what you should do.”
After she finished speaking, she solemnly said: "My life experience can be...
It's not a good thing, it's very troublesome. You must go to high school this fall. I still want to count on you to protect me in the future! "
Su Xingze said: "Even if I leave a few days late, I will definitely be able to go to high school."
Su Rong admired his self-confidence, but still refused, "That won't work. You'd better leave early. You have to prepare for everything early. Only by being prepared can you be safe. In case the journey is too short, you are in a hurry, or there is something wrong You can't afford to delay anything."
Su Xingze saw the seriousness of what she said and pointed out, "Are you not happy to see me every day?"
Su Rong said confidently, "Who would be willing to listen to you reading history to me while I'm recovering from my injuries?"
After the eldest lady left yesterday, she originally thought he was going to say something to her, but who knew that he turned around and asked someone to go to Xie Yuan's study to find a volume of the history of the Southern Chu Kingdom, and began to read it to her. Although, she should have a thorough understanding of the history of Nan Chu. After all, it is the history of her ancestors, so that she can understand Nan Chu, but she is not in a hurry. She does not have to start learning while she is recovering from her injuries. ?
God knows how much she wanted to drive him away when he was reading history yesterday.
Su Xingze laughed, "Okay, I'll set off in three days."
Although it was two days later than expected, Su Rong saw that he agreed and did not object. She also said, "Okay!"
The next day, the governor of Jiangzhou murdered the prince. The evidence was conclusive, and the news of the execution of the Nine Tribes spread to Jiangning County.
This imperial edict came so suddenly that the officials in Jiangzhou didn't even hear the slightest hint of it. Jiang Sheng was also shocked by the edict. When the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court to check him captured him, his face turned pale and he shouted Unjustly accused. But no matter how much he shouted, it was useless. The officials from the court did not put him in jail. Instead, they took him directly to the market and announced his 35 major crimes, including the murder of the prince. After the announcement, they immediately beheaded him in public. .
Five of the crimes were based on the confession and evidence of Jiang Xing's father. The court recognized Jiang Xing's family's righteous act of exterminating relatives, and thoroughly investigated that his family was not involved in bullying good people and committing crimes, so he and his family were exempted from the crime.
When the eldest lady came to see Su Rong, she told him about the Jiang family's execution of the nine clans. She stared at Su Rong's face and said, "Did you already know about it? That's why you let me accept the Jiang family's large sum of money with peace of mind that day." A congratulatory gift?"
"Yeah." Su Rong nodded.
"Did you hear what Zhou Gu said? He went to Jiangzhou early for something important, just for Jiang Sheng?" asked the eldest lady.
"Um."
The eldest lady sighed, "I didn't expect that Jiang Sheng, who had been oppressing your father for so many years, would suddenly be convicted and executed. I heard that Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yunying cried miserably before they died. I think they arrogantly scolded me in front of me back then. You are still fresh in my memory."
Su Rong didn't have any extra emotion to share with the Jiang family, "He dared to join forces early and murder the prince, so he should have thought about the consequences of failure."
The eldest lady nodded, "You deserve it if you dare to murder the prince. I wonder which new governor the court will appoint to Jiangzhou? Will it be easy to get along with him?"
Su Rong said: "You must be easy to get along with."
The eldest lady looked at her suspiciously, "You know again? Zhou Gu also told you this?"
Su Rong nodded.
"Who is he?" asked the eldest lady.
Su Rong smiled at her, "My father."
Madam: "..."
She was not happy but was shocked, "How is that possible? Your father will never leave Jiangning County!"
Su Rong looked at her surprised look and sighed, "Mom, my father has been living in Jiangning County for me for so many years. It's enough. Since His Highness the Crown Prince promoted him, how can he not be promoted? Haven't you always been there? Are you saying that you can't count on my father? Now that you can count on me, you should be happy. With my father appointed as the governor of Jiangzhou, my sisters' marriages will be more settled."
The eldest lady said, "I'm just saying it. Why are you happy? After leaving Jiangning County, your father said that he might not be able to protect you."
The eldest lady couldn't sit still, "Is this really true? The imperial court has really decided on your father? Before the imperial edict comes, I have to quickly get your father to give me some advice."
"Mother." Su Rong called her, "Today is different from the past. After I recovered from my injury, I decided to go to Beijing. Therefore, my father no longer needs to stay in Jiangning County."
"You want to go to Beijing after recovering from your injuries?" The eldest lady stopped.
Su Rong nodded.
"What are you going to Beijing for? Even if you negotiate a marriage with the Protectorate, you still have to wait for someone from the Protectorate to come." The eldest lady was puzzled.
Su Rong wanted to say, "I'll go to Beijing to cancel the engagement." But she was afraid of irritating the eldest lady. After all, she had really regarded Zhou Gu as her son-in-law for some time.
The eldest lady looked at her and suddenly changed her expression, "I heard from your father that you personally told Zhou Gu that your marriage to her was not urgent? You didn't mean to..."
Su Rong breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that her father had vaccinated her. She met the eldest lady's gaze and nodded, "Well, I want to go to the house in person to cancel the engagement."
See you tomorrow~
