Aunt Liu covered her lips with her handkerchief and exclaimed: "Master, do you mean that this Qi family has already been married? What happened to her child?"
"It is impossible to have sex after drinking. My father was so drunk that day that he lost all consciousness. In fact, nothing happened between him and Qi Wan. That child is actually Mr. Qiu's."
As Su Zhen said, Su Tingye initially thought that the child was his, but after repeated verifications, the truth was that Brother Ying was not his child.
After being exposed, Qi Wan originally wanted to argue a few words, but Qiu Ying's appearance made her unable to speak anymore.
Gradually, she let go of Su Tingye's clothes, and without saying a word, she collapsed on the ground.
Su Shen'er asked: "Mr. Qiu, you are a teacher in Qingzhou, and you have obtained a degree. The saint you admire and admire is watching you in heaven. If you still remember that you are a scholar, don't lie or conceal it.
Please tell the truth."
Qiu Ying pursed her lips, glanced at Qiwan, and finally shook her head.
Su Zhen said: "Mr. Qiu, you can rest assured. My father is the Crown Prince and Tutor. He understands justice well and knows that you are also a miserable and miserable person. As long as you tell the truth, I, Su Zhen, can guarantee that you and your family will be safe."
My family will live a safe life."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ying's expression turned a little loose, and Qi Wan's face turned ashen.
"Master Su is right, Qi Wan is the wife that my matchmaker is marrying."
"As far as I know, your family is well off, but you don't have a concubine. Less than a month after you married Qi Wan, she disappeared, but you didn't report it to the official."
"I didn't dare to report it to the official! Because this vicious woman sent people to arrest my parents! It would arouse others' suspicion, and I was left alone to walk around. Later, I heard that she was taken away by a high official in the capital.
I know I can't fight, so I don't dare to go to Beijing. I just feel sorry for my elderly parents, who are always uncertain about their life or death!" Qiu Ying was very angry. If the servant hadn't pulled him, he would have rushed up and tore Qi Wan into pieces.
"Does the person who took your parents away have any characteristics?"
"No! They are dressed in black! They have no conspicuous tattoos and no tokens."
"Oh? What about Qi Wan?"
Su Zhen smiled maliciously, but Qi Wan turned around and glared at Su Zhen and Qiu Ying, his eyes full of resentment.
"She? She has a black tattoo of a goshawk on her arm."
Su Tingye seemed to have expected this. Among the others, only Aunt An's expression changed.
The goshawk pattern is the symbol of King Qin's secret guard.
It turned out that Su Zhen and Su Tingye had known for a long time that Qi Wan was Shang Yici's man. But Su Tingye was willing to hide it for a year, and only revealed it today! They and their son allowed the rumors to ferment, and when the trouble couldn't end,
Only then did they expose Qi Wan, what on earth did they want to do?!
Qi Wan wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with the back of his hand, his eyes became extremely cold, and he slowly stood up from the ground.
"Su Tingye, you have known for a long time that I am lying to you. I am acting like this just to wait for the opportunity to drag him into trouble."
The word "he" naturally refers to Shang Yici.
Su Tingye sneered and couldn't say no.
Su Zhen looked at Qi Wan with a look that looked like a fool: "Ms. Qi, King Qin secretly did bad things and harmed the people. He is such a vicious person, but you listened to his words and came to my father as a spy to drive a wedge between him and me.
The bond between the prince and the queen’s family! I really don’t know how to describe you other than a stupid word.”
"You are talking nonsense! Your Highness is not a bad person! They have done a great favor to my Qi family. If General Yu hadn't saved my Qi family's female relatives back then, we would have died tragically!"
"To call you stupid is really flattering you! They saved your Qi family naturally because you had room for use. Look, won't this come in handy today?"
"But the person who framed my father back then was the prince's maternal grandfather! He was also the one who led people to kill my father and brother and destroy my nine clans! And your Su family actually teamed up with them! How can I not hate it!"
Su Zhen laughed and shook her head with some pity, but she didn't want to tell the truth.
Hearing with the ears is false, seeing with the eyes is true.
She had no evidence and Qi Wan couldn't believe her even if she said a thousand words.
"Dad! I'm going back to Siwei's office first, and you and eldest sister will handle the rest."
After saying that, Su Zhen and Xiao Chuhong bowed to them and left the Su Mansion directly.
Su Tingye looked at Qi Wan, although what he and Qi Wan said was false from beginning to end. Apart from sleeping together on the first night, there was no other deviant thing.
A few months ago, he had thought that if he let Qi Wan go, he would not be able to swallow this breath.
But he and Qi Zhen were close friends. If he killed her, he would feel ashamed of Qi Zhen.
But today, Qiwan has become more useful.
The rumors for three days were just to make the King Qin party relax their guard.
Wait until tomorrow, everything will be different.
Since Su Zhen and Xiao Chuhong came to Siwei's Yamen, they had a great time playing chess and drinking tea.
On the contrary, Yu Changqing and Jin hurriedly searched for the remaining eighty beads without touching the ground, hoping to break the curse.
"You Ning! There are only three hours before the court! Neither the beads nor the murderer have been found! You actually still have the heart to drink tea!" Jin Lian walked up to them and said angrily.
"What's the rush? What's supposed to come will come."
"You are so calm! Have you found the whereabouts of the beads?"
"No! No! I don't want to play this move here!"
While Su Zhen was talking to Jin Lian, she was playing chess with Xiao Chuhong.
"You don't regret your decision. You have already regretted it a lot." Xiao Chuhong was helpless.
"Really? But my name is Su Zhen, not Su Buhui."
Su Zhen rolled her eyes, and the cup in her hand suddenly fell out of her hands and fell onto the chessboard with a clang. Tea splashed everywhere, causing all the chess pieces to be disrupted.
"Hey! I'm sorry! My hand slipped! I'm generous, I'll give you a draw! If you don't accept it, we can go to a cockfight and a cricket fight!"
Jin Lian: "."
Yes! He'd better shut up.
After Jin Lian left, Xiao Chuhong wiped the chessboard with a dry handkerchief and said, "That person should have passed the news to the palace, and it's time for us to take action."
"Then let's go to the theater!"
Su Zhen stopped laughing, stood up expressionlessly, smoothed out the non-existent wrinkles on her body, quietly opened the side window, the two looked at each other, and climbed out of the window.
Under the night, two black afterimages, one behind the other, flew along a remote route and finally arrived at the palace.
It was the curfew at this time, and the people had already returned home. Every household had locked its doors and windows, and only watchmen and guards patrolling the city were walking around in the streets.
At midnight, a loud and long blast suddenly sounded, breaking the silence outside the city.
Outside the city of Kyoto, hundreds of black shadows quietly appeared, and with the sharp sound of "swish, swish, swish" breaking through the air, the soldiers on the city tower were killed without any precautions, and some bodies even fell from the city wall.
