Xie Lin felt that something was not right today. Su Rong seemed to have not returned home after sending Zhou Gu away. She was also missing from dinner at night. 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 Xiaoqi went to live in Xie's Mansion for a short while. Suddenly, two people were missing. My father and mother didn't get 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 ghost.
Qingfeng spent some time and came back and said in a low voice to Xie Lin: "Young prince, I heard that Miss Su Qi went out of the city to see off Young Master Zhou, and then went to Xie's Mansion. Xie Mansion then invited the people from 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.
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 matter how much information they found, they were not able to find out."
"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? She was afraid that I would find out?"
Qingfeng nodded, "Perhaps this is the reason. After all, everyone in the Su family thinks that you have a close relationship with Young Master Zhou. 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, I see Miss Su Qi jumping around so much that 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, Miss Su Qi, and Ji, 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 wanted 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 looked like a gentle, gentle and delicate girl, but did she really like to fight with others?
He wanted Qingfeng to investigate again, but when he thought about it, Su Rong was Zhou Gu's fiancée, and he was always trying to pry. If he pried too much, it wouldn't be good, especially since the people in the Su family were very nice to him.
, he lives in other people’s homes, eats from other people, drinks from 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.
The next 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. You can't lie in bed for me to recuperate? Stay."
What do you do 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 said solemnly: "My life experience is not a good one. I am in a lot of trouble. 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 recovering from an injury?"
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 know the history of Nanchu State thoroughly. After all, it is the history of her ancestors, so that she can understand Nanchu, 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 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 vegetable market and announced his 35 major crimes, including the murder of the prince. After the announcement, he immediately
Beheaded in public display.
There were five crimes among them, which came from the confession and evidence of Jiang Xing's father. The court considered 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 Tribes. She stared at Su Rong’s face and asked, “Did you already know this? 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 many years, would suddenly be convicted and executed. I heard that Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yunying cried miserably before they died. I remember them arrogantly scolding me in front of me.
You are still fresh in my memory."
Su Rong didn't have any extra emotion to share with the Jiang family, "If he dared to take sides early and murder the prince, 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, "Do 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 surprised, "How is that possible? Your father will never leave Jiangning County!"
Su Rong looked at her surprised look and sighed, "Mother, 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? You haven't always been
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 snorted, "I'm just saying that, why are you happy? After leaving Jiangning County, your father said he was afraid he wouldn't 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 up."
"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 Protector's Palace, you still have to wait for the people from the Protector's Palace 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."
