The old lady was very worried and visited Xi Lanting personally.
The next day, when Yun Qiao got up early, she heard Du Xiaoqin talking to Fourth Master Xi in the living room.
"...Did this offend anyone?"
"have no idea."
Yun Qiao walked downstairs slowly, and Du Xiaoqin hurriedly waved to her to come over.
"I'm afraid the Su family's marriage won't happen." Du Xiaoqin told her.
Yun Qiao knew it well: "Forget it then."
"Do you know what happened to the Su family?" Du Xiaoqin lowered her voice.
Fourth Master Xi clicked his tongue: "Stop talking about this, Yun Qiao is still a child."
As a result, when Fourth Master Xi went to work, Du Xiaoqin still told Yun Qiao the secret.
"...The boy from the Su family was visiting the house, and actually got together with a servant of the house, and spoiled the family. The boss of the house was so angry that he had him castrated." Du Xiaoqin said.
Yun Qiao: "..."
The court servants in the hall are the highest-level tricksters, and they sell love.
Cultivating Qing GuoRen, who is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, costs money and time. Therefore, Qing GuoRen wants to earn back the cost of training her over the years and then sell her at a high price.
Many poor people earned their reputation and eventually received celebrities.
It is tantamount to cultivating "courtesans". Such noble courtesans are the hallmark of a noble family.
Unexpectedly, the child of the Su family has neither money nor fame. He can easily destroy someone else's status as a heir, which is tantamount to destroying someone else's money tree.
Therefore, Du Xiaoqin thought it was reasonable and didn't think much about it.
But Yun Qiao knew that this matter was not simple.
"How come you, a pure butler, like Master Su?" she asked Du Xiaoqin.
Young Master Su is average-looking, greasy and shallow. What kind of poor man would be so ignorant that he would risk his life to follow him?
Du Xiaoqin: "Young Master Su has a very sweet mouth. It is possible to trick a poor man into following him. But his mother and sister are quite annoying."
Yun Qiao glanced at Du Xiaoqin.
To be honest, Yun Qiao always felt that Du Xiaoqin was very discerning. When she chose Yun Qiao as her biological father, people said that he was an outstanding boy, but it was a pity that he was too poor.
Then Du Xiaoqin chose Fourth Master Xi, who was also honest, responsible and handsome.
Why did she go crazy when she arrived at Master Su's place, and actually said he had a sweet mouth?
Master Su's words were clearly vulgar and disgusting.
Yun Qiao wanted to get close to Du Xiaoqin. This was the first time that she felt that Du Xiaoqin was not normal.
She remained calm.
In the evening, Yun Qiao went to see Xi Lanting.
The attendant blocked her from the door: "Master Qi has gone to bed. He has not been feeling well these days."
Yun Qiao: "Is the seventh master handling the matter of the Su family child?"
Follower: "Master Qi asked people to do it. Master Qi will not be able to handle these things himself."
Yun Qiao: "Thank you, Master Qi, for me."
She turned and left.
The attendant closed the door.
He planned to go down to rest, but when he heard the bell ringing in the inner room, he opened the door and walked in.
Xi Lanting was wearing a milky white tunic, which highlighted his crow-green temples and dark eyes, giving him a different kind of clear distinction between black and white.
"What should I say?" He was holding a book in his hand, which was an ancient book.
When his attendant helped him organize it, he flipped through it and found that the words on it were strange and incomprehensible.
I don’t know which era the ancient book is from.
"Miss Yun asked about the matter of the young master of the Su family."
Xi Lanting hummed.
Attendant: "She said thank you Master Qi."
Xi Lanting raised his eyes from the book and glanced at his entourage.
The attendant immediately understood: "Miss Yun doesn't seem angry, but she sincerely thanks Master Qi."
Xi Lanting's eyes narrowed, and there was an indescribable bitter smile on the corner of his lips.
"Woman." His voice was soft, "He is cruel."
Follower: "..."
Mr. Qi, you asked someone to castrate Mr. Su. It’s not Miss Yun’s intention. Why do you accuse her of being cruel?
Aren't you the one who is cruel?
"Get out." Xi Lanting lowered his eyes to read the book again, turning a page gently without raising his voice, "If you continue to slander me, I will break your legs."
