She is so calm and composed, and has no longer cared about getting anything from you. This is what makes people most uneasy.
Mr. Qiu's forehead was originally very painful, but at this moment, the pain was nothing to him. On the contrary, Su Yao's words were like flying knives, cutting him all over.
Young Master Qiu was a little dazed. Although he was not as cunning and sophisticated as his father, he was also very sensitive to danger. From Su Yao's attitude, he had already sensed a strong sense of danger.
This made him panic.
After hesitating for a moment, Young Master Qiu secretly went to see his father to see what his father would say.
Mr. Qiu was a little unsure about Su Yao's current attitude. He spoke cautiously, observing Su Yao carefully and asked her: "Then... then what do you want to know..."
Although Su Yao kept saying that he could investigate the old man and the steward, Mr. Qiu always felt that this was just Su Yao's trick of playing hard to get. He didn't believe that Su Yao could really find out everything. He felt that Su Yao was just deceiving him.
Su Yao looked at him with a smile: "If I want to know, someone else will tell me. I never make deals with people who don't tell the truth."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand without hesitation: "Drag them away. I heard that the Third Young Master Qiu particularly likes girls aged twelve or thirteen..."
The Third Young Master Qiu, who was named, shuddered suddenly and looked at Su Yao in fear and trepidation. This girl was obviously very beautiful, but for some reason, the more he looked at her, the colder his back felt.
Mr. Qiu didn't react for a while. He opened his mouth in a daze when he heard Su Yao say that his son liked girls around twelve or thirteen years old.
However, Su Yao quickly made a decision: "Since the Qiu family likes to burn things so much, have you cleaned up the separate warehouse?"
Young Master Qiu's entire body was tense, as if a monster was lying on his back, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.
Mr. Qiu also had a heavy face: "County Lady..."
"You two, father and son, coveted the native girl from the weaving mill, colluded with Mu Tong to rebel, and spread rumors everywhere..." Su Yao raised his eyebrows slightly: "You deserve to die."
She emphasized these four words, and saw that Master Qiu and the Third Young Master Qiu were howling like ghosts and wolves, looking at them sarcastically: "Since you have prepared so much tung oil, don't waste it. You are so ambitious that you were going to burn the weaving mill anyway, but we found you and caught you, and brought you to identify the scene. You were angry and wanted to die with us, so you deliberately set the warehouse on fire. As a result, this county lady was rescued by the guards, but you were buried in the fire. This should be very reasonable, right?"
She spoke lightly about the arrangements to be made later, as if she was not talking about the lives of the father and son at all, but was talking about how annoying it was that the dog bit someone and wanted to kill it quickly, which was just idle chat.
Young Master Qiu was trembling all over, but he was pulled up by Sanjiu.
At this moment, his mentality had collapsed. He could no longer remain calm and composed. He almost cried and yelled at Master Qiu: "Dad, say something! Say something, tell the county lady, you must know some news that can save us, right?! Tell the county lady quickly, do you really want to die here with me?!"
He could see that this crazy woman was not joking, she might really burn them to death to vent her anger!
How could Mr. Qiu not see it? Moreover, he was also panicked by his son's screaming and howling. When he heard his son's roar, his hands began to tremble.
It was not until the officers and soldiers came to drag him away that Mr. Qiu finally became afraid.
How could a person who was used to being a superior person endure such hardship, especially being burned to death? Just thinking about it was enough to scare him to death.
He shouted in a shrill voice: "County Lady, I know a lot more! I know about Miss Mu San!"
Hearing the words "Miss Mu San", Su Yao raised his eyebrows.
Then she nodded slightly at Sanjiu.
Sanjiu threw Master Qiu back with a plop.
Mr. Qiu was really frightened. He lay on the ground sweating profusely. He lay there for a while in shock. When he heard Su Yao coughing, he raised his head hurriedly: "County Lady, we... our escort agency is well-informed. I heard, I heard... Miss Mu San was recently captured and will be sent to Lion Mountain in Dali."
Hear
Su Yao looked at Mr. Qiu with a smile.
She thought that Mr. Qiu would reveal some other arrangements of Mu Tong, but unexpectedly, Mr. Qiu directly mentioned Miss Mu San.
Miss Mu San has been missing for quite some time. She and Mu Qinglu are actually very important.
After all, the imperial court had to have a legitimate reason to quell the rebellion, and it was also under the banner of supporting the Mu family to restore order. In this case, Miss Mu San and Mu Qinglu were very necessary. In fact, many people had been sent to look for them before, but for some reason, there was no news, and the only news that there was was false.
I didn't expect that the flowers I planted with care wouldn't bloom, but the willows I planted by accident would grow into a shade.
She hummed, raised her chin and smiled at Mr. Qiu, "Then, Mr. Qiu, have you heard where Miss Mu San and the others are now?"
The sky gradually brightened. Madam Yuan walked to the door and looked at the wood that had been processed. She breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her eyes. Just then she saw Yancao coming in from outside. She hurriedly called out to Yancao, "Yancao, where's Yaoyao?"
"The girl is watching over Tuantuan." Yan Cao had also been busy all night and was a little tired now, but she still tried to cheer up and replied to Madam Yuan with a smile, and then said, "The girl said that she will go to the Ji family to take a look later. If it is convenient for Madam, she can go with her."
Yesterday, Mr. Qiu's matter had been dealt with by Su Yao. Su Yao asked He Jian and Ruan Xiaojiu to personally escort Mr. Qiu and his son to do the work, presumably because of the matter of Miss Mu San that they had been talking about.
Later, Mrs. Yuan was busy having people dispose of the looms and wood that had been soaked in tung oil. After a while of busy work, daybreak came in the blink of an eye.
She thought for a moment and said, "When you're free, tell Yaoyao and I'll go with her."
Su Yao went to the Ji family, probably to see Ji Yunting.
After all, the Ji family was the first family to show goodwill, and Ji Yunting was injured while escorting grain, so it was natural for Su Yao to go there. Mrs. Yuan decided without hesitation to go with Su Yao. At least it would reduce some rumors.
Sometimes, some people's viciousness and stupidity are really unexplained. It's better to do less than more.
Yan Cao also nodded and hurried back to tell Su Yao.
