Mr. He sighed. Although he was very angry that his sister was so confused, she was his biological sister after all, so he finally softened his heart. When Su Yao came out, he coughed and asked Su Yao to get on Madam Su San's carriage.
Su Yao was stunned.
She never rides in the same car with the third wife.
Nowadays, even Mrs. Su San’s room is rarely visited.
But after she was stunned for a moment, she still obediently listened to Mr. He and got on Madam Su San's carriage.
Su Rong was seeing the guest off and raised his eyebrows when he saw this.
As he watched the carriage go away, before he could say anything, he heard someone click his tongue. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw Song Heng, wearing white python arrow sleeves.
Normally, Song Heng liked to wear the flying fish suit of the Jinyiwei. The black color made him look like a Shura who was not easy to mess with. But today, when he wore such an outfit, he looked just like a normal young man from an aristocratic family. The only difference was that his eyebrows and eyes were still too delicate, making him more outstanding than ordinary people.
"Mr. Song." Su Rong quickly responded and bowed politely to Song Heng: "Mr. Song, your presence is truly an honor to my humble abode."
Song Heng hummed and glanced at Chen Dong. Chen Dong showed Su Rong the gifts in his hands and said with a smile, "Excuse me, please help us light some firecrackers. We are here to wish you a happy new year."
Li Rui, who had been stunned for a long time, finally woke up at this moment. When he heard that they were here to pay New Year's greetings, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was with the killer Song Heng just last night, and saw with his own eyes how Song Heng killed Wu Wangkun without changing his expression.
This Shura, who usually killed people as easily as killing chickens, actually came to pay New Year's greetings. He walked forward blankly, took the huge firecracker, and looked at Su Rong.
Seeing Su Rong nodded, he didn't let the servant at the door help him. He carried the firecrackers to the bottom of the steps and lit them in front of the archway.
There is an unwritten rule among the families of nobles and officials in the capital that at the end of the day, whoever's house has the most firecracker debris in front of his door means that he is popular, holds a high position, has a high status, and is very popular.
Therefore, every Chinese New Year, the whole morning is filled with the sound of firecrackers.
This year, the Su family set off an unusually large number of firecrackers. After Song Heng came to visit, several neighbors next door also came to visit, so that Master Su San had just dealt with Su An's matter and was busy as soon as he got home.
Song Heng himself was entertained by Su Rong himself.
After entering the main hall, Su Rong asked Song Heng to sit down. After watching the servants serve tea, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Song was laughing at just now?"
"Nothing." Song Heng raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "I just think Fourth Miss Su is quite interesting."
Su Rong frowned, not wanting to talk to Song Heng about his sister, so he asked again: "I wonder how many people Cheng Dingan recruited?"
He knew that Song Heng would not come to his house for no reason, and the only connection between them and Song Heng now was Cheng Dingan.
Cheng Dingan targeted the Su family so much and also brought up the Guo Chongxing incident. Needless to say, it was definitely related to the Weichang case that year.
Judging from Song Heng's expression, he was clearly overly interested in what happened in the enclosure back then, otherwise he would not have helped the Su family out of trouble these two times.
"He's a tough guy who won't say anything." Song Heng narrowed his eyes and spat out six words, tapping his fingers on the table. "He refused to admit that he was the one who set up the trap for Guo Chongxing to commit suicide. He insisted that he did everything to help Wen Shichang - he put all the responsibility on Wen Shichang."
Su Rong's face was solemn: "He has guards around him..."
"His guard named Wu Shan committed suicide as soon as he entered the imperial prison, saying that he was sorry for his master. He accepted money from Wen Shichang, so he went to trouble Wu Wangkun." Song Heng turned the cup in his hand, his eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, "All the responsibilities were taken by his guard, and the rest were pushed onto Wen Shichang. The terrible thing is that before Guo Chongxing got into trouble, he had indeed been to the Wen family, and many people can testify to this."
In other words, the current situation is favorable to Cheng Dingan.
As long as Cheng Dingan can insist that he has no knowledge of the matter, he really can't do anything to him-----Su Rong saw Lai Weiqi's attitude that day. He knew that although Song Heng was now deeply favored by the emperor, the Jinyiwei was not something Song Heng could control in a short period of time.
It would be fine if there was evidence, but if things continue like this, Cheng Dingan might be able to get away in the end.
"Wen Shichang..."
Before Su Rong finished speaking, Song Heng laughed and said, "The father and son of the Wen family have been taken away by Commander Lai. He said he wanted to interrogate them personally."
It is true!
Su Rong's expression suddenly turned gloomy.
They have been busy for so long, just to use Cheng Dingan as a breakthrough point, so as to lay out what happened that year in the open and get to the bottom of it when the time comes.
But now Lai Weiqi is clearly trying to cover it up.
"What do you think, Mr. Song?" Su Rong suppressed his annoyance. Before Song Heng could reply, Chen Dong came in quickly. He didn't care that Su Rong was right in front of him. He went straight to Song Heng and bowed, "Sir! The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery has surrendered to the Southern Pacification Office. She appealed for the injustice of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and his son, saying that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and Wen Shichang were wrongly accused. She has evidence!"
Song Heng immediately raised his eyebrows, and without even bothering to greet Su Rong, he stood up and left without saying a word.
Su Rong seemed to be thinking about something.
It seems that Su Xingyi has really understood the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery thoroughly.
She said that Marquis Zhongyong had always been cautious and would always be prepared for anything he did. Now it seemed that she was right. The wife of Marquis Zhongyong was also involved in this matter and knew about it.
It's easier if you're informed.
He heard that Master Su San had returned and started to entertain guests, so he asked He Jian to push him to Su Xingyi's yard. It was almost noon, and Old Madam Su was too lazy to see guests, so she should be talking to Su Xingyi at this time.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered Su Xingyi's yard, he saw Yu Xia, who was in front of the old lady, directing the little maids to chase a rabbit in the corridor. Seeing him coming, Yu Xia hurried forward and lifted the curtain herself.
The room was very lively. Not only the old lady was there, but also the brothers Wen Zongbin and Wen Zonghua. They were sitting quietly on chairs listening to the old lady talking to Su Xingyi. When they saw him coming, they quickly stood up and called him uncle.
Su Rong responded gently, and then said: "It's New Year's Day, why are you all so restrained at home? The streets outside are bustling, go out and have fun."
At the same time, he asked He Jian to lead them out.
The children were very playful after all. After hearing what Su Rong said and seeing Su Xingyi nod, they hurriedly followed He Jian out.
Su Rong then said to the old lady and Su Xingyi: "The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery went to the Southern Pacification Office."
