Master Qin touched his ear and said disapprovingly: "She is just a little girl. Why do you have to spend so much effort and go through so much trouble to deal with her? You guys are too idle."
Mrs. Qin snorted coldly, too lazy to waste time talking to such a person.
Now that the news had been passed on, Mrs. Qin felt relieved and became curious about Su Yao again.
My daughter said that this girl is quite strange. Could it be that she has three heads and six arms
Su Yao is not a celestial being; on the contrary, she has been too busy lately.
It's not that she didn't manage the household when she married Cheng Dingan in her previous life, but Cheng Dingan's properties were not hers to manage. Most of the farms and shops in her dowry were what she managed, and they were relatively simple - Mrs. Su San was reluctant to give her the farms and shops. After all, no one knew how long Cheng Dingan would live.
Therefore, it took her a lot of effort to take over the Su family's affairs in this life.
Fortunately, she had some experience, and the old lady was very tolerant of her. With Su Rong and Su Xingyi helping her, she was able to take charge of the household affairs smoothly in the end.
Old Madam Su couldn't help but praise her in front of Madam He: "She is a smart one. Even though the family is so big and poor, the relationships are complicated. It's rare that she managed it without revealing anything."
Mrs. He also laughed, looking proud: "Yaoyao has always been smart. She can learn anything quickly."
The two talked for a while, and then the master of the needlework department that Old Lady Su invited Su to come. Old Lady Su smiled at Su Yao and said, "Go quickly and make some good clothes."
Su Yao answered yes and quickly left. Mother Shen was waiting in the corridor. When she saw her leaving, she hurried over to greet her: "Miss, Ruan Xiaojiu is here again."
"Let him wait in the side hall. I'll be there soon." Su Yao nodded to Mother Shen, and asked Yan Cao to take the master to her yard to wait first. She took Mother Shen to the side hall first.
Ruan Xiaojiu had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Su Yao, she said to him without waiting for Su Yao to ask, "Miss, I found out that Cheng Ding'an committed suicide in prison the night before he was to be exiled. They said he hit his head to death. I paid a lot of money to find out, and I found out that Cheng Ding'an hit his head and it was bleeding. I asked them if there was an autopsy after his death, but they all said they didn't know..."
Su Yao tightened his grip around the teacup.
She knew that this matter was not that simple, and there was indeed something fishy about Cheng Dingan's death.
Seeing Su Yao's serious expression, Ruan Xiaojiu did not dare to delay and told him all the information he had found out: "The night before Cheng Ding'an died, someone went to visit him in prison and said that a relative of the Cheng family stuffed a lot of money into his body to get him in. Because he was only sentenced to exile, the jailer let him in in the end... I don't know if it has anything to do with this matter."
Su Yao narrowed his eyes and ordered Ruan Xiaojiu in a deep voice: "Keep an eye on Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Zhan Changshi, and the Qin family!"
After saying this, she became a little annoyed again.
She is short-staffed now.
Ruan Xiaojiu, Yu Dong and Hu Ying are certainly capable, but they are not yet at the level of being able to defeat ten people alone.
They have to find out information, keep an eye on her, and sometimes even go out with her, which is really difficult for them.
Ruan Xiaojiu agreed without any delay.
Although it is indeed tiring to work for Su Yao, Su Yao is actually a very easy master to serve. As long as you do your job well, the rewards will be endless. Moreover, Su Yao never plays tricks to exploit people, and he never treats people as if they are human beings like others.
The longer he worked for Su Yao, the more he felt that it was a great fortune to be chosen by Su Yao.
There was a high possibility that Cheng Dingan was not dead. This news made Su Yao feel heavy again.
Wen Shichang would be instigated by the Qin family to cause trouble, so there is a high probability that Cheng Dingan was rescued by the Qin family.
But does the Qin family's actions represent King Zhuang's intentions
King Zhuang has extraordinary trust in Cheng Ding'an. Could it be that King Zhuang was really behind the prince's incident back then
But how old was King Zhuang at that time
She had many questions in her mind, and after a long time she shook her head coldly so that she could concentrate.
Before he could figure out what was going on, there was a noise outside. Then Su Rong was pushed in by He Jian. Seeing Su Yao sitting at the top with a frown on his face, he softened his brows and said, "When I came back, I heard that you had been sitting here for a long time. The craftsmen waiting to cut your clothes had been waiting in your yard for a long time. Your maids didn't dare to disturb you. What's going on? Is there something difficult again?"
Su Rong was always gentle when he was with her, and Su Yao's mood also improved. She shook her head and said, "It's not a difficult matter, just a little complicated." She told Su Rong about Cheng Dingan's matter.
It is inevitable that Cheng Dingan is involved in the Weichang case.
It is true that the Su family saved themselves this time and brought misfortune to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and the Cheng family, but there was still no progress on more important matters.
Now that Cheng Shouwang is dead, if Cheng Dingan were alive, that would be the biggest breakthrough, and of course we cannot miss it.
Su Rong also took this matter very seriously. He hummed and said, "Since you mentioned this, I just want to tell you that I have checked Guo Chongxing's family these days. Except for the dead Wu Wangkun, the other members of the Guo family were also arrested by the Jinyiwei. But I found out that Guo Chongxing also has an older son who also served in the army under his father. Later, he was sent to Jizhou by his father. That was before the incident in the enclosure. In other words, what Guo Chongxing knew is likely known to his son as well."
After all, he is the eldest son and he also serves in the army. If Guo Chongxing has any secrets, he will probably mention them to this son.
Su Yao immediately raised his eyebrows: "Well, besides you, brother, does anyone else know about this?"
"Not before." Su Rong said in a light tone: "But if Cheng Dingan is fine, then Cheng Dingan should also know."
If Cheng Dingan wants to make a comeback, what other options does he have
In the eyes of the world, he is already a dead man. Even if he is not dead, he is still a sinner. No one will help him.
Unless he can be a useful person.
But who would benefit most from holding this secret
King Zhuang... ..
If he wanted to gain King Zhuang's trust, he should have found Guo Chongxing's son and killed him.
Or the Qin family.
Or maybe he has used this secret to get King Zhuang or the Qin family to help him escape. Otherwise, why would the Qin family and King Zhuang take such a big risk
We must find the person first!
