Yan Cao and He Jian were guarding outside the flower hall. They both heard the noise inside and looked worried for a moment, especially Yan Cao. She turned around with a pale face, but clenched her hands. In the end, she just gritted her teeth and stood in the corridor as before.
The girl said that even if the sky fell, she would wait until she finished talking to Song Heng.
She believed in the girl.
He Jian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this little girl had such composure. It was true that like master, like servant.
Compared to the worries of the people outside, Su Yao in the room was relatively calm. She took a step back, raised her head and looked at Song Heng seriously again. The two looked at each other for a while before she asked Song Heng: "What if I say it's because I know your background?"
Song Heng raised his eyebrows in surprise, then grabbed Su Yao's neck with one hand, pushed her against the closet, and looked at her coldly, as if he was looking at a dead object.
This was the first time that Song Heng showed such strong murderous intent.
Su Yao knew that even if this was in the Su family, even under the noses of Mrs. He and Old Lady Su, as long as she gave the wrong answer, Song Heng would kill her without hesitation.
If she were in his shoes, she would make the same decision.
But there was no better opportunity to make things clear than now. She tried her best to look less embarrassed and called out to Song Heng softly. Noticing that Song Heng's hand had become more powerful, she immediately said, "My grandmother, Madam He. According to seniority, you should call her Aunt."
That being said, that is enough.
Song Heng narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment before he let her go. He asked her expressionlessly, "What do you mean?"
"Minister Song should know what I'm talking about, otherwise he wouldn't have saved me and the He family again and again, right?" Su Yao said everything. Seeing Song Heng's uncertain expression, he simply told him about the Su and He families' black schemes: "You must know all this, right? Otherwise, the Wang family acted as a middleman to help the Pang family invite my grandmother over, so how come you were at the Wang family by chance? And you reminded me that the black bear went crazy on New Year's Eve. Did you know from the beginning that the black bear incident and the subsequent Guo Chongxing incident were all aimed at me, my grandmother and us?"
The fact that she could say this shows that she is truly certain of his identity.
I didn't expect that this girl had such strong insight.
Song Heng's hesitation was only for a moment, and he made a decision after a moment. He let go of Su Yao's hand and stood in front of the window looking at the lantern hanging on the tree outside.
He didn't speak for a long time, and finally said coldly: "You are really brave. How can you be so sure that I won't kill you?"
After all, only the dead can truly keep secrets.
Although the words were not very pleasant to hear, it was clear that he acknowledged what Su Yao said.
In this case, there is nothing to hide. Su Yao stood quietly not far behind Song Heng: "Because I believe you are not that kind of person."
This was almost nonsense. Song Heng frowned, endured for a while, and urged her: "How did you find out all this? Who told you?"
This is the key point.
"You told me." After Su Yao finished speaking, he saw Song Heng suddenly turned around and stared at him unkindly, so he coughed and said, "You also know that the Su and He families have been framed many times recently, and you personally experienced the Guo Chongxing incident. We have been investigating the truth of the enclosure case that year, and I believe you also know it."
Song Heng didn't interrupt her, but nodded for her to continue.
Su Yao continued, "My eldest brother has been investigating what happened back then. He doesn't believe that my uncle would leave his post without permission. After the incident at the enclosure, the Su family was severely damaged and has not recovered yet. But my eldest brother got a little clue and was killed. The Cheng family was involved in several difficulties faced by the Su and He families, so we identified our opponents. But similarly, we also had your unobtrusive help in escaping danger several times, so we naturally found it strange."
Su Yao spoke slowly and evenly, mentioning Mrs. He: "Besides, my grandmother's attitude was very strange when she first met you at the Pang family. I later found out..."
When talking about Mrs. He, Song Heng's attitude did soften a bit.
"Then why do you know that I arrested Song Shiyi and that he will be in trouble?" Song Heng rubbed his eyebrows, suppressed his irritation, raised his head and looked at Su Yao: "What did you find out?"
If anyone knew their trump card, they would never act so calmly. Su Yao frowned and looked at Song Heng for a long time before asking him, "You were the one who spread the news that the former crown prince still had some blood left, right?"
Song Heng turned his head quickly. This time he did not pinch Su Yao's neck like before. A breeze blew by, and he raised his eyebrows. His eyes were like stars in the silent night: "Why do you think so?"
"Because the Pang, Wang, Su, and He families were framed, they all have one thing in common, that is, these families are more or less closely related to the late crown prince. And similarly... you are involved in every one of these things. You are very concerned about the affairs of the Su and He families. Doesn't this explain the problem? It seems that you knew that the Su and He families would continue to get into trouble, and you have been helping them in secret..."
Therefore, while those people were plotting to frame the Su and He families, they were actually exposing themselves to Song Heng's eyes.
She finally understood why those people had not taken any action in the past ten years, but had been taking frequent actions recently, as if they were eager to cover up something.
After realizing this, Su Yao's expression became a little complicated for a moment.
I didn't expect that Song Heng had already started planning to find the person who harmed the prince so early on.
Seeing her suddenly stop talking, Song Heng was a little surprised. After a while, he suddenly said, "Take me to see Mrs. He and Mrs. Su."
He said this, obviously he was convinced, felt that the Su and He families could be trusted, and planned to have a frank talk.
Su Yao naturally had no reason to refuse. In fact, this was the best outcome for both Song Heng and Su He. If they understood each other's purpose, things would be much easier in the future.
She responded, opened the door and saw He Jian and Yan Cao standing in the corridor. When they heard the noise, they ran towards her. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Take the lantern and go to the old lady."
Yan Cao responded quickly, but He Jian glanced at the side hall: "Fourth Miss... .. Third Master is still waiting."
