Song Heng leaned against the curtain with his arms folded. Although he looked leisurely and lazy, Su Yao knew that underneath his leisurely appearance, he was always in a highly tense state of mind, like a leopard lurking in the dark. As long as there was any opportunity, he would take the opportunity to leap up, bite the throat of his prey, and kill it with one blow.
There is a bustling street below Sanyuan Building. Even if you are in a private room on the second floor, you can hear the noise below.
Song Heng did not answer Su Yao's question. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and suddenly said, "The Xu family has taken the people back."
Su Yao stood up, walked to the window and pushed it open a little. Sure enough, he saw the guards of the Xu family surrounding a carriage and moving carefully forward.
The Chengguo Mansion acted really quickly. They had just finished their court session and, with the permission of Emperor Yuanfeng, they rushed to the imperial prison to pick up Xu Rui.
Since Song Heng, the assistant judge, was not here, it went without saying that the person who released the person must be Lai Weiqi.
Su Yao snorted, watching the Xu family's carriage go away, and knocked on the table to remind Song Heng: "Letting a tiger go back to the mountains will bring endless troubles. Mr. Song, you are too bold."
"Same here." Song Heng felt no pressure at all. He looked at Su Yao for a moment and suddenly smiled: "If you want to catch a big fish, you have to take some risks, right?"
After asking this question, Song Heng sat opposite Su Yao, watching her white and slender hands holding tweezers to take the white porcelain cup out of the boiling water and pouring tea gracefully, and then said: "You should be careful recently."
Su Yao, who always thought he was quite smart, was stunned by these words so suddenly that he looked up subconsciously: "What?"
"You stood up for your brother, which also made you a thorn in the eyes of the Xu family. What's even more unfortunate is that my father and I went to the Su family several times, and then the incident with Xu Ying happened. Even though I couldn't react for a while. But..." Song Heng gave him an understanding look and said slowly: "But people can't help but think too much. Besides, a mother wolf will usually go crazy after losing her cubs."
... ...
Song Heng's evaluation of Mrs. Xu is really...
Su Yao wanted to laugh, but suddenly stopped.
She thought about it seriously and finally remembered that when Song Heng just returned to Beijing, Mrs. Xu had complained to the Empress Dowager because she threw Xu Ying into the Jinshui River.
Mrs. Xu's complaint was also very creative. She did not say that Song Heng was hopeless and too much, she just said that like dragons, like phoenixes, like phoenixes. This caused the saying in the capital that Song Heng's biological mother was a prostitute to spread.
Insidious, precise, and vicious.
Su Yao finally reacted to Song Heng's reminder and indicated that he understood: "The Xu family will definitely make frequent moves in the future. They want to deal with us, and this is also our opportunity."
I'm afraid they won't take action. People are always like this. The more they do, the easier it is to make mistakes.
Song Heng wanted to say something else, but San Sheng knocked on the door, urging him on: "Master, the Taoist priest asked you to go back, saying there is something urgent!"
Having stayed here long enough, Song Heng stood up to say goodbye to Su Yao, then suddenly stopped and asked her, "Do you like tea very much?"
Why do you ask? Su Yao poured the remaining tea on the tea pet, thought for a moment and said, "Not really, it's just that when I have nothing to do, drinking tea is the only pastime."
Ever since she returned to the He family, she began to learn tea art out of habit. At first, it was because she heard that Mrs. Su San liked it, and later... ... she didn't use this skill, but she had gradually gotten used to it. When she was worried or wanted to be quiet for a while, she liked to be alone with a cup of tea.
Song Heng nodded thoughtfully and went out.
Yan Cao came in and helped to clean up the tea sets. At the same time, she said to Su Yao, "Miss, I have found out that the most famous place for making cakes is Jiudingzhai in the east of the city. I heard that when the high officials in the capital hold weddings, most of the wedding cakes are made from Jiudingzhai."
Mrs. Shen is having a birthday celebration, and according to the rules it is her daughter's job to order the wedding cakes.
Su Yao nodded, opened the snacks that Yancao bought, tasted them, and asked Yancao to settle the matter with Yinzi later.
Yancao agreed and asked Su Yao: "So are we going home now?"
It’s almost done, Su Yao agreed casually, and after Yan Cao packed up her things, he led her downstairs.
Yu Dong had been waiting downstairs. When he saw her, he hurriedly called her "Miss". Su Yao nodded, held Yan Cao's hand and got into the carriage.
When they got home, their carriage was still waiting at the corner for a while. Yu Dong explained in a low voice outside: "Today is the day of the funeral of the second son of the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion."
today
Send the second son and pick up the eldest son...
Su Yao lowered her eyes and said, "I understand." After waiting for a while, their carriage continued to drive into the side door.
When her carriage entered, the corner gate of the Su family slammed shut. In a carriage that had been parked under a large tree opposite, Princess Chun'an lowered the curtain and asked Shao Wenxun, who was also in the carriage, indifferently: "The Su family likes to go out now."
She paused for a moment, and the smile on her face turned cold and sarcastic: "I think about it, Linghui's matter is closely related to the Su family."
She and Zhang Linghui are good friends. Although she is angry at Zhang Linghui's deception, in the final analysis, people always consider closeness first and then right and wrong.
"The Su family is too cruel." Princess Chun'an lowered her head and frowned, "Even if Linghui did something too much, her crime is not punishable by death. Yet, they killed a person and acted as if nothing had happened."
Shao Wenxun, who was writing furiously on the side, looked up and followed her gaze when he heard her words. Seeing the side door of the Su family, he raised his eyebrows, thought of the anonymous letter, and laughed coldly.
The Su family was indeed very good in using him as a stepping stone to deal with the Cheng family and the Qin family, making him lose all the reputation he had accumulated over the years in one day.
"Don't bother with people like this." Shao Wenxun put his arm around her, with a rather subtle smile on his face: "After all, they don't have many chances to make trouble again. Before that, we have to jump around."
Princess Chun'an turned her head and looked at him, and immediately realized what he meant - yes, the Su family's action this time was indeed excessive. Xiao Cui first tore off the faces of the Xu family and the Zhang family in front of most people in the upper circle of Beijing, and still felt that it was not enough, she put them on the ground and stepped on them.
Others may be able to endure such grievances, but how could Mrs. Xu possibly endure it
Seeing Princess Chun'an thoughtful, Shao Wenxun touched her hair and smiled meaningfully: "Besides, when the prince returns this time, he must hate those people in the Su family as well."
Xu Rui is a very unreasonable person.
