When Old Lady Su arrived at the front lobby, Lai Weiqi was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed and talking to someone next to him. Li Rui was waiting on the side, cautiously accompanying her. When he heard the noise, Lai Weiqi looked up and saw Old Lady Su. His eyes flashed, and he stood up with a cry: "Why did you disturb the old lady? This is our fault."
Old Madam Su said indifferently, "What are you talking about, Commander Lai? I heard that you came to visit our Rong'er. What can you do for me?"
Lai Weiqi's eyes fell on Su Rong beside her, and then glanced at Su Xingyi, then she smiled again: "It's like this, Master Zhang died, and the Zhang family came to sue, saying that their Zhang family has nothing to do with the Liang family, and the so-called arranged marriage is ridiculous, so..."
Old Madam Su frowned and sneered, "Since when did the Jinyiwei even get involved in such matters? Isn't this a waste of talent?"
Lai Weiqi shouted, also with a look of indignation on his face: "Old lady, please understand, this case was not originally our responsibility, but who knew that there were some difficulties in this matter, you don't know yet, right? Miss Zhang hit her head and died."
What?!
Old Mrs. Su's expression changed a little. She looked up at Su Rong and Su Xingyi, unable to hide her shock.
Zhang Jingchan is dead?!
Su Xingyi and Su Rong were also a little surprised. They looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Everyone knows that Zhang Jingchan can no longer become the concubine of Prince Zhuang, but on the surface, neither the palace nor the Ministry of Rites has issued a clear order.
So at this time, if something happens to Zhang Jingchan, it could be a big deal or a small deal.
Moreover, the Royal Guards intervened and even caused Lai Weiqi to come to the door... Old Madam Su looked at Lai Weiqi unkindly and asked with a straight face: "So, what does this have to do with us?"
Lai Weiqi looked at Su Rong with a fake smile, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, old lady. The Zhang family insisted that Liang Cheng came to the Zhang family to slander the Zhang family and destroy Miss Zhang's reputation. Look, this incident forced Master Zhang to death and also forced an unmarried girl to death. If it is really an injustice, it can be regarded as the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, right?"
Before Old Lady Su could say anything, Su Rong spoke first: "So, Commander Lai came to visit because he thought I had something to do with this matter?"
"It's not decided yet, it's not decided yet." Lai Weiqi laughed, his face full of smiles, and he was polite and considerate. "It's just that Miss Zhang was originally the concubine of Prince Zhuang. If she was really wrongly accused and her reputation was ruined, it would be too unfair and it would be against the royal family. That's why this case was handed over to our Jinyiwei to investigate, and I have to come to your house to ask for clarification."
His meaning was very clear. This matter involved the royal family, so they, the Jinyiwei, came to investigate the case. He also told them that the idea behind this matter was from the higher-ups, and he was acting on orders, so the Su family had better be obedient.
Old Mrs. Su's heart suddenly sank. She knew very well what Lai Weiqi meant.
"What do you want to ask clearly?" Mrs. Su felt heavy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "Even so, what does this have to do with us?"
"Whether they are related or not, you will know if you ask them." Lai Weiqi smiled and leaned over to support the handle of Su Rong's wheelchair, looking at Su Rong deeply: "Master Su, the Zhang family pointed out that Liang Cheng is very close to the servant next to you. They suspect that Liang Cheng was instructed by you to deliberately frame the Zhang family."
As he spoke, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said lightly: "In that case, I'll have to trouble you to come with us."
Su Xingyi was horrified, subconsciously grabbed Su Rong's hand and shook her head: "No, you can't take him away..."
The Jinyiwei were good at calling a horse a zebra, especially Lai Weiqi, who was on Prince Zhuang's side. Ever since the Wen family incident, Lai Weiqi's attitude towards the Su family had been made clear. If Su Rong fell into his hands, Su Xingyi didn't dare to think about how much suffering he would have to endure, not to mention whether the charges would be brought against him in the end.
Old Madam Su also subconsciously clenched her hands, and her eyes shot towards Lai Weiqi like sharp arrows: "Just based on these, Commander Lai wants to arrest my grandson? Where is Liang Cheng? Does Commander Lai have his testimony to prove that he was instructed by my grandson?!"
Lai Weiqi raised his eyebrows lazily: "It is precisely because we can't find Liang Cheng's trace that we need to ask Master Su to go back and ask."
"How ridiculous!" Old Madam Su was furious, her voice trembling a little: "We haven't even found Liang Cheng yet, and you want to take my grandson away just based on the words of the Zhang family. Are you bullying me because there is no one in the Su family?!"
Lai Weiqi sighed, stood up with the hand that was supporting Su Rong's wheelchair, and looked at Old Madam Su, saying expressionlessly: "How could that be? Old Madam, we Jinyiwei have always been fair in our work. Now we just want to invite Young Master Su to the Zhenfu Division to sit down and talk things out. What's the matter? Is there any problem?"
Old Mrs. Su was shaking with anger.
She immediately understood the malicious intent - she didn't believe that the Xu family wasn't involved.
Otherwise, given the current situation of the Zhang family, how could they possibly have the ability to alert the emperor and have the Royal Guards come to the Su family to ask for someone? !
But because of this, her heart suddenly turned cold.
The Xu family must have planned this out. How could Su Rong withstand the torture in the imperial prison? !
Lai Weiqi looked at the old, weak, and disabled people in the room with satisfaction, and said with a little impatience: "We have to go back and verify whether it is true or not. Don't worry, old lady. If it is not true, no one can force Young Master Su to admit it. If you delay any longer, it will really make it difficult for us."
Old Madam Su and Su Xingyi were at a loss, but Su Rong suddenly chuckled. He straightened his robe and said calmly, "Commander Lai is right. Since I have a clear conscience, I am not afraid to go with Commander Lai. Please!"
Lai Weiqi hummed. Not seeing Su Rong panic, he seemed a little dissatisfied. He looked him up and down, and then asked abruptly, "Young Master Su is disabled, but we don't have a carriage ready."
Old Mrs. Su was extremely angry.
This was clearly an intentional humiliation of Su Rong.
But even so, Su Rong could still hold back. He looked at Old Madam Su and Su Xingyi soothingly, and said gently: "Don't bother you, we will prepare the carriage ourselves."
Lai Weiqi was about to answer when a familiar voice suddenly came from outside.
"Why bother?"
Lai Weiqi's face froze.
Soon after, Song Heng came in with Chen Dong, and patted Lai Weiqi on the shoulder: "Mr. Lai, you are also a veteran in handling affairs, why are you so inconsiderate?"
