In fact, Qi Yunxi seldom gets angry, but once she gets angry, it is not something that can be easily resolved. The people serving below were all so scared that they dared not even breathe. The male attendant who was slapped did not even dare to cover his face. He got up from the ground and knelt upright, begging for her forgiveness with a terrified expression.
The room was filled with a suffocating silence, in stark contrast to the bustle outside.
Qi Yunxi heard many people talking in the corridor outside, all talking about this case. Everyone was very curious about who had such a deep hatred for the Su family and who had bribed the midwife who helped Mrs. Su San give birth many years ago and said that the other person's biological child was not their own.
She became more silent.
After an unknown amount of time, she looked out of the window and saw through the dark crowd that the masters of the Su family were being surrounded by servants coming out.
Mrs. Su San had been helped onto the carriage. Old Mrs. Su stood at the door and saluted Xiao Heng with a rosy face, obviously very satisfied with today's result.
The person following beside her was naturally Su Yao. Qi Yunxi's gaze even passed over Xiao Heng and kept lingering on Su Yao.
As if sensing something, Su Yao raised his head in her direction, and the people below hurriedly closed the window.
In fact, nothing could be seen through the bustling crowd and the long street, but Su Yao knew very well in his heart that the culprit was somewhere not far away, waiting for the result and waiting to see the Su family make a fool of themselves.
But no matter who they are, they are destined to be disappointed this time.
A hearty smile appeared on her face.
Qi Yunxi immediately reached out and smashed another cup.
Mrs. Su said goodbye to Xiao Heng before getting on the carriage. As soon as she got on, she grabbed Su Yao's hand and said, "What a close call! But you were right. There is indeed someone hiding behind us, eyeing our family covetously! We finally caught them red-handed this time!"
Ever since the Qiao Danning incident, those people have always been doing some disgusting things behind the scenes, but they just don't know where to find the real opponents.
Not knowing who your opponent is is what really makes you angry.
Whether it was Qiao Danning or Huang Bingcheng who came later, they were just scapegoats pushed out in the open. After all, the Su family didn't even know who they were, let alone any hatred.
The feeling of someone watching you from behind is like a leech on your tarsal bone.
This time they finally revealed their true colors.
Old Mrs. Su leaned on the pillow that Su Yao handed to her. She was old after all, and after all this tossing and turning, all the bones in her body seemed to be falling apart, and she almost couldn't hold on. So she simply leaned her whole body on it to calm the emotions in her heart.
Then she closed her eyes and opened them again: "If they can find out what happened back then, I think these people have been eyeing our family for a long time."
I'm afraid they are the people who framed the prince and the Su and He families back then.
Old Mrs. Su's hands trembled slightly, her chest tightened, and she solemnly held Su Yao's hand and patted it: "Yaoyao, you have worked so hard, and... it is difficult for you."
What Mrs. Su San did was so hurtful that even Old Mrs. Su felt that Mrs. Su San was too cruel and cruel.
Su Yao was also a little tired, so she lay down on Old Lady Su's lap. The two of them stayed in silence for a while before she spoke in a dreamy voice, "Forget it. She used me, and I used her too. Ever since she threw something and then stopped making any noise, I had people keep a close eye on her. What does this mean? I also subconsciously didn't trust her. There's nothing to be sad about."
If you don't give and don't ask, there will be nothing to be disappointed about.
Old Madam Su touched her cold hand, and when she returned to the mansion and saw Su Xingyi coming to greet her, she first said coldly: "Take her back to the main courtyard, and we'll talk about the rest later."
Su Xingyi agreed and looked at Su Yao worriedly. She was relieved when she saw Su Yao smile at her soothingly. She nodded and asked someone to drive Mrs. Su San's carriage directly to the main courtyard of the third house. She came over and supported Mrs. Su's other arm.
A few people returned to Kangping Garden, and Su Rong followed in, bringing with him a chill. Old Madam Su hurriedly asked him to sit down and asked him, "How is it?"
In fact, the Su family had already assigned people to keep a close eye on the third room since Mrs. Su San became strangely quiet. Nanny Zhong's sneaky movements in and out to report news had also been noticed by them.
Along the way, when Nanny Zhong and the others went to see the Shen family's steward, the Su family had already guessed what those people were planning. The reason they allowed them to make such a big fuss was just to play the long game and catch a big fish. Now it seems that they have finally caught a lot of fish.
Su Rong sat down at the side and took a sip of the tea handed to him by the maid. He looked at Su Yao first and saw that she looked normal before he said, "The midwife had actually moved once before. Later, because of a flood in her hometown, she went to live with her youngest son who had married into another family. It was not easy for ordinary people to find her. They were able to find her because they asked the local big family, the Min family, for help. And the Min family..."
He paused, then continued, "The two people who bribed the Shen family's manager used silver notes from the Min family's bank... After tracing the matter, I found something very interesting - Qiao Danning's apparent wealth was due to winning a large sum of money in the Min family's gambling house."
In other words, the previous incident and this matter of bribing the midwife and the Shen family's manager are all related to the Min family.
Even if the Min family is not the mastermind, they are definitely a powerful thug.
Old Madam Su sighed and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. It is a pleasant surprise to be able to find this out. It is better than us rushing around aimlessly."
People are not afraid of fighting, what they are afraid of is not knowing who to fight with.
Don’t we have a direction now
This time, it happened at the right time.
Her spirits lifted. "Then we'll keep a close eye on the Min family! I want to know who is behind the Min family."
The fog that had shrouded the family for so many years had been torn open with a big hole, and the shadow that had been following them like a shadow was about to be revealed. Old Mrs. Su was filled with joy, tapped her fingers on the table, and couldn't help but sneered: "For so many years, these people have been hiding so well under layers of shells, and now they are finally going to be exposed."
Even though we cannot catch the person directly now, being able to catch the Min family is already a victory. I'm sure the people behind the scenes won't feel good either.
Su Rong hummed solemnly, and then said: "Third Aunt..."
It is not appropriate for younger people to talk about the right and wrong of their elders, but the tone in which Su Rong mentioned Mrs. Su San was not very respectful.
