My sister is very smart. Su Rong didn't need to explain anything. She just said, "As you said, we should cut the Gordian knot. They are in the dark and we are in the light. If we just passively let them attack us one by one, when will the game end? Besides, we can't just sit there and wait for the old fox, the Xu family, to show its tail."
There has to be someone more sophisticated than Xu Shundaoxing.
It will be easier to get things done when the water is muddied.
He snorted, feeling a little sleepy because he hadn't slept all night. He shook his head and pulled himself together before whispering to Su Yao about Young Master Li: "He dragged me out for a drink last night, and he was still talking about this marriage. I had already rejected it, but he didn't seem to want to give up. But don't worry, I have a way to prevent this from happening."
Prince Consort Tang had already done him a favor, but that favor was for the jade pendant.
When he brings the owner of the jade pendant over, Prince Consort Tang will naturally have to do him another favor.
It might be hard for others to say what happened to Young Master Li, but Princess Yongning and Prince Consort Tang always had some solutions. Prince Consort Tang had been in Guizhou for many years. His connections were all in Yunnan and Guizhou. Even because of this, Princess Mingchang's mansion had to give them some face during this period.
In fact, Su Yao was not that worried about Master Li Xiaojue. Princess Mingchang was just threatening Su Rong's future in Yunnan. But to be honest, in Su Yao's opinion, Su Rong was much more shrewd than Master Li Xiaojue. Even if Master Li Xiaojue deliberately found fault, he was no match for Su Rong.
Besides, Princess Mingchang underestimated her and Su Rong. How old was Su Rong? How many important things would he have to do in the future? How many errands would he have to run? If he had to marry a sister every time to gain peace and a future, the Su family didn't have that many girls to exchange.
She was more interested in something else. Seeing Su Rong talking about it, she simply whispered to Su Rong about the visit of Yunzhang County Lady: "She is looking for Sister Li all over the city. I don't know why she is here..."
Originally, I just wanted to ask Su Rong for help to see if he could find the whereabouts of Sister Li, but who knew that Su Rong's expression suddenly changed. He tapped his fingers on the table, then looked at Su Yao and asked her softly: "Yaoyao, how did she find someone here? How much do you know about Sister Li?"
Su Rong was rarely so serious in front of her. Su Yao knew something was wrong. Thinking of the anxious look on Yunzhang County Lord's face when she came to see Li Saozi, and thinking about how Yunzhang County Lord actually promised to make Li Xiaojue give up the idea of marrying her, she thought for a moment and asked Su Rong, "Brother, do you know something?"
Su Rong never thought of hiding it from Su Yao again, but before, it was a secret of the Tang family, and he himself had no intention of snooping, let alone telling it to Su Yao? So he didn't mention it. But now that the matter has been related to Su Yao, there is no reason to hide it, so he told Su Yao about the fact that Li Xiaojue sent people to search for Li's wife, and then said at the end: "I thought that Li Xiaojue's search for her was not a good thing, so I rescued her, and gave the jade pendant that she said Li Xiaojue was looking for to Prince Consort Tang... It was also because of this that Prince Consort Tang did me a favor."
Su Yao stood up and said, "Brother, take me out for a while. I want to see her."
In her previous life, she didn't know that Sister Li had some secrets. In this life, the relationship between her and Sister Li had not yet reached the point where they could be revealed. It was the most taboo to talk about deep feelings between people who were not familiar with each other, so she had to wait until now to find out that Sister Li was not an ordinary person.
But now is not the time to worry so much, she wants to know clearly.
Su Rong had never said no to Su Yao, so when he heard Su Yao say that, he just nodded without saying a word, and had already sent someone inside to inform the old lady, saying that he would bring Su Yao to the Wang family.
When she heard that they were going to the Wang family, Mrs. Su was very happy. She asked Yu Xia and Mother Ji to send out many things, all of which were for Wang Yuerong. They were new jewelry, and she said that they were for Wang Yuerong to wear during the New Year.
Su Rong couldn't help but shake his head helplessly after taking a look. After thinking about it, he handed it over to Qing Kun and asked Qing Kun to go to the Wang family first.
He took Su Yaojing out quietly and entered Jinxiu Tower. After a while, he went out from the back of Jinxiu Tower and hired a small oil-powered cart to go straight to the east of the city.
But it was not the Mentougou in Su Yao’s memory. It must be because he met Su Rong in this life.
Su Yao was stunned and had a lot of thoughts for a moment. He came to his senses when Su Rong stopped the carriage outside and shouted that they had arrived. He helped Su Rong get off the carriage and saw rows of bungalows everywhere.
"There's nothing conspicuous in here." Su Rong explained and led her to knock on the door. When the door was pushed open, Su Yao recognized that the two people guarding the door were Su Rong's personal soldiers, who were his current confidants. By letting these two people guard here, it was obvious that Su Rong felt that Young Master Li was determined to get Sister-in-law Li.
She pondered for a moment, and then she became more confident. She followed Su Rong into the courtyard and passed through the screen wall. She saw Sister Li doing needlework in the corridor of the small courtyard. She called out softly, "Sister Li?"
Sister Li was stunned immediately. She was surprised and shocked to see that it was her. The needle pierced her fingertips, and blood oozed out for a while. She quickly wiped it off and smiled at Su Yao: "Yes, although I knew that you were just the goddaughter of Madam Shen and Master Shen, I forgot that you said your last name was Su..."
She wiped her hands on the apron in front of her and came back to life: "Please come in and sit down!"
When Su Rong and Su Yao entered the house, she busied herself serving tea, fruits and snacks, as if this was not her temporary home, but her own home that she had been running for a long time.
Su Rong and Su Yao looked at each other and both noticed that there was something unusual about Sister Li.
Especially Su Yao. Yes, it was the same in the previous life. Although Sister Li was employed by the Shen couple, in fact, it was Sister Li who made the decisions on many things, such as opening up connections and helping with decisions. These were all things Sister Li contributed to.
I didn’t think much of it before, but now it seems that I’m afraid that Sister Li herself is not ordinary.
With this thought in mind, she said softly to Sister-in-law Li: "Sister-in-law, please don't be busy yet. I have something to ask you."
Sister Li finally went to serve a bowl of hot Laba porridge to Su Rong and Su Yao: "It seems that you all in the Great Zhou drink Laba porridge on Laba Day. I cooked it in advance as a token of my appreciation. You two can have a bowl each to get rid of the cold."
