Song Che hummed, and then asked Song Xiangyu: "Did Earl Yongding say what it was?"

"That's not what he said, but I don't think he's in a hurry." Song Xiangyu scratched his head. "He just said he'd wait for you to come back and let me give you a message, saying he'd come over when you're free."

Su Rong's personality is such that he would never show his emotions on his face unless it was an extremely urgent matter. It is really useless to use this standard to judge whether a matter is urgent or not.

Song Che thought for a while and didn't say anything more. He just took Song Xiangyu to offer the things to the ancestors.

Early the next morning, he got up early and went to Jinxiu Tower for breakfast.

After sitting for a while, Su Rong came.

Song Che let him sit down. "I knew that you would never come to my house in person again if it wasn't something important. What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"

"Yes, there is one thing." Su Rong did not intend to hide it, and in a few words he told Song Che about Young Master Li looking for someone. Seeing that Song Che was frowning and looking serious, he stopped talking.

Song Che frowned and tapped his finger on the table: "Princess Mingchang's Mansion also has a close relationship with Cheng Guogong!"

If you are not close friends, how could they be willing to share with you such a big secret concerning the suppression of the rebellion

But now is not the time to discuss these things. Song Che has experienced a lot. He clapped his hands and suddenly shouted, "Just right, this happened just in time! That... Sister Li, her surname is actually Mu, right?"

"Yes." Su Rong had already asked clearly. When he heard Song Che asking, he told her the identity of Li's sister-in-law: "She is said to be the third daughter. Everyone in the Mu Mansion calls her the Third Miss. Everyone knows it."

That's even better.

As the sister of the former and current chieftains, this identity is worthy of attention even if it is brought to the imperial court.

"Let's take advantage of this opportunity and kill two birds with one stone." Song Che made up his mind without hesitation: "Help Miss Mu San with this big favor, and also ask Miss Mu San to do us a favor. It will be mutually beneficial and will not do any harm to her."

Su Rong was not too excited, and his expression remained calm: "The difficulty lies here. The eldest grandson of the emperor was raised in the Song family and was found. Although you made up the story very well in the end, it is still not completely believed until now. The emperor is reluctant to clear the name of the eldest grandson of the emperor, I am afraid it is also because of taboos. If you let Prince Consort Tang use this trick again now, I am afraid it will not work."

The traces are too obvious.

No one is a fool. It is too easy to get into trouble if you keep using the same trick.

"So don't use the same trick." Song Che said without blinking, "It's true that the Tang family has an adopted son, but have you forgotten? The Tang family has more than one adopted son!"

Su Rong was stunned for a moment, then he realized what Song Che meant. Before he could say anything, there was a knock on the door. Song Che asked someone to come in. Steward Song didn't even bother to greet him and reported, "My Lord, my Lord, something happened. My Lord's attendant came to report that something happened to Miss Zheng Su's carriage..."

"What?!" Su Rong stood up suddenly and walked out with a stern look on his face.

Song Che also stood up. He had a very good impression of Su Yao, this little girl. When he heard that Su Yao was in trouble, he suddenly thought of what Su Rong had just said and immediately asked, "Could it be because of this incident?"

Su Rong was also confused and nervous at this time. It was not until he saw Qing Kun that he asked, "What's going on?!"

The court was in an uproar because of the loss of face in front of the diplomatic envoys during the examination. Even a great scholar like Lord Sun was in trouble because of this. Under such a grim situation, the banquet originally prepared by the Su family was naturally ruined.

Su Yao has been at home these days and rarely goes out.

Even today, before Su Rong went out, he only knew that Su Yao was going to the He family.

But Su Yao had to go to Mrs. He's place every few days. He had walked this distance countless times. How could something go wrong

Su Rong was in a bad mood. Qing Kun also knew that he was most worried about his sister, so he couldn't help but become terrified: "Master, I only know that the county lady's carriage was hit by a mad bull and was almost broken apart..."

Song Che's brows were a little more gloomy. Seeing Su Rong running away, he called out to him, "Let Xiangyu go with you to see if there's anything he can do to help."

He paused, and seeing Su Rong's angry face, he said, "He can always help."

Anyway, the Su and Song families are tied together in everyone's eyes, so there is no point in avoiding suspicion or not.

Song Xiangyu himself also cares about Su Yao very much. He doesn't know what others think, but in his opinion, Su Yao is Xiao Heng's favorite in all these years.

This was enough to make him love the whole house.

The incident happened suddenly. Su Rong didn't bother to refuse. He nodded and mounted his horse and galloped away. When he arrived at the scene of the accident, Dongsi Street, he saw that the officials from the Wucheng Bingmasi and Daxing County Yamen had already arrived and were on the road. He saw the broken carriage at a glance, and his pupils couldn't help but dilate for a moment. He barely suppressed his anger, pulled the reins, jumped off the horse, hurriedly pushed aside and walked to the front, where he saw a person lying on the ground. He was startled.

Fortunately, Qingkun stopped him first: "Uncle, this person is not from our family! He is a child!"

Su Rong finally calmed down and took a quick look, and indeed saw that there was a child lying on the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then he couldn't help but get furious.

The child was in this situation because he was implicated. What about Su Yao

Thinking of this, he shouted at Wu Qianhu who had followed him and was looking around: "What on earth is going on?! How could a mad bull crash into a carriage in broad daylight on a busy street in the capital?!"

Captain Wu's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but curse.

There has been something going on every day recently. A few days ago, Sun Wencai had a fight with Xu Yuanbo, and it was a fight between gods and devils. This time, the carriage of the Yongding Earl's Mansion was hit by a mad bull. It was really too miserable for him, the deputy captain in charge of security patrols.

He wiped the sweat off his head and assured righteously: "There are firecrackers tied to the tail of this cow. It is obvious that someone did it on purpose. We have sent people to investigate. Don't worry, I will give your family an explanation."

Su Rong had no intention of listening any further and asked impatiently, "Where is my fourth sister?"

"Oh, the county lady is in the clinic in front..." Captain Wu replied hurriedly, and saw Su Rong running away quickly. He finished the second half of his sentence: "No one asked the county lady to..."
