Zhang Tuiguan had been standing at Xu's house for the whole morning. No matter how he urged and how much he said nice things, the doorman of Xu's house was still very difficult to talk to. When he asked urgently, he pointed at him and frowned: "Do you really think our grandmother is a suspect? If you really want to show off your authority, then show us the arrest warrant! Show us the official letter!"
It's just as arrogant as the legend says!
Thinking about the fact that Sun Wencai was injured by Xu Yuanbo, but Sun Ge Lao lost his job, Zhang Tuiguan felt a little indignant, but he showed no expression on his face and turned away.
The concierge couldn't help but sneer behind his back: "After becoming a minor official, he has become so arrogant that he doesn't even know who he is. He thinks we are his own little piece of land. He is really ignorant!"
You come empty-handed, without a post, without an official letter, and without even an envelope. How can this not be tactless
Zhang the Magistrate endured it, sneered, and walked away.
There is more than just Grandma Xu who has the surname Qi. If he is not welcome here, there are other places that will welcome him. He can just go to the Tong family and wait.
In the teahouse next door, Ruan Xiaojiu, holding a cup of tea, watched Zhang Tuiguan return in defeat. He hurriedly paid the bill and walked out. He watched Zhang Tuiguan go east, thought for a while, and then made a detour and returned to the Su family.
Su Yao was talking to Wang Yuerong at home.
Wang Yuerong said in a low voice: "I heard that after the eleventh princess was injured, a scar was left on her forehead. She has refused to see outsiders for a long time. My second aunt said that the imperial concubine was very anxious about this matter..."
The eleventh princess is thirteen years old, at the age when she loves beauty. She has a scar on her forehead, so of course she can't be happy.
She glanced at Su Yao and whispered, "Be careful when you go into the palace. What on earth is going on..."
After all, it was all because of Su Yao. I’m afraid the Eleventh Princess won’t be in a good mood when she sees Su Yao.
Su Yao also knew this truth and nodded to show that he understood.
Wang Yuerong couldn't help but gnashing her teeth again: "I don't know who is behind this. They want you to be unlucky and hurt the eleventh princess. They are so vicious! And they didn't find anything. They just made them happy behind my back for nothing!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Cao came in and said that Ruan Xiaojiu was back.
Su Yao raised his eyebrows, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips: "Who said that they would be happy behind my back for nothing? The real show has begun now."
Wang Yuerong was fiddling with the Buddha's hand on Su Yao's desk. Hearing this, he tilted his head and looked at her in confusion: "What did you say?"
Su Yao smiled but did not answer, and asked Yan Cao to bring Ruan Xiaojiu to the study.
After a while, Ruan Xiaojiu came in and saw Wang Yuerong was there too, so he hurriedly bowed and greeted her.
Su Yao waved his hand and asked him, "How is it going?"
"I did everything according to the young lady's instructions." Ruan Xiaojiu answered hurriedly, and told her what had happened recently. He then said, "Also, as you expected, Zhang Tuiguan first went to Xu Cifu's house, but the servants of the Xu family were too arrogant to let him in. Instead, they ridiculed him, so he turned around and left. I saw him heading in the direction of Tong's house. Plus, it's already noon now, so he might not have time to leave the city and go to Baihe Temple. It seems that he is definitely going to Tong's house."
"Very good." Su Yao was tidying up his bookcase, clapped his hands and turned around: "What about the people I asked you to arrange? Have they all been arranged?"
"It has been arranged." Ruan Xiaojiu answered quickly: "They are all the old people from Shenjia Village. I have kept your instructions in mind and have not revealed my identity. I just told Aunt Shen and the others what you told me..."
Wang Yuerong was completely confused, and had no idea what Su Yao was up to. She pulled Su Yao aside and asked her, "What is he talking about? What Shenjia Village? Yaoyao, what are you doing?"
"I'm avenging myself and the Eleventh Princess!" Su Yao raised the corners of his mouth as a matter of course. He smiled on his face, but his eyes were cold.
Come to think of it, it really is hatred from past and present lives.
In his previous life, Cheng Li couldn't wait to go back to help Cheng Dingan arrange the wedding and happily welcome his stepmother into the family.
The stepmother was none other than Qi Yunxi’s granddaughter, who was already married for the second time at that time.
She was able to marry into a noble family again, which caused a sensation in the entire capital.
She had met that woman.
Before the wedding, Cheng Dingan specially brought her to the Su family to teach her a lesson and told her not to bother the Cheng family anymore. He also hinted to the Su family to send her away.
Thinking about it now, she finally reacted.
After going around in such a circle, these people are closely connected.
Well, it's time to let these people come out little by little, one by one to show their faces.
The room was silent for a moment. Wang Yuerong blinked and felt that what Su Yao said was becoming more profound.
On the other side, Qi Yunxi was discussing matters with Mr. Bai. She was a little irritable and in a bad mood: "Why not? Do we have to let him live to Yunnan?! On the way..."
Mr. Bai frowned and looked at her disapprovingly: "You are too anxious. You have all been too impatient recently. The matter of the eleventh princess in the palace has already attracted a lot of attention. If we take action in the middle of it, wouldn't it be too obvious? What good will it do us if we anger the emperor? By then, it will be difficult to explain to the southeast!"
Qi Yunxi was full of resentment: "This won't work, and that won't work! Are we just going to sit back and watch him thrive?! Don't forget, we haven't accomplished anything in the past two years! When the time comes, we still won't be able to report back!"
The atmosphere between the two was very tense for a moment. Before Mr. Bai could say anything else, there was a knock on the door outside. Uncle Tian asked them to go out anxiously through the door: "Madam, sir, Grandma Xu was stopped outside the door. It was the prosecutor of Daxing County Yamen. He said he had something to ask Grandma Xu..."
Qi Yunxi frowned immediately. She really cared about Qi, so she snorted, pushed the table away, stood up, and walked out the door quickly: "What's going on?"
Qi was so humiliated by being pestered by Zhang the magistrate that she felt uncomfortable when she thought of the secret from the past. She wanted to come and talk to her aunt and seek peace of mind. However, when she arrived at the door of Tong's house, her sedan chair was stopped by the magistrate of Daxing County and several yamen runners.
She had been pampered for many years and was no longer good at dealing with such a situation. She was about to ask someone to send Zhang Tuiguan away, but Zhang Tuiguan shouted in front of so many people, asking her if she was a descendant of the side branch of the Zhennan King Qi family, and whether she had lived in Shenjia Village in the past.
As soon as these two questions were asked, Qi was so frightened that her soul flew out of her body. Her blood froze in her body. She looked at Zhang Tuiguan in disbelief and shuddered uncontrollably.
What you fear will come true. She just thought about what happened that year and it happened to her.
