Mrs. He felt even more puzzled, but when she saw Su Yao's eyes sparkling like a cunning cat, she couldn't help but relax.
She watched this child walk on thin ice and compromise.
Having gotten used to her mature look, I cherish even more the innocence and cunning that she occasionally reveals.
She scratched Su Yao's straight nose, smiled and scolded: "I don't know what you are up to."
Su Yao leaned in Mrs. He's arms and rubbed her waist. He had never had the chance to act like this with anyone in the past, and he never had any illusions. But who would have thought that he would be going backwards in life.
She felt lucky in her heart. All her hard work and fatigue were meaningful in front of this moment of tenderness. A soft call came from outside. It was Ruan Xiaojiu who replied softly outside: "Madam, girl, someone came out from inside."
Mrs. He opened the curtain and saw a carriage coming out leisurely and heading northeast.
She seemed to be thinking about something, so she touched Su Yao's head and asked her, "Is this what you are talking about? Who came out?"
"He is an important figure." Su Yao chuckled and said sarcastically, "The Sixth Master of the Fourth Branch of the Cui Family, the youngest son of Cui Yuandao. I said there is a way to prevent Cui Yuandao from entering the cabinet. The key lies in this Sixth Master Cui."
Su Yao might not know much about others, but he knew the affairs of Cui Liuye and Cui Yuandao in great detail. In his previous life, Cui Liuye was the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, but a scandal occurred later, which ruined the reputation of Cui Yuandao, who had been noble all his life. Cui Yuandao even expelled his son from the house.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, clan is the foundation of a person's life. Generally speaking, one will not be expelled from the clan unless he or she has committed murder or arson. This shows how horrific what Mr. Cui Liu did was.
Mrs. He was a little suspicious. After thinking for a moment, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Yao: "Then shall we follow them?"
"No need to go with me. I've asked my elder brother to inform Mr. Gao." Su Yao held Mrs. He's arm and said softly, "We are going to visit Mr. Cui."
Mrs. He was confused by Su Yao.
Su Yao was clearly here to find fault with the Cui family. In fact, Su Yao had really notified Gao Ping to find fault with Cui Liuye. However, they were already on opposite sides. What was the point of meeting Cui Yuandao at this time? Demonstration
However, despite her doubts, Mrs. He always agreed with Su Yao's decisions. When she heard Su Yao asking Ruan Xiaojiu to knock on Cui's door, she only hesitated slightly.
Ruan Xiaojiu had already trained himself with Su Yao and could be considered as a smooth talker. He went forward to negotiate with the Cui family for a while and handed over Su Yao's letter. Not long after, an old man in his sixties or seventies came out of the yard. He glanced at Ruan Xiaojiu calmly and said in a hoarse voice, "Our master invites you all in."
Ruan Xiaojiu turned around and led the carriage through the side door into the Cui family's garden. There was no decoration around the carriage, and there were no emblems or anything like that. From the outside, it was impossible to tell where it came from. The old man's eyes fell on the carriage for a moment, and he was even more surprised, but he didn't say anything. He just led the carriage into the garden, and then he lowered his eyebrows and asked Ruan Xiaojiu to ask everyone to get off the carriage: "Our master has been waiting for a long time."
Mrs. He and Su Yao looked at each other. Su Yao lifted the curtain and got out of the car first, then turned around to support Mrs. He.
The old man's eyes fell on them. When he found that they were two women, he felt even more surprised. But he still said nothing. He just made a gesture of invitation and led Su Yao and Mrs. He into the bamboo forest. After walking for a while, he stopped and said, "Our master is inside. Please come in."
Ruan Xiaojiu knew that he could not follow anymore, and looked at Su Yao with some concern. When he saw Su Yao gently shaking his head at him, he stood still and did not move.
With the help of the lanterns on the surrounding trees, Mrs. He saw a person sitting in a two-story hexagonal pavilion in front of her. She knew that this was Cui Daru, and she pulled Su Yao up the stairs to the pavilion.
Cui Daru had already turned around. Although he was old, he was energetic and sharp-eyed. He glanced at Su Yao and Mrs. He and raised his eyebrows: "Who wrote this letter?"
"It's me." Su Yao took a few steps forward from behind Mrs. He and admitted frankly.
Cui Yuandao suddenly felt that this was a bit absurd. He shook the paper in his hand and stared at Su Yao, as if he wanted to find out something from her: "You? Do you know what this means?"
Cui Yuandao suddenly became angry and looked somewhat terrifying. After all, he was a former high-ranking official in the imperial court. Even though he had not been in officialdom for a long time, the pressure he had accumulated over the years was still astonishing.
Su Yao held Mrs. He's hand, looked at Cui Yuandao calmly, and then smiled softly: "I have always felt that only people who have done something wrong will feel guilty and afraid, and I feel the same way now. I came to remind Cui Daru. Since what I said is the truth, there is naturally nothing to worry about, right, Cui Daru?"
Cui Yuandao held the letter in his hand tightly together, and it had already deformed. He stared at Su Yao coldly for a long time. Seeing that this girl was calm and composed from beginning to end, he finally couldn't help but asked half-doubtfully: "How can I believe you?"
"Seeing is believing. Mr. Cui, you can ask someone to find out where the Sixth Master of your house is now." Su Yao said calmly, "Mr. Cui, you'd better believe me. Otherwise, I'm afraid that from now on, your reputation will be ruined in one day."
This little girl is so arrogant and confident that it makes people's teeth itch, but she speaks so decisively, and there is this letter in her hand...
After hesitating for a while, Cui Yuandao turned around and went out. Soon the old man also went out. After a while, the old man tiptoed into the pavilion and whispered a few words to Cui Yuandao.
Cui Yuandao immediately stood up, glanced at Su Yao, pursed his lips and asked her: "Who are you, and why are you here to deliver this letter?"
"No reason." Su Yao knew that he had believed it, so he stood up and looked at Cui Yuandao and sighed, "No matter what it is, it is not easy to accumulate it, but it is too easy to break it. Cui Daru, making a statue of a god is not a bad thing at ordinary times, but once the statue has a stain, then the statue will be pulled down from the altar and become worthless from then on. You are a great scholar with great wisdom, and you must know this principle better than me. Everything written in this letter is true, and the address is also true. If you rush there now, you must still have time, so we will not bother you anymore."
Cui Yuandao had a complicated look at such a young girl who could actually say such words. (To be continued)
