Mr. Bai's face turned ugly.
Ever since Qi Yunxi got into trouble, their power in the capital has been reshuffled, and they have put in a lot of effort for this. It was not easy for the Fenyang Palace to come over on its own accord. They had originally planned to cultivate the Cui family to continue to replace the previous Xu family, but this matter has gone wrong again and again.
Mr. Cui Sanye had negotiated the terms with him well before.
He said that he would delay Cui Yuandao and facilitate Xiao Heng's going to Yunnan.
In fact, Mr. Cui Sanye had accomplished both of these things. Mr. Bai was very satisfied with Mr. Cui Sanye's skills for a time, and he had already sent out the letter and made arrangements on the road.
But at this critical juncture, Mr. Cui Sanye himself fell into trouble.
He sneered with a gloomy face: "What can I do? My identity is not something that can be seen in the light..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden huge noise outside. Somehow, the noise became louder and louder.
Mr. Bai's voice suddenly stopped. He could not help but stand up in anger and shouted outside: "Qin Feng!"
Qin Feng immediately responded and came in. Mr. Bai asked him, "What's going on?!"
"A girl named Hua committed suicide." Qin Feng lowered his voice, coughed, and replied nervously: "She jumped from the fourth floor..."
Hearing that it was Hua Niang who caused the trouble, Mr. Bai's gloomy face became even gloomier: "Ask them how they did it! They clearly knew what day it was today!"
Speaking of this, Mr. Bai's face showed a strange expression. Princess Fenyang thought of the things that Mr. Cui San had mentioned before, and couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart - the leaders of the southeastern nobles in the capital have been gathering here frequently recently.
Mr. Cui Sanye once said that this was a major matter that they were deciding. Whether the Cui family could board the big ship for maritime trade next year would depend on these recent days.
Now it seems that we have reached a critical point recently.
Thinking of this, Princess Fenyang waited until Qin Feng received Mr. Bai's order and left, then she said in a deep voice: "Seventh Master, my third brother finally agreed to your conditions. He has done everything you asked him to do. Do you think you can consider him as still useful..."
Doesn’t Yang Canzhi want to accept the favor from Mr. Bai Qi
If Yang Canzhi was the same person as Xu Shun, then he would naturally help Bai Qiye to settle the matter.
At this point, Princess Fenyang was at her wit's end.
Master Bai Qi turned his head and stared deeply at Princess Fenyang.
At the Su's house, Su Yao was listening to what Old Madam Su was saying.
Old Madam Su pursed her lips and sighed, "We had a good marriage originally, but now the man's family has to observe mourning for three years. After three years, won't it be delayed? I don't think this will work. Let's think of another way."
In fact, Su Yao had never thought it was good to talk about marriage too early. Now that she heard that there were twists and turns, she didn't feel sorry. After the banquet, she looked at Su Xingtian and said softly, "Don't worry. If this thing doesn't work out, it means that we are not destined to be together yet."
Su Xingtian smiled and glanced at Su Yao. Ever since the Second Madam's accident, she and Su Yao had become closer and closer, as if she had already regarded Su Yao as a real sister. Now that Su Yao said this to her, she also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Fourth sister, I'm not afraid. You also told me before that I'm still young and I'm not in a hurry."
Su Yao touched her head.
When they returned to the room, Mother Shen came up to her and said, "The young master has delivered a letter!"
Su Yao was stunned at first, but then he remembered that Mother Shen usually addressed Su Rong as "Uncle", and realized that the young master referred to Shen Jiayan. He couldn't help but laugh, hummed, walked to the desk, opened the letter and read it.
Shen Jiayan gained a lot of experience during his study tour. His teachers were very nice to him and his fellow students also got along well with him. He also brought back a few pottery figurines, saying that they were made by craftsmen in Jinling. He drew Su Yao's appearance and asked her if she liked it.
As expected, the pottery figures were lying in the box, untouched. When they were taken out, they did resemble her.
Mother Shen smiled happily: "Young Master has always been close to you. Now that he has grown up, you are not strangers, but closer. This is a good thing."
She was happy to see Su Yao was popular and wished that everyone liked Su Yao.
Su Yao's restlessness was also calmed down by these pottery masters.
She touched them lovingly, put them back into the box with a smile, and told Yancao to keep them safe. She said to Mother Shen, "Mom, have you gone to your godfather and godmother's place? They said they were going back to their hometown. Have you prepared everything?"
She originally thought that her godfather and godmother were going back to Jin, but Mrs. Shen later said that it was Mr. Shen who wanted to return to Anhui.
Wan Hu Hou came from Anhui. Now they received a letter from their hometown in Anhui saying that the clan was publishing a genealogy and asked whether they would return.
In fact, Mr. Shen still missed his hometown. Now he had achieved some success and was living a good life. He also wanted to comfort his ancestors, so he agreed to go back.
Mother Shen nodded: "When you asked me to go over and deliver the snacks, Mrs. Shen said that everything was almost ready, and she was planning to let you stay there for a few days..."
The two families have become closer recently, so Old Madam Su simply let Su Yao formally become her godparent, and Su Yao can now go to the Shen family with good reason.
Su Yao then remembered: "Ah, I almost forgot, then mom, pack my things for me, I will go over and stay for a few days tomorrow."
She was busy like a spinning top that couldn't stop, and there was something to do all day long. She looked so thin that she lost a lot of weight. Mother Shen felt pained and agreed with a sigh. Before she could persuade her, Yan Cao came in again and said that Ruan Xiaojiu was there and asked her to go to the meeting room.
Su Yao raised his eyebrows, went behind the screen to change his clothes, and then went straight to the meeting room.
Ruan Xiaojiu had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Su Yao coming out, she hurriedly bowed to Su Yao. Without Su Yao's urging, she said, "Miss, the Li family has agreed!"
Su Yao put his hand on the armrest of the chair, and curled the corners of his mouth coldly when he heard the words.
"Very good, continue to keep an eye on Prince Fenyang's mansion. After the Li family caused this incident, I'm sure there will be some movement from Princess Fenyang. Don't make any mistakes, this matter is extremely important."
Ruan Xiaojiu has been running around outside these days, and immediately understood what Su Yao meant. She nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, young lady. I've been following you all the time. Princess Fenyang just went to Shuntian Mansion yesterday, but was turned away. Lord Qin avoided meeting her, and it was Lord Ran who came forward to receive the princess, but in the end he didn't let the princess see Third Master Cui. Third Master Cui's affairs are unknown to the outside world, but Shuntian Mansion knows about it. With Wu Qianniang's backtracking and the neighbors testifying, Third Master Cui can't get any benefits, especially now... Once the Li family's affairs come out, Third Master Cui can't escape."
