This made him very unhappy.
He doesn't like being seen through, especially by a woman.
"I checked, he's just an ordinary person. Why? Were you driven out by her?" Cheng Ding'an curled his lips and smiled, crossing his arms and mocking: "It doesn't look like it. If she can plot against a lone wolf like you, then isn't she even more terrifying?"
Is the Su family so capable? One is real and the other is fake, how can they both be so powerful
Su Xingxuan's white hands pressed on the pages of the book, and her expression suddenly became extremely sinister.
Yes, if it was really as she suspected, then Su Yao was truly terrifying.
What happened to Su Rong happened so quickly that she didn't react at the time. Later, she was kicked out of the Su family without any explanation, so much so that she didn't know what went wrong at the time.
But she only remembered it when the Shen family came to pick her up.
The Shen family, the Shen family has always been in contact with Su Yao.
This time, the Shen family was able to get back the batch of Floating Light Brocade thanks to Su Yao's help.
So, how could it be a coincidence that the Shen family saved Su Rong
But if it's not a coincidence, then...
Su Xingxuan exerted force with her hands, and the pages of the book rolled up suddenly and wrinkled into a ball.
Cheng Dingan's eyes immediately fell on her hands. Noticing her gloomy expression, he asked, "Why? What did you think of?"
"When you received the message I sent, you should have been fully prepared, but Su Rong was not. Do you really believe that Su Rong was rescued by sheer luck?" Su Xingxuan reminded him. Seeing that his face had turned ugly, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Speaking of which, my bad luck started when this real daughter returned to the Su family. What a coincidence that it was her adoptive parents who saved my brother. You say..."
Cheng Dingan understood what she meant and immediately responded: "You mean, she is also involved in this matter? But how did she know your plan?"
Su Xingxuan also wanted to know this.
It doesn't make sense. Su Yao has always been in Taiyuan and grew up in the Shen family. There was nothing outstanding about her in her previous life. She was just a weird person.
But in this life, she seemed to be completely different. She couldn't tell exactly what was different, but she gave people a very different feeling...
"No matter what, send someone to keep an eye on her. I always feel that something is wrong with her." Su Xingxuan smoothed the book and put it in order, then covered it and said lightly, "I don't think I need to say more about what happened in the palace. Madam He has been avoiding the capital for so many years and has never been here. It can be seen how much resentment she has for what happened back then. Tsk tsk..."
The emperor is the emperor. If the mistakes he made in the past were brought up again and blamed, would he be able to keep his face clear
It is the most stupid thing to talk about favors in the royal family.
Mrs. He also died because of this in her previous life.
That’s great. Mrs. He doesn’t have to find another way to die in this life. That’s good enough.
Cheng Ding'an looked at her with even deeper eyes, but in the end he said nothing and turned away.
Wu Shan was waiting for him outside. When he saw him, he hurried over to him and said, "Sir, where are we going? Back home?"
After all, he had just been punished. If he wandered around, it would be too conspicuous.
Cheng Dingan shook his head, got on the carriage and said outside: "Go to Phoenix Tower."
Wu Shan knew it immediately, and asked the driver to go straight to Fenghuang Tower, but he went in the opposite direction.
The Phoenix Tower is located in the east of the city. It has a total of five floors. The buildings on both sides are connected by flying eaves. It got its name because when all the lights in the building are lit at night, it looks like a phoenix from a distance. It is very popular among the nobles in the capital, and those who usually come here are either rich or noble.
Cheng Dingan went straight to the top floor as soon as he entered the building. He stood at the railing and looked down at the East City which had already darkened and then turned on the lights. His expression was a little complicated for a moment.
It was not until he heard a voice behind him that he turned around hastily. When he saw the person coming, he was stunned for a moment before asking, "Where is His Highness?"
"Your Highness is busy." Zhan Changshi, the chief secretary of Prince Zhuang's mansion, lifted the bead curtain and came in. Seeing that the tea was already prepared, he smiled and said, "Don't be so disappointed, Prince Changping. Your Highness is very busy and it is normal for him to be busy. If you have anything, you can tell me."
Zhan Changshi was indeed very important in Prince Zhuang's mansion. Cheng Ding'an frowned and then relaxed his brows, pulled a chair and sat down: "I have sent a letter to His Highness. This matter is of great importance..."
"It is precisely because this matter is of great importance that His Highness must not be involved in this matter. Doesn't the prince understand?" Zhan Changshi smiled, but his tone was unquestionable: "The prince's idea on this matter is not bad. Now the matter has gradually become a big deal... His Highness has already indicated what to do next. The prince will make the decision himself. There is no need to ask him again. He believes in the prince's ability."
Cheng Dingan was furious.
King Zhuang is really good at shirking responsibility.
It was the same thing that happened to the Su family in the paddock last time, and it was the same thing again now. Others fought for him, but he just hid in the back, and in the end he even refused to give a single word of affirmation.
If something goes wrong, he and Zhan Changshi will definitely be blamed.
Zhan Changshi saw Cheng Ding'an's dissatisfaction and laughed, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so angry. A son of a wealthy family should not sit idle. Your Highness is such a noble person, of course it is not appropriate for you to be personally involved in this matter. Since the idea was proposed by the prince, it is naturally more stable for you to operate it. Don't worry, if the matter is done, His Highness will never forget your kindness. Now that the founding nobles have been handed down to the present day, all the dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts and barons add up to less than 20 families, which is almost less than half of the past. Among them, there are even fewer hereditary ones. If this is done, the prince will soar to the sky."
Hearing such an obvious statement, Cheng Dingan could no longer lose his temper. He changed his face and smiled, "Of course I trust your Highness. Once the He family's affairs come out, the Su family will also be hard to stay out of it. At that time, your Highness will save the trouble."
Zhan Changshi's smile deepened. "It's good that the prince knows what's going on. The shrewd fox of the Su family has been investigating deeper and deeper. He has already traced the case back to the Jinyiwei who was in charge of the matter. Your Highness is deeply worried. Unfortunately, something went wrong last time. Not only did it fail to resolve the issue once and for all, but it also caused many more troubles and troubles. It's really a worrying matter. If this matter is accomplished now, it will be a great achievement for the prince. The prince must not let Your Highness down."
There was something else behind Zhan Changshi's words. Every word he said was accusing him of failing to do his job well, which resulted in him failing to kill Su Rong and leaving hidden dangers. Cheng Dingan could hear it and his face turned ugly for a moment.
