Although Cui Qi felt that there was nothing further to check, this was an important matter that Princess Mingchang had instructed him to do.
Li Jiamin is the grandson of Princess Mingchang. Destroying him is like stabbing a knife in Princess Mingchang's heart. In addition, this time Su Yao designed to capture Li Jiamin, which caused Princess Mingchang's mansion to suffer heavy losses. If Princess Mingchang had not suffered from a heart disease and such a big thing happened in Yunnan, Emperor Yuanfeng would not have been thinking about it. This matter might not have been resolved so easily.
Princess Mingchang was always domineering. She could bear being wronged once or twice, but how could she bear being repeatedly trampled under the feet of a little girl? She had already made up her mind and had no intention of letting Su Yao go. When Xiao Heng's incident happened, she wrote a letter to Cui Cheng and Cui Qi, asking them to keep an eye on Su Yao.
Therefore, Cui Cheng and Cui Qi discovered that Master Su San went to hire a boat, saying that he was sending Su Yao back to his hometown to visit his relatives.
Princess Mingchang knew it was a lie the moment she heard it. Why did she have to choose this time to see the Shen family? Her brother Su Rong was in trouble.
After a little thought, she guessed Su Yao's purpose.
For her, this decision was not difficult to make. After all, if Su Yao stayed in the capital, she would be more cautious. Su Rong had just died, and Emperor Yuanfeng would definitely be extra tolerant of the Su family. Su Yao was now a favorite of the Eleventh Princess and Concubine Pang. But now Su Yao was asking for trouble and was actually going to Yunnan.
It is normal for a girl to meet bandits on the way if she is so desperate as to go to Yunnan. Besides, it will be difficult to investigate as the emperor is far away.
In addition, Cui Cheng and Cui Qi followed and found out that Cui Daru went to Yunnan with Su Yao, so they became even more concerned about this matter.
If it weren’t for Cui Yuandao, how could the Cui family be in such a miserable state now
Thinking of this, he finally checked all the places carefully to make sure there were no mistakes or omissions. Then he got off the boat and went to a house he had bought a long time ago to meet Cui Cheng and ask Cui Cheng how the situation was over there.
Cui Cheng was also doing well. He was in a good mood and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp: "It's okay. They won't make any moves tonight. By the time they get on the boat tomorrow, the situation will be settled."
The two looked at each other and were both very happy.
Cui Qi couldn't help but snort, gritted his teeth viciously: "When she falls into my hands, I will let her know what it means to live a life worse than death!"
Otherwise, it would be too unfair to him for all the suffering he has endured.
Cui Cheng did not stop him. After drinking the tea, he stood up and stretched. "We'll talk about it later. I'm tired now, so I'll go lie down for a while. You should also rest early. Starting tomorrow, it will be a difficult day."
There was a full moon high in the sky. Cui Qi exhaled from his nostrils, closed the window with a click, and lay down on the bed with his clothes on, closing his eyes. He tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. After an unknown amount of time, he finally closed his eyes in a daze. When he opened his eyes, it was already dawn.
He quickly wiped his face, stood up, pulled open the quilt, jumped out of bed, pushed open the door and called for help.
Cui Cheng happened to come looking for him. Seeing him like this, he frowned and asked him, "What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry so early in the morning?"
Cui Qi shook his head and said in a daze, "It's okay," "How's it going over there?"
"Look how anxious you are!" Cui Cheng was both angry and amused. He sighed and shook his head, "You really haven't seen the world. You look so weird about such a big thing. Don't worry, no news is good news. Let's eat first, and then we'll go take a look after we finish eating."
Hearing him say that, Cui Qi smiled a little embarrassedly, scratched his head and responded. The two were about to go to the flower hall to eat, but they saw the few people they brought running in, and they immediately stopped.
"Master Cui! Something happened. Those people from the Su family suddenly changed their minds and decided not to board our ship! They are now moving things down!" A thin man spoke up first, "Everyone on the ship is confused and doesn't know what to do. We came in to ask you two and let you make a decision!"
What?!
Cui Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Without waiting for Cui Qi to react, he asked coldly, "Did you let the cat out of the bag?"
"No!" A middle-aged boatman was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. "How dare we do that? We have always been following the orders of our superiors. The Su family sent someone over early this morning, saying that they had found another speedboat, so they didn't want our boat anymore. The captain was stunned!"
Sure enough, whenever Su Yao was involved, there would always be accidents.
Cui Cheng cursed his mother and started walking out swearing.
How could Su Yao's style of doing things, what she believed in, be changed? The captain of the ship could not handle it at all, so he had to go over and take a look.
After a brief moment of shock, Cui Qi immediately reacted and followed Cui Cheng.
The two of them rushed all the way to the dock, and sure enough, they saw servants from the Su family constantly carrying things up and down the big ship, and the captain of the ship was following behind a steward of the Su family, smiling.
Seeing that the steward of the Su family did not answer, the captain of the ship could not help but said with a bitter face: "This, this ship has already been booked, and the things have already been moved aboard. Is it because we have done something wrong that makes the distinguished guests dissatisfied? This, there must be an explanation!"
He Jian had a cold face and didn't care about the captain's presence. He just ordered the servants to carry the things carefully. When he was followed off the boat by the captain, he frowned and asked impatiently: "We did book it originally, but now we don't want to book it anymore. Is that not okay? We don't want the deposit anymore. Even if we don't want your boat, you won't lose anything. So what are you dissatisfied with?"
The captain's expression changed, but he immediately smiled again: "That's not what I meant. When we do business, we believe in making money through harmony. Just tell me where we went wrong. Or, if there's any problem with the price, we can continue to discuss it..."
He Jian coldly raised his hand to interrupt him. Seeing that most of the things had been moved, he nodded to the guards of the Su family. He turned around and said to the captain with a serious face: "Captain, it doesn't matter whether your boat is good or not. What matters is that our master thinks it is good. We can't book this boat. You should find another business. The deposit we gave is not small, so it won't be a problem for you."
After saying that, he led his men away. The captain chased them for a long distance but was unable to stop them. He just watched them get on another boat and leave, standing there with a grim look on his face.
Cui Cheng and Cui Qi watched from the side for a while, and only after all the members of the Su family got on board did they bypass him and board the merchant ship, and asked someone to invite the captain to get on board.
