Su Qiao didn't expect her to make such a fuss, so she quickly pulled her hand down, with her messy half-dry hair on top, "I'm fine, I just need to rest for a night and I'll be fine."
"That's good." Her father Su Yaohui heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
"Dani, can you tell me what happened in the mountain now?"
Seeing that her daughter was indeed fine, Zhou Lihua felt relieved.
"Yeah, Dani, what's going on? I heard from Xiaohao that the mine collapsed. Is this true?"
How could such a large mine collapse so suddenly
Su Qiao wiped her hair with a cloth and said calmly, "The mine collapsed. As for the rest, you'd better not know. Sometimes the more you know, the greater the danger."
If there were no other things or other people involved, perhaps Su Qiao would talk to them about it.
but…
In the end, if that man hadn't had a conscience, he and the old man might have been silenced by now, so Su Qiao gave up the idea of telling them.
Although Su Yaohui could be considered a scholar and had passed the examination for a student, he was not even a scholar after all, and was a long way from being an official.
As for Zhou Lihua, you can tell at first glance that she is the type of person who can't keep her mouth shut. She was afraid that she might accidentally say something outside and get into trouble, and also bring trouble to herself and her family.
The Su family were just ordinary people, at the lowest level of this dynasty.
Life and death are in the hands of those with power. Sometimes life and death is just a matter of one person's thoughts.
Su Qiao had to be cautious.
Seeing that she was very secretive, Su Yaohui asked tentatively, "Is it about... the adult who suddenly came to Guyin Temple to burn incense and fulfill his vows in the past two days?"
"Guyin Temple?"
Burn incense and fulfill a wish
The image of the dangerous man who, despite being in a disheveled state, remained calm and composed, as if he had everything under control, flashed through Su Qiao's mind.
Did he mean... him
Seeing his daughter's strange expression, Su Yaohui confirmed his guess.
"If it's really about that adult, then Dad won't ask. It's... it's better for us not to know about it."
Zhou Lihua was confused.
"Dad, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?"
Su Yaohui glanced at her with a hint of disdain: "You don't need to understand, you just need to know that even the county magistrate can't afford to offend that gentleman."
Thinking of the words he had accidentally heard among his classmates, his expression became more serious: "No, it should be said that except for the one at the top, no one can afford to offend him."
"What?"
Zhou Lihua was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her lips trembled: "Could the one at the top be the emperor..."
Su Yaohui's face changed, and he quickly scolded: "Shut up! Ignorant and stupid woman, is this the word you should say? Do you want to cause your whole family to lose their heads?"
"From now on, keep a close eye on Dalang and Sanlang. No one is allowed to go out, let alone talk nonsense."
Su Yaohui regretted what he had just said very much.
He shouldn't have mentioned these things to this ignorant woman.
Zhou Lihua shrank a little.
My husband has a very good temper and rarely gets angry.
But if he really got angry, she would still be quite scared.
"But Dalang still has to go to the private school in town."
Su Yaohui frowned slightly, walked back and forth in the room, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take three days off first."
"Ask for leave?"
"Wouldn't that delay his studies? The exam is only two months away..."
Her son wants to be a scholar. If he delays his studies, won’t it ruin his future
