Su Jingya was stunned and said quickly: "You must have seen it wrong. I didn't even go out that day. How could I have met a stranger like the King of Jin?"
Su Qiao's eyes were somewhat meaningful:
"You can't be mistaken. You and I look alike. My maid Bi Qiu also saw it at the time."
"King Jin?"
Lord Su's eyes lit up, and he looked at his daughter excitedly: "Ya'er, do you know Prince Jin?"
Su Qiao interrupted them, "Whether or not my second sister knows the King of Jin is not important. What's important is..."
"When I passed by your tea room, I faintly heard Prince Jin mention to you that the exam papers had been leaked and the Emperor suspected someone of cheating and was going to conduct a thorough investigation."
"What?" Lord Su was stunned by the news.
Su Jingya's expression froze and she felt annoyed.
How could she be so careless
It happened to be seen and heard by Su Qiao and his servant.
wrong!
When did Su Qiao become so smart and so patient
She knew it the night before, but she kept it to herself. This is not like her character.
Su Jingya was startled and looked up at Su Qiao carefully, only to find that her whole temperament had changed drastically.
Su Qiao used to be very quiet, with a hint of melancholy between her eyebrows and a very innocent look in her eyes.
And now, although Su Qiao still looks quiet, there is calmness and confidence between his brows.
Those eyes were still as clear as ever, yet they were faintly intelligent and had a thorough understanding of everything.
Su Jingya's head buzzed.
This is not Su Qiao!
Just like myself, a new person has emerged in my heart.
Seeing her dazed look, Su Qiao roughly knew what she was thinking.
He curled his lips slightly and continued slowly:
"So, Dad, think about it. If I write down the answers you gave me, then our mansion will be in utter disaster."
"One more thing. Given the current emperor's vindictive nature and methods, do you think he will be relieved if you are dismissed from office?"
"Although our mansion has long since declined after Grandfather passed away, after so many years of operation, we still have some family assets and connections."
Su Qiao lightly brushed his wide sleeves, flicked the hem of his robe, sat down at the table, and then continued: "If I were in your place, I would definitely not show mercy to such troubles."
In the royal family, killing all the enemies to prevent future troubles is the most normal thing.
Su Qiao was not worried at all whether the Marquis' Mansion would be raided.
She just had to ensure that the emperor would not confiscate her property and exterminate her family in a short period of time.
Once she has cultivated her inner strength well, taken revenge, and found her husband, she can run away.
Who cares whether his mansion is destroyed or not
"You... you mean the emperor... the emperor..."
Lord Su was so frightened that his face turned pale and he could hardly stand, collapsing in his chair.
Su Qiao glanced at him with some disdain.
He is stupid, has no ability or means, yet he dares to follow others and take sides, trying to gain the credit of following the dragon.
It would be strange if such a marquisate did not collapse.
"He just lacks an excuse. Our mansion is now standing on the edge of a cliff, and all we need is a slightly stronger gust of wind."
"So... what should we do now?"
Lord Su was now at a loss, and he stared at his son with some hope.
However, Su Qiao did not do as he wished, but looked at Su Jingya who was silent at the side:
"Second sister, although you are talented in writing and your poetry, calligraphy and painting are all very good, your vision is still a little short-sighted."
"If there is no Marquis' Mansion, even if you really enter the Jin Wang Mansion, you may not even be able to get a concubine, and without your natal family's support, you will be unable to move forward there."
Do you think you are the protagonist because you have traveled through time? Do you think you are different from others
Reality will help me slap you hard in the face.
