Even so, Jun Yuanhou still snorted coldly and spoke with great disdain. "You woman, you actually said that you were wronged. What evidence do you have? If you don't have evidence, don't make such nonsense here and make people annoying."
This was a very rude statement, but Du Suxi smiled indifferently. Not even a little afraid. "The old Marquis has been so angry recently. It must be due to excessive virtual fire. Why don't you try this Yuqian Maojian tea and eat a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup to relieve the anger? I will tell you slowly, little lady."
After Du Suxi said that, with a glance, the maid already knew what was going on, and brought a bowl of warm Tremella lotus seeds to the old Marquis. There were a few red dates on the soft white Tremella, which looked very pleasing to the eye and made people laugh. Great appetite.
The old Marquis snorted coldly and was about to refuse. Wang Qing, who had been sitting there with his eyes closed and concentrating, suddenly opened his eyes. It seemed that he smelled the smell of food. A pair of slender white hands stretched out and gave him a handful of food. He brought the Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup over, as if he didn't notice the old Marquis's ugly face, he took a spoonful and took a bite, looked at Jun Yuanhou very "innocently", and said "not caring" .
“Dad, it’s such a hot summer day, it would be nice to drink something to reduce the heat, don’t you think?”
"Yes, Lord Marquis, you have come all the way. No matter what, I have to entertain you, and you must not break the rules." Du Suxi also smiled.
The two men sang and harmonized, and Jun Yuanhou was completely helpless. Seeing his son being bribed so easily by a bowl of Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup, Jun Yuanhou was angry, but he had nowhere to express his anger. Looking at Wang Qing eating happily, he simply clapped his hands, looked at the maid with angry eyes and shouted.
"Why are you still standing there? Go to the kitchen and bring a bowl quickly? You're so stupid!"
All this changed so suddenly. The scolded maid curled her lips and felt very aggrieved. However, looking at Jun Yuanhou's fierce look and seeing her master silent, she really didn't dare to say anything, so she could only He walked towards the kitchen aggrievedly.
Du Suxi helplessly watched the little maid leave, not understanding that this was an excuse for the old marquis to make excuses? Without the depression in his heart, how could he feel at ease? Thinking of this, Du Suxi shook her head in relief.
Putting on a smiling face, Du Suxi said warmly.
"I have long heard that there is a young master in the Marquis Junyuan's house. He is an amazing and talented young man. He is a rare dragon among men. When I see him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation and is admirable."
She smiled brightly and her eyes were gentle enough, making it impossible for anyone to find any fault with her. Although the old Marquis still had a gloomy face at this time, he was rarely speechless, and the expression on his face softened slightly.
It seemed that Wang Qing was quite popular with him.
Du Suxi had already sent someone to find out Wang Yi's character clearly. Wang Yi didn't have much affection for Wang Ergou. He usually didn't have a good look towards Wang Ergou, but After all, he was the second son of Junyuan Houfu. At this time, he was dead or murdered. As a father, he had to stand up for him no matter what.
Taking a deep breath, Du Suxi knew that she had made the right move. However, seeing Wang Qing's secretly proud look winking at her, Du Suxi couldn't help but frown, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.
Is she shooting herself in the foot
During this period, Wang Qing asked for this and that from time to time. He looked like an old man. He was completely unsatisfied with the elegant feeling of a handsome young man, and showed his rudeness to the fullest.
Du Yuanzheng, who was accompanying him at the side, from the beginning to the end, no matter whether Jun Yuanhou was insulting Du Suxi or exerting pressure, he kept an eye on his nose, his nose on his heart, and his mind on the five internal organs, and he acted as if everything had nothing to do with him. Gao Hang's appearance did not have the majesty that a prime minister should have.
Seeing such a strange and unpredictable situation, the little maids who were waiting on the side were all confused. Are they here to settle accounts, or are they here to gossip? Why do you feel that your master and the eldest son Wang are very close
As the saying goes, people with short hands and weak mouths eat soft mouths. After Wang Qing ate a lot of food, he patted his stomach as if he was full, burped, stood up and stretched, and he didn't look wealthy at all. The nobility that a young master should have. Instead, he felt like a very down-to-earth scoundrel. He patted his belly with satisfaction, then laughed and said to Du Suxi.
"Okay, now you can honestly tell me the truth about my brother's mysterious death."
Finally let’s get down to business. But the face of the old Marquis could no longer be kept calm. He had clearly come to ask for revenge, but his most proud son was actually here and ate so much food. After all, he was eating someone's soft mouth. How to speak? How do you still have the face to speak
With a cold snort, the old Marquis simply turned his head and ignored Du Suxi, but invisibly gave Du Suxi a chance to speak.
After giving Wang Qing a complicated look, Du Suxi secretly sighed in her heart. She was afraid that she owed this favor. This person didn't care about his reputation so much, so maybe it wasn't as simple as imagined.
This was not the time to think about this. Du Suxi straightened her thoughts and looked at the old Marquis. She did not say anything about what she had discovered these days. Instead, she started with a chatty tone and talked for a long time, nothing more. All the words of condolences made the old Marquis look miserable when he heard them, but Du Suxi changed the subject, coughed softly, and continued to speak.
"Next, Mr. Marquis, may I ask you a question?" She said so respectfully, yet so mysteriously. The old Mr. Marquis moved his mouth. According to his fiery temper, he should not be so easily I gave up, but I felt a little unreasonable in my heart, so I snorted coldly, but did not express my refusal.
But even so, it was enough for Du Suxi. Standing up, Du Suxi stepped forward and asked very respectfully. "If the murderer has a special identity and is a rich and powerful person, what should the Marquis do?"
Jun Yuanhou was startled, he didn't expect Du Suxi to ask this question, but he was arrogant all his life and had no reason to avoid it. He snorted coldly, and the old Marquis said disdainfully.
"Do you think that you will be safe now that you have the protection of a big tree like His Highness Third Highness? I tell you, when the truth comes out, you will definitely kneel in front of my son's grave to apologize!"
"..." Du Suxi pursed her lips and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Looking at Jun Yuanhou, she couldn't even laugh or cry. This, this, this old Marquis seems to have decided that he is the murderer.
How can I get any evidence? In the entire Moshang Xiangfang, all the people who can prove it are her people. How can anyone believe it? After sighing, Du Suxi was not angry at all, she just looked at the old Marquis and said helplessly.
"The words of the Marquis are too arbitrary. Today we are having a private meeting. Hasn't the Emperor handed over this case to His Highness the Seventh Prince? Until there is not enough evidence to prove who the murderer is, the Marquis should remain calm." Well, the young lady also expressed her sadness over the death of the second young master."
She said so, but where did she think so in her heart
That gangster is dead when he dies. For her, she doesn't feel anything at all. It's just that she can't say it on the surface, so she still has to pretend to be sad, just for the sake of it.
This gentle approach made the old Marquis feel very comfortable. He took a look at Du Suxi. Although the old Marquis was still angry, his mood was much better. At least, he was not so worried. Looking at Du Suxi, Su Xi also felt that it was much more pleasing to the eye, which made him feel a lot more comfortable in his heart.
When you feel better, things will be easier to handle. Those high-ranking officials, let me ask you, no matter who they are, who doesn't like to hear some flattering words from women? Although they knew in their hearts that this was just coaxing, it still didn't stop them from feeling happy. This was a common problem among all officials.
Du Suxi cleverly arranged some singing and dancing performances. With Wang Qing secretly helping him, the old Marquis gradually let down his guard and smiled slowly on his face. When Du Suxi saw this, he quietly got up. , whispered to Zhong Lingxi, and Zhong Lingxi nodded and agreed.
The two people changed places quietly, and the old Marquis was accompanied by a beautiful woman. When he was in a good mood, how could he care about Du Suxi's movements
Zhong Lingxi's time in Moshang Xiangfang was not short, and she had witnessed some big scenes. Even if she found out that Du Suxi had left, she would naturally be able to calm down the old Marquis's anger.
After changing into simple clothes, Du Suxi was about to leave Moshang Xiangfang when she heard a crisp sound. Du Suxi raised her head and looked at Wang Qing, who was sitting on the railing with a joking look on his face. , frowned.
"Are you a monkey?"
In one sentence, Wang Qing almost fell off your railing.
When he was about to stand, Wang Qing jumped off the railing, blocked Du Suxi's path, and spoke like a rogue. "where are you going?"
"Catch the thief." Du Suxi answered concisely and clearly, but her eyes were a bit defensive. Although she knew that Wang Qing would not harm her, Du Suxi still wanted to deal with this guy who never played his cards according to common sense. Still a bit wary.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, catch a thief? Are you going to meet that brat He Lian Kuang? Tsk tsk tsk, that brat He Lian Kuang is indeed a guy who values sex over friends. He made me take such a big risk yesterday, and today he I was asked to do such hard work all for the same woman. We should settle this account carefully!"
Wang Qing looked at Du Suxi very ambiguously, and hinted at Du Suxi as if he was a good brother.
Du Suxi was a little dumbfounded, but she also understood that Wang Qing's contribution to successfully inviting the old Marquis and delaying him here was indispensable.
Moreover, I still need Wang Qing's help here.
"Wang Qing, I have another favor that I would like you to help me with, and only you can help me with this matter."
Du Suxi said slowly.
The answer given by Wang Qing was very decisive. "What a benefit!"
