Chapter 231 Song Xiangzhi
Liu tried to explain hesitantly all the way, but her mouth was blocked and she was tied up so that only her feet could walk.
Every time she wanted to explain to the officers and soldiers escorting them, she would be pushed back into the team. During this period, Liu was beaten many times.
The wound on the ear, which had stopped bleeding, now began to bleed again.
"Miss, the eldest lady was beaten badly!" Qing Er said with a smile.
During the day, he heard from the doorman that Liu had taken someone out. It had only been a short time, but she had been tied up like a dumpling.
"Isn't that all her own fault? If she didn't rush forward, those soldiers wouldn't bother to pay attention to her." Su Qingwan chuckled.
The Zhang family was suddenly arrested, and it was the people from the Imperial City Bureau who did it. There was no doubt that this was something that was done by direct order of the Emperor.
She thought that the matter of Prince Rui was over with the Emperor, but she didn't expect that it was just kept secret at the time. She just didn't know what the sentence would be!
Qing Er watched the group of people gradually walk away. He did not mention explaining to the officers and soldiers that Liu was not a member of the Zhang family. He just enjoyed watching the fun.
"Let's go to Siji Yashe."
They were sitting in a teahouse diagonally opposite Siji Yashe at this time, but after waiting for a long time and not seeing the man come out, Su Qingwan didn't want to wait any longer.
Several people walked into Siji Yashe, and Su Qingwan looked around. This place was similar to an inn, but more sophisticated than an inn. It received very few guests, and most of them were literati. Whether they could stay there depended on their literary talent.
My father did find a good place for that woman. I remembered that in the previous life, it was this woman who pestered my father. However, his career was not smooth in his previous life, and he was also busy with many things, so he didn't have much energy to deal with this woman. So at first, I was very relieved about my father.
But all the evidence showed that my father was also a thief. Did he have too easy a life? So he had other ideas for a living?
After Zhenzhu explained her purpose to the shopkeeper, the waiter arranged for someone to take Su Qingwan to find someone.
After a short while, they entered a small courtyard with elegant scenery. There were many flowers planted in the courtyard, which were in full bloom at this time.
As soon as she entered the yard, Su Qingwan saw a woman painting under the eaves.
She had black hair, an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that looked at him with a bit of surprise. The pink little mouth under her nose opened slightly, and then a smile bloomed.
This means he knows who he is! Su Qingwan thought.
The waiter who led the person over smiled at the girl and said, "Miss Xiangzhi, there are guests coming to visit!"
Song Xiangzhi smiled and nodded, "Thank you, little brother."
After the waiter bowed and left, she smiled at Su Qingwan and said:
"You look familiar to me. Could you be Brother Su's daughter Qingwan? Come on, we're family. Come in and have a seat!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qingwan remembered that when this woman met her in her previous life, she didn't know her identity. It seemed that her father had told her a lot about her family in this life.
In the previous life, Song Xiangzhi also appeared beside her father. However, after her father returned to Beijing, his career was not as smooth as it is now. At that time, he was busy dealing with the corruption case in Xide County, and coupled with the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, he probably had no mood to pay attention to her.
But now it’s different. After my father returned to Beijing, the corruption case in Xide County was handled very smoothly. My father went directly to the Ministry of Revenue and became the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The Minister of Revenue is now old, and the emperor's intention in doing this is very obvious, which is to let his father take over the position of Minister of Revenue.
It can be said that my father is now successful in his career, his family is peaceful and he has no worries, so he has the idea of having a beautiful woman to accompany him.
"Brother Su?" Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows and smiled teasingly.
Song Xiangzhi knew that Su Qingwan had come with bad intentions. Sure enough, she started to find fault with the way she addressed her just after they met. But this was a matter between her and Su Zhiru. As a daughter, how could she interfere?
"Yes! Brother Su, I have always called him that. Is there any problem?" Song Xiangzhi said proudly.
Su Qingwan didn't answer, but walked to the table under the eaves and looked down.
On the table was a painting of a tall and handsome man whose features looked very much like his father's.
She looked down and saw a jade pendant with auspicious clouds hanging around the waist of the man in the painting. This man was indeed her father.
"Do you think this painting is good? I'm going to give it to Brother Su. He will definitely like it. He said that as long as it's made by me, he'll like it no matter what it is."
Song Xiangzhi did not stop Su Qingwan from going to see the paintings. She just wanted the Su family to know her existence.
In this way, she can follow Su Zhiru with a legitimate reason, instead of being placed casually by him in Yashe in such an unclear manner. Moreover, she looks very familiar and intentionally or unintentionally publicizes her status in her father's heart?
"You seem to have some talent, but it's not good to use it in the wrong place. I heard that your hometown is in Beitong County. Why don't I arrange for someone to send you back home? I think you have relatives there."
As Su Qingwan spoke, she picked up the brush on the table and tapped it directly on the face of the person in the painting as she finished speaking.
With just a few random scratches, the entire painting was ruined.
"Ah! What are you doing? I worked so hard to draw this, and you destroyed it. What can I give to Brother Su?"
Song Xiangzhi shouted anxiously, and picked up the painting nervously to examine it.
Su Qingwan threw away the brush and chuckled softly.
"I'm doing this to tell you that your things are not suitable to be given to my father, so don't waste your time in the future."
Song Xiangzhi bit her lower lip and looked at the painting with her chest heaving with anger.
She is just Su Zhiru's daughter, but she actually wants to control what happens in her father's room. How shameless!
But before she could say anything, she heard Su Qingwan say:
"Oh, by the way, there is something too ugly to look at that I need to return to you, Qing Er, give it to her."
Qing Er immediately took out a auspicious cloud jade pendant and handed it to Song Xiangzhi.
"Why is it here with you?"
Song Xiangzhi was shocked!
Could it be that Brother Su asked Su Qingwan to come over and say these words? Could it be that he wanted me to leave?
"How could my father have such an ugly thing on him? I found it too much of an eyesore, so I sent it to you."
Su Qingwan's tone was full of disgust, and she even looked at the jade pendant as if she didn't even bother to look at it twice.
Song Xiangzhi is not a fool, she instantly understood what Su Qingwan meant!
Su Qingwan wasn't disliking the jade pendant at all. She was clearly making indirect accusations against herself, saying that she was an ugly thing and not worthy of being with Big Brother Su.
"You are going too far. No matter what, I am your elder. You are disrespecting my elders!" Song Xiangzhi said angrily.
Hearing this, Qing Er was not happy. He turned his neck, making a scary sound, and looked at Song Xiangzhi with an unfriendly tone.
"Why do you respect who is the elder? Are you so shameless that you seduce someone else's husband and pretend to be noble to elevate your status? Are you too poor to buy a bronze mirror? Can't you see how lowly you are? My lady is just telling the truth. Hold on to your ugly jade pendant and get out of here."
Qing Er said this in an annoyed tone, and at the same time loosened his hand holding the jade pendant's lanyard.
Song Xiangzhi had no time to catch the jade pendant. With a crisp "pop" sound, the jade pendant hit the bluestone directly and broke into two pieces.
"Your hands are too clumsy, woman. You can't even catch something. You might as well chop your hands off so you don't always have to think about other people's things." Qing Er said nonchalantly, and his eyes swept across Song Xiangzhi's hand with ill intent.
