243: There Is Nothing Wrong with a Girl Taking After Her Father
Prince Rong looked at Su Xinyi, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, true or false?
Facing Prince Rong's surprised look, Su Xinyi smiled, "Your Highness can't believe it, right? But it is indeed true, and you have also seen it, and the news has been confirmed and it is true."
Prince Rong looked at Su Xinyi, "It seems that Qiongsi has really let it go, and she can show you kindness and know how to repay your kindness."
Su Xinyi thought the same as Prince Rong before, but it was a bit strange to think about it afterwards. She knew Yan Qiongsi's character. In her previous life, she could have endured and waited for Shang Junyan all the time, and even smiled when she saw her. If she hadn't overheard the words of Princess Pingjing, she wouldn't have known the truth here.
So, can such a person really have an epiphany and put down the butcher knife?
Maybe, but it can't be Yan Qiongsi.
Moreover, the timing was so coincidental that every time she thought about it later, she felt that it was simply impeccable.
What does it mean that Yan Qiongsi can wait for her at Changxing Bridge? She had a certain control over her whereabouts. Now she thought about it, in some cases she listened to her family and did not go out, but stayed at home obediently.
When she attacked Wu Daohong, she changed her clothes and left home. Now she thought about it and felt a little lucky.
She had been calculating the development of the matter back and forth in the past two days, and then she had some doubts about Yan Qiongsi's report. It was so coincidental that she felt a little creepy when she thought about it afterwards.
Now looking at Prince Rong and listening to him say this, she was not surprised at all. In fact, compared with the Shu family, the foreign family, Prince Rong was closer to the Yan family.
Therefore, Yan Qiongsi had accidents one after another, and although Prince Rong was annoyed every time he dealt with the aftermath, he did not let it go.
Now, of course, she would not expect Prince Rong to find out something all of a sudden. She just reminded him first. If what she thought was true in the future, then when Prince Rong recalled it, he would not be angry with her for not reminding him.
Besides, she was just suspicious now without evidence, and she really couldn't say it casually.
Prince Rong didn't take it to heart. He was a little happy that Yan Qiongsi had repented. He looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Do you think the grudge between you two has been resolved?"
Su Xinyi looked at Prince Rong meaningfully, "Of course I have no problem. It depends on whether Princess Runyi's words and deeds are consistent."
Prince Rong didn't hear the deep meaning in Su Xinyi's words. He just thought that she doubted Yan Qiongsi's sincerity, so he said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. I will tell her a few more words later. When she gets engaged and married, she will let Shang Junyan go. What else can happen?"
Prince Rong looked at Su Xinyi and then at Su Qi, "Let's not talk about these. Let me ask you, what do you plan to do next about this matter?"
Su Qi had been confused by what he heard. It turned out that there were so many right and wrong in places he didn't know. He felt very uncomfortable. He was a brother, but he didn't know anything. It was all handled by his sister.
After listening to Prince Rong's words, he rarely looked serious. He looked at the other party and said, "My lord, this matter will naturally be handled impartially."
What?
Handle it impartially?
Then Su Xinyi will have to live in jail?
Is the second young master of the Su family a fool?
The expression of Prince Rong was too obvious, and Su Qi naturally saw it. After a moment of silence, he had to explain, "
Can my eldest brother's injury be just?"
Prince Rong thought about it and said, "That's unlikely."
"That's it, and the same is true for Wu Daohong's matter."
Prince Rong: ...
The people of the Su family are really worthy of being armed and educated. They talk in circles and make people dizzy!
Prince Rong knew the attitude of the Su family. He sighed in his heart. In fact, he felt quite complicated now.
When Su Chun was still alive, he was at the age of being naughty and jumping around. He didn't know anything else, but he knew that the people of Duke Qi were not to be messed with. Su Chun was a scoundrel. If he beat someone up at three o'clock, he would never let you stay until five o'clock.
Compared with that devil, he felt how kind and cute he was.
You said his father could look at Su Chun like a flower, but why did he dislike him everywhere? This difference in treatment is too obvious.
But after Su Chun died in the battle, the Duke of Qi's Mansion was different. The edge was put away all of a sudden, especially the Duke of Qi Su Mi. He felt that the way he acted was like a thousand-year-old tortoise shell on its head, with its four feet shrunk into the shell. He was incompetent at everything and was the first to admit defeat.
But now it seems that the Duke of Qi's Mansion when Su Chun was still alive has returned, and it has become the family that is not afraid of anything.
Prince Rong glanced at Su Xinyi again. Hey, the daughter of Master Su Si seems to be fine.
The daughter follows the father.
Prince Rong stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he looked at Su Qi and said earnestly, "Keep an eye on her. Don't let her go out for a while. My eldest brother said that she is not allowed to go out until Wu Daohong's case is over. If she doesn't take good care of her and something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Su Qi:...
Su Xinyi:...
Su Qi bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will definitely keep an eye on my sixth sister."
If it was Prince Rong's words, I could still give him a discount, but the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be taken seriously.
After Prince Rong left, Su Qi looked at his sister, and then said, "Anyway, my fifth sister is about to get married, and the family is really busy. My sixth sister should not go out recently and help my fifth sister prepare for her wedding."
What else could Su Xinyi say? She forced a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to everyone."
She doesn't want to be regarded as the culprit. Does she like to cause trouble when she has nothing to do?
It's not like things are chasing her, she's just being forced to fight back.
Su Xinyi said goodbye to her second brother and went to her grandmother first to say something back, fearing that her grandmother would still be worried at her old age.
After listening to Su Xinyi's words, Mrs. Tai said after a while: "You have all grown up and have your own ideas. I, an old woman, can't take care of that much anymore."
After listening to her grandmother's words, Su Xinyi couldn't sit still. Just as she was about to speak, she heard her grandmother say again: "When your father was alive, he would go around causing trouble for me like this. I would follow him around all day long. I apologize, but you are better than your master. Although you have caused trouble, you don't need my old face to go out and apologize. "
Su Xinyi:......
Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "Xin Yi, grandma knows that you do things in a measured way, but I still hope that you will think twice about your actions in the future. Not every time you will have good luck. If you do things based on luck, one day your luck will run out."
Like her little son.
Su Xinyi watched her grandmother get up and said seriously: "Grandma, don't worry, I will remember your words."
How could she rely on luck? She has never been a lucky person. Every step she takes is carefully considered.
"It's good that you know. Since you have to stay in the house during this period, you should talk to your fifth sister more. The elders will naturally handle other matters."
"Yes, I listen to you."
Su Xinyi now knew that the person in charge of the trial was Shang Junyan, and suddenly he was not so worried. He had come back just like him, and he knew more about the matters in the court than he did.
Although he didn't know who was secretly targeting the Duke of Qi, he definitely knew who was standing behind Liang Ju, but there was no evidence.
But there is no evidence, and there are ways to do it without evidence. Shang Junyan is not a weakling. This person is full of black sesame seeds when it comes to official matters. The two of them are barely half allies now, and they should not capsize their own ships. .
Since she couldn't lift her own, she could only lift other people's, so she just waited and watched the excitement.
After Su Xinyi left, Mrs. Tai held her forehead and sighed, then smiled softly.
Mother Yu said from the side: "Madam, are you relieved this time?"
The madam spoke slowly, "The old lady is right. Let Xin Yi disturb the family, and sure enough, a new atmosphere has emerged. Now several children are not afraid of hardship when practicing martial arts, because their eldest brother was injured, and the brothers worked together. . Sometimes, misfortunes and blessings depend on it, so let them toss it."
This group of children belongs to this group of children sooner or later.
While they still have a handful of old bones and can still support them, let them toss themselves hard.
No matter what, it won't be worse than now.
After Mrs. Tai said this, she felt happy and said to Mother Yu: "I didn't expect that the boy from the Yin family was quite good this time. He sent the letter as soon as possible without thinking of avoiding suspicion. This time, the marriage between Xixian and him will start from me. Give her something more in her private treasury. The Yin family’s financial resources are too small, so we can’t subsidize it openly, but it’s the same thing for Xixian.”
Mother Yu was happy, "Mr. Yin has become a member of a thousand households, so the family has to save money no matter what."
Otherwise, how dare you marry the girl in their house.
"What's the difference between family wealth and family wealth?" Madam Tai asked Mama Yu to take her private treasury booklet, and she slowly turned the pages in front of the light. "It doesn't count as a wealthy family if there are only a few things to support the house. Besides, the Yin family is indeed not a wealthy family."
Relying on military merit to rise through the ranks, without the blessing of his ancestors or the support of his clan members, even though Yin Ru is a member of a thousand households, in fact, he is the only member of his family, which is too thin.
In case of a storm, such a family is the least able to resist.
Mrs. Tai sighed when she thought of this and said to Mother Yu, "It's a good idea or a bad idea about the Yin family's marriage."
After all, Xixian was wronged.
If Aunt Weng hadn't been making trouble one after another, the family could have slowly chosen Xixian. Thinking of Aunt Weng, Mrs. Mrs. Weng's eyebrows turned cold.
Mother Yu looked at Mrs. Tai's expression and immediately said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if the Yin family has a lower financial background. Look at the young men in our house. From now on, it won't all be the help of the fifth girl. With such a group of brothers here, Yin Qianhu will definitely be kind to the fifth girl."
Mrs. Tai picked up a pen and circled a few things on the booklet. Mother Yu's eyelids jumped as she looked at them, "Mrs. Tai, these are all your dowry back then."
"But they are all dead things. If you keep them, they will be thrown in the warehouse. A hundred years from now, they will not belong to these children. They will be given to them in the morning and in the evening. It is the same." The wife didn't care much, "I give it to you now. Xixian will be more dignified when she marries, and her husband's family will respect her more. She will have a good start in life, and her future will be smooth. "
Mother Yu said with a smile: "If the fifth girl finds out, she will definitely come and kowtow to you."
The madam smiled and said, "With such an aunt on the stall, it's rare that this child is sober. It's good that she is a sensible person and knows the way to go."
Mrs. Tai handed the brochure to Yu’s mother, “Go and do it quietly, don’t make a big fuss.”
"Hey." Mother Yu agreed immediately, "Madam, I will help you to lie down."
The madam nodded and entered the bedroom. After Mother Yu helped the madam to lie down, she went to the warehouse and asked someone to open the warehouse to get the things. After carefully checking the books, she put them aside and waited until dark before sending them to the fifth girl. .
Su Xinyi went back from Mrs. Tai's place and went to sit with her mother for a while.
After listening to Xin Yi's explanation, the fourth lady said, "That's all we can do now. You stay at home for now. Your second, third, and fourth sisters should be back in two days."
Su Xinyi was very happy, "Really?"
The Fourth Madam looked at her daughter's happy look and nodded, "Now that the limelight is on, your aunt will not allow them to come back, otherwise they would have come back long ago."
Su Xinyi nodded hurriedly, "You really can't come back at this time. Auntie did the right thing."
The fourth lady looked at her daughter and liked her more and more. She couldn't help but say, "If your father were still here, he would definitely praise you if he knew you did this. He also has the same temperament. You and him are exactly the same."
Su Xinyi's eyes were sore. She hurriedly lowered her head to collect herself. Then she raised her head and said with a smile: "Daughter, Father Xiao."
The fourth lady said, "That's right." She looked at her daughter with some worry as she said that, "Would it be okay if Prince Shang was in charge of the trial of this matter? I heard that when she was a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, she cleared up old cases. Very capable."
"It doesn't matter, mother, he has no evidence, just like we have no evidence when our eldest brother was injured by Wu Daohong," Su Xinyi said.
The fourth lady said: "That's good. Your eldest brother is also unlucky. Your eldest aunt said that she is going to Daling Temple to burn incense to ward off bad luck. I will accompany her tomorrow."
"That's good. You and your eldest aunt happen to go to Daling Temple to relax. I can't go out recently, so I won't go with you."
The fourth lady was happy, "You should stay at home with your fifth sister."
The eldest lady said it would be faster to burn incense, and a day later she actually went out with the fourth lady. Su Xinyi's life is very regular now. She receives a letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince every few days. Yang Jin sends it quietly every time. Then she practices martial arts with her brothers every morning. Then she goes back to the study to read and spends the afternoon with her. The fifth sister embroiders the dowry.
The wedding dress does not need to be embroidered, and even if it is embroidered with her skills, it will not fit on the body. In fact, what is embroidered is a pair of pillow covers, shoes and socks for the mother-in-law, and handkerchiefs for the sister-in-law, and ready-made Four Treasures of the Study for the brother-in-law. , no need to get started.
She had been embroidering just these few things for almost two months, and before they were finished, Su Xinyi was convinced.
When she went over that afternoon, she saw Su Xixian undressing an embroidered quilt at the window. She went over and saw that the embroidery was broken again.
"Fifth sister, if you embroider and embroider like this, I'm afraid that people are already married and haven't finished the embroidery yet. It's almost done. The Yin family also knows that you are a person who has no fingers in the spring water, so they can really look at you. The embroidery won't work." Su Xinyi persuaded her with a smile.
In fact, in her opinion, Su Xixian had already done a good job in embroidery, but she was too demanding.
Su Xixian put down the embroidery fabric and sighed: "I don't want to either. I just feel that getting married is only once in my life, so I just want to do a better job."
The two sisters sat down to talk. Haitang and Jasmine tidied up the room, brought some refreshments, and went to guard the door.
Su Xixian coughed lightly, looked at Su Xinyi and said in a low voice: "The night before yesterday, my grandmother gave me a few things, which shocked me."
Seeing Su Xixian sneaking around like a thief, Su Xinyi suddenly became happy, "Just keep what grandma gave you. Why are you so sneaky?"
"Bah, who is being sneaky? Didn't Mother Yu send this here after dark? She obviously didn't want others to know." Su Xixian showed a tangled look on her face, "Do you think I should tell my mother?"
Su Xinyi looked at Su Xixian's tangled look, thought about it seriously and said, "Fifth sister, you live not far from Third Aunt. Think about it, does Third Aunt know what is going on here?"
Su Xixian became even more worried, "That's right, so I wonder if I should say this or not?"
"It goes without saying that third aunt must know that grandma sent you something, but since she didn't come to ask, it means third aunt didn't take it to heart. Besides, how could third aunt not know that grandma sent it after dark?"
Su Xixian thought about it and said, "Then I won't tell you. Among the things my grandmother gave me was a kang screen. It was made of red sandalwood and carved with ivory. It scared me so much that I couldn't fall asleep for half the night."
Su Xinyi didn't expect that Su Xixian would tell her something, so she smiled and said, "You are not afraid that I will feel uncomfortable if you tell me this."
"You are going to be the crown princess, and your dowry will definitely be the first among our sisters. How can you still like this from me?" Su Xixian asked her.
Su Xinyi was unable to refute.
Su Xixian was happy, "Even if you are not the Crown Princess, with your temperament you don't care, why can't I tell you? Besides, the fourth aunt's family is rich, and you are just a daughter, I will definitely provide you with everything when the time comes. . Even if you are not the princess, no matter who you marry into, your dowry will be the first among our sisters."
When Su Xinyi thought about it, it was true. In her previous life, her dowry was very rich, and everyone in Pingjing County Prince's Palace was surprised.
Looking at Su Xinyi's appearance, Su Xixian said with a smile: "Xiao Liu, although your life is not good in the first half of your life, you will definitely be fine if you are able to survive in the second half of your life."
Su Xinyi couldn't help but say, "Actually, I had a really good life before."
She grew up in the countryside and suffered a lot, but she never felt that her life was not good. Her biological mother really gave her everything she had.
She never complained.
When Su Xixian heard this, she said, "Don't think that I feel more sorry for you just because you said that."
Su Xinyi's sadness was washed away, and she returned to the main topic, saying: "Grandma gave it to you. I think it might be because the Yin family is too poor, so she gave you a few good things to show off. Third aunt must have thought of this, so she won't bother with you. In fact, I think it is possible that when you get married, Third aunt will give you a little."
In the last life, Third Madam really gave it to her. Su Xinyi didn't understand what Third Madam's mentality was at that time, but now she seems to understand a little.
Su Xixian smiled and said: "Whether mother gives it to me or not, I will respect her in the future. If my mother didn't decide my marriage, I'm afraid I would have to marry back to the Weng family. What's wrong with the Yin family being poor? They have a simple family. I can live a quiet life as the head of the family when I marry there. I'm happy."
Third sister is also a concubine's daughter. Although she married the son of the Dali Temple Minister, even if he was raised by Mrs. Butcher, he is still a concubine's son. She married Yin Ru. Although the Yin family is poor, Yin Ru himself is capable, and she has the support of her natal family. She will definitely live a good life in the future.
There is no such thing as a perfect marriage. You should be satisfied if you can get more than half of it.
Besides, although the sixth sister will be the crown princess in the future, her life may not be as worry-free as mine.
Everyone has their own reasons, so don't be too greedy.
The two chatted and laughed, and simply had dinner at Su Xixian's place. As a result, Su Chu came when they were halfway through.
Su Chu didn't expect Xinyi to be here, so he smiled and said, "This is a coincidence. I don't have to make another trip."
After saying this, he saw Su Chu put a box of snacks on the table and brought another box to Su Xinyi.
Su Xinyi smiled and said, "Thank you, fifth brother, these snacks from Baizhenzhai are not easy to buy."
Su Xixian was also happy, "Fifth brother, please sit down and eat together? I'll ask someone to change a table."
Su Chu really hadn't eaten yet, so he said, "No need to change, you just ate?" Then he asked someone to add bowls and chopsticks.
The three siblings sat together for dinner, and Su Xinyi asked, "Fifth brother, how is Wu Daohong's case going?"
Su Chu said, "The Ministry of Justice has not yet made a final decision. It is said that Lord Shang is investigating Liang Ju, but we don't know what he is investigating. Sixth sister, why would Lord Shang investigate Liang Ju? This is a bit unreasonable."
Su Xinyi said, "Wu Daohong is Liang Ju's subordinate, but Liang Ju's subordinates are not only Wu Daohong, there must be others. What if they want to put a hat on us because of their internal struggle?"
Su Chu: ...
He looked at the sixth sister in surprise. Such serious nonsense actually sounded very reasonable. Who knows if Lord Shang really suspected this.
"If so, it would be interesting. Do you think you can find some evidence against Liang Ju?" Su Chu asked with interest.
Su Xinyi shook her head, "It's hard to say."
It depends on whether Shang Junyan had any news about Liang Ju in his previous life. If he knew something, it would be easy to check. If he didn't, it would be difficult. Maybe it was just a formality.
However, Liang Ju could raise his childhood sweetheart as a concubine, and even have a concubine who was older than his legitimate son. He must not be innocent in other aspects. It all depends on Shang Junyan.
"It's a pity that the concubine's matter can't cause much trouble to Liang Ju." Su Chu said with regret.
Su Xinyi smiled, "Who said that? Don't think it's not important now. When the building is about to collapse, it may be a sharp knife."
