I don't want to see anyone from the Su family again.

Glancing sideways at Su Qingli, Qi Jinqian gently tugged at Su Qingli's sleeve, signaling her to stop and not get herself involved.

But Su Qingli was determined to rescue her father Su Huaihai and was willing to confront Fu Xuechen.

"Miss Su, let me reiterate, your father's disappearance was not caused by me. Don't blame me for everything."

Fu Xuechen's expression was as cold as snow, and even a thousand years of frost was no more cold than this.

"Ali, let's go. Since it has nothing to do with the Prime Minister, let's go back home and discuss it." Qi Jinqian kept winking at Su Qingli. It was enough to make Su Qingli misunderstand that it was Fu Xuechen who did it.

There is absolutely no need to kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred of your own, and hand over Su Qingli.

Seeing Fu Xuechen's attitude as firm as a rock, Qi Jinqian blinked his eyes almost to pieces, his face full of worry, fearing that she would do something stupid and harmful to herself.

"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you. I won't give up looking for my father. If you have any news about my father, please send someone to the Qi Mansion to inform me immediately. I will be very grateful."

After a long stalemate, Su Qingli was afraid of implicating Qi Jinqian, so she gave in. After that, she put her hands on the wheelchair and pushed Qi Jinqian straight out of the mansion.

Fu Xuechen's mocking voice echoed throughout the courtyard: "Miss Su, I don't want to know anything about your father, I don't want to see anyone from your Su family, and don't step into the threshold of my Prime Minister's Mansion casually in the future!"

When Su Qingli heard this, the knuckles of her hands, which were gripping the wheelchair pillars tightly, turned white, and she walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a stiff body.

One step deep and one step shallow, her mind was blank, and she had no idea how she got out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Ari, are you listening to what I say?"

Qi Jinqian kept chattering along the way, but the person behind him didn't respond at all. He turned his head and looked back at the dazed Su Qingli, the jealousy and hatred in his eyes fleeting.

"Jin Qian, I didn't hear what you said clearly."

Su Qingli regained consciousness. She didn't hear a word Qi Jinqian said and was just heartbroken.

Qi Jinqian smiled indifferently, "Let's talk in the carriage. Some things are not convenient to discuss here."

Su Qingli agreed with Qi Jinqian's words, "It's better to be cautious. Qi Jin, your worries are not wrong."

"Ali, you'd better not report your father-in-law's affairs to the authorities. The people in the government are also Fu Xuechen's people. There's no way they'll really investigate your father-in-law's affairs. I'm afraid Fu Xuechen won't let you go either, and you'll get into trouble too."

As soon as Qi Jinqian got into the carriage, he advised Su Qingli not to report to the authorities. He was afraid that once the authorities intervened, they would eventually find out about him.

If the family members do not report it to the authorities, the people in the government will never be able to find out that it was him who did it.

"Jin Qian, it doesn't matter if the official doesn't report it. With the power that the Prime Minister has over others, our Su family has no chance of winning."

Su Qingli had nowhere to turn to. Ever since she knew that this matter was related to Fu Xuechen, she had given up the idea of ​​reporting it to the authorities. The government would only protect the Prime Minister, whom they could not afford to offend, and become involved with him.

"I will try to resolve your father-in-law's issue. Fu Xuechen won't admit it, and no one can do anything to him. If you go and argue with him, he'll find a crime to throw you in jail, but that won't bring your father back. Didn't you see his arrogant face today?"

In fact, Qi Jinqian brought Su Qingli there specifically to run into trouble. Fu Xuechen did not arrest Su Huaihai, and they went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to demand an explanation, which would only anger Fu Xuechen and make him speak ill of them.

Su Qingli nodded in agreement. Fu Xuechen wanted to punish them if they disagreed with him. The only person she could rely on was Qi Jinqian.

He followed the advice and returned to the Qi Mansion. He went to his mother's house to visit Mrs. Su every day. She cried every day.

"Mother, don't cry. Jinqian is already thinking of a way for us to rescue father." Su Qingli hugged Mrs. Su and patiently soothed her heart like coaxing a child.

Mrs. Su was filled with regret and burst into tears. She thought that if their mansion had treated Fu Xuechen better, Fu Xuechen would not have taken revenge. "If I had known that my former son-in-law would become the Prime Minister, my master and I should not have treated him like that."

"Mother, Fu Xuechen doesn't distinguish between public and private matters, and he flatters the Prime Minister. Even though our mansion has done many wrong things in the past, we have received retribution. Fu Xuechen should stop."

Su Zhaoming gets angry whenever he talks about Fu Xuechen. He is an official who abuses his power for personal gain and his deeds are no better than his father's crime of corruption.

"My brother is right. The Prime Minister is so ruthless and abuses his power against defenseless civilians. How is his behavior any different from my father's corruption?"

Su Qingli has a sense of resentment in her bones. Fu Xuechen is becoming more and more reckless. After gaining power, he has completely changed into a different person.

"You two must not act on impulse. Your father is still in his hands. You should think carefully before you act. Don't try to fight a rock with an egg." Mrs. Su looked at her two children who were filled with righteous indignation, stopped sobbing, and earnestly advised them with concern not to act rashly.

"Mother, my brother and I know our limits. We only criticized you a few times to show off our verbal skills in front of you. We wouldn't really be so confused about priorities as to act wildly under the Prime Minister's nose."

Su Qingli smiled bitterly and shook her head, holding Madam Su's warm hands tightly, and talked to her for a while longer, saying some heartfelt words.

I set off for Qi's residence at the beginning of the evening hour. The golden wheel of summer sky was setting in the west, and the dazzling sunset light was spreading over the long streets and short alleys of the capital. The hot wind was blowing a few scorched yellow fallen leaves around.

On the way back, Su Qingli was full of thoughts, her footsteps were heavy, and every step she took felt as if her legs were filled with lead, making it difficult for her to walk.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Su Qingli walked through the streets and alleys under the sun, which was not at its strongest.

From the side, Liu Meishuang, wearing a veil, walked out from behind a large tree, blocking Su Qingli's path. She said gloatingly, "Miss Su, you have come to this day. You really deserve it."

Su Qingli heard Liu Meishuang's smug laughter and felt that she and Fu Xuechen had reconciled and were in cahoots with each other. She kept asking, "Where did you imprison my father? Are you planning to become the Prime Minister's concubine?"

"So what if I can stay by Xuechen's side and be his concubine? I may not be as noble as Her Royal Highness the Princess, but I am more than qualified to be compared to a faded flower like you."

Liu Meishuang raised her long eyebrows and spoke confidently in front of Su Qingli.

"I have no intention of competing with you. Not to mention being a concubine, I wouldn't care even if you were the Prime Minister's wife. Miss Liu, if you have nothing else to do, please don't bother me." Su Qingli said coldly.

"Miss Su, please stop being so stubborn and pretentious. Your father is indeed in the hands of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister said he would repay your Su family double, and your father is still hanging on to his last breath."

Liu Meishuang didn't know that Qi Jinqian had sent someone to kill Su Huaihai, she just said what Qi Jinqian taught her.
