Chapter 306: Fiancé Rescue
Yu Shengsheng’s proposal is reasonable, but how dare Su Zhiyi do it?
She clenched her hands unconsciously, her heart was in turmoil and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Su Dingqin looked at the painting and asked Su Yanshu, "You know painting, and you taught her how to paint. You can tell, right? Is that her painting?"
Su Yanshu's heart was beating fast. He didn't understand why this happened - that was indeed Zhiyi's work.
But...why?
This is not a new painting, but has been around for some time, at least more than two years. But how could she have known the bandit leader who murdered the gang two years ago?
Su Yanshu's throat seemed to be blocked. He couldn't answer and didn't know where to start.
Yu Shengsheng stared at Su Zhiyi: "Su Zhiyi, why don't you tell the truth?"
Su Zhiyi's face was pale, but his mouth was still hard: "What do you want me to say?"
"Well, since you don't want to tell me..."
Before he finished speaking, someone said loudly, "Let me tell you!"
When Yu Shengsheng heard this voice, it felt like she was in another world.
His heart was calm, his eyes were still, and he turned around to look at the person who came.
Qi Mubai stood not far away, looking at Yu Shengsheng.
This scene was just like the beginning, when Yu Shengsheng was full of expectations and only hoped to meet Qi Mubai. She finally met him in Hongyuan Temple, and they faced each other from afar across the sea of people.
But, the mood I had back then is no longer the same.
Yu Shengsheng looked away coldly, and Fu Qingyin's voice became even colder: "Who are you?"
Qi Mubai retracted his gaze and looked at Su Zhiyi: "I am Qi Mubai, the top scholar of this year's exam, and the fiancé of Princess Rongyang."
Fu Qingyin seemed to have just remembered: "So you are the top scholar. I almost forgot. How come you are still in the capital?"
Qi Mubai walked up to Su Zhiyi and said, "Zhiyi is here, where can I go? She is the one the emperor arranged for me to marry."
"Commander, I am not here today to discuss anything else, but to talk about this painting." Qi Mubai took a deep breath, "This painting was drawn by me."
Yu Shengsheng was surprised to hear this.
Fu Qingyin sneered: "No. 1 Scholar, no jokes will be tolerated in front of this envoy. Your title of No. 1 Scholar is useless in front of this envoy."
Qi Mubai's dignity had suffered a severe blow and had long been shattered to the ground, leaving nothing behind.
He smiled softly: "The commander is the most important person in the dynasty. I am certainly not worth mentioning in front of you. However, what I said is not a joke, but the truth."
"I did draw this picture. Zhiyi once wrote to me and told me about her nightmare. I felt deeply... distressed. So I thought of drawing a picture for her, putting the person she feared in it, and then burning it with her."
"I also asked for a Buddhist talisman from Hongyuan Temple," he took it out from the small bag at his side and held it in his hand, "As long as I burn the painting and wear the talisman, this dream can be interpreted."
"I didn't expect this to happen just as I was about to deliver the talisman. Commander, this painting was indeed made by me. I used her painting method to make her happy. If you don't believe me, I can draw a painting for you right now, and you will know it at a glance."
Jin Baobao blinked: "No, this painting is obviously a bit old, it doesn't look new at all."
"After I finished the painting, I used an old-fashioned technique. I wanted her to believe that this was something that could be resolved in the future, and it was not something I did on a whim to deceive her."
Qi Mubai gently pressed Su Zhiyi's shoulder and said, "Zhiyi, I hope you won't blame me. I'll take you to Hongyuan Temple to burn incense in a few days. Everything will be fine."
Su Zhiyi hated his touch and instinctively wanted to shake him off, but when she heard the words "Hongyuan Temple", she had to hold back.
She remembered that Qi Mubai once said that at that time, he would make everyone believe that she was a goddess sent from heaven and the most suitable candidate for the Crown Princess.
Just be patient, it will all pass.
Su Zhiyi comforted herself, looked up at Qi Mubai, her eyes full of affection.
"Mubai, thank you for everything you have done for me."
Qi Mubai smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How can we say thank you between you and me?"
He looked at Fu Qingyin: "Commander, do you want me to try it in public?"
Since he proposed to try it, he must be confident.
How could Yu Shengsheng not know that Qi Mubai was a good painter? He was extremely talented. She had praised him more than once for his beautiful paintings.
When she was at the Queen's Villa, she thought that if she could learn this skill, she would be able to paint with Qi Mubai, and it was this belief that kept her going until the end.
It's ridiculous that this is the result now.
Fu Qingyin was about to speak when Yu Shengsheng said slowly, "Qi Zhuangyuan's painting talent is amazing. There is no need to paint."
Fu Qingyin glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and swallowed the words on his lips.
"In this case," Fu Qingyin said, "the matter between Su Zhiyi and Liu Laosi and his son must be reported to Wang Fuyin. He will inevitably be imprisoned for a few days."
"Someone, take her there."
Although he was still being taken away, this time he was being taken to Jingzhao Prefecture, and the situation was very different.
Su Zhiyi also breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Laosi's matter alone could not do anything to her.
The matter came to a temporary end. The Su brothers were taken to Zhenqiao Tower, and Su Zhiyi was taken to Jingzhao Prefecture. Qi Mubai accompanied them throughout the journey.
Fu Qingyin left the house and got on the carriage. Su Huaishan also rode back to the camp. With so many bad things happening at home, his words didn't count, and he couldn't reverse the situation. He could only go to the military camp to vent his anger.
But somehow, the horse he was used to riding suddenly kicked up a rump, and he was completely unprepared, and fell off the horse. He got a large scrape on his face, his lip was broken, and two of his front teeth were knocked out, leaving him with a cleft lip.
Su Huaiyuan saw him fall and hurried over to help. He glanced at the curtain of Fu Qingyin's carriage - was it an illusion? Why did he feel that the curtain seemed to move just now?
But he had no time to care about that at the moment, so he hurried over to help Su Huaishan and called for a doctor.
Yu Shengsheng was also surprised, but also felt a little happy in her heart. Su Huaishan had never given her any good face and always bullied her. This was a bit of retribution.
There was a layer of gauze on the window of Fu Qingyin's carriage. Through the gauze, he saw Yu Shengsheng's happy face. The depression in his heart caused by Yu Shengsheng speaking for Qi Mubai dissipated a little.
The carriage drove away and Yu Shengsheng also returned home.
Fu Qingyin arrived outside the Zhenqian Tower, but did not return immediately. Instead, he turned around and said, "Lock them up first and let them air out. I will go for a walk."
As he walked, he reached the small house.
Nanny Zhou was making steamed buns with wild vegetables and meat sauce, and the aroma filled the entire yard.
Seeing him coming, Nanny Zhou came out of the kitchen and was so scared that she almost screamed.
He calmed himself and quickly greeted, "Commander."
"What are you doing?" Fu Qingyin asked.
"Wild vegetable meat sauce buns. The young lady likes to eat small buns. I see that she likes this kind of wild vegetable the most. Make some while there are still the last batch of wild vegetables."
When Nanny Zhou mentioned Yu Shengsheng, her tone was always gentle, and she asked unconsciously, "Would the commander like to try it? It's just right to cook it a little more cooked."
After saying this, I felt something was wrong.
"The old slave is guilty."
