Chapter 308 Unexpected Visitors
Su Yanshu shook his head repeatedly, not believing what Su Dingqin said.
Su Dingqin laughed briefly: "It's ridiculous that I'm still worried about her. She just treats me as a knife."
Su Yanshu denied: "No, no, Yi won't do that."
"Do you believe that she won't do it, or do you dare not believe that she will?" Su Dingqin asked back.
Su Yanshu took a few quick breaths and said, "I believe she won't."
"Let me ask you, when did she get the Crown Prince's token? Why did the Crown Prince give it to her?"
Su Yanshu was speechless again.
"You don't know, and I don't know either," Su Dingqin said in a sad tone, "Perhaps, we don't know enough about this sister."
Su Yanshu was speechless and could only shake his head.
Su Dingqin was silent for a while, looking at the skylight: "Perhaps, we were wrong a long time ago, when... we wrongly accused Shengsheng in the enclosure."
Su Yanshu stood up suddenly: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Su Dingqin did not change his posture: "What do I mean?"
He lowered his voice: "I regret it."
…
While eating buns, Yu Shengsheng listened to Jin Baobao telling her what happened in the small house.
"The commander went there? And he ate three buns?"
"Yes, Madam Zhou said so. She also said she ate the side dishes you made."
Yu Shengsheng: "..." The commander also likes to eat buns? Or wild vegetable buns?
It feels a bit outrageous anyway.
Green Lake asked with a smile: "Leopard, is there anything interesting going on in the street? Any news about what happened at that house?"
"If Green Lake hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it," Jin Baobao slapped his thigh, "There's no news, but there is one interesting story."
"Some auspicious sign seems to have appeared in the sky above the Crown Prince's Mansion."
Yu Shengsheng paused: "Auspicious sign?"
"Yes," Jin Baobao began to describe it vividly, "It is said that there was a gust of fragrant wind at the beginning, which was a very special kind of Buddhist incense, and then there were many birds, all of which were festive and beautiful birds."
"Oh, by the way, I also heard that someone heard some ordinary chanting sounds."
Green Lake blinked: "Ordinary... the sound of chanting? Sanskrit?"
"Yes, that's the word." Jin Baobao nodded.
Yu Shengsheng suppressed a smile: "And then?"
"Then there was light, colorful light, and many people saw it and said it was a good omen."
Yu Shengsheng put down his chopsticks and thought, isn’t it here?
Ever since the incident with the prince at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and then when the case was solved and he was confined in the prince's mansion, there has been no news for more than ten days.
Su Yanshu often went to inquire about the news, but found nothing and became so anxious that his mouth was covered with bubbles.
She was also waiting to see what move the prince would make. The commander said that on September 9th, the Hongyuan Temple would burn incense and pray for blessings, and the prince would definitely go.
As expected, the commander was truly a man of great foresight.
"I think it's nonsense," Jin Baobao continued, "I heard from storytellers that there are some sects in the martial arts world who like to do mysterious things. They also have a lot of strange things."
Yu Shengsheng was in a good mood. As long as he moved, there would be a flaw. He was afraid that if he didn't move, he would have no idea where to start.
She was so happy that she ate one more bun. As a result, she felt a little bloated and went to the garden to digest the food.
With three young masters missing from the mansion, the atmosphere became depressing. The lotus pond in the garden had long since withered and looked desolate.
Yu Shengsheng felt bad when thinking of those women who died tragically under the flowers.
I don’t know when the person behind the scenes can be caught, as well as Kong Tu. I hope that he can be cleared of suspicion.
Yu Shengsheng was just daydreaming when Xu Boqing came to report: "Miss, there is a doctor outside the door looking for you. Here is his name card."
"Doctor?" Yu Shengsheng was puzzled. After taking the name card and taking a look at it, she felt a little happy and said, "Please come in."
Not long after, Xu Boqing came in with a man, who was tall and thin, with an upright posture, and was carrying a medicine box covered in dust.
I haven't seen him again since I met him in the Imperial Hospital during the investigation of the palace maid Xing'er.
"How come you have time to come here?" Yu Shengsheng invited him into the pavilion.
It's open here and there's no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping.
Yao Mengchen looked around, and Yu Shengsheng said, "It's okay, don't worry, they are all my people."
"Miss Yu, no, Princess..."
"It doesn't matter what you call me, just tell me what you want to say."
"Princess, I heard that you have been to that house and know the cruelty inside. I have been ordered to take care of those unconscious women."
Yu Shengsheng had heard about this incident. Most of the unconscious women had no identity and no one knew their names. Moreover, the situation was strange and no one knew why they fainted. The imperial doctors were unwilling to take over such a matter.
This thankless task would naturally fall on Yao Mengchen.
"Today," he lowered his voice, "a woman woke up."
Yu Shengsheng was pleasantly surprised: "That's great."
It's a good thing that the person has woken up and is out of danger. It's also a good thing that he might be able to provide some clues.
"Did she say anything? Can she communicate normally?"
"She was indeed frightened, but she was still conscious. She said some particularly horrifying things. I..." Yao Mengchen's face turned pale, "She even begged me to save her sister."
"But how can I do that? So I thought about telling the commander, but I couldn't get into the Zhenqiao Tower. Even if I could, I was afraid of being watched. After thinking it over, I had no choice but to come to you first."
Jin Baobao was puzzled: "You were afraid of being watched when you went to Zhenqiao Tower, but you are not afraid when you come here to see our young lady?"
Yao Mengchen blushed and patted the medicine box: "I told others that I came to treat the princess. The princess has been through such a bad time, it is normal for her to be sick, right?"
Yu Shengsheng: “…”
"The princess is kind-hearted and generous, so I'm sure she won't care about these things," Yao Mengchen said sincerely, "I'll talk to the princess about what the woman said."
The Su family members said that she was selfish, vicious and evil, but Yao Mengchen said that she was kind-hearted and generous.
Yu Shengsheng waved her hand: "You don't have to say it yet. I'll take you to see the commander and tell you all at once, so you don't have to say it again."
"Okay, okay," Yao Mengchen agreed in surprise.
Yu Shengsheng asked again: "She asked you to save her sister. Is her sister also in a coma?"
Yao Mengchen shook his head: "No, her sister is not at home. According to her, she must have been taken away to another place."
Yu Shengsheng's heart trembled, and he immediately ordered Xu Boqing to prepare the carriage.
"Go rent one outside, don't use the Su Mansion's."
"yes."
Jin Baobao returned to the courtyard and took the veil. Yu Shengsheng asked Lu Hu to stay in the courtyard. She took Yao Mengchen and went to Zhenqiao Tower to see Fu Qingyin.
In Zhenqi Tower, Fu Qingyin was alone in the room, thinking about what Nanny Zhou had said.
"Miss, you have suffered so much. If Qi Mubai hadn't used such a trick, you would have taken us away long ago. Why would you have been bullied by the Su family and suffered so much?"
Fu Qingyin looked at the small painting Yu Shengsheng drew for him: She had always wanted to leave. Before he returned to Beijing, she wanted to leave the capital and never come back.
She hated the Su family and wanted to leave, even now, but for the sake of revenge and the "deal" with him, she endured the pain and stayed in the Su family.
Fu Qingyin's eyes deepened slightly - perhaps, the Su family's affairs did not require her to be involved. If he let her leave the Su family, he would be able to find out the truth sooner or later.
