Chapter 37 The Last Condition
Saving the life of the commander of the Red Dragon Guard is a huge favor.
Hao Mengye had long thought that anyone who knew the title of the commander would want to get some benefits from it.
What's more, the young woman in front of him is in a bad situation.
However, before the commander left Beijing, he issued an order that if he helped her three times, he would be clear of all charges.
Hao Mengye spoke slowly: "Miss Yu, I saved you at the Su family, and I took advantage of the situation and didn't expose you. This is the first time."
"Bring Su Dingqin, Shen Zhiyuan, and that woman here to vent your anger and clear your suspicion. This is the second time."
"My commander said that if I repay you three times, all grudges will be settled. Now, you have one last chance. What do you want me to do for you? Just tell me directly."
Only then did Yu Shengsheng understand what he meant by "this is the first time".
There is only one left.
Yu Shengsheng did not dare to be greedy. It was already a huge surprise to get the unexpected help of the Red Dragon Guard.
She frowned and thought, the most urgent thing was to leave the Su family.
"No rush, Miss Yu, go and treat your wound first," Hao Mengye turned sideways and gave an order to his men. Someone came over with medicine and stepped forward to lead the way for her.
Although there were no women here, there was a lounge, one reserved for her, and Jin Baobao was there to take care of her.
Jin Baobao hissed and asked carefully: "Miss, if it hurts, just scream out, it's okay, I won't laugh at you."
Yu Shengsheng chuckled: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. It doesn't matter. Just apply the medicine. I can bear it."
Jin Baobao's fingers trembled slightly as he sprinkled the powder on her wound. Yu Shengsheng gritted her teeth and closed her eyes tightly.
Hao Mengye stood in the distance, calm and collected, but listened attentively to the movements here.
Not a word was said.
Hao Mengye stroked the hilt of the sword with his fingers: "Is this the medicine given as ordered?"
The subordinate bowed his head and said, "Commander, yes, use the best medicine for wounds."
The medicine is of the best quality, but it is extremely painful to take.
I was able to hold back and not say a word.
Hao Mengye glanced over here and became secretly alert - the more such people they are, the more careful he should be.
"Go meet the man named Shen."
Before they reached the place where Shen Zhiyuan was imprisoned, a subordinate came to report.
"Commander-in-chief, someone from the Shen family has come and wants to see you."
Hao Mengye did not stop: "No."
When they reached the cell door, Shen Zhiyuan and Ru Jian each sat in a corner, huddled together.
The only difference was that Shen Zhiyuan stared at Ru Jian fiercely, while Ru Jian lowered his head and his face could not be seen.
Hearing the footsteps, Shen Zhiyuan turned around and stood up quickly: "Commander-in-chief, I am innocent! I was also harmed by the Su family!"
Hao Mengye sat down on the chair: "Don't be in a hurry, tell me slowly, who hurt you."
…
Ruzhu knelt on the ground, shivering, her back soaked with hot sweat, but she felt cold.
Su Yanshu's eyebrows and eyes seemed to be covered with frost, and he stared at her coldly: "Speak."
Ruzhu touched her forehead to the ground and said, "Second Master, I...I was also instructed by Ru Jian. It was she who gave me the medicine and asked me to put it in Master Shen's tea."
Su Yanshu turned the ring on his finger and asked, "Did you see the dog being killed last time?"
"...Second Master, this servant..."
Su Yanshu smiled very slowly and said, "Come forward."
…
After Yu Shengsheng felt the pain, she felt a lot more relaxed and in a good mood.
This whole ordeal was not in vain. Although it was painful and humiliating, I finally gained something.
She didn't care about her reputation and was planning to destroy it.
Jin Baobao smiled with two dimples: "Miss, I told you, God has eyes, now the Red Dragon Guards can stand up for you, and that prince can't come to the capital."
This is also what makes Yu Shengsheng happiest.
"Miss, what do you plan to ask Commander Hao?"
Jin Baobao thought to himself, how stingy! After saving my life, he only granted three requests, and used two of them at once.
Yu Shengsheng was about to answer when Hao Mengye came to the door and knocked.
"Ms. Yu, have you made up your mind?"
Yu Shengsheng bowed outside the door and said, "I would like to ask the leader to help me leave the Su family."
Hao Mengye's eyes swept across her eyebrows. This woman seemed weak, but she was actually strong and had a stunning face. If he was contaminated by her, it would be a big trouble.
“Miss Yu, helping you leave the Su family is not a request.”
"You know your own situation well. If you want to leave, you are not the only one who will leave. There are also the grandparents and grandchildren of the Wu family. Let's not talk about them. Just talking about you, Kong Dezhao will be late coming to the capital due to injury, but it does not mean he will not come. If you leave, the Red Dragon Guards will have to deal with more than ten subsequent troubles for you."
Yu Shengsheng blushed. She hadn't really thought about it so much, but now after hearing what he said, it was indeed true.
"Let's change it."
Jin Baobao wanted to speak, but was stopped by Hao Mengye's eyes.
Yu Shengsheng bit her lip and thought quickly: "Please, Commander, contact and protect someone for me."
"Who?"
"Qi Mubai."
When Yu Shengsheng said this name, her tone became slightly lighter.
Hao Mengye captured it keenly.
"Ms. Yu, let me remind you that this is your last request. You don't need to use it on yourself, but you want to use it on others? Think twice."
Yu Shengsheng bowed again: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, but I have no other wish except to leave the Su family."
"I know this is not easy, and I don't want to embarrass the commander-in-chief. I will plan it slowly by myself. I just want you to help me contact Qi Mubai and protect him. When he passes the imperial examination in the future, I will meet him and reward him handsomely."
Hao Mengye looked at her for a long while: "Miss Yu, if there is any benefit, you should keep it for yourself first. If you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall, only you will not fall."
Yu Shengsheng was puzzled: "What the commander-in-chief said..."
"It doesn't mean anything special, it's just a piece of advice. Are you sure you want to use the last request on Qi Mubai?" Hao Mengye's eyes deepened. "After this is done, the Red Dragon Guard will have nothing to do with you anymore."
Yu Shengsheng quickly thought about the plan. Prince Kong couldn't come to Beijing for a while, and the marriage was suspended and had not been announced yet. She was safe for the time being. As long as she was patient and waited in the mansion, she would confront the Su family when Qi Mubai came to pick her up.
If the Red Dragon Guards were to rescue Grandma Wu, Hao Mengye would definitely be able to do it, but what about after Grandma Wu leaves the Su Mansion? How to ensure her safety? And Grandma Wu's little grandson is still under the control of the Su family.
This is too dangerous and not a good idea.
It would be better to let Grandma Wu and her grandchildren stay in the Su Mansion for a while and be with her. At least as long as they can endure it, they can save their lives.
Just wait until the results are announced.
Qi Mubai is attracting a lot of attention, and the Su family certainly does not want to be dragged into the limelight. As long as he opens his mouth, the Su family is very likely to compromise, and then take Grandma Wu's grandson back and leave together.
Choosing Qi Mubai is her only best choice.
"I'm sure." She nodded slowly.
"Okay, I agree," Hao Mengye turned sideways, "Miss Yu, you can go back now."
Yu Shengsheng nodded and bowed. Jin Baobao couldn't help but ask, "What about the others?"
"Young General Su has to cooperate with the investigation and will be detained for two more days. As for Shen Zhiyuan and that woman, they have been redeemed by the Shen family."
"As for the result, I believe Miss Yu will know it when she returns home." Hao Mengye ordered, "Come here, prepare the car and send Miss Yu back home."
…
Old Madam Su fainted for a while, and when she woke up she smashed the cup again.
The housekeeper of the Shen Mansion lowered his head and let the broken pieces of the cup brush against his clothes.
"Is the Shen family trying to slap my Su family in the face?"
