Chapter 42 Witness
As soon as Su Yanshu opened his mouth, the old lady looked at him and understood what he was anxious about.
Su Zhiyi pursed her lips and said, "If my sister stays there, her reputation will be ruined... What will she do in the future?"
Madam Su almost burst into tears again: "What about Ding Qin?"
Su Zhiyi asked in a trembling voice: "Commander-in-chief, can you ..."
"No," Hao Mengye interrupted her, "Madam, the young general is involved in the injury of the prince, and it has not been investigated yet. Miss Yu is willing to guarantee her brother because of the deep relationship between cousins. As long as the young general does not return, she will not be able to go out."
"I am only here to tell you something. Goodbye."
He turned and strode away without even waiting for the Su family's response.
Su Zhiyi lowered her eyes to hide the smile in her eyes - Yu Shengsheng, now that you have entered the Zhenqiao Tower, I wonder how you will get married after you come out.
Su Yanshu frowned and thought to himself that it was a bad decision. If he had known this would happen, he should not have let Yu Shengsheng go.
"Grandma, I'm going out for a while."
This matter must be reported to the prince.
Madam Su held him back and said, "Can you go and ask the prince to help? Your elder brother..."
"Mother," Su Yanshu's eyes turned cold, "There are more important things than my brother right now."
Madam Su wanted to say something, but the old lady shouted, "Shut up and let him go."
The prince returned to the East Palace and beat three palace maids to death in a row, and only then did he feel better.
He threw down the whip, fell down on the steps, stepped on the blood flowing down with his boots, and cursed coldly: "Boring."
He begged for mercy when he was beaten, cried when he was beaten, and died after a few beatings.
Yu Shengsheng is still interesting.
I was itching to go to the Su family after nightfall. Su Yanshu came to ask for a meeting.
Su Yanshu bowed his head and saluted, seemingly not noticing the blood on the ground. He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, Shengsheng went to Zhenyu Tower and was detained."
"What?" The prince's eyes sharpened, "Didn't you say you've returned home?"
"Yes, she went back, but because my family... wanted her to plead for my eldest brother, so I asked her to go again."
The prince's face was gloomy. Thinking that Yu Shengsheng might be beaten by the Red Dragon Guards, the evil spirit that had dissipated in his breath gathered again.
Su Yanshu stepped forward and said quickly in a low voice: "Your Highness, if it takes too long and everyone knows about it, it might be detrimental to the marriage."
The prince raised his hand and interrupted him: "Follow me to Zhenqiao Tower."
…
Yu Shengsheng was in the lounge, watching the originally extremely simple room suddenly become filled up.
Bedding, toiletries, tea sets, kettles, and even several kinds of snacks are all available.
There were also several large tables filled with tools and materials needed to restore the paintings.
There was an ice basin and a cooler in the corner, things that she had no right to use when she was at the Su family.
Who would have thought that it would be used in this place that everyone fears.
Jin Baobao came in from outside, holding a fruit basket filled with various fresh fruits.
"Miss," she put the basket on the table, "there are some in the bathroom. Whenever you want to take a bath, tell me in advance and I will negotiate with them to clear it for you."
Yu Shengsheng whispered, "Baobao, you are really brave. You dare to walk around here."
Jin Baobao laughed twice: "Miss, you are a girl in this den of tigers and wolves, I must find out everything."
She changed the subject: "How about it, Miss, can it be fixed?"
"able."
Yu Shengsheng was determined. She stood in front of the table, opened the painting, and began to edit it with a focused look.
Since returning to the Su family, although I haven't suffered as much torture as when I was in the villa, I am always physically and mentally tense and exhausted.
At this moment, devoting myself to retouching the painting, I feel more relaxed than ever before.
She thought that after she left the Su family, she would not have to rely entirely on Qi Mubai to support her. She could do some work like this to support herself and Grandma Wu.
Will definitely not become a burden to Qi Mubai.
A simple, quiet and harmonious life is the meaning of life, and it is also the reason why she is working hard and fighting for it.
Yu Shengsheng was fully focused and Jin Baobao closed the door again, so she could not hear any sound outside.
She didn't know that the prince came to ask for her.
Hao Mengye said politely, "Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince smiled and nodded, "Commander Hao, I came here to ask if there is any progress on the matter of Master Kong. To be honest, I once advised my father to matchmake Su's cousin Yu Shengsheng with Master Kong. I think that Master Kong's attack should have nothing to do with the young general. After all, they are going to be a family soon, so why would they do such a thing?"
"As for Miss Yu, she is a weak woman who lives in the boudoir and has nothing to do with this. The Queen Mother has personally taught her the rules and praised her highly. Please ask Commander Hao to let her go back home."
Hao Mengye listened patiently. He was not surprised that the Su family would ask someone for help. What was surprising was that the prince would come in person.
"Your Highness, you are too serious. The guilty should be punished, and the innocent should be released. Is this just a matter of a humble official's words? There are indeed clues that show that the Su family cannot escape responsibility."
"Besides, Miss Yu was not investigated because of this incident."
The prince frowned slightly: "What else?"
Hao Mengye cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry I can't tell you. This is a serious matter and the case has not been closed yet, so I can't reveal it."
Su Yanshu stood behind the prince and took a deep breath and said, "If Commander Hao is worried, you can confine Shengsheng to the courtyard of the mansion. Even if you send soldiers to surround her, it will be better than now. She is a girl. How can she protect her reputation after she goes out?"
Hao Mengye chuckled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "It turns out that the second young master only cares about his reputation. How come Miss Yu still has a reputation? I thought that when she shot the princess and wanted to take her away in public, she had lost her reputation."
Su Yanshu: “…”
"Your Highness, this is not the place for you to be. I feel uneasy. Please move away. I promise that I will investigate this matter as soon as possible."
The prince was furious. He never expected that a mere Hao Mengye would dare to offend him.
Do you really think you are Fu Qingyin?
At this time, there was a commotion outside the gate. Several horses came galloping and stopped in front of the Zhenqiao Tower. The person in the front was sitting on the horse, tall and mighty, with a long package behind him.
Two Red Dragon Guards stepped forward and said, "Who are you? Why don't you get off your horse?"
The horseman pulled the reins, threw the package behind him to the door, and then dismounted.
Hao Mengye was dealing with the prince when a Red Dragon Guard ran in and whispered to him, "Commander-in-chief, Su Huaishan is back!"
Hao Mengye was stunned: "Who?"
"The second master of the Su family, General Su's younger brother, Su Huaishan, brought a man with him. This man claimed to be a bandit from Shunchang Prefecture and admitted that he led people to injure Master Kong."
Hao Mengye's face darkened slightly. This Su Huaishan didn't come earlier or later, but came at this time.
And they also brought so-called "prisoners".
Kong Dezhao was certainly not injured by some bandits, and he knew very well what had happened.
But now that someone has arrived, what should we do?
Hao Mengye frowned.
