The couple went to Fu Xuechen to question
"Jin Qian, I am my father's biological daughter. I can't hide behind you like a coward. Let's go together!" Su Qingli said bluntly.
Considering that her marriage with Qi Jinqian was a transaction, asking Qi Jinqian to come forward was already causing trouble for him, and it was inappropriate for her to hide behind Qi Jinqian.
Qi Jinqian did not refuse, but nodded in agreement silently.
Su Qingli's good mood that she had briefly relaxed in the mountains disappeared in an instant, and as soon as she returned home from the mountain, troubles came one after another.
"Li'er, you must rescue your father. He is in the hands of the Prime Minister and his life is uncertain. I don't know how much he has suffered."
Mrs. Su burst into tears, tears rolling down her face continuously. She gave many warnings and earnestly requested her daughter and son-in-law to bring Su Huaihai back. She had heard about Fu Xuechen's evil methods.
When it comes to torturing people, no one in the huge capital city can match him, and he has the Ministry of Personnel as his right-hand man.
Su Qingli nodded in agreement with a heavy heart. She folded her hands and placed them on the back of Madam Su's warm hand, soothing her softly, "Mother, please be at ease. Your daughter will definitely bring father back safely."
This matter has nothing to do with Qi Jinqian, it is her responsibility.
After bidding farewell to the tearful Madam Su, Su Qingli and Qi Jinqian returned to the Qi Mansion.
"Sixth aunt, sixth uncle, you don't seem to be having fun?"
Even Qi Caiyao noticed that the two of them were worried, especially Su Qingli, who almost had the word "sorrow" carved on her forehead.
Su Qingli forced a smile and said, "No, Caiyao, go play with Mian'er. Your sixth uncle and I have something important to discuss."
Qi Caiyao was good at observing people's words and expressions, and she never asked too many questions about the adults' affairs. She very sensibly pulled Qi Mian, who was walking towards them, to play somewhere else in the Qi Mansion.
"Ari, let me hand over a visiting card first. It's impossible for Fu Xuechen to kill your father-in-law, so don't worry too much." Qi Jinqian handed the visiting card to Yinhan to deliver.
"That's good. You are officials in the same court, so you can't lose your manners. He has a higher rank than you." Su Qingli agreed with Qi Jinqian's approach. If they rashly went to demand it forcefully, and Fu Xuechen made a fuss out of it and arrested them, it would be a waste of time.
"Ah Li, it's good that you understand my good intentions. It's not that I'm afraid of him, but your father is in his hands. You must put your father first. Besides, your father is old, and his old bones can't withstand too many bumps and bruises."
Qi Jinqian's acting was realistic, and he pretended to respect and love the elderly, thereby highlighting the sharp contrast between him and Fu Xuechen in their attitudes towards the Su family, one in heaven and the other on earth.
Su Qingli believed it and thanked him with emotion: "Jinqian, I am so grateful that you can help me wholeheartedly. I don't know how to repay you for such a great kindness."
"Ali, don't be too happy yet. It's still unknown whether Fu Xuechen is willing to release your father."
Qi Jinqian assumed that Fu Xuechen was in a worse situation because he was sure that Fu Xuechen would not be able to hand over Su Huaihai. After all, it was he who hired someone to murder Su Huaihai and put the blame on others. How could Fu Xuechen hand him over?
Su Qingli was anxious and uneasy. Qi Jinqian's words made sense.
Fu Xuechen resented the Su family. Since they had captured the person, how could she easily release her father?
Fu Xuechen suddenly received a visiting card from Qi Jinqian. Qian Jue also felt that Qi Jinqian might have ulterior motives. "Master Prime Minister, why did the Sixth Young Master Qi come to visit you? Does he know that you are the Young Master Tan who met Miss Su?"
"This man is extremely scheming. He's definitely not just a reckless man who comes to visit me and warn me not to get involved with Miss Su. He must have some ulterior motive for coming here."
Fu Xuechen's eyebrows twitched slightly. Qian Jue's prediction might not be wrong. Qi Jinqian might have really found out that Tan Xi was his fake identity.
Qian Jue was thoughtful. "If he can dig a pit for Miss Su to jump into, he might have dug a big pit for you too. It depends on how you jump into the trap."
"The boy is teachable. He came to my house for no good reason. Let's see what tricks he has in store."
Fu Xuechen waited for Qi Jinqian's visit leisurely, as it was bound to come.
But he never expected that Qi Jinqian would bring Su Qingli to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Su Qingli pushed a wheelchair, one of them was wearing a jade-colored feathered dress, as graceful as a fairy, and the other was wearing a green robe and a golden crown on his head.
"Miss Su, how are you?" Fu Xuechen's expression was as indifferent as usual, and he buried his feelings deeply.
Qi Jinqian didn't like Fu Xuechen's address, and he didn't like the way he looked at Su Qingli. "Ali is now the daughter-in-law of the Qi family. Your Excellency, please call her the Sixth Madam."
"I almost forgot that I divorced Miss Su and she ended up marrying a disabled man."
As soon as Fu Xuechen met me, his words were like poison, and every word he said was full of thorns.
"Master Prime Minister, please be a little more respectful with your words. Jin Qian is, after all, the younger brother of the current Empress. Don't assume that just because you appear to be intact, you are healthy on the inside."
Su Qingli couldn't help but retort. She could barely tolerate the ridicule, but it was difficult for her to keep her mouth shut and watch coldly when Qi Jinqian, who was helping her out of kindness, was ridiculed.
Fu Xuechen sneered, his sharp gaze sweeping down, each word cutting through his throat. "Miss Su, are you trying to say that I'm all show and no substance?"
Su Qingli did not continue the verbal battle. Saving her father was the most important thing. "I dare not!"
"Sir, my husband and I are here to visit you, not to engage in verbal battles with you. Please release my father-in-law."
Qi Jinqian raised the corner of his lips in a sarcastic tone and stated their purpose directly.
"Please go back, I'm sorry I can't see you off. Su Huaihai is useless. Why did I capture him?" Fu Xuechen was puzzled and immediately ordered the two to leave.
Qian Jue was also secretly complaining that the man was not only old and good-for-nothing, but also greedy and a money-loser. He didn't know how much money he had lost because of his gambling addiction.
Qi Jinqian insisted, "Sir Prime Minister, please stop pretending. My father-in-law is not in your hands. Where else can he be?"
Su Qingli and Qi Jinqian are of the same blood. "How could my father not be in your hands? You are the only one who hates our Su family so much that you want to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!"
"You should ask yourselves about this. You couldn't even keep your own father in check, yet you come to my house to accuse me. Aren't you afraid that I'll charge you with slandering an official and send you to jail together?"
Fu Xuechen's eyes darkened, reflecting a fierce gleam, and he gritted his teeth and told the two to leave the house.
"Sir Prime Minister, I'm not afraid of going to jail. As long as I can be used to exchange for my father, what does it matter if I go to jail? Even if Sir Prime Minister uses lynching, I have no fear!"
Su Qingli clenched her fists and vowed to find Fu Xuechen to exchange for her father Su Huaihai.
"Ali, don't talk nonsense!" Qi Jinqian frowned and nervously shouted at Su Qingli's mouth.
