Chapter 126 Fifth Sister, I'm glad you're okay

Yan Kongshan's eyes suddenly turned very cold.

If anyone dares to hurt her little disciple, Qin Niang, he will never let her go!

Even if I have to chase her to the ends of the earth, I will find her back!

Shangguan Sui nodded when he heard this.

He slightly cupped his fist and said, "Thank you, Master!"

Yan Kongshan waved his hand, "You are my only disciple, your business is my business!"

"It's urgent. I will arrest him now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Kongshan turned around with the portrait in his hand, tapped his toes lightly, and flew away in an instant.

Watching his departing back, Shangguan Sui sighed lightly.

She couldn't help but recall Su Lan's strange behavior over the past few days.

[This matter was probably planned by Xu! ]

[After all, in the early part of the original book, Xu had always wanted Su Lanxin to get engaged to the fourth brother in order to preserve their honor. But later on, Su Lanxin was bewitched by Xiao Ziyuan and refused to do so, so the matter was dropped.]

【The current situation of the fourth brother is different from that in the original book, and he does not like Su Lanxin.】

[It is possible that Xu wanted to disfigure me so that Su Linxin and Fourth Brother could have more contact...]

Shangguan Sui's long eyelashes drooped slightly and he pursed his lips tightly.

[Since Xu has come up with such a sinister method to harm me, I will naturally not let her go! ]

Shangguan Sui paused slightly when he thought of this.

[But Xu was Su Ting's first wife and gave birth to two children for Su Ting.]

[If Su Ting goes to ask the Empress Dowager for mercy, maybe this Xu can still save her life! ]

[I need some ironclad evidence that can beat Xu to death! ]

[She will never be able to turn over! She can’t be defeated! 】

At this time, the Ministry of Rites.

Minister of Rites Zhao Shangshu walked up to Su Lijun with a kind smile of an elder on his face.

He reached out and patted Su Lijun on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"Xiao Su, although you have just arrived at the Ministry of Rites, you are steady in your work. I am very optimistic about you."

Su Lijun immediately stood up and saluted, "Thank you for your appreciation, sir."

Minister Zhao stroked his beard with satisfaction and told the purpose of his visit.

"The imperial examination will be held tomorrow. I plan to let you take charge of the reading and transcribing part afterwards."

Su Lijun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, revealing a blank expression, "Me, me?"

Minister Zhao laughed, "Of course it's you. You are very capable. Although you have only been in the Ministry of Rites for a short time, I can see that you are steady and reliable."

After all, Su Lijun is the Queen Mother's nephew, so he naturally needs to be taken care of.

The imperial examination was a big deal, even though the only thing I was responsible for was the least important part of transcribing.

But if you tell others about it, then he is also a person who has participated in the imperial examination.

It can make Su Lijun's resume more impressive, and it will be more convenient for the emperor to promote him in the future.

Hehe, he really knows how to get things done~

If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely reward him!

Minister Zhao was very satisfied with his decision. After talking to Su Lijun for a few more words, he left with his head shaking proudly.

Looking at Minister Zhao's departing back, Su Lijun's face suddenly became gloomy.

It's just a leisurely job, he doesn't even care about it.

If he wanted to be someone, he would rather be a powerful official who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else!

Just wait, he will climb up sooner or later!

Su Lijun looked at the document given to him by Minister Zhao on the table and felt annoyed.

He is a man of great talent, and trivial matters like this are a waste of his time!

At this moment, there was a knock on Su Lijun's door.

Because of Minister Zhao's care for him, even though he was only a small steward now, he was still assigned a separate small room.

Su Lijun didn't think much about it, thinking it was some subordinate, so he casually replied, "Come in."

There was a slight "squeak" sound.

The wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and a handsome young man walked in.

Su Lijun frowned. Who is this person?

He has never seen him.

Li Jingchen saw him and bowed slightly. "Hello, sir. My name is Li Jingchen. I would like to ask you for a favor. After the favor is done, I am willing to pay you 10,000 taels of silver as a gift."

His father was the Minister of Works, and he and Minister Zhao had been friends for many years.

He has been to the Ministry of Rites many times.

Just now at the door, I overheard the conversation between Minister Zhao and Su Lijun, and a plan came to my mind.

Having said that, Li Jingqi immediately took out two gold ingots from his sleeve and placed them on the table.

With a smile on his face, he said, "This is a meeting gift for the adults."

When Su Lijun heard the words "12,000 taels of silver", his eyes lit up instantly.

When he saw the two glittering gold ingots on the table, he felt even more certain.

The Su family was just a well-known family, but they actually had no money at all.

Unlike other wealthy families, he does not have many properties.

Although things are better now than before, they are still far from the luxurious life he dreamed of.

With these ten thousand taels of silver, it is enough for him to squander for a long time!

Su Lijun coughed lightly and said, "We are all sensible people. If you want me to help you with something, just tell me."

Li Jingqi curled his lips in surprise and whispered his plan.

After he finished speaking, he paused and looked up at Su Lijun.

"Sir, what do you think? Can this be done?"

This was the most perfect method he could think of to make Li Huaizhi fail in the imperial examination!

Although this move is risky, the chances of success are great!

By that time he had passed the imperial examination, but Li Huaizhi failed the Sun Yat-sen University entrance examination.

His parents would be extremely disappointed in him.

Su Lijun just thought about it for a moment and immediately agreed.

This is not difficult to do.

Moreover, his father is the Queen Mother's younger brother.

Even if something really happened, the Queen Mother would try her best to save him.

What does he have to be afraid of?

The next day, in the Shangshufang.

Shangguan Sui just stepped into the room.

Then she saw a black figure swooping towards her.

Shangguan Sui was so scared that he immediately took a step back, but it was still too late.

In almost the blink of an eye, she was picked up by Shangguan Hong.

Shangguan Hong hugged Shangguan Sui so tightly that it was hard for him to breathe.

Shangguan Sui stammered, "Fourth... Fourth Brother, what's wrong with you?"

[Why did my fourth brother suddenly become ill? ]

【Who messed with him for no reason? 】

Shangguan Hong held Shangguan Sui tightly in his arms and even lifted him up and shook him.

I was relieved to find that she was indeed intact.

"I'm glad you're okay, Fifth Sister."

Shangguan Sui held his breath and groaned, "Fourth brother, eh, please let go, I can't breathe."

[Ugh… I’m about to suffocate to death…]

"Ah! I'm sorry, Fifth Sister."

Shangguan Hong scratched his head and quickly let go of his hand.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Shangguan Sui in front of him. His rebellious eyebrows were now full of fear, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pale.

"I was not in the palace yesterday. I only found out after I came back that you almost got into trouble. I was so scared!"

When mentioning this matter, Shangguan Hong's tone immediately became very angry.

"I don't know who came up with such a vicious idea! They actually thought of destroying someone's face!"

"If I knew who it was, I would not let her off! Skinning her and cramping her would be the least of her worries!"

Su Lanxin, who had just stepped into the room, immediately turned pale when she heard this.
