Chapter 199 Daddy! Mommy!
"Sui Sui! I found it!" Lou Changqing strode into the room.
Shangguan Sui was originally sitting in a chair, eating cakes leisurely.
When he saw Lou Changqing coming back, his eyes immediately lit up.
[I knew my uncle could do it! ]
At this time, Xiao Ziyuan and Shangguan Xi were also there.
They all heard Shangguan Sui's thoughts and naturally knew what had happened.
Shangguan Xi saw the woman following behind him and couldn't help feeling confused.
"General Lou, who is this lady?"
The woman was in her early thirties and had a pretty face.
He was wearing coarse cloth and had no ornaments on his hair.
She was holding a child in her right hand, who looked to be about three or four years old.
Lou Changqing turned around and said, "This lady is called Liu Niang, and the one next to her is her son."
"They are also related to the price surge in Zhanjiang."
When Liu Niang saw the people in the room dressed in luxurious clothes, she immediately shrank back in fear.
She knelt down tremblingly, "Here, here are my greetings to all the distinguished guests."
"Hurry up, get up, no need to be polite." Shangguan Sui said immediately in a crisp voice.
Liu Niang saw that they all had friendly expressions, which were different from the nobles she had met before.
The uneasiness in my heart gradually faded away, and I slowly stood up from the ground with my child.
Shangguan Sui was extremely curious at this point.
[The original book only mentioned the sudden rise in the water level of Zhanjiang River, but did not tell how Shen Qingpei did it. I really want to know! ]
Lou Changqing couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and immediately started to explain without keeping the secret.
"Zhanjiang's water level has skyrocketed because someone arbitrarily changed the river course upstream."
"The riverbed remains deep, but the water flow suddenly increases, which naturally causes the riverbed to surge."
Shangguan Sui's eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed in surprise: "What? The river course has been changed!"
[Shen Qingpei is so brave! He even thought of this trick! ]
Lou Changqing hummed and explained in detail: "We are now in Lin County, and next to it is Bai County. The Zhanjiang River flows through the two counties, and Bai County is located in the upper reaches."
"Bai County is mountainous and rugged, with little arable land, so there aren't many people there. It's far less lively than Lin County, and even fewer people live in the mountains."
"That person discovered this and secretly sent a group of people into the mountains to divert the Qing River nearby and merge it into the Zhanjiang River, which caused the water level in the Zhanjiang River to surge."
"And Liu Niang originally lived by the Qing River..."
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Liu Niang.
At this moment, Liu Niang's eyes turned red, as if she had mentioned something sad.
She choked up as she said, "We were originally a family of three, living by the Qing River. Our life was not rich, but it was peaceful and happy."
"Suddenly one day, a group of people came to the Qing River and started working day and night, disturbing us and keeping us awake all night long."
"My husband went to them to reason with them, wanting them to keep their voices down, but who would have thought..."
"They actually beat him to death!!!"
When Liu Niang said this, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
Her husband...died right in front of her!
He was beaten to death! His skull was smashed!
[Oh my god! Beaten to death! Sure enough, it was Shen Qingpei's men! Just as cruel and ruthless as him! ]
Shangguan Sui walked up to Liu Niang on his bound feet, took out his handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her.
She comforted him gently, "Don't cry. Don't worry, I will pay for the funeral of your deceased husband."
Shangguan Sui's tone was very firm, "I will take you to the capital and seek justice for you!"
Liu Niang looked at Shangguan Sui's big, flickering eyes.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart, making her inexplicably trust her.
After helping Liu Niang bury her husband, everyone continued to head towards the capital.
Along the way, Shangguan Sui heard about Qi Huan's deeds.
Storytellers in teahouses also told stories about the goddess's predictions, and the people were fascinated by them.
Shangguan Sui also sent people to tell the people about the sudden rise in prices in Zhanjiang.
But unfortunately, no one is willing to believe it.
Shangguan Sui could only sigh helplessly after knowing the result.
[There is no way. Once an idea is deeply rooted in people’s minds, it is often difficult to remove it…]
Xiao Ziyuan lowered his red eyes slightly and asked, "The people now firmly believe that Qi Huan is a goddess. Princess, is there anything you can do?"
Shangguan Sui pursed his lips and said, "Not yet..."
Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Sui paused.
[Hey! Wait! ]
She rolled her eyes, and a plot from the original book popped up in her mind, and her eyes immediately lit up.
[Got it! In the original book, Qi Huan also predicted something in the capital, saying that on a full-moon night, the top floor of the Guanque Tower would catch fire for no reason.]
[This matter must have been Qi Huan's own doing. When the truth of this matter is exposed, Qi Huan's identity as a goddess will be exposed, right?! ]
[When Liu Niang’s matter is taken into consideration, Qi Huan and Shen Qingpei will definitely be finished! ]
Shangguan Sui came up with an idea, and a smile appeared on his face.
His appetite also improved, and he picked up the cakes in the carriage and started eating them.
Xiao Ziyuan couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this.
Soon, within ten days, everyone arrived in the capital.
Shangguan Lin and Chen Fei had been waiting at the city gate early in the morning.
Many ministers wrote letters to the emperor to advise him on this matter, but to be honest, it was unreasonable.
Shangguan Lin was extremely angry.
What does it have to do with these pedantic ministers when he goes to meet his precious daughter!
What a wide range of controls!
Shangguan Lin reviewed the memorials one by one and scolded them all.
The ministers then shut up and dared not say anything more.
Oh, forget it, if Your Majesty wants to go, then go.
After all, it wasn't the first time they knew how much the emperor loved the fifth princess.
When Shangguan Lin saw the carriage driving towards him, his heart began to beat violently.
Oh, his precious daughter has been gone for three months, he really misses him so much!
The Concubine Chen also watched intently, afraid of missing anything.
Her precious Suisui, her precious daughter, is finally coming back...
Since she gave birth to Sui Sui, Sui Sui has never been away from her for such a long time...
I really miss Sui Sui so much...
Soon, the carriage approached slowly.
The car curtain was opened, and a delicate little girl came out.
When they saw that familiar little face, Chen Fei and Shangguan Lin's eyes suddenly turned red.
Shangguan Sui jumped off the carriage and ran towards the two people with small steps.
She had a brilliant smile on her face, like a little sun.
The voice was sweet and crisp, "Daddy! Mommy!"
