There is nothing wrong with this answer.
"Did you buy this material from outsiders?"
Su Chang'an looked at Jiang Xun with a sharp and suspicious gaze.
Zhan Qi smiled and nodded: "Yes, the source is legitimate, but I can't say where it came from. My whole clan relies on this for a living, and no businessman would reveal the secret to making money."
He said it like that, so what could Su Chang'an do about it?
"My family's cloth shop caught fire, and my second brother went on a long trip to get raw materials and has not returned for a long time. Doesn't all of this have anything to do with your Zhan family?"
Su Chang'an stared at Zhan Qi, not missing any expression on his face.
Faced with scrutiny and pressure, Zhan Qi simply sighed and said, "My lord, I am just an ordinary citizen who abides by the law. Even if you gave me a hundred lives, I would not dare to oppose you. Besides, I have never seen or known what Master Su looks like. If you want to pin such a big matter on me, I will risk my lowly life to protest my innocence."
If you have evidence, then produce it. You're just throwing accusations at someone without any evidence. Who can accept that?
"You say it has nothing to do with you, how can you prove it?"
Su Chang'an's eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
Zhan Qi was immediately shocked, and then his face gradually turned red. Just when Su Chang'an thought he had found some leverage, he saw Zhan Qi resolutely walk out. He said resolutely, "If the Marquis wants me to testify, I can only go and beat the drum to appeal for justice. I believe that the Prefect will make a fair judgment on right and wrong."
"you--"
Su Chang'an was instantly speechless with anger.
Jiang Xun stepped forward and pulled Zhan Qi aside, saying, "Young Master Zhan, calm down. The Marquis did not mean to frame you. He was just asking a routine question. As long as you have not done anything wrong, no one can wrong you."
"I will not believe your one-sided story; I will definitely find evidence."
Su Chang'an left after saying those words, without waiting for Jiang Xun.
Zhan Qi sighed and said to Jiang Xun, "I know it's hard for you to believe, but that's the truth."
He and Zhan Yang did not encounter Su Changsheng on their journey.
Luo Laowu was prepared to die; even if Su Changsheng returned, he would definitely not bring anything useful.
Thinking of Luo Laowu, Zhan Qi sighed inwardly. He was a true man. He said he would at least hold off Su Changsheng for ten days, and he did it. He held off Su Changsheng for a month.
Logan will not show his face in public until he learns Mandarin.
The Luo family will have no further connection with the Su family.
Even if Su Chang'an wanted to investigate, he couldn't find anything. It was because Su Changsheng had gone too far.
"I will continue to investigate this matter until it is confirmed that it has nothing to do with the Zhan family."
Jiang Xun looked at Zhan Qi and spoke frankly.
He was also curious whether he could find out anything.
How could a woman like Qin accomplish so much?
Although they are paying attention, there are still many things they don't know.
"The Zhan family are just ordinary people. We will do our best to cooperate with the government in the investigation. However, we also need to make a living. Please forgive us if there are any concerns we may have."
Zhan Qi clasped his hands in a polite gesture towards Jiang Xun, which was neither overly courteous nor impolite.
Jiang Xun nodded and then left.
Zhanqi smiled and continued downstairs to greet the people who were buying fabric.
After a whole day of fussing, there's still no good news.
Back at the mansion, he was very gloomy. Su Jingui and Su Jinbao were starving and cried loudly because they couldn't eat.
Hearing the crying, Su Chang'an felt a splitting headache.
He left in a huff.
Old Mrs. Yang was comforting the child.
"My dear grandson, my darling, don't cry, don't cry..."
Old Mrs. Yang usually cherishes her two grandsons the most, and seeing them crying so heartbreakingly, her eyes also reddened.
The food was all on the table, but no one could take a bite.
Seeing Su Chang'an return, everyone subconsciously hoped to see him.
"Why are you crying? Can't you just stop crying?"
Su Chang'an rubbed his head.
Su Jingui and Su Jinbao were somewhat afraid of Su Chang'an, and for a moment they dared not cry.
Old Madam Yang felt very sorry for them. She looked at Su Chang'an sadly and said, "Chang'an, you have to think of something. This can't go on. Jin Gui and Jin Bao are still young and they will get sick from starvation."
Thinking of the culprit who caused all this, Old Yang was filled with hatred.
But there was nothing she could do; her body couldn't withstand a fall.
Her mouth blisters hadn't fully healed yet, and even though she hated him a thousand times over, she dared not curse him without restraint again.
"Big brother, we're starving! We can't eat today, we can't eat tomorrow or the day after. We're all going crazy..."
Su Changshui also felt wronged, as he had been full and then went hungry again, a feeling that was extremely painful.
It's not like we can't afford to eat at home.
Su Chang'an frowned: "I'll go check on her."
Su Chang'an had no choice but to go to Qin Jin'an's courtyard.
It wasn't dark yet, and Qin Jin'an had just finished eating.
This time, Su Chang'an didn't kick the door, but pushed it open.
He frowned. He smelled the aroma of meat. How could there be the aroma of meat?
"You scumbag dad, what are you doing here again?"
Qin Jin'an rolled his eyes and asked.
Su Chang'an looked at her and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Where did she get the food? She clearly ate, so why can't they eat?
Su Chang'an's mind was in complete chaos, and he felt utterly powerless. He was helpless in the face of all this, and he was also terrified. He had thoroughly offended this despicable person, and that was what frightened him the most.
"I didn't eat at your place."
Qin Jin'an smiled and did not deny it.
"Su Dai, I apologize to you. Can we put the past behind us and make up? You are my eldest daughter, and I will definitely take good care of you. How about I ask for a title for you? How about making you a county princess?"
Su Chang'an looked at Qin Jin'an with an extremely gentle expression.
Qin Jin'an marveled at how quickly he could change his expression; he was very good at playing a mannequin, a skill she hadn't inherited.
Qin Jin'an said with a smile, "Scumbag dad, are you hungry and want to eat?"
Su Chang'an nodded: "Yes, Dad is hungry. Can you let Dad eat? We are family after all."
"Want to eat? It's simple. Just beg me. If you beg me, I'll eat."
Qin Jin'an's smile was wicked, and he looked extremely evil.
Su Chang'an's smile was hard to maintain.
"Okay, we'll all beg you, and Dad will give you whatever you want."
Su Chang'an's previously stiff smile softened again, as if he could shower Qin Jin'an with endless affection.
"Dad, since you're so obedient, why don't you take me home sooner? It'll be better for everyone."
Qin Jin'an looked at Su Chang'an and smiled as she spoke; she really wanted to go home.
"No, you are my daughter, and I cannot agree to this."
Su Chang'an firmly refused. He had gone to great lengths to bring her here, so how could he possibly send her back? He had a strong intuition that as long as she was in his house, he could get everything he wanted.
Su Chang'an walked outside.
