That night, after analyzing the situation with Shen Ruhui, Su Juan finally understood what Song Qianfan was planning.

It turns out that he had no intention of choosing a noble lady, but instead set his sights on me. How presumptuous!

[Unlucky, so unlucky.]

"Miss, why don't you try to maneuver a little and find out what his next plan is," Shen Ruhui suggested.

Next time I take action, I will not let him escape.

Su Juan waved her hand and said, "It is useless to seek the skin of a tiger."

For someone like Song Qianfan, if he gets involved and fails to get his way, he will end up like those court officials who were killed before, so he cannot get involved.

Shen Ruhui thought thoughtfully, "The girl knows him very well."

"It's okay." Su Juan felt sad. All the knowledge she had gained was accumulated from the past.

She didn't want to understand at all.

At this time, Xie Xun, who was standing aside, had drunk a lot of wine at the banquet and did not get enough rest last night. His eyelids were heavy at the moment, but his ears were still stubbornly perked up to listen.

Shen Ruhui advised, "If you want to gain a firm foothold in the court, you still have to do some great things. Xuzhou has been hit by a flood recently, so why not ask to go with us?"

Only when you are strong enough can you attract more people to join you.

Whenever there is a major disaster or chaos, many officials take advantage of the opportunity to rise to power.

He remembered what Liu Xuan had said to him a while ago, that he should help Su Juan make more friends with loyal officials in the court. Even if he could not win them over, he could not oppose them.

Although he couldn't figure out why, Liu Xuan was always calm and wouldn't say anything useless.

In fact, Shen Ruhui has also discovered during this period that Su Juan does have the ability, but he just needs an opportunity. The flood in Xuzhou this time is an opportunity.

Su Juan said in a deep voice, "I had thought about it originally, but His Majesty has already sent Minister Jiang to go, and he also brought two colleagues from the Ministry of Revenue."

One of them is Miao Qing. If I ask to go there myself at this time, it will inevitably give people the impression that I am eager for quick success.

"If I ask to go again, someone in the court will inevitably take the opportunity to cause trouble."

There had been trouble in the Ministry of Revenue before. Although the situation had improved after Mo Youqian took charge of the Ministry of Revenue, King Han's people were still keeping a close eye on the Ministry of Revenue. There were already enough people who had gone to the Ministry of Revenue this time. If a few more people went, it would attract too much attention.

Mo Youqian would not agree.

Although I am not afraid of others causing trouble, under the current circumstances, there are enough people and it is indeed not suitable for me to ask to go to Xuzhou on my own initiative.

Shen Ruhui nodded, "Miss, you have thought it through. But if there is another opportunity next time, please don't let it go."

Su Juan nodded in agreement. She also knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the court and have a say, she could not always stay in the Ministry of Revenue as a sixth-rank official. Only with power could she do what she wanted to do.

Xie Xun listened for a long time and felt sleepy. He accidentally dozed off for a while, but he had to continue listening and heard most of the conversation.

He yawned, "If you go to Xuzhou, take me with you. I'm good at fighting and can protect you."

Su Juan and Shen Ruhui looked at each other.

Shen Ruhui smiled. It was obvious that Master Xie was not listening, but he always stayed here and never missed any conversations with Su Juan.

I'm afraid it was under the instructions of the Duke.

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Shen Ruhui did not reveal them. After all, he was now living under someone else's roof, and as long as they did not affect his and Su Juan's plans, he could just turn a blind eye to some things.

Looking at Xie Xun, Su Juan didn't even bother to pay attention to him. She shook her head and got up and left.

She even began to suspect that Xie Xun was someone who was arranged by someone to monitor her. Even though she didn't like to hear it, she still had to force herself to listen every time.

Xie Xun: “?”

…

At this time, Liu Miaoqing, who had returned to the Liu Mansion, was called to the study to discuss matters because he would leave for Xuzhou in two days. The Minister of the Central Secretariat reminded him of many things. Xuzhou had suffered a flood and many people were affected. It was inevitable that there would be riots in some places. There would be epidemics after the disaster, so he had to be careful about everything.

After giving instructions for a while, he suddenly remembered that he had important matters to deal with, so he went out for a while.

Liu Miaoqing waited for him to come back for a long time, so she got up and prepared to leave.

Just as she stood up to leave, she caught a glimpse of a piece of pressed paper on the table, and the pattern on it caught her attention.

She felt vaguely that he looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen him.

Why is there such a picture in my father’s study?

...

On the day when Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Revenue led his men to Xuzhou, Su Juan prepared a lot of medicine and hidden weapons for self-defense and saw them off at the city gate.

Su Juan demonstrated how to use the hidden weapon briefly and tied it to Liu Miaoqing's hand. He then handed the bag to her and said, "The most feared thing about the flood in Xuzhou is encountering epidemics and mobs. I have prepared some medicine and self-defense items for you. You can carry them with you for protection."

[Xuzhou was never a peaceful place to begin with, and now it is hit by a flood, I am afraid the bandits will become even more rampant.]

Knowing that Su Juan was worried about him, Liu Miaoqing put on his bag and said, "Don't worry, there are guards to protect us on our way to Xuzhou. There are plenty of herbs and food. I don't think anything serious will happen."

"As for you, you should be cautious and careful in your actions in the capital. Consult with others when encountering problems, such as Shen Ruhui or Liu Xuan. Don't act rashly."

Now Song Qianfan has set his sights on Su Juan again. She is afraid that given Song Qianfan's character, he will resort to some despicable means to force Su Juan to submit.

Su Juan was bolder than ordinary people. She was afraid that Su Juan would get angry and kill Song Qianfan directly. That would be terrible.

After all, she had always known that Su Juan wanted to kill Song Qianfan.

Seeing Liu Miaoqing's worry, Xie Xun patted his chest and volunteered, "Don't worry, I'm here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

As long as I, Young Master Xie, am here, no one can hurt Su Juan. And Song Qianfan is nothing. He has thin arms and legs, not even enough for me to fight against.

Seeing Xie Xun's confident and swaggering look, Liu Miaoqing sighed. She was worried because Xie Xun was by Su Juan's side and he was an impulsive person.

I’m afraid that Su Juan will be led astray by Xie Xun.

The method used in the capital is not to fight a war.

She looked at Liu Xuan who was also there to see her off, "Although Juan is usually smart, she will inevitably panic when encountering something big. Please take care of her for me."

Liu Xuan nodded, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Liu Miaoqing believed that the most intelligent person here was Liu Xuan. If anything really happened, with Liu Xuan in charge, there would be no chaos.

Su Juan: “?”

[Liu Xuan is just a weak scholar, why do you want him to take care of me? ]

[No, why does it look a bit like entrusting an orphan to someone else???]

Xie Xun: “???” No, where do you put me?

The eyes of the people watching this scene were all teary. Although there was no new volume of The Famous Two Beauties, it did not stop them from watching the show.

Look, Liu Miaoqing went to provide disaster relief, and this official was reluctant to leave. Liu Miaoqing even entrusted the person to Lord Liu. How deep must their relationship be!

So, Sir, are you really not going to write it?

What a pity. What a pity.
