"Son-in-law!"
Wei Xiao saw Si Chuyu coming out of the Moon Gate and hurried to greet him.
"So? What else does Cui Zhehan have in mind?"
Wei Xiao: "The people sent by Cui Zhehan have been captured by the Meng family outside the city. Cui Zhehan tried to intercept the documents entering the capital."
Si Chuyu sneered and said, "They are making a last-ditch effort. Okay, go down and rest."
"Mom, please come out for a moment."
Si Meng made the quilt for Lu Yuan, left the room, and followed Si Chuyu into the study.
"Ayu, everyone in Huayang County knows what happened in the Imperial Examination Hall today. I heard that Cui Zhehan vomited blood and fainted?"
Si Chuyu nodded, "Yes, I want to tell you something important, please don't get excited when you hear it."
"Just tell me, I've seen a lot of things."
Si Chuyu: "My son just came back from Fanghua Garden and handed over the testimony that Ah Jin got from Cui Zhehan's confidant Yang Bo to Madam Su. Yang Bo not only gave a detailed account of the Cui family's smuggling of iron ore over the years, but also confessed to several murders."
Simeng snorted, "The Cui family is definitely not clean! Oh, and Wen'er injured his throat at the Cui family. We in the Meng family will report him severely. Wen'er can't suffer in vain."
"What I'm telling you is related to Brother Wen. He should be the heir of the Meng family."
"What?" Simeng couldn't believe her ears. "Whose heir?"
"Mother, don't get excited yet. I'll tell you slowly. This morning, Ajin, following Madam Su's instructions, led people to capture Yang Bo, and only then were we able to rescue Master Qi's wife and daughter in time.
Ah Jin went back that afternoon and interrogated Yang Bo again. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Yang Bo confessed the truth about Song Wan's difficult labor and said that he was the one who threw Song Wan's poisoned child into a mass grave..."
"This damn Cui family!" Simeng was so angry she nearly fainted. "They couldn't defeat your uncle and his men in the court, yet they're plotting to shatter us! No wonder Yunqian has that Luo kid around. It turns out the Cuis are deliberately trying to taint our Meng family's legacy! No! I need to get back to the Meng Mansion right away. The descendants of the Cuis can't stay in our Meng family!"
"Mom, please calm down first, the child is innocent!" Si Chuyu quickly pulled the person back.
"Mrs. Su knew the truth of that year before she even read Yang Bo's confession. Zilu also knew it today. Zilu loves Yunqian very much. They have been father and son for nearly five years. The father-son bond cannot be severed just by saying so..."
"Then what do you say we should do? This child can't stay with the Meng family no matter what. The Cui family is doomed this time. It's either death or exile. Won't the child harbor resentment when he grows up? Besides, Yunqian's mind is unstable and he can be easily deceived, especially by that lingering Luo child!"
"The Luo family can't cause any big trouble, but anyone who marries into the Cui family will suffer." Si Chuyu stroked her back to soothe her emotions. "Over the years, the entire Meng family has never doubted Meng Yunqian's identity. This was all set up by Cui Zhehan, even his appearance was taken into account..."
Simeng was still indignant, "The Cui family is truly sinful! Cui Zhehan can't just die like this. He must live and suffer. Let him watch the Cui family ruined by his own hands!"
"Don't worry, Cui Zhehan won't die so easily. He has Concubine Cui and the Second Prince behind him. He won't give in easily! Now that Wen Ge'er knows that Zilu is his biological father, does Wen Ge'er want to return to the Meng family? Will Master Su and Madam Su let him go? We don't know. After the Cui family incident is over, the Su family will return to Guihua Village in Xishui County. Will Wen Ge'er follow them then?"
Upon hearing this, Si Meng became worried. How dare her Meng family snatch the child from the princess?
"Xiao Yu, Lord Qi has already sent someone to the capital to report the cheating in the provincial examination. The capital will receive the news within seven days."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and handed a cup of ginseng tea to Su Xingyi. "Thank you for your hard work today. Have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up first."
Su Xingyi glanced at the evidence of the Cui family's iron ore smuggling on the desk, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "After warming up, do you still need to run errands for your husband?"
"Ha..." Xiao Lingyu smiled. "You're really smart. After dinner, I need you to go to the government office and the Meng Mansion. Tomorrow morning, have them send the witnesses and evidence to the capital. I'm afraid there's quite a stir in the capital today. Send a big gift to the Second Prince in seven days."
This is all Xiao Lingyu can do now. She has no control over the situation in the capital, so it is unknown whether any accidents will happen.
Now it all depends on the Meng family's combat effectiveness and Feng Jinyu's remaining power in Beijing.
"Running errands is fine, but drinking tea won't satisfy your hunger." Su Xingyi looked at Xiao Lingyu meaningfully.
Xiao Lingyu looked at his thin lips and chuckled: "How about you drink a few more glasses?"
Su Xingyi put down the teacup, suddenly stood up and walked over, put his hands on the back of the chair, and forcefully held Xiao Lingyu in his arms.
Things happened so quickly that Xiao Lingyu instantly felt a sense of oppression. This feeling only lasted for a moment and was dispelled by the warm touch he brought.
After a long while, Xiao Lingyu lay on the desk, watching Su Xingyi drink ginseng tea cup after cup, and said breathlessly: "Husband, is the ginseng tea delicious?"
"It's delicious, very thirst-quenching." Su Xingyi blushed slightly, a smile in the corner of his eyes, "I want to drink it again tomorrow, no, I want to drink it every day."
"Ginseng tea is very expensive." Xiao Lingyu sat up straight. "How can you get good things every day? Unless..."
"Unless what?" Su Xingyi looked at her with burning eyes. He didn't know where he got the courage from just now, but he kissed her without Xiaoyu's permission.
Looking at those delicate and tempting lips at this moment, I have the heart but not the courage.
"Unless you're obedient, and I'm in a good mood, I'll use the Golden Jade Peak to make you some ginseng tea."
