Chapter 125: Crouching Dragon and Phoenix
Su Wan waited at home for a long time until the people from Fengying Sect came to report that they were safe. His men even dressed up as waiters and wore waiter clothes.
"Young Master Su is drunk and unable to move, so he's staying at our inn. Young Master Su San sent me back to report that he's safe and sound. He said he was with Young Master Su tonight and nothing happened, so he told the young lady not to worry."
In the middle of the night, the waiter came alone over the mountains and across the hills to report the news. He was quite brave and was not afraid of encountering wild beasts or anything.
Su's mother simply thought that Su Wan was worried about Su Jing coming home late, and didn't think much about it. She even asked the waiter to stay:
"My dear fellow, the dew is heavy, and there are many wild beasts in this mountain. It is difficult to travel at night. Why don't you bear with it and squeeze in with my sons? It won't be too late to leave tomorrow morning."
Su Mu and Su Yi were listening from behind. They looked at each other and felt something was strange.
Their thoughts coincided with Su Wan's. The clothes of the waiter in front of them did not fit him well. He was nine feet tall and had a strong build, looking like a martial artist.
Moreover, generally speaking, if a guy of his size goes out to find a job, there are many more ways for him to make money than working as a waiter.
"Don't bother me, madam. I have companions waiting for me, so I won't stay overnight." The waiter refused Su's mother's kindness.
If the other person is unwilling, you can't force him. Su Wan asked his mother to give him some more money as a fee for running errands.
Su's mother didn't know how much to take, so she only took ten coins, but the waiter refused to take any.
"Young Master Su has already given it, Madam, please take it back. I'm leaving first."
The person sent by Fengying had never been a waiter before, so he didn't know the personalities of some waiters.
In this profession, the usual extra income comes from tips, and if they can get more, they will definitely not refuse.
But Su Chen was afraid that they would be worried, so he took a token from Su Jing and asked the waiter to bring it to Su Wan.
It was Su Jing's purse, which was sewn by his mother herself. Of course, his mother recognized it, so the Su family believed it to be true.
Su Wan knew that his elder brother was fine, and he could finally sleep peacefully.
Everyone yawned and went back to their rooms. Su Yun was particularly energetic these past two nights because he slept too much during the day and was full of energy at night.
Poor Su Chen, the tool, not only had to run back and forth, but also had to take care of his drunken elder brother all night. Not long after he finally fell asleep, the inn was filled with the sound of a woman howling like a ghost.
This woman was none other than Zhao Xiyun.
Last night, she was lying excitedly in the room prepared for Su Jing, waiting for someone to send Su Jing, who had been drugged, to her so that they could have the matter settled.
However, Fengying's men found out, so they found a way to knock Zhao Xiyun unconscious and sent her to another room.
When they were ordered to protect the Su family, they had already checked everyone in the Su family and knew that Su Jing had a sworn enemy in the academy who was not a good person either. He was a perfect match for this Miss Zhao.
Then, they replaced the wine with aphrodisiac prepared by the waiter with ordinary wine. Qi Yuan drank the wine, and then he naturally had sex with Miss Zhao.
As for Su Jing, the waiter just took him to the agreed room as instructed and didn't care about anything else.
So, when Zhao Xiyun woke up from a night of passion, she found that the person next to her was Qi Yuan. She thought of her dissolute appearance last night, and then looked at her naked body, and screamed out loud.
Qi Yuan was awakened by her cry, and his thoughts gradually returned. Thinking about what happened last night, he said to Zhao Xiyun with a red face:
"Yun'er, don't worry, I will be responsible for you."
"Get out of here! Who wants you to be responsible? Why you?" Zhao Xiyun started beating him. Qi Yuan didn't fight back and just let her beat him.
Su Jing woke up from a hangover and felt his head was swollen. Seeing Su Chen here, he was still a little confused:
"Third brother, why are you here? Where is this place?"
"Brother, you drank too much last night. I came to pick you up, but you were unconscious, so you stayed here for one night." Su Chen answered truthfully.
Su Jing thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. He didn't think much about it, got up, washed up, and prepared to go home with Su Chen.
The Zhao family had already made plans. When the time was right, they would catch the two of them in the act and force Su Jing to marry Zhao Xiyun.
Mrs. Zhao and her men rushed into Su Jing's room. At this moment, Su Jing and Su Chen were packing up and preparing to go out.
According to the script rehearsed in advance, Mrs. Zhao pushed open the door and came in, and immediately identified Su Jing:
"You beast, you defamed my daughter's innocence. What is your crime?"
Su Jing looked at her with a head full of question marks, wondering if he was too excited or still dreaming.
"Mrs. Zhao, what do you mean?" Su Chen asked from the side.
"Don't you know what I mean? Your elder brother defiled my daughter, and you still ask me what I mean?" Mrs. Zhao said with confidence, and she really didn't doubt that there was something wrong with their plan.
Su Jing's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice:
"Madam Zhao, I respect you as my master's wife, but you slander me with empty words and destroy my reputation. I will also go to the government to sue you."
"You want to sue me? What can you use to sue me? I tell you, if you don't take responsibility for my daughter, I will put you in jail for life and you will never have the chance to take the imperial examination in your life!" Mrs. Zhao's triangular eyes were full of sarcasm.
Not being able to take the imperial examination touched Su Jing's sore spot:
"Mrs. Zhao, you need evidence to accuse someone. There is nothing between Miss Zhao and me, and nothing happened. Yet you are accusing me of this. I am truly innocent."
Mrs. Zhao looked around the room and realized that her daughter was not in the room until a maid ran in hurriedly:
"Madam, something terrible has happened. There's a mistake. Our young lady and Mr. Qi..."
Seeing that there were outsiders present, the maid found it difficult to speak, so she stammered and explained the situation to her in her ear.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao almost rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot. The maid supported her and prevented her from falling to the ground.
"Oh my God~"
Mrs. Zhao sighed to the sky, turned around and walked out of Su Jing's room, and went straight to Zhao Xiyun. When she saw the situation in the room clearly, she burst into another wail.
At this time, the room was already surrounded by onlookers. Someone recognized Mrs. Zhao as the wife of the dean of Zhongyun Academy. Then, the person in the room must be Miss Zhao, right?
