Chapter 65 Don't Leave Any Evidence
"My father is Su Weimin."
"What?!"
Su Chengnan is going to take Sun Liangyuan to Ningguta, so naturally his identity cannot be concealed.
Of course, she didn't want to hide it.
After all, Sun Liangyuan and Su Weimin are old friends. In the words of her adoptive father, Sun Liangyuan is all about eating, drinking and studying. The complicated place like the court will only shorten his life, and he will never get involved in it.
"You...you are faking your death?" Sun Liangyuan was completely shocked.
"Your father died unjustly! Alas... a few days ago, a classmate returned to Luocheng and told me about this. He knew there was a manor granted by the emperor outside the capital, so he went there to look for you, but he only saw a raging fire..."
Sun Liangyuan wiped his tears with his sleeve, "I never expected, I really never expected that you guys actually faked your death and got away."
Su Chengnan was moved when he saw his true feelings, "Sir knows that my father was wronged and is willing to believe him. I believe his spirit in heaven will be very happy."
"The court is really too much! Your father is so loyal! If he had second thoughts, how could Dayong have the current stable situation? He and Prince Ningyuan are both good generals who are loyal to Dayong. Alas."
Sun Liangyuan became more and more excited as he spoke. Su Chengnan could see that he was dissatisfied with the court, especially with Empress Dowager Xiao. This was mainly because the people were having a hard time these days, and these people who cared about the country could not stand it.
"Nan girl, you are now the head of the Su family, so where are your mother and brother?"
"It's in the other courtyard, but my mother was frightened, and she's been depressed over my father's death. She hasn't been in good health recently, so it's not easy for her to take care of my brother."
"I hope to visit my sister-in-law. I hope you can understand, young lady."
"No problem, Chengnan is grateful for your kindness, sir. When my mother is in better spirits in a couple of days, I will invite you to have tea together."
"Um."
When old friends meet, they are always sad.
The fastest way to relieve sorrow is to eat and drink.
It's time for dinner.
Nian Qiu and his servants set the table.
Although men and women usually sit at different tables, there were no outsiders around at the moment, and she and Sun Liangyuan were not the kind of people who would stick to formalities, so they sat together and ate.
"I have known the Marquis for many years, but I didn't know that he was so good at math. What a pity..."
"Don't feel sorry, sir. My father has taught me everything he knows, and I am willing to discuss and learn with you, sir."
“Okay, okay!”
Sun Liangyuan was so happy that he even ate an extra bowl of rice.
But Goudan sat next to them without saying a word, just concentrating on eating, and even the chicken didn't taste good to him.
He thought to himself, it’s all over, he is no longer the teacher’s favorite student, he may never get out of this mountain in his lifetime, and he doesn’t know if he will have the chance to make a name for himself and earn money to pay for his parents’ medical treatment.
…
Capital city.
Zhan Xiao returned to the palace to report.
Empress Xiao sat back on the luxurious phoenix chair, closing her eyes and reciting the rosary in her hands.
"Your Majesty, I have searched Luocheng inside and out, but I cannot find any trace of Sun Liangyuan. I am incompetent, please punish me."
"Humph, with just the four or five people you brought with you, you still dare to say that you have searched inside and outside?"
"I met Prince Ningyuan in Luocheng, and he helped me look for it."
"Oh? Lu Chaofeng?" Empress Dowager Xiao opened her eyes, thought for a moment, and then sneered, "He is so anxious and afraid of death that he walks very fast."
Zhan Xiao knew what she wanted to hear, and quickly added, "Yes, the prince is not in good health. When I saw him, he was almost too sick to get up."
"Fortunately, the Ningyuan Palace has a villa on the outskirts of Luocheng. He has slowly recovered after being nourished by the hot springs. I'm afraid it will take some time before he can continue his journey."
"He knows how to enjoy life. The people in the suburbs of Los Angeles..."
Empress Dowager Xiao stopped talking halfway, opened her eyes, and asked hurriedly, "Where is the villa?"
Zhan Xiao was stunned, and quickly lowered his eyes and replied: "Go north from the outside of Luocheng, about 20 miles. It is built on the mountain, and the environment is not bad."
Empress Xiao turned the beads in her hand faster and faster, and her mood became more and more
It's getting worse. Zhan Xiao could feel her anger even though he was kneeling more than ten meters away.
As expected, after a moment, she frowned and said angrily: "If you can't even handle such a small matter, what use do I have for you?!"
"Everyone, get thirty military sticks and get out!"
Zhan Xiao clenched his fists, a bitter taste rising in his mouth: "Yes, we are willing to accept the punishment!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for not killing me."
He left the Cining Palace and went directly to the palace gate to be punished.
The five people in the group were hit hard by military sticks.
Zhan Xiao felt very uncomfortable when he heard his subordinates' muffled groans. If he really wanted to invite Sun Liangyuan to the palace, why did he do it secretly? Wouldn't it be faster to just issue an order? This was simply an unprovoked disaster. Alas...
Nowadays, the Queen Mother's temper is becoming more and more difficult to figure out...
…
Just as they were being tortured, a carrier pigeon flew out of Empress Dowager Xiao's bedroom.
The pigeon flew to the south of the city and entered the residence of the king's uncle.
After reading the letter, Uncle Xiao threw the note into the fire and said, "Someone come."
"I am here."
"You guys go to Los Angeles tonight and deal with everything that needs to be dealt with. Don't leave any evidence behind."
"Yes, I understand."
Several people quickly changed into night clothes and set out, holding the token and leaving the city, riding their horses all the way north...
…
the next day.
Goudan missed his parents at home and asked to go back to visit them. Although the mansion had sent someone to go see him with Mi Feng before, it was normal for him to be worried about the child since he was still young.
Seeing this, Su Chengnan decided to go and take a look together.
"Lin Hua, do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Okay! When are you leaving?" Su Linhua stuffed the last piece of chocolate into her mouth.
"About half an hour. We'll set off after Mi Feng comes back from collecting herbs."
"Okay, then I'll go bring some soup to my mother first. She said yesterday that the pig's trotter soup I made was delicious." She wiped her hands, stood up and walked out.
"Okay, go ahead." Su Chengnan sat there without moving.
Su Linhua paused, "You're not going?"
Su Chengnan felt that she and Han were becoming increasingly incompatible. She didn't want to escalate the conflict, so she simply let it go and deal with it later.
"I'm not going."
"The shop is almost ready, I have to discuss the opening with Qingshan."
"Oh well."
Su Linhua curled her lips. She had begun to get used to her busyness.
But this is good!
As long as Chen Nan is by her side, she can live a peaceful life without having to worry about the twists and turns that she can't understand, nor does she have to worry about losing her life at any time. She just cooked something to eat and drink every day and was really happy.
After a while, Qingshan came with A Shun.
Ah Shun looked dirty and dusty.
He hesitated for a long time before speaking: "A Shun is incompetent and has not received any food. Miss Su, please help me with some advice for the sake of the prince..."
"If it drags on any longer, I'm worried that the border won't be able to hold on!"
