Chapter 133 The God of War Returns to Beijing
"Is the thing in this bottle called Liyunxiang?"
Su Cheng glanced up at her, amusement hidden in his eyes, "Last night, Sister Sheng'er followed me with great effort. When I discovered her, she dropped this thing when she fled in a panic."
"I've already revealed my virginity, and you all have seen it clearly, but Sister Sheng'er keeps saying it's impossible." Su Cheng chuckled calmly, "I'm confused. Why is Sister Sheng'er so sure that I'm not innocent?"
"Who followed you..." Zhao Sheng'er refused to admit it, her face pale. "Stop slandering me! You killed my parents and my younger brother, and now you're trying to slander me?"
"Su Cheng, you jinx, are you really going to kill all four of us before you'll be satisfied?"
"you---"
"Xie Ming."
Su Cheng raised his hand to stop the man from moving forward with his sword. He glanced at Zhao Sheng'er and smiled, "How did your hair break? I'm afraid you've forgotten?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Sheng'er paused, and she caught a glimpse of the long sword in Xie Ming's hand with panic on her face.
"What's in here? Just ask a doctor and they'll tell you." Su Cheng played with the porcelain bottle in his hand and said in a flat voice, "I didn't make it clear because I wanted to save your dignity, but that doesn't mean I won't hold you accountable."
"If you know what's best for you, you should go to the government and confess your crime."
Zhao Sheng'er swallowed hard, trying to calm herself down. "You've convicted me with just a few words. You're saying it was me who murdered you. Where's the evidence? Are you hurt at all?"
"You really won't cry until you see the coffin." Su Cheng sneered softly, not taking her words to heart at all. "How can you be sure that I don't have evidence? Zhao Sheng'er, if I can get something on your mother, I can naturally get something on you too."
Su Cheng handed the porcelain bottle in his hand to the man beside him and said softly, "Xie Ming, send this thing to the government."
"Okay." Xie Ming glanced at Zhao Sheng'er who was slumped on the ground, tapped his toes lightly, and flew directly over the courtyard wall.
"No!" Zhao Sheng'er's face turned pale. She wanted to stop Xie Ming, but Xie Ming used some Qinggong skills and flew away easily without even passing by her. She turned around and glared at Su Cheng, shouting, "You vicious bitch! We are one family. What good will it do you to destroy me?"
Before Su Cheng could say anything else, her little finger was grabbed by someone.
Su Cheng looked down and met the little girl's angry face.
"Mom." Su Zhijun hid behind her and called out "Mom" silently. Then he handed her a fire stick as thick as his wrist and whispered, "Beat her, beat her to death!"
Su Cheng couldn't help laughing, his eyes curved with laughter. He reached out to take the stick from the little girl and agreed softly, "Okay, listen to my daughter and beat her to death."
"The Zhao family should share honor and disgrace. By acting this way, you clearly disregard the family's reputation. You are simply... what are you going to do!"
Zhao Sheng'er was still chattering, hoping to mobilize public opinion to make Su Cheng give in, but when she turned around, she saw Su Cheng walking towards her with a long stick.
"You... don't come over here!" Zhao Sheng'er had seen Su Cheng's behavior before, and her face turned pale with fear. She quickly backed away, scolding the maidservant, "Are you dead? Are you going to watch her come over here?"
The maids all looked unhappy. The outcome was already decided, and they had just faced the reality.
Zhao Sheng'er is no match for Su Cheng at all.
She almost wet her pants just because someone threatened her a few times.
"My dear Miss, I know something about the inside story and am willing to go to the government to testify on your behalf."
"I am the same, Miss. Please show some mercy and don't treat me like that."
"Miss, please let us go. We are willing to defend you. We just offended you because we wanted to make a living. We were forced to do so. Please calm down."
"You..." Zhao Sheng'er's eyes were bloodshot, and she wished she could skin them alive. "You all rely on the eldest wife for food and drink, and now you've openly switched sides. Do you think the eldest wife is dead?"
"This bitch is so cunning and vicious, how could she be so soft-hearted as to take in a bunch of you fence-sitters!"
She was right. No matter how stupid Su Cheng was, he would not believe these people.
But now is the time to use them.
Su Cheng glanced at the faces of these people one by one and said nonchalantly, "If you truly repent, I will naturally show mercy and only fine you one month's salary. You won't be beaten or sold out."
"Thank you, Miss. I am willing to serve you at my utmost."
Hearing these words, Zhao Sheng'er was shocked as if struck by thunder.
She couldn't believe that she lost so easily to Su Cheng, who came from the countryside.
When the police came to arrest Zhao Sheng'er, the head of the family, Zhao Hu, had not shown up yet.
"Miss, the master is waiting outside."
Steward Liu walked slowly into Lixiang Garden, glanced around, and finally landed on Su Cheng. "The master of the house asked me to tell you, young lady, if you still want to go to Fo'an Temple with us?"
"Of course I have to go." Su Cheng had already packed up and put the previous farce behind him. "Please lead the way, Manager Liu."
"yes."
The Zhao family's carriage stopped steadily in front of the gate. Zhao Hu looked quietly at the book in his hand, turning a page from time to time.
There was a sound outside, and without even opening his eyelids, he asked in a low voice, "Are you here?"
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Lord Zhao." Su Cheng got into the carriage swiftly and sat down on the small couch beside him.
"Zhao Sheng'er has been captured." Zhao Hu said calmly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. "Is this your doing?"
"She was determined to die and took the initiative to run into the gun." Su Cheng raised his eyes, without a trace of fear in his eyes, "I personally sent Master Zhao's relatives to prison. Master, you won't blame me, right?"
Zhao Hu lowered his head to read, his expression calm and composed, without a trace of displeasure. "She committed suicide, it has nothing to do with me."
Hearing this, Su Cheng finally felt relieved and stared at the crowd on the street comfortably.
"The loyal king has returned to the capital! The God of War has returned to the capital!"
Suddenly, shouts were heard outside the car, and the speaker sounded excited, as if the king's return to the capital was a great joyous event.
"Loyal to the King..."
Isn’t that Huo Beiting?
Su Cheng's expression suddenly changed. Before she knew it, the army supporting the king had already arrived in front of her.
Without time to react, Su Cheng hurriedly lowered the car curtain, pressed his body against the car wall, and stood still.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Hu frowned and asked in a low voice, "Why is your forehead sweating?"
Su Cheng's breathing was a little disordered. Hearing this, he just shook his head slightly to indicate that he was fine.
Damn Huo Beiting, he really is haunting me!
Outside the car, Huo Beiting glanced and saw only the slightly swaying curtains and a fleeting jade hand.
Huo Beiting subconsciously tightened the reins, and his subordinate beside him spoke with great discernment, "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"
Looking at the carriage going away, Huo Beiting frowned slightly, not knowing who he was thinking of. His face looked a little ugly, "Go check, who owns that carriage."
