"This..." The official looked embarrassed and obviously did not want to have a bad relationship with Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
"Miss Su, we are actually following orders. It's just routine. I hope you can cooperate."
Su Jinyue smiled and said, "Since this is a routine matter, I naturally cannot stop you. Do you have any documents to search for?"
The official did not dare to neglect and quickly presented the document, "Miss Su, please take a look. We are just following the rules and it is indeed not our intention to embarrass the Marquis's Mansion."
Passersby watching on the side couldn't help but talk about it.
"What's going on? Why did the police come to search our house out of the blue?"
"Could it be that something went wrong in the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion again? It has only been quiet for a few days?"
"Hey, be careful, it's better for us not to talk about this kind of thing."
After reading the document, Su Jinyue frowned even more.
The search warrant was issued by the Ministry of Justice in the palace.
The one we are searching for is Qin Qiong!
Except Xiao Duo and the others, no one knew that Qin Qiong was rescued by her.
Although the owner of Xiaoyao Tower knew about it, Su Jinyue was certain that he would never tell anyone about it.
That means there is someone lurking in the dark, and wants to deal with the Marquis' Mansion.
After reading the document, Su Jinyue handed it to the official and said, "In that case, please go ahead."
"Since it is said that our mansion is harboring a wanted criminal, then as the legitimate daughter of the mansion, I must also prove the innocence of the mansion."
"If I don't find the wanted criminal in the Marquis' Mansion, I will report it to His Majesty. Someone is going to cause trouble for our Marquis' Mansion!"
As Su Jinyue finished speaking, the officers couldn't help but look at each other.
Although I am following orders, if nothing is found in the Marquis' Mansion, then the responsibility will be difficult to shirk!
"Miss Su, we are also following the orders of our superiors. We have no intention of offending you. Please forgive us."
Su Jinyue stepped aside and gestured to the officers, "Go ahead."
After the officers searched the marquis's mansion, they did not find Qin Qiong.
The leading officer had an unpleasant expression on his face, and he bowed to Su Jinyue, "Miss Su, your mansion really didn't harbor the criminal, so we will go back and report first."
"etc."
Su Jinyue stopped him with a cold look, "Go back and tell your master that tomorrow in the court, we would rather the Marquis' Mansion will report him!"
After hearing this, the official's face turned pale. "Don't worry, Miss Su. I will report this matter to you in detail!"
Having said that, he led the officers and soldiers away in a hurry.
Su Jinyue asked someone to tell Jiang Caiping not to worry, and then returned to her own yard.
…
The night deepens.
Candlelight flickered in the house.
Su Jinyue lay on the bed, closed her eyes and dozed off.
Suddenly, the window frame made a noise, and Su Jinyue opened her eyes abruptly, "Who?!"
"I."
A deep male voice sounded. Su Jinyue's eyes flickered for a moment when she heard it, and she turned over and sat up.
She looked at the person who came and found it was the owner of Xiaoyao Tower, Mu Ze.
Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows and asked with a half-smile, "It's you? Didn't the host go out to have some free time? Why are you here?"
Mu Ze leaned against the window and asked, "Who does Miss Su think is coming?"
"Master Mu Ze, I'm grateful for your visit so late at night. What can I do for you?" Su Jinyue asked.
Mu Ze chuckled, "Because of what happened to you today."
"What do you mean?" Su Jinyue frowned slightly, remaining alert at all times.
"I got the news that the Ministry of Justice in the palace has begun to take action against your Ningyuan Marquis Mansion." Mu Ze said bluntly, "It's because Qin Qiong, the news that he is still alive has spread."
"The Second Prince came to see you today because of the matter in Western Xinjiang, right?"
Since he already knew everything, Su Jinyue didn't want to hide it anymore, "Yes, you are worthy of being the owner of Xiaoyao Tower. You know everything."
Mu Ze said: "You don't have to play tricks on me. I came here today to tell you an important news."
Su Jinyue was slightly surprised, "Oh? What important news do you have?"
Mu Ze smiled faintly and said, "According to the information I received, the nephew of the Queen Mother's mother's family is Qin Qiong's father."
Su Jinyue was stunned. This was the first time she knew about this.
"Qin Qiong's father was the late emperor's favorite brother." Mu Ze explained slowly, "Before the late emperor passed away, he specially named him Qin Guojiu, and the title was hereditary. Unfortunately, their Qin family was framed because the foreign relatives controlled the government and implicated them, so they were killed."
Su Jinyue had a headache. "What does it matter even if we know these things now?"
"There is nothing that can be done to change these grudges and hatreds." Su Jinyue sighed lightly, but she had already started to think about how to deal with the next step.
"But it at least gives you some idea of the truth of the matter."
Mu Ze said calmly, "Sometimes, a small opportunity can change the situation, and you can only use people well if you know their background. You can use them with peace of mind if you know their background."
"Consider this news as a gift to you. Anyway, the capital is going to be in turmoil during this period. I don't know if you will have the chance to come to Xiaoyao Tower to find me after this incident is over."
Su Jinyue knew exactly what Mu Ze meant. This guy was just trying to provoke her with these words.
Su Jinyue curled her lips and snorted, "Please don't let me lose track of you after this incident."
Mu Ze didn't comment, "After all, just remember my promise."
After saying that, Mu Ze turned around and was about to leave.
Su Jinyue called out to him, "Wait."
"Um?"
Mu Ze stopped and turned to look at her.
Su Jinyue said solemnly, "Remember what you promised me."
Mu Ze raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You don't want to suffer any loss. If you really want me to help you to the end..."
Su Jinyue interrupted Mu Ze, "You don't have to test me again and again, that condition is absolutely impossible!"
"In that case..."
Mu Ze said leisurely, with a hint of regret, "I wish Miss Su good luck."
After saying that, he raised his legs and jumped into the dark night!
Su Jinyue looked at his figure and frowned secretly. Mu Ze was a very dangerous person. It was not a solution to rely on Xiaoyao Tower for everything.
The next morning, Su Jinyue changed Xiao Tao's medicine. Seeing that the little maid's complexion had improved a lot, she felt relieved for a moment, "Fortunately you are okay. You don't know how scared I was when you blocked the knife for me that day."
Although Xiao Tao's cheeks were pale, she still smiled sweetly and comforted Su Jinyue, "Miss, don't worry, I have thick skin and flesh, nothing will happen to me!"
As the master and servant were talking, someone came into the yard. It was Nanny Song from Old Madam Su's yard.
Su Jinyue was a little surprised to see Nanny Song, "Why are you here, Nanny?"
Nanny Song was sweating profusely as she bowed to Su Jinyue, "Miss, please go to the ancestral hall! The young master was not paying attention and smashed the porcelain bowl he was eating from and cut his wrist! Something bad is going to happen!"
Su Jinyue didn't care at all. Would he be willing to die before he could be with Su Zhiyao?
"Just go find the doctor. Why are you looking for me, Mammy?"
