Chapter 166 It’s time to take action



Su Jinyue smiled slightly and nodded, "Thank you for your reminder, Your Highness. I will be careful in dealing with it."

After sending Su Jinyue to the palace gate, Murong Jun said, "You exposed those palace servants in front of Princess Xijiang today. I think she will hate you."

Su Jinyue said calmly, "I guessed it."

Seeing Su Jinyue's reaction, Murong Jun said, "I have a few secret guards who can be used. I will send them to Miss Su."

"No need, Your Highness, your safety is more important than that of this minister."

Being rejected by Su Jinyue, Murong Jun just nodded and said, "Ms. Su helped me a lot today, so I owe you a favor. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me for help."

"Come to think of it, I do have something that I need your help with, Your Highness." Su Jinyue said.

Hearing Su Jinyue's blunt words, Murong Jun raised his eyebrows, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Does His Royal Highness know Zhao Qifeng?"

When mentioning Zhao Qifeng, Murong Jun frowned, "His father was the teacher of the emperor, but he has no ability, unlike his father."

"But this man has always loved forming factions in the court, and I am not familiar with him."

Zhao Qifeng is a man who always uses despicable means. If we don't deal with him now, something bad will happen in the future.

However, Murong Jun would not do anything to Zhao Qifeng because of her words. After all, his father was the teacher of the current emperor.

"I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do me a favor and cause some trouble for Zhao Qifeng."

Murong Jun became curious, "I promised you a thousand gold coins, are you sure you just want me to cause trouble for him?"

"Yes." Su Jinyue said, "I'm afraid he will go to the Marquis's mansion to harass my brother in the next few days. My brother is sick today, and I want him to recuperate in the mansion."

This reason sounded completely untenable, but Murong Jun looked at Su Jinyue for a while and nodded, "Okay, he must be tied up by things recently and can't spare any time."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will leave the palace now."

Looking at Su Jinyue's leaving back, Murong Jun twisted the beads in his hand with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Murong Jun looked at Su Jinyue's departing back for a long time, with many unanswered questions in his mind. At this moment, a low-pitched discussion came from not far away.

The next day, news came from the palace, and Su Jinyue heard it from Old Madam Su.

Liu was talking with saliva flying, "Have you heard about it? Zhao Qifeng was found to have close contacts with some illegal businessmen, and is now being impeached by the censor!"

Old Lady Su frowned, "What? How could he be so careless?"

"That's right! Besides, people say this didn't happen overnight. Someone has been eyeing him for a long time."

"It seems like he's in big trouble this time!" Liu looked at Jiang Caiping with a smug tone, "I told you long ago that the Zhao family is unreliable, but you still rushed to ask Jingnian to curry favor with him."

"Luckily, when that happened, our Jin Yue stopped Zhao Qifeng from entering the mansion, otherwise we would have been implicated by him!"

"The Ministry of Public Security is already preparing to try his case. I don't think he has any chance of turning things around!"

Su Jinyue sat aside, peeling almonds for Old Madam Su, pretending that this matter had nothing to do with her.

She knew in her heart that Murong Jun had given her a push from behind, otherwise things would not have developed so quickly.

However, what she didn't expect was that Zhao Qifeng would cause such a big mess.

Those so-called illegal businessmen are probably related to Xijiang, otherwise his case would not have been resolved so quickly.

"Jin Yue?"

Su Jinyue came back to her senses, heard someone calling her, and looked up.

Jiang Caiping said, "I originally wanted to ask your elder brother to go with you to this palace banquet."

"But now that your eldest brother has become like this, mother really doesn't know what to do."

Jiang Caiping wanted her to bring Su Chengjiang along to test her.

But it just so happened that she also wanted to bring Su Chengjiang along, otherwise the show wouldn't be able to go on.

Su Jinyue smiled and said, "Mother, since I can't bring my eldest brother with me, then let my second brother go to the palace with me."

"If I am the only one entering the palace, I am afraid that others will gossip about me at the banquet."

Jiang Caiping was thinking the same thing in her heart, and immediately nodded and smiled, "Jin Yue is right, look at your mother's brain, she forgot about your second brother."

Not long after Su Jinyue returned to the courtyard, Xiao Tao came into the house and reported to her, "Miss, the second young master is here."

"He looks like he's coming with a threatening attitude. If the young lady doesn't want to see him, I will send the second young master away."

"No need." Su Jinyue also guessed that it was time for him to come over.

She stood up and said to Xiao Tao, "Just focus on recovering from your injuries and don't bother with these people."

Su Jinyue pushed open the door and walked out, only to see Su Chengjiang standing in her yard with a menacing look.

She walked down the steps slowly and glanced at Su Chengjiang, "What's the matter?"

"Why don't you let my brother go to the palace banquet! What is your purpose in letting me go to the palace banquet with you?!"

Su Chengjiang rushed around like a headless fly, "Don't think I'll be grateful if you let me go to the palace banquet with you!"

Su Jinyue lazily sat on the stone bench in the yard and glanced at him with disdain, "I said you are stupid, do you really want to make good on your reputation?"

Su Chengjiang's face darkened, "How dare you scold me?!"

"Oh."

Su Jinyue sneered, "You came to me so aggressively today, probably because you listened to Su Jingnian's words and came to cause trouble for me, right?"

"He must be saying that I went to the palace without him for some other purpose, and that I brought you with me just to cover up my tracks."

Su Chengjiang hesitated for a moment, "How...how do you know?"

"Guess."

Su Jinyue shook her head and said, "You should ask your mother who prevented him from attending the palace banquet."

"I don't believe it! Are you trying to sow discord between me and my brother?" Su Chengjiang said angrily, but there was a hint of hesitation in his tone.

Su Jinyue looked at him coldly, "If you are not too stupid, you should find out the truth of the matter instead of making trouble in front of me."

Su Chengjiang frowned, as if thinking about her words.

After a while, he was about to ask Su Jinyue, when a maid's voice came from the gate of the courtyard, "Second Young Master, the Madam invites you to come over."

Su Chengjiang nodded and glanced at Su Jinyue, "There are some things I will explain to you when I come back!"

He turned around and walked out with the maid. Su Jinyue tapped the stone table with her fingertips and looked up at the blue sky.

In her previous life, she was too soft-hearted and fell into the hands of these idiots!

In Jiang Caiping's yard.

Su Chengjiang bowed to Jiang Caiping, "Mother."

Jiang Caiping's face was ugly, "Why are you making trouble in your sister's yard?"
