Chapter 63 Plea



The loss in this competition was so tragic that there was no need to continue.

The power of Jiang Songyi's arrow was actually equivalent to Su Sheng's three arrows.

As bystanders, they found it difficult to even shoot three arrows at once, which made them feel even more ashamed.

Although Su Sheng was deeply shocked, he couldn't help but admire him after seeing it with his own eyes, "You, who is your master?"

As far as he knew, even the Marquis of Yongding might not have such superb archery skills.

Jiang Songyi was not polite to Su Sheng at all. "This has nothing to do with you. Mr. Su, I hope you can come to the Yongding Marquis Mansion as soon as possible to attend the Shangyuan Palace Banquet."

Su Sheng's face twisted slightly when he thought about being Jiang Songyi's follower, but facing so many children from aristocratic families, he couldn't break his promise: "I accept the loss."

Peng Yuan noticed Su Sheng's embarrassment and smiled, changing the subject. "These live geese are precious treasures, indispensable for the three letters and six ceremonials. Miss Jiang, are you planning to keep them for your brother's future engagement?"

Jiang Jinzhao's gaze, as gentle as spring water, was also gently cast on Jiang Songyi.

The grandmother had already sent someone to carefully raise the wild goose for this marriage, waiting for the wedding day. However, facing Jiang Songyi's insistence, Jiang Jinzhao naturally would not let her lose face in front of everyone on such an occasion.

[Giving it to Jiang Jinzhao? That would be humiliating. How could he possibly be interested in my things?]

Jiang Jinzhao was slightly stunned, and blurted out without thinking: "I don't need it."

Jiang Songyi simply glanced at him lightly, then handed the wild geese to her three cousins, one for each of them: "Take them and keep them, and make soup with them."

She gently waved the last wild goose in her hand and slowly handed it towards Jiang Jinzhao.

Jiang Jinzhao stretched out his hand, ready to take it.

However, Jiang Songyi suddenly turned around and threw the goose to Peng Yuan beside him, "Since you look like a glutton, this goose is for you."

Jiang Jinzhao's hand hovered awkwardly in the air, and it took a long time before he withdrew it unnaturally.

Peng Yuanze was pleasantly surprised and delighted: "Give it to me? That's great. Thank you, Miss Jiang."

Immediately afterwards, he was met with a cold gaze from Jiang Jinzhao.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion with the three sisters of the Hao family, Jiang Songyi transformed himself into a man again, quietly climbed over the mansion wall, and took the Shengfeng business order to find the people from Shengfeng Escort Agency, entrusting them to go to Taibai Mountain to search for the defected maid Yue Qingyang.

Shengfeng Escort Agency is ostensibly an escort agency responsible for transporting goods, but if they hold the Shengfeng Business Order, they will even carry out more difficult tasks, such as murder and arson.

Although Yue Qingyang fell off a cliff after being bitten by a venomous snake and her chances of survival were slim, Jiang Songyi was determined to find her, whether alive or dead.

In his previous life, Yue Qingyang was the emperor who unified four kingdoms. He possessed supreme luck and perhaps he would not fall so easily.

Therefore, once you find her, you must not hesitate to deliver a fatal blow.

On the second floor of the escort agency, behind an ink-and-wash screen, two people sat opposite each other, leisurely sipping tea.

One of them was wearing a dark red robe with wide sleeves, with charming eyebrows and eyes, like an evil demon. His feminine and handsome face made it difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman. It was Gu Zheyuan, the head of the West Factory, whom Jiang Songyi had rescued in the ghost market.

The other man was wearing a moon-white gown and a white jade ring with the word "Shengfeng" engraved on it around his waist. His eyebrows and eyes were as gentle as jade, exuding a scholarly air, but he also revealed the shrewdness and sophistication of a businessman.

Young Master Shengfeng asked doubtfully, "You're just going to give the unrivaled Shengfeng Business Order to someone else so easily?"

Gu Zheyuan's eyes were firm, and he replied calmly, "I cannot repay you for saving my life."

Young Master Shengfeng raised his handsome brows and said sarcastically, "So, you intend to let us, the Shengfeng Chamber of Commerce, repay this favor? Master Factory, it is out of my trust in you that I handed over control of the Chamber of Commerce to you. Are you so reckless as to betray us? That person's identity is unknown, and his motives are unclear. Who knows, he might make us do something illegal and unreasonable. Master Factory, you have truly put our Chamber of Commerce in danger."

Gu Zheyuan, however, disagreed, and said lazily, "She just wants you to deal with a fugitive slave from the Yongding Marquis's Mansion."

"A fugitive from the Yongding Marquis's mansion?"

Young Master Shengfeng gently waved his fan, a playful smile on his lips. "Did you know? The hostage trapped in the Yongding Marquis's mansion also disappeared in Taibai Mountain today."

Gu Zheyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Have the Dongling spies contacted you?"

Even he, who was in charge of the Western Factory, had never heard of this news.

Young Master Shengfeng smiled casually, "The key to doing business is to accept all who come to you. You have customers all over the world. How can you shut out potential business opportunities?"

Liao Qianqian hurried to Jinghong Courtyard, and Jiang Songyi learned that such a dramatic scene had taken place in Taibai Mountain today. Liao was actually sent to the authorities by the old lady for questioning!

Deep down, Jiang Songyi hopes to see her adoptive mother, who has always treated her harshly, suffer retribution.

As night fell, Nanny Xi led Jiang Songyi to Rong Xi Hall and told her what had happened.

"Sister Songyi, although Liao raised you, she is extremely greedy. She deserves to be sent to the government by our grandmother. You don't have to plead for her." Jiang Yuyao knew very well that Jiang Songyi always liked to go against her, so she deliberately provoked her like this.

She thought that Jiang Songyi would plead for Liao because of her relationship with him.

But surprisingly, Jiang Songyi actually nodded. "Sister Yuyao is right. Liao Shi is indeed to blame for this. Back in Xinghua Village, she treated me like a maid. Grandmother should have punished her long ago."

Jiang Yuyao was stunned on the spot.

Jiang Songyi sneered in his heart, regretting that he had not been able to witness the scene with his own eyes.

It's truly a shame. If Liao is imprisoned and the case is investigated, the fake daughter's identity will surely be exposed. Jiang Yuyao must be extremely anxious right now. Not only her, but the Duke of Huguo is also likely to be anxious, after all, she is his beloved.

Jiang Yuyao lowered her eyes, observing the old lady's expression closely. Jiang Songyi's ungrateful behavior and lack of consideration for past relationships would surely make the old lady think she was cold and heartless, right?

However, the old lady expressed her approval of Jiang Songyi: "Songyi can distinguish right from wrong, that's good. I will seek justice for you for what the Liao family has done to you."

Jiang Songyi looked very touched: "Thank you, grandma."

But in my heart I was disdainful: [I hope you can do it].

Soon, a maid came hurriedly to report.

"Madam, the Duke of the Protectorate came personally to visit us and expressed his intention to welcome our aunt back to the mansion."

When Jiang Yuyao heard that it was her father who had arrived, a light of joy instantly flashed in her eyes.

Jiang Songyi couldn't help but scoff inwardly, thinking, "He's so-called bringing Jiang Shu back, but in reality, he has other motives. He wants to use this opportunity to rescue the Liao family."

The old lady's face was solemn and her tone was cold: "Let him in."

Not long after, the Duke of Protectorate entered Rongxi Hall with a young man dressed in the uniform of a student from Bailu Academy to pay his respects to the old lady.
