"Not only did I please the emperor, but I was also able to legitimately remove the stain in my life. It was like killing two birds with one stone."
"Oh, no, it's a three-in-one deal. He can also make his beloved daughter his legal wife."
As Su Yin continued to talk, she became more and more speechless.
This Marquis of Shunyi is simply shameless to the extreme.
"This Heng family has definitely become a stepping stone for the Shunyi Marquis, and has been used thoroughly inside and out."
Su Xiaozhong listened to his daughter's analysis and nodded continuously.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye had guessed it to some extent, but since this matter had nothing to do with them, naturally no one would make the decision on behalf of the Heng family.
"I don't know the inside story, but it's probably close to the truth."
Su Yin looked at her father with a serious expression, "Dad, this Shunyi Marquis is probably even more shameless and vicious than we imagined. We are destined to be on opposite sides of him, so we have to be on guard."
Su Xiaozhong nodded. "Your consideration makes sense. Do you have any ideas?"
“The idea is there, but there is a premise.”
Su Xiaozhong became interested, "What's the premise?"
"Dad, what about the wife of Shunyi Marquis? What's her temperament? What kind of person is she?"
Now she heard only one piece of information about this marquis's wife, which was that she would go to the slums to distribute porridge on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and there was no other news.
Whether this porridge distribution was for the purpose of helping the poor and needy, or for the reputation of Shunyi Hou, or for her own reputation, remains to be verified.
Different purposes represent whether the person is available and whether help is necessary.
If she had a good temper, then this marquis' wife could be used by her.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
They have no power now, and if they want to overthrow the powerful marquis, they naturally have to find a useful helper.
This marquis’ wife is the first choice.
But whether she can become a partner now remains to be verified.
If it succeeds, it will not only be good for her family, but also for the Heng family.
"On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, I have to go to the slums to visit the marquis' wife." Su Yin made up his mind.
Su Xiaozhong calculated the time and said, "There is still some time left. There is no need to go there. Your father knows a place where the Marquis' wife often visits."
"Where?" Just after asking, Su Yin thought of something and squinted at her father. "Dad, how do you know that the Marquis's wife often goes to that place?"
Seeing his daughter's sly expression, Su Xiaozhong knocked her on the head in annoyance, "What a mess you have in your head. When I was sitting in that seat, she was already practicing for her sins, and I have never seen her before."
Su Yin chuckled, "Just kidding."
Su Xiaozhong rolled his eyes at his daughter in annoyance and said, "I know that place thanks to that woman Xu Lanzhi."
"Is she involved in this?" Su Yin was a little surprised.
"How can I describe the couple Shunyi Hou and Xu Lanzhi!" Su Xiaozhong had a disgusted expression, "Shunyi Hou often goes to a tavern to drink. The wine there is the best in Shangjing City. Many dignitaries go there for a drink, including Shunyi Hou."
"This place happens to be the dowry of the marquis' wife. The marquis' wife often goes to the tavern and is very concerned about it."
"Marquis Shunyi often comes here again. In the eyes of the new marquis' wife, this behavior is definitely evidence that he is reminiscing about his ex-wife. Xu Lanzhi quarreled with Marquis Shunyi, and one time the quarrel was so serious that Xu Lanzhi scratched the Marquis Shunyi's face. When he was in court, my father couldn't stand him and deliberately asked about it. This joke was exposed by other court officials."
As Su Xiaozhong was talking, he suddenly asked, "Daughter, how did you describe them before?"
"Crazy husband and crazy wife."
Su Xiaozhong nodded seriously with a serious face, "This word is very appropriate."
"There are always wrong names, but there are no wrong nicknames."
"We are moving into the new house and setting up the wine in the warm room. We just need to buy some wine. Why don't we go to the private wine shop of the lady of the Marquis's Mansion?"
"What's the name of the wine shop?"
"It seems to be called... Zijin Tavern."
Hearing the name, Su Yin savored it, "It's a very poetic name. It doesn't sound like the name of a wine shop, but rather like a person's name."
While the father and daughter were talking, their hands did not stop moving. As their conversation came to an end, the situation on the chessboard also came to an end, and the winner was decided.
At the same time, in the heart of the Great Yong Dynasty, a hundred miles away from the capital, there are buildings in the mountains. These buildings are hidden in the mountains where few people go, and no one from the outside world can peek into them.
The people here call this place the Death Camp.
There was a muddy open space in the valley where a group of half-grown children were fighting.
Every once in a while, a group of boys and girls would be sent here.
Here, both boys and girls are subject to the same test, which is a test of life and death.
A battle would be held every few days, and once defeated by the opponent, there was only one way out, and that was death.
If you want to survive here, you must kill your opponent, otherwise you will be the only one who dies.
This is the truth that Su Xinyang realized quickly after entering this place.
“Sizzle”…
The spurting blood dyed his cheeks red. He held the dagger tightly. The remaining blood on the tip of the dagger kept dripping down and fell into the muddy sewage.
He was breathing heavily, staring with red eyes at the boy in front of him who was a head older than him.
With a loud thud, the young man who had just been standing in front of him fell down with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.
Su Xinyang looked around, and there were still ten people standing on the field at this time.
Everyone standing here had scars on their bodies, and everyone was blood-thirsty, looking at each other warily.
On the stands not far away, there were two middle-aged men standing, admiring the fight below.
"Are there any good candidates in this batch?" The person who spoke had a thin and sharp voice, fair skin, and a hint of femininity.
The leader in charge of the Death Squadron looked at a child in the audience and said, "Yes. There are many good talents in this batch. Among them, there are two children who are good in both means and intelligence. They are talented and can be molded. The one I am most optimistic about is that one."
The feminine man followed his gaze and fell on the boy behind Su Xinyang, but soon the feminine man's gaze moved away from the boy and shifted to Su Xinyang.
The leader noticed that the feminine man's expression changed, and followed his gaze, staring at Su Xinyang, who was covered in dirt.
Is there anything special about this boy?
Yin Rou looked at her orchid finger and pointed at Su Xinyang in the audience, "How is he?"
"He is also a good candidate, and is ranked in the top three among this group of people."
"Let him come up."
