Chapter 104: The General’s Wife is Still Alive?
The lights are coming on.
Sparks began to ignite in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
Su Yanqiu was reading official documents in the side room when his maid Ziyuan hurried over.
"Sir, there is a young man in white in front of the mansion. He said he wants to see you."
Su Yanqiu put down the document in his hand, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Sure enough, he took the bait."
"What does the young man in white look like?"
Zi Yuan said, "That young man was a handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was holding a palm-leaf fan and said his surname was Yu. He wanted to meet the prince."
Su Yanqiu stood up from his chair and looked at Ziyuan.
"Have the doorman bring someone to see this prince, and you go to the other courtyard and bring Miss Yuzhen out."
Zi Yuan nodded: "Yes, Prince."
The Su family's front hall.
Su Yanqiu sat upright on a high seat, watching the two doormen bring Yu Wushuang in from outside.
He looked at Yu Wushuang's face from afar and was sure that the Jiangdong strategist was a good one.
He looked at Zixuan from the side and saw that she looked excited. He became more certain that Zixuan was Yu Wushuang's sister.
After Yu Wushuang was brought to Su Yanqiu, he immediately bowed to Su Yanqiu.
"I, Yu Wushuang, greet the Duke of Dingbei."
Su Yanqiu curled his lips and said, "Young Master Yu, there is no need to be so polite. I wonder why you are looking for me?"
He asked even though he knew the answer.
Yu Wushuang raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Zixuan who was standing beside Su Yanqiu.
"My Lord, I heard today that you redeemed my sister, so I came here especially for her."
"Brother." As soon as Yu Wushuang finished speaking, he heard Zi Xuan's soft, choked voice coming from the chair.
Zi Xuan got up from the chair and threw herself into Yu Wushuang's arms with red eyes.
"Brother, why did you come just now? It's been two years, Zhen'er missed you so much."
Yu Wushuang gently stroked her head and whispered, "It's all my fault. I made my cousin suffer so much and left you stranded in Yanjing."
"I've been searching for you everywhere for the past two years, almost going crazy. Since you're in Yanjing, why don't you send me a message?"
Zi Xuan sobbed twice, came out of Yu Wushuang's arms, and choked up, "Zhen'er was sold to Qinhuai Tower by my cousin, and then resold to Yipin Tower. I have no face to face my brother."
She looked at Su Yanqiu.
"Fortunately, it was the prince who redeemed me."
"The prince said that he could let me see my brother, so I followed him to the Su family."
Yu Wushuang quickly saluted Su Yanqiu.
"Thank you, Prince, for redeeming my sister."
Su Yanqiu smiled and said, "Mr. Yu is too polite."
"It is my honor to allow you two siblings to meet again."
"It's just that... Miss Yuzhen's indenture contract is in my hands. If you want to take Miss Yuzhen away..."
Su Yanqiu fell silent and looked at Yu Wushuang again.
"Master Yu is a rare talent, and this prince has always been very rare."
"I wonder if Master Yu can conspire with me on this important matter?"
Yu Wushuang frowned slightly, and it was exactly the same as what Su Yuheng said.
Su Yanqiu had a purpose.
He smiled and looked at Su Yanqiu.
"I wonder what the prince means by this?"
Su Yanqiu said: "It seems that what I said was not straightforward enough."
"If Master Yu conspires with me, I will free you and your sister in just half a year. What do you think?"
Yu Wushuang looked at Zixuan, and Zixuan gave him a slight signal.
"Brother, the prince saved my life. If he hadn't redeemed me, I'm afraid Yu Zhen would still be showing off her zither skills for those dignitaries in this building, becoming their plaything."
"Yu Zhen's indenture is now in the hands of the prince. If she wants freedom, I'm afraid..."
Zixuan's words stopped abruptly at her lips.
Su Yanqiu smiled and looked at Yu Wushuang.
"Don't worry, Master Yu. As long as Yu Zhen is in my Su family, I will protect her."
"In half a year, I will give Yuzhen freedom."
Yu Wushuang nodded and looked at Su Yanqiu with a firm gaze.
"If the prince can treat my sister well, I, Yu Wushuang, am willing to work for him."
"That's good." Su Yanqiu raised the corners of his lips.
"You stay at my Su's house today, and I'll take you to see someone tomorrow."
Yu Wushuang cupped his hands: "Yes, Prince."
After Su Yanqiu had someone arrange for Yu Wushuang, Yu Wushuang sent a message to Prince Li's Mansion.
In the study, Bai Ze handed a letter to Huo Xingzhi.
"Your Highness, this is from Master Yu."
Huo Xingzhi took the letter, opened it slowly, and a cold arc appeared on his thin lips.
"I didn't expect Su Yanqiu to believe it so quickly."
"He probably never dreamed that Zixuan was not Yuzhen at all."
"Next, let Yu Wushuang enter Prince Qi's mansion. You arrange for someone to meet him."
Bai Ze nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Su family.
Late at night, Su Yanqiu extinguished the candle in the study.
After exiting the Su family's side door, he boarded an extremely low-key carriage.
The coachman whipped the horse and headed north of Yanjing.
After about an hour, the carriage stopped in front of a quiet house.
Su Yanqiu got off the carriage and entered the inner house under the protection of several black-clad guards.
In the quiet private room, the sound of tea brewing was heard.
The dim candlelight flickered slightly, making the woman on the soft couch on the north side of the private room look even more charming.
The woman was wearing a black sand-gold long dress, holding a teacup in her delicate hands, and quietly glanced at the man who came in.
"Prince Su, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Su Yanqiu bowed and looked at Princess Yan Ning who was sitting on the couch.
"I wonder why Her Royal Highness the Princess has asked me to come here?"
Princess Yan Ning put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Su Yanqiu meaningfully.
"Prince Su, I asked you to come here today because I have a secret to tell you."
"Please speak, Princess." After Su Yanqiu finished speaking, he looked at the woman on the couch again.
Princess Yan Ning said meaningfully, "Some time ago, someone from this palace went to Qin State and got some earth-shattering news. Is your Highness interested?"
Su Yanqiu frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Princess Yan Ning continued, "Aren't you curious about where the last scroll of the defensive formation diagram is?"
Su Yanqiu's eyes changed, looking somewhat unbelievable.
"The Princess knows?"
Princess Yan Ning smiled and said, "Of course I know. It's in Madam Shen's hands."
"Mrs. Shen?" Su Yanqiu frowned.
"Hasn't Mrs. Shen been dead for many years?"
Princess Yan Ning sighed and said, "I thought so too at first. I thought that bitch Zhao Yurou was dead. I didn't expect that she was actually faking her death."
"She took the last scroll of the defensive formation map and disappeared in Yanjing City."
"These past few days, I've felt that her death was extremely suspicious, so I sent people to investigate. It turns out that bitch Zhao Yurou is still alive."
"However, I heard that she faked her death and left Yanjing, and her life was not going well. She seems to have fallen into the hands of Qin's Prime Minister Minglang. I wonder if this defense map has already fallen into Qin's hands."
