Chapter 70 Stealing Words/Changing Hairpins
"You are shameless." Su Yuheng curled her lips, reached out to push him away, and put on her clothes.
Then he looked at Huo Xingzhi.
"Your Majesty, I suppose you don't know that we are married?"
Huo Xingzhi smiled and said, "Once the Shen family's affairs are investigated, I will personally take you to see him."
Su Yuheng sighed: "I once dreamed of my brother Shen Tingzhou, his limbs were tied with iron chains, and his body was covered with marks from being whipped."
"Do you think he will be imprisoned in that dungeon? The King of Qi said that he knew the whereabouts of Shen Tingzhou. Is there an underground prison in the King of Qi's mansion?"
Huo Xingzhi frowned, "Do you suspect that Shen Tingzhou is imprisoned in an underground prison?"
Su Yuheng nodded: "At first, I thought it was in the Su family ancestral hall, but then I thought about it and it shouldn't be."
"Your Highness has been to the Su Family Ancestral Hall. The male voice you heard sounded like he was about forty or fifty years old. Could it be..."
The more Su Yuheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
"What's the big deal? What did you guess?"
Su Yuheng said: "The old marquis disappeared in Cangzhou and his whereabouts are still unknown. I am a little suspicious."
"But now there are traps inside the Su family's ancestral hall. Has the Nanhai craftsman been sent to find him?"
Huo Xingzhi nodded: "I've sent someone there, and there should be results in a month or so."
"Do you suspect that the old marquis is imprisoned in the Su family's ancestral hall?"
"I just have a suspicion, not a certainty," Su Yuheng said.
"Now, the Shen family's affairs are still unclear, so I should find an opportunity to test Su Yanqiu."
Huo Xingzhi stood up and walked to her side.
“I will personally send someone to investigate the matter of Shen Tingzhou, and I will arrange for someone to enter the Prince Qi’s Mansion.”
Su Yuheng nodded: "Yes."
After Su Yuheng and Huo Xingzhi got married, they stayed in Prince Li's mansion for three full days.
Huo Xingzhi claimed to be ill and did not go to court for the past three days, and stayed with Su Yuheng every day.
Three days later, Su Yuheng returned to the Su family.
As soon as I stepped into Fangfei Garden, a cold voice came from behind me.
"Where did Heng'er go? Why did he come back just now?"
Su Yuheng turned around and saw that it was Su Yanqiu.
Her expression was calm, but there was disgust in her eyes when she looked at Su Yanqiu.
Su Yanqiu looked at her quietly, and always felt that there was a different flavor about her.
Not as green as before.
"Heng'er."
He took a big step forward and Su Yuheng quickly stepped back.
"Heng'er, don't be afraid of me, okay?"
Su Yuheng said: "It is impossible for the prince and I to be together. If you have nothing else to do, please leave Fangfei Garden."
"Why do you have to act like this? You said you loved me and were willing to bear me children. We've already had physical contact, so how could you treat me like this?"
He walked up to Su Yuheng and held her wrist.
Su Yuheng quickly broke free and said word by word: "I think it's dirty."
"I think it's dirty, don't you understand?"
After those sarcastic words were spoken, Su Yanqiu was so angry that his body trembled slightly.
"If my brother comes again, I will go to the Yanjing government office and make our affairs known to the public."
"You and I are brother and sister, we shouldn't have such thoughts."
"No!" Su Yanqiu suddenly became anxious.
"You are not my sister. You are not a biological child of the Su family. You are..."
Su Yanqiu's words stopped abruptly. Su Yuheng curled her lips slightly, feeling ironic as she watched him look so crazy.
In her previous life, how her good brother severed the meridians in her limbs, and how he sent her to the King of Qi again and again.
This life is retribution.
"Mother said that you and I are biological siblings. If you really want to marry me, you should go to the Yanjing government office and clarify my identity. Otherwise, we will be incestuous. You will be imprisoned, and I will be drowned in a pond."
"Heng'er, please believe me." Su Yanqiu begged, "You and I are not biological siblings."
Su Yuheng curled his lips slightly, "Since you are not biological siblings, then come with me to the front hall of the Su family and personally draw blood to recognize your relationship in front of everyone in the Su family."
After those cold words fell, Su Yanqiu's brows suddenly darkened.
Of course he couldn't, he couldn't expose Su Yuheng's identity, otherwise the Su family would be finished.
"Why, brother can't do it?"
"Or is it that everything my brother said is a lie?"
The girl's cold voice fell, and she turned and went into the side room.
"Mo Yu, do you think she has fallen in love with someone else? Why?"
"I always feel that Heng'er has changed. She is no longer gentle to me and no longer calls me brother. She has changed."
Mo Yu supported Su Yanqiu and whispered, "Prince, why don't you give up the Fourth Young Lady?"
"But she is my woman. She has given me her innocence. Who will she marry in the future?"
Mo Yu said, "Then we can only wait until the King of Qi ascends the throne, and then the Crown Prince can be with the Fourth Miss."
Su Yanqiu looked at the girl's back as she walked away, and his heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles.
After Su Yuheng entered the side room, Linglong told her what happened in Fangfei Garden.
Su Yuheng frowned: "You said Liu Jinshu stole my handwriting?"
Linglong nodded: "Yes, I saw it myself. Liu Jinshu broke into the young lady's room in the middle of the night and took away some Buddhist scriptures that the young lady had copied."
"I followed her to her room and saw her copying the young lady's handwriting. After writing a letter, she returned the Buddhist scriptures. She took the letter to the backyard and gave it to a maid in the outer mansion."
Su Yuheng asked: "Do you know which mansion the maid from the outer mansion is from?"
Linglong said, "It's from the Minister of Works' Mansion."
Su Yuheng suddenly realized, Zhang Nanyi.
It seemed that she had a conflict with Princess Chaoyang at the flower viewing banquet, and she felt hatred towards her.
"Where did the last letter go?"
Linglong said, "It's in the hands of the maid at Prince Ming's mansion."
Su Yuheng raised the corner of his lips in a happy arc, and whispered: "It's okay, let her steal, the more the better."
Ever since she was reborn, she no longer uses her own handwriting, but instead uses other people's handwriting.
Su Yuheng glanced at the Buddhist scriptures on the table and said to the maid Bai Lu: "Go and burn these Buddhist scriptures."
Bai Lu nodded: "Yes, Miss."
Soon, the Buddhist scriptures were burned to ashes. The two maids opened the windows and it took a long time for the smell to dissipate.
At nightfall, Liu Jinshu came to Su Yuheng's room.
Ever since he met Yun Yi at Princess Chaoyang's Mansion last time, Liu Jinshu has been very concerned about Su Yuheng's makeup, and today he came to her house with a shameless face.
"Cousin, my aunt asked Jinshu to stay with you for a few days to learn some etiquette."
Su Yuheng looked at the girl in pink who came in, his eyes fell on the cloud-embroidered hairpin on her head, and an idea came to his mind.
Su Yuhuan was indeed afraid that the matter would be exposed.
Even the hairpin given to her was exactly the same as Liu Jinshu's.
"Isn't your elder sister back? Just follow her and learn some etiquette."
Liu Jinshu quickly said, "My cousin is busy with the marriage of the Prince of Huainan, so how can she take care of Jinshu?"
"Cousin, it was Jinshu who offended you before. Could you please not be angry with Jinshu?"
"Please let Jinshu stay by your side for the next few days and learn some Beijing etiquette."
Su Yuheng glanced at her for a moment and said, "Since Sister Jinshu wants to learn, I will teach you."
"After all, the Emperor's birthday is coming up in a few days, and then there's my eldest sister's wedding, so basic etiquette is required for all of these."
"But it's not enough to just teach you etiquette."
Su Yuheng helped Liu Jinshu sit in front of the bronze mirror, took off the cloud-embroidered hairpin on her head, and placed it together with his own hairpin.
"I'll teach you some makeup and hairstyles today. It'll be better than being laughed at by other noble ladies at the Emperor's birthday banquet."
"After all, your current makeup and hair style are totally unbearable."
As Su Yuheng spoke, she personally combed Liu Jinshu's hair into a bun and inserted the cloud-embroidered hairpin that Su Yuhuan had given her into Liu Jinshu's head.
He also patiently taught her how to comb her hair and how to draw.
