Chapter 51 Someone Wants to Kill Me
After waking up early the next morning, Su Ying first sat cross-legged and circulated her qi for a circle before opening her eyes. She prepared to find water to wash up and then follow the officials into the city.
But as soon as she stood up, she saw Lin Zhuyu standing behind her timidly and almost bumping into her.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Zhuyu was startled and looked at Su Ying in panic, "No, nothing."
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. Looking at her expression, if anyone really believed her words, she would be a fool.
Su Ying grabbed her collar and took her aside, looking at her coldly, "Lin Zhuyu, I'll give you a chance to save your head. Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Lin Zhuyu hugged her head in fear and said, "Madam, please spare my life. I would never dare to have any bad thoughts towards you and the master. Yes, someone wants to kill me."
Su Ying looked at her frightened eyes and didn't seem to be lying, "Who, when?"
Lin Zhuyu shook her head. "No, I don't know who it was. It was just last night, after I fell asleep, I suddenly felt someone was looking for something on my body. I was awakened at that moment. When I wanted to scream, the other person covered my mouth and then knocked me unconscious."
Su Ying crossed her arms and glared at her coldly, "Then why didn't you tell me after you woke up?"
Lin Zhuyu said: "When I woke up the next day, I thought I was dreaming, but just now, someone bumped into me." The feeling of approaching death came over her again, and she was sure that she was really attacked last night.
"Madam, you, you must save me."
Compared to Lin Zhuyu's panic and fear, Su Ying said calmly, "What ability do you have that would make someone travel thousands of miles to kill you?"
Lin Zhuyu's face froze, and she hesitated, "I, the maid, don't know either."
Su Ying raised her eyebrows coldly, "If you don't tell the truth, then wait for death." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
Lin Zhuyu rushed forward and hugged her thighs, "Oh, oh, oh, Madam, I'll tell you everything."
Su Ying pulled her foot back from her hand in disgust, "You only have one chance, get out if you're not telling the truth."
"Yes, yes, it's absolutely true."
Lin Zhuyu loosened her hands and took off her embroidered shoes which had already turned black, then reached in and rummaged hard inside. Finally, she pulled out a key and handed it to Su Ying as if she were presenting a treasure.
The veins on Su Ying's forehead twitched, and she almost couldn't resist the urge to kick him.
"What's this?"
"This is the key to the maid's storage room."
There is a storage pavilion in the capital city. There are tens of thousands of cabinets in the attic. Each cabinet is equipped with a special lock and key, and there is only one such key.
Because of this, many people in Beijing would put their things in the storage pavilion. Because people entering the storage pavilion were not allowed to reveal their identities, even the manager of the storage pavilion did not know what was in those drawers.
This kind of confidentiality and security makes many people like to spend a lot of money to put things in the storage room.
"What's hidden in there?"
Lin Zhuyu lowered her voice and said, "All the evidence of the eldest prince's relationship with my father."
"The kind that can convict you?"
Lin Zhuyu nodded, "Yes." She originally wanted to use this key as a final amulet, but she found that her father might have discovered that the thing was stolen by her, and the person last night was most likely her father's man.
So instead of keeping the key with her and bringing danger to herself, it would be better to give it to Su Ying. Since following Su Ying, her life has been much better than before. At least she doesn't have to worry about dying on the road at any time.
Su Ying picked up a piece of wild grass from the ground and asked Lin Zhuyu to hang the key on the grass.
"That's your father and your family. If you give this thing to me and Xiao Jin, aren't you afraid that they will die without a burial place?"
Lin Zhuyu sneered, "If they had treated me as a family member, I wouldn't be in this situation today. In their eyes, I am just a concubine who can be used if she can be used, and it doesn't matter if she lives or dies if she is useless."
Su Ying looked at the coldness in her eyes and said, "Did your father send you to Prince Qi's Mansion to monitor Xiao Jin?"
Lin Zhuyu glanced at Su Ying carefully, and seeing that she asked calmly, she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I had no choice. If I didn't go, they would deal with my aunt." But in the end she found that even if she obeyed them, they would still want her aunt's life.
So she found an opportunity to sneak into her father's study, stole such an important thing, and hid it in the storage room for future use.
Su Ying nodded, "Got it. Pay attention to the people around you these few days. If you see that person again, tell me."
"Okay, okay."
Su Ying took the key to the carriage, took out a bottle of disinfectant from her bag and rinsed it back and forth. After making sure it was clean, she took the key to Xiao Jin.
"Lin Zhuyu has the key to the storage pavilion in the capital. She said that there is evidence inside that can convict her father and Xiao Jue."
Xiao Jin looked at the key in her hand with some surprise, "Why did she hand over this last bargaining chip now?"
"She said someone was rummaging through her body last night and she was scared to death, so she gave the things to me."
Su Ying took a piece of rag and wrapped the key, "Do you want to take it?"
Xiao Jin took the key and said, "I'll take it."
Su Ying nodded, then stood up and prepared to go into the city with Li Da.
Li Da saw Su Ying coming and seemed to be accustomed to it. He turned around and asked his colleagues to bring her an official uniform.
"You are getting better and better."
Li Da grinned, and when Su Ying took the official uniform to change, he slapped himself in the face again, "You are useless. She is just a prisoner. Why do you have to smile like you are meeting your ancestor?"
"What did you say?" Su Ying walked back and looked at Li Da strangely.
Li Da's face tightened and he smiled even more happily, "No, nothing."
Su Ying glanced at him and said, "Let's go."
"Oh, okay."
As usual, after Su Ying and Li Da entered the city, they split into two groups.
Su Ying went to the bank to exchange silver as soon as possible, but she didn't exchange much and didn't attract anyone's attention.
When she was shopping at a bag shop, if the amount was large, she would just pay with gold.
Su Ying stopped when passing by the livestock market.
She had bought some livestock before and put them in the space, but it was not convenient to take them out directly after arriving in the Northern Wilderness. After thinking about it, she walked into the market. When she came out, she was holding two cows, two sheep and a basket of chickens and ducks in her hands. Finally, when she passed by a car dealership, she pulled out a carriage.
Different from the previous carriage, this time she bought a large carriage pulled by a strong horse. With this horse, they now have three horses. In her opinion, no matter where they go, travel must be convenient, otherwise it will be troublesome to do anything.
When Su Ying led the cattle, sheep and horse-drawn carriage to the city gate, she found that there were only one or two officials pushing a cart waiting there, but there was no sign of Li Da.
The two officers were also very respectful when they saw Su Ying.
"Princess, you bought so many animals."
"Where's that kid Li Da?"
