Su Prefecture, Jizhou
Su Hu looked at Xiao Cui kneeling on the ground, barely daring to breathe, his face grim but he didn't say a word, which made Xiao Cui even more frightened and pale.
Finally, Xiao Cui couldn't help but cautiously whisper, "Lord Su, Miss, she... she really wasn't let go by me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Hu's cold gaze, sharp and piercing, swept over Xiao Cui, and he said:
"Your sister protected her master, refusing to reveal the young lady's whereabouts or the reason for her escape, while you directly shifted the blame to your master. It seems that compared to your sister, you are the most foolish and inferior one! It looks like you also need to be taught a lesson!"
Xiao Cui's face turned pale, and she burst into tears, "Lord Su, please, please don't marry me off to a beggar! I really didn't know Miss Su had run away!"
"Useless people should be put to good use! Marrying you off will be perfect so you can keep your sister Xiaoping company!" Su Hu's brows were cold.
"No, no! I don't want to marry those beggars, Lord Su, please..." Xiao Cui was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, her forehead immediately becoming red and swollen.
Previously, because Su Xian'er ran away from home, Su Hu, in a fit of anger, sold Xiao Ping to a group of beggars in the south of the city. That group of beggars was not only poor, but also incredibly filthy. One can only imagine what Xiao Ping's life there would be like.
Very few people knew about this, and Xiao Cui, Xiao Ping's younger sister, was one of them.
If Xiaocui were to marry into that family, she would surely go insane in that kind of environment!
Just as Su Hu was about to speak, a guard came to report, "Lord Su, there is an urgent message for you!"
Su Hu took the letter, glanced at its contents, and slammed his fist on the table in anger. "You scoundrel! I married my only daughter to him, and this Marquis of Xibo dares to defy me!"
Seeing Su Hu's unusual anger, the guard lowered his head and dared not utter a word.
Xiao Cui lowered her head with a look of disdain: "You didn't even know your own daughter had run away, and you still went to arrange a marriage? It's shameful!"
After calming down for a moment, Su Hu pondered for a while and then said, "Give the order to go find Miss immediately. Also, instruct all family members to evacuate the Su residence tonight!"
"Yes!" the guard replied and went out. Xiao Cui, being even more clever, took the opportunity to slip away with the guard. By the time Su Hu realized she had left, she had already escaped from the Su residence.
"I never expected that the seemingly saintly Marquis of Xibo would sever ties with me when I needed his help the most... So it seems there's already some activity in Chaoge. I need to find Xian'er quickly before leaving!"
Having made up his mind, Su Hu had already made up his mind. Through his five years of inspections, he had discovered that the Shang dynasty was in great decline.
Since no one dares to step forward and lift the lever, let him be the first!
——
At the same time, when Su Xian'er came out after fixing her makeup, her beautiful face shocked everyone beyond words!
Di Xin stared blankly at Su Xian'er, momentarily forgetting how to speak.
He liked Mu Qing simply because Mu Qing's beauty was alluring, and her eyes were always seductive, making it hard for him to take his eyes off her.
Su Xian'er, on the other hand, is different. Her eyes are clear and her appearance is pure and lovely, giving people the feeling that she is untouchable and that one should cherish her dearly!
Su Xian'er didn't understand the greedy looks in everyone's eyes; instead, she was only thinking about how to get rid of Di Xin's entanglement at this moment, so she spoke up:
“Hey, let’s make this clear beforehand, whether I marry you or not isn’t up to you! You have to get past my father before it counts!” Su Xian’er said, wrinkling her nose.
Di Xin smiled slightly, his face softening with tenderness. He nodded gently and said, "I know what you're thinking, my beauty. Since you're willing to exonerate your father, I will not pursue the matter of your father's plot to rebel!"
Su Xian'er was taken aback and immediately retorted, "What conspiracy to rebel?! My father loves the people like his own children, how could he possibly have any intention of rebelling! You've got it wrong!"
Di Xin smiled and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Since that's the case, he'll know when you meet me face to face!"
Seeing Di Xin's confident gaze, Su Xian'er was momentarily stunned: "Father is plotting a rebellion? That's an absolute joke!"
Di Xin smiled and stepped forward, pinching Su Xian'er's chin as he coldly said, "Don't worry, I'll let him off the hook for your sake! However, if he overestimates himself and refuses your marriage to me, then there's nothing I can do..."
Su Xian'er trembled all over; Di Xin was actually using this matter to threaten her!
Su Xian'er was caught in a dilemma!
Meanwhile, as Gu Liyan was preparing to set off to find Su Xian'er, Bu Yunrui, also known as Ji Fa, arrived at the Xue Lai Inn with a large army.
It was just dawn when I arrived; there were no other guests, and the inn was quiet.
Bu Yunrui surveyed the state of the Xue Lai Inn and couldn't help but sneer, "Bo Yikao, Boyikao, I didn't expect you to be able to hide here for so long in such a shabby place! This time, I'll see how you manage to escape!"
Pushing open the door of the Shelley Inn, a dashing young man in white, wearing a mask, was about to go out. The two brushed past each other as they entered and exited.
Just as they were about to pass each other by and become strangers, they suddenly turned around and stood in front of each other, their eyes meeting—
In Bu Yunrui's eyes, the white-clad youth in front of him exuded a mysterious and dangerous aura, making him feel that he could not hide his ambition from him.
It's been a long time since he's met someone like this.
