select?
It's said to be a choice between two, but in fact there is only one choice.
If they go to the Ministry of Justice, can they survive?
"We are willing to serve the young lady."
Su Qingyu asked Zhenzhu to take Erxi downstairs to sign the indenture contract, leaving only her and Yuetao in the room.
"When does the Marquis go to Shaohua Hall?"
Yue Tao was shocked. The affair between the Marquis and his cousin's wife was the biggest secret of Shaohua Hall. She hadn't intended to tell anyone about it, but after hearing what she said, she realized that the eldest lady already knew about it.
Su Qingyu didn't miss Yue Tao's reaction and sneered, "Don't be so optimistic. I probably know as much as you do. But if you know it but don't tell me, don't blame me for being rude."
At this point, Yue Tao was completely under Su Qingyu's control.
He whispered, "Most of the time the Marquis comes at night and leaves at dawn."
"Shaohua Hall is full of people who are close to my cousin. Not only are our indentures sold, but even our families are controlled by my cousin."
Su Qingyu frowned slightly, "Why are you pinching it?"
Yue Tao said, "My cousin's wife has a book that records in detail the names of everyone in our family, their ages, and what they do."
"That's why the people in Shaohua Hall are usually very cautious and don't dare to reveal any clues outside, for fear of bringing disaster to the family."
Su Qingyu suddenly understood. No wonder her mother had been the housekeeper for so many years and hadn't discovered the affair between her father and Gu Ruoyun. She really had some tricks up her sleeve.
"What else do you know? Tell me everything."
Yue Tao didn't dare to hide it anymore and said whatever came to mind. Although her words were sometimes inconsistent, Su Qingyu could make sense of it.
According to Yue Tao, Su Chengye spent half a month in Shaohua Hall, and the wives and concubines in the mansion simply thought he was staying in the outer courtyard. Su Chengye often gave Gu Ruoyun money as a stipend, and sometimes, if Gu Ruoyun wanted any fashionable jewelry, she would tell him and then claim it was a gift from the old lady.
Gu Ruoyun was determined to become the marquis's wife. Su Chengye had been comforting her before, but in the past year, she obviously didn't want to wait any longer.
Su Qingyu listened quietly until Yue Tao had nothing more to say. Then she asked, "When did the relationship between the Marquis and your cousin's wife begin? Do you know anything about their past?"
Yue Tao shook her head and replied, "I don't know that either, but I vaguely remember that they argued twice. Whenever my cousin-in-law mentioned that incident, the Marquis would stop arguing."
Su Qingyu's eyes flashed.
then?
Could it be that Gu Ruoyun still has some leverage over my father?
After sending Yue Tao away, Su Qingyu sat alone in the side hall and pondered for a long time.
The matter between her father and Gu Ruoyun was still unclear. If she made a scene in public, her father might just marry her.
It would be better to just wait and see. The more Gu Ruoyun wanted to become the Marquis' wife, the more anxious she became, and the more anxious she became, the more likely she would make mistakes.
While her mother was resting and taking care of her pregnancy at the hot spring resort, she took advantage of the three months before her wedding to get rid of Gu Ruoyun and her daughter.
"Miss, Erxi's indenture contract has been signed, and I have put it away." Zhenzhu came in from outside and said softly.
Su Qingyu hummed and stood up. "Call two servants, and let's go get the things from my cousin."
Pearl's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her excitement was beyond words.
She almost trotted into the main room, "Fei Cui, come with me quickly, we're going to get something from my cousin."
Su Qingyu was surrounded by four maids. Pearl and Amber were servants from the mansion, responsible for her daily life. Jade and Agate were gifts from her third cousin to protect her safety.
Pearls are lively and lively, but jade is calm and steady.
He rolled his eyes at her and said, "You don't have to be so excited just to get something. If someone saw us, they'd think we were bullying my cousin."
"It's just to retrieve the young lady's things, it's not worth mobilizing so many people."
Pearl smiled and said, "Yes, Jade is right. It's ours to begin with, so it's only right for us to take it back."
She specially found two strong-looking maids and went to Qingyunxuan with Su Qingyu.
When the four masters and servants entered, Cheng Ruijin was in the room throwing a tantrum. Today's events had caught her off guard, and she was very anxious and disliked everything.
Seeing Su Qingyu come in, he said unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
Su Qingyu stood at the door, her arms folded across her chest, and handed the list in her hand to Zhenzhu. "Look for the items listed here, and don't leave anything out. If anyone tries to stop me, call me directly."
After giving the order, he looked at Cheng Rujin.
"My cousin took something from me and forgot to return it, so I had no choice but to come and ask for it myself."
Cheng Rujin glared at her with eyes wide open. "I didn't take anything from you, yet you dare to search me without any evidence? Did your maid sell it out?"
Su Qingyu sneered and walked to Cheng Ruijin.
Immediately afterwards, two loud slaps were heard, and Cheng Ruijin was slapped twice.
After beating the man, Su Qingyu reached out and pinched Cheng Ruijin's chin, lifted it up slightly, and said in a cold voice.
"If you don't have any shame, I won't have to give you any."
There was a surging undercurrent in his gloomy eyes, and overwhelming hatred surged from the bottom of his heart. He unconsciously tightened his grip on Cheng Ruijin's hand.
Pearl, who was searching for something, suddenly ran out with a red string in her hand. There were seven beads on the string, which were the seven treasures of Buddhism.
"Miss, isn't this what you wore when you were a child? You suddenly lost it last year. How come it's here with my cousin?"
When Cheng Ruijin saw the string of seven-treasure beads, she suddenly became like crazy.
"That's mine, give it back to me."
"Give it to me, it's mine, it has nothing to do with you, give it to me quickly."
