No one paid any attention to Su's mother's anger. After all the servants had run away, the officers and soldiers had almost finished collecting everything and left carrying boxes of gold and silver.
Mother Su felt her heart bleed as she watched those things being carried away.
It was not until the gate of the Su Mansion was sealed and there was dead silence in front of the door that Su's father and mother turned around and left dejectedly.
However, in this huge Nanyang city, the two of them couldn't find anywhere to go for a while.
The two of them walked aimlessly on the street, not knowing where to go.
"Master, where are we going?"
Su's mother finally couldn't help but ask.
Father Su thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of anywhere else to go.
All those farms and fields had been taken away, and he had no house or land left.
Su's father was silent for a long time. Seeing this, Su's mother sighed and said, "There is a dilapidated temple in the east of the city. Why don't we go there to make do? It's so cold in this icy and snowy place without a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
The two of them had no money on them, and their jewelry had all been taken away. It was impossible for them to stay in an inn, so they could only find a place that could shelter them from the wind and rain.
Su's mother was unwilling, but had no choice. She was the prime minister's wife, so when had she ever been so miserable?
"Go to Liu Min's house."
Father Su finally spoke.
Liu Min will surely not ignore the student he promoted.
When Mother Su heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said hurriedly, "That's right! I never thought of this. Liu Min has always respected you and will surely not sit idly by and watch us."
The two of them headed towards the Liu family. At this time, under the corner of the wall in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Qinglin came out from the dog hole in the corner with a bundle in his arms.
The dog hole was covered by some weeds and could not be seen unless you looked carefully.
When the soldiers came to search the house, Su Qinglin hurriedly packed up all the silver and banknotes in the house, then went to his mother's room and packed up most of the jewelry. He was very quick and not greedy, he just took some and left, so he was not discovered.
The dog hole under the corner of the backyard wall had been there since he was a child. As time went by, weeds grew more and more, and the dog hole was gradually covered. Gradually, not many people knew that there was a dog hole here, and only Su Qinglin always remembered it.
After Su Qinglin climbed out, he looked around carefully. Seeing that there was no one there, he carefully stood up and ran away holding the package.
He had to settle all the money first before he could go look for his father and mother. Money was the most important thing to them now.
Without these things, they might even have trouble living in the future.
Su Qinglin was busy managing the money he brought with him and had no time to look for his father and mother.
At this time, Su's father and mother had already arrived at the door of Liu's house. After the servants went to inform them, they were told that the master was not at home.
As soon as Father Su heard this, he knew this was an excuse, and his face turned very ugly. He didn't expect that even his most valued student would treat him like this.
Su's father had a cold face and said nothing, but Su's mother was so angry that she cursed loudly.
"You don't want to go home? You don't want to see us? You are such an ungrateful person, Liu Min, have you forgotten what your mentor did to you? You are so heartless now, has your conscience been eaten by a dog? You are such an ungrateful person, you have read so many books but they have all gone to waste!"
Su's mother was so angry that she couldn't calm down. She wanted to continue cursing, but was stopped by Su's father.
"Forget it, if you don't want to see me, then don't see me. Let's go!"
Father Su also seemed to have aged suddenly, and his voice was full of sadness.
Su's mother was very unconvinced and wanted to curse, but was stopped by Su's father.
He didn't want to embarrass himself any more, so he sternly scolded, "No matter what, don't be like a street shrew, annoying people and making them talk about you. Keep your dignity to the end!"
Su's mother was helpless. She was going to sleep on the streets anyway, so what was the point of maintaining her dignity?
Since even his most proud student ignored them, Su's father gave up the idea of looking for someone else and took Su's mother with him to the dilapidated temple in the east of the city.
Qingli asked someone to monitor the whereabouts of the two and report to her at any time.
Qingli smiled when she learned that the two of them had gone to stay in a dilapidated temple.
Then he instructed his subordinates: "Let them suffer for a while, and don't let Su Qinglin find them first."
The subordinate immediately agreed and then left.
"Your Highness, tomorrow is the day when the envoys of the two countries will come to the palace for a banquet. His Majesty said that you will attend with them. Please try on the clothes sent by the Clothing Bureau first. If there is anything that does not fit, the people below will modify it."
The palace maid came in carrying a luxurious dress and spoke respectfully to Qingli.
Qingli nodded and asked someone to help her change her clothes and try them on.
The dress is very gorgeous, and it really makes you look noble when you put it on.
Qingli was a little uncomfortable, but didn't say anything.
After trying on clothes, Nangong Yan finally had time to come back.
"Ali, after the envoys from the two countries leave in a few days, we will set out to look for the child."
Nangong Yan has been busy these days, not only to receive the envoys from the two countries, but also to finish all the important matters as soon as possible so that he can accompany Qingli to find the child.
Qingli said: "Since the children are fine, we don't have to worry too much. In fact, I can go find them myself. After all, you are the king of a country. It would be bad if you rashly leave your own country."
Qingli had said this before, but Nangong Yan didn't agree.
In fact, Nangong Yan had too many things to deal with, and Qingli didn't want to affect him.
Hearing Qingli say this again, Nangong Yan was a little angry and said, "Ali, you are not trying to sneak away, are you? You repeatedly stopped me from going with you."
His deep eyes were full of doubt and uneasiness, and he stared at Qingli without blinking, as if he was really afraid that she would run away.
Qingli smiled helplessly, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm already married to you, why are you running away? Stop imagining nonsense."
Nangong Yan felt relieved when he saw that she really had no intention of running away.
"No matter what, I will go with you to find the child. You can't leave me here alone."
Qingli could only nod, "Okay, as long as you can arrange things well, I'll do whatever you want."
After the two talked for a while, Nangong Yan went back to work.
On the second day, the palace was bustling with activity, as envoys from both countries brought gifts into the palace.
Qingli and Nangong Yan attended the banquet together. There were a total of sixteen people from Xia Kingdom and twenty from Bei Kingdom. However, there were only two or three representatives, and not many came to the palace. The rest went to the post station to rest.
The representatives from the Xia Kingdom were the royal family, Prince Zhao, the Sixth Prince Mo Ting, and General Dingyuan Xue Mufei.
The representatives of the Northern Kingdom were the royal family's eldest prince Wumur, the fifth princess Wulingyu, and the great general Lan Xu.
In the hall, after the envoys of the two countries introduced themselves, everyone took their seats.
King Zhao said, "Your Majesty, we have brought you a gift today. Would you like to take a look at it first?"
Nangong Yan nodded and cooperated with a curious look, "I don't know what the gift is, I am curious."
King Zhao made a gesture and several people came in carrying boxes. Behind them, more people came in one after another, carrying five boxes in total.
King Zhao stepped forward and opened the box himself.
Everyone looked at it curiously.
The box did not contain any gold, silver or jewelry, but some agricultural products and medicinal materials.
Upon seeing this, everyone looked at King Zhao in confusion, not understanding why he presented such unpresentable things.
Nangong Yan and Qingli also looked at him in confusion.
King Zhao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, these are the agricultural products and medicinal herbs that our Xia Kingdom has harvested year round. With these, our Xia Kingdom can become rich and strong. The Minister of Agriculture has tested them and found that these can be planted in large quantities in the territory of the Southern Kingdom. Compared with the Xia Kingdom, they are more suitable for the land and climate of the Southern Kingdom. I came here this time to present these to the Southern Kingdom."
Hearing this, all the ministers were very excited. If this were the case, the people's lives would be better.
Nangong Yan asked: "Since Xia Kingdom is like this, does it have any requests?"
It is impossible for others to give them such a good thing for no reason. Nangong Yan understood this in his heart and asked directly.
