Chapter 373 Encounter 1
Su Yanli finally got away from the case and removed the emperor's displeasure, but when he returned home and sat in the study with his daughter, his mood became heavy instead, "The capital city is really not a place."
If he had taken over this case in the local area, he would have tried both the case of prostitution and the case of property. However, the sophisticated officials in the capital never dug deep into the case. They only looked at what they saw at the time of the trial and would not touch anything that could be left untouched. Could it be that the Dali Temple Secretary and others could not find out the truth behind this case? It was just that they did not want to take care of it.
Su Ruojin also sighed, "Dad, since you have taken over the position, you should do your best, live up to your conscience, and do practical things for the people to the best of your ability."
That's all I can do.
The father and daughter sat under the lamp and talked for a long time. At the end of the conversation, Su Yanli felt relieved and told his daughter not to worry, "Just enjoy your time at your mother's house. When you start a family in the future, you won't be so free."
"Dad is right." Su Ruojin smiled and stood up. "It's getting late. Dad, go to bed early. I'll go back to the courtyard and sleep too."
Su Yanli nodded. He was reluctant to let his daughter go as he had less and less time to spend with her. He stood up and sent her to the entrance of the Moon Cave. "Go to bed early. It doesn't matter if you get up late tomorrow."
"Okay, Dad, you should rest early too."
The next day, Zhao Lan came to accompany Su Ruojin again and took her out for dinner and shopping.
Su Ruojin felt a little embarrassed for bothering him all the time: "Will it affect your official duties?"
Zhao Lan said, "Everyone understands the trivialities of marriage, and His Majesty will also understand."
Under the guise of getting married, the two went out together for shopping and sightseeing.
When Su Xiaomei saw that her future brother-in-law didn't take her with him, she pouted and said, "Mother, the young prince has kidnapped me again."
"Don't talk nonsense." Cheng Yingzhen glared at her little daughter.
"No way." Su Xiaomei thought to herself, I'm not a child, Dad's problems have been solved, I'm just going out to play.
"They went out for something." He used both deception and coaxing to bring his little daughter back home.
In early September, the weather turned cooler, and Zhao Lan took Su Ruojin to a hot pot restaurant. As soon as they got off the carriage, they met Shangguan Yu's family of three at the door.
Shangyu was also delighted to see Zhao and Su, "Ah He, come over here and pay your respects."
The little boy Shangguan Suihe came over and saluted like a little adult, "Ah He greets brother Jun Wang and sister A Jin."
"Xiao A is back." Su Ruojin was so happy that she bent down and picked up the little bean. "Why are you so cute?"
Shangguan Yu bowed to Zhao Lan and said, "Greetings, young prince."
The hotpot restaurant is Zhao Lan's business. Zhao Lan acted as the host and invited Shangguan Yu to go to the Tianzi private room to eat hotpot.
After chatting for a while, Su Ruojin learned that Zhong Wanhui rarely came back, and Madam Ning was reluctant to let her daughter go back, so she used the marriage of Zhao Lan and Su Ruojin to keep the family of three here, and wait until Zhao Lan got married in October before going back.
"I've heard that the hotpot at Wensheng Restaurant is delicious, so I brought Ah Hui and Ah He over to try it."
They were all acquaintances, and there were cute little kids too. Everyone was eating happily. Halfway through the meal, a servant stood at the door and said, "Shuang Steward, Prince Yingnan and his wife heard that the master was having dinner here, so they wanted to come over and say hello. What do you think..."
Zhao Lan glanced at Su Ruojin.
When Zhong Wanhui heard that an unfamiliar person was coming, she immediately nervously grabbed Shangguan Yu's sleeve and wanted to leave.
Shuang Rui glanced at his master and immediately said to the servant at the door, "Immediately give the Prince of Yingnan and his wife the best private room."
"Yes, it's a double responsibility." The servant withdrew.
