Chapter 463: The Cunning Father
Qin Shiliu had a bitter face, sweat on his head, and begged for mercy: "Girl, let me go, I... I don't dare anymore..."
Su Zi had a fearless look on his face: "No! The girl has done me a favor, I won't let you go even if I ask you to kill me!"
At this time, Su Qianqian had already climbed up the wall and was about to call Jiang Baipin, when she saw Jiang Baipin sitting under the wisteria trellis in the yard, drinking tea and looking up at her leisurely.
"Hey, you clearly heard me speaking so loudly, why didn't you say anything?" Su Qianqian was so tired that she was panting.
"Wait for you to get out of the wall." Jiang Bai raised his eyebrows.
"You're dreaming!" Qin Shisan glared at Jiang Baipin.
"Stop arguing. I have something to ask of Mingyue Tower. This is a big deal. If you want to discuss it, come over here quickly."
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, she climbed down the ladder carefully. As soon as she stepped on the ground and looked up, she saw Jiang Baipin looking at her with his hands behind his back, smiling.
She was a little suspicious that she had walked into the wrong yard, but when she saw Su Zi still holding Qin Shiliu's arm tightly, she felt relieved.
"Miss Su, please ask this girl to let me go..." Qin Shiliu begged.
"He got the advantage but he still acts like a good kid... Suzi, please forgive him."
"Hey!" Su Zi agreed readily, let go of Qin Shiliu's arm, and looked proud.
Jiang Baipin followed Su Qianqian into the small study. Su Mu and Su Zi immediately watched outside the door, not allowing other servants to approach.
"Master Jiang, I have a few things I want to entrust to Mingyue Tower. First, please find the person who is good at using the Qiankun Poison. This person is already in Xijing or has been to Xijing before. After catching him, imprison him until I want to use him. I will bear the necessary expenses."
"The second thing is to deliver this to the Ministry of Justice just in time for the opening of the office, but without being discovered by the guards."
Su Qianqian took out a box from the shelf next to her and handed it to Jiang Baipin.
Jiang Baipin found that the box was not sealed and was a little surprised: "What is it? Aren't you afraid of me seeing it?"
"I'm not afraid of the officers looking at it, so why should I be afraid of you? There is evidence inside that can exonerate Duke Zhou. This matter must be passed through the hands of the guards to Lord Yin before it can be made public."
Su Qianqian thought about it and took out a jade pendant and a letter.
This jade pendant belongs to Qin Hanzhang. Every child in the Qin family has a jade pendant engraved with their name. The jade materials are the same, except that Jian Qingluan's piece has not been engraved yet.
"Please help me deliver this jade pendant and the letter to Daliang and give them to Jian Qingluan, the daughter of General Jian Hong."
Jiang Baipin nodded. He had already learned from Jiang Fan that Jian Qingluan might be the lost daughter of the Qin family.
"One last thing. I want to ask Mingyue Tower to escort the Qin family. I don't know where to go or how long it will take. Of course, you can refuse because it goes against the rules of your Mingyue Tower."
Su Qianqian said frankly.
Jiang Baipin sighed: "I'm already on your pirate ship, do I have any choice? And Big Brother won't refuse."
"Okay, thank you, Young Master Jiang. As for the money, just name your price. I won't bargain this time." Su Qianqian said sincerely.
"I'll tell you the exact amount of silver I want. You won't suffer any loss. We still have so many brothers to support in Mingyue Tower."
Jiang Bai raised his eyebrows frequently, and the red teardrop mole on his face became more charming as it raised upwards.
After discussing the serious business, Jiang Baipin became a rogue, yelling that his chef's cooking skills were poor and he had not had enough to eat for several days, so he insisted on having dinner at Su Qianqian's place.
The next day, Su Qianqian went to the Ministry of Justice, and as expected, Lord Yin told her that the Qin family had been convicted, but was only sentenced to exile. The entire family, including men, women, and children, were exiled to Huizhou, 2,000 miles away, and would leave in two days.
Another thing was that a wooden box was received at the gate of the yamen. The guards found that it contained some manuscripts and calligraphy, but they didn't know what they were used for. It was not until they found the minister that they learned that they were the calligraphy of Jian Hong, the general of Daliang.
The assistant minister did not dare to delay and quickly delivered it to Lord Yin. Lord Yin asked someone to identify the seal and font, and calculated the time based on the paper, and confirmed that it was indeed written by Jian Hong.
Lord Yin then took Jian Hong's manuscript and compared it with the handwriting in the letter in the case of Duke Zhou. The fonts were completely different, proving that Duke Zhou was wrongly accused.
When Lord Yin said this, he saw that Su Qianqian was not surprised at all, and then he realized something was wrong: "It's you?"
"It's me." Su Qianqian nodded.
"What will you do if the Wuning Marquisate is exiled?" Lord Yin asked.
"The Qin family is under my protection. I will do my best to protect them before I allow them to be bullied." Su Qianqian smiled.
[I may not be kind, fair, selfless and fearless, but that does not stop me from respecting and protecting such people. 】Su Qianqian said in her heart.
Lord Yin nodded and sighed: "How could Master Su have such a virtue to have someone like you... If you were a man, you would be recorded in the history of the Great Qi."
"Uncle, you're joking...Why can only men be recorded in history?" Su Qianqian smiled slyly.
The next day, Su Qianqian returned to the Su Mansion.
Without Zhang, even if everyone knew that Su Qianqian and Marquis Wuning had divorced, no one dared to say anything, and the second and third wives even came out to greet them warmly.
Su Qianqian said a few words to them, then followed Su Runhe to the study to meet Master Su.
Tutor Su asked Su Runhe to go down first and talk to Su Qianqian alone.
"What did you discuss with the Queen and the Crown Prince?" Tutor Su sat down and said calmly.
Su Qianqian was stunned for a moment: "Father, how did you know?"
[He is indeed very cunning. He can even see this!] If the emperor also has this vision... then we're screwed, he will take the opportunity to get rid of us all! 】
The corner of Su Taifu's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he cursed in his heart: Rebellious girl, is your father's wisdom not as good as yours?
"I heard that after you entered the palace, the Queen invited you to the Prince's Eastern Palace. You are already married and will not be chosen as the Crown Princess. What does the Crown Prince need you to do?"
Master Su glanced at his daughter and took the opportunity to take revenge.
[It’s so heartbreaking... Are you my real father?!] What's wrong with me just wanting to have sex with the prince for free? It's the kind of spiritual ambiguity...] Su Qianqian was not convinced.
"Father is wise! The prince was poisoned, and I found out where the poison came from and cured him.
The daughter discussed with the Empress and the Crown Prince and decided to pretend to be poisoned to lure the snake out of its hole. When the snake thought that the crown prince was a cripple and revealed his true identity, they would kill him in one fell swoop. ”
"Humph, so Wuning Marquis Mansion was also part of the plan, but you didn't expect that Qin Hanzhang had already discovered something was wrong, and in order to protect you and divorce you, he made you come to me for help."
Master Su sat in the armchair, analyzing Su Qianqian's plans and mistakes.
[You are indeed my biological father!] 】Su Qianqian had to admit it.
"That's right, father. We should have discussed it with Qin Hanzhang and left some people behind to provide support. We should have made some arrangements in the capital so that when chaos really breaks out, we can coordinate with the Queen and the Crown Prince." Su Qianqian nodded in acknowledgment.
