Chapter 319: Disguise, a rare guest has arrived
Ji Qingwu immediately changed his face to a strange one.
Wei Tongyou was so frightened that he took a step back, pointed at her face, and said tremblingly: "You, how did you do it?"
Ji Qingwu's current face is almost indistinguishable from the face of the tall maid lying in the corner.
"Come here."
Ji Qingwu waved at her.
Wei Tongyou paused for a moment, then moved closer carefully and expectantly.
Two soft hands rubbed her cheeks back and forth, and this time the effort took longer than the time Ji Qingwu spent on disguising himself.
Ji Qingwu tapped her cheek with his finger: "Okay."
Wei Tongyou looked at her reflection in the water tank beside her and found that her appearance became the same as that of the short maid.
She confirmed it several times, staring at Ji Qingwu's clean and fair hands in amazement.
"You have nothing in your hand, so you just need to squeeze it like this?"
Ji Qingwu had an unfathomable look on his face.
She would not tell Wei Tongyou that in fact she didn’t even need to pinch, just make a gesture.
But not saying too much and keeping a secret is the best way to avoid exposing yourself.
Ji Qingwu pointed at the soup simmering on the stove and said, "Nong Ying, take the soup pot and let's go back to the master's yard."
Who is Nong Ying? Wei Tongyou had not yet adapted to her new identity, and it took her a while to realize that someone was calling her.
She asked the question: "Shouldn't we go to Aunt Mrs. Song's residence first?" Aren't they here to return the relics to Su Daiyue's biological mother?
Ji Qingwu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know where it is?"
Wei Tongyou shook her head.
"If you don't know, just follow me."
Ji Qingwu pushed open the kitchen door and carefully locked it to prevent anyone from discovering the two maids in the kitchen.
She still had the crescent-shaped key in her sleeve pocket, hoping it would come in handy tonight.
Late at night.
The Su Mansion was completely silent. The only sounds that could be heard were the wind shaking the leaves, the chirping of insects in the grass, and the occasional flapping of bird wings.
The layout of the prime minister's residence is different from that of ordinary homes, with the front and back yards separated by a large distance.
Only Su Fengyue's courtyard was in the front, while the women and servants all lived in the backyard.
Ji Qingwu and her friends didn't meet anyone along the way and reached the front yard extremely smoothly.
The shadows of the trees were thick at night. Under the wall separating the backyard and the front hall, two figures floated down from the tree and landed lightly in front of one person.
Sanchuan and Sihai knelt respectfully and whispered, "Master."
The man was wearing the coarse grey clothes of a farmhand in the mansion. His appearance had also changed. He had thick eyebrows, small eyes, and a flat and broad face. He looked like a simple and honest passerby.
But the voice still carried the same coldness as before.
"When did you come?"
Sanchuan Sihai knew that this was a specially made human skin mask, and they would also wear it when doing things in the daytime.
Facing the emperor's question, Sihai dared not say a word. Sanchuan said, "At 11:30 pm, Miss Ji brought the fourteenth young lady from the Wei family with her."
It was three quarters past midnight, not much later than his time.
Zhao Mingyan asked, "What is she doing here?"
"Lord Su's daughter passed away. Before she died, she entrusted a hairpin to Miss Ji, intending to pass it on to her aunt, but in fact..."
Sanchuan was rarely hesitant.
Si Hai said with a tense face: "I want to send Miss Ji to Prime Minister Su."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in front of him made a snapping sound with his finger bones, and the two secret guards felt their throats tighten.
There was silence for a while, then Zhao Mingyan asked, "Where is she?"
Sanchuan said, "He went to Lord Su's yard."
Su Fengyue's young daughter passed away. In the afternoon, Song Wei delivered the news to the palace and informed his father-in-law. However, in order to show his loyalty to the country by sacrificing his own family, Prime Minister Su shed tears in his old eyes and sighed as he handled the government affairs in his hands.
Lu Juan, who was in the room, felt uncomfortable all over when he saw this, and he clenched his fists as he passed by Su Fengyue's back.
Under the persuasion of the ministers, Su Fengyue went to the Song family in the evening and has not returned to the mansion yet.
It also made it convenient for the emperor to visit at night.
Just now, Zhao Mingyan had searched Su Fengyue's house and study, but did not find anything suspicious.
No one knows where the evidence of Su Fengyue, this old fox, colluding with Xi Jin is hidden.
Zhao Mingyan was about to go to the backyard to investigate when he unexpectedly discovered two secret guards hiding in a tree.
When he saw them, he naturally knew that Ji Qingwu was also here.
There was no time to waste, so Zhao Mingyan ordered, "You two go to the backyard and check if there are any suspicious letters."
Sihai didn't understand: "Then, then Miss Ji..." Their main task was to protect Ji Qingwu.
"I'll take my leave."
Sanchuan grabbed Sihai's arm and pulled him away. The two of them flew onto the roof and walked lightly on the tiles.
"Miss Ji is naturally protected by her master, so you don't need to worry about it."
Si Hai whispered, "How can we let the master protect her? The master is worth a million dollars."
Sanchuan kept walking and said, "Don't you understand yet? Don't interfere in the decisions made by the master, and don't talk behind his back."
Sihai asked, "What do you understand?"
Sanchuan sighed and said, "Forget it, you are young and I can't explain it to you clearly."
Si Hai Dao: "You will understand now. Tell me, have you had any problems recently..."

Song Mansion.
Song Wei was like a walking corpse, kneeling in the mourning hall with a heavy wooden coffin beside him.
Before Su Fengyue came, the housekeeper was in charge.
Su Fengyue stood at the entrance of the mourning hall with his eyes lowered, surrounded by many officials.
He consoled her, "Prime Minister Su, accept my condolences."
An official with a white beard said with tears in his eyes: "Prime Minister Su, I am very sorry for your loss. I still remember that Dai Yue was your most favored daughter. I didn't expect that things have changed and you have to send her off when she was young."
The corners of Su Fengyue's mouth trembled, and he said, "Thank you, Lord Liu, for remembering my daughter."
"Lord Su, please take care of yourself and don't be too sad."
Many people came to pay their respects.
Many of them came for Su Fengyue's sake. The scene did not have the expected mournful atmosphere. Instead, it became a place for some officials to bond with each other.
Several people gathered together to discuss something.
But there are also rare visitors.
For example, Prince Yong closed the door of his mansion and refused to see visitors after learning that Emperor Wu Su was seriously injured and unconscious.
When everyone saw Zhao Minghong striding in with someone, they all stopped talking.
Zhao Minghong walked into the mourning hall and Song Wei was still sitting beside the coffin.
When Su Fengyue saw the person coming, he was surprised and bowed, saying, "This old minister greets His Majesty."
Zhao Minghong said: "Please excuse me, my lords. I have come here with my princess to pay my respects to Prime Minister Su's beloved daughter."
Prince Yong and Su Fengyue have never had much contact.
Princess Yong, Tao Wanyin, was the daughter of Tao Changhai. In the court, Lord Tao and Prime Minister Su had different political views, and everyone knew that they had a bad relationship.
Everyone is wondering why Prince Yong and his wife came here today...
