"But what happened?"
Yu Fengzhu couldn't help but feel a little confused. Su Li had originally told him that her plan would not start until two months later. At that time, he only needed to do as she said. She didn't want to suddenly move it forward so much time.
Su Li told the truth: "Today, Princess Rongfu attacked me..."
After hearing this, hatred flashed in Yu Fengzhu's eyes. He had already experienced Princess Rongfu's cruelty.
Yu Fengzhu's original name was Yu Fengyan, and he was the son of the prefect of Baishan.
Five years ago, a major flood occurred in the area under the jurisdiction of his father Yu Zhongyuan.
Houses in many counties and towns were damaged, and the crops planted in the fields were all submerged, leaving no harvest. The people were displaced and unable to get enough food. The imperial court quickly allocated disaster relief funds at that time.
However, this disaster relief money was taken over by the lucky star Princess Rongfu of the Jin Dynasty and colluded with officials along the way who embezzled it. When it finally came into the hands of Yu Zhongyuan, there was very little of it left.
Despite the coercion and inducement from Princess Rongfu and her gang, Yu Zhongyuan was still unwilling to go along with the evil and even wanted to report it to the emperor.
How could Princess Rongfu and her group do what he wants? They all set up a trap to frame him...
Afterwards, Yu Zhongyuan was sentenced to beheading for embezzling disaster relief funds, and his family was exiled.
Knowing that the other party is vicious, he will definitely wipe out the roots. At the critical moment, Yu Zhongyuan replaces his eldest son Yu Fengyan with another in order to seek a glimmer of hope.
Sure enough, during his exile, all his family members "died of illness"...
Yu Fengzhu stood up and bowed, saying solemnly: "Madam, don't worry. As long as I can clear my father's grievances, I will obey your arrangements in everything..."
Su Li nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your trust, Master Yu..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the third son came hurriedly to report: "Madam, Mr. Xiao from the Qingping Marquis's Mansion has come here angrily with several servants."
Xiao Sanzi glanced at Yu Fengzhu and continued, "He said that his servant saw Master Yu entering our house and threatened that Madam should hand Master Yu over immediately, otherwise, don't blame him for being rude."
"oh?"
Su Li couldn't help but sneer. Not only did he rob people openly, but he even robbed them right in front of her: "How lawless! Little Sanzi, let him in. I want to see how rude he is..."
"Madam," Yu Fengzhu hurriedly stopped him, "Don't offend the Qingping Marquis's Mansion and Concubine Xiao for my sake. Xiao Shaokun wants me, and as long as I'm not here, he can't do anything. I'll leave through the back door later..."
The third son said directly, "Madam, Zhichang just told me that Mr. Xiao's men have been waiting at the back door for a long time."
Once Yu Fengzhu went out from the back door, he fell into Xiao Shaokun's hands.
Yu Fengzhu's face turned grim. He knew Su Li could protect him, but he really didn't want to cause her to be hated by the Xiao family. He said firmly, "Madam, I can climb out of the wall..."
Su Li knew that he didn't want to involve her. Seeing his firm attitude, she sighed and ordered: "Xiao Wu, ask Zhi Chang to take Master Yu out and then escort him back to the dance hall."
She wasn't actually afraid of offending the Xiao family. It should be said that it wasn't that she wasn't afraid, but she knew clearly that even if she offended the Xiao family, even if the Xiao family, or Concubine Xiao, held a grudge against her, they wouldn't be able to do anything to her...
"Yes, ma'am." Xiaowu responded.
Yu Fengzhu breathed a sigh of relief: "Sorry to bother you, Madam. I'll take my leave..."
After bowing, he followed Xiaowu out.
After waiting for a while, thinking that Yu Fengzhu should have left by now, he said, "Let Xiao Shaokun come in..."
"yes."
Xiao Sanzi turned around and walked out the door.
After a while, Xiao Wu came in: "Madam, the person has left and has not been found."
Su Li nodded to show that she understood. After a while, Xiao Shaokun walked into the main hall with a menacing look.
He was already furious when the servants who had followed him were stopped outside the inner courtyard by Zhitang and were not allowed to enter.
Now that he didn't see Yu Fengzhu, he was even more furious and asked Su Li in a stern voice, "Where is Yu Fengzhu? Where did you hide him?"
His men followed him from a distance all the way and saw with their own eyes that he entered the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion and never came out. If he was not hidden by this woman, where else could he have gone? The back door was always guarded by his men.
Su Li sat firmly in the armchair at the head of the table, showing no intention of getting up. She pretended to be puzzled: "I wonder if the Yu Feng Zhu that Second Master Xiao was talking about is the Yu Feng Zhu from the Moon Dance Hall?"
"Who else could it be but him? Where is he? Hand him over to me while I'm at it!"
Su Li curled her lips, refusing to admit it: "Yu Fengzhu is an entertainer in the dance hall. If Mr. Xiao wants to find someone, shouldn't he go to the dance hall?"
"Bah!" Xiao Shaokun didn't believe it at all. "Stop pretending here with me. My people saw him come in with their own eyes. If you don't hand him over, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Ha!" Su Li sneered, not afraid at all. "I want to see how you plan to be rude."
"Why are you not polite?" Xiao Shaokun said with a lewd smile, "Don't think I don't know. Yu Fengzhu came here in the middle of the night just to have a secret meeting with you, didn't she? Tsk tsk, Lord Pei just left the capital, and you're already so impatient. But who wouldn't like Yu Fengzhu's look? I understand. As long as you hand him over, I won't hold him responsible, and I won't tell the Duke's Mansion about your secret affair with him. Otherwise..."
After saying this, he laughed threateningly.
Xiao Wu was furious and shouted angrily, "Shut up! How dare you, a shameless person who speaks so foul language, frame my wife!"
"Hehe..." Xiao Shaokun has always been thick-skinned. To him, such scolding is like tickling. He doesn't care at all and just stares at Su Li.
Women value their reputation the most, especially a woman like Su Li who is about to become a lady of a noble family. She is even more afraid of any loss of reputation. He is not afraid that she will not hand over the Jade Wind Bamboo.
However, he was just deceiving her now. Once she handed over the person, he would never let her go easily!
No one who dared to oppose him survived...
Su Li was not angry at all. This kind of scumbag has no bottom line in his words. If he cared about it, he would be the one who was angry.
She smiled faintly and said, "Second Master Xiao keeps saying that I have an affair with Yu Fengzhu. I'd like to ask, what evidence do you have? Without any evidence, do you think the Duke's Mansion will believe me, or you, a playboy who doesn't do his job properly?"
"Okay!" Xiao Shaokun didn't expect that she was not afraid of threatening him with her reputation, and he was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
"So you're relying on the Duke of Ji's Mansion to go against me? You ignorant woman, do you think the Duke's Mansion is so great? Do you know who my eldest sister is? She is the most favored concubine in the palace. Her eldest son, Prince Ning, my eldest nephew, will be the emperor in the future. Compared to the emperor, what is the Duke's Mansion? If you dare to go against me, I will definitely not forgive you! I will not forgive the Duke of Ji's Mansion either!"
