Chapter 155: Less to put gold on one’s own face

Wu sent Zhao Su’s master and servant out the door and let out a faint breath under the setting sun.

The maid next to her said, “I can’t imagine that this Marquis lady who worked as a royal guard in the palace would have such transcendent thoughts and insights.”

Wu nodded slightly.

The maid looked at her, a cloud of sadness looming between her brows, “If it weren’t for the Wu family’s several lords being strong, Mistress and you, Grandma, wouldn’t have had to bend over backwards to suffer this kind of pain in the Lin family. Grandma has suffered.”

Wu’s eyes reddened slightly as she turned around and said, “Go back, it’s time to decoct the medicine.”

After saying this she got into a carriage at the bottom of the steps.

……

Zhao Su returned to the mansion, the guards who had been sent to the He family had not yet returned. When she was taking a bath, she instructed Hua Wanyong through the curtain, “Go and verify if the identity of that Rongxin Chancery’s young lady just now is true? Then if it’s convenient, inquire about the Wu family in Cangzhou.”

The origin of Wu’s identity was her own words, and since she wanted to befriend her, she definitely needed to verify it first. If everything was true, then of course she would be willing to make friends with this Mrs. Wu – a woman who could go out with her parents to talk about business since she was a child was considered a formidable woman in this era.

Wu’s side of the situation then waited for news first.

However, after Yu Qingping hurriedly evacuated the place of the incident, she didn’t dare to think about anything else, but directly returned to the mansion.

When she entered the door, she was confronted by Marquis Jingnan, her face turned white and she called out “Father”. Marquis Jingnan gave a hmm, rushed out the door, did not say much before leaving the door.

Yu Qingping swallowed a mouthful of water, a breath of legs into the room, until the thumping heart calmed down, she sat down.

She changed her clothes and re-combed her hair. Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, the shadows in the mirror transformed into He Wan Yu and Wu Xiuping, who had just been drugged.

According to the people around him, the news didn’t leak out, so how did Zhao Su know? Could it be that she has been following He Wan Yu? …… She followed He Wan Yu, and why did she go in? Before going in, did she notice something?

…… Damn!

Carefully recalling the before and after, she stood up, “Come on!”

Huang Ying hurriedly pushed the door in, “Miss!”

“Where is sister-in-law Liu? Has she already left the city?”

“Almost an hour has passed, so she should have left the city by all rights. I just don’t know if her hiring a car went well?”

“Tell someone to go and take a look!”

“Miss!”

Huang Ying had just turned around when someone came in at the door. Huang Ying quickly stepped out of the way, and saw this person walk directly to Yu Qingping, “Miss, things have changed, sister-in-law Liu has been captured!”

“What?!” Yu Qingping rushed under the door, “Where was she taken? How was she taken? Didn’t they tell you to follow him all the way out of the city and back?”

“It was captured in the city! Originally everything was fine, but when I hired a carriage inside the city gates, I got on a carriage that was supposed to go outside the city gates, but the carriage actually circled around the city! Finally to the crowded bazaar, I lost them for a while, please be prepared, and when I caught up with the carriage again, there was no one inside!”

Huang Ying turned around in panic, “What now? Who did this?”

Yu Qingping, however, had already clenched her fists early on, “It must be Zhao Su! She must have seen sister-in-law Liu go out and came to knock on the door.”

“How could Miss Zhao have such tactics?”

Yu Qingping glanced at her, “She is no longer the Zhao Su of the past.”

Huang Ying gave a start, “Then will Sister Liu account for the girl?”

These words stopped Yu Qingping in her tracks. After a long while she suddenly said, “She won’t!”

Huang Ying sighed in relief.

“But I’m worried about the He family’s side nowadays, Zhao Su has set her eyes on Sister Liu, and will definitely find a way to remind the He family that this is a setup, then the He family will definitely want a thorough investigation at that time ……”

Huang Ying’s shoulders shrugged again.

“Hurry up and go keep an eye on the He family!”

“Yes!”

……

Zhao Su came out after taking a bath, and the guards who went to keep an eye on the woman just happened to come back.

“The person has been captured, may I ask what the girl will do with her?”

Zhao Su thought about it, “I won’t show my face, I’ll find a place to settle down first, and I’ll let Little Flower interrogate him on my behalf later.”

He Zong has already been put on the fire by himself, brought He Wan Yu back and had to start tracking down the truth, she shouldn’t show up too much at a time like this.

Hua Wanyu came back after dinner. “After checking the previous teahouse, it is indeed the property of the Rongxin money bank’s second old master’s family. This second house old master’s eldest daughter-in-law of theirs also did marry the big proprietor of the Dagu Dockyard. I was afraid that there was a mistake, and ran to the address she left behind yesterday when we parted, and I really found it, the mansion she lives in is the property of the Wu family, which is in charge of several Dagu dockyards.”

“The Wu family,” Zhao Su looked at her, “that means she lives in her mother’s house?”

“That’s right!”

So it seemed that the identity could be determined to be okay.

Then Zhao Su didn’t understand: the Wu family was in charge of several large shipyards, and there was also a mansion in the capital for Wu to live in, so it was clear that her mother’s family had the backbone. But last time, I heard them say outside the doctor’s office, Wu’s husband seems to favor concubines, encountered such a husband, can not be born can not be born, her husband’s family still dare to repudiate his wife not? Why is Wu still obsessed with giving her husband a child?

She put this matter aside and first sent Hua Rong to interrogate the woman.

That night, I tossed and turned in bed, and fell asleep late at night, and when I got up in the morning, I saw Hua Huirong sitting outside the door of her room.

Flower wanting to Rong brow wrinkled like a bitter gourd came in: “tried half the night, the woman hard refused to say who else instructed her to do, only a bite is Wu Xiuping let him go to the mansion, she has a few silver tickets, she also said is Wu Xiuping to her.”

Zhao Su also put together a tight frown after hearing this. Both Wu Xiu Ping and He Wan Yu had run to that mansion on their own, this woman could also rely on Wu Xiu Ping if she wanted to. But if it was him, what happened to the person who retreated from the ear room in the front yard?

So it definitely wasn’t Wu Xiuping, the woman was lying.

“Go and ask every day, if she doesn’t talk then don’t let her go until she’s willing to talk!”

Hua Wanyong led the order and went.

Zhao Su thought for a moment and then found Xiao Ju: “Send someone to place a post for the young granny of the Rong Xin money bank, say that I’m inviting her for tea, see if she’s free this afternoon or tomorrow, I’ll be waiting for her to visit at Ying Cui Lou.”

After saying that, she reported an address to Xiao Ju.

Seeing how solemn she was speaking, Xiao Ju immediately went to find Yun Qian Yi to write an invitation to pay her respects, and then took it to the front yard to find a house servant to run an errand.

Just as she arrived at the front yard, she heard hurried footsteps coming from behind, and when she looked back, it was Zhao Sum leading all the men at home out. Seeing this formation, Xiao Ju couldn’t help but ask, “Is this a distinguished guest coming?”

Zhao Sum, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped and turned his head to say, “Where is Sister Su? Quickly let her come out to receive the emperor, the emperor is coming!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ju immediately shoved the invitation to the servant, and after explaining to him, she pulled her legs up and headed for the courtyard.
