Chapter 171: Old Case
"Xiao Qi has seen his grandfather. Su Qiying bent her knees and bowed respectfully.
Although Bai Zhiheng was old, his eyes were still clear, and his sharp gaze seemed to see through Su Qi's face.
"You came to the house to recognize your relatives, but your grandfather didn't take much care of you, do you have any resentment against your grandfather?"
Su Qi replied with a light smile: "Xiao Qi is not the kind of person who doesn't know the etiquette, my grandfather treats Xiao Qi well, although he is not in the light, but Xiao Qi can still feel it." I haven't come to thank my grandfather for the past few days, and I hope that my grandfather won't blame him. ”
"You girl is a ghost, I already call myself grandfather, you are good, a mouthful of grandfather, and said that I don't blame my grandfather. Bai Zhiheng squinted and laughed as he spoke, and when he smiled, the sharpness on his face was much less, but a little more kind.
This made Su Qi a little confused, so she should have called Bai Zhiheng to call her grandfather, what did he mean by this?
"Back then, your mother was like this, she was articulate, far from being comparable to ordinary girls. Don't say that you are similar to your mother's appearance, even if your appearance is not similar, your grandfather can recognize you with your cleverness. The reason why I ignore you is just to take the opportunity to see how many uneasy people there are in this prime minister's mansion, and you don't have to have any opinions about your grandfather. ”
"Xiao Qi doesn't dare. It turns out that the reason why Bai Zhiheng ignored her was because of this reason?
Su Qi couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, a little sour, a little astringent, this indescribable feeling actually made her nose sour, and she almost burst into tears.
"Actually, your father has already written to me, and I'm afraid he has already understood how dangerous his situation is, and the capital is not the place he should come back to. Bai Zhiheng sighed, looking at Su Qi's face with a little more pity.
Su Qi was so shocked that he couldn't come back to his senses, listening to Bai Zhiheng's tone, did he know the truth about his father being killed by Qing'an Houye? Rao was so curious in his heart, Su Qi didn't immediately rush to ask, but threw a puzzled look at Bai Zhiheng.
"You're a calm person, and in that case, my grandfather isn't afraid to tell you the truth of the matter. ”
Bai Zhiheng looked at the almost dim sky outside the house, and told a thing from the past.
More than ten years ago, Su Qingyuan was not originally surnamed Su, but surnamed Li. An unjust case made the head of the Li family, who was originally in the position of Taichang, be charged with exterminating the nine clans, and the Li family, who had been officials in the court for generations and enjoyed a reputation in the capital, completely declined, leaving no one alive.
"Back then, your mother had already made a private agreement with Su Qingyuan's stupid boy for life, and I had the heart to help the Li family get out of trouble, but unfortunately it didn't work out in the end. I couldn't bear to let your mother suffer, so I wanted to find another good family for her, but she actually escaped from the capital with your father. Everyone in the world thought that the Li family had long been extinct, but they didn't know that I had secretly sent someone to exchange a death row prisoner for your father's life. But I saved him just for the sake of the friendship between my hundred families and the Li family in the past, but I didn't let him kidnap my precious daughter!" Bai Zhiheng became more and more angry the more he spoke, and finally slapped the yellow rosewood table in front of him directly.
This past incident, Su Qi listened to it for the first time. It turned out that she was supposed to be surnamed Li? The reason why her father came to the capital was to take revenge?
"You girl's family, knowing these things is not really beneficial to you. But I can't bear to see you speculating and thinking about these things all day long, which affects my mind. You can just know this matter, and the rest of the things will be settled by your grandfather, so you just have to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, this is your home. ”
"It turns out that there is such a thing, but my father never refused to tell Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi has grown up, and he can help, why ......" Su Qi said mournfully, not crying in the end.
She still remembers the promises she made very clearly. She won't shed any more tears, because her tears have long since fallen.
"Your dad didn't tell you so he wouldn't worry you. Well, this matter will not be mentioned again in the future, if you are not careful, it is very likely to cause fear for your life. Outsiders only know that your mother is missing, but they don't know what happened between her and your father, and you don't have to mention it in front of people. After Bai Zhiheng said this, he asked Su Qi some things about ordinary life, but the most asked was about Su Qi's mother.
"Your mother has been missing for more than ten years, how many people have my grandfather sent to look for her over the years, but there is no news, your father said that my shadow died in childbirth, but I don't believe it. Shuying is a blessed person, how could she go at a young age......"
"Xiao Qi, who has been living abroad since he was a child, can't remember the appearance of his mother. It's just that Dad treats Xiao Qi very well. Xiao Qi is also willing to believe that her mother is still alive, if possible, Xiao Qi wants to call her mother in person and tell her that her daughter has grown up. ”
Speaking of this, Su Qi was also a little confused. Seeing Bai Zhiheng's determined appearance, is his own mother really still alive? Not a difficult birth as his father once said? If it is true, it would be great......
When I left the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already very late.
At that time, Su Qi tonight was not sleepy at all, she learned from Bai Zhiheng's mouth what she had been trying her best to investigate, but knowing this, it was still too far from the goal she wanted to take revenge.
The moon was on the top, but I don't know when, there was a shadow above the treetops.
The shadow moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it reached Su Qi, who was standing in the corner of the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Miss Sue. "It's a crisp male voice.
Su Qi was not startled by the sudden voice, but answered in a low voice, and then asked again: "My father's body, has it been settled?"
"Girl, please rest assured, everything is settled, this is the address. Childe let me tell the girl that it has not been peaceful in the capital recently, so please try not to go out. As he spoke, the man pulled a strip of cloth from his sleeve.
Su Qi stretched out his hand to take it and thanked him.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion is heavily guarded, and he should not stay for a long time, so he will leave. After the visitor said this, the figure had disappeared in place.
Su Qi didn't stay where he was for long, took the strip of cloth and turned around and went back to his residence.
On the strip of cloth, there is an address, which is where her father Su Qingyuan is now buried. Su Qi looked at the strip of cloth in his hand, and his thoughts were chaotic.
When she first heard of her father's death, she couldn't accept it, but after a night, she made up her mind to forget her grief for a while and concentrate on revenge. But when she heard that her father was exposed to the vegetable market, she still couldn't let go, she didn't take action, she was a daughter in vain, but once she did something, she was afraid that if she couldn't take revenge, she would take her own life.
Just when she was in a dilemma, someone reached out to her and helped her rescue her father's body, so that Su Qingyuan could finally be buried in peace.
This person is not someone else, it is Xiao Jiu who she has been thinking about for many years and has never forgotten.
