Chapter 167: The Banquet
Xie Pei was convinced of this conjecture, "Miss, the slave maid has secretly investigated this new Miss Su according to your instructions, but unfortunately I haven't found any useful news. This person's previous experience seems to have been deliberately erased, and he usually keeps to himself in the house, and he has not made any out-of-the-ordinary moves, which is really difficult to understand. ”
"Looks like he's a great guy, otherwise you wouldn't be able to find out anything. But I still don't believe it, I send people to keep an eye on her every day, and she will show her feet one day!" Bai Yuwei gritted her teeth.
If Su Qi was no different from the women who came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to recognize her relatives in the past, she would not care so much about Su Qi's existence. Even with that face, Su Qi is very likely to be loved and respected by her grandfather, and it is not impossible to replace her position in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she will never allow such a thing to happen!
"A few days ago, the concubine in the family of Lord Zongzheng seemed to be called Cui Yan'er, didn't she hand me a name post and invite me to the banquet, I have a good way, I can take this opportunity to explore the truth of that Su Qi. Bai Yuwei smiled lightly, but the words she said did not have the slightest warmth.
……
The courtyard where Su Qi lives now has an elegant name, called Qingqian Pavilion, which is a secluded place, except for those daughters in the Prime Minister's Mansion who have nothing to do or deliberately look for trouble, the most people who come are only the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Of course, these are limited to the daylight. At night, this shallow pavilion is even more lively.
"Miss, the slave has come to bring you lotus seed soup. Outside, the red calyx slammed on the door.
"Come in. There was a slightly tired voice in the room.
After getting the response, Hongcao entered the room with a white fungus soup, and saw Su Qi sitting in front of the wooden table, which was full of papers.
"It's so late, Miss still has to read so much news, but be careful not to burn your eyes!" Hongcao said a little distressedly, and only when she got closer did she see that the paper was full of dense handwriting, thinking that these were all the information collected by the Splendid Pavilion, "These things can also be done by the slaves, Miss, you can take a break." ”
Su Qi squeezed out a tired smile and motioned for Hongcao to put down the lotus seed soup, "I know that you care about me, and I also know that these things can be done by the people of the Splendid Pavilion, but they don't know as much about their father's affairs as I do, so I'm afraid that they will miss something useful." During the day, I have to be busy dealing with the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I can only squeeze out more time at night. ”
Red Calyx sighed silently in the bottom of her heart, but she didn't persuade again.
"Miss, it's me. Cuiluo's voice suddenly sounded outside the house, and after getting Su Qi's instructions, Cuiluo pushed the door and entered, looking a little hurried.
Cuiluo, as usual, naturally picked up the ink block on Su Qi's table and grinded it for Su Qi, and at the same time lowered her voice and said: "There are a few more people who are secretly peeping outside today, and there are more and more eyeliners in this shallow pavilion, miss, I'm afraid it will be ...... if it goes on like this."
"That's it, even I have someone to follow, miss, do you think the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion have found something?"
"They like to see and check, so let them go. Su Qi's reaction was extremely indifferent, "Hengzhi, they can't find anything, right? Sometimes, I'm really glad that I established the Splendid Pavilion in the first place, and it is really a very important thing to be able to grasp the information in time! What we have to do now is to ensure that the purpose of our entry into the Prime Minister's Mansion will not be discovered and protect our own safety." ”
"Miss, the slave maid thought about it, and it was too risky to bring the paper with information into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it would be difficult to explain it if someone found out. Cui Luo said as she grinded.
"I'm not unaware of your worries, and I've been persuaded by the Red Calyx, but I have to take this risk in order to ensure that the revenge plan is foolproof. ”
Seeing that she couldn't convince Su Qi, Cuiluo didn't speak again, but just exchanged a helpless look with Hongcalyx.
"By the way, Miss, there is another thing that almost made the slave and maid forget. Bai Yuwei, the eldest lady in the Shicai Mansion, sent someone to report that there will be a banquet tomorrow, and most of the ladies in the Prime Minister's Mansion will participate, and she asked me to tell the young lady to be ready, saying that she was going to take the young lady to see more of the scenery outside, and by the way, to understand the famous ladies in the capital. The red calyx seemed to suddenly remember this, and said urgently.
Su Qi frowned slightly, it was not that she had not participated in the banquet when she was in the Su family in Jiangnan, but the participants in the banquet at that time were all the daughters of some of the richest businessmen in Jiangnan, but this time, the participants in the banquet must not be lowly people!
But not long after he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion to recognize her relatives, Prime Minister Bai Zhiheng didn't even admit her identity justifiably, only said that she should live in the Prime Minister's Mansion first and go to the banquet with her current embarrassing identity? Su Qiyi couldn't figure out what Bai Yuwei's purpose was for letting her participate in the banquet.
"Miss, is there any conspiracy in this? Cui Luo could barely guess what Su Qi was worried about, now in this world, it has always been the powerful, and the powerful can even easily ask for the life of a common person, her young lady's identity is undecided, she is really worried that something bad will happen to her young lady at tomorrow's banquet.
What's more, although this Bai Yuwei takes good care of the young lady on the surface, as far as Cuiluo knows, some of the people who monitor the young lady are sent by Bai Yuwei, this Bai Yuwei is obviously not a good type, and she naturally can't expect Bai Yuwei to make any good arrangements for the young lady.
"It doesn't matter if there is a conspiracy or not, I want to thank Bai Yuwei. ”
Regarding Su Qi's relaxed attitude at this time, Cui Luo Hongcao was a little puzzled, "Did Miss think of a way to deal with it?"
Su Qi shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know about it, after all, with her identity, she must not know what to do to me, as long as I pay more attention, I don't think anything will happen." On the contrary, it was her arrangement that gave me a chance to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion in the name of justice, which was obviously beneficial to what I was going to do. ”
has been nesting in the prime minister's mansion, which is obviously not what she Su Qi wants to see. It doesn't do her revenge at all, and if she can take advantage of the opportunity tomorrow, she may not be happy!
