Chapter 21: Whistleblowing

Su Ximei walked out of the middle courtyard slowly holding the brocade box. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At this time, there is still some water on the road, and the sun is warm and sparkling on it.

The breeze blew slowly, and the holly trees on both sides rattled, and the crystal raindrops on the leaves were scattered all over the ground.

Su Ximei looked up at the raindrops blown down by the wind and sighed softly.

It's not that she is sad or nostalgic for the past like those literati, but thinks that Aunt Li is probably going to hate her.

"Seventh sister." Someone came up to her and whispered to her.

Su Ximei turned her head and saw a delicate woman wearing a pink bikina white gauze skirt already standing behind her.

It was Su Xiangxiang, the sixth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Su Xiangxiang was born delicate, and her biological mother was Zhang Huaijin, the fourth aunt in the house. Zhang's family was born in Qinglou, and was originally a woman raised by her father in a foreign house, and later gave birth to the sixth lady Su Xiangxiang, before she was accepted into Su Mansion and raised as an aunt.

The Zhang family is low-key, respectful to the housewife, lenient to his subordinates, and never mixes into the open and secret battles in the house. And Su Xiangxiang also followed Zhang's temperament and avoided the-for-tat confrontation between the sisters.

"Sixth sister." Su Ximei smiled and took a step forward.

With a hint of anxiety in her eyes, Su Xiangxiang suddenly reached out and pulled her behind a big tree. Seeing this, Ling Xiang hurriedly followed. The tree is surrounded by half-human-high grass and flowers, and if you don't look closely, you won't be able to see the people behind the tree.

Su Xiangxiang opened her mouth, glanced back at Ling Xiang not far behind her, and stopped talking. Su Ximei understood her thoughts, and said softly: "Ling Xiang is her own person. ā€

Only then did Su Xiangxiang ask, "Seventh sister, have you seen the eldest sister?" ā€

Su Ximei was stunned for a moment, her eyes met her worried eyes, and she examined the purpose of her question.

The Zhang family has always been concerned about the affairs of the house, and Su Xiangxiang also has an attitude that it is not about herself, how could she suddenly be concerned about the affairs of the eldest sister?

Su Ximei shook her head, "The Lingwang Mansion is not where you can see whoever you want. ā€

Su Xiangxiang's eyes showed worry, her face was not very good, and she bit her lower lip and paced back and forth.

"Is there something going on?" Su Ximei asked tentatively.

Su Xiangxiang stopped, looked up, opened her mouth a few times but swallowed what she was about to say.

Su Ximei smiled and said, "If the sixth sister has nothing else to do, the younger sister will go back first." So saying, he lifted his feet and walked out.

"Wait!" Su Xiangxiang hurriedly stretched out her hand to block in front of her.

Su Ximei looked up at her, but didn't ask why. Since she stopped herself, she would definitely say it.

After being silent for a long time, Su Xiangxiang finally said: "Seventh sister, the eldest sister has always been very good to you, if I hadn't told you before, but this time since you returned to the house, although you are still you, many times it is different-"

"What does the sixth sister want to say?" Su Ximei interrupted her and asked bluntly.

Because she keenly felt that what Su Xiangxiang was going to say was related to the eldest sister.

Su Xiangxiang was stunned, and then tears appeared in her eyes.

"It's the eldest sister, they want to send the eldest sister to Shudi!" She said in a trembling voice, her expression a little excited, and her thin shoulders trembled slightly.

Su Ximei's heart sank when she heard this.

The eldest sister is already dead, how can she be sent to Shudi!

Is there anything hidden in this matter?

"The eldest sister is the princess of Ling, how can she be sent to Shudi?" Su Ximei said in a deep voice, "Did the sixth sister hear something?" ā€

"What I said is true." Tears fell from Su Xiangxiang's eyes, "Sister Xi, you have to believe me!" That day, I overheard the conversation between my father and my mother, and my mother said that the eldest sister did not know the inspection and lost the face of the king of Ling, and the king of Ling lost his temper, saying that he wanted to announce to the world that he had abolished the eldest sister's position as princess. ā€

"In order to save the eldest sister's life, my father proposed to King Ling to send the eldest sister to Shu, and my father had no choice but to do so." Su Xiangxiang cried lowly, and there was a resentment in her tone, "It's just that the eldest sister has always been knowledgeable, how could she do such a thing?" I don't believe it anyway. ā€

No wonder her father only cared about her leaving the house and didn't ask her if she had seen her eldest sister!

Father thought that the eldest sister had been sent to Shudi, right? So she will definitely not see her eldest sister.

At first, she thought that her father abandoned her eldest sister for the sake of the reputation of the Su family, but now it seems that her father probably didn't know that the conspiracy between Zheng's mother and daughter and King Ling took the eldest sister's life!

Su Xiangxiang wiped her tears and said: "My eldest sister has always loved you, and I don't know what to do, I have been thinking about this day and night, only by telling you, my conscience will be at peace." ā€

The Zhang family and her daughter are both cautious, and they came to inform them of this matter today, and they have also received the favor of the eldest sister.

They didn't want to get involved, but they were condemned by their conscience, so they came and told her that it didn't matter to them what she did or didn't do.

At least they have a better conscience when they say it.

But if they want to do something for the eldest sister, it is absolutely impossible.

Su Ximei reached out and gently patted Su Xiangxiang's shoulder, and walked past her with her feet. Su Xiangxiang trembled, and watched Su Ximei's master and servant slowly walk in the direction of the northwest chamber.

――――――――――――

"The Seven Girls are gone?" Zhang frowned, and only asked after a while.

Su Xiangxiang nodded.

"The seventh sister didn't say anything, and the daughter couldn't tell whether she believed it or not."

Zhang was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Is the seventh girl really good?" ā€

"Alright." Su Xiangxiang frowned slightly, "But the seventh sister is unpredictable, what she likes and what she doesn't like in the past, her daughter can see it at a glance, but her daughter can't understand her thoughts, even when she hears about the eldest sister, her expression is calm and very indifferent." ā€

Zhang's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this.

Does this girl not care about the eldest lady at all? It's a shame that the eldest lady has always taken her to heart!

"I'm afraid your eldest sister will be difficult to get out this time, and the Zheng family mother and daughter will not easily let her go to Shu alive." Zhang sighed lightly.

Su Xiangxiang's eyes widened suddenly, and she suppressed her voice and said, "Then what should I do?" Isn't the eldest sister going and never coming back? ā€

Zhang shook his head, his eyes filled with pity.

"Your eldest sister's life should be like this, and we can't do anything about it."

――――――――――――

Back in the small courtyard in the northwest wing, the meals sent by the servant woman were already cold. Su Ximei will eat a little.

Just after 9 o'clock in the morning, Su Ximei went out with Ling Xiang and Yuan Xiang.

The one who drove the car was Tong Hai, a cousin of Tong's mother's father-in-law.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a ticket number on North Street in Beijing.

This ticket number is the largest ticket number in the Central Plains, "Shunfeng ticket number".

Su Ximei was wearing a hood, and the hood was connected to the cloak on her body, covering her whole person tightly, and outsiders could only see a figure, thinking that it might be a girl from a family, but the appearance was invisible.

An ordinary horse-drawn carriage will not be a big family, and passers-by will lose their interest in exploring.

The shopkeeper of the Shunfeng ticket number glanced at the attendants who accompanied him, the coachman was a strong man with five big and three thick, strong and powerful arms, and the skin on the placket of the right shoulder was worn and red and swollen.

The two little maids were also wearing white-washed dresses.

However, the little girl wearing a hood at the front walked with a steady and powerful step, and breathed evenly, so she should have some skills.
