Chapter 196: Threat
Cheng Xiangming saluted Su Ningxue again, stepped back, and then walked into the gate of Su Mansion.
Su Ningxue followed. In the hall of Su Mansion, Su Lao Taijun and Su Jianwu sat at the top, and Su Jianbin's family sat on the left, saying that it was a family, but in fact, it was Su Jianbin and Su Ningrui.
"Lord Cheng, I'm sorry for you to make a trip."
"General Su is polite, Cheng was ordered to investigate, so he should come here."
The two stepped into the door one after another, and Su Jianwu glanced at Su Ningxue first, as if he was sure that she was fine, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. After Su Ningxue came back, he should have taken the time to go over and take a look, but there were many things in Su Mansion in a row, and he really couldn't take care of it.
Retracted his gaze and fell on Cheng Xiangming, and Su Jianwu greeted him and took a seat.
Su Ningxue's eyes flashed, according to her identity, the group of people in Su Mansion should salute her, but all of them sat without moving, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she found a seat to sit down.
Mrs. Su glanced at her, but Su Ningxue didn't see it. Until Su Jianwu opened his mouth and said: "I called everyone here today for Su Ningyou's case, the second family is going back to Yecheng, so let's make a decision here today."
Adult, I'm sorry for you to tell you the news you have investigated. ”
"Okay." Cheng Xiangming smiled, his eyes inadvertently swept over Su Ningxue again, and then he lowered his eyes, as if he thought about it: "Actually, there is no definite evidence for this matter at present.
I can only be sure that Miss Su was robbed before returning home. The Criminal Department did a round of investigation on the maid of the Su family, and on the night the princess got married, no one in the Su Mansion had seen Miss Su. The people who were waiting in the courtyard only knew that Miss Su had returned, but no one could confirm whether the person who came back was Miss Su or not.
I have heard that your lady used to visit Mademoiselle, but now she ......."
Cheng Xiangming paused, and Su Jianbin understood that the Liu family was crazy, and the Liu family could not testify at all.
"Why didn't Lord Cheng ask my mother earlier about this matter?"
"This young lady, you also know the situation in Su Mansion. After the incident, your mother ......" Cheng Xiangming looked at Su Jianwu with some embarrassment.
Other people's private affairs, it's not good for him to say too much.
Liu has been crazy since Su Ningyou's death, Cheng Xiangming didn't ask her about it, but she targeted Su Ningxue every word, who dared to apply her testimony.
Besides, at that time, Cheng Xiangming was instructed to help Su Ningxue, and the investigation was just a formality.
"Cheng Daren, then there is no other evidence? Didn't you go to the scene of the crime? Didn't you find anything? Su Jianbin asked.
"This ......" Cheng Xiangming glanced at Su Ningxue again, which gave people the impression that everything he said was decided by Su Ningxue's face. Mrs. Su slammed the table and said unhappily:
"If the princess doesn't want us to know the truth, you don't have to let Cheng come over, everyone is here, and now she is acting in front of us."
The corners of Su Ningxue's mouth hooked slightly, "Old lady Su, I only came here for my father's sake, if you think I'm in the way here, then I'll go back." ”
"Alas, Princess, this matter has something to do with you, and it is better for you to be here."
Cheng Xiangming hurriedly got up to stop him.
Nonsense, Su Ningxue is gone, he is acting in a one-man show alone?
"Mrs. Su, today this official is indeed entrusted by General Su, you said that this official is acting...... Hehe, I really don't know how to explain it.
General Su, if you don't believe in the ability of the Criminal Department, you can investigate it yourself. This official will present the emperor and leave this matter to you with full responsibility. ”
"Become an adult!" Mrs. Su is really old, just forget it if she suspects Su Ningxue, even take Cheng Xiangming to say it, is Cheng Xiangming shameless? "The old body doesn't mean this, the old body ......"
If you admit your mistake, Mrs. Su really couldn't say anything, paused, and said reluctantly: "Master Cheng continues." ”
"The lower official left the princess behind, and there is indeed something to ask the princess.
Princess, it stands to reason that on the night of marriage, you and the prince were together, and you entered the palace early the next morning to thank you, and you should hand over the Xipa to Fengyi Palace. The emperor and the prince's biological mother died early, and the matter should be handled by the queen.
Can... Xia Guan Yue was more polite, and asked the queen in private, and the mother said that the princess, you didn't send anything to Fengyi Palace. The lower officials dare to ask the princess, is it forgotten by the people in your house, or is it ......"
Cheng Xiangming raised his head slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little cunning.
He wanted to hint to everyone that Su Ningxue was most likely not in the palace that night.
"Lord Cheng is really lenient, and I have to explain to you everything in this princess's boudoir."
"The princess forgives the crime, the case is forced, and the subordinate officials are just doing their duty."
"Really?" Su Ningxue smiled faintly, and then said, "Lord Cheng wants to know, it's better to ask the prince." As a suspect in this case, this princess is afraid that if she tells the truth, no one will believe it. It is better to find someone you can trust and tell you about it.
As for the Xipa you said, I'm really sorry, the prince never ordered someone to deliver it, so this princess is not clear, there are many royal rules, there are some omissions, this princess should really enter the palace to ask the queen for guilt. ”
Su Ningxue was brought back from the countryside, not to mention the rules of the royal family, even if she couldn't remember all the rules of the Su Mansion, it was understandable.
Cheng Xiangming's smile narrowed, and his eyes slowly drooped.
In this game, Su Ningxue won.
"Do you have any other clues to investigate?"
"Not yet, the things at the scene of the crime are still being processed, Master Su, if you can rest assured, after the official investigates clearly, the news will be sent to the Yecheng Guifu."
Su Jianbin frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, then it's annoying to worry about adults." ”
Too many things have happened recently, Su Jianbin has long been exhausted, and today's conversation can be regarded as an explanation for Su Ningyou, and it can be regarded as asking for self-psychological comfort.
He looked at Su Ningxue with tired eyes, and finally didn't say anything, got up, his back was full of loneliness and vicissitudes, and left the hall.
The rest of the people had to disperse one by one, and Mrs. Su glared at Su Ningxue before going out, but unfortunately now her identity is very different, and she has no helper to deal with Su Ningxue anymore, so she has to give up.
Su Jianwu stepped forward and cared about Su Ningxue for a few words, but Su Ningxue was reluctant to talk to him now.
Didn't Su Jianwu think about her situation when he called her over? During the time she disappeared, Su Jin said that Su Jianwu hadn't even gone to the Xianyou Mansion to inquire once, and the Su Mansion hadn't sent anyone out to look for it.
Su Ningxue is not a hypocritical person, she just thinks that if people give her some affection, she will return a few points.
Cheng Xiangming was waiting for Su Ningxue outside the Su Mansion, and when he saw Su Ningxue being sent out by Su Jianwu, he hurriedly got down from the carriage, "General Su." ”
"Cheng-sama, I'm tired of you this time."
"The general is polite."
Su Jianwu could see that Cheng Xiangming had something to say to Su Ningxue alone, so he told Su Ningxue to be careful on the way back, so he went back to Su Mansion first.
"Princess."
"Cheng Daren has anything else to say, right? It's not just to salute me again after waiting here for so long, right? ”
Su Ningxue walked towards her carriage as she spoke, Cheng Xiangming followed behind her, and said with a smile: "Princess, we have just seen your status in the Su Mansion, and no one in the room takes you seriously, don't you really consider finding another way?" ”
"I didn't really think about it. If Lord Cheng still wants to threaten me with Su Ningyou's matter, then there is no need. We know the facts, and you can find a way to point the finger at me. I think I should have a way to get you out of the way. ”
"Princess, the second prince asked the lower official to tell you-"
"No need. You go back and tell the second prince for me, if Mo Xiao didn't educate him well last time, I don't mind sending Mo Xiao to run again. Let him think less about me, I, Su Ningxue, are not so down that I need to cooperate with a prince who is not favored. ”
Su Ningxue's words can be described as very arrogant.
Cheng Xiangming was stunned for a moment, watched Su Ningxue climb into the carriage, and walked away non-stop. He put away his thoughts and hurried back to the palace to recover his life.
"Miss, don't we plan for this matter?" In the carriage, Su Jin asked.
After what happened, she saw and heard it all, she was not worried about what Su Mansion would do again, but she was afraid that the second prince and Cheng Xiangming would do anything to embarrass Su Ningxue.
"Hmm." Su Ningxue thought for a while, and then said: "You sent someone to the Shen Mansion to deliver a letter, just say that Cheng Xiang Ming is favoritism, Shen Zhiyou must have heard about Su Ningyou's matter, and he must have a way to give Cheng Xiang Ming a little hardship." ”
"Yes."
Su Jin found a place to get off the carriage and went to the Shen Mansion to deliver the news in person.
Shen Zhiyou is a big celebrity around Yun Zhuhu, and he also has the position of imperial history, so it is most appropriate for him to speak.
Yun Yihong's palace side hall.
Xuan Yibing and Su Ningyu sat face to face, because Su Ningxue suddenly disappeared, their plans had to be shelved, and now the queen was a little unhappy. Yun Yizhan's status is rising, and Yun Yihong has made no progress here.
The queen was already in a bad mood, and now she has to lose her temper if something doesn't go her way.
Su Ningxue is back now, and the queen urges them to hurry up. Xuan Yibing entered the palace and discussed with Su Ningyu and decided that he would take action this time.
Because Su Ningxue didn't enter the palace, Su Ningyu couldn't always go out of the palace to meet her by chance, which inevitably aroused Su Ningxue's suspicion.
Therefore, at this moment, Su Ningxue's carriage had not returned to the palace before it was stopped by Xuan Yibing.
"Long time no see, would you like to sit together? I heard you just survived, so you don't mind saying a few words to me, do you? Just vent your emotions? ”
Su Ningxue was stunned, she didn't think that Xuan Yibing had the courage to do something to her in Jingling City, so she got out of the carriage and entered Xuan Yibing's shop with him.
From the decoration to the placement of objects in the store, it is really better than her small shop. In addition to envy, Su Ningxue has no problem, who asked her not to learn this in modern times.
Without Xuan Yibing, the business in her store is indeed not as good as before, but fortunately, Su Zhe has a way, and the little money she earns is enough for her expenses.
There is a slightly larger private room on the second floor, which is dedicated to Xuan Yibing.
Xuan Yibing brought people in, and someone brought refreshments, and it was very pleasing to look at the style.
