For a long time, Mrs. Zhao covered her lips with her sleeves and laughed lowly.

She tilted her head with an innocent expression, "Xiao Tingchen killed the imperial court official, this is a capital crime. Now the only one who can help him cover up the past is me. Exchange that bone comb for Xiao Tingchen's life, do you do it? ”

Su Jiu picked up the bone comb, and the child reached out of the window like a child.

Window facing the river.

She tossed the comb around.

Yu Guang glanced at the delicate lady and clearly saw the nervousness in her eyes.

The little girl smiled brightly, "Sister Chen never leaves this comb." That's a very important thing for Bantang, right? is so important that maybe it is a token of Xiao Chen Qingqiu's master. ”

Mrs. Zhao's face was expressionless.

Su Jiu continued: "Sister Chen has already told everyone that the next master of Xiao Chen Qingqiu is my Su Jiu, so the nominal owner of this bone comb is me. If I agree to my wife's request and give you the bone comb, it will be equivalent to Xiao Chen Qingqiu changing hands. I'm going to lose control of Bantang.

"It is just Xiao Chen Qingqiu's rule that no one can leave anyone who steps in unless they pay for their lives. So, if I didn't have this bone comb, I would have died of old age here. And although the lady verbally promised to deal with the aftermath for the little brother, I have no way of knowing whether there is an aftermath or not. ”

Mrs. Zhao held the teacup.

The fine bone china tea cup of the front dynasty is painted with a delicate lotus picture.

If it is on the market, the collection value can reach thousands of gold.

However, at this moment, countless vertical and horizontal cracks are spreading on the surface of the tea cup.

You can get a glimpse of Mrs. Zhao's state of mind at the moment.

"So-"

Su Jiu smiled sweetly, "Madame's request, forgive me for refusing." ”

Mrs. Zhao put down the teacup.

She wiped her hands elegantly with a handkerchief, her voice still soft, "What if I promise you that as long as you give me the bone comb, I will let you leave Xiao Chen Qingqiu?" After all, you're the smartest little girl I've ever met, and I really like you.

"Su Jiu, I have a daughter, her name is Zhao Wuyang, and she is ten years old this year. She is very beautiful and sensible, and even already knows what it means to like. I also have a son, his name is Zhao Shen, although he is only twelve years old, he is very knowledgeable.

"If I could, I would like to recognize you as my goddaughter. Shen'er and Wuyang are both older than you, and as older brothers and sisters, they will play with you and protect you. ”

Her eyes were full of appreciation and tenderness.

It's like a mother.

But what is hidden deep in the eyes is a bottomless haze.

The little girl still has a childish appearance with crooked eyebrows and eyes, "I already have brothers and sisters." ”

Mrs. Zhao was kind and seductive, "Su Jiu, the power of the Zhao family is far greater than you imagined. As long as you become my daughter, let alone walk sideways in Jinling City, even if you walk sideways in Chang'an, it's okay. You may even be able to become the crown princess of the dynasty in the future. And behind all the glory and wealth, you only need to pay the price of that little bone comb. ”

Su Jiu's face was puzzled, "But I'm not a crab, why do I want to walk sideways?" ”

A crack appeared in Mrs. Zhao's loving face.

Without saying a word, she got up and left.

Before she could take a few steps, the little girl said lightly: "Madam, any woman who enters Xiao Chen Qingqiu must pay for her life before she can leave." ”

Mrs. Zhao sneered.

Behind her, the two secret guards holding swords and knives did not hesitate to kill themselves.

Mrs. Zhao looked back, her gaze was cold and attractive, "Miss Su, you probably don't know what kind of existence you are angry with. ”

A chill was engraved on her charming face, and she strode away with Shishi.

Su Jiu watched them go away, and quietly clenched the bone comb.
