The old woman smiled and nodded:

"Not bad! I have delivered hundreds of babies, if the eldest lady asks others, I may not be impressed, but Miss Su's child, I am deeply impressed! ”

She took a sip of tea and sighed with emotion, "I lived next door to Miss Su back then, Miss Su was a hard-working person, and she was taken clean by gangsters before she got married, and she was even pregnant!" On the day of delivery, she was lonely, but fortunately I heard her calling from next door, so I asked my son to open the door and deliver her in time. Fortunately, God is not so blind, she gave birth to a white fat daughter, quite well-behaved and clever, when she was three years old, she knew how to call grandma and aunt, we are neighbors, I don't know how much I like it! ”

She recalled, a gloom on her old face, "It's a pity that the fire six years ago ...... Alas! ”

Xu Zizhu smiled, "Don't hide it from my mother-in-law, her daughter Su Jiu is my friend." Does my mother-in-law remember the face of that villain? Su Jiu, she has always wanted to find her father. ”

When the old woman saw that she could actually say the name "Su Jiu", she became more and more convinced of her words.

She carefully recalled, "That gangster still lived in the incense shop for a while, and he was probably a rough man of thirty years old. It's said that he is a rough person, but his conversation and knowledge are very remarkable. ”

Xu Zizhu winked at the pomegranate.

Pomegranate immediately held a portrait and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, do you think it is this person?" ”

The person in the portrait is Xiao Yu.

The old woman laughed and shook her head, "It's not him! That rough man has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he looks like he was born in the army, how can he be a scholar! ”

The corners of Xu Zizhu's lips hooked slightly.

Sure enough, as she expected, Su Jiu was not the daughter of the Xiao family at all.

She played with the wine cup, "Except for my mother-in-law, is there anyone else who has seen Su Jiu's biological father?" ”

"No more! That rough man nests in the incense shop all day long, and doesn't go out much. That is, when I visited the door, I occasionally met twice. ”

Xu Zizhu smiled.

In other words, the old woman in front of her is the only witness.

She thanked her and motioned for Pomegranate to send her out of the house.

Soon after Pomegranate left, Xu Zizhu summoned two more secret guards.

Two quarters of an hour later, Pomegranate ran back with a pale face.

"Miss!" She threw herself on her knees in the room, "That mother-in-law, she, she...... She was killed! ”

Xu Zizhu stroked the piano with her hand, "The secret guard who killed her was sent by me." ”

"Miss, the slave doesn't understand! It took a lot of effort for the young lady to find a witness, and she could easily prove in front of the Xiao family that Su Jiu was not the daughter of their house, so why did she kill that person? Miss hates Su Jiu, shouldn't she taste the taste of falling from the clouds to the dust? ”

"Falling into the dust?"

Xu Zizhu sneered, "Xiao Tingchen, he likes Su wine, but I prefer Su wine to be his sister for the rest of his life!" Unethical love, I want to see how they are together! ”

Xiao Tingchen's crush can be anyone.

But it must not be Su wine!

I wish a lover to become a brother and sister eventually, this is her revenge on Xiao Tingchen and Su Jiu!

The pomegranate was sluggish for a long time before carefully saying yes.

After a while, she took out another invitation from her sleeve pocket, "By the way, Miss, this is a post from the Japanese people, inviting you to attend a banquet in the White Terrace Falling Pearl Garden at six o'clock tomorrow." The slave maid heard that the incense masters and princes and nobles in Jinling City had received invitations, probably because the Japanese wanted to apologize to us. ”

(6:30 a.m.)

Xu Zizhu didn't care.

Plucking the strings with her hands, she said lightly: "Go and prepare the dress for the banquet, I want to incense on the dress." ”

"Huh?" Pomegranate looked at the incense burner in astonishment, "But this incense is poisonous and smoked on the dress, if it were smelled by others, wouldn't it call them—"

"Let you go, what's the fuss?"

Pomegranate resignedly retreated.

The sound of the water piano sounded leisurely.

Xu Zizhu plucked the strings, but with a loud sound, the strings were broken.

She frowned slightly as she looked at the beads of blood pouring from her fingertips.

……

When Su Jiu finished dinner at the Begonia Pavilion and returned to Zhuheting, he also received an invitation from the Japanese people.
