Meishuang Curie had a good night's sleep.

Su Baitong woke up early in the morning to check the beeswax she had placed in the shade to dry.

The cat's claw-shaped pendant had already taken shape, and the pendant was hollow, but she looked inside for a long time and didn't think about what to put in it.

Eventually, she closed the pendant.

She doesn't deserve to put something in there, she owes him. Never pay it off......

Recently, because of the marriage in Sufu, she didn't go to the incense pavilion, so after breakfast today, she took Huixiang and prepared to go out of the house.

Under the porch in the front yard, there are still big red happy characters, red lanterns are swaying in the wind, and there are still confetti of firecrackers on the ground...... The air was filled with gloom.

There was no trace of joy in the Su Mansion, and even the little guy guarding the door was wilting and couldn't lift his spirits.

Su Baitong walked slowly through the front yard with Huixiang, and faintly heard the sound of people talking under the corridor.

"I heard that Mrs. married the daughter of the third master to the Anqing Marquis Mansion......"

"It's not her own daughter after all, so she doesn't feel distressed."

"Speaking of which, in fact, Miss Su San still earned, her current identity is the daughter of a criminal minister. changed to other people's families, that is, the identity of a concubine, how could she be as beautiful as she is now, and become the little marquis's wife. ”

Su Baitong walked over without squinting, but he heard it really well in his ears.

Huixiang whispered: "I didn't expect the old lady to blame Madame. ”

The Xing family made such a big commotion, but he didn't expect that after Old Lady Su knew about Su Lingjuan's substitution, he just snorted.

A warm smile flashed at the corner of Su Baitong's lips, "Grandfather, all he cares about is Su Fu's face." ”

Su Lingjuan was married. Instead, he felt that there was one less trouble.

Huixiang helped Su Baitong into the carriage, and left after hurriedly saying a word in the gatehouse.

Su Baitong and the Xing family are now disgusted with each other, so it is better not to see each other, so he asked his subordinates to pass the word, saying that she had gone out of the house.

Su Baitong went to the Incense Pavilion here. Su Mingtang went back to the Ministry of Officials after going to the morning court.

In fact, he didn't have anything important to deal with. But he didn't want to go home.

Xing was crying and crying, and he was upset when he saw him, and his daughter also saw him like a mouse and a cat, and carefully observed his face......

His heart couldn't help but feel troubled, and the paperwork in his hand was also messed up by him.

Outside the door of the house, officials of all sizes came and went, and Su Mingtang was staring at the paperwork in his hand in a daze, when he suddenly heard a whisper outside the window.

"It seems that the emperor of the ink corruption case this time has been completely handed over to the Scarlet King, brother, you might as well go directly to the Scarlet King if you have something."

"I don't have any friendship with the Scarlet Prince. I'm afraid it won't work, right? ”

Su Mingtang recognized these two voices, they were colleagues who knew him well, one of them had just been impeached a few days ago, and he was about to be promoted, so he tried every means to find someone to dredge up the relationship.

"The scarlet prince is a good person, and he doesn't have a prince's shelf, in fact, he is much easier to talk than the virtuous king, you just look for him, just tell the truth, he will not embarrass you."

Su Mingtang remembered that he was involved in the case of his third brother, and at that time, the Scarlet King had personally come to the door to mention it, but now in retrospect, he found that the Scarlet King was indeed as they said, among the princes, he was a good talker.

"Will the Scarlet Lord refuse to see me?" The two of them were still whispering outside the window, as if they didn't know that Su Mingtang was inside the house.

"What are you afraid of, Lord Su Mingtang has offended the Scarlet King several times, isn't he having a good life?"

“…… Is that a good day also called? ”

Two people snickered outside the window.

Su Mingtang couldn't help but tremble as he held the paperwork's hand.

They were right, the Scarlet King had warned him before and asked him to treat Su Baitong well, but something like that happened yesterday...... Su Baitong was married to the Marquis of Anqing Mansion in a hurry.

His Royal Highness the Scarlet King should already know about this, right?

"Our Lord Su really doesn't know how to look at words...... Lord Scarlet has been running to Su Mansion recently, and he doesn't even know how to seize the opportunity......"

"It's okay to save him from taking advantage of it, if his concubine really marries into the Scarlet Palace, he won't have to his tail to the sky?"

Su Mingtang only felt that all the blood in his body rushed to the top of his head.

He stared blankly.

The voices of the two outside the window gradually faded away, but only the last sentence, like muffled thunder, exploded his ears with a bang.

If his concubine really marries into the Scarlet Palace......

Why didn't he see that the Scarlet Lord was interested in his eldest daughter before...... Is he blind?

Such a clear and clear thing, even others know, but he still thinks that he is high, has a backbone, and disdains to form a gang with the forces of the DPRK and China......

He staggered to his feet.

No, he's going to find the Scarlet King......

If it goes on like this, even his current position will be in danger.

He took a sedan chair to the Scarlet King's Mansion, but the guards at the door received his post but did not mean to let him in.

"Lord Su?" The captain of the guard looked him up and down.

"Yes...... I wonder if the prince is in the house? "Sub-private peasant blood.

"Our prince is not in the mansion, if you have something to say, just leave a word."

"I wonder where His Royal Highness the Scarlet King went? When will you be back? ”

The chief of the guard looked disdainful, "I can't say for sure, Master Su should go back and wait, our prince is very busy......"

Su Mingtang could only walk back wistfully.

remembered that the scarlet prince came to the door at every turn a while ago and took Su Baitong to the city to choose a shop, what a good opportunity it was, but he turned a blind eye to it, and was full of rules and truths.

Now even if he begs to come to the door, the Scarlet King will not see him...... Is this the legendary Present Newspaper?

Incense Pavilion.

Su Baitong put the prepared insect repellent incense into a wooden box, and instructed the guys in the store to store them carefully, and carried them to a ventilated and dry warehouse.

Hui Xiang asked, "Why does Miss want to make insect repellent incense again?" ”

When I was in Qiliang City, because it was very close to the border of Qi State, there were Qi people and insects in and out, so I needed this spice to save my life, but this is Kyoto, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, is it difficult and dangerous?

Su Baitong smiled faintly, "This kind of thing...... Who can say for sure? ”

Huixiang couldn't help but shudder, and muttered in a low voice: "It's better not to have this kind of thing." "Those horrible bugs, just thinking about them makes people's scalps tingle.

Su Baitong prepared an insect repellent incense all day, because there was no right-hand man like Begonia around to help, so at the end of the day, she felt extremely tired and her eyes were sour.

Huixiang said worriedly: "Miss, you better take a break, and no one is urging you to ask for the goods." ”

Selling insect repellent incense doesn't make money, it's not as much money as Su Baitong's ten Yunmeng incense per month, and now a large part of the main income of the incense pavilion comes from the harem, and the income from this part of the custom spice is enough to make the incense pavilion rich.

Su Baitong put down the incense-making tools, cleaned his hands, and took Huixiang back to Su Mansion in a carriage.

As the carriage shook, Su Baitong leaned in the carriage, half asleep.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted in from the window.

She woke up suddenly.

At the same time, there was a rush of horses' hooves outside.

Su Baitong pulled the curtain, and saw that in the half-light and half-dark twilight, dozens of horses were rushing towards their carriage, and the first person was holding a waist knife in his hand, and the cold blade reflected a dazzling cold light......
