Chapter 182: Old Xu's Last Wish

The conversation of everyone seemed quite harmonious, and Su Qi'an naturally revealed the topic of asking about the restoration of the royal family.

During the period, the three of them frequently raised their glasses to show their respect, and Su Qi'an also raised a glass in return.

After three rounds of drinking, staggered, and everyone drank about the same, Su Qi'an got up and prepared to leave.

At this time, a maid in charge of serving the dishes seemed to be too tired to stand, and she fell down in public all of a sudden, and the dishes in her hands fell all over the ground.

The atmosphere that was quite harmonious just now was much colder in an instant, and Sun Xing's face was cold, and he scolded this servant girl.

"What are you doing to eat, it's really a disappointment, come on, drag Ben Shao out, so as not to disturb Mr. Su's interest."

When Sun Xing spoke, the servant girl's face was pale, her body trembled, and she kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

As a servant, she knew very well what the consequences would be if she was dragged away, and she would have to shed her skin if she didn't die.

The servant girl's bitter pleading, everyone was indifferent, after all, the status of the servant girl was sometimes inferior to that of ordinary civilians.

It is a slave in the mansion of the powerful of the family, and even if he is killed, no one will say anything.

This maid doesn't look very old, about fourteen or fifteen, and she has a good face, but it's a pity that she has such a master as Sun Xing.

The guards, directly ignoring the maid's plea for mercy, were directly set up, ready to be dragged away, and during the struggle, the clothes were torn, especially the cuffs, revealing the white and tender arms.

Su Qi'an sighed, after all, he is a good young man with modern education, and it is really difficult for him to watch a servant girl being humiliated and indifferent.

Su Qi'an didn't want to interfere, he just wanted to say a few words, at least he could save the life of this servant.

Su Qi'an's eyes swept, and just as he was saying something, suddenly, his eyes were attracted by the handmaid's arm.

To be precise, it is a tattoo on the arm that attracts it, and this tattoo is square with the word "hair" engraved on it.

Generally, those who have this tattoo are either family members who have committed something, or they are the descendants of displaced people, like this kind of displaced people will only gather near the border.

Su Qi'an's face changed, his eyes stared at the frightened maidservant, and a familiar feeling appeared in Su Qi'an's mind.

Su Qi'an's heart was pounding, but he hid it well, took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on his face.

Just when the maid was about to be dragged away, Su Qi'an's voice sounded softly.

"Wait."

The three of them turned around and looked at Su Qi'an with some curiosity, they didn't expect that at this time, Su Qi'an would speak.

It is understood that Su Qi'an is not a lustful person, and they are equally curious about what they want to say when they speak at this time.

"Tonight's banquet, the atmosphere is okay, don't mess with your temperament for a servant, so let's do it, Sun Hou, Lord Fuyin, it's better to buy a favor for me, it just so happens that my house, but there are some disturbing servants, I think she is very suitable."

"Oh, I didn't expect Uncle Su to be so kind and speak for a servant, this is really the good luck of that handmaiden." Fu Yin said with a smile on his face.

Su Qi'an remained silent, and secretly scolded this old fox in his heart. Sure enough, it smelled and came up.

Su Qi'an retracted his gaze and immediately said, "Harm, Su just said it casually, after all, this person is the maid of the Sun family after all, and I am afraid that something is wrong with Su doing this."

"In this case, Su didn't mention this matter, if there is nothing to do, I see that it is too late, and Su will leave."

After speaking, Su Qi'an got up, without the slightest intention of staying, and walked towards the door.

Su Qi'an's decisiveness made the three of them a little stunned, but they didn't expect Uncle Su to leave when he said go, and there was no room for maneuver at all.

Seeing this, Sun Wen stopped Su Qi'an and hurriedly said, "Uncle Su, don't be surprised, this matter is a little rude and offended the uncle, I will punish myself for this cup."

said and drank it all, and then continued, "The matter of the handmaid is a trivial matter, there is no need to hurt us for this matter, doesn't Uncle Su want this handmaid, no problem, come here, send this."

In Uncle Su's mansion."

"If Uncle Su feels that one is not enough, the Sun family can also provide a large number of things, and the handmaid Sun family has a lot of things, and Uncle Su will dissipate his anger."

Sun Wen said as he spoke, his eyes frantically signaled, and Sun Xing and Fu Yin behind him also got up and made amends to Su Qi'an.

Looking at the three of them with sincere faces, Su Qi'an's face was indifferent, and he snorted coldly, "Although Su is just a literati, he also has his own temper, forget it this time, if there is another temptation, then we'll see."

Immediately, Su Qi'an didn't even look at the three of them, and turned around and left with Su Yong.

It was supposed to be a good banquet, who would have thought that at the last moment, because of a servant girl, things almost froze, if it wasn't for Sun Wen's wit, I'm afraid it would have been unhappy just now.

Watching Su Qi'an leave, Sun Wen retracted his gaze, looked at Fu Yin, and asked a little puzzled, "Uncle, why did you say that you were tempting him in a good way, you see, if it wasn't for my quick reaction, I was afraid that it would have been difficult to end just now."

"Yes, uncle, you have always been very steady, why did you suddenly say what you just said, aren't you just a servant girl, as for making it so stiff." Sun Xing on the side was also quite puzzled and complained.

At this time, Fu Yin was also full of helplessness, he shook his head and said, "Alas, you are still too young, this Uncle Su is not so simple, uncle is in the officialdom, and he still has the ability to observe words and feelings."

"When that servant girl appeared, Su Qi'an's face changed significantly, although he covered it up well, but I still saw it, so I couldn't help but say something tentative, who knew that this Uncle Su had such a strong temperament that he almost turned his face."

"Uncle, could it be that you are mistaken, I don't think he has any special meaning for a servant, if it is really interesting, it is nothing more than a bed warmer, after all, it is a man, and it is normal to have this kind of need."

Listening to Sun Wen's explanation, Fu Yin nodded, "Well, maybe, it may be that my uncle has lost his eyes, but just in case, when sending a group of handmaidens over, some arrangements can be made."

Sun Wen understood that he instantly understood what his uncle meant, and he did not refuse, after all, if he could really find out something else, it might be of great use to them.

"By the way, uncle, I don't understand why you told Su Qi'an about restoring his royal status just now, if he is allowed to recover, then our Sun family is not just a toy in the palm of his hand, and he can handle it at will." Sun Xing asked.

Fu Yin shook his head and sneered, "Hmph, how can it be so simple to restore the status of the royal family, even if he can make great contributions, those people in the imperial court will not let go of a rising royal noble."

"The reason why my uncle mentioned it was to arouse the thoughts in his heart, if he insisted on doing it, we could be a spectator, and watch him become an enemy step by step, and be eliminated, wouldn't it be quick."

"By the way, in order to prepare for both hands, quickly pass this matter to Zhao Guogong, I don't think we need to make a move, Zhao Guogong can't wait for a long time, let's sit back and watch the show."

"Uncle is clever." Sun Wen and Sun Xing were full of admiration.

Su Qi'an, who left Laixinglou, did not stay, and went back to the other courtyard directly, and came back with him, in addition to Su Yong, and the maid who was sent back in advance.

Not just one, but more than twenty, listening to the servants of the Sun family, they were afraid that Uncle Su would not be satisfied, so according to Young Master Sun Wen's instructions, they directly sent a batch over.

If Uncle Su is still lacking, just ask.

For Sun Wen's kindness, Su Qi'an nodded, then turned around and went back to the room, before returning to the room, he simply glanced at the maids.

During the period, he didn't say a word, handed it over to Su Yong directly, and led them to do the task.

This scene made the eyes of some maids flicker, and before leaving, they looked at Su Qi'an's room where the candle was extinguished, and they didn't know what to think.

Su Qi'an stood in front of the window, the room was pitch black, only the faint moonlight sprinkled into the room through the gap.

Although it is not very bright, it is still somewhat dark, but this is what Su Qi'an wants. Look at the book

A man stood in a dark room, quietly thinking.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a figure walked into the room, stood behind Su Qi'an, and spoke.

"Sir, this group of handmaidens has been settled according to your instructions, and the handmaidens have arranged them together without discrimination."

"Sir, look, when will the screening of the handmaid be carried out, after all, leaving a group of eyeliner in front of you is not at ease after all."

Su Qi'an spoke, "It's okay, since that old fox in Fu Yin wants to install eyeliner, let him snort for a while, and when the time comes, let his Sun family return it tenfold."

"Inform the brothers, work a little harder tonight, be on guard, and there will probably be a good show tonight."

"Sir, you're saying that at this time, someone will carry out an assassination? Is it from the Sun family? They are so bold." Su Yong was obviously a little surprised.

"In Kyoto, if you want my life, there is more than one Sun family, and there are so many grievances on the border battlefield, I think at this time, the news of my coming to Kyoto, they should be clear, just to see who can't help but do it first."

"This group of people can only play in the nest, it's damn it." Su Yong was a little angry.

Su Qi'an didn't say anything, after all, as long as there are people, there will be open and secret battles, especially in Kyoto, this kind of power center, people's hearts are sinister, and they are deceitful, and if they make a mistake, they will be doomed.

This can't be avoided, Su Qi'an doesn't have that much ability to stop it at the moment, he just wants to protect himself now, no matter who comes, Su Qi'an will definitely let them have no return.

didn't answer this dull topic, Su Qi'an suddenly said, "Su Yong, do you remember Lao Xu?"

Su Yong nodded, "Captain Xu is our brother, and he is also a hero of Da Liang."

"Yes, Lao Xu's death is something I have always regretted, Lao Xu asked me one thing before he died, and I never told you that Lao Xu has a sister who was sold to Kyoto."

Xu Yong, who had never had any expression, heard Su Qi'an's words, he quickly thought of something, and asked with a thick surprise on his face, a little incredulous.

"Sir, could it be that handmaid?"
