Chapter 32: Caring for Yourself
Su Nianxi only felt that streams of blood and qi rushed from the bottom of her heart to her throat.
In the previous life, the numb eyes of the girls looking at their time and space holes, as well as Shen Moling's mocking words, came into mind clearly again.
"Remember, if you don't have me, you'll be like them."
She only felt ridiculous, she became a forbidden place for Shen Moling to play with at will, and what was the difference between her and these girls?
Looking at the Yuzhen view of the guests in front of him, Su Nianxi turned his eyes and said in a low voice: "Uncle Fang, go home." β
Xia Lian opened her mouth, but looking at Su Nianxi's pale face in the dark light and shadow, she knew that the county lord was only afraid that her mood would be more uncomfortable than she thought at this time.
Indeed, they appeared here rashly, even if they had the heart to save people, they were outnumbered, and they would only involve themselves in danger.
When he came out of the Ascension Workshop, the bright red and blood-like lantern of Yuzhenguan was long gone, and Xia Lian couldn't help but ask: "County Lord, can you report to the official?" β
Without waiting for Su Nianxi to answer, Uncle Fang had already said: "The benefactors of Yuzhenguan are all powerful people, and they naturally have protection from above. Even if it is reported to the official, it may not be able to make any splashes. And ......"
He paused slightly, and then said: "If the county lord is involved, I am afraid that it will be very dangerous to the county lord." β
Who would dare to touch this kind of elite interests easily? Those who have no power to rely on have no choice but to find a way to die.
Xia Lian frowned, unwilling to do so, but she knew that what Uncle Fang said was reasonable, clenching her fingers, her face full of anger and hatred.
But suddenly Su Nianxi said: "Is there still a post sent by the Song family in the past two days?" β
Xia Lian was stunned for a moment, not knowing why the county lord would mention the Song family's post at this time, and nodded, "Mrs. Song has sent greetings and invitations every day, but according to your orders, they all refused." β
The Song family didn't want to withdraw from the marriage, so they naturally tried their best to coax her.
She had already been to the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Fang sent someone to the Song family to inquire, and the Song family was getting more and more caught up in the noise of discussions, and it would only become more urgent to force her to bow her head.
She couldn't go to the point of suing the emperor until the last step.
If you want to break the marriage, then there is only ......
Su Nian suddenly raised his eyes and said to Uncle Fang, who was sitting on the wheel to catch the car: "Uncle Fang, I will go to Ruicai Hall tomorrow and hand the news to Song Peihe." β
Uncle Fang frowned slightly and asked, "Do you need to arrange a guard for you?" β
"Hmm." Su Nianxi nodded, "You personally bring a few reliable people with tight tone and kung fu, follow me." β
Uncle Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and responded.
Xia Lian looked at Su Nianxi, a little puzzled, "Does the county lord have any regulations?" β
Su Nianxi looked out the window at the spacious street that was completely hidden in darkness, approaching the curfew, the shops on both sides were turning off their lights and closing, and the sporadic crowd of people coming and going was hurrying to their place of return.
Slowly exhaled the evil qi that was entangled in his heart, and said: "I want to use Song Peihe to make the entire Song family ruined." β
Xia Lian glared slightly, not knowing how the county lord would use a Song Peihe to abolish the entire century-old Song family with a Song Pei River.
But looking at her frosty face, I inexplicably felt that she would be able to do it.
Then he thought of the Jade True Temple, and after a little hesitation, he still swallowed the words on his lips - it is difficult for the county lord to take care of himself now, and there is really no need to risk taking the risk of standing up for the girl who escaped from the Jade True Temple.
It's just that in this world, there are always people who can't do things.
She lowered her eyes, clenched her fingers, loosened, clenched them again, and after a few times, sighed softly, turned her head, and wiped her eyes.
Su Nianxi leaned against the side wall, and her autumn eyes soaked in darkness looked at this cold-faced and soft-hearted girl quietly, and after a while, she bent her lips silently.
β¦β¦
Following.
It is still a day with bright sky and scorching luxury.
The shopkeeper of Ruicaitang, the premier silver building in the capital, smiled and led the little girl in front of him towards the private room on the second floor.
While flattering him diligently, he said, "The county lord hasn't been to our store for a while. However, the eldest lady and the third lady of your mansion have come a few times, ordered a few sets of jewelry, and are in a hurry. β
Su Nianxi chuckled and nodded, "Well, the eldest aunt and the third sister know how to dress up, what kind of jewelry do you order?" β
The shopkeeper smiled: "A set of emeralds, a set of rubies, a set of pearls, and some other things to play with......"
As he spoke, he glanced at Su Nianxi and said with a smile, "The three sets of jewelry are all Liu Dagong's masterpieces, and those small items are also half sold and half sent, and they are also wiped with odds, a total of three thousand five hundred taels, and the eldest lady said that the account of the Guogong Mansion is ......."
"Shopkeeper Zhang."
Su Nianxi looked at him with a smile, "The matter between the Su family's room and the Song family, I guess you have also heard about it?" β
Shopkeeper Zhang's face stiffened, and he smiled dryly, "This ...... I've heard the guys talk about it......"
Su Nianxi knew that the businessman was sleek, and he deliberately mentioned to himself that the jewelry ordered by the big house here was to test himself.
After all, this silver can't be wasted, right?
didn't care, just said: "Su Jiafang and my father have been separated as early as ten years ago, and now although they live in the Guogong Mansion, they are still two families. How can the jewelry ordered by the long-term house be hung on the account of the national government? β
Shopkeeper Zhang's face changed suddenly, "County Lord, Mrs. Su clearly said that day that she was hanging the account of the Guogong Mansion, and this little one will never be able to deceive ......"
Before the words fell, I saw Su Nianxi's face sinking slightly, "Shopkeeper Zhang, my eldest aunt is the most charitable and gentle person, and the third sister is also a dignified and virtuous lady, so she can't do this kind of thing that encroaches on the property of one of my orphan girls." You are also an old businessman who has been based in the capital for decades, how can you keep such a wrong account? β
When the shopkeeper heard this, his heart was 'pop'!
ββIt seems that the rumors are true, this Ping'an county lord is really torn his face with the Su family's house!
In the past, the gold and silver jewelry bought by the Su family from Ruicaitang were all paid by this Ping'an county lord, but now she doesn't pay it, and this Su family's room alone still owes a total of eight thousand taels of silver to Ruicaitang! Not to mention anywhere else!
No way! While the other families didn't know what the county lord of Ping'an meant now, he had to hurry up to the door to urge the money!
Hurriedly smiled at Su Nian again, "Yes, yes, they are all small fools, and they actually made a mistake." I also want to thank the county lord for not blaming, it just so happens that there is a double-layer butterfly gilt silver hairpin in the store today, and the small one is used to give the county lord a look? β
Su Nianxi smiled and was about to agree.
"Sorry?" Behind him, I remembered a familiar voice.
Su Nianxi raised her eyebrows slightly, and Xia Lian's eyes beside her suddenly sank.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked back - hey! It's really a coincidence that there is no book! Why did the second son of Song come to Ruicaitang today?
glanced at Su Nianxi, smiled and bowed, "The little one will go and prepare the hairpin for you, and ask the county lord to wait." β
He quickly stepped back, and made his eyes make the surrounding guys retreat.
