Chapter 201: Su Jianjin's Last Request
Not long after the person entered, Sang Yu knocked on the door: "Princess, the third lady from your natal family is here and insists on seeing you."
Third Miss, Su Yanyu?
Su Yinyue didn't have a good impression of those Su family members, but she had agreed to Su Yanyu's request. Now that Su Jianjin was arrested, Su Yanyu probably came to her to ask for money.
"Take the person to the small hall." Su Yinyue ordered.
She hid the flame beads and then went to the small flower hall to wait.
Not long after, Sang Yu came in with Su Yanyu.
Su Yanyu was wearing a bright yellow skirt and was much more plain-looking. When she saw Su Yinyue sitting on the main seat, looking good, she couldn't help but think that what was said outside was all lies.
Although Su Yinyue is seriously ill, she is obviously very well.
With this thought in mind, he still bowed politely and shouted in a pretentious manner: "Second sister is well."
Su Yinyue asked the maid to watch the tea, then looked at Su Yanyu: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Su Yanyu was used to her coldness, so she opened her mouth and said: "Second sister should know that my father is in prison, right? This must be because of those dead soldiers... That proves that the information I gave you at the beginning was not wrong. I didn't know that second sister
When can we fulfill our promise?”
"Su Jianjin has just been imprisoned, and we still don't know what the emperor will do with him. Are you so anxious to ask for money, aren't you afraid that others will find out?" Su Yinyue asked with raised eyebrows.
Su Yanyu curled her lips and said nonchalantly: "I know that the second sister thinks that I am ruthless and would even betray my biological father, but the second sister doesn't know something. My father was very close to Pingyang Marquis years ago, and he wants to marry me.
I am the stepmother of Marquis Pingyang. If something like this hadn't happened, I'm afraid the Marquis of Pingyang would have come to propose marriage in the spring. He's unkind and unjust, so I'm afraid that others will find out."
Pingyanghou?
Su Yinyue thought for a while and then remembered that Marquis Pingyang was over sixty years old and had married two wives who both died unexpectedly. Su Jianjin married Su Yanyu to him, which was completely pushing his daughter into a pit of fire. No wonder Su Yan
I don't feel any guilt at all.
"It's not urgent." Su Yinyue said and took a sip of tea.
Su Yanyu frowned and said immediately: "No hurry? Do you want to default on the debt?! My father is in jail and my mother is ill. I checked the accounts of the house and found out that my father spent a lot of money to support those dead soldiers.
"Young man, if you don't give me this little money, my mother, brother and I will probably starve to death tomorrow!"
The Su family was already disliked by people in the capital. After Su Jianjin was imprisoned, not many people showed concern, but there were a lot of debtors.
The money in the mansion has been exhausted after paying off many accounts, and even many of the servants have been dismissed.
Su Yanyu thought that after putting Su Jianjin in jail, she could control the money in the house, but this was a good time. The house was in such a deficit, and she didn't get anything!
"You should know that Su Jianjin offended the emperor. If the emperor knew that you betrayed the dead soldier, would he tolerate you?" Su Yinyue said.
When Su Yanyu heard this, her little face was full of horror.
Yes, if she asked for a sum of money from Su Yinyue, wouldn't she be slapping herself in the face?!
She lost her previous arrogance and said quickly: "Second sister is right, then I will come back to ask for this money in the future."
"Sang Yu, please bring me five hundred taels." Su Yinyue said. She didn't know whether Su Yanyu was telling the truth or lies. But when Su Jianjin, the head of the family, fell, the Su family lost its backbone, and the three of them, mother and son, lived
It's definitely not going to be easy.
After all, Su Yanyu had done her a favor, but she didn't care about the past. She just hoped that without Su Jianjin around, Su Yanyu could learn better.
Sang Yu brought over five hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to Su Yanyu according to Su Yinyue's instructions.
Su Yanyu was so happy that she counted the banknotes and then remembered another thing here: "Second sister, my father sent a message to someone and asked you to go to the prison to meet him."
"See me?" Su Yinyue frowned, with unconcealed disgust on her face.
Su Yanyu nodded, then she took out a piece of red blood jade and continued: "Yes, he also said that if you don't go to see him, you will regret it for the rest of your life. This is what my father asked me to bring to you."
Speaking of which, Su Yanyu also wanted to know what Su Jianjin wanted to say.
Moreover, the red blood jade tentacles were warm and exquisite. Su Yanyu liked it very much and wanted to keep it as her own.
But it happened to be something for Su Yinyue. Su Yanyu had to fawn over her, so naturally she didn't dare to keep it for herself.
Su Yinyue was confused, took the red blood jade and looked at it.
This seems to be a safety buckle, it is only about the size of a thumb, and there is not much carving. Despite this, you can still see the preciousness and rarity of this red blood jade.
She didn't want to go at first, but suddenly she remembered that Dong Mingyu said that all the red blood jade in the world was produced in Dongning country. Because the output was not large, it was very precious and rare, to the point where it was hard to find even one jade.
What did Su Jianjin mean by giving her the red blood jade at this juncture?
After Su Yanyu left, she couldn't wake up Chu Jifeng to discuss it, so she had to make the decision herself and ask her servants to hitch the carriage and go out.
Chang Wuying happened to come back and asked: "Princess, are you going out?"
"Hmm." Su Yinyue asked, "Where is Su Jianjin being held?"
"He is imprisoned in Dali Temple. The princess wants to see him?" Chang Wuying was a little surprised.
"Go and meet." Su Yinyue said.
Sang Yu and Sang Bi accompanied them, so Chang Wuying had nothing to worry about. He took out Chu Jifeng's token and said, "It will be more convenient if you have the prince's token."
Su Yinyue was not polite, took it and got on the carriage.
The weather has been good during the past few days during the Chinese New Year. There is no snow and the sun is high in the sky. It is rare to have some warmth in this cold winter.
Su Yinyue raised the car curtain and looked around for a while. She thought there would be a lot of people on the street, but unexpectedly there were very few pedestrians on the road. At first glance, most of them were men or elderly women.
She felt strange and asked: "The weather is so nice, why don't we see any women going out to the market?"
Sang Yu and Sang Bi looked at each other and whispered: "I don't know how many days the princess has slept. Since the year before, many Miaoling women have disappeared in the capital. When they reported it to the government, there were no clues, so each family
Every household no longer dares to let girls go out as they please."
"Human traffickers are so rampant? This is the capital city." Su Yinyue frowned.
"Yes, so the patrol camp and Shuntian Mansion have sent extra manpower to patrol, hoping to find the traffickers who abducted the girl as soon as possible." Sang Yu said, "We have to return to the palace before nightfall to avoid any accidents."
Although the two of them have the skills, they don't want to create complications and frighten Su Yinyue.
Su Yinyue nodded and lowered the curtain.
When they arrived at Dali Temple, the official trembled when he saw the black wooden carriage.
Fortunately, the person who came was not Chu Jifeng, but his princess Su Yinyue.
After inviting people in, the minister of Dali Temple came to greet him: "See Princess Ling!"
