Strange love across time and space

Su Qing looked at Nanny Zhou who was being dragged down. She was upset and said to Jiang, "Mom, let's go back first." Jiang nodded, told Butler Li a few more words, and then returned to the main courtyard with Su Qing.

Back in the main courtyard, the servants served tea. Su Qing took a sip, put down the tea cup and looked at Jiang who was in a daze, "Mom, if this is really done by my cousin, what are you going to do?"

"What else can we do? We can't send them to the official. We can only let them go back to Fuyang. From now on, we will no longer have any contact with each other." Jiang sighed.

Su Qing nodded, "Phantom has already gone to investigate. Let's wait."

Jiang nodded, and the two of them were silent again.

The phantom didn't come back all night. Early the next morning, Su Qing just got up and saw the phantom standing at the door looking at her. She walked over and asked, "Where were you last night? You didn't come back all night."

Phantom smiled tenderly at Su Qing and said, "I went to check what you told me. What? Did you miss me?"

Su Qing quickly looked around, but luckily no one heard her, so she grabbed Phantom's collar and dragged him into the house. "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm not afraid of being heard!"

"Don't you miss me?" The phantom smiled evilly, and Su Qing was seduced by his smile again. Every time she saw the phantom smiling at her, Su Qing felt like she was going to die of boredom in the gentle land. Alas! Thinking about what he said to Phantom before that the two of them could not develop further, now it was a slap in the face! She had hugged her so many times when no one was around, and there were times when Su Qing almost couldn't control herself and wanted to kiss her.

Facing Phantom's question, Su Qing could only nod weakly, "Think about it." After saying that, she was afraid that Phantom would continue to talk about love, so she quickly changed the subject, "How is the investigation going?"

Phantom saw Su Qing's thoughts and sighed, "Baixiang Pavilion is the property of the third prince, King Rui. Jiang Mei and Jiang Feng have been bought by King Rui a long time ago. Jiang Mei is probably already King Rui's woman. King Rui promised Jiang Mei will connect her to the palace in the future, and will find an official position for Jiang Feng. The condition is that they will steal the secret recipe of the soap. Also, they will be asked to report to him the developments of the Su Palace at any time."

"It's really them!" Su Qing frowned, "I don't know how they hooked up with Prince Rui. No wonder Jiang Mei hasn't come to see my brother recently. The prince must be more tempting than my brother."

Phantom nodded, "Yes, for a merchant from the Jiang family to be able to hook up with the prince, it is indeed a good way out for them. But they don't understand Prince Rui's character yet. Once they lose their use value, they will be ignored by Prince Rui." Kick aside without hesitation.”

"I'll tell mom later and let her handle it. After all, it's her natal family." Su Qing was also helpless.

Su Qixuan and Su Ruixiu were at home today. When Su Qing told everyone what Phantom had discovered, Jiang slammed the table angrily, "I really underestimated them! I thought they were my relatives and would not betray the Su family! Look! Come on, in their hearts, the empty promise of the third prince is far greater than that of a blood relative!" She turned to Nanny Lin and ordered, "Go and call them here, tell them that I have something to ask them!" Nanny Lin responded and went out.

Su Qixuan sighed heavily and didn't say a word. Su Rui's eyes were sharp and asked Jiang, "How does mother plan to deal with it?"

Jiang's heart is filled with regret now. If she had not agreed to bring Jiang Feng and Jiang Mei back to the capital at that time, she would not be in the trouble she is having now. The soap her daughter finally developed was brought to the Su family Considerable profits, Su Qixuan and Su Rui's usual official business, including the money they and their daughter spent on socializing, mostly earned from soap. Now that the secret recipe has been leaked, this business may be difficult to do in the future. Jiang was heartbroken, but they were her natal family after all. She didn't want to report to the official, so she looked at Su Qing, her eyes full of guilt.

Su Qing walked over and hugged Jiang, "Mom, it's okay. Even if this business disappears, my daughter will come up with other ways to make money. My daughter doesn't blame my mother. She won't have any objection no matter how my mother handles it."

Jiang looked at her sensible daughter and felt even more uncomfortable. Su Qi Letting them monitor the movements of the Su family at any time must have bad intentions. Now that we know it, we should remove these two informants of Prince Rui as soon as possible. It is also a way to remedy the situation before it is too late."

At this time, Nanny Lin walked in, followed by Jiang Feng and Jiang Mei, "Master, madam, the young cousin and the young lady are here."

After Jiang Feng and Jiang Mei entered the house, they saw everyone there with gloomy faces. They suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts. Could it be that their affair with Prince Rui had been discovered? No way, I did it very secretly. Although he felt uneasy, he still bowed respectfully to Su Qixuan and Jiang. Seeing that Jiang didn't ask them to sit down as usual, the two had to stand obediently.

Jiang looked at the two of them coldly and asked, "You two have been in the capital for quite some time. Who have you been interacting with recently?"

The two of them panicked, and Jiang Feng spoke first, "Aunt, my nephew usually goes to the study to read, or goes to the teahouse to exchange knowledge and experience with like-minded scholars."

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Mei. Jiang Mei's eyes were a little evasive and she said, "I usually do embroidery work at home, go shopping, and go to the opera house to listen to the opera."

"Oh, you went to the Liyuan to listen to the opera!" Jiang said meaningfully, "As far as I know, the prices in the Liyuan are not cheap. Do you have enough money from the Jiang family?"

Jiang Mei's hands were clenched in her sleeves, but she still tried to keep calm and said, "That's enough, that's enough. When I came to the capital this time, my mother was afraid that I would be wronged, so she gave me a lot of money."

Jiang sneered, "Since the death of my second brother, your second wife has been living in poverty. My second sister-in-law actually has so much money to give you. It seems that she has saved a lot of personal money!"

Jiang Mei deliberately failed to hear the sarcasm in Jiang's words and laughed dryly, "My mother also got the money from her own dowry. She is only a daughter like me, so she naturally wants to give me the best."

Jiang didn't want to beat around the bush with them anymore, so he asked directly, "Let me ask you, have you ever been to a soap workshop?"

When Jiang Feng and Jiang Mei heard this, they became even more panicked. Could it be that what they did was really known to others? Jiang Feng licked his lips nervously, "Aunt, we did go to the soap workshop, but we were there to deliver snacks to the servants inside. Mei'er and I also have good intentions."

"You are so considerate of the servants!" Mrs. Jiang snorted, "I heard from the manager of the workshop, Grandma, that you went into the room and gave out the snacks to them one by one in person?"
