After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

He gradually moved closer to Su Qingcheng. In the darkness, Fu Yi tightened the hand on the dagger at his waist and focused on the situation at hand to ensure that Su Qingcheng would not be harmed.

"You will not."

Su Qingcheng smiled in the dark night. The smile looked harmless but very confident.

Liu Ziling paused. He didn't have any weapons in his hands. He originally planned to threaten the little maid, but he didn't expect that she would not be affected at all.

"How do you know I won't? Although it is well known that my relationship with Liu Dezhong is not good, I am also a member of the Liu family. I can do anything for the honor and reputation of my family."

He calmed down and stopped at an arm's length away from Su Qingcheng, making sure that he could strangle her neck with one stretch of his hand.

"Just because you are the Liu family, you won't," Su Qingcheng looked calm and did not panic at all when threatened. "The Liu family joined forces with King Duan to dig gold mines privately. In order to control the situation in Jingzhou, they did not hesitate to move the border areas. The silt was transported here, and if I guessed correctly, Liu Dezhong put something on the land in Jingzhou that caused it to dry out."

Liu Ziling's eyes trembled slightly, and she looked at Su Qingcheng with eyes that ranged from threatening to suspicious, and said, "Who are you? A mere maid next to the emperor's grandson can know so much?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are."

"What do you mean?"

Su Qingcheng took a step back. She was truly relieved when she heard Liu Ziling's words. It was too risky to assume that he was the only good person in the Liu family just based on the temple.

Fortunately, she made the right bet.

"Do you want to be a people's official for the descendants of the Liu family and the people of Jingzhou, or do you want to be a good son of Liu Dezhong..."

Liu Ziling sneered self-deprecatingly. Under the moonlight, he could clearly see the appearance of the woman in front of him. She was tall and had a beautiful figure. People couldn't help but wonder what her face looked like under the veil.

"Master, something happened."

The magistrate's servant hurriedly ran over and knelt down. Liu Ziling helped him up, frowning and asking, "What's wrong? Speak slowly."

The servant glanced guiltily at Su Qingcheng who was standing aside, but did not say anything directly. Su Qingcheng also understood what this meant, and said goodbye to Liu Ziling: "I will take my leave first."

When Su Qingcheng passed by Liu Ziling, she quietly handed him a piece of paper, which contained instructions on how to bypass Liu Dezhong and send the paper to the capital.

When she returned to the banquet, she felt that the atmosphere had changed drastically. The lively and noisy atmosphere had now become extremely low-pitched. She asked quietly: "What's wrong?"

"Someone just came to report that the road is clear." Ye Tantai's tone was high, and he sounded like he was watching a good show.

Su Qingcheng followed his words and looked at the expressions of the people at the table. Liu Dezhong was an old man with a look of unhappiness written on his face. Mrs. Liu always maintained a smile. The emperor's grandson was expressionless and showed no joy.

What surprised Su Qingcheng was that Liu Shilang looked happy, and he was the first one to speak: "That's great. This way, His Highness will not miss business."

"But..." The emperor's grandson hesitated.

Taking advantage of everyone's attention being diverted, Su Qingcheng quietly told Ye Tantai about the gold and said regretfully: "I don't know what happened to the emperor's grandson. If we had just agreed with him, we should have exposed the gold by now."

Because of their status, many things need to be revealed by the emperor's grandson, but now the emperor's grandson is being coaxed around by Liu Shilang.

"Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty." Ye Tantai's meaningful words made Su Qingcheng look at the dancers on the field, and sure enough, she found that a dancer's eyes were fixed on the emperor's grandson, and the two of them looked at each other.

"Hmph," Su Qingcheng sneered, looking at the emperor's grandson with a bit of disdain in his eyes, "Princess Xuerou may be kneeling in front of the Buddha to pray for him at this time. It's good for him that he can't even do business for a dancer. forget."

When she thought of Ye Tantai who had not returned home last night, she couldn't help but wonder if he was wandering around the land of flowers and willows like the emperor's grandson.

While the two were lost in discussion, Fu Xingzhou excused himself from the meeting because he felt unwell. He was surprisingly quiet that night, but Su Qingcheng always felt that he had some conspiracy.

Not long after, the banquet broke up.

Su Qingcheng was thinking about teaching the emperor's grandson a lesson when the emperor's grandson suddenly came to the two of them.

"I'm not going back to the inn today." He glanced at the two of them coldly, without any respect in the capital.

Surrounded by the Liu family, Su Qingcheng couldn't express her anger, so she could only lower her head and say yes.

Emperor Taisun and Liu Shilang left the school arm in arm, and drove in the opposite direction with Su Qingcheng.

On the carriage back, Su Qingcheng was so angry that she could only complain to Ye Tantai beside her: "How could he do this? When Lu Xuerou cried for help and asked me to help him, he looked like this Did he jump into the fire pit?"

Ye Tantai looked unsurprised and spoke eloquently: "The Fu family, greed for money and lust are bad habits engraved in our bones and cannot be changed."

"Then what should we do? We have to leave tomorrow. Although I have delivered the news to Liu Ziling, what if the emperor's grandson refuses to leave?"

"Wait a minute," Ye Tantai's eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes, "When did you see Liu Ziling?"

"That's when gold was discovered." Su Qingcheng felt guilty for some reason. She only talked about gold briefly and comprehensively at that time, and did not mention Liu Ziling.

"So that's it..." Ye Tantai didn't look good, but he didn't say anything.

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

After returning to the inn, Ye Tantai went straight back to the wing and closed the door, giving no chance for Su Qingcheng to enter.

"What? We had a quarrel?" Wu Ya said, standing next to Su Qingcheng.

"Who knows what happened to him..." Su Qingcheng muttered, and Wu Ya returned to their private room. A bad premonition arose in her heart.

Fu Xingzhou and Liu Dezhong were like grasshoppers tied to a rope at this time. Although she had just received the news that Liu Ziling had written a letter and sent it out according to the channel she gave, she still felt that something was wrong.

According to Fu Xingzhou's temperament, how could he not deal with the emperor's grandson in such a perfect place, but he just said nothing at the banquet and even left the banquet early...

Oops, the emperor's grandson is in danger.

"Wu Ya, hurry up and go to that wine shop to watch the emperor's grandson..." Su Qingcheng had just finished speaking when he heard noisy sounds coming from around the inn, "What's wrong?"

The other maids in the Emperor Taisun's Mansion panicked and said, "Oh no, those homeless beggars from Jingzhou have surrounded the inn, with torches and knives in their hands!"

Su Qingcheng hurriedly looked out the window. There were no refugees or beggars in this vast scene. It was clearly Fu Xingzhou's people who had pretended to be beggars and surrounded the inn, blocking the water inside and outside the inn.

Ye Tantai opened the door immediately, and his originally nervous expression relaxed after seeing Su Qingcheng: "Are you okay?"

"fine."

Fu Xingzhou's men had already entered the inn, and the guards with swords below were fighting with them. The sound of swords clashing resounded throughout the inn.

"The emperor's grandson is in danger, Awu, go to the wine shop quickly!"
