As soon as Madam Su saw Su Ci, she challenged her, "Ninth girl, your grandmother has found a good family for you. Come and meet Madam Liu, Master Liu, and Miss Liu!"

Su Ci raised her eyes and glanced at the people who came in with contempt, then ignored them and continued to eat snacks with relish.

"You unruly girl, don't you know any etiquette?"

Su Lianxing said hypocritically: "Sister, a woman should be well-educated and respectful to her elders. How can you be like this? You don't look like a lady from a noble family at all. How can you behave like this?"

Su Ci ignored their accusations. She just let them go in one ear and out the other.

It took a lot of endurance for her to resist the urge to slap these annoying and smelly flies to death.

Should she treat them with good food and drink, like guests? She certainly couldn't do that.

She often felt that her revenge on them was not enough and she only wished the storm would be even more severe.

Then Su Ciqing said quietly, "Aunt, I just heard an exciting piece of news. All the masters of the Qingping Marquis's Mansion were imprisoned, and they were tortured right after they were imprisoned!"

"Also imprisoned were two sons of Yongping Marquis's Mansion, one of whom was the third son Cui Ze. The reason they were imprisoned was because they privately mined silver in Miluo Mountain. The state strictly prohibits individuals from privately mining. The Qingping Marquis's Mansion was so bold that they committed the crime in defiance of the law. Their crimes are so heinous that it will be difficult for them to survive this time."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it.

When Cui Shujing heard the name Mi Luoshan, she knew that something bad had happened and she was afraid that the truth had really been revealed.

When Miss Liu, who had just entered the room, heard this, her pupils shrank slightly, her face suddenly changed, tears filled her eyes, and she shouted hysterically: "Impossible, you are talking nonsense, how could Brother Ze be arrested?......"

It seems that he is still a lovesick person!

"Am I talking nonsense? Go and find out right away! Otherwise, the marriage will fail, and you will not only not get rich but also get into trouble. You will be implicated and your whole family will be exiled or thrown into prison. That would be a loss..."

After saying this, he covered his mouth and chuckled with his hands, his laughter was as sweet as a silver bell, but to the group of people who had just come in, it was like Shura singing, luring them to hell.

The Liu family and their group immediately took several steps back, putting some distance between themselves and Old Madam Su and Madam Su, as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions, and immediately turned their backs on them.

People's natural nature of seeking profit and avoiding harm is fully exposed.

Miss Liu pulled her mother's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Mother, what should we do? Will my marriage to Mr. Cui San bring disaster to our family? What should we do?..."

Mother Liu asked angrily, "Didn't you want to protect him just now? Why don't you feel sorry for him now? This shows that my daughter is not the kind of fool who only knows love and has no brains. I am very relieved!"

"Let's pack up and get ready to go down the mountain! When we get back, we'll discuss it with your father and quickly go to the Cui family to cancel the marriage, so that we don't get implicated for no reason!"

"Okay, okay, let's go back and cancel the engagement! We must not let Yongping Marquis' Mansion get involved!" Miss Liu said firmly, without any defense.

Su Ci rubbed her forehead and had to retract her previous opinion. This girl was not a "lovesick person" at all, she was a cold-blooded and heartless "unfaithful woman".

Although they spoke in low voices, everyone around them, as long as they were not deaf and did not cover their ears, could have heard them.

Cui Shujing was so angry that her face turned red and her whole body was shaking. She cursed loudly with a fierce look in her eyes: "Do you want to kick someone when he is down? You are a bunch of despicable and shameless villains. When there is benefit, you come up to me with flattering faces to share a piece of the pie; when there is no benefit, you turn your face faster than turning the pages of a book, and now you want to kick someone when he is down. I have seen your ugly faces clearly!"

Madam Liu was naturally unwilling to be humiliated, and she retorted: "The Yongping Marquis's Mansion is seeking death, do we have to be buried with them? You wish, we are not fools!"

After saying this, he took his daughter and walked out in a hurry.

Cui Shujing watched them leave and spat fiercely. Still feeling unsatisfied, she glared at Su Ci with anger on her face: "You damn girl! It's all because of you who instigated the discord that led to the current situation. Such a good marriage was ruined by you!"

Su Ci glanced at her calmly and said indifferently: "Since the marriage is good, why don't you leave it to Sister Lianxing? Also, you haven't fulfilled Sister Hanyue's engagement yet! Aren't you afraid that the King of Qin will remember this and punish the Su family? Aren't you afraid that your uncle will offend His Highness and lose his official position?..."

After several questions, both Mrs. Su and Cui Shujing were speechless.

"Don't exaggerate. How could such a small matter affect my father's official position?"

"Why don't you give it a try? Don't wait until your uncle loses his position before you regret it! Madam, don't you agree?"

The old lady is stupid and vicious. It would be the best if she believed her instigation!

When the old lady heard that it would affect her eldest son's official position, she became even more flustered. She glared at the first lady several times and turned away angrily.

She had to discuss with Cui Shujing and send Su Hanyue to Zhu Mansion as soon as possible to avoid offending His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. Now the Yongping Marquis Mansion was on the decline and no longer as glorious as it was yesterday. There was no need for the Su Mansion to drag itself into the abyss because of a young lady whose reputation was ruined.

After making up her mind, she immediately wrote a letter to Su Yulou, asking him to get started on the matter.

When Cui Shujing thought of the glares the old lady gave her before she left, she knew that something bad was going to happen.

In recent times, the Yongping Marquis' Mansion has been plagued by constant disasters and bad luck, and is now no longer as glorious as it once was. All the money in the mansion has been lost, ten of the eighteen "wolves" have died, and Cui Gu was seriously injured and disabled, and he had barely managed to save his life.

Now, two more nephews were thrown into prison, involved in a case of illegally opening a silver mine. This was simply adding insult to injury for the Yongping Marquis Mansion. She even felt that the horn of death had already sounded in the Yongping Marquis Mansion, and the end of all of them would be extremely miserable.

Cui Shujing couldn't help but shiver. The blood in her body seemed to solidify, making her feel cold to the bone.

She had no intention of continuing to argue, so she staggered away with Su Lianxing.

"Sister, Princess Qionghua was murdered by the Lian brothers and sisters this morning, but fortunately, she was lucky enough to have a long life, so the thieves' plot failed. Now the Lian family's mansion is surrounded by the government, and all the people related to the Lian family have been imprisoned."

"But, I heard that sister went to the cave where the princess was in danger not long ago. What was the reason? Sister was able to find such a remote place. She is really capable! This time, it can't be a coincidence again, right? Come to think of it, sister has had so many coincidences!"

After saying that, Su Ci couldn't help but look at her with ridicule.

Su Lianxing felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her whole body was freezing cold.

Soon, more exciting news came. I wonder if Su Lianxing and the others can bear it?
