A traitor

Because of Master Mei's careful care, Su Qinglang almost recovered on the second day.

Knowing the ins and outs of the incident from Ruyi, Su Qinglang went to thank Mei Liusheng, seeing that he no longer remembered what happened last night, Mei Liusheng just pretended it never happened.

People died in the villa, and they were servants of Prime Minister Qin's mansion, young master Qin's confidantes, Su Qinglang and Qin Huan, both lost interest, packed up their bags, and hurried back to the imperial city.

At that time, Mei Liusheng was standing at the door and saw Su Qinglang, accompanied by Qin Huan, walking towards the carriage of the prime minister's mansion.

However, when getting into the car, Su Qinglang noticed Mei Liusheng's gaze. Su Qinglang paused, followed his figure subconsciously, met Mei Liusheng's gaze, and after a while, leaned down and entered the car again.

When he returned to the prime minister's mansion, he saw the housekeeper waiting outside. He looked at Su Qinglang, then at Qin Huan, and said, "Young master, the prime minister invites you to meet him when you come back."

With Qin Xiangfu's well-informed information, he must have known about Jia Sixian and Qin Yang's affairs, Qin Huan did not want Su Qinglang to accompany him to be scolded.

So he made up his mind in his heart, seeing that Su Qinglang's spirit was not good, he said: "Qinglang, you go back to Changxue Garden and wait for me first, and when I see father, I will go back to accompany you."

Su Qinglang naturally didn't want to get involved in the matter of their father and son, so he hummed and parted ways with Qin Huan after entering the mansion gate.

When he came to Changxue Garden, he saw that the apricots in the garden were ripe, and the yellow and orange ones were very attractive. Thinking about Jinniang, he hadn't thanked her yet, so he couldn't help but feel annoyed that he made a mistake.

In the study, I played chess with myself for a while, but I heard a young servant come to the door and saluted him: "Master Su, Master Xiang is here to invite you."

This is strange, what happened to Qin Huan himself, it has nothing to do with him, is it possible that this time, he will be blamed again?

Without any hesitation, he followed the boy to the main hall of the Prime Minister's mansion, and instead of seeing Qin Huan in front of Qin Jian, he saw Jia Siqi's father, Jia Dexin.

Su Qinglang paused, then walked in, stood in the hall and saluted Qin Jian: "Master Xiang..."

Qin Jian hummed, and said again: "I heard that you are not in good health recently, don't stand there, sit down first."

Su Qinglang was a little flattered, after all, with Qin Huan's mistakes, even if Qin Jian didn't say anything, he would definitely blame him in his heart.

However, this time, instead of asking questions, Prime Minister Qin was very polite, which made Su Qinglang feel even more anxious and guilty for a moment.

He looked around the main hall, but he never saw Qin Huan's figure, and under Qin Jian's majestic gaze, he had to look away calmly.

Qin Jian said: "Huan'er has become more and more outrageous these days. The truth is that he has gone to the lonely mountain to guard the spirit of his mother. He will not be able to see Mr. Su these days."

Su Qinglang nodded, unable to see any flaws: "The people below commit crimes. Although the son is not strict in supervision, you can't completely blame him. Don't you think so, Mr. Jia?"

Jia Dexin was taken aback by being nominated by him suddenly, and looked at Qin Jian, he naturally knew the truth about his niece's death.

But even though he was angry at what Qin Huan did, he couldn't offend Xiangye because of it, so he could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, knocking out his teeth and swallowing it in his stomach.

He replied: "Yes... yes, no one would have thought of this kind of thing happening, Master Xiang should not blame the young master too much."

"Speaking of Miss Jia..."

With guilt on her face, Su Qinglang looked at Jia Dexin, cupped her hands and said, "It's all Qinglang's fault, it's just for nothing that he provoked such a person, otherwise Miss Jia wouldn't suffer because of it."

This apology came from the heart, after all, he had no grievances with that girl Jia, but he killed her because of his ego and carelessness.

Although the girl seemed to be seeking her own death under the instigation of her uncle, Su Qinglang still felt a little bit sorry.

Jia Dexin hurriedly said: "Master Su doesn't need to apologize, everything... can only be said, it's because of that girl's bad life, and she has no luck to become acquainted with Master Su."

As he said that, two tears came out of his old and cloudy eyes, and he pulled his sleeves to wipe them, his face was wrinkled due to sadness.

Seeing this, Su Qinglang thought, who I am, it's not like you don't know. It was you, Lord Jia, who got me out of the prison and sent him to Qin Huan's bed. Now we are all snakes and rats It's not smelly enough to be scolded for making shit out of a pile of mud, but even so, I still pushed my niece to me.

When I sold my niece in the past, I didn't have such a touching family relationship. Now that everyone is dead, I come here to pretend to be a good person. Isn't it hypocritical?

He also heard Qin Jian say: "This matter is also inseparable from the prime minister's residence, so that the niece's family will be able to compensate for the truth."

Jia Dexin sat up straight as if receiving great favor from heaven, and thanked him a thousand times: "Thank you, Mr. Xiang."

Su Qinglang refused to comment, picked up the cup of tea on the table next to him, took a sip unhurriedly, and then heard Qin Jian say, "I'm looking for you today because I have another matter."

Putting down the teacup, seeing Qin Jian glanced at Jia Dexin, he continued: "I heard the news from the palace that the imperial concubine is pregnant..."

Hearing this sentence, Su Qinglang's mind buzzed, and a firework exploded, and he didn't hear the words after that, only thinking about Wan Yuzhen in the deep palace.

Shocked, Qin Jian said: "Nowadays the imperial concubine is inconvenient and can no longer serve the emperor, so I want to discuss with Mr. Su and want to send someone into the palace."

Su Qinglang was stunned for a moment, and slowly recovered from his astonishment, he restrained his expression, looked at Jia Dexin and said, "I remember, Mrs. Jia only has Miss Jia as a niece..."

Jia Dexin smiled, and replied: "This person is the daughter of an old friend of the lower official, and counting, he and Mr. Su can be regarded as old acquaintances."

The daughter of Jia Dexin's old friend, and he is still an old acquaintance, after all the calculations, there is only one Du Shiqi.

Some time ago, when he saw Jia Dexin brought Du Shiqi to meet Qin Jian, he thought he was going to match Qin Huan, but he didn't expect to have such an idea.

Selling his niece was not enough, even this Miss Du, who had saved his son, had to take advantage of her cramps, really worthy of Mrs. Jia Dexinjia.

Holding the folding fan, he pretended to be hesitant: "This...Master Xiang, you also know that in matters in the palace, I have never been able to decide, why don't you discuss it with your empress?"

Seeing him turning a corner and wanting to refuse, Qin Jian straightened his face: "Lord Su, no matter how old the empress in the palace is, she is still not as big as the emperor. As ministers, you and I should think more about the emperor, besides the noble concubine Even if you don't tell the truth, you should know exactly what the empress is carrying in her belly."

"Relying on a mountain that doesn't know when it will collapse, Master Su wants to find another way to make a living, or die with her?"

For Wan Yuzhen, Qin Jian had long held back his anger. Not only was that woman a lunatic, but she was also very ignorant.

I don't know why, but I just recognized Su Qinglang, and only when Su Qinglang was involved, I would occasionally help her out, otherwise even Qin Xiangye would not be able to tear away her affection.

Over the years, the reason why Qin Jian has relied so much on Su Qinglang is because of his affection in front of Wan Yuzhen.

Moreover, because of dissatisfaction with Wan Yuzhen, she had always intended to place her own people in the harem, but Su Qinglang and Wan Yuzhen stopped them both openly and secretly.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of Wan Yuzhen's pregnancy, Qin Jian made such a request, knowing that it was not good for him, but Su Qinglang couldn't refuse.

If this matter can't be done, if Qin Jian handed over the memorial directly and exposed the personal relationship between Wan Yuzhen and the imperial doctor, obviously the next situation will only get worse.

Su Qinglang had no choice but to nod his head and hand over to Qin Jian: "Yes..."

Exit from the main hall, because Qin Huan was not there, Su Qinglang had no choice but to leave on his own.

Walking halfway, I saw Du Shiqi and a young man feeding the fish. At first I thought it was Qin Huan, but when I got closer, it was Jia Siqi.

The atmosphere between the two of them was so sweet and disgusting, Su Qinglang hid in the dark and watched for a while, waiting for Jia Siqi to leave before walking over.

Seeing Su Qinglang, Du Shiqi was not surprised, just glanced at him, and fed the fish as if nothing had happened.

Su Qinglang walked up to her and stopped, looked at the lotus in the water and said: "The flowers bloom side by side, which is enviable, why does one of them want to get into that mud?"

Du Shiqi smiled calmly, grabbed a handful of fish food, threw it into the water and said, "Maybe it's for the other to live better, Master Su will understand?"

Back then when he begged him to save Du Qingyun, he didn't have such awareness, but today he has the spirit of dedication and sacrifice for Jia Siqi.

Su Qinglang snorted secretly, and said again: "Everyone has the right to choose their own life, I just hope that the girl will not regret it in the future."

Du Shiqi turned around and looked at him, with a bright smile still on her face: "My little girl remembers that in the wind and rain pavilion, she received special care from Mr. Su and the princess, and Mr. Jia, I heard that Mr. Su also had Received special appreciation, such kindness, my little girl will definitely remember it, and it will be unforgettable."

She paused, looked Su Qinglang up and down again, and said, "Master Su, you can believe it. It is impossible for a person to sit back and relax for a lifetime when Feng Shui turns around. Back then, you refused to save my father and caused my father to lose it." Life, my little girl believes that my father's spirit in heaven will definitely protect Lord Su."

Seeing that the visitor was not kind, Su Qinglang didn't intend to show weakness, he smiled and responded unceremoniously: "Miss Du's words are wrong."

"Your father deserved his crime, and his death deserves more than justification. How can you harm him? What's more, your father has taken so many lives in his hands. Even if he dies, he will not be in heaven."

As he spoke, he took the folding fan and tapped it downwards, and continued: "Perhaps, it's here."

Du Shiqi was so angry that her face was black and black, and her eyes were full of ferociousness for a while. She looked at Su Qinglang holding back her anger, and then heard Su Qinglang's sarcasm: "If you do many unrighteous actions, you will die yourself. Du Qingyun is the best example. Miss Du Be careful, don't follow in your father's footsteps."

Du Shiqi gritted her teeth and clenched her fingers tightly. After a while, she let go again and smiled slightly: "Master Su is the same."
