Chapter 322 Song Xiangzhi's Death
Chapter 322 Song Xiangzhi's Death
The moonlight is like water, illuminating the earth as if covered with a layer of light gauze.
Su Qingwan leaned on the couch and let Shanhu carefully wipe her hair.
"Miss, your hair is so black and shiny, so beautiful." Shanhu twisted the handkerchief carefully, fearing that she would hurt Su Qingwan.
"You're so sweet-talking. Have you taken a fancy to something new?" Su Qingwan asked.
"My slave is telling the truth."
Coral chuckled and continued with what he was doing. When he was almost done twisting it, he took the charcoal stove and started baking it carefully.
"Miss, the one in Lichun Courtyard still hasn't given up. He has written many letters to the Third Master."
After Zhenzhu came in, she bowed to Su Qingwan and quickly reported.
Su Qingwan put down the book she was reading and slightly raised the corners of her lips.
Song Xiangzhi's behavior was beyond her expectations. She had only heard from Qing Da that after she was sent to Lichunyuan, she was locked up in a small dark room for half a day, and was treated preferentially after she came out.
But I didn't expect that she was still thinking about reconciling with her father!
"Has my father seen the letter?" Su Qingwan now wanted to know how Su Zhiru would react.
"The letter has been delivered to the study. The Third Master must have read it."
Su Qingwan frowned, wondering what Su Zhiru would do? But if the news of a prostitute always sending letters to the third master of the Marquis's Mansion spread, it would probably not sound good.
For the sake of the reputation of my eldest brother and younger brother, and also because my father’s reputation cannot be damaged, this matter cannot be left unattended.
But the people around her father were all left to him by her grandmother, and they were loyal to her father, so it was difficult for her to do anything.
"Please pay attention to this matter first. If there are any more letters from Lichunyuan, tell me immediately." Su Qingwan said.
"Yes! In addition, Xu Banxian sent a message saying that he will go to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow to help the Second Madam with her worries."
"It's his turn to appear."
Su Qingwan was very satisfied. Xu Banxian appeared at the right time. He could solve the problem of the second house and make Liu hate Xiaokang even more.
The next morning, Su Qingwan went to Helin Courtyard and had breakfast with Jiang. Su Yuewen was also there. As for Su Yuewu, he was still in the palace with the Li brothers.
"Sister, I'm going to the palace today. Do you want to come with me?" Su Yuewen had a day off, so naturally he wanted to go see his uncle and Li Yulang.
Su Qingwan shook her head. Xu Banxian was coming today, so she wanted to stay at home and watch the show, so of course she would not go out.
"I just went to the palace. I won't go there today." Su Qingwan took a sip of pumpkin porridge and smiled at her elder brother.
Su Yuewen also heard about Su Qingwan going to the Marquis's mansion to ask for the divine doctor's apprentice, so he asked, "Are the second wife and her son's illnesses cured?"
"My second aunt has recovered from her illness, but Su Yueqi hasn't. He has been sleeping all the time. If he continues to sleep, he will probably starve to death."
"What kind of strange disease is this?" Su Yuewen asked curiously.
"I do not know."
As soon as Su Qingwan finished speaking, a figure in a brocade robe walked in.
"Father!"
Su Yuewen and Su Qingwan both stood up and bowed to him.
"Please sit down, Aunt Rong, bring another breakfast." Su Zhiru sat down directly without paying any attention to Jiang's intention.
Jiang suddenly lost her appetite, but as her son was there, she did not show it too obviously. She lowered her eyes and just looked at the bowl of porridge in front of her, stirring it gently but not putting it into her mouth.
Aunt Rong reluctantly asked someone to bring breakfast over. Seeing this, Chen Mu immediately took it. He did not dare to let Aunt Rong serve the Third Master, as he was afraid that Aunt Rong would break the Third Master's arm in a fit of rage.
"Third Master, please enjoy your meal." Chen Mu helped to set the table.
Su Qingwan ate silently. She noticed that her mother had no appetite, but she didn't ask any questions.
"Dad, why did you come back so early today?"
Normally, he would not come back so early after attending court, and would usually be busy until the afternoon before returning to the Marquis' Mansion.
"It's nothing, so I came back early naturally so that I can stay at home with your mother." Su Zhiru looked at Jiang while speaking.
He hadn't looked at Jiang carefully for many years, and the memory of her appearance when she was young was slowly fading away. But after seeing her current appearance, that impression emerged from his memory again.
He remembered clearly that he had to marry Jiang out of necessity, but his life did become much better after marrying her.
Over the years, I've slowly gotten used to it.
But Jiang was, after all, the daughter of a merchant, and she carried the mercenary air of a merchant, which he did not like very much, so he often used official business as an excuse to be away from home for a long time, and seldom asked about matters at home.
While eating breakfast, Su Zhiru couldn't help but recall the days when he and Jiang spent time together.
It always seems dull when I think about it, but it is very real.
The only sound in the house was the clatter of dishes, which did not sound cheerful.
When Su Qingwan was about to finish eating, Zhenzhu walked in quickly, followed by the doorman.
"Greetings to the Third Master, the Third Madam, the Eldest Young Master and the Fourth Young Miss." Zhenzhu knelt down and saluted, and the man who followed in also kowtowed.
"Zhenzhu, who is this person?" Su Qingwan asked.
"Miss, he is one of the doormen of our mansion. He said he wanted to deliver something to the third master, so he came in with me."
"what?"
Su Zhiru frowned unhappily. He had a bad feeling. Could it be that Song Xiangzhi from Lichunyuan had sent something over again?
The doorman immediately handed the small box in his hand to Su Zhiyi.
"Third Master, this is it. A little maid brought it here and said it was from Miss Yuling." The doorman said truthfully.
It's really her!
seek death!
Su Zhiru's eyes suddenly turned cold, he raised his hand and threw the small box directly to the ground. The things inside rolled all over the floor, and a folded sheet of paper fell out.
"what is this?"
Su Qingwan picked up the thing that fell at her feet and opened it very quickly.
"Brother Su, do you still remember the pearls you gave me before we came to Beijing? Unfortunately, I was too stupid at that time and accidentally lost them all. Now a merchant from the south thinks I am very talented and gave me some. I picked out the good ones and regarded them as returning the ones you gave me."
Su Qingwan read the letter out loud, so that before Su Zhiru could react, the contents of the letter were known to everyone in the room.
Jiang's face turned cold instantly. She hadn't realized who Yu Ling was just now. After hearing the contents of the letter, she remembered that Yu Ling was Song Xiangzhi.
Wasn't this woman already sent to Lichunyuan? Why was she still involved with Su Zhiru?
Su Zhiru is crazy!
As an official in the imperial court, he had correspondence with women from brothels. Wasn't he afraid that he would be discovered by the censors and reported to the emperor?
Or does he think his reputation doesn't matter? But as a father, can't he think carefully about his three children?
