Chapter 159 The Dust Settles
She seemed to hear something just now.

Su Niangzi went to the window, took a look out, closed the window for her, gave her some instructions, and then went back to sleep.

Su Nanzhen looked at Eggy in her arms, then at the closed window, and carefully put down the child. She was too sleepy, so she hurried to bed for a while.

And Qi Da went to find Pei Songzhi overnight, told him that someone wanted to sneak into the wooden house, and gave him the jade pendant.

Pei Songzhi took the jade pendant and looked at it for a long time. The jade pendant didn't look fake. It was a bit unreasonable for the people from Qiandongzhai to seek revenge. After all, they just wanted to use Yan Ying to marry.

As for the Shen family, although Shen Fengquan is a maidservant who gave birth to a son, he also has a certain right to speak in the Shen family. He is the only one in the main line of the Shen family who can take charge of the matter alone. It is not impossible for the Shen family to seek revenge.

After thinking about it, Pei Songzhi still felt that this matter needs to be investigated, so he asked Qi Da to go back, and he must not take it lightly.

After he finished his business, he found a reason to find Liu Changqin, and confirmed with Yan Ying privately that the jade pendant did have the logo of Qiandongzhai. This kind of jade pendant is usually only owned by the head of the family.

Her marriage with Shen's family has made the relationship between her and her family so bad that it is almost to the point where they will never communicate with each other. Yan Ying can't imagine that anyone will come to her from all the way.

If the Yan family got wind of it, they should restrain themselves a bit. If they didn't hear the wind, they shouldn't go there to find themselves.

Pei Songzhi thanked her, took the jade pendant and left.

It's time for him to close the net. The fact that the Shen family bribed the Ma family has become a fact, but the money that the Ma family got went into the Fu family's pocket. The Fu family was just a scapegoat introduced by the Fang family.

Even if the real behind-the-scenes hands cannot be found out, it can let them live in peace for a while.

Among the princes under the emperor's knees, Liu Ding, the ninth prince, has not yet been crowned king, and the favor of the mother and concubine is not fading. Xu Shi has already thought about it, but he didn't expect that the emperor's grandson would take the lead.

Now that she can cut off her money, I only hope that she can be more peaceful in the future.

Pei Songzhi quietly collected the evidence before revealing the matter.

As he expected, this matter came to an abrupt end at the Fu family.

The Fu family and the Fang family are relatives by marriage, and anyone with a discerning eye can guess what happened because the money was not in the hands of the Fu family.

Selling private salt is a serious crime, and accepting bribes is also a serious crime. If the Fu family dared to collude with the Shen family, it would have implicated the entire family in the past, but now only the Fu family has been liquidated, which is considered a special kindness.

As for the Ninth Concubine, although she was not implicated, life would be difficult without the blessing of her natal family.

When the dust settled, Liu Changqin took the big credit, Pei Songzhi and Shen Zhiwei only got some small ones, and Liu Changqin walked proudly with wind.

Probably only Princess Huairou saw through his details, told him to go back to Tongzhou quickly, and asked Pei Songzhi to help keep an eye on him, so as not to let him do anything stupid.

When Liu Changqin returned to Tongzhou, Su Nanzhen immediately came to ask for someone. He had hidden Yan Ying long enough.

Liu Changqin didn't come back and the butler didn't dare to let him go, Yan Ying didn't know if the matter was over, and didn't want to get Su Nanzhen involved and didn't dare to leave with her.

When Liu Changqin came back, Yan Ying knew that the matter should be resolved, so she went back with Su Nanzhen.

Seeing her leave without looking back, Liu Changqin was so angry, he turned his head and said to Chang Xi, "I have fed her for so long, yet I didn't even say thank you."

"Miss Yan, she doesn't eat and drink for nothing." Chang Xi risked his life to remind him, motioning him to see how well the normally half-dead flowers and plants grow under Yan Ying's meticulous care.

Liu Changqin snorted coldly, "Let the butler be replaced by a gardener who can work."

Chang Xi was about to persuade him, but seeing that his master had already walked away, he had no choice but to tell the housekeeper what he meant.

And after Su Nanzhen repeatedly confirmed with Yan Ying that she was just helping Liu Changqin take care of the flowers and plants, she didn't ask any further, and took her and Mu Furong to buy a lot of things back.

There are clothes for Xichun and Dandan, rice flour, flowerpots, seeds, and other miscellaneous things.

Watching her buying and buying like this, Yan Ying couldn't help but think of her past, but from now on she can no longer spend money like before.

Instead, her heart became more at ease, and she left the Yan family. She no longer had to worry about being married to a complete stranger.

"There are your things too." Seeing her looking at the pile of things, Su Nanzhen said with a smile.

"You don't get paid for nothing." Yan Ying shook her head, "I'm no longer a rich lady."

"You are not a rich lady, but you will be my good partner." Su Nanzhen said mysteriously.

Yan Ying was stunned for a moment, she doesn't know how to do business, how could she be her good partner, taking care of flowers and plants is not a skill.

Back in Baihua Town, Mu Furong and Yan Ying helped put the things away.

Su Nanzhen carried Xichun and Dandan's things back to the wooden house.

When Mrs. Su saw that she had bought so many things, she couldn't help saying a few words, "Children grow up fast, why buy so many clothes?"

"It's not necessary to wear patched clothes. People in our tattered clothes don't want to come to eat." Su Nanzhen said confidently.

"Should I throw it away if it's worn out?" Mrs. Su said angrily, "It's not like wearing it outside, so it doesn't matter."

Su Nanzhen responded perfunctorily, still going her own way.

What a child wears out is basically a coat. She just doesn't want her mother to change it. It's basically worn out when it's worn out. It's so troublesome to add patches and change its purpose. She just doesn't want her to stay up all night doing it. clothes.

Just as she was talking, Mu Furong grabbed someone and she still had a letter in her hand.

"I found out that this person is sneaky. This time I have stolen the money and got it. This person cannot be kept." Mu Furong handed the letter to Su Nanzhen, pushed Xiao Cheng to the ground, and stepped on it.

"Murder and illegal." Xiao Cheng was stunned by her words, and strengthened his courage with fear.

After reading the letter, Su Nanzhen hesitated and handed it to her mother, "Xiao Cheng, right? Is the name fake?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Xiao Cheng decided to deny it.

Mrs. Su read the beginning of the letter and vaguely guessed something. He wrote all the details in the letter, and he was watching their every move every day.

It is difficult to defend against house thieves by day and night, and Su Niangzi was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe, "Did he tell you to do this?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about. You can't treat me like this. After all, I have a reputation as a scholar. I'm going to sue the government." Xiao Cheng was still stubborn.

"Fame as a scholar? Is your name real? See if what you do is a human thing? Sue the officer, go and sue, if you don't go to me, I'm just curious, which gentleman taught you to be so useless Virtue." Su Nanzhen sneered.

Xiao Cheng is now fading, his name is true, and his deeds are true. If it gets out, he will not be able to wash away this stain in his life, let alone his fame and fortune.

Figured it out, Xiao Cheng panicked, and quickly begged for mercy from Su Nanzhen, "It's none of my business, I'm just following orders, and you shouldn't come to me if you want to settle accounts."
