The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 156 The Xu family was arrested

Sun Jiarou met Su Leyun's worried eyes and thought.

She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, showing a bit of fatigue.

“I felt better after taking medicine before, but now I feel uncomfortable walking around.”

After saying that, she looked at Mrs. Su and Su Changying, and smiled apologetically: "I'm afraid I won't be able to help Changying in this way."

Su Changying curled her lips and said, "Forget it, otherwise it would be bad if something happens to my sister-in-law."

 “Since you have a headache, just rest.”

Mrs. Su also spoke up and did not ask Sun Jiarou to help.

Seeing this, Su Leyun breathed a sigh of relief.

She has not forgotten that in her last life, Su Changying also asked her mother to help, but something went wrong at the banquet, and her mother was pushed out by Su Changying and used as a shield.

 Halfway through the meal, Su Changqing asked, seemingly unintentionally: "Brother-in-law, why did you come back so late after you went to the palace to receive the order today?"

“Your Majesty gave some instructions, but he didn’t come back.”

Lu Hong’s expression was calm and he didn’t want to mention this matter.

Su Changqing tentatively said: "I heard that Dali Temple sent people to search a gambling house today, and it seems to have something to do with people in the palace."

“Since it’s a matter of Dali Temple, I can’t say much.”

 In some aspects, Lu Hong is particularly ethical.

Seeing that he couldn't answer the question, Su Changqing didn't ask any more, but his face didn't look very good.

 Now that Lu Hong has become the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he is still the one who has the upper hand when it comes to official positions. He usually cares about Lu Hong a lot, but now he only asks a few questions, but Lu Hong doesn't want to say more.

 Such a comparison, of course he would not be happy.

 But his status as a marquis was obtained through the Sun family.

　　It is very difficult to climb up again.

Thinking of this, Su Changqing's face softened and she looked at Sun Jiarou, "Madam, I have neglected you these days. I will go to your yard after I finish my work."

Sun Jiarou didn’t want to see Su Changqing at all, but she didn’t refuse directly. “Then I’ll prepare hot soup and wait for you.”

 The family banquet is over.

Su Leyun accompanied Sun Jiarou back to Huairou Pavilion.

 “Mom, tonight…”

"Don't worry, even if I want him to stay, I'm afraid someone will make trouble."

The Yao Mozi mentioned by Sun Jiarou naturally refers to Wen Yiyue.

I learned from the dinner table that Su Changqing was going to Sun Jiarou's yard, so Wen Yiyue couldn't help but do something.

Not long after returning to the courtyard, someone came to deliver the news.

At that time, Su Changqing had just arrived at the door of Huairou Pavilion. Before he could step through the door, he was stopped by the boy.

Knowing that Wen Yiyue was not feeling well, Su Changqing only hesitated for a second, turned around and walked towards Zangyue Courtyard.

“Madam, the Marquis has left.” Nanny Li brought hot soup into the room and informed Sun Jiarou of the situation, “What should I do with this soup?”

 “It’s hot in the kitchen.”

Sun Jiarou waved her hand. She had never cooked soup by herself since the last time she delivered soup from the study.

No one in Su Mansion noticed Sun Jiarou's change.

Su Leyun returned to Chaohua Xiaozhu.

"Miss, there is news from Sun Wen that Miss Liu has smallpox."

"knew."

Cuiliu looked worried, but when she saw Su Leyun's calm expression, she was stunned for a moment.

She reacted and asked: "Miss, you already knew this?"

 “Just pretending to have smallpox, nothing will happen.”

Liu Qin chose to swallow the pill, and Su Leyun was indeed relieved. She was actually a little worried that Liu Qin would not be willing to do it according to her method.

 Fortunately, the other party listened to her.

Lian Xin had already prepared hot water for bathing when Su Leyun came back.

After taking a bath, Su Leyun felt much refreshed and went to the study to study medicinal materials.

Even though she has only been studying medicine for half a year, she now has an excellent memory and has many prescriptions in her mind.

 The pills that were used previously were all developed by her.

 After counting the remaining pills, Su Leyun made some more antidote pills.

 That's when I went back to the house to sleep.

 Late night.

Wang Xiuyi led his people to surround the Xu family.

 After a while, Xu’s father and Xu Zhian were arrested and sent to the prison together.

 In the prison.

 Xu’s father and Xu Zhian were imprisoned together.

Coincidentally, the person in the cell opposite was Eunuch Luo.

 Father Xu and Eunuch Luo looked at each other and looked away with a tacit understanding.

Only Xu Zhian was stupid enough to almost call him "godfather", but luckily Xu's father covered his mouth.

 In fact, the relationship between the three people is already known clearly even if they don't check it deliberately.

 “Dad, what are you doing?”

 Xu Zhian was pulled into the corner by Xu's father, with a puzzled look on his face.

But soon, he thought of something again, "Dad, why is my godfather also in prison? How can he get us out if he is in prison?"

 “Stop talking now.”

 Xu's father only had a headache now. He didn't discipline Xu Zhian well on weekdays.

Even Eunuch Luo was taken to the prison. Doesn’t that mean that the things they do in daily life have been known to the emperor?

When Father Xu thought about this, his whole body trembled.

As early as when he got online with Eunuch Luo, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about such a result, but he just didn't expect it would come so quickly.

 “Dad?”

Xu Zhian looked at his father's suddenly pale face and felt increasingly uneasy.

 Hands on my body started to hurt again.

 After a while, the jailer opened the cell door and took Xu's father and Xu Zhian out.

 At a fork, the two people did not walk together, but separated.

 “Dad!”

Xu Zhian shouted in panic, but he was fat and was pressed by the jailer. He turned his head for a long time without turning around, and could not see his father at all.

Father Xu was calm and said loudly: "Zhi'an, we haven't done anything, don't worry!"

 He still has some hope in his heart.

Eunuch Luo is working for Concubine Min and Prince Yu, and these two people may be able to rescue them.

What Xu’s father didn’t know was that the Xu family was destined to be the abandoned one.

As soon as Xu Zhian entered the interrogation room, his whole body became sluggish.

 Before even being punished, everyone he knew was punished.

Xu's father was a bit tougher. Wang Xiuyi interrogated him personally, but he didn't find out much for a long time.

 “Master Wang, Master Lu is here.”

 “Master Lu.”

Wang Xiuyi looked at Lu Hong who came in. Lu Hong nodded and asked, "How many did you ask?"

 “This person has a tough mouth and hasn’t said anything yet.”

 “You go out and rest first, I’ll come.”

Wang Xiuyi had no doubts, put down the torture instrument in his hand, turned around and left.

There were two jailers in the interrogation room. Lu Hong glanced at them and said, "You guys should go out first."

"yes."

When the jailer left, only Xu's father and Lu Hong were left in the interrogation room.

Father Xu reluctantly raised his head to look at the person coming, and let out a few dull coughs.

“Mr. Xu, if you don’t want anything to happen to your son, I’ll have to deal with it alone.”

Lu Hong lowered his eyes and glanced across the blood stains on the ground.

Hearing this, Father Xu's eyes suddenly widened.
