Hexi

Chapter 358
After parting in the teahouse, Mrs. Zhou still took the carriage arranged by Su Shou to go to Su's house. Su Shou sent Wu Cong to accompany her, while she stayed in the teahouse and sat.

The bright moon gradually shone through the window, and scattered the shadow of a willow tree facing the wind.

The sound of pedestrians passing by on the street under the window has disappeared for some time, only the sporadic chatter of diners in the shop downstairs.

Su Shou sat silently facing the moonlight for a while, got up after drinking the cold tea, and went downstairs.

Diagonally opposite is the Yamen of Dali Temple, and the coachman waiting there has already led the horse over after seeing him.

In the middle of the night, the Su Mansion is silent and peaceful. As one of the richest households in the capital, under the moonlight, it looks a little less luxurious than it should be, but it complements the Su family's usual low-key.

Su Shou entered the corner gate, and immediately handed the whip to Wu Cong who came up to meet him: "Madam Zhou has made arrangements?"

"I have just reported to my wife, and my wife sent Gingko to tidy up the Qinfang Courtyard for Mrs. Zhou to settle down."

Qinfang Courtyard is near Qiyu Courtyard, so it is convenient to communicate with Su Luo.

Su Shou hummed to express his approval.After taking two steps, he slowed down and asked, "How are you born?"

Wu Cong glanced at him, bowed and said, "The younger one told his wife the truth, saying that Mrs. Zhou is Miss Aji's mother and they are officials. Mrs. Zhou is the eldest girl's guest."

Su Shou nodded again, and walked towards the study: "Go and invite the second master."

"Yes."

The lights in the study were turned on ahead of time, and the servants guarding the door took care of them with lanterns.

Just as Su Shou entered the door and took off his cloak, the sound of Su Yan entering the yard came.

"Brother!" Su Yan hurriedly walked, his clothes were very neat, and he seemed to have not rested, "What did you tell me?"

Su Shou raised his head to signal him to close the door, and then said: "You know about the little girl named Aji in my sister's room?"

"I know, I'll find out in the next afternoon, brother Qi said. What, the girl's mother came here? I heard that she is not an ordinary orphan girl, but an official family member?"

Because of Aji's incident, the Su family was making a fuss on the streets, and the news had already spread.The Su family also paid attention to this matter all afternoon today. Su Yan wanted to ask for a long time, but it was a pity that Su Shou hadn't been home all day, but he didn't rush over as soon as he heard that he was returning home.

Su Shou said slowly: "It's an official. To be precise, she is the young lady of the Xue family."

Su Yan couldn't help but opened his mouth wide, but before he could say anything, Su Shou had already continued: "You should know some things. It's not that we have nothing to do with the Xue family."

"...Are you talking about the Xue family that was executed and ransacked?"

"That's right." Su Shou said, "Aji is the granddaughter of Mr. Xue Ge. She is the blood of their family who have been exiled. We must rescue her."

Su Yan was a little confused: "The Xue family has come to such an end, and now there is still a blood that is out, which is of course a good thing. He came back as a girl, and we really shouldn't just leave him alone, but why is it because of her? It’s Miss Xue’s family, so we have to save her? And why didn’t I know about this until now?...What’s the relationship between Xue’s family and ours?”

"Mr. Xue Ge is kind to our Su family." Su Shou looked at him and blurted out, and after taking a deep breath, he clenched his fists, "It's a long story, and you don't need to know that much, and you don't need to Make it public, now you are ready to deploy immediately, and keep an eye on all the slaves that the Chang family has placed outside. Also, you go to the Chang family tomorrow."

"Why can't you tell me now?"

Su Yan never thought that the Xue family would still have a relationship with the Su family. Although Xue's case was about to be overturned and he was no longer the rebel who needed to be carefully mentioned, the lingering fear of the Xue family's case in the past few years was still in his heart.

Su Shou is such a cautious person, it can be said that even if everyone in the capital has something to do with the Xue family, in his eyes, Su Shou is absolutely impossible.But now he personally said that the Xue family has a relationship with their family!And be kind to their Su family!

"Because there are too many people and things involved, the Xue family's case has not been settled yet." Su Shou's gaze began to be a little harsh, "The most important thing is to save people and come back. The person who kidnapped Aji must be Chang He, he just hijacked people and didn't directly hurt them, he must have a plan. We have to rush ahead of him and try to rescue people intact!"

"I know it's important to save people, but why is my elder brother always hiding things and always refusing to tell me the truth!" Su Yan was a little restless, "Am I so untrustworthy? Say that I have always been an unreliable person in your eyes?"

Su Shou frowned, looked at him and said, "If you really think you can't be trusted, why did I tell you the matter just now? What's wrong with you?"

Su Yan paused for a moment, then said with a deep breath, "It's nothing. It was because I quarreled with Mrs. Huang earlier, and I was still bored."

Su Shou glanced at him: "All day long, I can't even figure out the messy things in the inner house, and I'm still full of complaints here."

Su Yan's momentum weakened: "Forget it, let's talk about saving people. I don't know what the purpose of the previous two arrangements is?"

Su Shou turned around to face him: "Chang Wei still has a group of followers who are at large, and Chang He is currently hiding among them. This is a huge gang. Last night when Shizi Han and I were guarding Dali Temple, , I saw with my own eyes that some people in the court colluded with the rebels, and went to the prison to meet Chang Wei. It can be said that Chang Wei is not the biggest leader among them. The reason why he got involved was because he had desires, and he Be in a position that can provide convenience to those people.

"Now that Chang Wei has been arrested, it is tantamount to being an abandoned child for those people, but Chang He went to defect with important items in hand, so they have to keep Chang He.

"Chang He himself is just a young child, of no value to them, what matters is what he has in his hand.

"Chang He himself must understand this point. If he wants to gain a foothold among them, he must first reserve the strength to protect the things in his hands. In other words, he urgently needs people now.

"Those people will definitely not be used by anyone, and he dare not use them, so he can only find a way by himself. The only people he can use are members of the Chang family."

Su Yan was stunned: "So I have to keep an eye on the servants who are outside the Chang family. Because the servants who are in the Chang family, he can't get in either!"

Su Shou nodded: "This is just a guess, but be prepared."

"Okay." Su Yan led the way.Then he said, "Then what am I going to Chang's house for?"

"Going to Chang's house is the most important step." Su Shou took out a piece of paper from a stack of documents on the table, "Only in this way can we have a chance to save people."
