Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 167 Inexplicable Sourness

Thinking that he studied hard for several years before he entered the official career through the imperial examination. He originally had a bright future, but he was implicated because of the defeat of the Mu family.

But now, if he is careless, he may be implicated by Mu Xiuzhu again, and he will not even be able to keep this little servant.

How willing he is!
It was the Mu family who owed him first, so it is understandable for him to think of something for himself now.

Han Hui's expression was certain, and he gradually became more confident.

He cupped his hands towards Su Xin, and begged: "I also ask my virtuous brother to help introduce me, I am very grateful to you!"

Seeing this, Su Xin laughed loudly and said: "Brother Han really figured it out, if you are not happy for your brother, you should do your best!"

Hearing his promise, Han Hui felt much more relieved, and then smiled and said, "Before I heard that the younger brother was estranged from the Seventh Prince, but I didn't expect it to be a lie. The rumors are indeed unbelievable!"

Su Xin smiled calmly when he heard the words, and said: "It's not fake, my younger brother has indeed drawn a clear line with the Seventh Prince."

Han Hui was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized that he thought he had figured out the key point: "Your brother is estranged from the Seventh Prince on the surface, but in fact he is still working secretly. This move is very clever!"

Su Xin smiled inscrutablely, neither admitting nor denying it.

Han Hui was even more determined.

In the Xiaokua courtyard, Su Jingning had just woken up after taking a nap, when Nian Qing came back and said: "The concierge said they didn't receive invitations from anyone, and there are no guests in the house today."

Su Jingning was combing her hair, when she heard the words, she put down the comb.

Obviously she saw Han Hui coming, but the concierge said that there were no guests. It seemed that this meeting was deliberately avoiding people.

Su Xin, as the actual person in charge of the Su Mansion, quietly picked someone up from the corner gate, but it was a piece of cake.

It's just that what will happen to the two of them that they have to go back and forth to discuss things behind their backs?
Su Jingning inevitably thought of her uncle.

Just after Mu Xiuzhu had an accident in Taihe Mansion, Han Hui rushed to find Su Xin, which is really intriguing.

Considering Han Hui's betrayal in her previous life, Su Jingning faintly felt worried. Was Su Xin involved in this?

Her uncle is cruel and merciless, and has always been unpredictable.

The previous Taoist priest Jia Shifang fell into his hands and there was no news from him. Dan Yun was probably ordered by him to hang himself on the tree. In the beginning, Nurse Yan was kicked in the heart by him and then kicked again. Beat to death with a stick...

This is only what Su Jingning knows, how many don't know?

If Su Xin is also involved in this...

Su Jingning couldn't help but frowned, feeling quite tricky.

Not only is this uncle difficult to deal with, but also because of the relationship between the two.

Both of them are from the Su family, if they want to pull him off the horse, if they don't know how to do it well, they will implicate herself, which is not easy.

Su Jingning was thinking about something, Nianyu stepped forward to take the comb in her hand and brushed her hair quickly.

As soon as it was packed, Mother Jiang came.

She was ordered to pass on He's words.

"It's been an eventful season recently, and it's a little chaotic outside, so it's not safe. The old lady has sent someone to Qingyun Temple to ask for leave for the third lady. Recently, she has wronged the third lady to stay at home and not go out." Jiang Nanny said tactfully.

In fact, what He was talking about was that Mu Xiuzhu dared to detain an official of a province so boldly. The entire officialdom was offended by him, and there would be no good end in the future. Then the Su family, especially Su Heng and Su Jingning Father and daughter have to stay far away from the Mu family, so as not to be involved.

It's just that it's hard for Mother Jiang to say these things, so she picks up some more gentle words to say.

Of course Su Jingning understood He's actual meaning, because she had seen through her grandmother long ago, she was not angry, and readily agreed.

On the contrary, Mammy Jiang thought of the relationship between the two of them, and before leaving, she comforted: "Miss San, don't worry too much, uncle and master will be fine."

Su Jingning thanked her with a smile, and sent her all the way to the gate of the courtyard.

After the people left, Nian Qing said with a displeased face: "Uncle is not doing well now, our family can't wait to go away so much, it's really ruthless."

Su Jingning slightly hooked the corners of her lips, showing a touch of sarcasm, "Isn't this expected?"

A loving and righteous family will not marry a princess to their son for the sake of prosperity and wealth even though they have a daughter-in-law.

At night, Shen Lingze came to the door again.

Su Jingning had expected him to come, so she kept the door open and did not go to sleep.

When Shen Lingze came in, he saw Su Jingning bending over the table and carving a seal.

He waved lightly to Nian Yu who came forward to salute, and stood in front of Su Jingning to watch her engrave the seal, and took over Nian Yu's miscellaneous work by the way.

Su Jingning had sensed that he was coming, and seeing that he was silent, she just wanted to finish carving the chapter, so she didn't stop, and let him help.

Fortunately, it has reached the final stage, and it won't take long, just a chapter engraving will be enough.

Su Jingning took the chapter and dipped it in the ink pad and firmly pressed it on the white paper that had been placed aside.

"At ease." Shen Lingze took the paper, looked at the bright red mark on it and said softly.

"Yes." Su Jingning nodded and said with a smile: "This is for my third cousin, and it will be his birthday soon."

Shen Lingze raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and looked at the seal in Su Jingning's hand with inexplicable jealousy.

"Don't tell me, Ah Ning, I almost forgot that my birthday is coming soon!" He sighed faintly.

"Really? When is the eldest son's birthday?" Su Jingning was a little surprised.

Shen Lingze replied, "April [-]."

He looked at Su Jingning with a hint of hope in his eyes, "I haven't received Ah Ning's stamp yet!"

"Why is it so difficult? I'll just carve one for your son." Su Jingning immediately agreed without thinking too much.

Shen Lingze felt happy unconsciously when he heard the words, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes.

"What characters do you want engraved?" Su Jingning asked.

"Mingzhi." Shen Lingze replied without thinking, "Just engrave my words."

Seeing Su Jingning looking over, he smiled and said, "I happen to be short of a private seal."

Su Jingning nodded and remembered it in her heart, and began to pack her things.

Shen Lingze helped them out, and the two sat down to talk about business.

"Your Majesty, do you know what's going on with my uncle?" Su Jingning asked first.

Shen Lingze nodded and said: "Xiaochi just sent back the news that your uncle has taken the prefects of Heqing and Guangming to Hexi Prefecture, and now he is being imprisoned with Yuan Tingji, the prefect of Hexi Prefecture."

"As for the prefects of the other two prefectures, even the officials below are only placed under house arrest in their respective prefectures, under the supervision of others, but it does not affect the daily work."

It wasn't that everyone was arrested, as the rumors said.

Su Jingning felt a little relieved when she heard the words, it seemed that her uncle still had calculations in his heart.
