Second Married Dandy: She went crazy to kill the eldest daughter

Chapter 124
Su Chengying is still very busy here. It's almost the end of the year. The tributes sent from various places are many times the usual amount. Su Chengying personally leads people to work overtime in the shop and gets on the carriage every day. When I returned to the Duke's mansion, the third watch was sounded.

Huang Qi, Zhang Ben and others felt sorry for Su Chengying's increasingly thin face and suggested that Su Chengying go back to rest earlier. However, no matter how tired Su Chengying was, she still rejected everyone's kindness with a smile.

Counting the days, the tribute team from the prosperous Tang Dynasty should arrive in Beiliang soon. She had to handle the tribute matters in advance so that she could free up her energy to deal with it.

Qin Zhangyuan was related to the truth about the Su family's annihilation and the Su family's century-old reputation. She could not be careless, and she did not dare to be careless.

And while Su Chengying was still busy in the medicine shop every day, the fourth prince suddenly arrived quietly.

Seeing the Fourth Prince enter the door, Su Chengying had no choice but to put down what she was doing and come to greet him personally, "I don't know if the Fourth Prince came to greet him from afar."

The fourth prince couldn't help but frown when he looked at Su Chengying's slightly rolled up sleeves and her long hair casually pulled back for convenience.

In his opinion, women should dress up beautifully and serve beside men, like Su Chengying...

It is simply unruly and immoral.

"Is it possible that His Highness the Fourth Prince came to my place today just to be in a daze?" Su Cheng reminded the Fourth Prince with a frown as he faced the Fourth Prince who kept looking at him.

She had some misunderstandings with the fourth prince at first, but it was just a misunderstanding. Now she naturally does not accept it, and does not think that the fourth prince has the qualifications and rights to examine her.

The fourth prince suddenly came to his senses and said quickly, "The fourth prince's concubine has been infected with cold recently, but it is related to the safety of the fourth prince and concubine, and I am not worried about the others. After thinking about it, I thought of Young Madam Dongfang."

Su Chengying smiled clearly and told Huang Qi to grab the medicine while asking the fourth prince to wait in the warehouse behind. Now her words and deeds represent not only the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the Su family, but also the face of Dongfeng Yuebai. If If you fail to save face, you will inevitably fall into the wrong trap.

At this time, in the warehouse, tributes sent from various places were piled up everywhere. As you looked around, they were densely packed.

The fourth prince frowned and said, "You can just leave these things to the servants, why do you need to do it yourself?"

Su Chengying smiled lightly, "Now that you have the emperor's trust, you shouldn't be opportunistic. If even I, the head of the family, are careless, how can I expect the people below to be conscientious?"

The fourth prince said bluntly, "Being a slave means being a slave. If you can't even do what the master tells you, you can just kill him." As he said that, the fourth prince looked at Su Chengying with a touch of distress and sadness in his eyes. With pity, "I heard that the people in the Duke's Mansion have always been disorganized. If the father hadn't granted her the marriage, the Princess of the Tang Dynasty wouldn't have had to go to the Duke's Mansion and suffer this crime."

What is this for?
Su Chengying's heart suddenly surged with disgust, but she didn't feel moved. Instead, she was filled with frivolous rejection.

"If the emperor hadn't approved the marriage, I wouldn't be standing here. Please be careful with your words," Su Chengying reminded.

The fourth prince didn't expect Su Chengying's reaction to be so big. He thought...

After thinking for a while, he said, "I just do these servant's jobs for the Princess of the Tang Dynasty, and I feel it's not worth it."

The fourth prince, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and had always been well-dressed and well-fed, naturally could not understand the thoughts of Su Chengying, who had grown up in the military and had a better understanding of responsibility and responsibility.

Su Chengying knew the ideological gap between the two people, so she didn't explain anything. After Huang Qi grabbed the medicine, he handed it to the fourth prince personally and saw off the guests in person.

Standing at the entrance of the shop, Su Chengying stared at the back of the fourth prince for a long time.

Huang Qi asked doubtfully, "Master, is there something wrong with you?"

Su Chengying thought for a moment, then suddenly looked back at the warehouse behind her, "Unpack all the tributes and inspect them."

The fourth prince's concubine was feeling unwell, and there were plenty of imperial doctors in the palace who could summon her, so why did the fourth prince just go out and get the medicine himself?And he even went to her shop specially?
The Fourth Prince himself had just said that there was no need for a master to do anything that a servant could do. In this way, Su Chengying had to doubt the intentions of the Fourth Prince's visit.

Huang Qi and others did not dare to delay after receiving Su Chengying's order, and quickly moved all the tributes out of the warehouse. When they checked one by one, they found a stack of banknotes in the box next to Huizhou.There are actually as many as one million taels!

"This, this is..." Huang Qi was stunned, and his hand holding a stack of banknotes was shaking.

The other people's expressions didn't look good either. The banknotes found in Tugong's box were clearly bribes. If word got out, not only would they lose their qualifications to recruit tribute, but everyone in the shop would also be imprisoned. Strict investigation.

Su Chengying knew in her heart that the fourth prince should have made plans before coming.

After all, there are only two places in this narrow drug store to avoid suspicion: the warehouse and the accounting room, and the effect of these banknotes is the same whether they are placed in Tugong's box or tucked into the account.

For the crime of bribery, it is enough to identify Su Chengying's private money of unknown origin.

She didn't expect the fourth prince's hands to be so fast. When Huang Qi delivered the medicine, her eyes only left him for a moment, and he quietly stuffed the million-tael banknotes into the alley.

Sure enough, the royal family did not have fuel-efficient lamps.

"Master, do we want to report to the official?" Huang Qi suggested.

Su Chengying shook her head, "Since I dare to stuff these things in, it means that I have made all the preparations. I am afraid that as soon as we step in, the people from Fengtian Mansion will detain us all."

"Do they still want to give in and win?"

"What are you afraid of?" Su Chengying sneered, "The emperor has many things to do every day, and it is impossible for him to do everything himself. For many things, the emperor only needs one result."

Everyone was speechless for a moment. Could it be that they had no choice but to bow their heads and admit defeat?

At this moment, a white robe floated in.

Su Chengying looked at Dongfang Yuebai, who was still holding a fan in the middle of winter, and wondered, "Why are you here?"

Dongfang Yuebai said with a smile, "I choked after eating a lot of pastries in the casino, so I thought I would pass by your place to have a cup of tea. Why are there so many people stuck here? Don't you find it boring?"

When the others saw the young uncle coming, they couldn't stay here no matter how anxious they were, so they could only leave and go to several nearby pharmacies to avoid suspicion.

But in the blink of an eye, everyone in the shop was gone. Even the people who came to see a doctor and get medicine were dragged to other shops by Huang Qi and others.

Su Chengying poured the tea herself and handed it to Dongfang Yuebai. She just waited for the man to drink up the whole cup of tea and had no intention of returning the tea cup to her. Instead, he pointed it towards a corner outside the door. Throw it away.

"How long do you want to squat under the wall? Come out."

As Dongfang Yuebai's words fell, the secret guard who had been hiding in the dark limped into the door.

The secret guard first greeted Dongfang Yuebai, then looked at Su Chengying and said, "The fifth prince was worried that someone would frame His Highness the Princess, so he asked me to hide in secret for protection. I will definitely report this matter to the fifth prince truthfully."

Of course, Su Chengying didn't believe that the fifth prince would suddenly show kindness. After looking at Dongfang Yuebai, who had already found a place to sit down, she had an idea.

"Since I want to send a message to the fifth prince, why not send this to the fifth prince as well." Su Cheng thought about it and handed the banknote in his hand out, paused and said, "Just in time, I have something to think about. I want to cooperate with the fifth prince..."
