Chapter 269 Mrs. Zhao

After a long time, Mrs. Zhao covered her lips with her sleeve and let out a low laugh.

She tilted her head with an innocent expression, "Xiao Tingchen's murder of an imperial court official is a capital crime. The only one who can help him cover up the past is me. Exchange that bone comb for Xiao Tingchen's life, why don't you do it?"

Su Jiu picked up the bone comb, and stretched out his hand out of the window like a child playing.

The window faces the river.

She tossed the bone comb to play.

Glancing at the exquisite lady from the corner of the eye, she could clearly see the tension in her eyes.

The little girl smiled brightly, "Sister Chen never leaves this comb. To Bantang, this is a very important thing, right? So important, maybe it is the token of Master Chen Qingqiu."

Mrs. Zhao was expressionless.

Su Jiu continued: "Sister Chen told everyone a long time ago that I, Su Jiu, will be the next owner of little Chen Qingqiu, so the nominal owner of this bone comb is me. If I agree to Madam's request, I will give you the bone comb as a gift." If I give it to you, it means that little Chen Qingqiu has changed hands. I will lose control of Bantang.

"It's just that little Chen Qingqiu's rule is that no one can leave any woman who steps in unless she pays her life. Therefore, if I don't have this bone comb, I will die of old age here. Although my wife promised to take care of my little brother Aftermath, but whether there is any aftermath, I have no way of knowing."

Mrs. Zhao held the teacup.

A fine bone china tea cup from the former dynasty, painted with exquisite lotus flower pictures.

If you get it on the market, the collection value can reach thousands of gold.

However, at this moment, countless vertical and horizontal cracks are spreading on the surface of the teacup.

You can get a glimpse of Mrs. Zhao's state of mind at the moment.

"so--"

Su Jiu smiled sweetly, "Madam's request, forgive me for refusing."

Mrs. Zhao put down the teacup.

She gracefully wiped her hands with the handkerchief, and her voice was still soft, "If I promise you, as long as you give me the bone comb, I will let you leave Xiao Chen Qingqiu? After all, you are the smartest person I have ever seen." Girl, I really like you.

"Su Jiu, I have a daughter, her name is Zhao Wuyang, she is ten years old this year. She is very beautiful and sensible, and even knows what liking is. I also have a son, his name is Zhao Shen, although he is only 12 years old, he is very knowledgeable Talented.

"If possible, I would like to recognize you as a goddaughter. Both Shen'er and Wuyang are older than you. As older brothers and sisters, they will play with you and protect you."

Her eyes are full of appreciation and tenderness.

Like a mother.

But what was hidden deep in his eyes was a bottomless haze.

The little girl still had a naive look with crooked eyebrows, "I already have older brothers and sisters."

Mrs. Zhao was persuasive, "Su Jiu, the power of the Zhao family is far greater than you imagined. As long as you become my daughter, it's okay to walk sideways in Chang'an, not to mention Jinling City. Even in the future, you may have To be able to become the princess of the dynasty. And behind all the glory and wealth, you only need to pay the price of that little bone comb."

Su Jiu was puzzled, "But I'm not a crab, why do I walk sideways?"

A crack appeared on Mrs. Zhao's loving face.

She got up and left without a word.

Before taking a few steps, the little girl said calmly: "Ma'am, any woman who enters Xiao Chen Qingqiu must sacrifice her life before she can leave."

Madam Zhao sneered.

Behind her, two hidden guards holding swords and knives killed themselves without hesitation.

Mrs. Zhao looked back, her eyes were cold and seductive, "Miss Su, you probably don't know what kind of existence you have provoked."

With a chill engraved on her charming face, she strode away with Shishi.

Su Jiu watched them go away, silently clutching the bone comb tightly.
