On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

Su Qishun narrowed his eyes slightly.

The middle-aged man who originally looked very honest had his entire temperament changed drastically due to the change in his eyes.

That far-sighted look made him look very much like some of the people stirring up trouble in the court.

If Su Sui'an saw his expression changing as fast as turning the pages of a book, he would definitely sigh - it turns out that it was all the thousand-year-old fox singing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

The Su Qishun that Zhao Qingwan saw was always mild and hesitant, and would even greet people with a smile even when they scolded him.

Now meeting Su Qishun's eyes.

For some reason, she felt a chill down her spine.

She swallowed.

He spoke with difficulty, "Father...Father?"

Su Qishun looked at her with an even more scrutinizing look.

"Are you sure that you didn't exaggerate the conflict between you and Su Sui'an?"

Zhao Qingwan looked away guiltily, not daring to meet Su Qishun's gaze.

In just a few breaths, Su Qishun regained his previous honest appearance.

He stood up and walked to Zhao Qingwan, speaking in a serious tone.

"Wan'er, you are my favorite daughter. You should know what I need now."

"This is an extraordinary period, and I don't want to get into any trouble if I can. I definitely don't want to get involved in any trouble..."

“But, father,” Zhao Qingwan interrupted Su Qishun’s knocking in a low voice, “a few days ago, mother met Su Sui’an in private.”

Su Qishun's face changed, but he heard Zhao Qingwan say, "Moreover, when Su Sui'an said that your daughter and you are biological father and daughter, she didn't show any surprise. Your daughter is worried..."

As if she had made a great decision, Zhao Qingwan took a deep breath and looked at Su Qishun without blinking.

"My daughter was worried that the previous incident had not been handled cleanly, so she found the physical evidence."

Su Qishun was still very confident about Hu Yidao's methods.

After all, he did a very efficient job when Zhao Qingwan returned to Beijing.

But there was one thing that made him undecided after Zhao Qingwan said it.

"Has Hong met Su Sui'an?"

As far as Su Qishun’s current situation is concerned, the Hong family and the Hong Mansion behind them are his biggest variables.

Zhao Qingwan nodded, "Just before the thank-you banquet."

Worried that Su Qishun would start to suspect her, Zhao Qingwan continued, "After the thank-you banquet, I discovered many things were unusual. Later, after trying every possible means to find out, I learned that on the day my father brought my mother to the Marquis of Changping's mansion, he had an argument with my mother... Hong, and then Hong asked the servants to meet with Su Sui'an. Later, there was a series of things that happened during the thank-you banquet that brought shame to the mansion."

Speaking of the thank-you banquet, Zhao Qingwan's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"My daughter doesn't like my eldest brother at all, so how could she do such a thing with him? Later, my daughter found many ways and finally found out the reason..."

"My daughter's incense burner...something has happened to the incense burner..."

Zhao Qingwan's words were straightforward, but there was no change in Su Qishun's expression.

Seeing that Zhao Qingwan stopped talking, he raised his chin slightly and gestured to Zhao Qingwan, "Continue."

Zhao Qingwan's hands tightened slightly, "My daughter has said everything she needs to say."

The room suddenly became silent.

I do not know how long it has been.

A chuckle sounded.

Zhao Qingwan was surprised why Su Qishun could still laugh.

When he raised his eyes, he saw that although Su Qishun had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold.

That creepy feeling on my spine came back again.

She even choked on her breath.

"Wan'er."

"Father."

At this critical moment, Zhao Qingwan didn't dare to show her crying and weak appearance in front of Su Qishun, for fear of offending Su Qishun.

When she called Su Qishun "father", not only did she straighten her back, but her spirit was also completely different from before.

"You go back first. Go spend more time with your mother. Your father has been busy these days and has little time to accompany her. I guess she must be feeling uncomfortable."

Su Qishun's tone was as kind as ever. He didn't even shy away from mentioning Qin Qing and showed a deeply affectionate look in front of Zhao Qingwan.

"It's a good thing that father is busy with affairs. It means he is valued by the higher-ups. Mother can understand that."

Su Qishun just said "hmm" and said nothing more.

Zhao Qingwan left quickly.

There was silence in the dining room.

After a long while, Su Qishun chuckled.

His eyes were cold.

"Su Sui'an... Hong family... thank you banquet... good, very good."

No wonder Hong knew so much. It turned out that she had already informed Su Sui'an, and all the details were waiting for him at the thank-you banquet.

Since Hong knew that his identity was stolen, Su Sui'an would definitely know...

so...

Isn't there a way to kill two birds with one stone?

...

The night is dark and windy.

The wind started to blow in Luojing at some point, making the leaves rustle.

The lanterns in front of and behind the houses of various mansions were also swaying left and right in the wind.

Layers of dark clouds wrapped in lightning and thunder rolled in from the horizon, quickly covering the waning moon.

A white light flashed suddenly and thunder roared.

A sudden violent storm came, sweeping away all the unprotected leaves and branches.

The two lanterns in front of the Su residence's gate were not spared either. They were blown to the ground by the strong wind, rolled a few times and then went out.

If someone who passed by Su's house on a regular basis saw this scene, they would certainly be very surprised.

In the past, let alone such a strong wind, even if there was a heavy rain with lightning and thunder, as long as there was the slightest unusual noise outside, there would always be a servant in a straw raincoat coming out to check, or replace the lanterns, or check the sturdiness of the gate.

However, today, the dead branches and leaves in front of the gate of Su's house were almost burying the gate, and not even a single person was to be seen.

Tingyu Cottage.

Su Sui'an sat in front of the dressing table.

Listening to the whistling wind outside, my heart was hanging in the air, not wanting to land.

Liu'er and Mei'er came back from outside.

He closed the door again with difficulty.

"Miss, Manager Fu sent someone to deliver a letter back. The Madam, the Young Master, and that Sister Rong have all been settled in the house."

Su Sui'an raised his eyes and looked towards the bronze mirror.

The flickering candlelight made her stunning face flicker.

"Has that person left?"

Liu'er and Mei'er looked at Su Sui'an in confusion.

"Miss?"

There was deep confusion in the eyes of the two.

In fact, they noticed something unusual about their young lady after Zhao Qingwan left during the day.

She seemed to like taking a nap, but she didn't even take one.

I just sat in front of the window and stared at the clouds piled up in the sky.

It was not until noon that he asked the servants to go and invite Manager Fu over.
