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

Su Qishun wanted to leave the Ninth Prince with the impression that he loved his niece, but Su Sui'an had no intention of sugarcoating the truth with him. "I said I hit someone, but I didn't say he was killed."

Su Sui'an spread his hands, "It's Lord Su who accused me of killing someone without even asking. He was afraid that I would be implicated. He even asked the nanny to criticize us for giving that young master some money. As the second wife of the adopted son, it's difficult for our family to live in the Marquis' Mansion, okay? I'm having a hard time in the Marquis' Mansion, how could I have the energy to care about a stranger?"

Murong Qi's face suddenly turned dark.

"Lord Su, this is your fault. I have heard that the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changping likes to do charity, and Lord Su is very supportive of this."

"But when it comes to Miss Su, why does Lord Su treat her differently? Regardless of whether Miss Su hit someone or not, and regardless of who Miss Su hit, just because Miss Su is responsible and generous, you shouldn't discourage Miss Su from doing good deeds like this."

Su Qishun nodded all the way, repeating "yes, yes, yes" all the time, and the cold sweat on his forehead dried and then got wet, and then dried again.

Murong Qi did not look at Su Qishun again, but turned to Su Sui'an and smiled gently, "Zhuang Zhou has been with me since he was a child. You have helped him, so you are naturally half my benefactor. If you have any problems in the future, you can send someone to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to find me. I will promise you a promise."

"Thank you, Ninth Prince."

Unconsciously, Su Sui'an had the support of the Ninth Prince.

The expressions of the others were as if they had swallowed a fly. They looked like they wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

"Since the Ninth Prince has spoken, I will not be polite to him. As you can see, the Marquis of Changping Mansion does not like my second branch living here all year round, so I want to move out of the Marquis of Changping Mansion with my mother and brother and my mother's dowry. I hope the Ninth Prince will agree to this."

Su Qishun's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Su Sui'an sternly, "An'er, don't mess around."

Su Sui'an ignored Su Qishun's words and said, "My mother also said just now that a lot of her dowry has been added to the public treasury over the years, but my mother and I are really weak and it seems a bit unrealistic to leave the Changping Marquis' Mansion rashly. Maybe we need the help of the Ninth Prince."

Seeing that Su Sui'an looked serious and didn't seem to be faking it, Su Qishun became anxious, "You have to think it over carefully, your father is in the army..."

"Hmm?" Murong Qi glanced at Su Qishun. Su Qishun clenched his fists, but still did not have the courage to finish his words.

Everyone in Luojing knew that although the Ninth Prince was not favored, he had the support of King Dingbei.

In recent years, King Dingbei has left the capital and seems to have ignored the military affairs of the court, but the military power in King Dingbei's hands is still real.

Since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, there has only been one person, the King of Dingbei, who can command a large number of troops and freely enter and exit the border to handle military affairs without being suspected by the king.

Not to mention that the Dingbei King and his family are now preparing to return to Beijing...

"We should see what my sister-in-law thinks about this matter." Su Qishun's voice no longer had the aggressive tone it had just had.

Murong Qi turned his gaze to Ji Lanshuang, "Ji, did you hear clearly what Miss Su said just now? Are you willing to leave the Changping Marquis' Mansion?"

Ji Lanshuang glanced at the people in Shoukang Hall who had different expressions.

Thinking of this farce tonight, he also remembered what Su Sui'an had mentioned to him before, that their second branch was almost doomed to a tragic end because of the harm done by the first branch.

The last thought in his mind about the Marquis of Changping Mansion disappeared in an instant.

She closed her eyes tiredly, but her voice was unusually clear, "Your Highness...is willing."

Hong, who had been silent at the beginning, suddenly spoke up, "Ninth Prince, this is inappropriate."

The farce was over, and the atmosphere in Shoukang Hall was strangely depressing.

"What's wrong?"

Murong Qi changed his sitting position lazily, not taking anyone in Changping Marquis' Mansion seriously at all.

"The emperor granted the marriage to the second daughter of the Marquis of Changping Mansion. Now the wedding of the Duke of Gu and the second daughter is less than half a month away. If the second family moves out of the Marquis of Changping Mansion at this time, others will think that we have treated the second family badly without knowing the reasons..."

"Isn't this the truth?" Murong Qi waved his hands impatiently at Hong. "Over the years, you have taken advantage of the Second House so much. The whole of Luojing knows it, but you just think that others can't see it. Why, you never thought about whether you treated them unfairly or not before, and now that they are leaving, you are talking about these nonsense..."

At this point, he glanced at Su Qishun and his wife and Liang with his narrow eyes, and slowly uttered a few words, "Isn't it cheap..."

Tonight, Su Qishun first experienced Su Sui'an's rude behavior, and then was humiliated by Murong Qi. His face had already turned the color of liver.

But Su Kang is still at the border, and the people from Duke Gu's Mansion have not taken any actual action yet. No matter what kind of humiliation he faces, he can only endure it...

I can only bear it for another three months at most...

After convincing himself in this way, Su Qishun slowly exhaled a breath, put on his usual benevolent expression, and looked at Su Sui'an kindly.

"An'er, the wedding date is approaching, and the mansion has already prepared a lot of things for your wedding. It's unrealistic for your family to move out of the Changping Marquis Mansion at this time. We have to wait until the wedding is done before we consider leaving."

"Does the Marquis agree that we should move out of the Changping Marquis' Mansion?"

The result of Murong Qi's interference was almost the same as what Su Sui'an had expected, and Su Sui'an's face finally looked better.

"You have already decided to leave, and we have no intention of stopping you..."

"That's fine," Su Sui'an was too lazy to waste words with Su Qishun, "Please, Lord Marquis, sign a written agreement with me in front of the Ninth Prince. Without saying too much, my wedding is less than half a month away, so our agreement will be signed in fifteen days. After fifteen days, we can leave with all the assets of the second house. During this period, our people must take my mother's dowry list and the list of subsidies and gifts given to my mother by my grandfather and uncle over the years to check them against the accounts of the mansion one by one. If the money is spent on the second house, we will forgive it, but if it is spent in the public palace or other people's courtyards in the mansion, I hope that Lord Marquis will arrange for the lady and other young ladies and masters to return the things. If they can't find the same ones, they can also compensate according to the price..."

"Su Sui'an, do you know what you are saying?" Hong frowned and looked at Su Sui'an with a gaze as cold and sharp as a knife.

"Does the Marquis' wife have any objections to this prince's arrangement?" Murong Qi raised his eyebrows and glanced over coldly.

Su Qishun immediately stepped forward to smooth things over, "Don't dare..."

As he spoke, he tugged at Hong's sleeve inconspicuously.

Hong was still angry, but after Su Qishun pulled her like this, she immediately calmed down.
