Su Yucheng and Yan Mingjue went to the study, while Su Qingwan went to the backyard.

Now, Old Madam Su is recuperating in the courtyard, and people from other families dare not offend her. Su Qin is even more cautious with her. Su Qingwan can walk around freely in the backyard of the Su family.

Su Qingwan glanced over and said:

"Why do I see so many new faces in your house?"

Su Qin said:

"Some time ago, the servants in the mansion made mistakes, and your father got furious and drove many people out."

“These are all new.”

Su Qingwan frowned when she heard this. Knowing what she was worried about, Su Qinshi quickly said:

"Don't worry, I bought them from a pawnbroker, and the deeds of sale are all there, so there won't be any problems."

Su Qingwan felt relieved after hearing this.

The two chatted about some trivial matters, and Su Qin mainly talked about her mother's family.

Things haven't been going well for her family in recent years.

Su Yucheng had long stopped taking care of them, so their lives were very difficult.

Now, she said all this just because she thought that her relationship with Su Qingwan had eased a little, and the other party would help her family for her sake.

After all, even the common people in the capital now know that Yan Mingjue is the most popular person in front of the emperor.

Su Qingwan naturally understood the meaning of Su Qin's words, but she did not respond.

She was very satisfied with the current mode of getting along between herself and Su Qinshi. They just had a casual acquaintance and there was no need to get too deep into the relationship.

She has seen through her mother's character and will no longer be as open-hearted to her as before.

Su Qin talked for a while, and seeing that Su Qingwan didn't answer, she stopped talking and started talking about things in the mansion.

"I received a letter from the people in Room 4 a few days ago. They are on their way back."

"I heard that your fourth uncle was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel when he returned this time."

The fourth son of the Su family was born out of wedlock. He left Beijing many years ago and has never returned since.

Su Qingwan no longer had any impression of her fourth uncle.

In the previous life, the Su family took the wrong side and was exiled. The people from the fourth branch were also implicated and did not return to the capital. But in this life, they returned to the capital.

Su Qingwan nodded to show that she understood.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then they went out together when it was time for lunch.

Yan Mingjue and Su Yucheng had also finished their talk and came out. There was no expression on either of their faces, but at least Su Yucheng still looked satisfied with Yan Mingjue.

After lunch, the two did not stay long and went back, using the excuse that Su Qingwan wanted to rest.

"How is it? Did you find out anything?"

Su Qingwan asked.

Yan Mingjue shook his head:

"He's very tight-lipped."

Su Qingwan was not disappointed when she heard this, as this was also expected.

My father is better than anyone else at scheming, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the cabinet.

"However, he is very concerned about the assassin this time."

Su Yucheng asked about the Duanwu assassin several times.

Su Qingwan glanced at Yan Mingjue after hearing this, somewhat surprised.

"Could it be that he is related to those assassins?"

Then she shook her head again:

"No, he doesn't have that kind of courage!"

She still has a certain understanding of her father.

He is a typical fence-sitter. He can take sides, but he doesn't have the courage to take action against the emperor.

"Perhaps, he has something on Su Qinghe."

Yan Mingjue spoke.

Su Qingwan immediately thought of the many unfamiliar servants in the mansion, and she hurriedly told Yan Mingjue about the situation.

"Tell me, are those people also remnants of the previous dynasty?"
