Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Zhao Liangchen was ordered to take the list and go shopping. At this time, the things that Su Qin had bought before were delivered one after another.

Zeng Lao took her to the east wing and said, "These two rooms are connected. You can live here first. The west wing is a storage room and a kitchen. There's hot water in the kitchen. You can wash up first. If you need anything, just tell me."

Su Qin nodded: "Okay, thank you grandpa."

Mr. Zeng: "Okay, clean it up yourself."

Su Qin put down her things and looked around the room first. The two rooms in the east wing were connected. The outer room had a bookcase and a table and chairs, which could be used as a study. The inner room had a bed, a wardrobe, and a dressing table. The furniture in the entire room was women's style. Su Qin touched it and found it was all new.

It seems that this was specially prepared for her, but I don’t know whether it was prepared by Mr. Zeng or Zhao Liangchen.

Su Qin didn't have time to think about these things. She first spread the bedding, placed her grandmother's ashes, lit incense and paid tribute, then took out the newly bought cloth and quickly cut out the shapes of underwear and a middle shirt and sewed a new set of clothes.

Her old clothes are so dirty that they can't be worn anymore. She just bought an outer shirt but not a base layer, so she only wears the ones she makes herself.

She didn't want to wash herself and then wear dirty clothes, so she could only make a set of clothes first. Because she needed to be quick, she could only sew it simply with thick stitches. She didn't care about the style or quality. She would work on it slowly when she had time.

After sewing the clothes, she went to the kitchen to get some hot water, brought it to her room, and took a comfortable hot bath in the newly bought bathtub.

Soaking in the hot water, she sighed in comfort. After more than two months, she could finally live a normal life.

She leaned her head against the wall of the barrel and thought about what to do next. Her decision to recognize Zeng Lao as her grandfather was not impulsive.

At first she wanted to run away, but then she thought about it. She had no legal identity and no pass, so how could she run away? If she ran away, she couldn't stay in a hotel, buy a house or land, so how could she survive? She was a sinner and could only live in hiding.

Moreover, as a woman without any identity or backing, it would be very dangerous for her to live alone. She might encounter bandits or human traffickers on the road, and it would be even worse if she was sold to a brothel.

Although it is also very dangerous to stay in Shangjing City, it seems that Zhao Liangchen's attitude towards her is to adopt a conciliatory policy and will not use force against her. It is safe to stay here for the time being.

On the way here, she and Zhao Liangchen had already learned about Zeng Xian. He was a famous Confucian scholar in the capital, highly learned and prestigious, but he hated the darkness and intrigue of officialdom, and did not like socializing with literati. He just studied hard and it was a coincidence that he was able to teach Zhao Liangchen.

Su Qin felt that such a person should not be a very bad person, at least not a sinister villain. With such a great scholar as her grandfather, even if she had a formal identity, those who wanted to bully her would think twice.

Moreover, she could see that Zhao Liangchen respected this teacher very much. People in ancient times emphasized respecting teachers and would not disobey their teachers unless there were special circumstances.

If she became Zeng Xian's granddaughter, Zhao Liangchen would be hesitant to do anything to her. As long as he didn't kill her directly, she could buy time to plan carefully and see how to get a legal identity and leave here smoothly and safely.

Her only goal is to survive, so she has to curry favor with Zeng Xian and use him as her shield.

Curbing people's favor is her forte. Ever since her parents died in an accident and she was taken care of by her relatives in turn, she learned how to hide her emotions and how to curry favor with people so that they would willingly support her and pay for her studies.

After figuring out what to do next, she didn't waste any time and quickly washed herself, changed into new clothes, and dressed herself up.

When she went out, Zhao Liangchen had already returned. The moment he saw her, Zhao Liangchen was obviously stunned.

Su Qin is very different from the one I met before, not in appearance, but in feeling.

Whenever we met before, Su Qin behaved strangely and not elegantly. She looked very rough and didn't look like a lady from an official family, or even a woman at all.

But now Su Qin was wearing a simple plain dress, with half of her hair loose and the other half tied up, with a simple green jade hairpin inserted in it, and small green jade earrings on her ears. Her face was very small, fair and clean, with bright almond eyes. She just stood there obediently and looked no different from the ladies from the capital. Zhao Liangchen felt extremely torn apart, as if today was the first day he met Su Qin.

Su Qin saw Zhao Liangchen staring at her, looked down at herself and asked doubtfully, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Liangchen hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's fine, but I didn't expect you to look like this. I'm a little uncomfortable."

Su Qin smiled slightly: "I am usually like this, but I had to disguise myself for safety when I was fleeing."

Zhao Liangchen nodded: "You did the right thing."

He didn't know why he was very comfortable talking to Su Qin before, but he felt awkward talking to Su Qin now. He changed the subject uncomfortably, pointing to the things he bought and asked, "Look at these things I bought, right? I haven't bought them before, so I don't know if they are good."

Su Qin went forward and looked through the dishes. Although some of them were no longer fresh, Su Qin did not complain. Instead, she praised them, "They are all correct and good. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Liangchen felt even more uncomfortable being praised. He coughed lightly and asked, "What dishes are you making? What can I help you with?"

Su Qin shook her head: "No need, you go and accompany grandpa, I'm not used to being disturbed when I'm cooking."

Zhao Liangchen: "Oh, then I'll go see the teacher first. Call me if you need anything."

After saying this, he ran away. Since he was a child, he had spent all his time studying and practicing martial arts in order to gain his father's attention. He had no time to interact with ladies from wealthy families. So when Su Qin became polite, he really didn't know what to say.

Zhao Liangchen entered Zeng Lao's room and said, "Teacher, let me play chess with you."

Zeng Lao had been watching through the window, so he heard what they said. He motioned Zhao Liangchen to sit down and said, "I never thought that I would find a treasure and have a granddaughter at my age."

Zhao Liangchen: "Teacher, you've only met her once and don't know her well enough. Do you really want to adopt her as your granddaughter?"

Zeng Lao glared at him: "How can I lie at my age? Whether I understand or not has nothing to do with how many times I have seen you.

Some people know a person by appearance but not by heart, and you may not truly understand him even after spending more than ten years with him. Some people are simple and clear at a glance, and you know what kind of person he is at a glance.

This girl is such a simple person. Her eyes are clear and bright, revealing a kind of determination. As long as you are sincere to her, she will definitely return your absolute sincerity. But don't think she is a fool without any scheme. She can find here from Chanzhou alone and accept the reality so quickly. She is not a person without any scheme.

This girl is extraordinary; she is smart, resilient, persevering, and knows how to act appropriately. She is a real talent."

Zhao Liangchen thought of his family. In his previous life, he had been wholeheartedly treating them for the past twenty or thirty years. He wanted to be loved by his father, recognized by his mother, and do something for his family. To this end, he worked hard and climbed up continuously. He originally thought that his family also recognized him and saw his efforts.

But it was not until his death that he realized how ridiculous he was. Those so-called family members never treated him as a family member. His father regarded him as a shame, his mother hated his existence, and his brothers and sisters treated him as if he did not exist. From the beginning to the end, he and they had only used him.

Do you really understand how long it takes for someone to not be with you?

"The teacher is right."

Zeng Lao asked him, "When do you plan to explain the dispute between you and the Su family to Su Qin?"

Zhao Liangchen: "I'm trying to find a way to rescue the Su family. Once they're all safe, I'll take responsibility and apologize."

Zeng Lao: "If you can't save the Zhao family, do you want to keep it a secret from Su Qin for the rest of your life?"

Zhao Liangchen shook his head. "No, I won't hide it from her. It's just that we just met and haven't built trust yet. I'm afraid that if I tell her, she won't believe me anymore. What if she insists on leaving? If she leaves, I won't be able to protect her."
