Happy Palm: The War King's Favored Little Doctor Consort
Chapter 71 Skinny Horse Business
When Su Qingli returned from evening class, Yueying was already asleep on the table in the outer room.
Su Qingli woke her up and asked her to go back to her room to rest. She fetched some water and washed up, ready to go to bed. When she opened the door, she found an uninvited guest in the room.
"Your Highness, why are you…" Su Qingli wanted to ask why you were here, but then felt it was inappropriate, so she immediately changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, are you waiting for me?"
Mo Yunting nodded slowly. He went back home and thought about it for several days, but still felt something was wrong, so he came to Baiyun Temple again. He never expected to hear her conversation with Feng Qing.
That day, Feng Qing said that he was a person favored by God, but he could see that Feng Qing was afraid of him. Today, he realized that these words were actually said by Su Qingli.
"I heard you can play chess. Play a game with me."
Su Qingli wiped the water off her face, boiled a pot of tea, and then sat down opposite Mo Yunting, took the black piece, and made the first move.
Mo Yunting followed closely behind. The room was very quiet. Apart from the sound of chess pieces falling, the only sounds were the sounds of lamp sparks exploding.
Neither of them spoke, all their thoughts were focused on the chess game. Mo Yunting was confused, while Su Qingli was thinking that she had indeed shown her emotions on her face today, and her master was right in teaching her, so she thought about apologizing tomorrow.
"The concubine in your house is a skinny girl from Yangzhou, did you know that?" Mo Yunting finally spoke.
"I know. The eldest lady was injured when she gave birth to the Su Qingyu sisters. It is impossible for her to have children. So she bought a beautiful thin horse from Yangzhou and brought it back to the mansion to win over Prime Minister Su."
Mo Yunting glanced at Su Qingli. Su Qingli actually called her father Su Xiang. Could it be that she really was not a girl from the Su family?
"The Lu family has a wide range of businesses, and breeding skinny horses is one of them."
Su Qingli was a little drowsy at first, but after hearing these words, she disappeared completely. Ordinary people would raise skinny horses to make money, but a wealthy family like the Lu family would not be involved in this kind of business to make money!
"I heard that the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital have a hobby of raising skinny horses. Is that true?" Su Qingli asked with shining eyes.
Mo Yunting nodded and said, "Yes, because of the impeachment by the Censorate, this matter has now been carried out in secret. Among the officials' residences in the capital, six or seven out of ten people keep skinny horses."
Su Qingli took a deep breath. There were so many civil and military officials, but 60 to 70 percent of them kept skinny horses in their mansions. If these skinny horses were deliberately trained and sent in, wouldn't that mean most of the evidence would be handed over to others?
Mo Yunting saw Su Qingli's shock and knew she had figured it out. "Apart from Lu Feng, the only other member of the Lu family who serves as the Minister of Revenue in the capital is Lu Feng's brother, who is also his half-brother. He is old and will probably retire. Minister Lu is a popular candidate for this position."
She must not let Minister Lu become Minister Lu, otherwise it will be even more difficult for her to overthrow the Lu family!
Su Qingli's mind began to become active. The skinny horse was a very useful clue. If she wanted to bring down the Lu family of Ruyang, this clue was enough. The key was evidence.
This matter must be carried out in secret, and people in the capital will distance themselves from it. The eldest lady never does things personally, and the people who sent the skinny horses to the various mansions must have no obvious relationship with the Lu family. How can she force the Ruyang Lu family to come out?
The Lu family raised skinny horses in Ruyang, which must be the Lu family's territory. One cannot easily set foot in Ruyang, otherwise one will alert the enemy.
It is impossible that so many skinny horses were obtained through formal channels. Just in case, it is better to confirm it.
Su Qingli quickly poured a cup of tea for Mo Yunting: "Your Highness, are all these skinny horses from legitimate backgrounds?"
Mo Yunting took a sip of tea slowly and said, "If your origins are all legitimate, I won't tell you about this."
