Thinking of this, Sun Qingqing's cheeks instantly turned red with shame and became frighteningly hot.

Luo knew what she was thinking at a glance and was immediately delighted, thinking that the matter was halfway done.

She couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart: That bitch Liu Zhichun would never have thought that she would get back on her feet just a few days after she threatened her! Now that Xie Xiu has become the eldest son of a high-ranking official in the capital, that bitch Liu Zhichun would probably have to kneel down and beg her to keep this son-in-law!

Thinking of the scene of Liu Zhichun kneeling in front of her with his head bowed and begging her, Luo couldn't help but smile with joy, and her middle-aged face turned into a chrysanthemum with smiles.

Unexpectedly, as she was smiling, she suddenly saw the glaring blood color on the embroidery frame.

Luo's smile froze on his face instantly: "!!!"

She grabbed the embroidery frame and confirmed that it was indeed stained with blood. Then she angrily scolded Sun Qingqing, "Qingqing, are you hurt? Why are you bleeding so much? You've ruined the embroidery!"

Sun Qingqing's face darkened in displeasure. "It's broken, so what? If I were Xie Xiu's mistress, why would I need to work so hard to embroider this thing to earn money?"

Luo looked at the half-embroidered peony. Although she felt a little sorry, she also felt that what Sun Qingqing said made sense. So she suppressed her heartache and said to Sun Qingqing, "Then come with me to Tujiazhuang and we will talk to Tu Yong about this.

He has always loved his daughter and would definitely not want Tu Jiaojiao to be bullied by the little rascals in the capital. As long as this matter is mentioned to him, he will definitely agree!

After all, he watched you grow up, so he must be more confident in you!"

However, Sun Qingqing felt that Tu Yong might not agree easily, and she didn't want to put herself in danger.

So she suggested: "Why don't you go and test his opinion first? If he agrees, I will go see him.

Otherwise, if I go with you and he refuses to agree, there will be no turning back."

Although she was very moved just now, now that she calmed down, she still felt a little uncomfortable doing small things for Xie Xiu.

Moreover, she has already set her eyes on a scholar in the county town. The man is from a wealthy family and is also a handsome man. He is not married yet and is likely to pass the imperial examination this year.

If she could marry him and become his wife, why would she have to be Xie Xiu's mistress? Would she always be a head shorter than Tu Jiaojiao?

So she couldn't go in person for such a small matter, so she had better let Luo go first to test the waters.

If Tu Yong disagrees, she can also claim that she knows nothing about it to avoid making the relationship worse.

Mrs. Luo didn't know what Sun Qingqing was thinking, but she felt that what she said made sense, so she was quickly persuaded. She left with a sentence "Then I'll go and ask", and then hurried out.

After she left, Sun Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, but then her heart became heavy again, feeling both expectant and uneasy.

After sitting there for a long time, she picked up the embroidery frame on the table and planned to clean the blood stains on it first.

On the other hand, Luo Shi changed her clothes before going out, and in order to get to Tujiazhuang as soon as possible, she also hired a donkey cart.

She also wanted to see what the high-ranking official in the capital looked like, but unfortunately, after waiting all the way, when she arrived at Tujiazhuang, she found out that the high-ranking official had already gone to the county government office.

Mrs. Luo felt a little regretful, but when she remembered the purpose of her visit, she cheered herself up again and went directly to the Tu family.

However, Tu Yong was not at the Tu family at this time. He and Liu Zhichun were both at the Xie family.

Xie Xiu suddenly turned out to be the eldest son of Hanlin scholar who had been missing for many years. How could the two of them sit still?

So he rushed to Xie's house as soon as possible and had a formal meeting with Xie Yun.

At this moment, Xie Yun and the Black Kirin Guards had all left for the county government office, and the two of them then asked about the situation of the Xie family in the capital.

This time, Xie Xiu did not hide anything and told them about his pretended amnesia. He also explained in detail the situation of the Xie family in Beijing so that the two elders could be mentally prepared.
