Poor Lady

"Wait!" Qi Surong said to Miss Su when she saw a group of family members gather around, "I came here at the appointment of Miss Su, and I was teased/played at your mansion. If this matter spreads out, I'm afraid it will harm your mansion. reputation."

A look of hesitation appeared on Miss Su's face.

"Heh, we all came here as promised, why are you the only one being molested/played with?" a yellow-robed woman sneered.

"That's right." Another woman in red also echoed, "Why do you blame others for your misbehavior?"

"Why do you arbitrarily think that it was my misbehavior? I escaped from the room just now, and you saw it with your own eyes."

"What's so strange about that? You hurt Young Master Cao's eyes, how can you not escape?" The woman in yellow said sympathetically, "Young Master Cao is a son of an official family, how dare you hurt him as a flat girl?"

"He intends to be indecent, I'm just defending myself." Qi Surong said calmly, "Besides, I just used chili powder, which will make his eyes hurt for a while at most."

"Chili powder?" Cao Xiang on the other side shouted while covering his eyes, "It's clearly poison! My eyes are like being burned by fire, and I can't see at all. If you are really blind, what should you do?"

"This matter can be big or small." The woman in yellow said, "Miss Su, don't blame the little girl for not reminding you that Young Master Cao has an accident in your house. If you handle it improperly, the Cao family will not let it go. Think clearly, is it worth it to offend the Cao family for a flat girl?"

When Miss Su heard the words, she was startled and said, "Miss Qi, Young Master Cao was hurt by you. The little girl can't be partial. I'd better ask you to go to the government and let the government handle the matter." Not to mention Cao Xiang's Identity, although Qi Surong is a flat girl, she is also a national embroiderer personally appointed by the emperor. This matter cannot be resolved privately by the Su family.

Qi Surong squeezed her sleeve tightly and said no more. Today's lawsuit, she is afraid that she will be settled. No matter how she pleads, as long as Young Master Cao is seriously injured, she can be sent to the officials for investigation.

"Miss, what happened?" Ping'er, who had just returned from the warehouse, saw this scene, and immediately rushed to Qi Surong's side and asked nervously.

Qi Surong shook her hand, and before she could speak, the servants had already surrounded her, ready to turn her over to the government.

"Don't touch me, I will go by myself." Qi Surong asked Kai Jiading to stretch out his hand and said coldly.

Her eyes swept over the people present one by one, silently reciting their names in her heart, and then resolutely turned around and walked towards the door. Rather than wasting words here, it is better to go directly to the government. Although she knew that she might be scolded in court, but at this time and place, she was too weak to argue.

This is a trap specially designed for her. If Cao Xiang's plan succeeds, her innocence will be ruined; if Cao Xiang fails, she will find a reason to send the officials to investigate. In any case, she was in a dilemma.

A group of people walked out of the Prince Qi Surong's mansion. In the pavilion not far away, Luo Yanyi covered her face with a fan, and a sneering and proud light flashed in her eyes.

Qi Surong was sent to the government by the people of the Su Mansion, and was temporarily detained on the charge of "intending to poison the son of the Cao family", waiting for evidence to be collected. Ping'er cried and went back to report, and Gu Jinyun also quickly got the news from the guards he arranged.

"Bang!" Father Qi slammed his fist on the table, "It's so deceiving, so deceiving!"

Mother Qi said with tears: "I know Rong'er's temperament very well. Although she is a little cold and arrogant, she will never do dirty things."

"They framed Su Rong over and over again, it's really hateful." Qi's father said angrily, "What did our Qi family do to feel sorry for them?"

"Master, what should I do now?" Mother Qi asked.

"I'll go see Su Rong first." Father Qi glanced at Ping'er and frowned, "I don't know what the specific situation is if Ping'er is unclear."

Qi's father asked Qi's mother to stay at home, and brought an entourage to Jingtianfu.

Qi Surong sat in the prison, hugging her knees, her face was calm, and she thought about countermeasures secretly. The most unfavorable thing for her at present is that she hurt Cao Xiang. As long as the other party insists on this, they can justify her crime. More importantly, those so-called "witness witnesses" are either rich or expensive, and their words can influence the prefect's judgment.

However, Cao Xiang was not seriously injured. At most, she would be convicted of one crime of accidental or intentional wounding, with dozens of sticks and a fine of silver taels. She can still bear this little pain, but it's probably not that simple.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the cell.

Qi Surong looked up and saw Qi's father walking towards this side with a gloomy expression under the leadership of the official.

"Father." Qi Surong stood up and walked to the prison door.

"What's the matter?" Father Qi asked directly.

Qi Surong told everything that happened in the Su Mansion, and Qi's father was furious when he heard it.

"Dare Shuzier! He even tried to bully my daughter." Father Qi slammed the door on the prison door, causing the wooden pillar to vibrate slightly.

"Father, don't be angry." Qi Surong comforted, "Cao Xiang is fine, and my daughter should be fine this time."

Qi's father snorted coldly: "If the old man Zhou Du dares to punish you, I must make him look good."

Zhou Du was the prefect of the Reverence for Heaven.

"Daughter, feel wronged for a while, and go save you first for your father."

Qi Surong nodded.

"What? Why can't I bail my daughter out of prison? This is neither a criminal case nor a murder case, it's just an ordinary conflict. The arraignment on the opening day is just that, why should I keep my daughter in the cell?" The yamen said angrily.

The yamen said: "Master Qi, it's not that the villain is not letting go, but that Lord Zhou is not here at this time, so the villain can't call the shots."

"What about the master?"

"Although Lord Bo, Lord Zhou, went out to work together."

"That's a coincidence!" Father Qi sneered.

The yamen said softly, "Master Qi, why don't you come back tomorrow..."

Father Qi stared at him coldly. How beautiful the Qi family used to be, and now even a small yamen dares to perfunctory him like this!

"What if Qi must take his daughter away today?" Father Qi stood with his hands behind his back, murderous all over his body.

The yamen couldn't help but take a step back, clenched the handle of the knife, and said nervously: "Master Qi, this is the government office, please think twice before proceeding."

"You don't want to fight with me, right?" Father Qi suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the yamen's arm, twisted it back, and then quickly took off the key from his waist with his left hand. This action was completed in the blink of an eye, and the other yamen didn't even have time to react.

Qi's father took the key, turned around and walked towards the cell where his daughter was imprisoned: "If you want to ask Qi's crime, go to your family and tell your parents, Qi is not an unruly person, go back and sign a new bail. Documents are."

Several yamen officers looked at each other in dismay, but no one dared to stop them. Although Qi Shuo has no official or title now, Yu Wei is still there. These low-ranking yamen really don't have the courage to fight against him. In the end, they can only watch Qi Shuo take Qi Surong away.

When she got home, Mother Qi immediately grabbed her and asked about the situation worriedly.

Qi Surong reassured: "Don't worry, it's alright."

Qi's father sent someone to inquire about Cao Xiang's injury. This is the key to the case. If it is not serious, it is just a trivial matter;

In the evening, Gu Jinyun came to Qi Surong's room and said to her, "Cao Xiang is fine."

Qi Surong smiled and said, "I naturally know that he is fine."

"But you're still worried." Gu Jinyun noticed the worry between her brows.

"If they want to make things bigger, they won't let Cao Xiang have nothing to do." Qi Surong sat in front of the dressing mirror, spread out her bun, picked up the comb, and was about to brush her hair, took it with one hand, He picked up her hair and brushed her gently.

"I sent a few people to protect him." Gu Jinyun's eyes flashed a little bit of coldness. In order to keep his face, he had to protect a **** who was eager to get rid of it. At least until the matter was over, nothing could happen to this person. Accident.

"Thank you." Qi Surong smiled lightly and stared at Gu Jinyun through the mirror softly.

"Between you and me, why thank you?"

Qi Surong turned around, hugged his waist, raised his head and said, "Jin Yun, promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"If this prison disaster is unavoidable, please don't risk it for me."

"Do you think this matter is difficult to do?" Gu Jinyun frowned.

Qi Surong said: "I'm not sure, but I just planned for the worst in advance. Jin Yun, no matter what the outcome is, don't take risks for me, and don't come to see me. The fewer people know about our relationship, the Qi family's The future will be more secure. You don’t have to guard against left and right, and you don’t have to keep your hands and feet tied. The so-called misfortune depends on fortune, and fortune and misfortune lie in the back, whether this matter is for the Qi family or me, it may be a turning point.”

Gu Jinyun was puzzled and looked at Su Rong without saying a word.

"Can you promise me?" Qi Surong asked again.

"Do you know anything? Or maybe you're hiding something?" Gu Jinyun didn't like the feeling of seeing flowers in the fog.

"No." Qi Surong looked away and replied softly.

"Look at me and say it again." Gu Jinyun raised her chin.

Qi Surong raised his head, looked at him deeply, and smiled lightly: "Jin Yun, in this world, apart from my parents and brothers, I trust you the most. Although I can't tell you for the time being, I will tell you one day. of."

Gu Jinyun looked at her silently for a long time, and then put a kiss on her lips: "I'll wait."

Three days later, two yamen officers came to Qi's house and were ordered to bring Qi Surong to court. The case of "Qi's daughter poisoning Cao Xiang in danger" started today.

When Qi Surong came to the court, she realized that the case was actually being tried in public, and a group of people had already gathered outside the mansion to watch the fun.

Qi's father and Gu Jinyun stood in the middle of the onlookers, their hearts were full of anger. This matter was tried directly and publicly without the consent of the Qi family, without any regard for the face of the Qi family. Regardless of the outcome of the case, it will be a blow to Qi Surong's reputation.
