Three Kingdoms: God-level selection
Chapter 61
During the two days when Su Yan visited Xu Shao, Xu, who was in the Su Mansion, was not idle.
After that day, Su Ping called the city defense captain over and asked him to tell him what happened.
At that time, Xu kept winking at him, hoping that he could speak well for Su Ze.
After all, it was she who sent the housekeeper to save Su Ze in the name of Su Ping.
Otherwise, Su Ze might have been directly arrested and thrown into prison.
So Su Ping was actually unaware of this matter.
He just listened to Xu and Su Ze's crying, and out of trust in them, he subconsciously thought it was Su Yan's fault.
But Su Yan was not afraid at all, and directly shook the matter out, letting Su Ping find a way to figure out the facts himself.
Although Su Ping was angry that he spoke rudely, this Su Yan was indeed different from the past, and instead gave him a feeling that it might be true.
So he personally found Zhou Fang and wanted to ask him the truth of the matter.
Zhou Fang saw Xu winking at her, and pretended not to see it.
Lu Zhi was indebted to him. He failed to help Su Yan that day. This time, he would certainly not favor Su Ze again. He told Su Ping directly what happened.
Xu was anxious when she saw this, but she could do nothing.
She was a woman, and she only borrowed Su Ping's power. Without Su Ping, she was nothing.
Zhou Fang respected Su Ping, but not him. She had no choice.
Su Ping was furious after hearing this. After having Zhou Fang sent away, he directly scolded Xu and Su Ze.
But it was just a scolding.
With Xu's good words on the side, Su Ping would not do anything to them no matter how angry he was.
After all, she was his beloved wife. He wished he could come to her every night for a while. How dare he punish her? He could only punish her verbally.
After the incident, Xu hated Su Yan even more in her heart.
She swore that she must make him pay the price and make him fall into ruin.
Ji County, the backyard of the Su Mansion.
Xu sat dignifiedly in the main seat, wearing a jade hairpin and gorgeous clothes. Her face was no longer charming as before, but she looked dignified and beautiful.
She looked at the immortal-looking old man in white robe in front of her and said softly,"This time, I have to trouble my brother to help with the birthday banquet for the master."
Xu Jin smiled and waved his hand, saying,"No trouble, no trouble, I will do my best."
Xu Jin was Xu's distant cousin, a fortune teller who wandered in Youzhou and Jizhou, and was quite famous.
This time, Xu used her relationship with him to invite him to Ji County just to read Su Ping's face.
Of course, it can't be said that it was true, but it was actually to flatter him.
This person, when he gets old
, likes to save face. It's natural to be praised for having a good life in front of everyone at the birthday banquet.
As Su Ping's bedmate, Xu knew him very well, so she invited Xu Jin to come.
Xu Jin looked over forty years old and had fair skin. He is thin, wearing a Taoist hat, with three long beards hanging down from his chin to his chest. He is elegant and extraordinary, showing an otherworldly aura.
Not to mention his ability, just from his face, he looks like a fortune teller, like a charlatan.
This time he came not only to help Xu, but also to help himself.
After all, Youzhou was impoverished due to war, and there are not many wealthy families. The remaining ones are either in Zhuo County or Ji County.
If he can get in touch with the Su Mansion and let Su Ze inherit the family business smoothly, he will be better off.
Xu ordered:"Come here!"
The attendant immediately walked in, holding an exquisite little box in his hand
""Brother, these are just some gifts from me, please accept them."
Mrs. Xu said with a smile.
Xu Jin took the small box and opened it.
There was a dazzling golden color inside, filled with a lot of gold leaves and various jewels and jades.
When Xu Jin saw it, his expression was dull. Looking at those treasures, he swallowed his saliva.
""Gulp!"
His hands holding the box trembled slightly, and he almost couldn't hold it anymore.
He had never seen so much gold and silver before.
Seeing this, Xu smiled and said,"Brother, you must take it well. These are just deposits. After the matter is done, I will give you rewards."
"What else?"
After hearing this, Xu Jin's eyes lit up.
He patted his chest and assured:"Madam, rest assured, I will do my best to complete your task."
"That's good."
Mrs. Xu nodded, and then signaled the servant to see the guest off.
Xu Jin took his leave, holding the small box tightly in both hands, not daring to let go for fear of losing it.
After watching Xu Jin leave, Mrs. Xu murmured:"Su Yan, you escaped Ze'er's poisoning, and you also escaped the border ambush. I wonder what you can use to escape this time?"
Her beautiful eyes suddenly became vicious.
"Why can you get the support of the Zou family and have a huge fortune, but my Ze'er can't? This is unfair. I want to get it back for Ze'er."
As she spoke, she called the servants.
"Send someone to keep an eye on the inn where Su Yan and his friends are staying, and see if he has a woman with him when he goes out. If so, investigate her residence and daily life for me."
""Yes!"
The attendant left immediately after receiving the order.
""Someone, go and invite the second young master."
She ordered, and soon Su Ze came in.
But at this moment, his steps were unsteady, his face was pale, his clothes were a little messy, and he even smelled of rouge.
As soon as he sat down, Xu could smell it.
Her face darkened, and she looked at Su Ze and said,"Ze'er, have you brought a woman back to fool around again?"
Su Ze's face changed, and he smiled awkwardly,"Why?"...How could that be? The child didn't."
Xu said,"Didn't I tell you to behave yourself during this period of time and not to fool around with women all the time? If your father catches you, you'll be finished.""
"Yes, yes, mother is right."
Su Ze lowered his head and said in a low voice.
Seeing this, Xu sighed and said,"Read more when you have time. You will be an adult soon. When the time comes, I will ask your father to arrange an official position for you in the prefecture. It will be better than Su Yan suffering in the local area."
"Thank you, mother."
Su Ze nodded happily.
Xu changed the subject and asked,"I asked you to invite the celebrities from various counties in Youzhou, and have you arranged the banquet program?"
Su Ze nodded and said,"Don't worry, mother, I have arranged it, it will be absolutely foolproof."
Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said,"That's fine, we have prepared so much just so that you can leave a good impression on your father and then discredit Su Yan."
"You must do your best and don't let me down again. Success or failure depends on this time."
Su Ze smiled and said,"I am grateful to my mother for her wisdom." Xu waved her hand and said,"Okay, don't stand here, go to your father's place, chat with him or something, and leave a good impression on him."
"Yes!"
Su Ze said goodbye and left the room.
