Farming and Raising Cubs (II)

Chapter 203: Hope for the Best

Mrs. Su pretended not to know when she entered the study room with a fluke. She looked at the furious Su Zhifu with a look of surprise.

Su Zhifu took a deep breath and exhaled through gritted teeth. After Butler Sun closed the door of the study room outside, he said, "Zhi'er has fallen in love with Gu Shangqing. Do you know about this?"

Mrs. Su's face changed. Since Su Zhifu asked this, she naturally couldn't pretend not to know.

Su Zhifu was not a fool.

Mrs. Su had no choice but to say, "This matter... I know about it. I have already told Zhi'er about it and warned her. I also locked her up at home for three days. She said she had thought it through, so I let her out."

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" Su Zhifu said.

"Sir, you usually have to worry about big things. Official affairs have already made you very tired, and we are about to go to the capital, where there will be open and secret struggles, and we have to make arrangements everywhere in the hope of getting a promotion." Madam Su said, "I can't worry about these things for you. But the affairs of the inner house are my responsibility, how can I bring them up to make you upset? What I can solve, I will solve quietly, so as not to worry you."

Magistrate Su pointed at her and said, "You can solve it? But have you solved it?"

Madam Su was shocked, "Why do you say that, sir? Has something happened again?"

Magistrate Su told Madam Su in detail about the visits of Gu Shangqing and Li Huailin, the grandfather and grandson, today.

He was getting more and more angry as he spoke. He had calmed down, but now he couldn't help getting excited again after saying it again.

Madam Su also felt that her eyes were black, and she kept pressing her forehead with a handkerchief in her hand.

"You mean, Zhi'er, for the sake of Gu Shangqing, didn't care about right or wrong and attacked Wangyou Xiaojie without any evidence to prove that Li Mumu was the owner of Wangyou Xiaojie?"

"That's fine! But Wangyou Xiaojie is not just owned by Li Mumu alone, it is jointly opened by Li Mumu and Li Zhiyin!" said Su Zhifu, "If she had just slandered Li Mumu, it would have been fine. But now Li Zhiyin has also gotten involved. General Li has come to question me in person!"

Su Zhifu also took out a confession, "Li Zhiyin locked up the couple that Zhi'er bribed yesterday, and asked them to write a confession and sign it!"

"They didn't bring that couple here today, they only brought this confession." Su Zhifu said angrily, "Because of that good-for-nothing, someone has caught hold of me! If I'm not careful in the future, they will take out the confession and find that couple. What career will I have!"

"Where is that couple?" Madam Su asked hurriedly.

"Li Zhiyin is very cautious. She was afraid that I would find them, so she didn't bring them with her! I don't know where she hid them now!" Su Zhifu said angrily, "This is like a sword hanging over my head! As long as I do something wrong, it will be chopped off!"

"You should have told me when she first showed such signs! Instead of solving it yourself!" Su Zhifu said, "Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? A loving mother often spoils her child! You are just protecting her because you are afraid that I will find out!"

"What's the result? You can't solve the problem, and it's getting bigger and bigger!" Su Zhifu said, "Gu Shangqing and Li Zhiyin are right about one thing. Now Su Zhier dares to rely on me to frame and slander others at will. No one dares to punish her. Who knows what she will do in the future! She may even break the sky!"

"I'm just a small prefect. Where have I been?" Su Zhifu said, "Just in Chong'an City, there is General Li above. When he goes to the capital one day, the person hit by a plaque falling from the restaurant may be a higher official than me!"

"It's because you doted on her and hid it from me that today, Li Huailin came to visit!"

Madam Su retreated in panic, "This... Sir, what should we do?"

"At that time, Zhi'er really promised me that she would let go of those thoughts." Madam Su said, "I didn't expect her to be so persistent."

"Who would have thought that she would be obsessed with a sixth-rank general, and a married man. No one dared to believe that she was sane!" Madam Su said.

"So I believed her before when she said she had figured it out, and I just thought she was just blinded for a while." Madam Su explained.

"Come with me to Zhuya Zhai." Su Zhifu said, "That evil creature will never leave her Zhuya Zhai in the future!"

Madam Su hurriedly went to Zhuya Zhai with Su Zhifu.

When they arrived at the door of Zhuya Zhai, four maids were still standing there.

Seeing the two coming, they hurriedly saluted, "Sir, Madam."

"Did she make a fuss inside?" Su Zhifu asked coldly.

"The young lady yelled and cursed for a while, and when she realized it was useless, she stopped talking." A maid replied.

Magistrate Su laughed angrily and said to Madam Su, "Look, she is still yelling and cursing in there. She doesn't look like a lady at all."

"Open the door." Magistrate Su said again.

The maid opened the door.

Magistrate Su and Madam Su went in.

Madam Su was also very angry. She thought Su Zhier had really thought it through.

Moreover, after Su Zhier was released, Su Zhier did not cause any trouble again. She did not meet Li Mumu or Gu Shangqing, nor did she go to see anyone from the Gu family.

Madam Su thought that Su Zhier was probably just a little bit hot-headed before, and now she is fine.

Who knew that Su Zhier would do something big again without saying anything.

"Father, mother." Su Zhier saw Su Zhifu and Madam Su come in together, and saw their expressions again. Her heart sank, and she said cautiously, "Father and mother, why are you here?"

Su Zhifu asked coldly, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

Su Zhier's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Su Zhifu really knew that she had slandered Wangyou Xiaoxi?

But, she slandered, so what's the big deal?

Does Su Zhifu need to look so ugly?

Su Zhier's mouth corners pulled up a smile stiffly, "Just now I heard from housekeeper Sun that my father is meeting guests in the mansion, so it's not convenient for me to wander around the mansion."

"I don't know what kind of guests are coming today, and they have to be so careful, even if I walk around by myself, I can't." Su Zhier said.

Su Zhifu glared at her coldly, "You haven't answered my question yet, do you have anything to tell me?"

Su Zhier gritted her teeth, how should she say this?

She certainly couldn't use the excuse of Lin Zhixian to tell Su Zhifu, and Su Zhifu would definitely not believe it.

Su Zhi'er clutched the handkerchief in her hand, still hoping for the best.

Gu Shangqing might come today to talk about what happened yesterday.

But Gu Shangqing's words were not enough to convince Magistrate Su.

It is very likely that Magistrate Su has come to confront her now.
