C121 Internal Competition (1/2)
Then why?
Su Zixuan contemplated, but still couldn't come up with a solution.
”What about Red Yao?” Su Zixuan recalled that there was also a spy who had been placed in the inner chamber.
Ji Tong thought for a moment before replying, ”Hong Yao said that in the recent days, the crown prince of Shardbearer had treated the second young miss much better than before.” He paused. ”Dong Family wants to continue to be a spectator and has been reprimanded by the Shardbearer.”
”Better?” Su Zixuan lowered her eyes in thought. When she left the capital, Yao Anhui had just entered the room, causing the Yan family to be in a state of unrest because of Yan Yu Qi's act of showing her face.
Ji Tong had told her in the letter he sent her before that Yan Yu Qi was under pressure from the Yan and Yao families and was forced to be respectful to Yao An Hui. Naturally, he didn't treat Su Xue Ming as well as he used to.
Yao Anhui's toil, Dong Clan's fire adding fuel to the fire, and Yan Yu Qi's blind eye. Su Xue Ming had been having a hard time for a long time.
Then why did he suddenly get the attention of Yan Yu Qi and the Duke of Shardplate?
”You think of a way to pass a letter to Su Xueming.” The corner of Su Zixuan's lips curled up slightly. ”Just say it, this big sister here has something to request of you.”
Ji Tong hesitated for a moment. He understood that Su Zixuan wanted to personally get the answer from Su Xuemin, but he still felt that it was risky. ”What if she doesn't come, or send someone to capture Miss?”
There was a smile on Su Zixuan's face that was determined to get what she wanted, but there was still a bit of disdain in the corner of his eyes.
”Don't worry, she won't stop coming to watch me make fun of her.” She paused. ”How could she bear to see me be taken away? She would love to see me run away like a stray dog.”
”Even if you want to capture me, it won't be that easy. You should forget, I still have Prince Jin's men protecting me.” The two secret guards that had gone out to protect her, as well as some people who had helped her along the way.
She had seen all of Chu Yixuan's letters along the way. Chu Yixuan had first assured her that there was no need to panic, and then he had even told her that he would send people to help.
Thus, they were able to avoid the search of the soldiers at the various checkpoints and return to the capital safely.
”Wait a moment. Later, think of a way to give my letter to Su Xue Ming.”
Su Zixuan entered the inner room to write a letter. After handing the letter over to Ji Tong, she let out a long breath and sat down to think about something else.
Inside the Mansion of the Shardbearer Kingdom, Su Xuemin was feigning fear as she watched Yao Anhui barge into her yard.
”Men, arrest this lowly slave who has offended her.” Yao An Hua scolded, but the servants beside her hesitated, not daring to step forward.
