93, Suspension
The day after Xu Shu returned, the people from the Song family came. The second day of Xu Shu, the couple of Mr. Song. Including Xu Hui's pause yesterday, Xu Shu was almost certain that something must have happened to the Song family. She was only one month away from Beijing. How many things did she have?
Xu Shu rubbed her forehead, not wanting to inquire. She was about to ignore her heart when Xuexiang suddenly called Xu Shu, saying that Li had something to look for her, "My wife has urgent matters to find Miss Jiu, Miss Jiu will come with me!"
Fu Liu pulled Xuexiang and asked, "Mrs. What's the matter with me? Didn't Mrs. Song Er come? How could Mrs. How could she meet a lady at no cost?"
Xuexiang poked Fu Liu's finger, "You little girl dares to question me, can I still dare to lie to Miss Jiu? It's really a lady looking for Miss Jiu!"
Fu Liu curled his lips, "Miss is making incense, so don't bother me!"
Xuexiang was anxious, "Madam told me that this is a matter of 100,000 urgent, and everything else is left for now!"
Fu Liu was unwilling to disturb Xu Shu. Xuexiang was anxious and was about to pinch her, but Xu Shu suddenly pushed open the door in the inner room, "I'll change my clothes and go with you!"
As Xu Shu expected, she "saw" the second wife of Song Zhou at Li, but today's Zhou seemed to be ten years older. Of course, Xu Shu couldn't see it. She could only infer from Zhou's uneasy and anxious voice that there must be a better fear on her face.
"Why is the niece of the Empress Dowager's birthday to the palace to celebrate her birthday?" Zhou asked impatiently as soon as she saw Xu Shu.
Xu Shu nodded and said yes. Li said on the side, "The Empress Dowager asked Sister Shu to go when she entered the palace last time!"
What Li said was honored, but there was a hint of unpredictable jealousy. After all, as a mother, she did not have the qualifications to enter the palace to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager.
Zhou forced a smile, "The niece was generous and polite, and she was very pleased by the Empress Dowager. She was also a person who could speak in front of the Empress Dowager!"
It's easy to say!
This sentence has a deep meaning. Xu Shu couldn't help but look in the direction of Zhou, through the black and light-free cloth tape, and wanted to see the deep thoughts in Zhou's heart.
Li glanced at Zhou and turned his head away. Obviously, he looked like he was not in charge of his own affairs. Zhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and spoke, "The Empress Dowager is having a birthday this year. The emperor issued an order to hold a big feast. I wonder if my niece has prepared a birthday gift? If not, I have two items that I can take out!"
Today, Zhou is particularly enthusiastic, with nervousness and eagerness, and she completely disappeared from her previous pride and eyes.
"Thank you, my wife, but the master has prepared it for me!" He showed his kindness for nothing, either a traitor or a thief! Xu Shu politely declined Zhou's kindness.
A crack appeared in Zhou's passion, and when he looked at Li, Li didn't speak. Zhou's face gradually became cold and stopped talking. Even if she had something to ask for help, she could not leave people alone. What's so great about the Xu family? If there wasn't a Xu Shu, she wouldn't even look at the Xu family before, how could the Xu family have turned out to be in front of her!
After a silence, Xu Shu said, "Xuexiang said that my mother has something urgent to come to me?"
"Ah... it's something!" Li looked at Zhou again. Zhou lowered his eyebrows and refused to respond. Li was dissatisfied and listened to Xu Shu's question again, "Since it's an urgent matter, mother, please tell me quickly! Don't delay!"
Li made up his mind and pushed the matter to Zhou, "It's Mrs. Song Er who has something to do to find you!"
Zhou had to speak now, but this was fine, although it was embarrassing, it was better than being distressed. "That's right, I heard that the Empress Dowager promised her niece to bring another person into the palace. Is there any such thing?"
Xu Shu nodded, and Zhou finally gritted his teeth and expressed his purpose, "If the niece doesn't dislike it, can she take me there?"
Xu Shu was really surprised now. With the loyal and brave family and the official position of Master Song Er, Zhou was one of the foreign wives who came to the palace to congratulate him. Why did he ask her to bring her into the palace at this moment?
Xu Shu was surprised and Li coughed lightly, "Sister Zuo Shu, you don't have anyone to take with you. I'm relieved to have Mrs. Song accompany you!"
Li signaled Xu Shu to agree, and Xu Shu replied, "Okay!"
Zhou sighed, as if he had unloaded a big stone, and he relaxed, but he only relaxed for a moment and hurriedly stood up and said goodbye. Li wanted to keep her, "Mr. Song is still discussing things with the master, and my wife sit for a moment!"
Zhou didn't stay for a moment, "I'll go and urge my master!" and left.
After Zhou walked away, Li said to Xu Shu, "On the day of the birthday of the Empress Dowager, if you and Mrs. Song Er enter the palace after entering the palace, don't stop him, just do your own thing!"
Li's words revealed the ultimate goal that Zhou asked for, but Xu Shu still didn't understand why Zhou could not enter the palace by herself, but she wanted to ask her for help? Only those who were not qualified would think of another way. However, Zhou obviously should have this qualification. Could it be that something happened to the Song family?
"Is something wrong with the Song family?" Xu Shu asked.
Li paused for a moment and replied obscurely, "I heard from your father that Zhongyong Uncle was involved in a case, and Master Song Er was also implicated and stopped from his post!"
No wonder! Mr. Song Er was suspended from his post, so Mrs. Song Er naturally lost the qualification to enter the palace, so she came to beg for herself. Mrs. Song Er entered the palace to find someone to plead for mercy and clear the relationship, but who was the person she was looking for?
"Will that affect our engagement with our family?" Xu Shu asked again.
Li's expression darkened, sighed deeply, full of regret, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen to the Song family at the beginning. If I had known this, I wouldn't have agreed so easily!"
Li's tone was full of regrets about the engagement with the Song family, and seemed to have forgotten the desire when the Song family made a engagement.
"Since it has nothing to do with Mr. Song Er, I guess it will be fine!" Xu Shu said comforting words that she didn't even believe in her. Since Mr. Song Er was suspended, it at least means that he was also at fault in this matter, but he has not been convicted yet, probably because he is still collecting evidence.
Li's expression did not relax because of this, but instead became more worried. Obviously, he didn't believe Xu Shu's words of comfort, but he couldn't help but hope that this could be true, "I hope..."
If something happened to the Song family, the engagement that the two families had already decided could not be invalid, and her sister Ting could only marry into the Song family. At that time, the Song family didn't know what was going on. It would be fine if it was just a demotion or even a salary, but what should we do if it was demoted or even a title? Will her sister Ting be destroyed in her life in her deceased Song family?
No! No! There must be other solutions!
In panic, Li's eyes fell on Xu Shu, and the flame of hope gradually ignited.
