Shengjing Noble

Chapter 234 Private Visit on Weibo

But this makes it convenient for Su Lanxin.

After all, the clue to the jade ring that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked him to find was in Qiu County, and someone once said that he had seen a similar one in a pawnshop.

Therefore, Su Lanxin decided to go to Qiu County with her father to investigate.

On the other side, the Lu family had already set off with Su Shengyun.

However, they split into two groups. Su Shengyun took his mother and elder brother in a luxurious carriage and took the main road to Qiu County.

Su Lanyin and her third brother Su Shengming took Xiaoyu and A'mo to walk along the small roads to understand the people's sentiments.

Because some things cannot be seen clearly just by standing in the sun.

……

The road was bumpy. Inside the carriage, Xiaoyu leaned in Su Lanyin's arms with a pale face, looking weak.

"This child insisted on following you. If I had known she would be so miserable, I would have let her follow her mother no matter what." Su Shengming handed over the kettle, with a flash of heartache in his eyes.

"Mother and second brother have to take care of eldest brother, so how can they have the energy to take care of Xiaoyu? Besides, she is weak and will inevitably get sick no matter who she follows. At least she can be with me, who knows medical skills, and I can help her recover."

Su Lanyin said as she took out a pill from her waist and stuffed it into Xiaoyu's mouth.

"Xiao Yu, you won't feel uncomfortable after taking the medicine."

"Hmm..." Xiaoyu was very well-behaved. He put the bitter pill in his mouth and swallowed it with a sip of water.

Su Shengming asked in confusion: "Then why not place her with Doctor Xue? I believe he will take good care of Xiaoyu."

Su Lanyin did not answer, but opened the car door and said, "Amo, if there is a village ahead, find a family to stay at and rest."

"Yes."

Seeing that she didn't want to answer, Su Shengming didn't ask any more questions, but his face looked a little unhappy.

After all, one is going on a long journey to do serious business. Wouldn't it be a burden to bring a frail and sickly little girl along?

He really couldn't understand it.

Su Lanyin saw that her third brother was sitting aside with a serious face and no longer spoke, so she patiently explained: "Third brother, the reason why I brought Xiaoyu with me is to help her find her relatives."

"Relatives? Are you saying she is also from Qiu County?"

"Most likely."

"how do you know?"

"Don't you think her accent is similar?"

"This child is usually very quiet. I haven't even heard her say a few words. How would I know?"

"Anyway, I want to help her find her relatives. What if there are any clues about her father?"

"Yeah, forget it, you can take her if you want. I'm just worried that the child won't be able to handle it."

Su Shengming looked helpless, sighed, and touched Xiaoyu's head with a trace of heartache in his eyes.

"Thank you brother..."

The little fish looked at him with a pair of big watery eyes, like clear spring water, so innocent and cute.

"I pestered my sister to come here. I also want to find my father..."

This was the first time Su Lanyin heard her talk about wanting to find her father, so she quickly asked, "Xiaoyu, think carefully, did your mother really never mention your father?"

"Well... my mother... I remember now. When I was a child, my mother mentioned that my father was very powerful and a very tall person..."

"Very tall... Does that mean he is very tall?" Su Shengming wondered.

"I don't know... I was too young at that time and I don't have any deep impression. I just vaguely remember my mother saying so." Xiaoyu scratched his head, looking annoyed and guilty.

"If only I could remember, wuwuwu..."

Su Lanyin quickly hugged her and comforted her softly, "My dear little fish, you have done great. This is a very important clue."

"Really, sister? Can this clue lead to finding daddy?"

"Well, this clue can help us narrow down the scope."

Su Shengming asked doubtfully: "What range? There are many tall men in the world."

Su Lanyin shook her head, her face solemn: "Third brother, this height is definitely not that simple. Being tall is not special for a man, unless he is taller than ordinary people. In that case, such a person is unique and easy to find. However, in addition to being tall, there should be another possibility for this height!"

"What's possible?"

"status!"

"what?"

Seeing that he was still confused, Su Lanyin took out the half jade ring hidden in Xiaoyu's clothes.

"This quality of jade pendant is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford. I think when his mother said it was high, it must be because of his high status, not his stature."

"High status? Ha, could he be a royal relative?" Su Shengming smiled disdainfully.

Su Lanyin did not answer, but she did not rule out this possibility in her heart.

This jade pendant really looks like something used by the royal family.

……

In a blink of an eye, more than a month had passed, and Su Lanyin and others finally arrived at the gate of Qiu County.

Because they took a shortcut and kept changing horses and traveling day and night, they arrived about ten days ahead of Su Shengyun and his group.

The carriage stopped by the roadside, and Su Lanyin, dressed in men's clothes, jumped out of the carriage first.

She looked up and saw a plaque hanging on the city gate tower with two big characters "Qiu County" written on it.

Looking down, there was a row of soldiers standing at the city gate, holding up their weapons and blocking a group of people who wanted to leave the city.

"Please, adults, let us go out, wuwuwu..."

"There is no food left in the city. If we don't leave now, we will starve to death here!"

"My Lords, we are really at our wits' end. Please give us a way out!"

……

The people were all in tattered clothes, kneeling on the ground crying and begging.

But the officers and soldiers turned a deaf ear to it, especially the leading captain, who simply kicked a frail old man with white hair to the ground.

"what……"

The old man couldn't withstand the kick. He screamed weakly, rolled on the ground for a few times, and then fainted.

"Dad! Dad, are you okay? Dad!" A thin young girl cried and rushed over, shaking the old man on the ground desperately, tears streaming down her face.

The captain noticed the girl's pale face, which looked weak but delicate and pretty, and a hint of greed flashed in her eyes.

"Little girl, your father dared to rebel. If you don't want him to be thrown into jail, kowtow to me a few times. Maybe I'll forgive you if I'm happy."

The little girl looked only about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was so frightened that she trembled like a sieve. Her face became even paler than before. She knelt on the ground in fear, clasped her hands together, and begged for mercy.

"Sir, my father did not rebel. Please forgive him. I beg you..."

As she spoke, she kowtowed continuously. After a few times, her forehead was covered in blood, but she still did not dare to stop, for fear that if she stopped, these demons would take her father's life.

The head constable seemed very pleased with himself. He raised one foot and stepped on the girl's shoulder, and commanded her condescendingly, "Raise your head, you little bitch."

"..."

The girl froze in place, head down, not daring to move, not even having the courage to beg for mercy.
