Su Yuan stroked the jade pendant in his hand, and looked at old man Su without blinking.

At this moment, he is no longer gentle and kind, but has the aura and sharpness of a superior: "Are you sure, your family sold another jade pendant back then?"

Old man Su is highly respected in the village, but in front of the princes of the capital, he is just a reckless person.

Cold sweat broke out uncontrollably.

He didn't know how to answer.

Su Yuan said fiercely: "The jade pendant does not belong to your family, you know it well, let me ask you for the last time, did you sell another jade pendant back then?"

What Su Xiaoxiao held was the Zuo Pei, and what the old Su family sold was the Right Pei.

And when Qin Che returned to Beijing to meet the Qin family, he got the right pendant.

Su Yuan said coldly: "Do you know that this is an imperial gift, selling it privately is a death penalty!"

Grandpa Su's legs went limp, and he staggered a bit!

Su Yuan said: "If you answer truthfully, I will not pursue it."

Mr. Su recruited: "I... I did sell it! I sold it with my father..."

In front of a prince, Mr. Su has no power to resist.

Su Yuan continued: "Who did you sell it to?"

Mr. Su replied: "A businessman, I don't know who it is. My father went to talk about it. I waited outside. I heard that person's accent didn't look like a local. After that, we never saw him again. So if you insist on asking me who he is, I really can't answer."

When has Mr. Su been so humble?

It's really depressing to watch.

Su Yuan said again: "Where did the jade pendant you sold come from?"

Li Zheng looked nervously at Mr. Su, he had a vague guess in his heart, but he didn't want to face it directly.

After all, this is someone he and the whole village have respected for thirty years...

Grandpa Su clenched his fist secretly.

He began to regret today's plan.

If he had known earlier that he would run into a nobleman from the capital, he would never go to Xiao Su's house to die.

Old Man Su closed his eyes and said, "Yes, it fell from Su Cheng... He was still young, so he picked up half a rotten steamed bun from somewhere, and was robbed by some victims before he ate it. The jade pendant...was dropped at that time."

Su Yuniang said: "If you see it, you don't step forward to stop it?"

Grandpa Su said, "Can we handle so many victims?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Then you picked up my father's things but didn't return them to him, how is that different from stealing?"

Grandpa Su's face turned blue and red.

It's too late to regret it now, the face of the old Su family has been torn apart by this nobleman from the capital.

He is so proud of his virtue and prestige, but in the face of absolute power, he is so vulnerable!

He is like the frog in the pond, so what if a group of small fish and shrimp have admired him for many years?

A falcon flies from the sky, and with a flap of its wings, it can lift the entire pond!

He looked at Su Cheng again.

Su Cheng was stunned, totally out of the ordinary.

Mr. Su thought of what the nobleman said again, this is a gift from the emperor.

If this is an imperial gift, then what is the origin of Su Cheng who owns the imperial gift?

He seemed...wrong all along.

He was wrong, and so was his father.

They thought the child would not survive.

If they had known today, they should have adopted Su Cheng——

Mr. Su's thoughts have never been so chaotic, and countless absurd thoughts popped up in his mind.

It's just that it's too late to say anything now.

"Zheng Guang, take people down first."

"yes!"

Zheng Guang took Lao Su's family away.

Su Yuan had something more important to prove, so he turned his head to look at Su Cheng's eyebrows and eyes that were exactly the same as those of his aunt: "Where did your jade pendant come from?"

Su Cheng said generously, "Oh, I picked it up."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Su Yuan's eyes: "Where did you pick it up?"

Su Chengdao: "I don't remember, anyway, as long as I can remember, I have this jade pendant on my body."

These words made Su Yuan's eyes light up again: "Could it be...you didn't pick it up?"

Su Cheng scratched his head: "I just heard you say that this stuff has a lot of background, I didn't pick it up, could it be my own? I'm not afraid of your jokes, I was a cow herder when I was young!"

Hearing that Su Cheng grew up herding cattle, for some reason, Su Yuan's heart suddenly throbbed: "Where are your parents?"

Su Chengdao: "I have no parents."

Su Yuan was taken aback.

Su Xiaoxiao explained: "Thirty years ago when there was a famine, my father was living here. He can remember very little about his childhood. In fact, I also suspected that this jade pendant belonged to my father, but , just now you said it was a gift from the imperial court, then it should not be."

No matter what, it's impossible for her father to have anything to do with the royal family, right?

Su Yuan hurriedly said: "It's not a gift from the emperor, I was just trying to scare that family."

Uh, so dark-bellied?

Su Xiaoxiao said: "So you just wanted to rescue us?"

Of course, Su Yuan didn't do it all to save Xiao Su's family, but there were some things he couldn't say yet.

He looked at Su Cheng again, "May I take the liberty to ask, when is your birthday?"

...

ridge.

Wei Ting was helping Old Li to plow the land.

Old Li accidentally dodged his waist, and Wei Ting passed by, so he came to help for a while.

In fact, he didn't know how to plow the land. It was his donkey who took the Li family's ox to plow.

Needless to say, the plow was pretty straight.

It was getting late at the moment, and there were no other folks in the field.

"grown ups!"

Yu Chixiu performed lightness kung fu and came over.

Wei Ting threw the whip to him.

Yu Chixiu frowned: "My lord, I'm not here to plow the field!"

Wei Ting said lightly: "Now it is."

Yu Chixiu: "..."

"My lord, I have something to report!"

"You better have business."

Wei Ting didn't want to hear about those bum pains, chest pains, impure stories.

Yuchi corrected his expression and said: "Of course it's business! My lord, your father-in-law went to rob someone again and came back!"

Wei Ting: "What do you mean again?"

Yu Chixiu automatically skipped the proposition: "My lord, who do you think he robbed this time? It was Su Yuan! You guessed right, my lord! It's the Su Yuan from Zhenbeihou's mansion!"

Wei Ting paused.

Yuchixiu said: "My lord! Go down and kill him!"

Can't kill Xiao Chonghua, at least let him kill Su Yuan!

Otherwise, life would be so boring!

He is a killer, a killer!

"My lord, kill me? If you don't kill me, Su Yuan will see you in a while, and you will be exposed! Xiao Chonghua found you and didn't say anything, because he wanted to get rid of you secretly. Su Yuan is different, he will go back to the capital to sue! "

Wei Ting was thoughtful.

Yu Chixiu persevered.

"My lord, do I need to remind you that you should be cultivating at the Hu Guolong Temple in the capital?"

"Although it is a cultivation practice with hair, it is also a cultivation practice!"

"Or should I be my lord, Monk Xuanxin? Master Xuanxin?"

...

After leaving the small Su family, Su Yuan's mood could not be calm for a long time.

Zheng Guangdao: "Master, you just fell ill, let's go to the inn to rest for the night."

"No." Su Yuan adjusted his breathing, trying not to sound so trembling, "Go back to Fucheng!"

"But you—"

Zheng Guang wanted to say that you escaped death by a narrow margin, and the repeated trips would be too much for you.

But listening to the chaotic breath in the carriage, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

He entered the mansion at the age of thirteen and worked as a servant for the eldest son, which lasted for twenty years.

He knew Shizi very well, unless something serious happened, he would not be so emotional.

The two returned to their ancestral home in Fucheng overnight.

The cart was pulled by a first-class war horse, which was faster than ordinary carriages. In the middle of the night, Su Mo heard the report from his servants——The uncle is back.

Su Mo hurriedly put on his clothes and went to see his father.

"Father, you rushed back overnight, but did you invite Imperial Physician Fu?"

Imperial Physician Fu faked his death back then and left Beijing, and even the Third Highness was kept in the dark. If it wasn't for Zhenbei Hou Youhui's relationship with Mrs. Huijue, I am afraid that he would not have learned the real news about Imperial Physician Fu.

Su Yuan hadn't slept all night, his body was tired, but his eyes were piercing and bright.

Su Yuan said: "Emperor Fu's place... I'm one step too late, he's already passed away."

Su Mo said: "What? Isn't grandfather..."

Su Yuan waved his hand: "The son of Imperial Physician Fu has inherited his medical skills. Don't worry about your grandfather's illness. I have another urgent matter to tell you."

The last time my father was so solemn was his marriage to the daughter of the Lin family.

"Father."

Su Yuan told his son about the jade pendant.

Su Mo was shocked: "Father means... Qin Che..."

Su Yuan said: "It's hard to say now."

This thing is too big.

So big that Su Yuan himself couldn't believe it.

If Qin Che brought back the jade pendant he recognized, it was really the one sold by the old Su family, then things would be tricky.

In all fairness, he didn't want to doubt Qin Che, but Su Cheng's facial features and eyes were too similar to his aunt's, and the little girl also had a bit of the shadow of her aunt when she was young.

And when he was at Xiao Su's house, the indistinct intimacy that rose from the bottom of his heart——

"Su Cheng's birthday is also the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month..."

Too many coincidences.

Su Mo asked suspiciously: "But, if he is... why did he change his name to Su Cheng?"

Su Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, he doesn't remember much about what happened before he was six years old. But Mo'er, the first time I saw that girl, I thought of my aunt, and when I saw Su Cheng, I..."

Realizing that his words were too absolute, Su Yuan closed his eyes and calmed down.

Su Mo pondered: "Father, with all due respect, could there be something in it..."

Su Yuan said: "Are you referring to a conspiracy?"

Su Mo didn't deny it: "The matter is important, father, we must be cautious."

This is not only a matter of the Su family, but also concerns the entire Qin family.

Su Yuan thought for a while, and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable... Then, you immediately fly a pigeon to pass the letter and report this matter to your grandfather."

Su Mo said: "Father, we don't need to check it any more, we will tell grandfather after we check it?"

Su Yuan's attitude was very firm: "Report to your grandfather first, if you want to investigate, you can also send someone to investigate."

Su Mo replied: "Understood, father!"
