Chapter 190 - Sounding out the Su Family



When the old butler came out of the Baishou Building, he just saw Dongfang Rui standing alone. He was in surprise. Did Miss Su Li leave?!

“Wu Bin, why didn’t that girl give me the opportunity to say something? She just left?”

The old butler called “Wu Bin” was shocked. He immediately comforted the master. He said, “Master, maybe she is really not your daughter. When that person left, no one knew that she was pregnant. We found that she was pregnant when her corpse was brought back, but it was uncertain whether your daughter... was still alive!”

Dongfang Rui unfolded his right hand without an expression and asked, “What about the jade pendant? How can you explain it?”

“This...”

The old butler sighed in his heart, “Maybe the jade pendant was picked by her. Or she heard of your story and wanted to chance her luck here. Maybe she plays cat and mouse with you. Master, you must be calm!”

Slap!

There was another slap. Dongfang Rui was furious. He said, “Bastard! You stopped me that year and disturb my thoughts now. Are you happy that I am childless in my whole life?!”

“Of course not! Master, I hope you can find the miss too...”

The old butler covered his face and explained immediately. He felt guilty about that. Therefore, he gave up his great future in the Imperial Palace and was willing to be an old servant of Dongfang Rui.

Even if Dongfang Rui frequently beat him, he had not complained these years.

When he personally brought back her corpse, he understood that he couldn’t pay off his debt in his life.

...

“...Lord, do you see half jade pendant on the road?”

Su Zipei trudged to Dongfang Rui. She was dirty and said with a pitiful voice, “The jade pendant given by my mother was lost by me.”

It was her!

The old butler looked surprised. It was the little girl whom they met on the road.

Dongfang Rui amazedly looked at Su Zipei who was crying sadly. He said, “What is your name?”

Su Zipei was puzzled but still replied, “My name is Su Zipei.”

Her surname was also Su...

Dongfang Rui was completely confused. Which one was her daughter?

“My jade pendant!”

Su Zipei suddenly saw a small part of the jade pendant in Dongfang Rui’s hand. She looked excited. She seemed to come to life. She grabbed the jade pendant and ran away.

“The upbringing of this child...”

Dongfang Rui felt a repugnance inside. He thought that his daughter had lived alone these years, so it was normal that she became so impolite.

However, Dongfang Rui really hoped that what Ling Li said was true. After all, Su Li was more like him.

“Master, leave it to me. I will find their origins.”

Dongfang Rui nodded slightly. He suddenly felt vertiginous and was close to fainting. The old butler was scared and immediately supported him.

Dongfang Rui pushed the butler away and waved his hand. He said, “It doesn’t matter. I am tired. Let’s go back.”

“The matter of the auction house—” When the old butler talked about the business, Dongfang Rui had stepped into the sedan chair. He said, “Let Commander Hu deal with it. Just focus on the matter of the jade pendant.”

“Yes, master.”

After Dongfang Rui left, Commander Hu received the message from the old butler. He immediately laughed and said, “Commander Wu, I will deal with it. We haven’t seen each other for many years. How are you?”

The old butler instantly waved his hand and said, “I am not the command now. I have resigned for more than ten years. Now I am an old servant of the master.”

“Command... Predecessor Wu, why did you resign that year?”

Commander Hu sighed. The old butler shook his head and said, “I did make a mistake. The master’s body is weak. I am leaving. Go on with what you are doing.”

Seeing the old butler stoop and leave quickly, Commander Hu had waves of emotions. He was only a soldier following Wu Bin. If Wu Bin did not appreciate him, he would not get the position of the commander of Royal Guards.

“The affairs of the world are inconstant...”

Commander Hu signed in his heart and forgot the matter of taking meat from the square. He strode to the Baishou Building.

Ling Li leaned on the window of the seventh floor and saw them all the way. He knew the reason and looked cold. In the Dasu Town, Su Li was bullied by the Su Family, but he had never doubted her origin.

In other words, Su Li’s attitude of bearing hardships without complaints puzzled him.

Today, it was obvious that there was a story about the jade pendant. It was possible that Ling Li helped Dongfang Rui meet his daughter.

“Ling Qinglan’s injury is cured and has nothing to do. What’s more, he always lets me assign a task to him. Ha-ha... Here it is.”

...

It was easy for Lord Rui’s Mansion to find the origins of Su Zipei and Su Li. Wu Bin knew all about them in only one afternoon.

“The two girls are actually sisters?!”

Wu Bin was surprised. So... did the lady give birth to twins?

No!

Before he got the exact news, he shouldn’t make the master over-excited.

“Tell all the servants not to tell it to the master. I will change clothes and go out. Guard the mansion.”

Most of the guards in the Lord Rui’s Mansion were the trusted subordinates of Wu Bin. He paid much attention to the defense force of the mansion because of that matter. The guards left in the Lord Rui’s Mansion were more powerful than the large group of soldiers around Commander Hu.

Putting on an official uniform of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and making sure that there was no omission, Wu Bin went to the house of the Su Family.

At the same time, Su Zipei returned to the Su House. When she entered the room of Zhu Yan, she saw the mysterious masked woman.

Zhu Yan was so excited that she grabbed Su Zipei’s hands. She said, “Zipei, this is your chance. My efforts were not in vain!”

Su Zipei stared at her mother. She had not come to her sense from today’s thrilling experience.

Tap-tap—

Wu Bin knocked on the door of the Su House. The gatekeeper opened the door with confusion. When he saw an official, he became respectful immediately. He said, “What’s the matter?”

Wu Bin pointed to the roster in his hand and said with a smile, “Is Lord Su here?”

The gatekeeper shook his head and opened the door immediately. He said, “Lord Su is busy. He hasn’t been back for many days. Please come in and wait for a while. I am inviting our master to see you.”

Wu Bin nodded and was taken to the principal hall of the front yard. Then, the gatekeeper trotted off in the path of the courtyard.

Wu Bin looked at the architectural style of the Su Family. He found that although the Su Family was a small one, the layout of the yard was unique. The foster mother of the miss... should be educated and reasonable. So, it was more likely that Su Li was the daughter of the master.

At this moment, there were footsteps.

Wu Bin quickly got up. Su Huanli walked to him quickly and gave a fist and palm salute. He said, “It’s my fault that I didn’t great you in advance. My son hasn’t come back. Lord, what’s your name? What’s the matter?”

Wu Bin nodded as a salute. He gave the excuse that he had prepared before, “It doesn’t matter if Lord Su is at home or not. I am the constable of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. My surname is Wu. Lord Su is an immigrant. The Su Family has not been registered yet. I come here to ask you to register specially.”

“I see!”

Su Huanli saw the light suddenly and smiled. He made a bow with hands folded in front continually and said, “It is really hard to work at night. I am asking all the family members to the yard to register.”

“So great!”

Wu Bin was relieved. Su Huanli was simple. So, it was easy to deal with him.

In a short while, Mam. Su-Cui, Zhu Yan, Li Yuelian, Su Qinghao and Su Zipei came to the yard successively. But Su Li was not included. When Wu Bin saw Li Yuelian and Zhu Yan, he realized that there were two madams in the Su Family. So, it was hard to say which one was the daughter of Lord Rui.

“Su Huanli is 42 years old and from the Dasu Town of the Qinghe Province...”

“Zhu Yan is 39 years old and from the Dasu Town of the Qinghe Province...”

“Li Yuelian is 38 years old and from the Dasu Town of the Qinghe Province...”

“Su Qinghao...”

Wu Bin waited for Su Zipei patiently. Finally, it was Su Zipei’s turn.

“Su Zipei...”

Su Huanli was close to telling Su Zipei’s information. But Zhu Yan interrupted and laughed. She said, “Master, let me tell him. Both Zipei and Li are my daughters. I know their ages best.”

Su Huanli thought it was right. To be honest, he remembered the ages of his sons but was not very clear about the ages of the two daughters. He only knew that they were old enough to get married.

Wu Bin measured Zhu Yan with his eyes. Since Su Li and Su Zipei were her daughters, she must be the foster mother of the miss.

Seventeen years ago, the madam left. The miss should be 16 years old considering the pregnancy of then months. If their ages were different, it would be better.

“Su Zipei is 16 years old and was born in the Qinghe Town...”

“Su Li is 17 years old...”

Wu Bin stopped writing and raised his head seriously. He said, “Is it true?”

Zhu Yan was so scared by Wu Bin’s sight that she stepped back for a few steps. But she nodded without hesitation and said, “Of course. I don’t dare to deceive you.”

“What about the date of birth and the eight characters of a horoscope? Tell me!”

Zhu Yan’s expression changed slightly. She only remembered Su Zipei’s date of birth and the eight characters of a horoscope. But it was useless. She forgot Su Li’s.

Zhu Yan’s reaction made Wu Jin understand the key.

This woman couldn’t tell him Su Zipei’s date of birth and the eight characters of a horoscope. It was obvious that Su Zipei was picked by Zhu Yan!

And it seemed that this secret had been kept by Zhu Yan for many years. Even Su Huanli didn’t know it. It was no wonder that Wu Bin didn’t investigate the Su Family in the Qinghe Province.

Great! The miss was still alive!

Then, he looked at Su Zipei gently, but he did not know that the latter was very happy though she was puzzled on the surface.

After turning back, Wu Bin became polite. He made a bow with hands folded in front and said, “I just asked casually. Since you are not willing to answer me, I will not ask. Mrs. Zhu, my lord will visit you tomorrow, and I hope you and your daughter will make some preparations for it?”

“What preparations?”

Su Huanli was puzzled and scared. Why did his lord visit Zhu Yan and Zipei after he asked a few basic information?

Wu Bin laughed and said, “I think Mrs. Zhu knows it. Mrs. Zhu, thank you for raising the miss for many years.”

Then, he made a deep bow and left quickly from the Su House.

“Yan, what... what’s going on? What does that official mean?” Mam. Su-Cui was puzzled but asked happily.

After that official asked the matter of Su Zipei and Su Li, his attitude towards Zhu Yan immediately became good!

It must be a good thing!

“Alas...”

Zhu Yan pretended to sigh and said, “Master, to be honest, Zipei is not our biological daughter. She is picked from outside.”
