MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 436 Ruin the place
Chapter 436: Ruining the place
Someone trashed the Su family's place.
Du Jingyi was a little surprised when he heard the news.
Jinling City is different from Sui'an City. Here, the powerful gentry of aristocratic families have greater power than anything else. Therefore, even if there are prefects in the Gu family's seventh house and commanders in the city, they do not have absolute dominance.
For example, they will not offend the Su family easily.
After all, the Su family, like the Gu family, has existed since the founding of Jinling City. Although the seventh house bears the name of the Gu family, in the end it is just a side branch.
If he succeeds in ascending to the throne and takes the position of the head of the Gu family, he may have a chance to fight with the Su family, but it is absolutely impossible now.
So, after hearing that the Su family's place was smashed, Du Jingyi planned to go over and take a look at the situation in person, and the eldest aunt also said with a solemn face.
"You and Shaoyu should be careful. Anyone who dares to damage the Su family is not just a minion."
“Don’t worry, auntie, we’ll be back as soon as we go.”
Subsequently, Du Jingyi, accompanied by Yingying and Lizhu, headed towards the place where the Su family was smashed.
Wharf, warehouse.
The Su family is considered a dominant force here, but now most of the warehouses have been burned to the ground. It's obvious at a glance that someone is behind it.
When Du Jingyi arrived, Gu Shaoyu was already standing here. When he saw her coming, he quickly stepped forward and held her hand, and then said with some worry.
“Why are you here?”
“After I heard about it, I felt uneasy, so I came here to see if the general had found someone to take action?”
Gu Shaoyu looked complicated, and the Su family father and son were also furious, but after seeing Du Jingyi, they calmed down a little.
Du Jingyi is not stupid. She can see the struggle in the eyes of the Su family and his son. She doesn't know why she always feels that this matter seems to be related to her, so she thinks about it and asks.
“If my uncle and uncle have something to say, just say it.”
Seeing that she was so open-minded, Uncle Su took the lead and spoke.
"The person who came opened his mouth and said, it was Yan Zhiqing who moved his hand."
Yan Zhiqing? !
Du Jingyi was astonished. Both the Su family and her husband knew what this identity meant, so naturally they would not believe such nonsense. But what made Du Jingyi a little confused was that she had not revealed any tricks, so how could she suddenly do so? Was he framed?
Sit on a mountain and watch a tiger fight?
You want the Su family to deal with Yan Zhiqing?
But now that the Su family and Yan Zhiqing are really fighting, what benefit can he gain from it?
What is the purpose?
A series of questions quickly popped up in Du Jingyi's mind, but there was no result. After a while, she still didn't understand this level, so she asked in a serious tone.
“Where did Uncle Su hear the news?”
"The person who set the fire last night used a lot of kerosene. By the time our people discovered it, it was too late. As soon as the fire spread, the person who came announced his name and said it was the debt owed by our Su family. Yan Zhi You are here to demand justice."
Seek justice?
The other party will blame him, as if Yan Zhiqing and his Su family really have some life-and-death grudge. The Su family and his son knew Yan Zhiqing's true identity in advance, so they knew that the identity of the visitor was false.
But what could be that person’s true identity?
"Do you still remember the figure and appearance of that person?" "The steward said that he was wearing a black robe and could not see the other person's appearance clearly, but even if he did, it would be useless. It would be a lie anyway."
Uncle Su spoke too quickly. Something flashed through Du Jingyi's mind, but she didn't catch it. Naturally, she knew something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Mrs. Su took a look at the situation, took a deep breath and said.
“Go home, we’ll talk about it later.”
"yes."
The carriage quickly carried everyone straight to the Su family, while the Su family's guys were still cleaning up the mess.
In the crowd, a strange face suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, and then disappeared without a trace.
Su's house, in the study.
The Su family father and son, Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi were sitting across from each other. The last time they discussed things in the study room, it was Du Jingyi who revealed his identity, and now, they are still discussing because of this identity.
“Do you think someone accidentally knew your identity and did this on purpose?”
As soon as Uncle Su started speaking, he was interrupted by himself.
"I'm really stupid. I know you are the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, so why would you go against us?"
And such a sentence made Du Jingyi react immediately, and he said with bright eyes.
"Uncle Su's words make sense. Since it's wrong to say it directly, the other party may mean the opposite. He doesn't know that Yan Zhiqing is me, but he speculates that it may have some relationship with the Su family, so through You want to find me, and he should have succeeded by now."
"What's the meaning?"
The Su family's father and son suddenly heard alarm bells ringing, and looked at Du Jingyi in a panic.
Since they learned the news, no one has told anyone, not even anyone at home. But now Du Jingyi is sure that the other party already knows the news about her identity, so he immediately becomes vigilant.
Is it possible that there is a mole around?
The people who have been following them are confidants for decades. If there is really a mole, many of the secrets of their Su family will be leaked, so they have to be nervous.
When Du Jingyi saw them like this, he understood and quickly added.
"Uncle and uncle don't have to worry. It's not a mole, but because Uncle Su said something on the pier just now. It's useless even if you see it clearly. It's a lie anyway. If I guessed correctly. , the person who set the fire last night should be at the scene, so after hearing this, he can be completely sure that the people in the Su family must know Yan Zhiqing's true identity. Even if he can't guess that it is me, he should also guess His coming out has nothing to do with the Gu family."
"What's the meaning?"
"The Su family's belongings were burned all night. If it had been a normal day, we would have been shaking the ground in Jinling City to find the real culprit. But now when we arrived, it was word of mouth among the people. It's just some gossip. The fact that the Su family has such an attitude only shows that Yan Zhiqing's true identity is known to the Su family and wants to be protected. After all, isn't it just our Gu family?"
Hearing this, the faces of both the Su family and his son turned bad.
They hurried away after knowing the news, but ignored that if someone unfamiliar with them made a move, they were afraid that the Su family's death warrants would be flying all over the sky, and they would not be able to wait until now.
So, they also knew that they had exposed Yan Zhiqing's identity, and they felt quite guilty.
