C142 Friends Meet

Su Zixuan had stopped worrying about this matter after seeing Su Xuemin, and was busy dealing with the matters below.

During the time that the Su Clan was in prison, all of the shops in the capital had been halted because of this matter. Seeing that the Su Clan's momentum was gone, many people left.

They left behind a pile of mess for them to clean up. The registration of manpower and loss were big accounts.

Everything else was fine as well. After all, the Su Clan's property was spread all over the country. If it was stopped, it would be a huge blow to Da Qi's business.

On this day, she was busy dealing with the matter when Lucky stood beside her and announced, "Miss, someone from the gatehouse has delivered a letter and entered."

Lucky handed the card over to Su Zixuan.

A few large golden words fell into Su Zixuan's eyes. The eyes that had been a bit mechanical due to being busy for the past few days finally regained some spirit.

The next day, as soon as the carriage stopped in front of the Su Clan's gate, the charming young girl immediately got off the carriage and walked inside without stopping for a moment.

"Sister Su, Sister Su." Li Shiyun's voice came from the outside, even faster than the report from the gatekeeper. Qing Yue rushed over to welcome him.

Su Zixuan was washing her hands. Her hands were stained with ink, making them difficult to wash. She was carefully washing them with soap.

When Li Shiyun saw Qing Yue, he slowed his steps and followed her into the inner room.

"Elder sister." Although Li Shiyun had arrived in a flurry of emotions, she couldn't help but feel scared when she saw Su Zixuan.

"What are you standing there in a daze for? Come on in." Lucky was still waiting on Su Zixuan's hands, but he couldn't step forward to greet it. All he could do was call out to her.

The sweet smell of soap filled the entire place. When Li Shiyun saw Su Zixuan and his gang dressed in their usual attire with a familiar smile on their faces, she actually couldn't hold back her tears for a while.

Su Zixuan hurriedly wiped her hands, took Li Shiyun into her arms, and began comforting her with a soft voice.

Listening to Li Shiyun's sobbing, Su Zixuan slowly began to understand her thoughts.

"Okay, I'm fine now, right? Furthermore, under those kinds of circumstances, no one should interfere. Otherwise, the one who will get set on fire and suffer will be their own home."

"Lord Shang Shu is right, you don't have to feel guilty about it." As far as she was concerned, the Li Family hadn't done anything wrong. Not interfering was the best choice. At that time, the situation was extremely dangerous, and there was no reason for him to get involved for the sake of someone else.

"Alright, don't cry anymore. You're already such a big person, yet you still cry like that. You don't even look like a lady from a noble family."

Li Shiyun, however, did not feel at ease with her persuasion. Instead, she choked and said, "But I heard from someone that His Highness Duke of Jin jumped out to protect uncle and the Su Family during the hearing in front of everyone."

Su Zixuan didn't know about this, but at the moment, it was more important for her to comfort her friend, "You've already said that he's Prince Jin, he's the son of a phoenix, and his status is extraordinary. Naturally, he's not afraid, but Lord Li is the patriarch of a family, and he represents not only him, but your family as well."

Su Zixuan tried to persuade her for a long time, but Li Shiyun acted as if she couldn't hear her and continued to cry. In the end, Su Zixuan knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she just stood to the side, waiting for her to finish crying.

"Finished crying?" Su Zixuan watched as Li Shiyun slowly stopped. She poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Li Shiyun to moisten her throat.

Li Shiyun nodded her head subtly as she accepted the cup of tea and sipped on it.

Su Zixuan felt that this scene was familiar. Ever since she was young, she had been like this every time. If something bad had happened, she would run over to her place and cry.

However, this time, she cried for an exceptionally long time, which was a bit different.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Su Zixuan also drank some tea. After considering it, she asked, "Earlier, you said that Prince Jin would protect the Su Clan in front of everyone?"

When Li Shiyun heard this, she seemed to have forgotten that she had been crying so hard she couldn't catch her breath. She immediately walked up to Su Zixuan and said, "It was passed down from the court that day, and it was the first court hearing. They said that Prince Jin couldn't even talk about the culprit and that he had already made an engagement with the daughter of the Su family and that they were only waiting to return to the capital to get married."

Li Shiyun carefully glanced at Su Zixuan's expression and discovered that she didn't seem to feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, her expression was full of strangeness.

"Marriage contract?" What exactly did he say? " Su Zixuan restrained his expression and asked in detail.

Li Shiyun saw the serious expression on Su Zixuan's face and knew that this might not be the case. She immediately replied in a serious tone, "It's said that Prince Jin called your future father-in-law his future father-in-law, and later said that you two were engaged last winter and could only go back to the capital to get married."

"And the others?" Su Zixuan asked.

"No more." Li Shiyun shook her head. These were the only words that came out, but every single one of her words had been spread around.

Su Zixuan's expression was somewhat strange. When she thought back to what Chu Yixuan had said earlier about the account book being dug out from the Yao family and what Li Shiyun had said just now, she couldn't help but feel that she had been careless and had fallen for something.
