Poor Lady Chapter 48: Fraud (2)

"Wait a minute!" Qi Surong said to Ms. Su, seeing a group of servants approaching, "I came here at Ms. Su's appointment, and I was molested/molested in your residence. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid it will be harmful. The reputation of your mansion."

Miss Su showed hesitation on her face.

"Heh, we all came by appointment, why are you the only one being molested/molested?" A woman in yellow sarcastically said.

"That's right." Another woman in red also echoed, "Why do you blame others if you don't behave well?"

"Why do you arbitrarily think that I have misbehaved? I escaped from the room just now, and you saw it with your own eyes."

"What's so strange about that? You hurt Mr. Cao's eyes. How can you not run away?" ?”

"He intends to be rude, I'm just defending myself." Qi Surong said calmly, "Besides, I just used chili powder, at most it will hurt his eyes for a while."

"Chili powder?" Cao Xiang on the other side covered his eyes and shouted, "It's obviously poison! My eyes are like being burned, and I can't see at all. If you are really blind, what should you do?"

"This matter can be big or small." The woman in yellow interjected, "Miss Su, don't blame the little girl for not reminding you that something happened to Mr. Cao in your house. If you don't handle it properly, the Cao family may not let it go. You have to think about it, is it worth it to offend the Cao family for a common girl?"

Miss Su was startled when she heard the words, and said, "Miss Qi, Mr. Cao was hurt by you. The little girl can't take sides. I'd like you to go to the government and let the government handle this matter." Regarding Cao Xiang's identity, although Qi Surong is a flat girl, she is also a national embroidery master personally appointed by the emperor, this matter cannot be settled privately by the Su family.

Qi Surong squeezed her sleeves tightly and said nothing more. She is afraid that today's lawsuit will be settled. No matter how she defends, as long as Mr. Cao is seriously injured, she can be sent to the government for investigation.

"Miss, what happened?" Ping'er who had just returned from the warehouse saw this scene, immediately rushed to Qi Surong's side, and asked nervously.

Qi Surong shook her hand, before she could speak, the servants had surrounded her, ready to turn her over to the government.

"Don't touch me, I will go by myself." Qi Surong let Kai Jiading extend his hand and said in a cold voice.

She scanned all the people present one by one, silently recited their names in her heart, then turned around and walked towards the door resolutely. Rather than wasting words here, it is better to go directly to the government. Although she knew that going to court might not be without censure, but at this moment, she was weak and unable to argue.

This is a trap specially designed for her. If Cao Xiang's plan succeeds, her innocence will be ruined; if Cao Xiang fails, she will find a reason and send it to the officials for investigation. In any case, she is in a dilemma.

A group of people surrounded Qi Surong and walked out of the palace. In the pavilion not far away, Luo Yanyi covered her face with a fan, and there was a sneering and complacent light in her eyes.

Qi Surong was sent to the government by the people of the Su family, and was temporarily detained on the charge of "intent to poison Mr. Cao's family", waiting for evidence to be obtained. Ping'er cried and reported back, and Gu Jinyun quickly got the news from the guards he arranged.

"Bang!" Qi's father slammed his fist on the table, "It's too deceiving, too deceiving!"

Qi's mother wept and said: "I know Rong'er's temperament very well. Although she is a little cold and arrogant, she will never do dirty things."

"It's really hateful that they framed Su Rong again and again." Qi's father said angrily, "What did our Qi family do to them?"

"Master, what should we do now?" Mother Qi asked.

"I'll go and see Surong first." Qi's father glanced at Ping'er, frowned and said, "Ping'er didn't speak clearly, and I don't know the specific situation."

Qi's father asked Qi's mother to stay at home, and he brought an entourage to Jingtian Mansion.

Qi Surong was sitting in the prison, hugging her knees, with a calm expression, secretly thinking about countermeasures. The most unfavorable thing for her at present is that she hurt Cao Xiang. As long as the other party insists on this, she can be convicted of her crime. More importantly, those so-called "witnesses" are either rich or expensive, and they can influence the magistrate's judgment with a single word.

However, Cao Xiang was not seriously injured. At most, she would be convicted of accidental injury or intentional injury. She can still bear this bit of flesh and blood pain, but the matter may not be that simple.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cell.

Qi Surong looked up and saw Qi's father walking towards this side with a gloomy expression under the leadership of the official.

"Father." Qi Surong stood up and walked to the cell door.

"What's going on?" Father Qi asked directly.

Qi Surong then told all the things that happened in the Su Mansion, Qi's father burst into anger.

"Shuzi, dare you! You actually tried to bully my daughter." Qi's father slammed his fist on the cell door, causing the wooden pillar to vibrate slightly.

"Father, don't be angry." Qi Surong comforted, "Cao Xiang is fine, and my daughter should be fine this time."

Qi's father snorted coldly: "If old man Zhou Dun dares to punish you, I will make him look good."

Zhou Du is the Governor of Jingtian Mansion.

"Daughter, I'll be wronged for a while, I'll save you first for my father."

Qi Surong nodded.

"What? Why can't I release my daughter on bail? This is neither a criminal case nor a murder case. It's just an ordinary conflict. It will be interrogated on the opening day. Why let my daughter stay in the cell?" Qi's father said angrily at the yamen servant.

The yamen servant said: "Master Qi, it's not that the villain won't let you go, but that Mr. Zhou is not here at this time, so the villain can't make the decision."

"Where is the boss?"

"Master Bo Zhou went out to do errands together."

"What a coincidence!" Father Qi sneered.

The yamen servant said softly: "Master Qi, why don't you come back tomorrow..."

Qi's father stared at him coldly. How beautiful the Qi family used to be, but now even a small yamen servant dares to treat him like this!

"What if Qi must take his daughter away today?" Qi's father stood with his hands behind his back, his body full of murderous aura.

The yamen servant couldn't help taking a step back, clenched the handle of the knife, and said nervously: "Master Qi, this is a government office, please think twice before acting."

"You don't want to fight with me, do you?" Qi's father suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the yamen servant's arm, twisted it back forcefully, and then quickly took the key from his waist with his left hand down. This action was completed in the blink of an eye, and the other servants didn't even have time to react.

Qi's father took the key, turned around and walked towards the cell where his daughter was held: "If you want to ask about Qi's crimes, you can report to your adults. Qi is not an unruly person, and you can sign up later A bail document is."

Several yamen servants looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one dared to stop them. Although Qi Shuo has no official status now, but his prestige is still there, these lowly yamen servants really don't have the guts to fight him, and in the end, they can only watch Qi Shuo take Qi Surong away.

Back home, Qi's mother immediately grabbed her and asked about the situation worriedly.

Qi Surong reassured: "Don't worry, it's fine."

Qi's father sent someone to inquire about Cao Xiang's injuries. This is the key to the case. If there is no serious injury, it is just a trivial matter;

In the evening, Gu Jinyun came to Qi Surong's room and said to her: "Cao Xiang is fine."

Qi Surong said with a smile: "Of course I know he's fine."

"But you are still worried." Gu Jinyun noticed the worry on her brow.

"If they want to make things big, they won't let Cao Xiang have nothing to do." Qi Surong sat in front of the vanity mirror, spread out her bun, picked up the comb, and was about to comb her hair. In the past, he scooped up her hair and gently combed it for her.

"I sent a few people to protect him." Gu Jinyun's eyes flashed a little coldness. For the sake of Su Rong, he had to protect a **** who was eager to get rid of him quickly. There can be no accidents.

"Thank you." Qi Surong smiled lightly, and gazed at Gu Jinyun tenderly through the mirror.

"Why do you say thank you between you and me?"

Qi Surong turned around, hugged his waist, raised his head and said: "Jin Yun, promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

"If this prison disaster is inevitable, please don't take risks for me."

"You think it's hard to get over this?" Gu Jinyun frowned.

Qi Surong said: "I'm not sure, I just prepared for the worst in advance. Jin Yun, no matter what the result is, don't take risks for me, and don't come to see me. The less people know about our relationship, The future of the Qi family will be more secure. You don't have to be on guard and tie your hands and feet. The so-called misfortune depends on blessings, and blessings rest on misfortunes. This may be a turning point for both the Qi family and me. "

Gu Jinyun was puzzled and looked at Su Rong without saying a word.

"Can you promise me?" Qi Surong asked again.

"Do you know something? Or are you hiding something?" Gu Jinyun doesn't like this feeling of looking at flowers in a fog.

"No." Qi Surong looked away and replied softly.

"Look at me and say it again." Gu Jinyun raised her chin.

Qi Surong raised her head, stared deeply at him, and said with a slight smile, "Jin Yun, besides my parents and brothers, you are the one I trust the most in this world. Although I can't tell you for now, but one day, I will I'll let you know."

Gu Jinyun looked at her silently for a while, then attached himself to her lips and pressed a kiss: "I'll wait."

Three days later, two yamen servants came to Qi's house and were ordered to bring Qi Surong to the court. The case of "the daughter of the Qi family poisoning Cao Xiang in danger" started today.

Qi Surong came to the court, only to find out that the case was open to trial, and a group of spectators had already gathered outside the gate of the mansion.

Qi's father and Gu Jinyun stood among the crowd watching, filled with anger. The matter was directly and publicly heard without the consent of the Qi family, without any regard for the face of the Qi family. No matter what the outcome of this case is, it will be a blow to Qi Surong's reputation.
