The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Old-fashioned and arbitrary

 Li's Villa.

Mrs. Li hurried in with a group of servants.

“Go and find where the young master is!”

 At the command, everyone dispersed.

Soon someone shouted: "Old lady, there's something going on here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Li came over with someone.

The person who called out before quietly disappeared into the crowd and watched as others stepped forward and opened the door.

 But a scream was heard.

The man's face darkened, and his voice didn't sound like he had discovered any adultery.

Soon, the person who had gone in earlier stumbled out, pointed at the room, and finally said out loud: "There are... there are dead people!"

As soon as Mrs. Li heard this, her breathing stopped for a moment, and she was supported by the grandmother beside her.

 “Quick, go in and take a look!”

Lest something happened to Li Rui, several servants looked at each other and walked in tremblingly.

 After a while, he came out of the house.

 “Old lady, not young master.”

 “It's two people I haven't met.”

Mrs. Li's heart dropped a lot, and she quickly ordered: "Go and look elsewhere quickly to see where the young master is!"

The people didn't dare to delay, so they quickly dispersed to find people.

 Leave a few brave ones to go into the house and drag the body out.

The blood on the corpse had solidified. Mrs. Li took a few glances to confirm that it was not Li Rui, and then she said with a solemn face: "Go and check, what happened?"

 “Yes, old lady.”

Mammy gave me a wink, and someone ran out.

 “Old madam, we found the young master!”

Someone shouted loudly, not far away.

Mrs. Li was supported by her grandma and walked quickly towards that place.

Soon, he saw Li Rui leaning against the wall.

 “Ruier, Ruier?”

Mrs. Li stepped forward and saw Li Rui's bloodless face, her heart lifted again.

 Hurry up and ask for the doctor.

The Li family was looking for Li Rui in a hurry, but the Su house was quiet.

There was no need to go to school in the morning or to greet the old lady. Su Leyun slept until dawn.

Lian Xin twisted the handkerchief for Su Leyun and muttered: "Miss, I heard something happened to Mr. Li Rui."

 In less than an hour, the news about Li's Villa had spread.

　　It was said that a thief wanted to steal from Li's villa, but he bumped into Li Rui.

Li Rui was knocked unconscious by the thieves and froze outside the house all night.

The thieves didn't know what happened, so they started killing each other, and they all died.

It was just a rumor that the two thieves were still lying on the same bed when they died.

Su Leyun frowned. According to Lian Xin, Li Rui was afraid that something had happened.

Could it be that something happened to him yesterday?

 She shook her head and didn't think about it anymore.

 What happened to Li Rui has nothing to do with her.

 After lunch, Su Leyun took Lian Xin and Cuiliu to Shuntian Mansion.

Lin Wenbin's embezzlement of her boss's money has been sued by her uncle to Shuntian Mansion. As the current boss, she naturally wants to expose her.

Arrived at Shuntian Mansion, Lian Xin stepped forward to inform her name, and saw Su Changqing and several yamen servants hurried out of the yamen.

"Father."

Su Leyun did not avoid it, but bowed to Su Changqing in a decent manner.

On the other hand, when Su Changqing saw Su Leyun, his expression was not very good.

 “What are you doing in Shuntian Mansion?”

How could a girl from a serious family come to a place like Shuntian Mansion?

Su Leyun had no expression on his face, "Father, I am the owner of Ping An Book Store."

 “Ping'an Shusi?”

Su Changqing thought for a while, thought of something, and looked surprised.

He had naturally read the archives of Ping'an Book Store, but this matter did not require him, a fourth-rank official, to take care of it, so he did not take a serious look at it. He did not know that Ping'an Book Store belonged to Su Leyun.

He frowned and said: "You are a girl who has not yet left the government. You should not show her face outside so as not to let others see her and think that our Su family has improper upbringing."

“Isn't father a bit too old-fashioned?”

Su Leyun chuckled lightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

When Su Changqing heard this, he thought Su Leyun was mocking him, and his expression suddenly changed, "You still dare to talk back?"

Several government officials looked at each other in confusion. Even if they listened to such matters, they would not be able to leave.

Su Leyun showed a hint of confusion, "I'm afraid my father may have wrongly blamed his daughter. When I was in Jingzhou, I heard that women in the capital often walked around, and some women were even as good as men. If my father said this was due to improper upbringing, would it be too arbitrary? "

"You..." Su Changqing couldn't refute for a moment, and waved his sleeves fiercely to save his face, "I just care about you a few words, you are a girl who needs to be careful when you are abroad."

“It's true that Yun'er has wrongly blamed her father. But next time, father, please don't say such ambiguous words. It doesn't matter if Yun'er misunderstands. If others listen to it, they may mutter about father's rigid and arbitrary nature, which is not good.”

Su Leyun met Su Changqing's angry eyes and smiled.

Su Changqing suppressed his anger and said, "I still have something to do. If you are done with your work, you should go back quickly."

Several government officials came to their senses and hurriedly followed Su Changqing and left quickly.

Su Leyun turned around and entered the Yamen.

The yamen servant did not dare to neglect and took Su Leyun inside. "Ms. Su, the case of Ping An Book Store will be handled by Kong Tong. I will take you there."

 “Sorry, brother.”

 Lian Xin received the call.

Seeing that Lian Xin was so easy to talk to, the yamen servant relaxed a little.

Soon we arrived at the office where Judge Kong Tong was working. The yamen servant knocked on the door and said, "President Kong Tong, the owner of Ping'an Bookstore is here."

 “Let him in.”

 The voice of Kong Tongpan came from inside the house.

The yamen servant opened the door and motioned to Su Leyun, "Miss Su, please come."

Su Le stepped into the house, followed closely by Lian Xin and Cuiliu.

 The furnishings in the house are very neat, and there are no overly fancy decorations. I think the owner of this house must be a fastidious person.

“Miss Su? Please sit down.”

 A voice came.

Su Leyun looked for the sound and saw a middle-aged man who seemed to be polite and polite, walking towards her with a case file in his hand.

 “The daughter of the people has seen Kong Tongpan.”

Although Su Changqing is the officer of the other party, and Su Leyun is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, after all, the other party is a court official, and etiquette must not be lost.

 Kong Tongpan nodded, "Miss Su, you are polite."

 He put the case file in his hand on the table and then sat down.

Seeing this, Su Leyun also sat down.

“This officer has already seen this case and interrogated the prisoner, but there are still some doubts in it that need to be answered by Miss Su.”

“Excuse me, Master Kong Tong, if the daughter of the people knew about it, she would definitely not hide it.”

Judge Kong Tong put down the case file, took a piece of paper from a corner, and dipped his pen in some ink.

While asking, he wrote: "Prisoner Lin Wenbin admitted that he had tampered with the account books, but he said that not all the money hidden under the Lin family's old house was the money he had swallowed privately. Most of it was handed down from his ancestors. I don't know if Miss Su How to explain?"
