Chapter 110 The Key Witness Arrives
Chapter 110 The Key Witness Arrives
Everyone talked for a while.
So they went to eat in the garden.
It's been very hot lately.
Su Rutang got Song Huaiyan's idea of making money, and his ice cream shop business in Beijing was booming.
It’s been very hot this summer and ice is very expensive.
With the large supply from Su Rutang's shop, the originally expensive price of ice was lowered a bit.
Su Rutang supplied the Su family with a lot of ice every day.
All are provided free of charge.
The place where we had dinner today was not far from the waterside pavilion, and there was a bamboo pavilion built in the yard.
A bamboo pavilion can accommodate thirty or forty people for dinner at the same time.
There are bamboo pavilions connected together with bamboo eaves, and there is a waterwheel between every two pavilions.
There was ice underneath the waterwheel.
Mist lingers.
The melted water from the ice was sent to the water tank by a water truck, and lotus flowers were floating on the water tank. The water tank actually connected all the pavilions together.
Everyone saw it and praised it highly.
"This is a great idea."
"It's quite interesting to cool down. Su Shaoqing, you have to write a poem today."
Su Buli opened the fan with a smile on her face.
"It's fine to write poetry. Will Chengru's brother-in-law join us?"
Zhou Chengru glanced at the pavilion in the middle of the pond and said, "Okay! Why not call a few more colleagues?"
"It's a bit narrow here. How about going to the waterside pavilion?"
The water pavilion also has ice cubes, and uses water from the pond.
Lotus flowers are blooming in the middle.
There is an indescribable artistic conception.
Everyone said yes.
Su Buli had a smile on his face, knowing that Zhou Chengru was determined to kill the Su family.
There are so many places in the garden, and he wanted to go to the water pavilion.
"Okay. Let's go there."
Su Buli and Zhou Chengru's eyes met, and there seemed to be nothing between them, but there was something hidden in their eyes.
Just leave.
Just as I was about to pass by, I heard someone shouting:
"The fifth prince has arrived."
"Prince Cheng has arrived."
"The fourth prince has arrived."
"Commander Shang has arrived."
"Tongzhi Yao has arrived."
……
Suddenly, another ten people came.
Zhou Chengru stopped with a smile in his eyes.
He knew the key witness had arrived.
King Kang came out holding a wine glass, "King Cheng, I was wondering why you didn't come to the Su Mansion to drink? Today we have Yulu wine, and last time we drank to our heart's content at the Zhou Mansion."
Speaking of Zhou Mansion.
Everyone looked at Zhou Chengru meaningfully.
King Kang realized that he had spoken out of turn, so he stopped talking.
Prince Cheng laughed and said:
"Didn't I come here because of the smell of alcohol?"
"Where are you going?"
When Zhou Chengru heard King Cheng's question, he smiled and interrupted: "We were talking about how this scene is suitable for writing poetry. We were just about to go to the waterside pavilion in the middle of the pond to write poetry."
King Cheng glanced sideways.
"It's quite elegant. The Su family's aesthetic taste is indeed better than ours."
King Kang laughed and said:
"Shall we join in the fun?"
The fourth prince smiled upon hearing this, "There are a few children here as well. Why don't we call them over and test their academic performance?"
The fifth prince raised his lips, "Fourth brother. You are very thoughtful."
"Hahaha, I'm just trying to relieve my father's worries."
The water pavilion in the Su Mansion is quite large.
Again two connected together.
Even if students like Zhou Wenyi, Su Yuxuan, and Jiang Wenbing were invited, the space would not be considered narrow.
Everyone moved over.
The king has no say.
He was also called over by Su Buli.
He winked at Wang Anping and saw that he had already walked beside Shangqi.
Su Buli turned around and smiled at Su Rutang, with a soothing smile. Su Rutang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that success or failure depended on this one move.
Lan Xuanji asked the female family members to sit down.
"The men are writing poems and lyrics, why don't we drink some fruit wine?"
"Plum wine?"
"Okay, there will be plenty of plum wine today. I'll give each of you a jar before you leave." Lan Xuanji clasped her hands together and said, "I just hope that the master will be safe and sound when he goes to Mobei."
Several military commanders’ families were also present.
All they ask for is for their husbands to be safe and well.
Hearing this, he laughed and said:
"Mrs. Su will definitely get what she wants."
"Then I'll borrow Mrs. Lu's good words."
"Rutang. You should also drink some plum wine." Lan Xuanji saw that Su Rutang was absent-minded and reminded her hurriedly.
Su Rutang came back to his senses.
"Okay. I'll have a small drink too." She had just sweated in the morning, but in order to prevent others from knowing what happened yesterday, she still picked up the glass.
"Yun Ying. Let's have a drink."
Shen Yunying frowned, "Because of your family's problems, why are you still not taking care of your body?"
The two clinked their glasses.
Su Rutang drank it all in one gulp.
Several people on the other side all sympathized:
"Hey. Isn't Rutang worried?"
"How pitiful."
Seeing that Su Rutang was about to pour more wine, Madam Jian hurriedly stopped her. "Rutang, listen to me, don't hurt yourself for a man."
These ladies in the harem have a clear mind.
Saying that he was drugged is just an excuse after the accident.
I'm afraid the two of them have been hooking up together for a long time.
While they were drunk, they were in a rage, thinking that no one would know about it in the ancestral temple.
"Good auntie, I'll just have another small drink."
"Haha, well. I'll allow you to have another small cup." Mrs. Jane smelled the aroma of plum wine and became greedy herself.
Take a sip.
"Xuanji. I will definitely bring a small jar back when I leave."
"Okay. You have one more jar than others, so how about I give you two?" Lan Xuanji responded with a smile.
"Thank you for speaking up for my Rutang. This child feels so aggrieved, but she dares not speak out." Lan Xuanji said awkwardly: "We in her family can only comfort her privately."
Mrs. Jane smiled and said:
"It's only natural for families like us to feel sorry for our girls."
"I just like Rutang. I will love her more in the future. Rutang and Yunying are both lovable."
Old Madam Shen also laughed.
Several wives of officials knew that Jian Shuchi was still unmarried, so they all brought their daughters over to show off.
The purpose is to catch Mrs. Jane's eye.
Su Qingwan was furious.
"Miss Qingwan is fifteen years old now, right? I heard that the wife of the Jinyang governor has a good impression of you." The wife of the Marquis of Luyang said with a smile.
Su Qingwan's face changed.
Lan Xuanji smiled and replied, "My Qingwan won't talk about marriage for now, let's wait a few years before talking about it."
"In a few years? The emperor intends to grant Qingwan a marriage." The elder sister of the wife of Marquis Luyang is one of the four concubines. She knows more about the things in the sky than others.
Su Qingwan glanced at Su Rutang anxiously.
"Stop it."
"hit what?"
Su Rutang stood up hurriedly, "What happened at the waterside pavilion?"
Everyone looked over in unison.
Mr. Su and several old gentlemen hurriedly put down their wine glasses and walked over.
Knowing what the result will be.
Su Rutang still clenched her fists nervously. She stood beside the pond and looked towards the center of the pond like the other women.
Zhou Wenyi and Jiang Wenbing started fighting.
Somehow the two of them bumped into a flower pot.
The flowerpot is broken.
Zhou Wenyi rode on Jiang Wenbing and pulled up the osmanthus flowers by the roots with one hand.
His eyes fell nervously on the soil.
