Chapter 142: One more chip, one more peace of mind
"Zhao Siyu," Su Muxi never expected to see Zhao Siyu here, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Siyu didn't expect Su Muxi to come back at her. She couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to. She smiled and said, "Hi, Princess, long time no see!"
Su Muxi ignored her playful smile and said, "Don't give me that. Tell me why you came here."
"I took the wrong road," Zhao Siyu said sincerely, "Really, I'm not lying to you."
Su Muxi would not be fooled by her. "Tell me, did you come here with Manager Jiang?"
"Princess, you are really smart," Zhao Siyu laughed, "Let me go first. I can't beat you."
Su Muxi let go of her hand and asked, "Why didn't you go back with Manager Jiang?"
As soon as they came out of Feng Country, they sent Manager Jiang and the others away. Now that Zhao Siyu hasn't left, it's very likely that she followed them secretly.
"You'd better tell the truth, or I'll send someone to send you back immediately." Su Muxi threatened: "Or, you want me to send you back to the capital. I heard the reward is very high."
"No, no, no, I'll tell you, I'll tell you," Zhao Siyu burst into tears in an instant, "You also know that my reward is high, and there are too many people in the Jiang family. If I stay here, I will die."
"Mr. Jiang is a mastermind, and there are plenty of places for you to stay. It's freezing cold in the northwest, but you insisted on coming here," Su Muxi snorted coldly, "Zhao Siyu, do you think I'm as easy to fool as my second brother?"
Zhao Siyu had tears on her face and gave two awkward fake smiles. "I ran away from my marriage. My grandfather asked me to replace Miss Sun in my family and marry a wealthy businessman. I haven't avenged myself yet. How can I hide my identity?"
"I was in a hurry to escape, and when I heard that Manager Jiang was coming to the northwest, I followed him immediately."
"So, it was Miss Sun who informed on you, and then you followed along."
"Nothing escapes your discerning eyes. Princess, you are really amazing." Zhao Siyu continued to compliment, "I only said one sentence, and you thought of the key."
Su Muxi sneered, "So, you really think my second brother is easy to deceive, so you specifically went after him."
"Uh," Zhao Siyu was too lazy to even put on a fake smile. She didn't expect Su Muxi to be so difficult to deal with. "I'm at my wits' end. I only know these two brothers in the Northwest Camp."
"Then you probably haven't met my third brother!"
"Hey, I've been hiding."
Su Muxi was really worried about her second brother. He pulled the person out of the water, but he didn't even remember him. "I'll arrange a place for you..."
"Oh, no need," Zhao Siyu interrupted her, a little embarrassed, "I've just adapted to the new environment. Besides, you'll be back in Beijing soon. Will I be alone and helpless then?"
Su Muxi really didn't expect that Zhao Siyu would actually rely on her second brother. When she thought of Zhao Siyu's ruthlessness in her previous life when she used a bag of poison to overthrow the entire court, she got a headache. "I can let you follow my second brother, but you better be steady and don't cause trouble. If someone finds out, I'll let my third brother kill you with a knife."
Zhao Siyu raised her hand and swore, "I swear, I won't cause any trouble." The meaning was very clear. If trouble doesn't come to me, I will be honest. If trouble comes to me, I won't indulge it.
After thinking it over, Su Muxi decided to put the explosive pack in a conspicuous place to prevent it from exploding somewhere unknown. Besides, with her second brother's stubbornness, even if he couldn't beat Zhao Siyu, he would definitely not be able to light it.
She could also keep an eye on her second brother to prevent him from suffering at the hands of Lieutenant General Lin and his daughter.
Su Muxi gave a few more instructions and then let the man go. When the man disappeared, she let out a long sigh. Why did so many troubles happen one after another?
In the evening, Su Muxi followed his third brother to Yucheng, and Su Muxi met the Duke's wife.
The Duke's wife looked Su Muxi up and down, and then began to lecture her, saying that she was bold and reckless, and finally hugged her and cried.
Su Muxi had no choice but to pretend to be sick again, and almost coughed up blood, before she could leave her mother's yard.
"Serves you right," Su Muchuan gloated on the side.
"Third brother, which side are you on?" Su Muxi said weakly.
"Whichever side is right, that's where I stand."
"Fall grass."
"It's obviously a matter of urgency."
The two chatted for a long time before Su Muxi told Su Muchuan about what happened when she met Zhao Siyu today.
"Ah, isn't this just picking on the weak? That's too much," Su Muchuan was filled with righteous indignation, patting his chest and saying, "Luckily he didn't find me. It's true that it's hard to raise a woman and a villain."
Su Muxi was speechless, "Third brother, is it really okay for you to gloat over other people's misfortunes like this?"
"Hahaha." Su Muchuan laughed and suddenly said seriously, "Why did you keep her?"
You can't say that you are afraid that Zhao Siyu will become desperate and poison the entire camp! Su Muxi sighed, "She seems to like the second brother and said that she will not marry anyone but the second brother. Third brother, her grandfather is the richest man in Jiangnan! We in the northwest are so short of money."
"So you sold out your second brother." Su Muchuan didn't expect his younger sister to be so shameless. "But if it can really solve the food problem, it's not impossible."
Su Muxi laughed, and Su Muchuan followed suit, then suddenly stopped laughing, "So, why is that? Your second brother has a fiancée?"
Su Muchuan thought that he knew Su Muxi quite well. If she really wanted to bring them together, she would not have told him. He had met Zhao Siyu before, and she was no pushover either. Su Muxi's joke was clearly a reminder for him to pay attention to Zhao Siyu.
"Nothing can be hidden from Third Brother," Su Muxi said, "Grandpa Jiang has only one daughter, Zhao Siyu's mother, and the rest are all godsons, which shows how important Zhao Siyu is."
"Prince Jin has returned, and the situation is changing rapidly. Zhao Siyu still needs to keep this move in her hands to be safe."
As soon as he heard this, Su Muchuan understood. The Northwestern Border Chief Mo was not anxious. Even if he did not want to get involved in party disputes, there were not many people who truly believed in him. After all, Su Muxi was married to He Yuncheng, and Prince Jin was resurrected and was a cousin of He Yuncheng.
One more bargaining chip means one more peace of mind. Su Muchuan nodded, "I understand. We have been traveling all day. Let's go to bed early!"
