Fifteen minutes later, the two of them were forcefully brought to a restaurant.

The two of them entered the room at the left end of the corridor.

Inside stood a man wearing a bamboo hat. His face was covered, so his facial features could not be seen clearly. Only his chin could be vaguely seen.

Behind the man was a landscape screen.

!!

The two of them had never seen the world and thought that the man in the bamboo hat was someone who could make decisions.

Old Master Su asked in a panic, “May I ask why you brought us here?”

At this moment, how could Old Master Su still be as noble as before?

The edges of his body were smoothed.

The man in the bamboo hat was none other than Qin Jiang’s trusted aide, Xu Qing.

Xu Qing sized up the two of them carefully and said, “Are you from Qingzhou’s Apricot Flower Village?”

Old Master Su bowed slightly. “Yes, yes.”

Su Dalang helped his grandfather up, feeling flustered and uneasy.

Xu Qing asked coldly, “Did the people from the Marquis of Zhenbei bring you to the capital?”

Su looked at his grandfather, not knowing if he should answer.

Old Master Su said, “Yes.”

Old Master Su said, “…Yes.”

Xu Qing continued to ask, “How many families in your village have the surname, Su?”

Old Master Su answered honestly, “Two families. Our old Su family has lived in Apricot Flower Village for generations. There’s another small Su family that moved into the village more than ten years ago.”

Xu Qing unfolded the portrait in his hand. “Do you know this man?”

Old Master Su looked at the portrait and hesitated.

Xu Qing said in a low voice, “If you want to live, tell me honestly. Do you know me or not?”

Su Dalang was frightened and quickly said, “I know him. His name is Su Cheng. He’s from the Su family.”

Xu Qing took out two other portraits. “Which one is his daughter?”

Old Master Su pointed. “The fatter one.”

There was no mistake.

Xu Qing held two portraits in his hand. One was a portrait of Su Xiaoxiao, and the other was casually drawn.

“What’s her name?”

Su Dalang shrank his neck. “S-Su Daya.”

Xu Qing said, “She has a husband?”

Su Dalang was surprised. “You mean Young Mr. Wei?”

It was impossible for Xu Qing to answer him. He asked arrogantly, “How did he marry Su Daya?”

Brother Su whispered, “He… He was picked up by Su Cheng. Su Daya’s marriage was terminated. Su Cheng went to the village to nab a son-in-law. He didn’t nab one, so he picked someone up from the roadside.”

To be honest, at first, they did not know that Wei Ting had been picked up by Su Cheng and thought that Su Cheng had gone to some village to kidnap him.

It was only after Young Mr. Wei walked around the village that everyone slowly found out.

“Young Mr. Wei was seriously injured. He probably agreed to this marriage to repay her kindness.”

Xu Qing nodded and opened the three portraits on the table. “Which one of these portraits is Young Mr. Wei?”

Brother Su glanced at Old Master Su, who closed his eyes in resignation.

Su Dalang made up his mind and pointed at the middle one.

Behind the screen, Qin Jiang observed their expressions through the gap without blinking.

Xu Qing took a step back and looked at Qin Jiang calmly.
