Xu Qing pressed further: “How many households in your village have the surname Su?”  

Old Mr. Su answered truthfully: “Two. Our Old Su family has lived in Xinghua Village for generations. The other is another Su family, who moved into the village over a decade ago.”  

With a snap, Xu Qing unfolded a portrait in his hand, “Do you recognize this man?”  

Old Mr. Su looked at the portrait and hesitated.  

Xu Qing said sternly, “If you want to live, then answer honestly. Do you recognize him or not?”  

Su Dalang was terrified, he quickly said, “We recognize him. His name is Su Cheng. He’s from the other Su family.”  

Xu Qing then took out two more portraits, “Which one is his daughter?”  

Old Mr. Su pointed, “The chubbier one.”  

He answered correctly.

The two portraits Xu Qing held were one of Su Xiaoxiao and another randomly drawn.  

“What is her name?”  

Su Dalang shrank back: “Su… Su Daya.”  

Xu Qing said, “She has a husband?”  

Su Dalang was surprised: “Are you talking about Gentleman Wei?”  

Xu Qing had no intention of answering him and asked arrogantly, “How did he marry Su Daya?”  

Su Dalang whispered, “He… he was taken up by Su Cheng. Su Daya’s engagement was broken off, so Su Cheng travelled to another village to find a son-in-law but was unsuccessful. Then he picked someone up from the roadside.”  

To be honest, they had no idea Wei Ting had been taken up by Su Cheng. They assumed Su Cheng had kidnapped him from another village.  

Everyone eventually discovered it when Gentleman Wei went around the village more.  

“Gentleman Wei was severely injured. Probably to repay the kindness… he agreed to the marriage.”  

Xu Qing grunted in acknowledgment and unrolled three scrolls on the table: “Among these portraits, which one is Gentleman Wei?”  

Su Dalang glanced at Old Mr. Su, who closed his eyes in resignation.  

Su Dalang steeled himself and pointed to the middle one.  

Behind the screen, Qin Jiang watched their expressions intently through the gap.  

Xu Qing took a step back and glanced discreetly at Qin Jiang.  

Qin Jiang nodded slightly.  

This time, Xu Qing did not continue questioning them. 

Instead, he took out a bag of silver money from his robe and poured it clattering onto the table.  

Seeing the shiny silver ingots, Old Mr. Su and Su Dalang’s eyes widened.  

Xu Qing said unhurriedly, “Listen carefully. This man is named Wei Ting. Before being picked up by Su Cheng to become a live-in son-in-law, he had visited your village to inquire about the other Su family. And he was not injured.”  

Su Dalang was astonished: “This……”  

Xu Qing threatened, “Do you remember what I just said? If someone asks, you should know how to answer, right? If you handle this well, these silvers are yours. I will also prepare a carriage for you to return to Qingzhou comfortably. But if you don’t cooperate—”  

Xu Qing drew the sword at his waist.  

“I won’t kill you now, but I guarantee you won’t leave the capital alive!”  

…  

Marquis of Zhenbei’s Estate.

Su Xiaoxiao came to change the old marquis’s prescription and, in the process, gave Doctor Fu a half-day off.  

Seeing his dear granddaughter, the old marquis instantly found his grandsons at home less appealing.  

No matter what, his granddaughter came first! She was his own flesh and blood, and he wouldn’t hear any objections!  

Su Qi and Su Yu stood in the courtyard, watching with envy as their grandfather fussed over the little girl, offering her this and that, practically wanting the servants to empty the entire storeroom for her to pick from.  

Su Yu said, “Second Brother, do you think Grandfather even knows we’re here?”  

Su Qi replied, “Why don’t you go ask him?”  

Su Yu said pitifully, “You think I haven’t?”  

Grandfather’s eyes no longer had a place for him.  

He was no longer Grandfather’s darling Yu Yu!  

Su Qi crossed his arms and huffed, “Just wait until the Fourth and Fifth Brother return. This girl asked for it!”  

The estate’s steward hurried over: “Second Young Master, Third Young Master, are the Young Lord and the eldest young master here?”  

Su Qi asked, “Do you need something from my father and eldest brother?”  

The steward said, “Someone from the palace has come.”  

Su Qi said seriously, “I’ll meet him.”  

Su Yu quickly added, “I’ll go too!”
