Shengjing Noble

Chapter 281: Bullying the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors

Fu Wuyang said impatiently: "There is no need to practice, let's get on the road as soon as possible and don't waste time."

Su Yongcheng still wanted to keep him, but seeing his firm attitude, he had no choice but to shut up in shame.

Soon, five carriages lined up in a row and headed towards Shengjing.

When they came, Su Lanyin and the others acted separately, so they were faster. On the way back, there were many cars and people, so their speed slowed down.

It took them a whole day to reach the next town.

After finding the inn to stay, everyone looked tired and just wanted to get a room to rest quickly.

This Mo City has experienced a natural disaster and is not as lively as before. The number of people has also decreased a lot. The whole city looks very empty, and there are only a few vendors doing business on the streets.

On the way to the post station, Su Lanyin was observing the surrounding environment.

She always felt something was strange, but she couldn't explain it clearly for the time being, so she could only ask Amo to pay attention to his surroundings.

When they arrived at the post station, Fu Wuyang had a room, the little princess had a room, Su Lanyin and Cuizhu had a room, and Lu Wanjun and Lu Jinyan had a room.

The remaining ones were Su Shengyan and A'mo, and the last one was given to Su Lanxin and Liu Ruyan.

When it was time to assign rooms, Su Lanxin rushed over and grabbed the sign for Room 3, A-B.

“My mother and I live in this room!”

Everyone looked at her suspiciously, and Cuizhu said disdainfully, "It's not like we don't have a place to live, why are you fighting for it? The prince hasn't chosen yet, but you've chosen first!"

Su Lanxin retorted unconvincedly: "I didn't choose A1, how dare you, a servant, scold your master? You really need some discipline!"

Cuizhu wanted to curse back but Su Lanyin grabbed her arm. The meaning was self-evident, she definitely didn't want her to start an argument.

Although the little maid was not convinced, her master would not allow her to do so, so she could only roll her eyes and turn her head away.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Su Lanxin raised her chin proudly as if she had won, then took Liu Ruyan's arm and turned to go upstairs.

The rest of the people also took their room keys and went back to rest.

As soon as she entered the room, Cuizhu began to make the bed, complaining.

"Miss, why are you stopping me? Didn't you see how proud Su Lanxin is? If you hadn't forbidden me, I would have scolded her to death!"

Su Lanyin looked around the room, then sat down on a chair and said calmly, "Why bother arguing with her? It's meaningless."

Cuizhu finished making the bed and walked up to her and asked in confusion, "Miss, why do you think she wanted room 3? Is room 3 bigger and better than room 2?"

"I don't know... maybe she likes San."

Although Su Lanyin said this, her mind became more active.

Su Lanxin would never rob Room 3 for no reason, unless she was looking for something, or that thing was in Room 3.

Is it...

As if she had thought of something, she stood up and walked outside.

"Where are you going, girl?"

Su Lanyin stood at the door, thought for a moment, then turned back and said, "Wait here. If anyone asks, tell them I'm going to find something to eat."

"Yes."

……

At this time, in room number three.

Liu Ruyan took out a small package and stuffed it into Su Lanxin's hand, her eyes full of nervousness and anxiety.

"Daughter, what if King Xiaoyao finds out?"

"It doesn't matter. If you get caught, just say I wanted to seduce him."

Liu Ruyan was surprised: "How can this be possible? What will happen to your reputation if it gets out?"

"What's the use of fame? Can it bring wealth and honor?"

What Su Lanxin said seemed to make some sense.

"Besides, I don't have much of a reputation anymore."

That... is true.

Liu Ruyan was speechless and could only sigh and say, "Whether it will work this time depends entirely on you."

"Don't worry, I'll go find the little princess right away."

After saying that, Su Lanxin got up with the packet of medicine and went to room four to find Ma Xiaotong.

……

Room one.

Fu Wuyang looked solemn, and after a while he asked, "Do you suspect Su Lanxin and the others are up to something?"

"Well, no matter what, I think it's better for the prince to be on guard."

"Thanks for the reminder, but I think there should be no problem. Everything is a foregone conclusion now. Although the evidence and certification in my hands are not enough to overthrow Fu Mingheng, they have weakened his power. At least the beauty of the country cannot be saved."

"Fu Mingheng is the boss behind Guose Tianxiang. Will the emperor really let him go?"

Fu Wuyang smiled and said indifferently: "You think too simply. Why did Fu Mingheng want to build a country of se Tianxiang? You don't really think he is just lustful, do you?"

"Even if it's not all of it, it's at least half of it!" Su Lanyin said unhappily.

"Well, even if he is greedy for money and lustful, as a prince, it is not too much for him to have some profitable businesses. If the emperor finds out, at most he will reprimand him, put him under house arrest for a few days, and then let him go."

“What about human trafficking and embezzlement of disaster relief funds?”

"Fu Mingheng did not directly intervene in these things. We currently have no witnesses or evidence to show that he was manipulating all of this. Even if the truth is revealed, he can shirk everything by saying that he had no knowledge of it."

"Not aware? Who would believe it?"

"A letter from my royal brother!" Fu Wuyang looked at her coldly, his expression very serious.

Su Lanyin was somewhat speechless, and said sullenly: "The emperor really dotes on him!"

"Fu Mingheng was born to the Queen, and he has the power of the Xiao family, one of the four great families, behind him. The Emperor wants to win over the noble families, so he naturally has to pamper him. Before there is irrefutable evidence, he will not receive any substantial punishment, because he can push these crimes onto the people below him, and then pretend to be an innocent victim who was deceived by his superiors and subordinates."

"Shameless!" Su Lanyin was furious.

In the previous life, all the property of my grandfather's family was taken by Fu Mingheng alone. It might be that he was the one who helped Su Lanxin murder them behind the scenes.

Therefore, in this life, even if there were no human trafficking or embezzlement of disaster relief funds, she would definitely overthrow the prince.

"So what does Su Lanxin want to do?"

Returning to the topic, Fu Wuyang seemed to have a vague answer in his mind.

"Perhaps, she has not given up and still wants to work for Fu Mingheng."

"What are you going to do? Are you going to knock us all out, steal the evidence, and then silence the witnesses?" Su Lanyin asked.

Although she said so, she didn't believe Su Lanxin had the ability to accomplish these things.

Fu Wuyang wanted to say something when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who?"

"Father, Sister Lan Xin and I are here to bring you some food."

Ma Xiaotong's voice came from outside the door.

"We can't let them see the two of us together." Su Lanyin lowered her voice and immediately went to find a hiding place.

But the bottom of the bed in this inn was sealed and she couldn't get in at all. There were no cabinets or curtains blocking the way. She searched for a long time and could only rush to the bed in three or two steps and pull the bed curtains.
