Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game

Chapter 175: Catch the current situation

Su Rao was far from reassured, and quickly called Xiaoman over, insisting on taking Zhao's pulse and examining her.

After a careful examination, Xiaoman prescribed some herbal medicine for Zhao to help calm her nerves.

Su Rao then ordered Chun Shao to get some medicine and boil it, hoping it would relieve Zhao's discomfort.

When leaving Zhao's room, Su Rao couldn't help but ask Xiaoman about Zhao Huaijue's situation, "How is he now?"

"He's gotten better today and is expected to wake up within the next two days." Xiaoman's answer made Su Rao feel a little relieved, but it also aroused her curiosity about the mystery of Zhao Huaijue's life experience and the entanglement between him and his mother.

She understood that Xiaoman's medicine could only temporarily relieve Zhao's external symptoms. What really needed to be solved was to untie the heavy knot in her mother's heart.

Since the mother is unwilling to speak, the answer may only be found from the mysterious mouth of the person who is still in a coma.

"Please notify me immediately once he wakes up." Su Rao instructed Xiaoman in a firm tone.

Xiaoman responded respectfully: "Yes, Miss."

After arranging for Zhao to take medicine and sleep, Su Rao slowly left.

She walked towards the front yard with heavy steps. Her mother's condition prevented her from asking the Jinyiwei for help, but she could at least find the culprit of this turmoil and ask for clarification.

So, Su Rao went directly to Chen's residence.

However, on the way, she unexpectedly spotted a servant holding a package and trying to slip away with a nervous look on his face.

Su Rao's eyes flashed, she keenly sensed something was wrong, and quickly stood in front of the servant.

The servant was so startled that he dropped the package in his hand. In addition to gold, silver and jewelry, the scattered packages also contained several land deeds and real estate documents.

Su Rao stared at the servant and recognized her as Chen's maid.

At this moment, she was carrying such valuable items out, was she really stealing?

But then I thought, if it was really a theft, how could he be so calm?

You know, if a servant steals his master's property, he will face severe punishment once he is discovered!

Could it be that Chen was behind all this?

According to Su Rao's understanding, Su Wan spent a huge amount of money to support Shen Jinghong.

All that money was plundered bit by bit by Chen from the Su family, and Old Man Su seemed to know nothing about it.

It is well known that Mr. Su values ​​money. Su Rao can't help but be curious, between Chen and money, which one does Mr. Su care about more?

As her thoughts raced, Su Rao already had a plan in mind.

She stared at the servant with a sharp gaze: "You sneakily took things out, did you steal the master's property? You are so bold! Come, arrest her and ask my father to come over!"

Following Su Rao's order, Xiaoman quickly controlled the servants, and another guard ran to invite Master Su.

The servant suddenly realized what had happened and hurriedly explained: "I...I really didn't steal it, please let me go!"

Su Rao bent down to pick up the deed and said in a cold voice: "This is a deed, how did you get it? If it wasn't stolen, how are you going to explain it?"

The servant was fully aware of the seriousness of the theft, and with cold sweat dripping down his face, he hastily explained, "It was the Fourth Young Lady, who personally told me to take it!"

There was panic in his voice and his eyes flickered.

"The fourth young lady has already become the daughter-in-law of the Shen family. Her dowry is extremely generous. Moreover, she has always been very smart and has her own way of making money. Why would she need secret help from her family? I think it is you who has evil intentions and is trying to use the fifth sister as an excuse to escape the blame!" Su Rao's voice was stern and firm, and every word was as sharp as a needle. The servant's face turned red, and he was speechless and ashamed.

In a flash, the group walked into the spacious and bright lobby.

Master Su happened to be at home, and was urgently invited by Su Rao. He walked into the hall, frowned, looked around sharply, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened here?"

Mr. Su has complicated feelings towards Su Rao.

She is now the concubine of Prince Yi and has an extraordinary status. However, the safety of Prince Yi is still unclear. Once Prince Qi comes to power, Su Rao's identity may very well become a turning point in the fate of the Su family.

Mr. Su was thinking in his mind, what should he do if Prince Yi returned safely?

This contradiction made him neither dare to offend Su Rao too much, nor could he hide his inner dissatisfaction and anxiety.

The indecisiveness in his character, coupled with his natural fear of death, made him seem anxious and reserved when facing Su Rao.

"It was the servants who embezzled the master's property without permission." Su Rao stated as she threw the wrapped gold and silver jewelry, land deeds, property certificates and other items in front of Master Su.

Master Su stared at the property in front of him, his face instantly darkened, and he thought to himself: How does Chen manage the household?

How could you allow your servants to steal so blatantly?

He had heard that the store was not making good profits, so he was forced to cut back on his household expenses and his quality of life declined. He never expected that his family property would suffer such a disaster!

At this moment, Chen heard the news and rushed over. When she saw Master Su, she immediately put on a weak and helpless look and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Master, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"

Her considerate look, coupled with her well-maintained face, showed a hint of pity in her weakness, which touched the softest part of people's hearts. Mr. Su's anger could not help but be reduced a little.

These servants must have taken advantage of Chen's unpreparedness and acted recklessly to conceal the truth.

The Su family business is huge, and Chen is the only one to take care of it, so it is inevitable that there are things she cannot take care of.

"Niang Zhang, this group of people stole Su's property and were caught by me on the spot." Su Rao's tone was calm, but every word was powerful.

Upon hearing this, the maid knelt down and explained: "I didn't steal, Auntie, you must stand up for me!"

"Well, according to this maid, it was the Fifth Miss who asked her to marry him. Strictly speaking, it might not be considered stealing. But, the Fifth Miss has been married into the Shen family for some time, so why does she still need support from the Su family?" Su Rao changed the subject, speaking with deep meaning.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Chen's face.

Deep down, she was unwilling to continue supporting Gu Changqing, especially after learning that he was having an affair with a servant.

It was common for a man to take a concubine, but Gu Changqing dared to deceive her daughter. Her daughter naively thought that the man was deeply in love with her, but in fact she was being played around by the man. How could she swallow this?

But what can we do?

The daughter is already a married woman, and a married daughter is like spilled water. Moreover, the daughter firmly believes that Gu Changqing can be the top scorer in the imperial examination. As the imperial examination is approaching, Gu Changqing's true talent will soon be made public.

Under her daughter's pleading, her only precious daughter forced her to secretly embezzle the Su family's money to solve the urgent problem.

Originally thought that this matter was done perfectly, but unexpectedly due to the maid's stupidity, she was caught red-handed by Su Rao.

Chen secretly glanced at Master Su, knowing that he must be unhappy, so she quickly adjusted her strategy and said sternly
