Shengjing Noble

Chapter 452 Turning the Tide

"If the silver issue is troublesome, I can help you solve it."

Hearing him say this, Su Lanyin felt warm in her heart, but she didn't want to owe him anything.

So, she said, "I'll try to find a way first. If I really can't get it together, I'll trouble Brother Fu."

"Well, there's no need to be polite between you and me."

"I feel really bad for taking so long to make you accompany me on this trip. How about I take you back first?"

"No need, my carriage is outside, you can handle this matter first, I will also prepare the silver for you, you can come and get it anytime if you need it."

"Thank you."

Apart from these two words, Su Lanyin didn't know what else to say.

Fu Mingchuan said no more, stood up and left the Lu family first. He understood Su Lanyin and saw that she was a strong and independent person who did not like to owe favors to others, and even less did she like to take advantage of others.

But at the moment, she seems to have no better choice or method.

So he would prepare everything and would not have to wait for her to ask for help. He would just send her directly to Fu Mingli and replace the person first.

……

As the sky was getting darker, it seemed that the Lu family could not raise such a large sum of cash in such a short period of time.

Su Lanyin asked, and found out that the money house that the Lu family invested in would take at least two days to hand over the 50,000 taels of silver.

If I wait for two days, Song Huaizhi would have been completely eaten up. By then, if I had to pay money to rescue her, I would probably be devastated.

So, this money cannot wait.

After much thought, Su Lanyin finally bowed to reality and went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion in person.

the other side.

The back door of the Five Princes' Palace.

Su Shengming hid behind a big tree and waited for the opportunity.

He decided that since it was his fault, he had to find a way to solve it himself.

Even if it is a dangerous place, he must find a way to sneak in and rescue Song Huaizhi today.

Thinking of this, he looked around and made sure that there was no one around before moving forward a few steps.

There was a boy guarding the back door of the palace, who was rubbing his belly because he was so hungry.

"Why hasn't the person who's supposed to take over come come yet? I'm starving!"

Su Shengming glanced at the clothes on the servant boy. They were the same color and style as his own. If one did not look carefully, one could not tell the difference.

He instantly thought of a good idea.

So he quietly moved past, then walked up to him as if nothing had happened and said, "Why don't you go eat at this hour? I'll watch over it for you, you should go quickly, or else everyone else will grab all the food."

"Where are you from?" the servant asked with a frown.

"You don't even know me? I'm from the prince's courtyard. I just came back from doing something for the prince. I just ate outside and I'm not that hungry. Go eat. I'll keep an eye on you."

When the servant heard this, he was already very hungry, so he naturally agreed to have someone watch the door for him.

So he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, then you better watch out and don't let any thieves get in."

"This is the palace of the king. What little thief dares to come here and steal things?"

"You're right. I've been watching the back door for a long time, and I really haven't seen anyone trying to take advantage of the situation. Keep an eye on me first. I'm going to eat now and will be back soon."

"Okay, go ahead."

Seeing Su Shengming nod, the servant turned around and ran happily, eager to eat to fill his stomach, and didn't care about anything else.

Watching the servant disappear at the end of the path, Su Shengming immediately closed the back door.

He looked at the road in front of him and suddenly felt a little panicked.

"In such a big palace, where would Huai Zhi be imprisoned? If I look for her everywhere, I'll be doomed if someone finds out. What should I do..."

He was just feeling worried when two maids passed by not far away, chatting in low voices as they walked.

"Have you heard? The prince brought back another woman and locked her up in the west wing."

"Of course I've heard of it. This woman is extraordinary. She seems to be the most beautiful lady in Chunfeng Tower and the best singer in the world."

"So amazing? Then who is more beautiful between us, the future princess and our number one dancer?"

"How can Lan Yinyin be called the number one dancer? She just seduces the prince, and that's how she got to the top."

"I don't know what the emperor was thinking, he actually let our prince marry a dancer like her as his princess."

"The emperor is punishing the prince. Didn't you hear about what happened in the palace before?"

"What's the matter? Tell us quickly."

"Hush! Keep your voice down! I'm telling you, but don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, if we talk nonsense about this kind of thing, aren't we courting death?"

The little maid looked around and then lowered her voice and said, "I also heard that our Fifth Prince originally wanted to flirt with another girl, maybe a county lady."

"County Lady? Could it be that Su Lanyin?"

"Yes, yes, it's her. How did you know?"

"Wasn't it this Miss Su who caused the trouble at the government office before? I heard that my grandparents' family is the richest."

"Our palace is now unable to make ends meet. No wonder the prince wants to marry a merchant girl."

"Shh! Stop talking. What if someone hears you? Go eat quickly. You have to go back and serve that courtesan later."

Su Shengming hid behind a big tree and heard all the conversations clearly. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in hatred.

Damn Fu Mingli, not only did he bully Huai Zhi, he even bullied his sister!

Tolerable or unbearable!

If he had the ability, he would definitely help his sister get justice, but he is useless.

Thinking of this, he loosened his clenched fists and leaned against the tree, covering his eyes helplessly.

Two lines of clear tears slid down the corners of his eyes and fell on both sides of his cheeks. The gradually brighter moonlight sprinkled on him, and he felt lonely and sad.

He is not good at literature or martial arts, and his brain is not good enough. He seems to be a real waste.

Tonight, he must rescue Song Huaizhi by himself to prove that he can be self-reliant like his elder and second brothers, and even turn the tide like Yinyin.

Thinking of this, he headed west.

Just now the maids said that Song Huaizhi was locked up in the west wing, so it must be on the west side.

He walked westward with his head down. When he met a patrol on the road, he immediately stood aside, like a well-behaved servant, and did not attract any attention.

However, when he walked to the end of the palace, he still couldn't find the west wing that the maid had mentioned.

Did he hear it wrong? Not in the west?

By the way, those maids just now said that they would go back to serve Song Huaizhi later, which means that as long as we follow them, we can find the west wing.

Thinking of this, he immediately turned back.

He thought that no one would notice his action, but he didn't know that the guards had already noticed that something was wrong with him and quietly reported it to Fu Mingli.

In the study room.

"Are you saying that there is a man who looks like Su Shengming walking around in my palace? And he's acting sneaky?"

Fu Mingli asked.
