Chapter 111 Redemption(1/2)
As soon as these words came out, the many young men who showed expectant expressions were all dumbfounded.
Some people thought they heard wrongly and confirmed in low voices several times with their companions around them.
After learning that the words just now were indeed from Su Qi'an's mouth, he trembled in his heart and secretly looked at Zhou Jie and Wei Yun in front of him.
Just as they thought, Zhou Jie's face at this time was ugly and his eyes were gloomy.
Staring at Su Qian above with gloomy eyes, he was silent for a while and said coldly.
"Su Qi'an, you are brave enough! You dare to speak to me like this. You are very good. Since you dare to say this, you should be prepared for the consequences of these words."
"Come here, take down Su Qian for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed in outside the gate of Chunfengyuan. These people were not the guards of powerful families, but soldiers from the county.
Zhou Jie can easily mobilize soldiers from the county and city, which shows the strength of the Zhou family.
A large number of soldiers rushed into Chunfeng Courtyard and without saying a word, went straight to the fourth floor where Su Qi'an was.
The atmosphere in Chunfeng Courtyard instantly became tense, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Su Qi'an on the stage.
There are regrets, but those watching the show are more gloating.
Su Qian's reputation is very famous, but this is not the reason why he can be unscrupulous with his talent.
I don’t even look at where this place is, Sichuandu County.
He repeatedly rubbed Zhou Jie's face and made fun of him in public.
This is no different from seeking death.
Just when everyone was waiting for Su Qian'an to be taken down, the madam who had been silent said.
"Wait a minute, take someone from Chunfengyuan again, Mr. Zhou, this is against the rules."
"Huh? What do you mean, Madam? Could it be that Chunfengyuan wants to intervene in this matter?"
No one expected that at this juncture, someone from Chunfengyuan would actually speak out.
Chunfengyuan has always rarely intervened in the fights between the powerful, rich and young, and has always been the middleman.
But what the madam just said was obviously to protect Su Qi'an.
Otherwise Zhou Jie would not be dissatisfied.
The old bustard looked at Zhou Jie with a smile on his face, shook his head and said.
"Young Master Zhou has misunderstood. Chunfeng Yuan is not standing up for Su Juren, but Chunfeng Yuan has the rules of Chunfeng Yuan. No one can do anything in Chunfeng Yuan no matter how much hatred they have."
"This rule has been in place for so many years. If it is broken today, it will be difficult for Chunfeng Institute to do business in the future."
"And the poem Su Juren just wrote, I don't think I need to tell you, it won't be long before it spreads throughout Sichuan Province, and it will definitely attract some big shots."
"If Young Master Zhou takes action here today, he may lose some of his humanity. I hope Young Master Zhou can think twice about giving Chunfeng Yuan some face today."
What the Madam said was not a threat, it was just a kind reminder, and it gave Zhou Jie enough face.
Zhou Jie was silent and his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he looked at Su Qian and said.
"Su Qi'an, you are lucky this time. I will give Chunfeng Yuan this face. Next time, remember to be cautious when leaving Chunfeng Yuan. It would be a pity if something unexpected happened in the county."
"let's go!"
Zhou Jie turned around and left. Wei Yun beside him was like a follower from beginning to end, leaving quickly without saying a word.
The mobilized soldiers left quickly with expressionless faces.
No one expected that Zhou Jie would surrender. Is this the little bully they knew in the county?
We didn't see a good show, the person involved had already left, and these gentlemen all left wisely.
All of a sudden, the lobby of Chunfeng Yuan became much empty. Even Zhao Xin, who had won first place in the poetry recitation competition earlier, mingled with the team and left quietly.
After all, when Su Qi'an's poem came out just now, even if someone doesn't appreciate the level of poetry writing, there is no way to judge who's poetry is good.
If Zhou Jie continues to stay here, he will not be humiliating himself.
When the young master left, there was no joy of victory on Su Qian's face.
He kept staring at the retreating figure of Zhou Jie, frowning slightly.
He always felt that today's matter seemed a little too smooth.
Su Qi'an was not familiar with Zhou Jie, but before entering the city, he had studied the top powers in the county.
Chunfengyuan has great reputation, and being able to stop Zhou Jie, a little bully, is the limit.
If Wei Yun was added to the list, no one else would be able to convince them unless the county guard came today.
But just now, Wei Yun didn't say anything, just like a follower, following Zhou Jie away.
This seems a bit too anticlimactic.
Su Qian turned his head and said something to the thin monkey behind him.
The thin monkey nodded and disappeared quietly after a while.
Su Qi'an instantly lost interest in today's matter after Zhou Jie made such a fuss.
Just when Su Qian was about to leave with Ye Zhong, the Madam's voice sounded.
"Su Juren is staying put. Something happened today that disappointed Mr. Su. However, Chunfeng Yuan has always done business with integrity. Needless to say, Mr. Su is well-deserved for today's poetry recital meeting."
"Madam, I have asked Xiaowan to wait for you in the room, sir. If sir doesn't go, it will break Xiaowan's heart."
Su Qi'an stopped, he pondered for a while, and then said, okay, since Chunfeng Yuan has this intention, Su will not shirk and lead the way."
The old bustard looked happy, nodded repeatedly, and personally led the way. Su Qi'an and Ye Zhong gave instructions and followed the old bustard.
In the eyes of outsiders, what is the difference between Su Qi'an's actions and those of young masters like them? Why is he just coveting Lu Xiaowan's body and acting so hypocritically?
Those who made such comments were mostly the defeated young masters. They were more jealous of Su Qi'an's half-hour tryst with Lu Xiaowan.
Su Qian didn't care at all what these people thought, even if the madam greeted them with a smile.
But along the way, Su Qi'an clearly noticed the darkness around him, and there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him.
The half-hour tryst is indeed enviable, but Chunfengyuan is not a fool, can he do business at a loss?
If Su Qian did something extraordinary in half an hour, a large number of good players would definitely rush in the next moment.
When the time comes, make some excuses so that Su Qi'an will not be manipulated by Chunfeng Academy at will.
To deal with this kind of person, you need to have eight hundred eyes.
Su Qi'an walked all the way, listening to the madam's chatter all the way, and finally stopped in front of a room.
The madam seemed to want to continue saying something, but was interrupted by Su Qian.
"Okay, just send it here, you can go down."
"Um...Okay, if you need anything, Mr. Su, just ask me. Please enjoy this rare alone time, sir."
Su Qian nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the door.
The room is not big, but the setting is very bright, with pink curtains and embroidered screens. It looks as warm as the last time we met in Lingbei County.
In the air, wisps of fragrance filled the room. After smelling it for a long time, my head seemed to feel drunk.
Su Qi'an walked in and sat on a chair on the side. After a while, Lu Xiaowan walked in front of Su Qi'an, still wearing the long dress that exposed her navel.
When the two met again, Su Qi'an said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for half a year, but when we meet today, Miss Xiaowan is still as charming as ever."
"Mr. Su was joking. Compared with Mr. Su, Xiaowan is nothing."
Su Qian nodded, motioned Lu Xiaowan to sit down, remained silent for a while, and said softly.
"Miss Xiaowan, excuse me for being so presumptuous, what happened in the past six months? It seems that I can see a little sadness in the girl's eyes."
After Su Qian'an said these words, Lu Xiaowan's body trembled, and her face was obviously unbearable. She sighed and said.
"Now that Mr. Su has asked, Xiaowan will not hide it. Chunfeng Yuan praises me so much and wants me to be the number one in the county. The ultimate goal is to send me to the city to be given to a big shot.
The young master is a bed-warming maid."
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaowan's face showed a bit of bitterness, she shook her head and continued.
"I originally thought that after I came to the county town, I would be able to at least lay a foundation in the county town with my skills in making friends. In the future, if I work on it slowly, I might one day be able to overturn the case for my parents."
"It's ridiculous to think about it now. I'm just an official prostitute. Even if I have the means, I'm just an item that can be exchanged casually. Haha, this is Xiaowan's naivety."
Lu Xiaowan's words made Su Qian feel uncomfortable.
The hope that kept Lu Xiaowan alive was that one day he could overturn the case for his parents, but in the end, his hope was shattered. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not change his fate. It sounded so sad.
In the feudal society of Great Liang, women have no status, especially official prostitutes. To put it bluntly, they are just playthings in the hands of big shots from wealthy families.
Su Qi'an, who has received modern education, deeply hates this.
If Lu Xiaowan lived in modern times, she would definitely have a better life with her intelligence.
Looking at Lu Xiaowan who looked resigned to his fate, Su Qian's eyes flashed and he suddenly said.
"Miss Xiaowan, do you believe me? If I can save you..."
