A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

Chapter 83 Su Siyan's Request

Now Lin Qingyang has become Princess An, so what if she was a country girl in the past.

At the banquet, Su Siyan was graceful and did only what he was supposed to do, with proper etiquette. The families of other officials were also courteous and considerate, without any unnecessary movements.

When he returned to the post station in the evening, Lin Qingyang asked what he had been holding back all day.

"I saw Su Siyan today." Lin Qingyang knew that Prince An would not be surprised. After all, he had also seen the illegitimate son of Marquis Ping'an.

"Why is she here?" Lin Qingyang asked.

After sitting down, Prince An said slowly:

"Although Tao Boyan is the illegitimate son of Marquis Ping'an, Marquis Ping'an loves him very much."

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup on the table and prepared to pour a glass of water. However, he picked up the teapot and shook it, and found that there was no water, so he walked towards the door with the pot in his hand.

He handed the pot to the servant at the door and turned back.

"Why is there no water?"

After a while, the servant came up with a teapot full of water.

Xiao Wang An poured himself some water again.

Then he said, "Didn't the incident between him and the Su family's daughter have a bad influence? After they got married, Ping An Hou asked the emperor to arrange Tao Boyan here. After all, Tao Boyan has always been famous for his talent and pretended to be noble. After a while, who would remember his affairs? Besides, this place may not be a bad place for him."

Lin Qingyang thought to herself, Su Siyan was so noble, what would happen if his reputation was ruined? But the couple changed their environment and are now doing well.

After all, it is better to be favored. Marquis Ping'an never sought benefits for his legitimate son, but he could do so for his illegitimate son.

Su Siyan and Tao Boyan knew that they were the ones who framed them, so they had to be careful now that they were in someone else's territory.

Prince Xiao An went around the place as a routine matter to learn about the local government affairs and economy. After finishing these tasks, he took Lin Qingyang out for various "outings".

Visiting academies, worshipping temples, and strolling through the streets did not look like he was coming to Jiangnan to investigate anything. Fortunately, Xiao An had a bad reputation when he was out having fun, so Tao Boyan and others relaxed when they saw that he did not take any action. They wrote back to the capital to describe all of Xiao An's actions.

In addition to Tao Boyan's letters, letters from spies sent by the emperor also arrived in the capital.

The emperor would send people to Jiangnan every year, and among the accompanying officials there would be spies to investigate some of the tasks given by the emperor.

Prince Xiao An took Lin Qingyang to travel around the mountains and rivers not to show off to the local officials, nor to the Xiao family and the prince's people, but to the emperor. Prince Xiao An also had his own mission.

After Prince Xiao An and Lin Qingyang had visited the academy for a few days, Tao Boyan and Su Siyan came to the post station and gave them gifts.

"Your Highness and Princess have visited many academies and book collection pavilions recently. I brought some ancient books with me today. I wonder if your Highness and Princess are interested."

As they spoke, Tao Boyan and Su Siyan asked someone to bring up the books. Some of the books were wrapped very elegantly. As they opened them layer by layer, they finally saw a few precious old-fashioned books.

"This is the book I just got. If Your Majesty likes it, I will leave it to Your Majesty."

Tao Boyan looked fawning, as if he had been in the officialdom for many years.

Xiao An Wang picked up the book and showed it to Lin Qingyang. Lin Qingyang pretended to be very interested and took the book and flipped through it.

"This book is hard to find. You must have spent a lot of time on it. A gentleman does not take away what others love." Lin Qingyang's eyes were reluctant to let go, but his hand put the book back.

Tao Su looked at each other, and Su Siyan smiled and said, "Princess, if you like it, you should stay. Anyway, the prince and princess are not in a hurry to leave. You can read the book first. If you don't like it, it won't be too late to return it to us."

After saying that, Lin Qingyang picked up the book: "Okay!"

Tao Boyan discussed official matters with Prince Xiao An for a while, while Lin Qingyang and Su Siyan chatted in the garden of the post station.

Lin Qingyang didn't expect that Su Siyan would take the initiative to talk about the capital.

"It's only been a few months since I married into the Tao family and you married into the palace. When you first came to the capital, did you know how much hatred you incurred because of your beauty?" Su Siyan said it as if nothing had happened.

"I'm not from Beijing, so I don't know how I offended anyone." Lin Qingyang and Su Siyan had almost the same expression.

"It's only been a few months, and our Su family has been asking me to cling to rich and powerful people. I have worked hard to earn the title of a talented woman. If I hadn't had any delusions, my life would be pretty good now." Su Siyan sighed.

"The Su family hasn't contacted me for a long time." Su Siyan said with a lonely look.

Lin Qingyang looked at her, not knowing whether she was sincere or not, and what she was going to do.

Lin Qingyang was thinking when Su Siyan suddenly knelt down.

"Princess, I know you have doubts about me. I treated you badly in the past, and you made me suffer, but now I really need your help."

Lin Qingyang thought: Isn’t your method a bit fake?

Su Siyan pulled up his sleeves to show Lin Qingyang the wounds on his body. There were bruises, brown wounds, wounds of different degrees and from different times hidden in invisible places under his clothes.

Lin Qingyang was cold for a moment, grabbed Su Siyan's arm and took a look. She was sure that these injuries were real, and some were old injuries, some were about to heal, and some were new injuries.

"What's going on?" Lin Qingyang asked.

"Princess, after I married Tao Boyan, she treated me very well on the surface, but she often beat and scolded me in private. I had no choice but to endure it. The Su family doesn't want me anymore, and I have nowhere to go. This is not the capital, and I am not familiar with it. Princess, you are a good person, can you help me?"

Although Su Siyan was asking, he held on to Lin Qingyang's sleeve and refused to let go.

"How can I help you? How about you divorce her?" Lin Qingyang asked.

"I don't know where to go. I heard that the princess has her own shop in the capital. If you take me back to the capital, I will help you do the work."

Su Siyan was crying so hard that Lin Qingyang felt like she was about to believe it.

But what is she trying to do by making such a fuss?

"How did he treat you?"

Lin Qingyang looked at Su Siyan's appearance to judge whether it was true or not.

"He beats me every once in a while when he's not happy. He has two concubines, and sometimes he compares me with them. He will divorce me before I even divorce him. I really won't be able to do anything about it by then. Princess, please make the decision for me!"

Lin Qingyang moved back, and Su Siyan followed suit.

"Princess, if the prince wants to check here, I might be able to help. I know what he has handled in the past few months, and I also know where his account books are. As long as the princess takes me away, I can do anything."

Lin Qingyang looked at her, blinked, and said:

"It's not good for me to keep you here suddenly. How about this? Go back today and prepare the evidence you mentioned. Next time, tell me you want to have tea with me. I will help you leave him and take you back to Beijing or settle you somewhere else. How about that?"

Su Siyan nodded and agreed.

After Su Siyan and Tao Boyan left, Lin Qingyang told King Xiao An what had just happened.

"I would have believed it if it was anyone else. Although her injuries are real, some of them are really like fake antiques and can be made to look old. But what is her purpose?"

Little Prince An didn't look at her, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "You offended someone, and now you are in her territory, so naturally she wants to get back at you."

After saying that, he smiled, left his seat, went to the couch with a teapot and teacup in his hand, and poured a cup of boiling water out the window...
