Chapter 247 Blackmail
Su Yunrou didn't want to stay here any longer. The longer she stayed, the more unfavorable the situation would become for her.
She ignored Su Qingwan and walked straight out.
If the death of the eldest brother could be blamed on Su Qingwan, it would definitely be a good thing for her and her mother.
"Second sister, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Haven't you ever thought that Su Yuejie is still awake?" Su Qingwan reminded.
"This is impossible!"
Su Yunrou suddenly turned around and looked at Su Yuejie lying on the bed.
His face was ashen and his eyes were staring at him lifelessly. He didn't look like a living person at all.
"Why do you think it's impossible? How about I ask a doctor to come and check him out? Who knows, he might be able to survive."
Su Qingwan’s words made Su Yunrou even more uncertain.
But she knew that she must not let Su Qingwan go to see a doctor, so she could only leave faster than her.
Thinking of this, Su Yunrou raised her legs and ran quickly towards the door, but before she reached the door, Su Qingwan grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
She didn't expect Su Qingwan to be so strong. Not only did she pull her back, but she also threw herself directly onto the bed, facing Su Yuejie's face with his eyes open.
Su Yunrou was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but she covered her mouth tightly with her hands to avoid making any loud noise.
Seeing this, Su Qingwan couldn't help but admire Su Yunrou's ability to control herself, which was truly rare and amazing.
"What are you doing?"
Although the King of Qi had been to the Marquis' Mansion before, he was not familiar with the environment here, so he got lost.
Fortunately, he met a maid who listened to his instructions and took him to find Su Yunrou.
But as soon as he came in, he saw Su Qingwan bullying Su Yunrou. He was so angry that he shouted at her.
Su Qingwan saw that King Qi had finally arrived, and secretly praised Shanhu for her high efficiency.
"King Qi, can't you see? I'm catching the murderer who killed Su Yuejie." Su Qingwan said directly.
"Su Yuejie is dead?" King Qi asked in surprise.
When did it happen?
Soon, King Qi saw Su Yuejie lying on the bed with his eyes wide open. His ashen face clearly showed a look of death.
"Your Highness!" Su Yunrou called hesitantly.
It seemed as if his limbs were weak and he couldn't move at all.
Upon seeing this, the King of Qi immediately stepped forward with concern and helped the man down from the bed.
At this time, the King of Qi had already noticed something was wrong. When she came in just now, there was a night guard sleeping on the small couch outside.
But the boy hasn't woken up yet. He is most likely dead or drugged.
This situation can only mean that there must be something strange about Su Yuejie's death.
He didn't care who killed Su Yuejie. After all, in his eyes, he was just an insignificant man, and whether he was dead or alive had nothing to do with him.
But Yun Rou cannot be implicated in this matter. If she is implicated, it will affect her reputation, which will only make her father have a worse impression of her.
"Yun Rou, are you okay? Why are you here?" asked King Qi.
Su Yunrou felt wronged when she heard this, but before she could come up with a reason, Su Qingwan said indifferently:
"She came to kill Su Yuejie, because if Su Yuejie died, she could be in mourning, and naturally she could legitimately delay her engagement with Prince Rui."
Su Yunrou hurriedly shook her head, tears flying out.
"I didn't, Your Highness. She is wronging me."
King Qi simply didn't believe that the kind-hearted Yun Rou would do such a thing as murder. This was most likely a frame-up by Su Qingwan.
"Su Qingwan, you keep talking nonsense like that. Aren't you afraid that I will take your life?" King Qi threatened.
Su Qingwan smiled awkwardly.
"Of course I'm scared, but you can try to see if you can take my life."
The King of Qi narrowed his eyes and for the first time regretted not bringing more people with him when he came to the Marquis' Mansion.
"King Qi, you don't believe that Su Yunrou killed Su Yuejie, do you think other people will believe it? After all, there are a large population in the capital city. If everyone thinks so, then does it matter whether this matter is true or not?" Su Qingwan asked with a smile.
"I didn't!" Su Yunrou emphasized again.
But her voice was too weak and lacked any power.
"Your Highness the Prince of Qi is a smart man. He must understand how terrible it is to be slandered by public opinion. What would happen if the emperor knew about it? But if you want me to forget what happened just now, that's fine too." Su Qingwan said.
King Qi: "What do you want?"
He finally realized that Su Qingwan was deliberately throwing dirty water on Yun Rou in order to gain some benefits.
"Cuiwei Villa in the north of the city, plus one hundred thousand taels of silver." Su Qingwan asked without any hesitation.
The Prince of Qi is a prince, so naturally she has to ask for more. After all, if she asks for too little, it might not be able to highlight the Prince of Qi's deep affection for Su Yunrou.
"Su Qingwan, are you crazy?"
Without waiting for King Qi to speak, Su Yunrou spoke first.
She felt that Su Qingwan had really gone insane. Not only did she want King Qi's villa, she also asked for extra silver, and she wanted one hundred thousand taels.
King Qi was also shocked by the conditions Su Qingwan mentioned!
He suspected that he had heard it wrong and couldn't help but pick his ears.
"You want my Cuiwei Villa and one hundred thousand taels of silver?" King Qi asked uncertainly.
"That's right!" Su Qingwan said affirmatively, "If you don't have silver, you can exchange it for two pieces of gold."
That’s fine!
King Qi stared at Su Qingwan with a look of despair, and at this time he had already decided to kill Su Qingwan.
"You don't have the ability to blackmail me." After the King of Qi finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped Su Qingwan.
Although he is a prince, he has also practiced martial arts and is confident that he can easily deal with Su Qingwan.
But before she could meet Su Qingwan, she was stopped by someone.
He had seen this person before. She was the maid who followed Su Qingwan.
"Get out of here!" the King of Qi shouted impatiently.
However, Zhenzhu not only did not move away, but instead avoided the fist and raised her hand to block it with an elbow, which forced the King of Qi to retreat and unable to stand steadily.
"Your Highness Prince Qi, it seems that you are not sincere to my second sister. You are reluctant to even give this little hush money." Su Qingwan felt very regretful.
When King Qi heard that Su Qingwan was actually trying to sow discord between him and Yun Rou, he became so angry that he wanted to kill Su Qingwan.
However, he was quite afraid of the girl beside her. He knew that he could not kill Su Qingwan by himself.
"Su Qingwan, I can give you what you want, but why should I trust you?" asked the King of Qi.
"That's your business. I just want what I said just now. Oh, it's not possible now. You scared me just now. Then add the hundred acres of fertile land in Jiangnan County." Su Qingwan smiled gently.
Jiangnan County was a rich land of fish and rice. The hundreds of acres of fertile land there were very valuable, and it was just right to compensate for the shock he had just received.
Su Yunrou clenched her fists. If possible, she really wanted to rush forward and strangle Su Qingwan's neck.
