Chapter 130 - Out Of Control

Chapter 130 Out of Control

“…It’s not you?”

Fang Yuan was a little surprised. It’s not Fang Yuan’s fault to suspect Su Li. It’s just because Su Li was too calm when she heard that the official sliver was found in the Baiwei Building just now. That’s the reason why Fang Yuang would suspect her.

“If you have time, you can think about how to save the situation.”

Seeing that Su Huanli was dragged away by officers and soldiers, Su Li said coldly, “I don’t have time to rebuild the Linli Building in other provincial capital.”

Seeing that Su Li left, Fang Yuan frowned a moment, but then he was relieved.

After thinking carefully, Fang Yuan was sure that Su Li didn’t arrange people to steal the official silver. Because if she did so, the Linli Building would also be in trouble and the prosperous situation of the Linli Building would be destroyed. Fang Yuan only saw that Su Li hated the Su Family but forgot that Su Li had her own principles.

Su Li made an agreement with Yan Ziye and Yan Hongxiu and also lent one million taels of silver to Yan Shixun. All these moves could prove that Su Li valued and supported the Yan Family, so Su Li wouldn’t obstruct her own way and got the Yan Family in trouble.

“I was impulsive just now.”

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan was a little regret because he not only mistook the whole thing but wronged Su Li. Fang Yuan himself felt that he was so stupid just now, let alone Su Li.

“Fang Yuan, why are you still standing there? Men in black took action again. Su Li was already on the way to the school.”

Qu Qingning came in and shouted hurriedly. Fang Yuan woke up from his thought and left with Qu Qingning in haste.

It was dawn when Su Li arrived at the school. After a while, Wen Ruomin passed her a message and invited her to discuss something important. Su Li found that Yan Shixun was also there when she arrived.

Seeing that Su Li came with a puzzled expression, Wen Ruomin was really sad. This girl didn’t know what happened last night yet

“Dean, why do you get me here so early?”

Su Li asked confusedly and then turned around as if she just saw Yan Shixun. She saluted, “I am Su Li. Nice to meet you, Satrap Yan.”

Yan Shixun nodded slightly with a serious and guilty expression.

“Su Li, you are here. I want to tell you something.”

Wen Ruomin looked at Su Li worriedly. Then he held Su Li’s hands and hesitated for a long time before she began to say.

“Satrap Yan knew that your father and others didn’t steal the official silver, but the Jin Family and the Lin Family kept a close eye on it, so he could only arrest your father. In this way, Satrap Yan can’t be caught out and he can also protect your father in this way.”

Su Li was going to cry, but she suppressed her emotions. She nodded while biting her lips slightly. Wen Ruomin was both satisfied and distressed. Because she thought that it was a little cruel for Su Li, a considerate sixteen-year-old girl, to be involved in the tricks among adults.

“Look at this scrip. It was sent to the entrance of the school by a beggar. I arranged people to investigate who wrote it, but…it seems that it will not be fruitful.”

Then Wen Ruomin took the scrip on the table to Su Li. After seeing it carefully, Su Li looked grave.

The content of the scrip was not evil. It was a confidential letter for Su Li. Except for time and place they asked Su Li to meet and the way to distribute official silver, there were also their prospect for future in the scrip.

If Su Li didn’t stand here, she almost believed that she was really in cahoots with those culprits.

Wen Ruomin and Yan Shixun were not stupid. They realized soon what the problem was. If it was a confidential letter, they wouldn’t let a beggar send it to the entrance of the school. After discussing, Wen Ruomin and Yan Shixun reached a conclusion.

It seemed that the scrip was for Su Li, but in fact it was a letter that threatened Yan Shixun and Wen Ruomin to tell on Su Li.

“Dean, I don’t know the people in the letter!”

Su Li was short of breath and nervousness flashed through her eyes, as if she was afraid that Yan Shixun and Wen Ruomin didn’t believe her.

Wen Ruomin sighed and touched Su Li’s hair. She said with a smile, “Don’t be silly! We know you have nothing to do with them. In fact, the aim of the letter is to let us announce that you are the plotter.”

“What?”

Su Li opened her eyes wider and it seemed that she didn’t understand.

Yan Shixun frowned and stared at the wrinkled scrip in Su Li’s hands. Su Li who came from the Dasu Town was a quiet and good-tempered girl. She had a narrow social circle, so it was impossible for her to start a feud with those culprits. The only possibility was that she was implicated by them.

“Lord Yan, I probably know who frames Su Li.”

Wen Ruomin’s eyes were brightened with wise. She asked, “Su Li, did you offend someone when you went to see Dean Gong?

“Dean Gong?”

Su Li pretended to think carefully and then blurted out as if she had realized something, “Does Mrs. Gong set this trap? But I just contradicted her a little at that time. Is it necessary for her to do so?”

“Mrs. Gong… Wu Yun!”

Yan Shixun’s expression changed a lot and finally he looked grave. If Wu Yun truly have means, then she also has the ability to set such trap. Damn it! Why didn’t him think of that Wu Yun was the plotter behind this trick before!”

Hearing Su Li’s innocent words, Wen Ruomin gave a wry smile and said, “Su Li, you can’t judge someone by appearance. Wu Yun is a narrow-minded woman. She will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. In addition, her scheme was seen through by other seniors, so it is normal that she will frame some people to let her anger out. You are the easiest character among her enemies.”

“I get it.”

Su Li seemed to be suddenly enlightened, but then she said anxiously, “What should I do?”

“Workshop Owner Su!”

Yan Shixun who was silent by side just now finally said, “You should do as they asked to see who they are. I will arrange people to protect you secretly. If we see the scrip and don’t take action, they may escape with the official silver. As a result, I may be punished and lose my position. I don’t care because I can go back to my hometown with my families, but your father will be in trouble. Under the pressure of the Jin Family, I have to hand over him to the court. Workshop Owner Su, you…”

Su Li thought hard and then she said with conviction, “I am willing to have a try and I believe that there will be justice in the world. I am willing to accept the consequences. It is none of my father’s business.”

Hearing Su Li’s words, Yan Shixun felt guilty because he underestimated Su Li. Although Su Li was frightened, she was willing to bear all consequences for the sake of her heartless father and especially for the Yan Family.

Although Su Li was young, she understood everything…

“Alas, girl…”

Wen Ruomin was a little sad as if she thought of something happened in the past, but then she said in a definite and deep voice, “Little girl, don’t worry! I will do my utmost to arrange a senior to protect you secretly. Everything will be okay!”

Yan Shixun arranged officers and soldiers to send Su Li to the courtyard and then to protect her there after discussing the time in detail with Su Li and Wen Ruomin.

After Su Li and Yan Shixun left, Wen Ruomin sat dully for a moment and then took another scrip under the table. Wen Ruomin found this scrip beside her bed in the morning and she was the only one who knew the script.

The scrip read, “If Su Li doesn’t come, both the Yan Family and the Qinghe Girls’ School will be in trouble! Wen Ruomin, you can’t protect her, just like sixteen years ago. Ha-ha…”

Wen Ruomin was so angry that she torn the scrip to shreds.

Then Wen Ruomin glanced at the courtyard of Su Li and ordered, “Somebody! I am going to the Linli Building!”

Although the courtyard of the school was surrounded by officers and soldiers, Su Li sneaked out easily and then went back to the Linli Building.

“An intelligent conspirator is helping Wu Yun.”

Su Li put the scrip on the table and said calmly, “The conspirator could steal a great of official silver and burn embroideries without a trace. Therefore, the first possibility is that the conspirator has a high cultivation and can sneak into the warehouse without being noticed by guards.”

“The second possibility is that the conspirator masters high poison skills like you, which can make the pick of officers and soldiers fall into a trance without leaving any signs on them.”

Qu Qingning analyzed complacently, but Fang Yuan refuted, “It is impossible! If the conspirator used smoke, Yan Shixun could smell it, unless it’s the dark smoke Su Li refined.”

“Is there a third possibility?” Fang Mu sat at the table quietly and raised his hand, saying, “Traitors?”

“I don’t think so.” Yin Xuetong doubted, “The Satrap’s Mansion is an important place. The pick of officers and soldiers pledge to protect the Satrap’s Mansion and the warehouse. If there are traitors among them, are there any secrets in the Satrap’s Mansion?”

Seeing that they were discussing fiercely, Su Li smiled and said, “There must be traitors, but they aren’t in the Satrap’s Mansion, but in the Baiwei Building.”

Speaking of the Baiwei Building, everyone’s expression changed. Fang Yuan understood first and said coldly, “You mean…”

Su Li still smiled, and she said slowly, “Only Su Huanli was arrested. My dear Third Sister also went back to the inn to take care of my mom then. What a coincidence it is.”

“Zhu Yan and Su Zipei?”

Qu Qingning was astounded and doubted, “But why did they do that? First Madam just gave birth to a baby. What benefits she can get?”

Su Li didn’t answer him, but Yin Xuetong showed a thoughtful expression as if she wasn’t surprised for that Zhu Yan was the traitor.

At this moment, Heidan reported, “Big Brothers, Dean Wen of the Qinghe Girls’ School is coming without noticing us in advance.”

“Wen Ruomin?”

Su Li was puzzled and thought, “I just returned from the school. Does she…?”

They met in the reception room of the back hall in the Linli Building five minutes later. Su Li dressed as Ms. Li and sat with Wen Ruomin face to face. Yin Xuetong served tea for Wen Ruomin reverently and then left with a smile. That surprised Wen Ruomin a lot because she thought that Yin Xuetong, the shopkeeper of the Linli Building, was equal to her, but Yin Xuetong was a bit over friendly now.

When Wen Ruomin was wondering why, Su Li interrupted her.

“I haven’t seen you for a long time, but you are as graceful as before. I just wonder why Dean Wen comes here suddenly.”

Wen Ruomin was a little guilty. She stood up and said, “I heard that Mr. Li was improving your cultivation in silence, so I shouldn’t have disturbed you! But… I want to tell you a story, can you listen to me? Then I will tell you my request. It is related to Lecturer Su Li in my school…”

Su Li’s eyes were lit. But she still smiled calmly, “Dean Wen just tell me and I will listen to you carefully.”

Wen Ruomin was relieved and sighed, “Ms. Li is really polite. Eighteen years ago, there was an intelligent girl like Su Li. Her name was Su Yun…”
