Chapter 97: CFV Ch.97 Bribery(5)

On the other side, Ying'Er was carrying Qin Jiu's food box into Mrs Su's room. Immediately, a servant took over the food box and was about to place it out for Mrs Su.

Once Mrs Su sat down, she grabbed a pau with her chopsticks, on the first bite......

"Ka-Ta!"

Her expression instantly changed, her teeth were sore as she bit on a hard object.

She didn't care about her etiquette and quickly spit out the pau that was in her mouth.

In addition to the doughy skin and the minced meat from the pau, there were also grain-sized rocks and a small piece of her fractured teeth.

The servants that were standing beside turned pale as they all noticed that a small piece of Mrs Su's teeth had fell off.

"Pa!"

Mrs Su slapped the table hard, the bowls and plates on the table trembled, even some of the egg porridge spilled.

Her expression was dark, she used her pair of chopsticks to check the rest of the dishes, the egg porridge was mixed with the seeds of red dates and the jujube was undercooked.....

Ying'Er's eyes widened, in shock, she hurriedly knelt down and said with a trembling voice: " Mistress, I have no idea why......" She suddenly thought of Du Ruo, and corrected herself: " I know now! It must be the third mistress! I am sure it is her !"

Ying'Er then quickly talked about the incident just now—after telling her part of the story, she added: " It must be Du Ruo that switched the food box when I wasn't paying attention!"

Mrs Su felt angry and annoyed, she threw the chopsticks on the table, one of them fell from the table, " Pa" and dropped on the floor.

Mrs Su was pissed, she scolded: "Qin Jiu, this bitch, that grew up in a small village. She is indeed evil, unruly and uncultured."

The servants kept quiet, Mama Zhao comforted her: "Mistress, the third mistress is already 14 years old, she is a grown up now, it would be the best to find her a partner, so she can get married soon. You just have to tolerate her for a year or two."

Mrs Su could feel as if her chest was on fire, she angrily slammed the table again: "Someone needs to punish her!"

Madam Zhao could only agree with her, she signalled the servant beside her to serve her a cup of tea, and changed the subject: "Mrs Su, the second mistress requested for a carriage, she mentioned that she'll head out later."

Mrs Su frowned and said: "Everyone is just being such a nuisance!"

Qing Xi is going to be the second prince's future concubine, mama Zhao didn't dare to answer and could only smile apologetically.

Qing Xin went to Jing Zhao prison early in the morning.

She dressed differently from her usual, she wore a gray coat, a white and blue head scarf that dropped down, covering half of her looks.

She spoke to the guard with a low voice, bribed them with a pound of silver, and successfully entered Jing Zhao prison.

The guard brought her to one of the prison cells, and said in a rude and hoarse voice: "Be quick." The guard then walked out.

The person in the prison cell was priest Yun Guang.

Her hair was messy, her gaze empty, her green gown was covered with blood stains, she looked completely different than her previous glorious self.

When she saw the embroidered shoes stop in front of the cell door, she looked up, and smiled, hardly making a sound: "Second Mistress Qin......"

Her voice sounded hoarse, yet with a strange smile, she said " You're finally here!"

Qing Xi's expression changed.

Since Yun Guang's scandal was known to the world, Qing Xi was scared that Yun Guang would rat her out as well. Since Yun Guang had nothing more to lose right now.

She finally had the chance to meet Yun Guang.

"Priest Yun Guang," Qing Xi tried to stay calm, and said in a direct manner: " You will most probably be exiled. As long as you don't rat me out, I will reward you with a desirable amount of money, you'll be able to live a comfortable life."

Yun Guang looked at her in disbelief.

Qing Xi took a deep breath, and continued: "Priest Yun Guang, you clearly know that, even if you expose me, I can still let the Empress Dowager say a few nice words for me. What you have done is unforgivable, you can't just walk out of here, you have to be exiled, why bother!"

Of course, Yun Guang knew about this.

That's why even if she was being tortured by the Jing Zhao's officers, she only confessed about the birth charm, she didn't mention Qing Xi at all.

She knew from the start, Qing Xi would be worried and eventually visit her one day.

Yun Guang chuckled, "Second mistress Qin, if this was known to the world, I would still have to be punished, but you would not be able to be the second prince's concubine anymore.
