When the adviser was in panic, a golden scroll flew from the sky and hit on his face by chance!

  “Ouch! Who beat me?”

  He grabbed the scroll furiously and stared at it dully in a sudden. His hands couldn’t help but shake as if he held a hot potato.

  This was…… the satrap’s edict of the Qinghe Province!!

  The satrap who governed a province of the Dahan Country was a real provincial magnate. He controlled many people’s fates. The difference between Li Shanbao and the satrap were like the difference between stars and the moon. They were not on the same level.

  A little adviser like him was more like an ant in front of the satrap. But today he even got the edict of the satrap!

  The adviser was so excited that he forgot Su Li was beside him. Then he looked up.

  More than 20 people who looked cold came to him. They seemed capable and vigorous from their sharp eyes.

  They rode precious horses which could run thousands of miles a day. Their gorgeous and extraordinary clothes glittered with gold. The golden patterns on their chests showed that they were all elite soldiers governed directly by Provincial Office of Qinghe Province.

  The leader was a woman in a cyan cloak. Her face was pale obviously due to the travel of a long way. Su Li saw the woman with her eyebrows raised a little. But she didn’t say anything.

  The woman in cyan glimpsed at Su Li and the two soldiers beside her who held the cangue. She suddenly looked seriously and then shouted with a snort, “Control all the officers and soldiers!”

  The elite soldiers got down from the horses and quickly controlled the adviser, other officers and soldiers who dared not resist.

  “Lord, there must be some misunderstanding!”

  The adviser was held by two elite soldiers from the right and left. He trembled with fear.

  “Lord!”

  At the moment, Li Shanbao in an official uniform ran in panic and stooped to give a salute to the woman, “You came from afar, but I didn’t get the news in time. So, I could not welcome you early. It’s all my fault!!”

  “Lord Li, don’t speak like that.” The woman in cyan looked at Li Shanbao and said with a faint smile on her face, “I am not an official in the court, so you don’t have to give a salute to me. I come here only to give an edict for the satrap.”

  Li Shanbao was so scared that he perspired cold sweat heavily. He said in a low voice, “The edict of the satrap?!”

  Did they know that he was corrupted for many years?

  The woman in cyan nodded to the elite soldiers who held the adviser. One of the soldiers immediately took the golden scroll from the hand of the adviser, unfolded it and read,

  “It’s heard that there is a girl named Su Li in the Dasu Town! She is talented and learned at only 15 years old. No one can compete with her in knowledge. She knows the true meaning of the Dictionary of Dahan, which made the headmaster of the Muyang School acknowledge the superiority of her!”

  “After three days of enrollment, she got the admiration of the senior embroidery artificer by her embroidery skills. She is really a genius!”

  “I am glad to hear that and cannot let her live in oblivion in Dasu Town! I hereby make an exception. Su Li, the second daughter of the Su Family in the Dasu Town, is appointed to be an honorary lecturer of the Qinghe Girls’ School. I hope that she can continue to work hard and live up to her talents!”

  \r \r \r

  Wow!!!

  All the people around there were stunned. There were lots of disturbances these days in Dasu Town. But this was the most shocking one. Su Li’s name even heard by the satrap of Qinghe Province. She even became a female lecturer at 15 years old. How glorious it was!

  Suddenly, they all looked at Li Shanbao and the adviser. Their eyes were full of anger that being deceived, and there were more inenarrable eccentricity and gloat.

  The expressions of the adviser and Li Shanbao distorted. In the end, it seemed that a spell is cast on them so they were all stunned in the wind.

  There were hundreds of words in the edict, but only one person was mentioned. And it’s Su Li who they wanted to kill together!

  This time…… something really big was going to happen!

  Li Shanbao shook with fear. He was smart and was the first to realize what’s going on. He was so scared that his voice changed. He said, “Don’t be in a daze. Throw these shameful things away!”

  The two officers with the cangue went pale. When they saw all the elite soldiers of Qinghe Province looked at them, they fainted with fear.

  Li Shanbao looked pale too. He bent over and forced a smile that was uglier than cry, “Lord, there must be some misunderstanding. It’s the Su Family and the Yang Family, I also……”

  “Lord Li!” The woman in cyan directly interrupted Li Shanbao and smiled, “You can say anything you want in Qinghe Province. I am not from the government. I have already told you, right?”

  Li Shanbao looked extremely bitter. It turned out that the woman was asking him to admit his guilt in Qinghe Province.

  The Qinghe Girls’ School was the first school in Qinghe Province. It’s official. If he reasonably offended a lecturer of this school, he could argue for himself. But he and the Yang Family knew that all these things were fake. They couldn’t be checked!

  Thinking of this, Li Shanbao’s legs could not help but tremble. He felt suffocated. Su Li obviously stood not far from him, but he couldn’t step forward!

  Today he almost put Su Li into the pig cage. Such great hatred……Begging was useless.

  After finishing her duty, the woman in cyan walked to Su Li with the cold eyes. She said in a low voice, “This is a chance that my father gives you with the cost of his reputation. If you let him down, I’ll take revenge on you.”

  Su Li blinked her eyes and figured out the reason why this woman would save her.

  It turned out that the elder teacher was the headmaster of the Muyang Girls’ School. No wonder he protected her so much. The woman was his daughter. Although she did not know what Ning Yunzhi had promised to the satrap, the cost must be great.

  There was only one thing which she was puzzled about. Why the elder teacher helped her so much? It seemed that it’s not just because she was a student of the Muyang Girls’ School.

  Maybe it would be clear until Qi Xianqing returned.

  Thinking of this, Su Li gently nodded.

  The woman in cyan was still not happy, but this was the request of her father. She had to obey him.

  Li Shanbao and the adviser saw them talking to each other. They thought the woman and Su Li were intimate. Li Shanbao regretted so much and scolded secretly. The Yang Family said that Su Li was easy to bully. Where was the woman from? She could even get help from the Qinghe Provincial Office. How couldn’t she have the backing!!

  “Take my order! Investigate the matter about Su Li for three days thoroughly, after which we will leave for the Qinghe Province. Then we will write all the clues in a document and give it to the satrap!”

  As the woman in cyan shouted lightly, the elite soldiers answered quickly!

  Li Shanbao fainted.

  He was doomed!

  In the Jinyuan Court of the Su House, Su Li and Mammy Li returned to their old house. One was expressionless and the other looked complicated.

  Mammy Li thought that she had experienced ups and downs with the previous miss, but she never had such exciting experiences which happened in these days. The confrontation between the miss and the Su Family with the Yang Family almost changed every day.

  As soon as she thought that she almost encumbered the miss, she was sad and uncomfortable like her heart was seized. The feeling of guilt could not disappear. She could only repay her by taking care of her carefully in the future.

  “Previous miss, thanks for your blessing. I find a master who I can trust. Although she has a lot of secrets and sometimes I am a little scared, she is very kind to me. Previous miss, please rest assured……”

  In the kitchen, Mammy Li took out a half piece of jade pendant from her arms and closed her eyes to pray silently.

  Su Li stood in the empty study and slightly squinted her eyes without saying anything.

  Ning Qing looked up and down and she frowned slightly. The decorations were very luxurious but gaudy. If Su Li had such taste, her father and Su Li would be mocked by others.

  “Did you live here before?”

  She could not help but ask. Su Li nodded, “The house was decorated by my mother. It has been changed beyond recognition.”

  Qing Ning’s expression was softened a little. She heard the status quo of the Su Family. Su Li was so brilliant even she was born in this kind of family. If she were Su Li, she would sever the relationship with the family and run away from home.

  “Take care of your family affairs in three days. Then, go to Qinghe Province with me. My father was waiting for you there.”

  Hearing what she said, Su Li nodded, “Lecturer Ning, can I take a person to the Qinghe Girls’ School with me?”

  Ning Qing frowned and suddenly felt Su Li was insatiable and ungrateful. But, she didn’t vent her anger but asked, “Who do you want to take? If you want to take Mammy Li, it is fine. After all, she has been taking care of you. But if you want to take others to the Qinghe Girls’ School, then, no. Do you know that your situation is still not safe?”

  Su Li shook her head and said, “It’s Mei Ruohan. She also dropped out. But it’s no problem for her to enter the Qinghe Girls’ School by taking the entrance examination. Can I take her with us?”

  “You want to take her.”

  Qing Ning suddenly understood and her face was slightly hot. She thought that Su Li wanted to practice favoritism. She measured the mind of Su Li by the yardstick of a knave. Mei Ruohan was a good girl. She got involved in this matter by the Yang Family. It is understandable for Su Li to take her to the Qinghe Girls’ School.

  “Since she won’t get in by backdoor deals, there is no problem to take her. I will send someone to inform the Mei Family.”

  Ning Qing nodded and left with her soldiers. She even didn’t look at Su Huanli who was like a servant.

  After Ning Qing got out of the door of the Jinyuan Court, Su Huanli drew back his head and straightened himself up. Then he said with his bitter face and a shivering voice, “Li, I never thought that the Yang Family was so vicious. Your grandmother did all those things and she didn’t tell me at all. Please don’t misunderstand me!”

  Su Huanli was lying in the bed comfortably. When he heard what happened in the town, he was so scared. He immediately jumped out of the bed without spitting blood and feeling hurt on his head. Then he ran to the Jinyuan Court and drove Su Zipei and Zhu Yan out. And then he cleaned up the Jinyuan Court in a hurry to show his attitude.

  He was really frightened. Su Li had the filial piety in ordinary days, but this time she almost died. Although he was not directly involved in this matter, he did not stop it. He just watched Mam. Su-Cui drive Su Li into a corner.

  Su Li quietly sat at the desk and played with a brush without saying a word.

  Su Huanli was more flurried, “Li, forgive me! I was forced. I couldn’t stop your grandmother! Can you forgive me if I kneel down in front of you?!”

  Su Huanli knelt down as he said and cried.

  Su Li sighed slightly and lifted Su Huanli up. She said gently, “Daddy, I don’t blame you. I even don’t blame grandma and mother. I will not send them to jail. I just do not understand why they treated me like that. I didn’t do anything. Did……did I do anything wrong?”

  Su Li sobbed as she said. Su Huanli comforted her at once, but he was overjoyed inside. He did not expect that Su Li cared about the family affection. That was easy! The officials could not judge the domestic affairs. As long as Su Li did not blame them, not only him but also his mother would be fine.
