I just want to live a good life

Chapter 349: Fu Sheng's Background

"What's that called? Master?"

Su Qingmo asked.

Su Nuan shook her head. She didn't like the master-servant relationship. "Call me Su Nuan."

Anyway, I can't use the name Xia Qingyan after I leave the imperial city, so I might as well go back to my real name.

"Su Nuan, Su Nuan, your last name is Su like mine, this name is good."

Ye Xiaobai suddenly said: "I don't care what they call you, I will still call you Miss!"

Chu Qi agreed with Ye Xiaobai and also called Su Nuan "Miss".

Su Qingmo chuckled twice, "The name is good, but it doesn't sound easy to say. It's easier to say 'Miss'."

Are you kidding? After all, she is the prince's concubine. Even if it is a fake name, they dare not call her by her name.

Just call her Miss, as long as she doesn’t need to be called “Concubine Xia”. Su Nuan silently accepted the title.

Today, several people still went out to look for Fusheng. Although the chance of finding Fusheng was much greater with the addition of Song Qi, the four of them could not just wait in the yard.

It was still the same grouping as yesterday, Chu Qi and Su Qingmo were in one group, and Su Nuan and Ye Xiaobai were in another group.

The scope of the search is no longer limited to South City.

The four people divided their areas of responsibility and set off.

Su Nuan's goal today is half to find Fusheng, and the other half to find out the progress of Xia Changze's case.

She and Ye Xiaobai asked along the way and finally arrived near the Ministry of Justice.

Su Nuan just wanted to see Lord Shen arrest Chen Zhong and bring him to justice, and clear Xia Changze's name.

So she stayed near the Ministry of Justice for the whole day.

However, among the many people coming in and out of the Criminal Department that day, there was no sign of Chen Zhong.

She also spent one or two taels of silver to ask Ye Xiaobai to inquire about the situation.

According to a cook in the kitchen, there is no news about Xia Changze's case.

No matter how important the money is, it is not as important as the innocence of the third brother. The next day, Su Nuan came to the Ministry of Justice to inquire about the news. There was still no news about the arrest of Chen Zhong today. There was a notice for the arrest of a wanted criminal at the door of the Ministry of Justice. Although the notice only drew a portrait without mentioning the name, the person in the portrait was 70% similar to Song Qi. Su Nuan was sure that the person the Ministry of Justice wanted to arrest was Song Qi.

What's happening here?

How did Song Qi become a wanted criminal by the Ministry of Justice?

If Ye Xiaobai hadn't stopped Su Nuan, she would have rushed into the Ministry of Justice to find Lord Shen and ask for clarification.

"Miss, let's ask Song Qi first, what if he really did commit a crime?"

Su Nuan knew that this possibility was very slim, but the situation at hand could not be explained, so she had to ask the person involved first.

Affected by this incident, she had no mood to do anything else the whole day.

In order to see Song Qi, Su Nuan and Ye Xiaobai returned to the courtyard early.

The time agreed with Song Qi was Youshi. Su Nuan started waiting from half past Shenshi. After waiting for an hour and still not seeing anyone, she started to panic.

Unable to sit still in the room, he ran to the yard to wait. Unable to stay in the yard either, he ran to the door to wait.

I didn't even have time to eat.

Just when I was getting anxiously waiting, I suddenly heard a cough from the yard next door.

Su Nuan was shocked. She had lived in the courtyard for two nights and had never heard any noise from next door. She thought no one lived there.

If she could calm down and think about it at this moment, she would definitely find that something was wrong next door.

With her amazing hearing, she could hear someone next door opening or walking a few steps in the yard, but she didn't hear any sound for two nights. This could only mean that either there was no one next door before, or that the person was like a ghost and moved without making any sound.

Unfortunately, before Su Nuan had time to think about it, her attention was attracted by a figure opening the door and walking towards the courtyard.

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief only when the man came closer. That man was Song Qi.

As soon as they met, Song Qi lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Boss, I can't find the person."

Su Nuan let the man into the house, and then replied: "It's okay, he got such a large sum of money, maybe he has already run away."

Song Qi said, "No, I heard that he bought a shop two days ago. Someone who takes the money and runs away won't do such a thing."

"You said he bought a shop? Where did he buy it?"

"On Hengsi Street."

"Did he really buy a shop, and it's on Hengsi Street?" Su Nuan murmured.

Could it be that I had wrongly accused Fusheng? But since he had bought the shop, why did he hide?

The question was quickly answered, "Fusheng seems to have been in close contact with someone recently. I guess this person might be..."

Song Qi didn't say the man's name, but he and Su Nuan already knew it tacitly.

Fusheng was originally Yingshu's man. If Yingshu returned to the imperial city, it would make sense for Fusheng to leave him and go back to Yingshu.

"Is Ying Shu really just Fu Sheng's employer?"

Su Nuan asked Song Qi.

"When I went to Liangyi Zhai, Fusheng was already there. Judging from his usual behavior, he was indeed just a servant hired by Mr. Ying. But..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that I've never heard Fusheng mention his family."

Hearing this, Su Nuan frowned.

Some of the three people who were listening to the conversation between the two felt puzzled.

Chu Qi acted as a representative and asked the other two people's questions: "He didn't mention any problems with his family?"

"Yes." Su Nuan answered, "He worked odd jobs in Liangyi Zhai all day, and interacted with the shop owners and shop assistants in Zhusheng Street. It was inevitable that he would chat with them about family matters. When chatting about family matters, it is inevitable to mention one's own life, but Fusheng never mentioned his family. What does this mean?"

"It means he has no family." Ye Xiaobai answered quickly. Isn't this the same as him? Because he has no family, he never mentions his family when chatting with others.

"That's not right," Su Qingmo retorted, "We went to his home yesterday to ask around. He has a father, a mother, brothers and sisters, a large family, how could he not have family members?"

"Then why didn't he mention his family?"

Neither Chu Qi nor Ye Xiaobai could answer this question, so the three of them turned their eyes to Su Nuan at the same time.

Seeing this, Su Nuan said, "Maybe he doesn't like him, maybe he doesn't want people to know his background, maybe..."

"Maybe what?"

The three asked in unison.

Song Qi answered the question for Su Nuan, "Maybe they are not his family at all, there is nothing to say."

"Not his family?"

The three of them were very surprised and signaled Song Qi to elaborate with their eyes.

Song Qi said: "I just suspected it, but I haven't had time to verify it yet."

Su Nuan asked Song Qi: "When did you start to doubt him?"

"A long time ago."

Not investigating Fusheng was probably Song Qi's greatest kindness to Fusheng. Su Nuan said in a deep voice, "Let's check tomorrow. If there is really a problem with Fusheng's identity, things will be complicated."

The other three looked at each other, unable to understand what complicated problems a clerk who embezzled his boss's money would have.
