Lady Su’s Revenge
chapter-77

Sure enough, if he knew that during this time, he was blackmailed by Su Li for 600,000 taels and two lands, he probably wanted to kill her.

“Li, when you go to the Qinghe Girls’ School, work hard and don’t disgrace our Su Family!”

“OK, Daddy!”

The scene of the Jinyuan Court was extremely harmonious. It seemed that there was no misunderstanding between the father and the daughter.

As the news spread, people of the town all knew that Su Li became the female lecturer of the Qinghe Girls’ School. Li Shanbao was temporarily taken into custody. Ning Qing put the satrap edict on the notice board. Every day countless people even those near the towns came to watch!

The satrap was the highest position in the Qinghe Province. People all wanted to have a look at the edict written by him!

Because of this edict, Su Li’s fame spread out completely. The Mei Family also got the news towards evening.

“Miss! Miss! Good news!”

Guo came in from the outside and she was full of joy.

Mei Ruohan frowned and asked, “Is it concerned with Li?”

For her, good news which was not concerned with Su Li was not a good one. The Yang Family was terrible and even the business of their family was affected. The Yang Family wanted to force her to admit her mistakes. She didn’t admit she was wrong. It made many people in her family dissatisfied.

How was Su Li now? The Su Family would not protect her…

“Miss, it’s about Miss Su Li!”

Guo said excitedly. Mei Ruohan’s face was bright with excitement. She said, “What is the good news? Tell me right now!”

When Guo was about to say, a sweet voice suddenly came out from the door.

“Han, good news!”

A woman who looked gorgeous and rich came from the outside. She kindly said, “Your friend Su Li becomes the student of the Qinghe Girls’ School. She is so lucky.”

“Fourth Aunt.”

Mei Ruohan stood up to give a salute, but her eyes flashed with a bit of disgust. She remembered that a few days ago, the Fourth Aunt said that she made friends with a bad person and was not farsighted. Also, she was the sinner of the Mei Family. It was quite quick for the Fourth Aunt to change her words.

“Madame, you are wrong!” Guo said angrily, “I clearly heard that Su Li becomes the lecturer of the Qinghe Girls’ School. Why does she become the student of the Qinghe Girls’ School?”

The rich woman was immediately angry. She said, “Don’t interrupt! Han, look at your spoiled maid. Maybe someday she will climb on my head. You should punish her.”

Mei Ruohan slightly curled up her lips and said coldly, “My maid is managed by myself. You don’t have to talk about it.”

The Fourth Aunt’s expression slightly changed and she immediately said, “Let it go. Your character is like your father. I do not care about you. The rumor is exaggerated. Su Li is only in her teens. She can’t be a lecturer of the Qinghe Girls’ School. It is impossible!”

The Fourth Aunt pretended to be distressed and said, “She becomes successful, but what about you? The ban of the Muyang Girls’ School has not been revoked. If you do not apologize, our Mei Family will suffer with you. You have to think about it clearly.”

“I am not wrong. Why should I apologize?” Mei Ruohan said angrily, “Even my Daddy supports me but you are so motivated to be here. Did you get some benefits from the Yang Family?”

The Fourth Aunt’s expression immediately changed. She said, “How could it be possible? Han, you can eat anything but you cannot talk nonsense! I care about my family very much and I will never help others.”

At this moment, the old butler came from the yard and said happily and hurriedly, “Miss, follow me to the forecourt. People of the Qinghe Provincial Office come to our house!”

Mei Ruohan’s beautiful eyes widened. She seemed to think about something and looked happy. She went out of the room immediately.

“Why do the people of the Qinghe Provincial Office come to our house? It is impossible. I have to have a look!”

The Fourth Aunt was stupefied and followed them quickly.

In the forecourt, the head of the Mei Family was looking at the unexpected youngsters with a smile. He was well-informed and knew the identity of these youngsters in front of him. They must be the trusted followers of the satrap, and their status is respectable. But now, they suddenly come to his home…

He also just received the news of the Dasu Town. But these people came before he learned of the news. He asked the purpose of their visit, but nobody paid any attention to him. They said with a blank expression that they wanted to see his daughter, Mei Ruohan.

He guessed something and was happy. He was afraid that after he showed his feelings, he would be disappointed.

At this moment, Mei Ruohan came in from the outside and said, “Daddy, I am coming.”

The head of the Mei Family quickly stood up. He took her hand and said, “Han, come here and salute the officials of the Qinghe Province!”

The leader stood up and said with a smile, “Miss Mei does not have to salute us. We are here to report the news for the Lecturer Su.”

Su…Lecturer Su?

Mei Ruohan was shocked and soon was happy. She could not help but say excitedly, “Su Li?! Does she really become a lecturer of the Qinghe Girls’ School?”

The young man nodded slightly with a smile and said, “The lecturer of the Qinghe Girls’ School has a quota for admission every year. After Lecturer Su knew it, she introduced Miss Mei immediately. Get ready in a few days. After three days, go to the Qinghe Girls’ School with us. If there is any inconvenience, don’t hesitate to tell me.”

Mei Ruohan was suddenly dumbfounded. After a moment, her eyes became misty. She cried on the waist of the head of the Mei Family.

The head of the Mei Family sighed softly and smiled with relief. The girl had a lot of pressure recently.

The young man laughed even more. He thought that this was the behavior of a teenage girl. Su Li… When he thought of Su Li’s calm expression after she heard of the good news, he could not help but slightly feel cool.

After that, the young man left two men as the escorts of Mei Ruohan. Then he left. The Fourth Aunt heard their talk clearly at the door. She stupidly stood still and her feeling was complicated.

The rumor turned out to be true. The fifteen-year-old little girl not only became a lecturer of the Qinghe Girls’ School but also would take Mei Ruohan to it. Such good thing… Why didn’t it happen for her daughter Ning?

Remembering the agreement between her and the Muyang Girls’ School, she was sad. It was impossible for her to send Ning to the school.

In the next three days, Su Li stayed in the Su House and did not go anywhere. Her identity in the Baicao Tang could not be exposed. If Qi Xianqing were involved, there would be lots of troubles. The yard in the valley couldn’t be exposed, either. Otherwise, what she did would be no longer a secret.

Fortunately, they had a place to live in the Qinghe Province, so Qu Qingning and Fang Yuan would soon hide the valley and take all their belongings to the Qinghe Province to find her.

On the morning of the fourth day, a large carriage was parked in front of the Dasu Town. A lot of people got up early to send Su Li. They were filled with guilt, but did not know how to apologize. They even didn’t have the qualification to apologize and could only say goodbye to Su Li.

Mei Ruohan dismounted from the carriage. She didn’t see Su Li for a few days, but it seemed to be a long time. When she saw Su Li smile, she immediately cried. Guo also cried.

Su Li just touched Mei Ruohan’s little head and smiled sweetly. When she smiled, it seemed that flowers were in full bloom. All the elite soldiers were fascinated by her and perspired with cold sweat.

They all knew that Su Li was knowledgeable, but they did not notice that she was beautiful. They were fascinated by her appearance.

“Let’s go.”

Ning Qing glanced at the people of the Dasu Town and gently clamped the horse’s belly. Immediately, the hoarse neighed.

When the carriage departed, a shout came from the crowd suddenly,

“Miss Su Li, wish you a happy voyage!”

“Miss Su Li, I’m sorry!”

“We…will never believe rumors!”

“Miss Su Li, take care!”

“…”

The sound behind them was getting farther and louder. Then it was getting lower and lower. Mei Ruohan’s eyes were wet. She clutched her chest tightly, and there were waves of emotions. It seemed that a burning magma flew in her heart.

Su Li squinted slightly. Her sight did not change at all, and she gently opened the curtains to see the passing landscape outside.

The first step of the plan could finally begin!

…

Ning Qing considered that Su Li and Mei Ruohan were ordinary people. So, they traveled slowly. Until the noon of the next day they reached the gate of the Qinghe Province. When the guards saw the sign of the Qinghe Province, they opened the gate immediately.

Mei Ruohan bent over on the window and looked around. She could not help but feel excited and say, “Li! The Qinghe Province is so big. So lively! Look at that restaurant. It is so high. There are five floors!”

Su Li nodded with a smile. She saw a golden plaque on the fifth floor. It’s the Tianya House!

Mei Ruohan kept chirping. The young man beside the carriage laughed inside. This little girl named Mei Ruohan was really cute.

The carriage passed through the Qinghe Town and stopped in front of the gate of the Qinghe School in the west of the town. As the most important educational institution in the Qinghe Province, the area of the Qinghe School was half of the western town. The other half was a satellite town centered on the Qinghe School. Residents there were mostly students. They were about to enter the school or would take the first test.

Su Li caught a glimpse of the scattered taverns and inns. A thought flashed through her mind. She thought that ten months ago, the eldest brother should also have lived in one of these inns waiting for the first test.

After the carriage stopped, the elite soldiers left and there were only Ning Qing , Su Li, Mammy Li and Guo. Mammy Li and Guo held their luggage and looked at the gold words “Qinghe School” which was several zhang (old Chinese measure of length equal to 3.58 meters) high. Their feelings were complicated.

“Thanks to Miss Su Li, I can enter this place one day. I didn’t expect it.” Guo was intoxicated and immediately looked at Mammy Li around her. Mammy Li’s expression was strange.

How strange Mammy Li’s expression was! It seemed that she was looking back upon something. Had she come here before?

Mammy Li’s eyes were filled with tears. Her heart palpitated. It seemed that it was about to jump out.

“Old miss, I didn’t expect that I could come here once again in this life. Old miss, I am sorry that I lost the little miss…”

Ning Qing led Su Li and others to a side door beside the gate. When the guards saw Ning Qing, they immediately lowered their heads and gave a salute, “Lecturer Ning.”

Su Li was surprised.

“Is it strange?” Ning Qing said without turning back, “I am a lecturer here originally. Just because of my father, I went to the Muyang Girls’ School. Thank you for it, otherwise I would still stay in the Muyang Town.”

Su Li blinked and tentatively asked, “What’s the position…of Mr. Ning here?”

Ning Qing slightly smiled and said, “You will know it later. Let’s go. I’ll take Ruohan to go through the process of entrance examination.”

Mei Ruohan was surprised and a little nervous. But when she thought of the homework that she had done these days, her eyes showed confidence again.

When the administrator of the admission department who had a sallow face saw Ning Qing come over, he suddenly smiled and said, “Lecturer Ning, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Do you take two good students when you came back? It breaks the rule. Rules are rules. You can only recommend one student every year.”

Ning Qing pointed to Su Li and said, “You are mistaken. She is the student recommended by Lecturer Su. She is not familiar with the process. So, I come to help her.”
