Chapter 439 Restless
Su Xiaoxiao returned home in a daze, driving the carriage. This was the first time she had ever felt so uneasy. Even Su Ping'an found Su Xiaoxiao very strange and came over to ask her, "The village's private school is about to start construction. Have you gone to ask Qian Musheng about the matter and made arrangements?"

"no!"

Su Ping'an didn't understand at first, but seeing Su Xiaoxiao's disheartened appearance, he wondered if it was because she had discussed it with Qian Musheng but hadn't received his consent that Su Xiaoxiao felt so frustrated.
However, Su Ping'an could understand these things. After all, Qian Musheng was a businessman. Business people are not stingy, but they know how to accumulate wealth and that making money in business is not easy. Doing business is not charity. They can't just donate money to others to establish private schools. That would require a considerable amount of money.

Besides, what good would a successful donation do? This is Su Xiaoxiao's village, not Qian Musheng's. If he hadn't partnered with Su Xiaoxiao to run a factory here, he would have had absolutely no connection to this place.

So Su Ping'an came over and persuaded Su Xiaoxiao, saying, "I think we should do this: since Qian Musheng doesn't agree to take money from the workshop, let's pay out of our own pockets. Although this will put a strain on our household expenses, it's worth it for the sake of those children!"

Su Xiaoxiao never expected Su Ping'an to be so magnanimous, actually saying he was willing to sacrifice his own interests for the sake of those children. Speaking of this, Su Xiaoxiao was quite moved.

In a workshop like this, if you're going to spend money, it's essentially a business partnership between two people, requiring both to make the decision together. They can still see this in the situation, which shows that a strong spirit of cooperation is essential for successful business partnerships. Only then can both parties make the decision together.

"Ugh!"

"That's not how it is!"

Su Xiaoxiao continued with a sigh, "Actually, Qian Musheng got into trouble. He's been arrested and taken to the Dali Temple."

"what?"

Su Ping'an really didn't expect that Qian Musheng would also be imprisoned. Wasn't he always working for the imperial court? Like last time, he even helped the Dali Temple capture the bandit leader of Cuiwei Mountain, which was a great achievement!
Moreover, when the bandits came to rob the execution ground, he resolutely saved the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review, who was very grateful to Qian Musheng at the time.

The two had a pretty good relationship, which is why they were able to use their connections with the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review to get Su Xiuer, who had been wrongfully imprisoned, out of jail.

How come, not long after this incident, the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review has already abandoned any past favors and arrested Qian Musheng?

Su Ping'an was also very puzzled, but who could explain those things in the imperial court?

Considering the situation here, it's just that it can't be for any other reason. Anyway, it's a matter of the imperial court, and things are constantly changing, so it's hard to say what will happen.

"This time, it wasn't the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review who wanted to arrest Qian Musheng. In fact, the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review didn't keep his word this time. The imperial court sent other ministers to publicly try this case. Because Qian Musheng is involved in a murder case!"

Su Ping'an was startled; he really hadn't expected that Qian Musheng would get involved in a murder case.

"The person who died was Prince Gong's sister. You never expected that this would happen, especially since this sister was killed at Prince Gong's sister's wedding banquet."

"That's even more impossible, isn't it? How could Qian Musheng be that kind of person?"

Even Su Ping'an couldn't believe it. In fact, regardless of whether they knew Qian Musheng or not, no one would believe he possessed such ability. Besides, killing someone at their wedding banquet—how desperate could he be to kill them? And the victim was Prince Gong's sister. "Therefore, Qian Musheng must have been framed. He was the only one at the wedding banquet, alone, and quite vulnerable. They have no idea what happened at the banquet that day, making an investigation very difficult. Moreover, they don't give you a chance to investigate. What can you do?"

This really stumped Su Xiaoxiao. In fact, it's not easy to investigate. You weren't there, and the only person involved is in jail, so it's impossible to determine what happened to Qian Musheng at the wedding banquet that day.

"Xiaoxiao, don't worry about this. I reckon the only person who can speak on our behalf is the Tenth Prince. If he's willing to help, it'll be easier. But if he doesn't care, and we can't fight those high-ranking officials, we'll just go and storm the execution ground together!"

Su Ping'an had previously witnessed bandits storming execution grounds to rescue their comrades. Although it was a heinous act, it was a last resort, a desperate measure taken when all else failed.

Su Xiaoxiao laughed upon hearing this, "Don't talk nonsense. You dare to say such treasonous things as storming the execution ground? If the officials hear you, you'll be arrested!"

"Alright, I won't say anymore! You think of a way, let's go to the capital together and see if we can save them!"

"Don't get involved in saving lives!"

Su Xiaoxiao said to Su Pingan.

"After I've settled things at the workshop tomorrow, I'll go to the capital alone and see if I can help Qian Musheng!"

"This……"

Although Su Ping'an didn't want to agree to this, he was still a student studying, and Su Xiaoxiao would definitely be angry if he didn't listen to her.

Now Su Ping'an had no choice but to obey Su Xiaoxiao's words and nodded obediently, "Okay, then I'll focus on studying at home and wait for your good news!"

"Ok!"

Su Xiaoxiao patted Su Ping'an's head, then turned around and went about her own business.

This time, Su Xiaoxiao felt she had to find a way to get Qian Musheng out of prison and help him clear his name.

If it were before, Su Xiaoxiao wouldn't have thought she had such great abilities. Now she believes that human potential is limitless. If she doesn't make good use of it, she might lose an opportunity, and thus lose the chance to save Qian Musheng.

This is absolutely unacceptable, so this opportunity is extremely rare. Now Su Xiaoxiao feels that she must save Qian Musheng, not to repay Qian Musheng for saving her life before.

Moreover, Qian Musheng was his business partner. We can't let Qian Musheng die unjustly, can we?
So, is there still justice in this world? Therefore, Su Xiaoxiao now believes one thing: there must be justice in this world.
