"What!" Su Mingyu couldn't help but be surprised when she heard clearly.
"Well, it is indeed a gift from Mr. Xie." Su Mingzhu took the golden step back when Su Mingyu wasn't paying attention.
"But... we are together every day, why didn't I find out when he gave you the Golden Step Yao!"
Su Mingzhu smiled slightly and said, "This is because you didn't go to Ruyifang with me at that time. When he saw that I liked it, he bought it and gave it to me. Later, you and I were busy practicing, so I forgot to tell you."
Seeing the happy smile on Su Mingzhu's face, Su Mingyu was in a daze for a moment, then she calmed down and said with a smile: "I see, I misunderstood, sister, please forgive me!"
"How could I blame you? We are the best sisters after all!" Su Mingzhu patted Su Mingyu on the shoulder and sighed.
"It's fine if my sister doesn't blame me. But, sister, please tell me how Mr. Xie gave you the golden walking stick?" Su Mingyu took Su Mingzhu's hand and asked as they walked away. Far…
Su Mansion, study room in the south courtyard.
Su Huanqing frowned and followed Su Shirong. The father and son had not talked alone for a long time. The last time was a year ago, when I argued with him and finally walked away. To outsiders, the Su family looked glamorous. His father was a high-ranking official in the dynasty, the second young lady became the empress, and the prime minister became the uncle of the state. However, his father was still not satisfied with such honors. He remembered that when he was a child, his father was upright and well-known as a clean figure. However, after Su Shirong became the prime minister, he became busy. Until the second sister got married and they had a big quarrel, he stubbornly called him "father". A year ago, he received a letter from his master and wanted to take his fifth sister with him when he left. Unexpectedly, his father firmly disagreed. After the two had a big quarrel, Su Huanqing left without even having time to say goodbye to her fifth sister.
Su Huanqing looked up at Su Shirong, who was walking in front. One year seemed like ten years to him. Looking at the snow-white hair on his head, Su Huanqing felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"You can go out. No one is allowed in without my instructions." Unknowingly, the two of them had entered the study.
"Yes." The book boy in Su Shirong's study put down the tea he had brewed in his hand, bowed his head and said respectfully, and bowed out.
"Sit down." Pointing to the chair beside him, Su Shirong said to his only son.
"yes."
Both of them were silent, except for the crisp sound of the tea cup lid touching the cup body.
After a long time, Su Shirong finally sighed and said, "Are you still angry with dad?"
Su Huanqing didn't stop drinking the tea in her hand. She took a sip and then said calmly: "Father, you are joking. How can a child be angry with his father?"
Su Shirong stared at him, while Su Huanqing's expression remained normal. He sighed helplessly: "Even if you hate me, I have to say these things. In the year since you left, the emperor has gradually become obsessed with longevity, and only knows how to hang out with those bullshit Taoists all day long. Now the crown prince and the third prince are in the same position. The struggle has shifted from darkness to light, but I have never made my position clear. I’m sure the flower viewing party in three days’ time will not be so simple!”
Su Huanqing then looked at Su Shirong and said calmly: "Hasn't Father been waiting for news from Concubine Qian?"
Su Shirong's voice stopped when he heard the words, and his eyes glanced at him sharply: "Su Huanqing, do you know what you are talking about now?!"
Su Huanqing smiled faintly: "I know. After you became prime minister five years ago, I knew your purpose. But, father, is it worth it?"
"Worth it? If it weren't for me, would the Su family be as glorious as it is today? If it weren't for me, how could your second sister become a noble concubine of a country? You actually asked me if it was worth it?" Su Shirong said with an angry laugh.
Su Huanqing really didn't want to talk to such a father, so she took a deep breath, changed the subject and said, "If father has nothing else to do, then Huanqing will retire."
Su Shirong stared at him gloomily and said bitterly: "Su Huanqing! No matter what you say, he is still my son, Su Shirong! If the Su family falls, where can you run to?"
Hearing these words, Su Huanqing raised her head with a cry, and looked directly into Su Shirong's eyes with sharp eyes. Su Shirong was shocked. It took a while before she heard Su Huanqing's cold words: "If it weren't for my father's love for power, how could the Su family be facing what it is today?" s Choice?"
When all of his actions were denied by the people closest to him, Su Shirong felt like he was stunned, watching Su Huanqing's lonely background slowly disappear by the door. After taking a breath, Su Shirong fell down on the mahogany chair, frowned and stared at his palms blankly, muttering: "Did I really do something wrong?" After realizing what he said, Su Shirong looked firm again, "No! I let the Su family keep their name forever and let the Su family stand side by side with Wang Xie. I didn't do anything wrong!"
Su Huanqing looked back at the study, sighed secretly, and left. The Su family was once a scholarly family, but now it has changed. I don’t know what the future of the Su family will be like. His father knew that he was close to the third prince, so he did not obstruct him, but he also did not push him intentionally, and his second sister had nothing to show for it. Su family, how should we choose
"Brother?" A crisp voice interrupted Su Huanqing's contemplation. It turned out that I had walked to Quchiyuan without knowing it.
Su Liuyuan was lying under the tree in the yard enjoying the cool air when she saw Su Huanqing coming in with her head lowered and worried. She couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Fifth sister." Su Huanqing looked up and saw Su Liuyuan lying on the couch, completely leisurely, and couldn't help but smile.
"Brother, please sit down. Xiao Yuan, go make a pot of tea." There are stone tables and benches in the yard, which is much more convenient. Although it is summer, fortunately there is a big tree next to it, which is very cool.
"What book is Fifth Sister reading?" Su Huanqing looked at the book in Su Liuyuan's hand and asked.
"It's just a miscellaneous book."
"What are you talking about?" Su Huanqing didn't intend to let go of this topic.
"Why do you think the eldest brother seems to be very idle?" Was it my imagination when I came in just now
"Don't you know, brother, that I am a prodigal son of the capital?" Su Huanqing laughed at himself and returned.
Su Liuyuan stared at Su Huanqing's performance before asking slowly: "Brother has something on his mind." The tone of the question was affirmative.
Seeing that Su Liuyuan cared about her, Su Huanqing felt warm in her heart and said softly: "Fifth sister, brother is fine. By the way, what are you going to do during the flower party?"
Su Liuyuan raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Brother, don't you have confidence in me, my sister?"
"Haha, big brother is just worried about you." There is confidence, but not much.
"Then brother, please stop worrying and take a good look at Fifth Sister's abilities!" Su Liuyuan smiled slightly. Su Liuyuan didn't pay much attention to the flower viewing party three days later. So what if you win? So what if you lose? She, Su Liuyuan, never cared!
Su Huanqing looked at Su Liuyuan's leisurely expression and could only sigh: "Okay, okay, brother, don't worry. But, fifth sister, if something unexpected happens, remember to save your life!"
Su Liuyuan opened her eyes wide when she heard this. Could something big happen then? He opened his mouth and finally asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you worried about the fight between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince?"
