The Su family's house was brightly lit that night.
When Mrs. He came back, she first went to see Mr. He Er, and then went back to Mrs. Su's Kangping Garden. After hearing about Su An's secret meeting with Su Xingxuan, she was silent for a long time and went to see Su Yao who was sitting next to her.
Sighing, Mrs. He said tiredly, "Yaoyao, this is the real reason why you didn't let Su An go, right? You didn't let him go, you just wanted to find a different way to retaliate against him, right?"
Of course, Su Yao did nothing wrong.
Su An had indeed become neither human nor ghost for the sake of Su Xingxuan. He didn't look like a brother at all. No, he had become unhuman at all.
"I guess that's a favor." Su Yao smiled. She wasn't afraid that Mrs. He would get angry about this. She raised her hand and pushed the tea towards Mrs. He. She said unceremoniously, "Even if I didn't push her, Su An would still be fooled if Su Xingxuan just beckoned. Since that day will come sooner or later, it's better to do it sooner."
Mrs. He suddenly felt helpless. She couldn't help but whispered, "Yaoyao! You..."
Su Rong cleared his throat, "It's not just that, right? Didn't you say that the last time Su Xingxuan led me down the mountain, she used people she couldn't use? She must have borrowed someone else's power. After being driven out of her home, she was able to find a place to stay and deal with the Shen family. It seems that she is living like a fish in water. Just as you guessed before, Su Xingxuan may have colluded with outsiders to deal with her own family. The matter of Second Uncle He should also be related to her. I guess, you did this not only to deal with Su An, but also to let the people over there put the blame on Su Xingxuan for the failure of this matter, right?"
Mrs. He and Old Mrs. Su immediately looked at Su Yao.
Su Yao did not shy away from it, and nodded and admitted readily: "Yes, I just wanted those people to mistakenly believe that Su Xingxuan had schemed against them. Once the news of Su An's marriage to her spreads, those people will think so even more."
Isn’t this interesting
Those people who were played around by Su Xingxuan in the previous life became her enemies in this life.
All the resources she could use in the future were destroyed.
Mr. Su San and Mrs. Su San probably wish she would just die now. They have nothing left except Su An.
Didn’t Su An say that Su Xingxuan didn’t ask for anything and was a pure and innocent fairy
She is helping them now, and she also wants to see what kind of trouble Su Xingxuan, who thinks she is very capable, can come up with when facing such a desperate situation.
Is it painful? Is it hard
She also suffered this way in her previous life until her death.
Everyone should pay the price for their actions, and she waited and watched with open eyes.
Mrs. He sighed deeply and didn't say anything else. What had been done was done. Besides, what Su Yao said was right. For Su An, this still fulfilled his wish.
She rubbed her brows and said in a deep voice: "When I left the palace, the Qin family on Chang'an Street was still surrounded by the Jinyiwei."
Talking about business, both Mrs. Su and Su Rong perked up. Mrs. Su first held Mrs. He's hand and looked at her with concern: "Are you okay?"
She knew that Mrs. He always had a grudge against the emperor because of the matter between the queen and the prince, and letting her enter the palace would actually be a real torment.
"It's all right." Mrs. He smiled sarcastically. "Not only is it all right, but she also brought a lot of rewards. Just like what those people thought, the emperor still has feelings for me. Not only did he invite me to dinner, he also specially asked me to go to the palace for a banquet on New Year's Eve."
New Year’s Eve is a family dinner.
In recent years, His Majesty would go to Kunning Palace every year to take out the Queen's small portrait for the concubines and descendants to worship.
Now that Mrs. He has come to Beijing, it is also a good thing for His Majesty, so of course he wants Mrs. He to be present as well.
Old Madam Su squeezed Madam He's hand to reassure her: "Well, so many years have passed. It's no use being angry. Instead, you're being beaten by others. You should be more open-minded. You'll have to take this step sooner or later."
Although the emperor was indeed the culprit who killed the prince, he was also needed to redress the prince's injustice and vindicate the He and Su families.
The knee should be bent when it is necessary.
Mrs. He smiled, and there was more warmth in her eyes: "Don't worry, I know everything. I can understand this. Besides, it's worth it to see Prince Zhuang suffer. At that time, the emperor was talking to me in the imperial concubine's palace. When he heard that the second son was assassinated and seriously injured, he was furious... The second son had received the news sent by the Pang family a long time ago. According to the Pang family, before he fainted, he said in front of Shao Wenxun and others that he knew that the theft of the tribute satin was caused by Qin Chen... After comparing the two, the emperor immediately ordered the Jinyiwei to surround the Qin family, and in front of me, he said that he would send a royal doctor to treat the second son and would not let him get into trouble..."
With Concubine Pang in the Pang family palace and Mr. Wei outside the palace, everything had been arranged very carefully. Even the assassin immediately "committed suicide out of fear of crime". In this way, even if Qin Chen wanted to refute it, he would have no evidence.
Mrs. He finally felt like she had let out a sigh of relief. She sneered and said coldly, "I'm afraid the Qin family has been turned upside down by now."
"This is what they deserve. When you scheme against someone, you should have expected to be implicated one day." Old Madam Su was not moved at all. She leaned back on the pillow and said thoughtfully, "But I don't know if I can make King Zhuang suffer this time..."
Her eyes flashed with resentment, and she clenched her fists and said coldly: "King Zhuang has taken such good care of our two families. It would be very rude if we can't return a little."
King Zhuang, who was being targeted, was already feeling overwhelmed.
In the 21st year of Yongxi, the corruption case in the Weaving Bureau snowballed. First, He Erye, the transport director of the grain transport, was impeached and imprisoned, and then he was assassinated. Then, Qin Chen, the admiral of the navy who was in charge of the navy, was implicated. Then, the grain transport scandal of collusion with the Japanese and pirates was exposed.
After Qin Chen was imprisoned, the three departments were not allowed to seal the document and began to investigate the case of the Weaving Bureau overnight.
After the Deputy Governor of the Grand Canal Yang Yunhuan and the eunuch Jin Sanxiao, the governor of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, were arrested one after another, the case was unfolded in full swing.
Everyone lived in fear this year, fearing that the Jinyiwei who had been running around the city to confiscate properties would arrive at their home at any time. Cheng Dingan was not even allowed to leave the door. The censor who had impeached Master He at the beginning had also been arrested. Although the Marquis of Changping said that he was fully prepared, who could say for sure whether he could withstand it
