Eunuch Xia always had a warm smile on his face. When he saw that Old Madam Su was struggling to help Master Su San to stand up, he smiled and said considerately, "Old Madam, great joy!"
Old Madam Su had already reacted, and she also laughed and nodded vigorously in response: "Yes, the emperor's grace is great..."
Master Su San had already handed over a thick purse.
Eunuch Xia didn't accept gifts from everyone, but he put this gift into his sleeve without hesitation, and politely declined Master Su San's offer of dinner and tea, saying with a smile, "I have work to do, so I dare not delay. I'll bother you next time."
That's polite.
Master Su San felt as if he was in a dream. He saw off Eunuch Xia and his party in a daze, then turned around to look at Old Madam Su.
Old Mrs. Su stood in front of the incense table, looking at the imperial edict with a dazed expression.
Not long after, Mrs. Su suddenly called out to Master Su San: "Old Master!"
Master Su San woke up with a start, responded quickly, and ran forward to support Old Madam Su.
Old Madam Su held onto Master Su San’s wrist and said forcefully, “Let’s go to the ancestral hall.”
Such a major event should of course be reported to the ancestors. Master Su San nodded rapidly and supported Old Madam Su all the way to the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall was decorated with tablets of ancestors from past generations. Walking around the patio, Old Lady Su didn't look at the murals. She held the imperial edict and walked straight to the tablet of the previous Earl of Yongding. She reached out her hand and stroked the tablet with nostalgia, and suddenly burst into tears.
"Seventh Brother..." Old Madam Su called out in a low voice, staring at the tablet in a daze and asked softly, "Seventh Brother, did you see it?"
After lighting three incense sticks, Old Lady Su placed the imperial edict in front of the platform, then knelt on the cushion, clasped her hands together and closed her eyes, as if she was asleep.
She had countless things to say.
I want to talk about the grievances and pains I’ve suffered over the years, and I also want to talk about how happy I feel now.
But in the end, she didn't say a word.
If the underworld knows, if the dead can really sense what is happening in the world, she only hopes that they can know that there is justice in this world.
Even if it comes very late, even if it is the result of careful planning, justice will eventually come.
After a long while, Old Lady Su opened her eyes, looked ahead, and said softly, "Just watch, it's not just like this."
Much more than that.
The news that the Su family had been reinstated spread quickly, and Mrs. Wu left the Su family in disgrace. This time, she didn't even dare to argue with Old Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su was even more nervous. She stood at the door in a daze and did not care about Su Xingtian who was distracted.
Soon, Mrs. Su came in from outside, supporting Su Xingyi's hand. When she heard that Mrs. Wu had left without even saying hello, she smiled and glanced at Mrs. Su II, "Second wife, cultivate your character in the future. It's better not to have any contact with these relatives."
She said it with a smile, but her tone didn't sound like she was joking at all.
When Mrs. Su met her gaze, she was unable to utter a word and could only respond with a low "yes".
Old Madam Su stopped playing coy with her: "If you behave yourself, I can always be your second wife. Otherwise... the second wife may be lonely in the underground."
The threat in his words was hardly concealed.
Mrs. Su Er shuddered and dared not speak again.
Seeing her leave in a daze, Old Lady Su frowned slightly and told Su Xingyi: "Put a few more people to watch over her. The Wu family..."
Su Xingyi hurriedly reassured her and whispered, "Don't worry, Yaoyao has already had people keep an eye on the Wu family. If they were really sent here by someone, we'll soon know who it was."
"Yaoyao hasn't come back yet?" Speaking of Su Yao, Mrs. Su's expression finally eased a little, but she was also very worried: "I don't know if she can get the ointment successfully?"
Doctor Shen said that Su Rong's leg was difficult to cure, and that he had to go to Baihe Temple to ask for elixir from the immortal who had been wandering for many years. However, the immortal had not returned to Baihe Temple for many years, so how could he be easily found
Because of this matter, Su Yao has been away from home most of the time recently.
The attitude he had before Emperor Yuanfeng now seems to have been correct, and he must have grasped the right measure and timing, which is why he has achieved this result.
Old Mrs. Su was relieved, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel more worried.
Now she is becoming more and more dependent on Su Yao.
Su Xingyi helped her sit down. She knew that although she didn't show it, she must be feeling mixed emotions. So she held her hand and shook it gently: "Yaoyao is a sensible person. Besides, Song Heng is the one accompanying her. He has his own way. Don't worry. So many things happened today. You must be tired. Why don't you take a rest first? When Yaoyao comes back in the evening, let her come to see you then."
How could Old Mrs. Su sleep
She stared blankly ahead for a while, then told Su Xingyi: "You can go check on Xiao Liu'er later, she must be frightened. Tell her that as long as I am still here, don't worry, we will not ignore her."
Now that all the major issues were resolved, Old Mrs. Su felt filled with courage.
This family was bought with her son's life, and was protected by Su Rong, Su Yao and others with great difficulty. Now, they have finally stood firm in the midst of the storm. Even if she dies, she will never let anything happen to this family again.
Su Xingyi agreed gently and watched over her until she fell asleep. Then she quietly withdrew and looked at the clouds in the distance, smiling from the bottom of her heart.
Before evening, Mrs. Wang came to the door with gifts. Su Xingyi was a little surprised and didn't understand how the news spread so quickly. But when she heard another piece of news brought by Mrs. Wang, she was shocked.
Mrs. Wang coughed a few times before she said cryptically, "That one... is gone."
Su Xingyi looked at Mrs. Wang and stretched out three fingers, and it took her a moment to react.
The third prince
When the results from the Ministry of Justice came out, everyone knew that Shao Wenxun and Xu Rui were both working for the Third Prince, and everyone also knew that the Third Prince was responsible for the death of the former Crown Prince.
Su Xingyi was also wondering how this matter would end, but she didn't expect that the third prince died before the result from the palace came out.
She dropped her eyes.
Mrs. Wang then said, "Don't worry. Although he left like this, His Majesty must be aware of it. He will give an explanation to the Su and He families for this matter..."
It turned out that Mrs. Wang didn't know that the decree to restore the Su family's title had already been issued. It was just to tell the news of the third prince's death that Su Xingyi came to her senses, hesitated for a moment, and then told Mrs. Wang that Eunuch Xia had come.
