Mrs. Su couldn't tell what the idea was. She reached out to Mrs. He, opened the letter and read it, then frowned and sneered, "What sweet talk! After so many years, she still hasn't changed her attitude!"
Old Mrs. Su had always disliked Qi Yunxi.
Qi Yunxi did save Queen Hu's life, and because of this, the emperor and the empress were very lenient towards her and gave her the highest honor and favor.
Her life in the palace was not much worse than that of an ordinary princess.
You know, few of the princes and princesses who went against Emperor Yuanfeng had a good ending.
But Qi Yunxi was still not satisfied.
She actually had thoughts that she shouldn't have and danced under the moon while the queen was sick.
Even now, Mrs. He and Old Mrs. Su can't help but sneer when they think about what happened.
Qi Yunxi was a popular figure around the Queen. She knew the Queen's daily routine and when Emperor Yuanfeng would visit her very well. How could she not know what dancing under the moon meant
After that incident, the queen's illness became more serious.
Emperor Yuanfeng ordered the Ministry of Rites to start selecting a husband for Qi Yunxi, and finally chose General Zhaoyong Tong Tai.
Old Madam Su's face was filled with disgust and disdain. She handed the letter in her hand to Madam He and said, "She is a person who speaks sweet words but has a sharp tongue. You can't trust a single word she says."
Every word in the letter expressed apologies to Mrs. He, who had been at the border for many years and had no news, so she didn't know what had happened to the He family.
But this is just a joke.
Can’t the official bulletin be delivered to Datong
Is there no news from Tong Tai
Queen Hu passed away, the crown prince died, how big of a deal were these? How could she not know
But even so, Qi Yunxi still wrote this letter... ..
Mrs. Su reacted and said coldly, "What on earth does she want to do?"
Mrs. He didn't know either. She put away the letter and said coldly, "I just hope I'm not paving the way for others."
For a moment, both of them were speechless.
Because of this episode, Old Lady Su didn't care about what happened to Su Rong in the villa for a while. She and Mrs. He spent the whole afternoon thinking about Qi Yunxi's intentions. Unfortunately, they were thousands of miles away from each other and didn't know much about the Tong family and Qi Yunxi's affairs, so they couldn't figure it out.
After a whole afternoon of this, Su Rong and Su Yao finally came back.
Both Mrs. Su and Mrs. He were refreshed. When Mrs. He saw Su Yao, her eyes became red. She stretched out her hand to hold Su Yao close to her: "Really? I haven't seen you for a while. How come you have grown taller?"
Su Yao's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Since her rebirth, she had never been away from Mrs. He for so long. Leaning in Mrs. He's arms, she whispered, "I miss you..."
Mrs. He laughed happily again: "How childish." She looked at Su Rong who came in from behind and nodded happily: "Rong'er, are you really well now?"
Su Rong bowed respectfully to Mrs. He and responded with a smile: "It's all thanks to Yaoyao and the Wang family. I'm fully recovered now, and I want to thank you too."
Looking at the high-spirited Su Rong, Mrs. He was a little dazed. After a long while, she shook her head faintly: "Why thank us? We are already half buried in the ground. All we hope for is that you young people can live well. Now that you are well, it can be regarded as your grandmother's biggest worry in her life. It's great."
After she finished sighing, she did not forget to ask about the main matter: "Yaoyao said that she went to look for me, what about you? Did you go out for something? Your grandmother is very worried about you."
Su Rong had no intention of hiding anything. Seeing that Su Yao was being pulled to sit by Mrs. He, he sat down next to Mrs. Su and said softly, "Something did happen when I was at the villa."
He lowered his voice and said, "Someone claimed to be a messenger for Doctor Shen and sent me a letter."
Doctor Shen
Didn’t he go to Prince Zhuang’s Mansion
Old Mrs. Su was puzzled: "This has no beginning or end, and then what?"
"The letter said that I should prepare 100,000 taels of silver for him, and he was leaving." Su Rong's eyes were heavy, and his brows were also filled with gloom. "The handwriting is correct. I know his handwriting, so it can't be wrong. But I also know that he was in the Zhuang Palace to help the Zhuang Wangfei protect her pregnancy, so I was afraid that something had happened, so I hurried back. As soon as I came back, I heard about the Xie family and the Wang family, so I went to the Wang family first."
Doctor Shen asked me to prepare 100,000 taels of silver? !
One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Why did Doctor Shen suddenly ask for such a large sum of money
And he is still in Prince Zhuang's Mansion.
Old Madam Su subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Her heart skipped a beat, and even her throat seemed to be smoking. "So you went out today to actually get information?"
Su Rong responded and rubbed his brows: "I couldn't ask."
Of course I can't ask. A marquis's mansion is as deep as the sea, let alone a prince's mansion
If you ask a few more questions, you might reveal the truth.
The ominous premonition that Old Mrs. Su had always had in her heart suddenly came up again, making her stomach ache and she couldn't help but cover her abdomen.
Su Yao was also a little surprised, and then his face turned cold: "What if it wasn't a letter written by Doctor Shen himself?"
If Doctor Shen really needed silver, given his importance in Prince Zhuang's mansion, would Prince Zhuang not give it to him
Why didn't he write a letter to Mrs. Wang, who was still a relative
Why did you choose Su Rong alone
If it wasn’t written by Dr. Shen himself… .. Old Mrs. Su suddenly felt horrified: “Then… ..”
Doctor Shen is in Prince Zhuang's mansion! If he didn't volunteer, then Prince Zhuang asked someone to write this letter to Su Rong. But why did he do that? !
Just thinking about that possibility, Old Mrs. Su felt as if she couldn't even breathe smoothly, and she almost fainted.
Mrs. He and Su Yao exchanged a glance, and she also felt her throat burning with anger. She unconsciously tightened her grip on Su Yao's hand and said dryly, "Or maybe the other party is really going to make a move."
As if to verify her words, it suddenly rained heavily in the evening. The strong wind blew the big raindrops onto the ground, bringing the first heavy rain since the beginning of autumn and announcing that the heat had officially retreated.
Through the layers of rain, someone ran into the Su family from the corner gate. Not long after, Ruan Xiaojiu appeared in the flower hall with a pale face. She reported a piece of news to Su Yao and Su Rong in a mournful manner: "My Lord, Miss, something happened. Princess Zhuang's pregnancy was not saved. Now the Concubine Li in the palace has gone to Prince Zhuang's mansion."
Not saved!
The stone that had been hanging in my heart for a long time finally fell to the ground.
There's a feeling that this is as expected.
The wind was howling and the rain outside was getting louder.
