Old Madam Su reacted immediately: "Everyone invited you to the hot spring resort. Are you planning to go?"
Seeing Su Yao nod, Old Lady Su thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement: "Alright, it's the end of the year, and the palace will hold a banquet. If I'm not mistaken, you should be summoned. In this case, why not go out and calm down first. Who knows what these people are thinking? Seeing that you have a relationship with your grandmother, I'm afraid they want to eat you alive as if they were stealing food. It's better to go out."
As she spoke, she asked Mother Ji to come in and pack a few cloaks for Su Yao to take. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Yaoyao, you are a smart child. I want to entrust you with something and ask you to help me take a look."
Mrs. Su spoke so seriously that Su Yaolue guessed the reason immediately: "Is it related to the matter between Big Brother and Sister Fenfen?"
She was so insightful that Old Lady Su felt a little embarrassed. She coughed a few times before she said earnestly, "Fenfen was previously engaged to An'er. Logically, I shouldn't think this way. But the marriages of our two families cannot be judged by ordinary logic... In my heart, I like Fenfen very much."
Although Su Rong is well now, he was still delayed. Others of his age already have several children. Although he is now inheriting the title, several families have expressed their intention, but the daughters are either concubines or too far apart in age, and Old Lady Su is not satisfied.
After much thought, there is no one more suitable than Wang Yuerong.
They are a perfect match, and she herself is also smart and a good candidate for living together.
Old Madam Su sighed, "I shouldn't say this to you, but you are different from other girls, so I would like to ask you to give it a try and see how things are going with Fenfen."
If Wang Yuerong is also interested, then she has to shamelessly make the marriage happen.
Anyway, it's not news for a widow to remarry in this dynasty. Besides, Wang Yuerong had already broken off the engagement with Su An.
The Su family has been silent for so many years and has long been nothing in the circle of nobles, so they don't care about what others say about them.
Su Yao was originally hesitant about this matter, but now that Old Lady Su also thought so, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
Only after she had discussed the matter with Old Lady Su did she return to her own yard.
Mother Ji then brought all the clothes over. Yan Cao collected them and brought them in. She couldn't help but sighed, "There's no need to make new ones this year. The ones the old lady gave are better than those made in the sewing room."
Mother Shen was busy packing up. She was the happiest person that Su Yao could go out for a short stay. She said, "Of course, it was given by the old lady. How can it be bad?"
Then he asked Su Yao if he wanted to bring some books. Su Yao shook his head and said, "No need to make a big fuss. Just go with a small group."
She is now more concerned about what the people from the Ministry of Justice are here for.
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Mother Shen had just left when Su Rong came in. As soon as he entered the room, he said without any hesitation, "Chen Dong is in trouble."
Chen Dong
Su Yao was stunned, then stood up: "What's going on?"
"Zhao Chong came over and said that on the day when Prince Fenyang died suddenly, only Chen Dong went to the clan house to question him. After he left, the person who delivered the meal found that Prince Fenyang was dead." Su Rong's face was gloomy and he sneered, "It is already known to everyone that Princess Fenyang had pleaded for mercy but was rejected by His Highness. Chen Dong has been with His Highness for many years. In this way, anyone would think that His Highness killed Prince Fenyang."
Although Prince Fenyang was involved in a major case, he was still a prince until the three courts came to a conclusion and convicted him. It was unacceptable for him to kill someone in private without trial.
If Chen Dong's crime of murder is proven, then there is no point for Xiao Heng to trace his ancestral roots.
Because no minister would be willing to support such a person who is so stingy and uses torture in private.
This move cuts off the source of the problem, silences the witness, and frames someone else. It kills three birds with one stone and is a very vicious move.
"It seems that we really lured the big snake out." Su Yao smiled and looked up at Su Rong: "Did Zhao Chong come here just to send us a letter?"
But they have nothing to do with Zhao Chong.
If there is any, it is that Gao Ning had dealt with Zhao Chong a few times when he was investigating the case of Prince Zhuang.
Something happened to Chen Dong, but Zhao Chong sent the news here, which in itself means something.
"If there are people who don't think highly of the emperor's eldest grandson, then naturally there will be people who want to place a bet." Su Rong said calmly, "This is a common occurrence."
Su Yao hummed and looked at him: "So what other news did he bring us?"
He was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Since the sudden death of Prince Fenyang had alarmed the Ministry of Justice, it meant that it had been determined to be a homicide. He always had the most up-to-date information.
"Prince Fenyang was detained in the Imperial Clan House, and his treatment was normal. There were no restrictions except that no one was allowed to visit him." Su Rong spoke quickly: "On the day of the accident, except for Chen Dong who went to question him once more, no one else visited Prince Fenyang."
Then the people who took action were from the clan affairs office.
Su Yao asked him: "So what are you going to do now?"
The Ministry of Clan Affairs has been controlled by Prince Fenyang for many years, so it would not be easy to investigate even if you want to.
Su Yao frowned and quickly said, "Why not try starting with the princess?"
After being married for many years, could the princess really accept the death of Prince Fenyang
If she is unwilling to accept this and happens to know something, then the murderer will naturally surface.
Su Rong nodded: "We should try to start with her. I will go to the Song family and discuss it with the Marquis."
"And there's Chen Dong." Su Yao reminded him, "You must keep an eye on him. If something happens to him, he will be branded as someone who committed suicide out of fear of crime, and then the matter will be difficult to clear up."
"I've already informed Zhao Chong. Since he wants to place a bet, he must show some sincerity." Su Rong smiled at her soothingly, "Don't worry too much for now. Chen Dong is a captain of the Jinyiwei and a favorite of His Highness. Even if someone wants to kill him, there are many people willing to protect him. It won't be that easy for him to get into trouble."
The most urgent task now is to find out the real murderer who killed King Fenyang.
As long as this line is clarified, what happened back then will actually have a final solution.
It's so frustrating not even knowing who your opponent is.
Su Rong stopped and looked at Su Yao. After thinking for a while, he said, "Yaoyao, don't worry about this matter for now. Let's go to the villa. I will take care of this."
The main reason is that Su Yao is not suitable to show up again.
Su Yao did not object. An idea in her mind became clearer and clearer, but it could not be confirmed yet.
