Hearing that Mrs. He had arrived, Su Yao turned back and went to the old lady's Kangping Garden.
Mrs. He was talking to Mrs. Su. When she turned around and saw Su Yao, she waved to him with a smile on her face: "I've been here for quite some time, but I sent someone to your place but they said you haven't come back yet. Where have you been?"
"I went out to do some things." Su Yao bowed to Old Madam Su and sat down next to Mrs. He. Seeing that Mrs. He and Old Madam Su were talking happily, he asked Mrs. He what they were talking about.
"What can I say? Of course, we are discussing your eldest brother's affairs. Your grandmother is anxious. Didn't she go to Baihe to observe an auspicious day last time? Now everything has been calculated, even the birth dates and horoscopes have been matched. There are no obstacles on both sides. Now we just have to wait for your eldest brother to return triumphantly. Your grandmother is just waiting to hold her great-grandson!" Mrs. He embraced Su Yao, tidied her clothes affectionately, and said softly: "I came here today for another matter. Miss Mu San has now been canonized as a princess, and her nephew Mu Rong has also been re-canonized as a prince. The court has ordered a crusade against the current chieftain of the Mu Mansion."
Miss Mu San can now be re-enthroned as a princess. On the one hand, it will be of great benefit to Su Rong and Xiao Heng in conquering Yunnan. On the other hand, it can be regarded as a slap in the face to Master Li and Princess Mingchang.
Mrs. He had a distant relationship with Princess Mingchang when she was young, but at that time, there was no conflict between the two. On the contrary, in recent years, no one knew what had happened to Princess Mingchang, but every time she saw her, her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose.
Moreover, he repeatedly embarrasses and belittles Su Yao in public and makes things difficult for Su Yao. This is simply too much.
She had no intention of making an enemy or going against Princess Mingchang, but when she was bullied, there was no reason for her to bow her head and give the other cheek.
Therefore, Miss Mu San's turnaround is naturally a good thing for her.
Old Madam Su also snorted heavily: "Speaking of which, the Li family also brought this upon themselves. Princess Mingchang really doesn't know what's going on. Could it be that she is still brooding over the incident between the former Crown Prince and the Crown Princess?"
The elders rarely mention things in the past.
Nowadays, people can gradually talk about it as an ordinary daily topic, and no longer feel scared when talking about it.
Su Yao's mind moved, and he remembered the story of the Qi aunt and nephew. He coughed and shook Mrs. He's sleeve: "Grandmother, do you know... ... what happened to Qi Yunxi in the past?"
In the past, when this name was mentioned, Mrs. He always frowned and refused to mention this person at all.
Even Old Mrs. Su reacted very strongly.
Taking this opportunity, Su Yao wanted to ask Mrs. He and Old Mrs. Su more about what happened in the past.
Mrs. He's face really darkened immediately. When Qi Yunxi was mentioned, her face was full of disgust. She immediately said, "What's so ungrateful about this kind of person?!"
As good as their relationship was back then, Mrs. He now hates Qi Yunxi so much that she wishes she had never known this person.
Su Yao could also understand Mrs. He's feelings, but at this point, many things could not be avoided. After all, not everyone could save face, and for many people, face and decency were not worth mentioning.
For example, Qi Yunxi, didn't she know that Mrs. He hated her? But she could still come over with a smile and get close to Mrs. He.
After all, sometimes if you want to achieve your goals, you can't be too principled.
Mrs. He was still a little upset, but she had always doted on Su Yao the most. Since Su Yao had spoken, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes to calm down for a while, and told Su Yao what happened that year.
"At that time, the Empress had not yet been crowned as the Empress and was assassinated. It was Qi Yunxi who rushed out to save the Empress regardless of everything." Mrs. He said, somewhat puzzled. She could not help asking the question that had been bothering her for so many years: "He was willing to risk his life to save the Empress, so why did he become a different person after he became rich and powerful and had everything he had?"
Not only has he become a different person, but what has he done
Mrs. He never wanted to think about this incident over the years because the contrast between before and after was too tragic. She really didn't understand why people could change so quickly.
Old Madam Su had been silent the whole time, but now she couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, she risked her life for the Empress. The assassin's sword almost pierced her heart. The imperial physician said that if there was a slight deviation, she would not be able to save her life..."
Queen Hu never treated Qi Yunxi unfairly and always responded to her requests.
But even though it was so good, something still went wrong.
Su Yao asked perceptively: "What did she do later?"
Mrs. He pursed her lips in embarrassment.
For so long, Mrs. He has always refused to mention what Qi Yunxi had done in the past, although she always said that it was because she didn't want to mention it and because she hated it.
But in Su Yao's opinion, Mrs. He was kind-hearted and seemed to be hiding something for Qi Yunxi.
She already had doubts about Qi Yunxi and Qi's background, but she was still missing a clue. How could she let this opportunity go
After a pause, Su Yao urged: "Grandmother, grandmother, please tell me, what is the secret behind what happened back then? The Xu family is also aggressive towards us now, but the Xu family also has a relative from the Tong family. In addition, Qi Yunxi was behind the incident with the Xie family before, so it is possible that Qi Yunxi is among those who are attacking us now. In this case, what are you afraid of, and what old feelings are there that are worth showing mercy to her?"
Old Madam Su glanced at Madam He, then nodded after a moment: "Forget it, just tell Yaoyao. Yaoyao is right, she can do it herself, so why should she be afraid of what others say?"
"She..." Mrs. He sighed heavily, thinking for a while, then lowered her head in embarrassment: "The Queen originally planned to find a marriage for her, but after looking around, she didn't even like the son of the Duke's family, so the Queen asked her what she was thinking..."
Su Yao seemed to be thinking about something.
"She just said that she already had a lover. The Queen was very happy to hear that and promised that as long as she told her who that person was, she would arrange a marriage for them and marry her off as her sister." Mrs. He was puzzled and angry when she said this. She sneered and said, "But who knew that not long after, she was found by the palace maids in the emperor's bedroom in dishevel!"
The whole house was quiet.
Old Mrs. Su's expression was somewhat ironic.
