Qi Yunxi glanced at him calmly, his expression still calm, raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay, this time it is true that you have suffered a lot, but it is not a big deal. People who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. If you can't bear this little bit of suffering, then you can only let others slaughter you."
Master Tong Er seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
He has never liked this sinister sister-in-law, but his elder brother obeys her orders like a possessed man. As a man who only relies on his family, he naturally has nothing to say. After all, the principle that the situation is stronger than the person always applies.
After thinking it over, Master Tong Er finally swallowed his anger and asked, "Have you thought of a solution?"
The aftereffects of falling from the second floor are still serious. Master Tong Er is still dizzy and has intermittent pains in the back of his head, as if countless small insects are crawling around in it.
Qi Yunxi nodded, but before he could finish his words, he saw Master Tong Er suddenly fall to the ground with a bang.
Mr. Bai was startled. He stood up quickly and walked to Master Tong Er. He immediately squatted down to check on Master Tong Er. When he saw him, he was stunned. He raised his head and shook his head at Qi Yunxi: "Dead."
Dead!
Qi Yunxi was stunned. He walked around the table and asked, "What's going on?!"
When she got closer, she saw that Master Tong Er was indeed dead, but something like snot was still flowing out of his nose.
Seeing this, Qi Yunxi immediately called in the servant who had just followed the second master out and asked him what had happened.
The servant was so frightened that he knelt down tremblingly: "Madam, sir, when the second master was arguing with the county lady, he was accidentally knocked down from the second floor by a servant..."
But nothing happened at that time!
Qi Yunxi's eyes instantly turned cold and gloomy. He looked at Mr. Bai. Seeing that Mr. Bai was also looking at him, he said coldly: "If I had known that this girl was so evil, I should have killed her early to prevent future troubles!"
Mr. Bai could not help but sigh: "It is priceless to have known earlier. Who would have thought that a girl raised in a merchant family could reach the position she is in today? It is useless to say all this, but, are you really sure? Madam He came to the palace this time to find the emperor about the drowning in Tongzhou. I am afraid that the emperor will protect her..."
Qi Yunxi sneered disdainfully.
She lowered her eyes and said, "Didn't he favor the Crown Prince back then? Didn't he favor the late Queen?"
But what is the result
When they framed the Queen and the Crown Prince, this favor was not so unshakable.
Mr. Bai was speechless. After a moment, he asked her again: "The Second Master is the only brother of the First Master. What do you think about this matter..."
Speaking of Tong Tai, Qi Yunxi's expression was full of sarcasm and ridicule: "Just write a letter to explain to him. If he wants to avenge his brother, he should go find Su Yao!"
Mr. Bai stopped talking, sighed, and asked someone to come in and carry out the second master's body, and then asked her: "Second master's funeral..."
"The bigger the better." Qi Yunxi said lightly, "It will also let everyone remember this murderous county lady."
Her hatred for Su Yao was particularly strong, even higher than that for Mrs. He.
The reason is probably because, as a person who was also teased by fate, Su Yao was able to get the original things without any effort, and even have more without losing anything.
This is unbearable.
At this time, Su Yao, whom she hated and cursed, was waiting for Mrs. He in a restaurant outside the imperial city with Su Rong.
The weather was still very cold. Su Rong brought her a cup of tea. Seeing that she was frowning, he asked, "Are you worried about your wife?"
"Yes, a little." The heat of the tea spread from the palm of his hand to his limbs. Su Yao's mood improved a little. He turned his gaze from outside to Su Rong, frowned and sighed: "I always feel that something is wrong. In fact, the situation is so tense now. Anyone with a little bit of brains should know that the right thing to do is to keep a low profile at this time, but the Tong family did the opposite."
It would be fine if the Tong family was particularly stupid, but the problem is that through what the Tong family has done over the years, it is entirely predictable that there is a powerful interest group behind them.
In this case, what they did could not be taken lightly. Su Yao's expression suddenly became solemn. She slowly looked at Su Rong and said softly: "Brother, I'm afraid that grandma's entry into the palace today will not be smooth."
Su Rong was a little surprised: "Is it really that serious?"
After all, everyone can see how much Emperor Yuanfeng favors Madam He. For this reason, Emperor Yuanfeng even made an exception and promoted Madam He's favorite granddaughter to the rank of county princess. She was almost murdered this time, and going to the palace to seek justice is reasonable no matter how you look at it. With the importance that Emperor Yuanfeng attaches to her, how could it not go smoothly
"Unless..." Su Yao raised his eyebrows slightly: "Unless His Majesty already knew about this in advance."
Su Rong immediately understood what Su Yao meant: "Even if someone had told His Majesty about this matter in advance, what reason did His Majesty have to not trust my wife, but trust someone else instead?"
"Yes." Su Yao said calmly, "When a person feels guilty, he cannot treat a matter correctly."
Emperor Yuanfeng felt guilty and remorseful towards the late empress and the late crown prince.
Because he had wronged them and let them down, that was why he was so extra trusting and doting on Mrs. He, because he felt guilty.
But the emperors can only feel their own guilt in their hearts. Once it is exposed, they will become angry and ashamed. This is easy to understand. Most people have a strong sense of self-esteem, let alone the emperor who is self-centered.
Su Yao knew in his heart that Mrs. He’s trip would most likely be in vain.
Su Rong couldn't help but feel a little angry. He asked in a deep voice: "The Xu family and Qi Yunxi are becoming more and more arrogant. The emperor must have heard about Qi Yunxi's background. Even so, the emperor is still indifferent and has no doubts at all?"
Does he trust Qi Yunxi so much
Su Yao didn't answer because she saw Ruan Xiaojiu coming in from downstairs out of the corner of her eye.
Sure enough, not long after, Ruan Xiaojiu knocked on the door and came in. The first thing he said to Su Yao was, "Miss! The second master of the Tong family is dead!"
He was a little scared. After all, it was he who knocked Master Tong Er down with his head, causing Master Tong Er to fall from the second floor. Now that Master Tong Er was dead, how could the Tong family let him go? If I guessed correctly, I'm afraid the Tong family would want to kill him now.
He was very nervous, and Su Rong was also a little surprised: "He was fine before, isn't this another conspiracy?"
