"Do you want me to plead for him?" Tian Xun's eyes grew colder and colder. He raised his lips with a smile and repeated the question, waiting for Mrs. Tian's answer.
Those eyes were like knives, piercing Mrs. Tian's heart. She forced a smile and pulled Tian Xun's hand: "Xiao Xun, he is a bastard, but he is only fourteen years old, so young..."
Still so young?!
Tian Xun sneered, with a merciless sarcasm: "Yeah, you are so young, but you know how to find such fun. You can go to brothels and whorehouses!? Which brother would let his sister know about this? You know my current situation. I have worked hard to get to where I am now, but what is the result? You keep saying that you want to do good for me and love me, but don't you know that Tian Cong's incident is enough to make me be laughed at and pointed at by others?!"
Even if Queen Mother Tian dotes on her and the Eleventh Princess is close to her, can she stay out of it when her brother is dragged into such a whirlpool
She even thought that she could suppress Su Yao by virtue of her closeness to the Eleventh Princess.
But all her hard work for a long time was ruined by her own people.
Mrs. Tian felt so ashamed after being scolded that she felt she was a complete failure. She had taught her sons and daughters to be like this.
She could only shake her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Xiao Xun, your father has tried everything, he really has no other choice, so... I also know that Cong'er is wrong, he has dragged you down, but he is your brother after all!"
Tian Xun was furious.
Madam Tian went into the palace once, and when she left, her eye circles were still dark even though she had put on a layer of powder. Empress Dowager Tian raised her eyebrows and asked Tian Xun: "Your mother came into the palace in a hurry and left in a hurry. Is there something wrong?"
Because of the relationship with Princess Jingming, Queen Mother Tian's feelings for Tian Xun are growing by leaps and bounds, and she now really cares about Tian Xun.
Tian Xun's eyes were also red. When he heard Empress Dowager Tian's question, tears fell on the back of Empress Dowager Tian's hand without warning.
Empress Dowager Tian immediately raised her eyebrows: "What is it? Tell me."
The incident at Qingjing Temple was not a big deal. After all, it concerned the royal family. Anyone who knew the inside story would rather keep silent than speak, and would shake their heads and say they knew nothing when asked.
Mu Yongping had nightmares every night, fearing that he might be involved in royal secrets and be silenced. He investigated the case with trepidation and had no time to care about Tian Cong.
Finally, it was Empress Dowager Tian who mentioned this to Emperor Yuanfeng, and Emperor Yuanfeng realized that Tian Cong was actually involved in this matter. He could not help but frown and put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Nonsense! How old is he? At such a young age, he was involved in such a thing. Even if we really don't know where he is from or who he is, it also shows that he is a good-for-nothing!"
After all, they were from Empress Dowager Tian's family. Empress Dowager Tian was ashamed and coughed a few times before saying, "He is useless and should be severely taught a lesson. However, he is still young and perhaps he listened to someone's instigation. Your Majesty, just do it for my sake..."
Emperor Yuanfeng frowned: "These are not a big deal, but since he has such a character..."
Queen Mother Tian immediately defended Tian Xun: "She is a good person, but she has a brother who is not very good. After all, blood is thicker than water. Can you really just ignore him?"
The sky in the capital had been gloomy for several days. When Su Yao entered the palace again, the sky finally cleared up and the sun was shining brightly. Su Rong looked at the things she could bring into the palace, sighed and shook her head: "Everything is different in the palace. I know your temper and your abilities, but I still have to be cautious about some things."
He talked a lot and was about to ask about the Tian family when he suddenly heard the housekeeper come in and report that a Mr. Cui had handed in a note.
Su Rong was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Which Mr. Cui?"
After taking the name card, he couldn't help but take a breath and turned to look at Su Yao: "You... what are you up to?"
Su Yao then remembered that Su Rong had seldom stayed with Xiao Heng in recent days. It seemed a little strange to her because there was a period when these two were as close as one person, but she didn't know what happened recently.
It’s no wonder that Su Rong didn’t know what happened to Cui Yuandao later. After all, he was busy with his wedding recently.
Su Yao briefly told Su Rong about his and Xiao Heng's plan.
Su Rong felt extremely conflicted after hearing this.
He felt that Xiao Heng was clearly a wolf hiding in the flock of sheep, and everything he had done before was to eat Su Yao, the lamb.
But Su Xingyi’s reminder is still fresh in my mind.
Seeing that Su Yao, this little lamb, clearly did not have that intention, if he pointed out Xiao Heng's intentions, would it actually promote the relationship between the two
He was still hesitating, but Su Yao had already asked someone to invite Cui Yuandao in, and then he smiled politely at Cui Yuandao: "Mr. Cui, your presence is truly an honor to our humble home."
Cui Yuandao didn't smile at all. He looked at Su Yao solemnly and said, "Miss Su, I remember you warned me in advance, which means you didn't want to do anything extreme, but just wanted me to back down. I have already stopped participating in the imperial recommendation as you wished, so why are you still so aggressive and pressing me step by step?"
The Cui family is different from the Tian family. The Tian family is originally an in-law family. Tian Chengzhong has made no achievements in all these years and only has a title granted by deduction. No matter what they do, people will not find it too strange.
But the Cui family is different.
If this matter has anything to do with the Cui family, the Cui family will be finished.
It was for this reason that Cui Yuandao would rather fall out with Princess Fenyang than take up an official post. He could not afford the risk, nor did he want to be the sinner of the Cui family.
But now the matter of Qingjing Temple has been revealed again. Cui Yuandao is not stupid. Yang Bo and Gao Ping promised him that they would not make a big deal out of this matter, so they would not reveal it again.
Originally, this matter had no impact on them. Being able to keep him from taking up an official position was already the best outcome.
Then this matter can only be the work of Su Yao.
Even though Cui Yuandao had practiced to the point where he could not show his emotions on his face, he couldn't help but sound angry.
Su Yao did not deny it. She just asked Cui Yuan softly, "Master Cui, may I ask, is Master Cui Liu involved in this matter now?"
Cui Yuandao said calmly: "The Ministry of Rites has been investigating this matter and will eventually find out."
"That's none of my business." Su Yao had no psychological burden: "I tipped you off and reminded you in advance. I have done what I should do. I have no intention of plotting against Mr. Cui Liu." (To be continued)
