No matter how bad the relationship between him and Li was, or how unbearable Li was, they had been married for many years after all, and Li had given birth to children for him.
Li's death is now unclear. If he did not kill her personally, he should be very clear that the biggest suspect is his delicate mistress. However, he was not very sad about his wife's death at this time, nor did he seek justice for his wife. He also did not worry about his father who was affected by this. Instead, he pleaded for Wu Qianniang after hearing the news that Wu Qianniang committed suicide.
What is this
Do whatever it takes for love
Did he think about the situation of Cui Yuandao, who was already troubled by rumors because of his separation from the family? Did he think about his own children
I am so moved by myself.
Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and glanced at her: "You also said that he is confused, aren't you worried that he will do something bad?"
"No matter how much you say to someone who can't see clearly, he will think you are trying to deceive him. In this case, why bother yourself and waste so much time? You might as well wait." Su Yao was not in a good mood, and naturally his tone was not good to Master Cui Si who caused the trouble.
Zhang Tuiguan laughed at the side and said, "County Lady, where in the world are there so many smart people?"
If there were so many smart people, there would be less trouble in the world.
Xiao Heng also turned around and chuckled: "What Zhang Tuiguan said is that not everyone can put aside their emotions and look at the problem on their own. Where can we really find so many smart people?"
He looked at Su Yao with clear eyes. Even if Su Yao didn't say anything, he could understand the irritability and worry in Su Yao's heart. After leaving the government office with Su Yao, he spoke to Su Yao softly again: "Don't worry, I know what I am doing, nothing will happen."
What Su Yao was worried about was that the Fenyang Palace chose to launch an attack at this time, and it would definitely not be as simple as just delaying Cui Yuandao.
Sometimes when Xiao Heng thought about it, he felt tired for Su Yao. A girl, as thin as the bamboo beside the wall, but no matter how strong the wind and rain were, she would try her best to straighten her back and block it alone. She was so young. If she hadn't been swapped and raised in a merchant's house for nine years, she would have lived a carefree life like her brothers and sisters, arguing endlessly for a little love, and calculating repeatedly in her heart.
But she was taken away by mistake, and she always gained more than she lost. Whenever she encountered something, her first reaction was always how to solve it by herself, and she never wanted to rely on anyone.
Seeing that Su Yao was still frowning and looking worried, he lowered his voice and repeated again: "Don't worry, this is not just your problem. They are coming for me too. I will handle it and will not let Yongding Bo get into trouble."
Su Yao realized belatedly that she had been too impatient this time. She was stunned for a moment, then slowly adjusted her emotions in her heart: "I am too impetuous. Your Highness is right. There are originally more ordinary people in this world."
Therefore, it is common sense that ordinary people cannot struggle against the seven emotions and six desires.
She recovered quickly, and seeing that it was getting late, she reminded Xiao Heng: "You are leaving tomorrow. Now that you have finally come out, you should go to the Song Mansion, right?"
Xiao Heng hummed, "I'll send you back first, and let Zhang Tuiguan stay with Wu Qianniang for a while, and then release Wu Qianniang. I'll let Chen Dong keep an eye on the next thing. Don't worry, if Wu Qianniang is really being instructed by someone, I think the person behind it will not trust Wu Qianniang."
Especially if the person behind this is really the Fenyang Palace.
According to the previous style of Fenyang Palace, they will not leave anyone alive.
Wu Qianniang was lucky to have been detained by Shuntian Prefecture for so long, otherwise she would have died long ago.
Su Yao and Xiao Heng agreed on this point. She agreed and said to Xiao Heng, "It's okay. I was just a little worried, so I lost my composure for a moment. Don't worry. I can handle it. You and your brother go first, and Cui Daru will just catch up a little later."
Xiao Heng sighed lightly.
Su Yao is always like this. She is used to taking care of everything by herself and never thinks of asking others to share her burden.
But this habit was formed over many years and could not be changed in a short time, so he did not say anything more, but nodded at Su Yao and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to Yongding Bo. As long as I am alive, Yongding Bo will be safe."
Such a solemn promise...
Su Yao thought of Song Heng, who had never had the chance to change his surname to Xiao in his previous life, and suddenly felt a little bitter in her heart. She held it back and smiled hard: "Okay, then I will thank Your Highness on behalf of my sister-in-law. I will wait for Your Highness and my brother to return triumphantly."
In a blink of an eye, they had arrived at the gate of the Su family. Xiao Heng watched Su Yao getting off the carriage and called her to stop. When Su Yao turned around, he was silent for a moment and said softly, "Su Yao, take care."
"Your Highness, too." Su Yao looked up at him. The face of Song Heng in the previous life overlapped with Xiao Heng in this life. She felt a subtle reluctance and sadness in her heart, but in the end she could only repeat it in a stronger tone: "Your Highness, take care."
The Su family was already bustling with activity. The Wang and He families had received the news and had come quickly. As for Mrs. Shen, Su Yao had already said hello to Mrs. Shen before leaving and had asked someone to go and invite them. Now they were all here too. Everyone gathered in the shed. When Su Yao arrived, Mrs. He waved at him first, "Where did you go, kid? It's so hot!"
Mrs. Shen now comes here more and more frequently, and she couldn't help but nod: "Yes, it's so hot, you should be careful of the heat."
Such chattering makes people happy. The last trace of irritability in Su Yao's heart also dissipated. He shook his head and smiled: "I didn't go anywhere. I went out for something. Where's my brother?"
Old Madam Su was watching Wen Zongbin and Wen Zonghua playing around. When she heard this, she turned around and said with a smile, "They haven't come yet. Call them when the meal starts."
All the adults in the room smiled knowingly. Su Yao was not really an unmarried little girl. When she saw the adults laughing like that, she understood what was going on all of a sudden. She was originally drinking water, but she couldn't help choking and her face turned red.
Mrs. He didn't think about anything else. She patted Su Yao's back while listening to what Mrs. Wang said.
"Fortunately, we still have Prince Consort Tang Yuan. After all, he used to be in charge of Guizhou. With him around, I feel more at ease."
Mrs. He also hummed thoughtfully: "Yes, no matter what, it's always better."
As they were talking, Su Rong and his group had arrived.
