It's about Aunt He...
Old Mrs. Su glanced at Su Yao.
Su Yao was worried, because she knew that compared with her mother, Mrs. Su San, Aunt He was generous, considerate, filial and sensible, and had always been liked by Mrs. He.
It's just that Aunt He has always been with her husband in his post. Her husband Zhang Minghe was the prefect of Qingzhou. The year Su Yao came to Beijing was the first year that Aunt He followed Zhang Minghe to take up the post. Now it has been exactly three years, and it is time for Zhang Minghe's term of office to expire and he has to return to Beijing to report on his work and wait for evaluation.
Originally, Mrs. He could have waited in the capital for her daughter and son-in-law to bring their family back for a reunion.
Now Mrs. He was going to Qingzhou to see her daughter and son-in-law, and she couldn't even wait to discuss it with Su Yao first. Su Yao felt that things were not going well, and asked Steward He, "Do you know what it is?"
"It was Second Aunt's nanny who came to see Madam in person. We don't know what happened. Madam left in a hurry. She just asked us to come and tell you not to worry. She will write to you." Manager He thought for a moment and added, "Don't worry. Second Aunt is here to take care of the family affairs."
Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Su Yao nodded and sent Manager He away.
Old Madam Su was a little confused: "Yaoyao, your grandmother has always been a very patient person. If she could leave in such a hurry, it must be something urgent. We need to find a way to find out."
Su Yao had exactly this idea in mind, and after a little thought, he asked Liu Jie to go to Qingzhou as well.
She also felt that what happened in Qingzhou was unusual and it would be best to go and find out.
After talking about Mrs. He, they had time to listen to the news brought by Tui Guan Zhang. When they heard that Mr. Cui San died suddenly in prison, Su Yao moved his fingers and looked at Ruan Xiaojiu.
Ruan Xiaojiu looked ashamed: "Miss, it's our fault... Magistrate Zhang said that he was transferred to another job that day, and then..."
Then Mr. Cui San died.
Mr. Cui San is dead, and this case ends here.
Mr. Cui Si was indeed able to come out, and Cui Yuandao's reputation was also saved. It seemed that he had won.
However, Su Yao's plan to play the long game and catch a big fish failed. The person behind the scenes was much smarter and more courageous than the self-proclaimed smart Mr. Cui Sanye. He was a formidable opponent. Su Yao nodded and shook his head: "Forget it, it's already like this. The dead cannot be resurrected. This is not your fault."
To be able to transfer the Kai Zhang Tui Guan to take action again, someone in Shuntian Prefecture must have been bribed.
How could someone who could bribe Shuntian Prefecture leave any handle for himself when he took action
Ruan Xiaojiu was worried: "But girl, we have been busy for so long and finally found some clues. Now, won't all our efforts be wasted?"
"No." Su Yao laughed: "The more this happens, the more guilty they appear."
If this happens once or twice, the higher-ups may turn a blind eye, but if it happens more than once, their patience will gradually wear out.
Su Yao had no reaction to Mr. Cui Sanye's death, but some people's reactions were surprisingly strong.
Princess Chun'an rushed open the door of Princess Fenyang's room and asked her angrily, "My uncle is in trouble, do you know?!"
Princess Chun'an has been staying at home recently, not even going to the palace, because Princess Fenyang asked her to reflect on her mistakes and not go out to cause trouble. But she waited and waited, but she didn't get the revenge Princess Fenyang said, nor did she see the Su family lose a hair. Instead, she waited for the news of Mr. Cui's death.
Chun'an didn't know how Mr. Cui San treated others, but he was very good to her.
Even Prince Fenyang, who was famous for doting on her, didn't treat her so well.
But now Mr. Cui San is also dead.
Princess Fenyang glared at her daughter coldly: "Get out! You have no right to speak here!"
But this time, Princess Chun'an did not retreat silently as usual. She glared at Princess Fenyang in anger: "Why do you always speak harshly to me? Am I your daughter? You are so cold even when my uncle is in trouble. If you really have the ability, why don't you deal with the Su family? Didn't you say that I did bad things? But I didn't do bad things, so what have you done?"
Princess Fenyang did not expect Princess Chun'an to be so outspoken, especially in front of the guests. She looked at Princess Chun'an angrily and coldly ordered someone to take her away.
Princess Chun'an became even angrier. Seeing her mother being so cold and mean, she felt disappointed and angry. "You watched coldly as our father got into trouble. You did the same thing back then, and now it's your uncle. In your heart, no one is more important than yourself. You are not qualified to be my mother at all!"
Princess Fenyang's lips moved and her face turned red with anger. She was so excited that her heart ached and she almost couldn't stand. If she hadn't been holding on to the desk, she would have fallen down.
She finally managed to control her emotions, her face seemed to be covered with frost, and she walked up to Princess Chun'an and slapped her hard.
Princess Chun'an's head tilted to one side after being hit. She was so angry that she sneered at Princess Fenyang, turned around and ran out.
The people below were panicked and scared. Some were chasing the princess, while others were comforting Princess Fenyang. The mansion was in chaos.
When Mr. Cui came to the mansion in the evening, it was still in a mess.
After asking what happened, Mr. Cui was silent for a while, walked into Princess Fenyang's room, and sighed softly to Princess Fenyang: "Chun'an is young and hot-tempered. It's normal for her to be unable to bear anger. Why do you have to do this? Just teach her slowly."
"Teach slowly? How can I teach her slowly? Su Yao is much younger than her, and now he can handle things on his own, but she still has the temper of a child. Today she is not good at this, and tomorrow she is not good at that. She has no tricks at all and can only be a stepping stone for others!" Princess Fenyang's eyes were full of bloodshot, and she couldn't help but scolded in despair: "I have worked so hard to get to this point, but in just three short years, everything is gone. The prince died, and she became like this again. Now my third brother is in trouble. The palace is like a joke now. Don't I know that the emperor is probably suspicious of me? But at this time, what else can I do except bite the bullet and move forward?!"
But she is so ignorant.
Uncle Cui sighed: "Forget it, there's no point in saying these things. Don't worry, the matter of the third brother has been settled. Just say that he was resentful of his uncle, so he planned this matter. Although it is definitely not satisfactory, it is at least..."
It's a face-saving way of saying it.
He continued to say to Princess Fenyang: "We must find a solution as soon as possible. We can't just sit there and wait for death."
Otherwise, even Master Bai Qi would not trust them. They must take a share of the maritime trade and then slowly make plans.
Princess Fenyang closed her eyes and said, "What else can we do?"
