Mrs. He immediately understood what Su Yao meant.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
Although Su Yao did not say it, he cared deeply about the Shen family. This time Su Xingxuan had gone too far, and the root cause of all this, in the final analysis, was the connivance and acquiescence of Madam Su San and Su An.
Although it was a little unreasonable for Su Yao to take this step, no one could say that she was wrong.
What's more...
Hearing Mrs. Su San's voice outside, Mrs. He just felt it was noisy. She pursed her lips, finally sighed, and let Mrs. Su San in.
Mrs. Su San was a little anxious. She hurried a few steps in and bowed to Mrs. Su and Mrs. He first, then immediately said, "Mother, Second Brother... This is such a big deal, what should we do?!"
She was so nervous that her face turned pale. Even she knew that the incident of the weaving bureau losing the tribute satin had caused such a big fuss that the emperor was furious. Now the blame was put on Master He. Once the three judges confirmed it, Master He would be finished.
Not only Mr. He, but also the He family is almost finished.
Thinking of Master Su San's instructions just now, Mrs. Su San anxiously shook Mrs. He's arm: "Mother! Don't worry about so much now. The emperor has always respected you. You must not lose face for the emperor like before..."
At this time, what else can we do except go to the palace to ask for forgiveness from the emperor
If Madam He was willing to ask for help, this matter should be able to be resolved - after all, the Emperor felt guilty towards the late Empress, otherwise he would not have been so lenient to Madam He over the years.
Mr. He Erye also rose through the ranks and became the transport commissioner of the grain transport business.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, if Mrs. He and Old Lady Su can resolve their past grievances and reconcile with His Majesty, then the issue of the title will not be so difficult.
Now the emperor is becoming more and more harsh towards the meritorious officials of the past. The Yongding Earl's Mansion has been able to maintain its title and not be revoked only because of the old feudal lord, Mrs. Su.
But if Old Lady Su is gone, this title will also be gone.
The third master's official position is not high-ranking. If he were to wait for promotion and rely on his own abilities, it would take him an unknown amount of time to create a future. Now there is a smooth road in front of him. As long as he can get the title, his descendants will have another way to go.
The third wife is now exhausted and just wants to calm the family down as soon as possible.
Mrs. He interrupted her: "I have my own plan for this matter, so you don't have to worry about it. It's just your second brother's business, and you want to use it to make a deal with your second sister-in-law? You have the nerve to do that!"
Mrs. Su San was embarrassed for a moment. She glanced at Su Yao and Su Rong, lowered her voice and looked at Mrs. He pleadingly: "I am also doing this for An'er's future. Mother, Second Brother is also the son-in-law of the Wang family. It's impossible that the Wang family will not do anything at all, right? Could it be that Sister Xian and the others are not the granddaughters of the Wang family? If Second Brother gets into trouble, what benefit will the Wang family get? Our two families are already related by marriage, wouldn't it be better to marry? We had no choice before, and we were in the wrong, but now if you rescue Second Brother, these two things will cancel each other out. If the Wang family can agree to continue the engagement..."
Old Mrs. Su laughed sarcastically.
Mrs. He also refused sternly. Seeing Mrs. Su San's shock and grievance, she couldn't help feeling annoyed. She only regretted being controlled by her mother-in-law. Otherwise, how could she have raised her daughter to be like this.
She shook her head firmly: "It's impossible to continue the engagement, and don't mention it anymore. I've already told your second sister-in-law." Regardless of Mrs. Su San's disappointment and her attempts to argue, she raised her hand and said bluntly: "As for An'er, I've discussed it with your mother-in-law. If he really doesn't want to leave Beijing, that's fine. He just needs to cultivate his character from now on and not have those foolish thoughts anymore."
Mrs. Su San originally wanted to argue with her, but after hearing what Mrs. He said, she held back.
Forget it. If Mrs. He really agrees to go to the palace to ask the emperor for help this time, the title will be in the hands of the third house, and Su An can naturally ask for the title of prince. Then it will not be difficult for him to marry a famous lady from another family.
It's just a pity that so many people are like this.
She hesitated for a while, and finally felt that it was more important for her son to stay in the capital. She didn't know how to convince the two old ladies, and now that they had spoken themselves, that was of course the best.
"Yes." She finally agreed, and looked at Su Yao again. In front of Mrs. He and Old Mrs. Su, she asked Su Yao sarcastically: "You went out at night that night and asked your eldest brother to escort you. Where did you go?"
The Su family's household was now managed by Third Madam Su. All the drivers and servants had to work under her. There was nothing to hide about this matter. Su Yao said calmly, "In response to Third Madam Su's words, I went to the Shen family."
"The Shen family?" Mrs. Su San's voice suddenly rose, as if she was waiting for her to say this, and immediately asked sharply: "You still care about them!? They are just merchants, and you are the daughter of the Bo's Mansion. How will they see you and our Bo's Mansion if you still associate with them?! You are afraid that people don't know that you grew up in an upper-class family, right?!"
Years of resentment were finally triggered, and Mrs. Su San's wariness and disgust surged into her heart. She looked at Su Yao and felt that her daughter's eyes and eyebrows were full of strangeness and coldness.
But why? !
She was a lady born into a prominent family, and her husband was the son of a noble family. She was high and mighty, and had a distinguished status. How could she be worse than the wife of a merchant
No, the one from the Shen family is not worthy of being compared with her.
But Su Yao was as stupid as a pig. He was still obsessed with the woman from the Shen family and was so cold to her, his own mother.
Mrs. Su San couldn't help but vent her dissatisfaction and malice in her heart, and pushed Su Yao fiercely: "If you are so reluctant to leave the Shen family and your relatives, then just go back. Why are you still staying here?! Anyway, we don't like you. You always look depressed in front of us. Don't we owe you anything?!"
The more she talked, the more she went too far. Mrs. He could no longer bear it. She scolded her harshly, glanced at Su Yao, whose face had turned pale, and angrily said to Mrs. Su San: "After all, the Shen family has raised her for nine years. What's wrong with her visiting them as an ordinary relative? What's more, she saved Rong Ge'er and something happened in the capital. Your mother-in-law and I both agreed to her going there. If you have any dissatisfaction, just come to us. Why are you making things so difficult for her? Do you want her to learn from Su Xingxuan? She actually looked down on the Shen family, but what did she do?!"
