Seeing his slave Xia Shan being taken away, the eldest young master Guojiu Ye seemed to have sobered up.
At this moment, the eldest young master Su Runchen's eyes suddenly became moist.
It seemed dark, but it didn't seem dark.
The eldest young master, Su Runchen, felt as if he was dead after watching his slave Xia Shan leave. He sat on this chair, looking at the wine bottle on the wooden table, motionless.
"Uncle Guo, it's getting late. How about you go back?" the waiter at the inn began to urge.
After hearing the sound, Uncle Su Runchen raised his heavy and depressed head. With a pair of tired eyes, he looked at the simple clothes in front of him that looked like his slave Xia Shan, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
The waiter saw Su Runchen looking at him like this, and suddenly shouted: "Uncle Guo?"
Uncle Guo Su Runchen just came back to his senses and looked at the waiter who looked very similar to Xia Shan.
"What's the matter?" Uncle Su Runchen said coldly.
"Uncle Guo, it's getting late, you should go back." The waiter advised again.
Su Runchen slowly turned his head, looked at the sky outside the screen, and then stood up.
Just as he was about to take out some money to pay for the wine, the waiter smiled and said, "Uncle Guo, someone has already paid for this money."
As soon as the waiter said this, Su Runchen stopped groping for money and walked out of the inn, towards his home.
…
"You're finally back. Do you know that you were scared to death?"
Just before returning to the Su Mansion, the anxious Madam Fan of the Su Mansion hurried over.
Seeing her mother's face like this, Su Runchen felt both distressed and heartless.
"I'm back. I wish I could come back." The eldest young master, Su Runchen, said it and walked directly to the bedroom.
Seeing the eldest son Su Runchen like this, Mrs. Fan, as a biological mother, felt a little impatient: "Hey! Why are you talking to mother?!"
Before he heard his son Su Runchen's reply, he had already seen Su Runchen walking towards the bedroom.
Seeing the eldest young master like this, the maid next to Madam Fan said, "Madam, what's wrong with the eldest young master today?"
Mrs. Fan shook her head and looked towards her eldest son Su Runchen's bedroom not far away from her: "I don't know." After a while, Mrs. Fan thought of something: "Why didn't Xia Shan come back with the eldest young master? "
The maid next to Mrs. Fan thought about it and said, "It's true. In the past, Xia Shan always came back with the eldest young master, but it seems to be really different today."
As soon as the maid said this, Mrs. Fan suddenly came to her senses. She was like a mountain full of mountains and rivers with no way out, and a village full of dark flowers and bright flowers.
"What happened, what happened, something must have happened." Mrs. Fan said to herself with heartache.
After saying that, before the maid on the side could say a word of comfort, Mrs. Fan hurried to Master Su Yunqi's study.
In the past, after being busy with important court matters, Mr. Su Yunqi would stay in his study when he returned to his residence. He would only leave the study when he encountered any necessary matters.
"Master! Master!"
When they arrived at Master Su Yunqi's bedroom, Madam Fan had already knocked on the door in a hurry.
Listening to the knocking on the door, Su Yunqi impatiently walked to the door and opened it.
However, as soon as he opened the door, before the Madam could say a word, Mr. Su Yunqi scolded him: "You are in such a panic! How unbecoming!"
"Master! Master! I have something big to ask, something big to ask!" Mrs. Fan gasped.
Seeing his wife's impatience, Mr. Su Yunqi asked calmly: "What's the matter? If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I still have something important to do."
Seeing the master's words, Mrs. Fan hurriedly asked: "Sir, Runchen... What happened to Runchen? He was so angry when he came back."
"Well, why don't you ask your good son?" the master said angrily.
"Master, you know that this kid Runchen has a stubborn temper. This...this...this"
"Ask him what's the matter! I really don't know how you teach me!" After saying that, Master Su Yun got angry and closed the door of the study.
Seeing the master's appearance, Madam Fan comforted her and said, "Madam, let's forget it. Let's go back. Let's go back."
Looking at the closed door, Mrs. Fan had tears in her eyes, dripping down to her cheeks.
"Madam, let's go." The maid on the side persuaded her again.
After hearing this, Mrs. Fan had no choice but to stand up and glance at the study door.
She was so proud that she wiped her tears with her handkerchief, looked at the maid aside and said, "Go to Runchen's place."
"Eh."
The two of them headed towards Su Runchen's bedroom, but Runchen's bedroom door was also closed.
"Young Master! Open the door. Madam has something to say to you." The maid shouted.
For a long time, there was no echo from the eldest young master Su Runchen's bedroom.
"Shout again." Mrs. Fan on the side was a little anxious.
"Young Master! Open the door!" the maid shouted again.
At this moment, the door just opened, and the frail young master Su Runchen leaned against the door and asked listlessly: "What's the matter?"
Before answering her son's words, Madam Fan rushed in like a government official, found a chair and sat up.
"What do those officials want from you today?" Madam Fan asked.
Listening to his mother's question, Su Runchen stood in front of him with a straight face and said sternly: "It's nothing!"
"Run Chen, how long has it been since this happened? You are still following your mother. Do you have to make a big fuss?" Madam Fan was a little angry.
"Mom, I told you, it's not a big deal." The eldest young master Su Runchen still wanted to hide it.
"Su Runchen!" Mrs. Fan stood up, looked at Runchen's temper, and said: "When did this happen? How long have you kept it secret? You have had this temper since you were a child, and you still have this temper today. Do you know? , Having a stubborn temper will harm others, and you will be killed sooner or later!"
Seeing that the eldest son Su Runchen still didn't say anything, Madam Fan continued: "Where did Xia Shan... go?"
At this time, the originally stubborn young master Su Runchen knelt down directly.
"Mom, I know I was wrong. Xia Shan was all caused by me. Mom, please tell me to be accommodating and let Xia Shan go." Su Runchen looked worried.
Hearing what Runchen said, Mrs. Fan was startled and sat in a chair in a panic, her heart beating thumpingly.
"Mom, please help me. Save Xia Shan, he is my best friend since childhood." Su Runchen's eyes turned red.
Seeing Runchen's appearance, Mrs. Fan sighed: "I know that Xia Shan grew up with you. But if you don't tell mother what happened, how can mother persuade your father?"
At this time, the eldest young master Su Runchen had no choice but to tell the truth: "Mom, I really want to get Miss Liu. But the prince-in-law is bullying me. He insisted on holding a poetry meeting that day, embarrassing me on the spot. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I sent him They killed him."
"Kill? You killed the prince-in-law?!" Mrs. Fan said in disbelief.
Su Runchen nodded, not wanting to say anything else.
Seeing Run Chen like this, Mrs. Fan was very angry and slapped Run Chen on the back: "You! Call me, mother, tell me what you want!"
"The prince-in-law was personally selected by Emperor Hongdao for the princess. Now that you have killed the prince-son-in-law, if the people know that it was you who did it, do you know how much influence it will have on the Su family and how much influence your father will have?!"
Mother's words made the eldest young master Su Runchen feel sad again, but thinking about what the consort did that day, Su Runchen thought it was a relief.
"You'd better ask your father about this matter. Mother can't help you." Mrs. Fan said angrily.
After saying that, he looked at his troubled son Su Runchen who was kneeling on the ground and said, "You will fill the hole you dug in this matter. Don't bother your father, otherwise he will say that my mother is too doting on you."
After saying that, Mrs. Fan looked at the slave beside her and said, "Go back to the room."
After watching his mother leave, the eldest young master Su Runchen stood up, sat on a chair, looked at the books on the table, and pushed them down angrily, causing many books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones to fly down.
At this time, Su Runchen was still thinking: If his parents hadn't stopped him, maybe Miss Liu would have already married and the assassination of the consort would never happen again.
After returning to the bedroom, Mrs. Fan sat in front of the dressing table and said to herself:
"Why do you think these days are so sad? There are so many people talking about this in the Su Mansion. When will these days end?"
"Madam, it will pass. Everything will pass." The slave on the side said with a smile.
I don't know when it was, but the lights in Mrs. Fan's bedroom were extinguished.
…
In the Prison Department Prison, a man was being beaten with a whip by a prison officer.
As the whippings were being whipped one after another, the screams were heard in the execution room and spread throughout the cell.
"Xia Shan, I know that for the sake of my uncle's reputation, you are willing to take on this responsibility. I appreciate you very much, but this company will kill two people, and one of them is the prince-in-law. You may not be able to bear this kind of responsibility. ." Ding Gan, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, said with a smile on his face.
Xia Shan's body was scarred and exhausted, and even his voice was a little weak: "Official, please. Don't hold uncle Guo accountable. I am willing to take the responsibility, even if it means death."
Listening to Xia Shan's words, Ding Gan, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, laughed loudly: "Okay! What a loyal person! Don't worry! Uncle Guo, the court naturally doesn't dare to do anything, but you are different. The prince-in-law was given by the late emperor during the reign of Hongdao. Marriage, and because there was only one princess at that time, the late emperor loved her very much. When the late emperor died, he did not forget to ask his consort to take good care of the princess. As for the rest, I don’t need to say more, right? "
"Official, I know it, I know it. I will take full responsibility for all the crimes."
"Okay. You are a sensible person." After saying that, Ding Gan, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, turned around and waved his hand: "Keep fighting!"
