The news about the Su family spread quickly, and all the families were afraid to avoid it. At this time, the Su family was in chaos like a pot of porridge, with people walking around and scattering.
"News came from the palace. The Holy Emperor was furious. The young master was beheaded and the old master lost his official position."
The maid sent by Su Xinyue to inquire came back to report
Su Xinyue's face darkened when she heard this, and she asked, "Does Madam know?"
"I'm afraid Madam already knew about such a big thing! And..." The maid looked at her face and hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
"What else? Just say it, I can bear it!" She calmed down and pursed her lips.
"His Majesty has decreed that the young lady should renew her string to Prince Yin's second son immediately tomorrow."
"What! This is impossible!" Su Xinyue didn't seem to believe it, her eyes widened and even her feet became a little soft.
"Miss!" The maid immediately supported her
"I am the legitimate daughter of the Su family, how could this be so? How could this be so." Su Xinyue sat down slowly on the chair, tears welling up in her eyes, and then looked at the maid and said, "Father will not leave me alone, right?" ?”
The maid turned her head and remained silent.
"You talk, talk!"
She really couldn't accept it, so she lay on the table and cried bitterly. She always believed that even if she was not a man, as long as she was good enough and better than her incompetent brother, she would be able to win her father's favor, marry the right man, and live a happy life. , but in the face of destiny, all her efforts were in vain, she was unwilling to give in, not willing to give in!
"Miss! Madam has fainted!" A servant ran in to report.
Su Xinyue pretended not to hear, she could still take care of others at the moment, so the maid saw this and kicked the servant out.
The servant didn't know what happened, so he was pushed out.
After a long time, her mood recovered a little, she wiped away her tears, tidied up her appearance, and went to the study.
"Father!" Su Xinyue pushed the door open and entered.
Su Pei took care of the injury and was lying on the couch. He said calmly: "You know everything."
The tone was extremely calm, so calm that Su Xinyue was a little shocked. She suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Su Pei knew what she meant. He didn't say a word and just looked at her. He knew that this daughter was very angry and couldn't accept it for a while. It was normal. He knew that she would come to beg him, but there was nothing he could do. .
"Pack your things and go to the palace tomorrow."
Su Xinyue didn't expect that she didn't seem to believe it after hearing such a sentence, and continued to ask: "Is father really so cruel?"
Su Pei stopped looking at her and didn't answer his words. He waved his hand and motioned for her to go out.
"Okay! My daughter understands, take care of your father!" Su Xinyue saw him clearly at this moment. She should have known that it was the same as before, but nothing has changed now. She held back her tears, kowtowed heavily, and left without looking back. .
Su Pei looked at her leaving back, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes. He was sorry for her, and even more sorry for her mother.
After Su Xinyue left, tears flowed down unsatisfactoryly. She didn't understand why she had to pay for the evil things Su Heng had done. She was unhappy in the first half of her life, but in the second half of her life she seemed to be able to see the end of the palace at a glance. How could anyone let her go, let alone make her feel better.
"Your Majesty! The Queen Mother asks for an audience!" The father-in-law beside Emperor Chu Wen came in to report.
Emperor Chu Wen never stopped correcting the memorial. He paused and then said, "Just say I'm busy."
The father-in-law nodded and went out to reply.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that she has been standing outside since she couldn't see you." The father-in-law looked sad. He himself was in a very difficult position. He made it very clear to the Queen Mother, but she still wanted to challenge His Majesty's bottom line. This was not an easy matter. The Holy Spirit is angry.
Emperor Chu Wen was already very irritable today. Something happened to the Su family, and he was still approving memorials, and some of them were pleading for the Su family. He didn't even have to think about whose handwriting it was.
He reluctantly closed the memorial, stopped writing, and said: "Please come in, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother was wearing simple clothes and was helped in by her maids.
"My son, please give my regards to the Queen Mother!" Emperor Wen of Chu helped the Queen Mother sit on a chair and ordered everyone to step aside.
"Your Majesty! Su Family"
"Queen Mother!" Emperor Chu Wen immediately interrupted her
He added: "Mother, you know, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"
"The Su family is the mother's family of the Ai family. It's a family matter! Wang Sheng's openness on the Internet is just for the sake of the Ai family."
"There's no need to say anything, Queen Mother, everything has been settled." The Holy Emperor sat on the chair again, further away from her, not wanting to listen to what she had to say anymore.
The Queen Mother stood up excitedly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty may have forgotten how the Su family helped your Majesty ascend to the throne in the past."
Emperor Wen of Chu's face became more and more ugly: "Mother! I am the emperor. The emperor commits the same crimes as the common people when he breaks the law. The Su family's premature behavior has exceeded its merits."
The Queen Mother wanted to say something else, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say anything.
"I don't want to say something too harsh. Mother, please take care of yourself from now on."
"Ai Jia is your biological mother. Your Majesty, don't forget how Ai Jia wholeheartedly protected you back then. If it weren't for Ai Jia, how would you be where you are today!"
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, her voice trembled a bit. She knew she had gone too far, but she had no choice.
Emperor Chu Wen sneered, so he protected me in the beginning just to gain what he could get from me now, power and status, which he did not give to the Su family. Only today did he understand that his mother had been selfish and indifferent from the beginning to the end.
As if he had decided something, he looked at his mother and said slowly: "If my mother still wants to be the Queen Mother in the future, she will go back to Cining Palace. I will pretend that I have never heard these words today."
"You..." The Queen Mother pointed her finger at him angrily, and the anger in her eyes seemed to burst out.
"Come here! Send the Queen Mother back to the palace!"
Following his order, someone took her down.
"There's no need to let her out when nothing happens."
"yes!"
Yun Zixiang ate the lotus seeds that Chu Qian peeled for her on the plate. They also heard about what happened in the capital.
"So, is the Su family about to collapse?" Yun Zixiang asked while eating lotus seeds.
"Almost." Chu Qian replied with a smile, and the smile in his eyes made her feel as if everything was as expected.
"However, we seem to have overlooked one person."
"Not bad! Su An."
"Are you adding fuel to the flames behind this?"
Yun Zixiang expressed her doubts, and she had guessed it.
Chu Qian did not deny it: "They are a building that is about to collapse. Without me, there are still many people."
"This debt is finally paid back to my husband."
"It's still early!" Chu Qian patted her head lovingly
"However, Su Xinyue's changes were something I didn't expect." Yun Zixiang sighed
From a woman's point of view, Yun Zixiang was also a pity for her. She was born into the wrong family, and her family has been implicated throughout her life.
Chu Qian responded, but he didn't expect it at first...
