Xiao Yuehuai stood in front of Guanhe Pavilion and looked around with complicated emotions.
This strange building will be her shelter in the future...
A Lu was busy taking care of things for her in the corridors and pavilions. The servants of the General's Mansion went in and out, following Su Ying's instructions and bringing in many things. It was said that they were all things she had been asking for, most of them. A study piece used for decoration.
Xiao Yuehuai had a headache, held her forehead and smiled bitterly, holding up her skirt and stepping into the main hall of the pavilion.
She had just inquired about Su's family status from her servants, and was even more shocked after learning about it.
When Alu mentioned the Fanyang Su family for the first time, she had no time to react. Later, she thought about it and she did remember that such a noble family existed in her previous life. However, the Su family was very depressed at that time and was rarely mentioned by others. If it hadn't been for a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette who died in the line of duty, she wouldn't have even remembered it.
However, in this life, the Su family has greatly changed from the past, and has become a noble family comparable to the three aristocratic families.
To say how it rises, timing and manpower are indispensable.
The Su family has three rooms. The eldest roommate, Su Shaoyuan, was the Minister of Rites who was killed on a mission and unfortunately died, and Su Ying was his only remaining bloodline. The only person in the family who was in court passed away, and the Su family, who was not included in the ninth grade, naturally fell into silence and withdrew from the temple.
Unexpectedly, in the eighteenth year of Kangming's reign, Su Shaoqi, his second wife, joined the Ministry of Industry because he was proficient in all kinds of work. This man was knowledgeable and knowledgeable about ancient and modern times. He was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry in just one year. Appear in public view.
At the same time, Su Ying was dormant on the border, spending ten years sharpening his sword, drinking blood, and winning frequently on the battlefield. He was promoted from a small soldier along the way, made great contributions, and was granted the title of general of the country, leading the Su family to the pinnacle of power.
Relying on these uncles and nephews, the Su family has secured a bright future.
But such an unexpected incident made Xiao Yuehuai tremble, and a dense chill grew in her heart. She originally thought that after her rebirth, the Great Zhou Dynasty would move forward as she remembered, but now she dare not say so:
She made some insinuations and found out the reasons why she married into the Su family.
A few months ago, an assassination occurred at the hunting ground in the western suburbs. Just like in the previous life, it was aimed at her and Lu Pingsheng.
Only this time, Su Ying exposed the conspiracy of Bai Zhen's disciples and killed them all in advance. The remaining two or three were out of character and did not harm Lu Pingsheng. Mrs. Lu also lost the chance to ask for marriage through kindness.
The two generals on the left and right of Silver Armor Guard were not demoted from the capital due to dereliction of duty, so they accepted Su Ying's kindness and showed great respect to him. Only then were they willing to listen to his orders at night and lurk on the cargo ship.
I heard from A Lu that her father's original plan was to betroth her to Sanlang of the Lu family, but Su Ying intervened and asked to marry her. Because he successfully destroyed the base of the Bai Zhen Clan rebels and protected the dignity of the royal family, his father made a special promise to him.
So Su Ying exchanged the emperor's promise for an opportunity to compete for an engagement. His father was already very fond of him, but the assassination case in the western suburbs hunting ground disappointed Lu Pingsheng, so he took advantage of the situation and agreed to his request.
Su Ying tried his best to compete with Lu Sanlang and won with only a slight difference. The competition that caused a sensation in the capital is still the talk of teahouses and restaurants.
Xiao Yuehuai was glad that she was not married to Lu Pingsheng, but she was also full of unknown fear of the Su Mansion.
Taking a closer look at the differences between this life and the past, except for the Su family, everything else seems to be the same: the Lu family's ambition has not diminished at all, and her friends and family are still suffering from it.
It's just that... Fan Yangsu's family is regaining power. I wonder if it will be a blessing or a curse for the future?
She must prepare a response in advance, and the only way to eliminate the danger of Su's family is to use it for her own use.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yuehuai made up his mind——
To conquer people's hearts, naturally you need the most powerful medicine.
In the previous life, the case of Su Shaoyuan, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was killed on a mission remained an unsolved case until the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty. It's not that people from the Fan Yang Su family have never gone to Beijing to make trouble, but they were always dismissed and returned to their hometown, unable to continue to pursue the truth.
In this life, since Su Ying has assumed the position of general on his own, he will definitely not give up the investigation of his father's case. This is an excellent breakthrough for Xiao Yuehuai.
If we can help Su solve this case, everything will be solved.
But right now, she still had a more difficult question that she couldn't answer, and her heart was agitated...
She glanced at the furnishings in the room and was about to sit down on the soft goose feather cushions. Alu ran in like a whirlwind: "Princess! The prince-in-law sent someone to ask, can we go to the front hall to have dinner tonight?"
Xiao Yuehuai thought for a moment and replied, "Go ahead."
Alu cast a strange look at her: "Princess? Why did you change your gender today? In the past, you always declined such invitations from the prince-in-law."
Xiao Yuehuai twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled helplessly: "You also said that I have been quarreling with him for a long time. If this continues, I am afraid that even the censor will be blamed for my lack of personal ethics. In order to avoid father's trouble, I'd better take the initiative to do something for him. good."
"Go and find out...ask the general what he likes? Tell the cook to cook the same. I want to have a good talk with him tonight."
A Lu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He leaned over and asked, "Princess, you still take the initiative to prepare meals for the general? You said it when you married into the Su family... The prince-in-law will never think of sharing a meal with you in this life." .”
Xiao Yuehuai was startled. Did she hate Su Ying so much before?
After a second thought, it became clear: She hated being forced by others the most in her life. Even if she didn't marry Lu Pingsheng as she wished, Su Ying's predatory attitude was what she found most disgusting. No wonder she had trouble with him every day after marriage.
However, now that she has experienced a lifetime of loneliness, she has long lost her former pride, and she really doesn't dare to continue to be willful.
The curled eyelashes gently lowered, covering those weather-beaten eyes, Xiao Yuehuai scolded: "Why don't you hurry up and get ready? What are you doing with all your talk?"
Alu chuckled, turned around and mingled with the maid on the corridor. After muttering for a long time, they walked to the backyard together.
Xiao Yuehuai got up and walked to the inner room. She rummaged through the cabinets and found a butterfly-pattern dress with wide sleeves and flowing clouds. She was thinking about how to phrase it:
She always felt something was wrong. If Su Ying didn't know who kicked him into the river that night...if the secret account was lost, how could he calmly arrange for the silver-armored guards to wait at the dock?
Unless he knew that she had taken away the evidence and what she would do next, he had a plan.
If this is really the case...then Su Ying's thoughts are too terrifying.
Xiao Yuehuai went there this time, determined to find out what he said.
