”Is Second Sister blind? Why would Crown Prince like an ugly monster? ” ”No matter how hard Fourth Sister tries to cover her face, it would just be a ruin for her.”
Su Qianyan choked on her words, her face flushed red. She lowered her head and wanted to get up to give her seat.
However, the old lady reached out and grabbed her hand, ”You're the first daughter of my Su family. Sit here properly, no one is forcing you to leave.”
With that, the old lady patted the back of Su Li's hand with her other hand, ”You are now a fifth-grade female official, even my grandmother would greet you when she sees you.
Su Qianyue froze on the spot, he stomped his feet and refused to accept it, ”Grandmother, I am also your granddaughter, why do you have to protect Second Sister and your fourth sister?”
The old mistress' tone turned stern. ”Looks like your mother hasn't taught you well in the past two days?” When will you learn your Second Sister's personality and come here to fight for my favor? ”
Su Qianyue was so anxious that his eyes turned red. He thought about the teachings his mother had given him these past few days, and knew that he had to restrain her temper no matter what.
But she had already been ridden on top of her head. How could she restrain herself?
”Grandmother, do you want me to learn from the Second Sister and be a hindrance?”
The old lady naturally knew about Hexin's situation, but she wanted to frustrate Su Qianyue's spirit, so that she wouldn't marry into the House of Hou and bring disaster to the Su Family.
”Today, I'll teach you a thing or two. If you don't have ironclad proof, you will be slandering me when you say those words. After you have ironclad proof, you can come here and complain to me.”
Su Qianyue looked at Su Li and Su Qianyan unrestrainedly, turned and ran out of the hall with reddened eyes.
Su Li tilted his head and looked at the old lady, just in time to see her sigh, her eyes filled with disappointment.
On the surface, the old lady did not seem to like Su Qianyue.
However, she felt that the old mistress' most favorite target was still Su Qianyue. To beat her up like this and ridicule her, it was all for her own good!
Su Li laughed coldly in his heart, it was just a pity, with the old lady's thoughts, if she met with Su Qianyue's personality, she would waste it all for nothing!
The few of them spoke for a while longer as different thoughts ran through their minds. Then, Su Li took his leave and left.
When they came out of the north courtyard, they saw that all the servant girls from the General's Mansion were moving things towards the pavilion.
After the rain, the lotus blossoms blossomed in the spring water lake, and the carp swam back and forth in it, neither beautiful nor flourishing.
From the looks of it, Shangguan Yao was preparing to place the lunch at the center of the lake.
Su Lincheng had not come back from the meeting, and the Zuo Mansion had not received any news that she was at the General's Mansion.
She looked at the sky. The sun was rising slowly to the east, and the light was shining down on the earth. The breeze was gentle, and the surroundings were peaceful.
Su Li suddenly laughed, ”Is this the calm before the storm?”
”What is the Fourth Miss saying?” The two servant girls didn't hear it clearly and thought Su Li was telling them something.
”Nothing, let's go back to the west yard.”
”Yes.”
After Su Nianyu left the Northern Courtyard, he realized that something was wrong the more he thought about it.
If the people from Zuo Mansion weren't lying and weren't mistaken, the second young master of the Zuo Family was killed by Su Li and her Zuo Mansion were also set on fire by her, then why did she return to the General's Mansion overnight to seek refuge? Or did he want to pull his General's Mansion into the water?
Right now, his father had not returned from the imperial court, so he was afraid that Su Li would cause a centrifuge between the Su and Zuo Families. Without thinking too much, he immediately left the Su Family and rushed towards the Zuo Mansion.
The matter of Zuo Mansion was related to the relatives of the important officials, and was directly taken over by the justice courts.
When Su Nianyu arrived, it just so happened that he rushed back from the Casual Village with the Supreme Court's Shaoqing and dozens of officials.
”Shaochen, how is it?” Su Nianyu walked a few steps over and asked.
Zuo Shaochen's expression was unfriendly, ”We dug out thirteen burnt corpses, but we do not know which one is Shaohai's, the murderer is truly sinful, if we do not cut her into five parts, it will be difficult to quell the hatred in my heart.”
