In his previous life, after he died and became a wandering ghost, he had already seen through the Minister's Estate. In his second life, he had made up his mind to take revenge on the people of the Minister's Estate! However, why did he slowly soften his heart?
Su Xinyan's eyes darkened. Her mind was filled with the fierce and stern look her father gave her during dinner.
"The deposed Crown Princess has no talent or virtue, and she can't tolerate anyone else. How can such a person who doesn't know the big picture be worthy of being the daughter of the Minister of Rites? He was not worthy when he was alive, and he was even more unworthy after he died! The Smiths will never acknowledge a daughter like this! I won't take the corpse, just throw it into the mass grave!”
Every word! Every word was like a sharp needle. These were the words Su Lihua had said when the guards guarding the city had received the Crown Prince's orders to bring her dead body to the Minister's manor.
Then, because Su Lihua refused to collect her body, she was carried to the city gate again. After the Crown Prince's second order came, she was thrown into the mass grave.
"Oh!" Su Xinyan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly groaned.
It turned out that she felt a sudden pain in her heart, as if her heart had been heavily injured. Then, this pain spread throughout her body at an extremely fast speed. The things in front of her suddenly turned dark. Su Xinyan did not know if it was because the room was too dark that she could not see for a while.
The flowing light veil was lifted, revealing Le Han's beautiful face. She asked gently,"Miss, what's wrong?" Next to him was Suxue's face. The latter looked tired. She must have fallen asleep just now.
Su Xin studied it for a while before coming back to her senses. She held the blanket and did not say anything.
His heart ached, and his limbs seemed to be drained of strength. Fortunately, the scenery in front of him had returned to normal. She smiled weakly and shook her head at the two maids." It's nothing." The two of you can leave. Don't worry about me.”
Le Han and Suxue were skeptical. Because the room was dimly lit, they could not see a thin layer of sweat on Su Xinyan's forehead. They did not know that she was sweating because of pain. The two of them only heard Su Xinyan's muffled groan and came up to ask.
Since their master had said that there was nothing, the two of them did not stand there and returned to the place from before.
Su Xinyan came back to her senses. She wanted to give him a gift and thought about something. However, she knocked her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
On the other side, in the famous Fulai Inn in East Imperial City. Fulai Inn had existed since the previous dynasty. Many people who needed to rest in the capital would choose this place.
The door was opened and a man with a long sword entered. The man shouted into the room," Master!”
It turned out that there was another man in the room. The man was sitting at a high table with a candle lit on it. The man's hand was on the table and he was reading a book. He didn't even care if someone pushed open the door and entered. He didn't even look up.
The man with the sword was probably a follower. He looked like a scholar with his hair tied up. He was dressed in light green clothes that fell to his feet. There was a sword on the side of his white waist, and the pattern of some unknown flower was engraved on the scabbard.
Not only did the man look like a scholar, but even his movements were like a scholar. He stopped after taking a few steps into the room and said,"Master, I've already investigated clearly. Su Weihong, who had allowed Dongchen to win this time, was the Di son of Su Lihua, the second-grade official of Dongchen's Ministry of Rites.”
"Minister of Rites?" The man sitting in front of the table suddenly spoke, his voice as clear and melodious as flowing water. As he spoke, he had already raised his head. The candlelight in front of him flickered, and the yellow light shone on his handsome face, making him look indescribably beautiful.
The man's black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and there were two thick green eyebrows on his forehead. She had a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes with fine and long eyelashes. The black pupils in her eyes were clear, but they seemed very complicated. No one could see anything from her eyes. His tall and handsome nose bridge and thin, knife-like lips inadvertently gave him a cold and heroic air.
"Yes." The man with the sword replied," Su Weihong is the son of the official. He has two daughters. However, the second daughter was born to the current wife, and only the eldest daughter, Su Xinyan, had the same father and mother as Su Weihong.”
As he spoke, the peerlessly beautiful man sitting in front of the table nodded and muttered something.
"There's news from Nanhua." The man with the sword paused for a moment."They want to form an alliance with Dongchen. They want to sign an agreement to not fight for the next three years and to get along well."”
The beautiful man suddenly became interested. He glanced at his attendant with his red phoenix eyes, indicating for him to speak more clearly.
The attendant could only make it clearer," The Emperor has the intention to form an alliance with Dongchen, whose national strength is faintly surpassing that of the other countries. However, the Emperor is only doing so on purpose. Perhaps the Emperor wants to form an alliance with Dongchen, but the Emperor of Dongchen is not willing.”
From the man's words, these two people should be from the South.
"Humph! That old man was too confident. He thought that the Dongchen Emperor would be willing just because he wanted to. Dongchen was not willing to sign a contract with Nanhua without any benefits!”There was a hint of mockery on the beautiful man's face, but it was clear that he despised the Emperor of Nanhua.
The continent was filled with warlords. Many years ago, there were many countries. These countries then annexed other countries, and in the end, there was a difference in strength. Weak countries attached themselves to strong countries, and strong countries became stronger.
In the end, four great nations appeared on the continent. They were Xiyuan, Beishao, Nanhua, and Dongchen. In recent years, Dongchen had developed rapidly, and its national strength had faintly surpassed that of other countries. Among them, the most convincing was the Dongchen Emperor's talent and leadership.
However, no matter what the reason for the development of the weakest country among the four countries was his ability.
"Master. This servant has contacted Master Bai. Master Bai will come to the inn in three days.”
The absolute beauty nodded. He seemed to have thought of something and narrowed his beautiful phoenix eyes.
"Qu Feng, you may leave." the absolute beauty said.
The man called Qu Feng quickly left the room. The door was knocked shut, and the beautiful man put down the book. He raised his left hand in front of the candlelight and covered his right arm with his bony left hand.
There was an arrow wound on his right arm.
Two days later-
A red sun gradually rose on the dark mountain range in the distance. The passionate painter dyed the sky plum red. In the distance, the eagle flew to a high place, and it had to show its fierce aura in the air before it was willing.
Occasionally, bold birds would fly into the courtyard and jump on the stone slabs. Realizing that there was no danger, the birds became bolder and began to chirp.
Su Xinyan woke up early. After washing up, she went to the old madam's Furui Pavilion to pay her respects. In the past two days, Su Xin Yan had never paid her respects to the old madam. However, the old madam's attitude towards her had always been lukewarm.
Yesterday, he had even deliberately ignored Su Xinyan, who had yet to get up, and talked to Su Qiandan for quite a while. Even so, Su Xinyan still did not want Old Madam to say that she was rude, so she kept squatting.
This morning, she still packed up and went to Fringe Court.
However, when she went there today, Mrs. Liu, who was by the old madam's side, told her that the old madam was not up yet and asked her to go in later.
The old madam had yet to get up, so Su Xinyan naturally had no reason to go in. Thus, she waited in the courtyard of Furui Pavilion. Facing the red sun in the east and admiring the sunrise did not seem so boring.
"Young miss, you're so early! This concubine thought that she had rushed over early today so that she could have a chat with Old Furen, but she did not expect Young Miss to arrive so quickly. You're really filial!"
The one who spoke was Aunt Liu. She was leading a maid over. Because Concubine Liu was more than two months pregnant, her status in the manor rose with the tide. Even the Old Furen, who had always looked down on these Concubines, changed her previous attitude and was amiable to Concubine Liu.
He even made an exception and allowed Aunt Liu to come to pay her respects. The old madam's mood would improve if she had someone to talk to. She would not be too depressed.
Su Xinyan turned around and smiled at Aunt Liu." Aunt, you're early! People always say that pregnant women love to sleep, but I didn't expect YiNiang to come so early, even earlier than me.”
Aunt Liu slowly approached Su Xinyan and bowed to her." Eldest Miss 'status is noble. How can I be compared to Eldest Miss? Eldest Young Miss, everyone in the residence said that Eldest Young Miss has the Empress behind her, so she would definitely not lose to Furen.”
Su Xinyan's eyes flashed as she became wary and frowned slightly. If Liu-shi had nothing to do, she wouldn't have said these strange words.
Aunt Liu, who was dressed in a pink dress, suddenly had tears in her eyes. Su Xin Yan, who was in front of her, only came to her waist. However, in terms of status, one was on the horizon, and the other was on the soil. Liu-shi was filled with emotions, and a sense of powerlessness that she had never felt before spread throughout her body.
"What did YiNiang say? My mother is the matriarch of the household in the Minister's Residence, and also my mother. How could she say 'I won't lose to Furen?'”Su Xinyan refused to relent. One had to know that no matter how they fought in secret, one was still a good mother and the other was a filial daughter on the surface.
It was like a window paper. As long as it was not pierced, the window would still be the same. However, if it was pierced, there was no way to start over.
Liu-shi forced a smile, and after an exaggerated laugh, she once again approached Su Xin Yan. She leaned over and whispered into Su Xin Yan's ear,"That's true. No matter who wins, it has nothing to do with me. It's just that now that Furen is in power, I can only offend Eldest Miss in order to survive and my Xin `er's future!”#
