On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

Even though there was no more news from Prince Dingbei's Palace, Su Kang suddenly came to her for explanation a few days ago and had no objection to the marriage with Prince Dingbei's Palace.

Su Sui'an still had a feeling that since the soldiers from the Ministry of Justice were only surrounding outside, Fu Jingrong must have been there to deal with the situation.

This further confirmed Su Sui'an's thoughts - there were some things about Fu Jingrong and her father that she didn't know. Her father was involved in a military pay embezzlement case, which was most likely a "mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" drama.

Thinking of this, Su Sui'an's tone couldn't help but become a little anxious.

"Time is running out, mother. Now I tell you what to do. You just listen to me. That's right."

Facing Su Sui'an's determined eyes, Ji Lanshuang's lost heart suddenly found a refuge, "Okay."

...

When the Ministry of Justice surrounded the Su Mansion and everyone in the Su Mansion was in a panic, the people in Changping Marquis Mansion were extremely excited.

Shoukang Hall.

Liang finally had her first good sleep since Su Kang returned to Beijing.

Su Qishun did not sleep all night and came to Shoukangtang early in the morning to greet Liang.

In front of others, Liang always puts her son first.

In fact, she was the link between Su Qishun and Prince Yun. If Su Qishun wanted to see Prince Yun, he had to go through Liang's hands.

At the beginning, the relationship between mother and son was relatively harmonious.

However, since Su Kang came back, the disagreements between mother and son have become more and more obvious.

Liang cannot see the situation clearly, but likes to act on his own.

He was gambling the future of the entire Changping Marquisate on Prince Yun’s conscience.

It's just a madman.

Come this time.

Su Qishun came to Liang with the last hope to explain the current situation and asked her to help confuse Prince Yun's sight first...

Liang's complexion became much rosier because of her improved sleep quality.

It's rare that he no longer has the sad expression he had before.

Seeing the lingering sadness between Su Qishun's brows, she was patient with him for a rare time, "Son, I understand why you came to me today, but we can't let our guard down. The first thing you need to do now is to take advantage of this momentum to clean up the dirty stuff in the mansion and take back what originally belonged to you."

It seemed that Liang's words were trying to persuade Su Qishun to take this opportunity to regain his father's attention.

Su Qishun's mouth moved slightly, and he was a little hesitant about what he wanted to say.

But when he saw Liang looking at him with loving eyes, he felt relieved and finally told Liang everything he wanted to say.

"Now Su Kang is in prison. According to the crime that Su Kang was thrown into prison, the people of the Su Mansion should have been arrested and imprisoned on the same day. But now the people of the Su Mansion are still able to stay in the mansion safely. Among them..."

"Shun'er," Liang interrupted Su Qishun impatiently before he could finish his words, with a look of disapproval on her face, "You should know that your status is different from that of your brothers. They can legitimately rely on Prince Yun's Mansion, but you can't.

If it weren't for your mother's constant planning for you, you would probably be scolded as a fatherless bastard in some corner now..."

Come again and again.

Whenever Su Qishun showed a little doubt about Prince Yun's authority, Liang would always bring up the incident from the past...

But...

It was obviously she who was the mistress.

Why should she use his life to pay for every decision made by the Liang family?

For the first time in his life, Su Qishun rejected Liang's words.

"Mother, there must be something fishy about Su Kang being thrown into the prison. Su Kang has only been back for a short time. If there is really a problem, according to the trend of those people in the court to change their attitudes according to the situation, it would be their kindness not to kill Su Kang in prison.

But look, do they show any sign of wanting to take action against Su Kang now?"

Seeing that Liang didn't say anything, Su Qishun continued, "Look at the Su Mansion again. The Su Mansion is still surrounded. This is a signal. The people from the Ministry of Justice are polite to the Su Mansion. This is a glaring reminder, telling us that the Su Mansion has someone to protect it, and Su Kang will come out of the prison safely..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his head.

Along with the sound of porcelain hitting the ground and shattering, Su Qishun felt a sharp pain in his forehead. A hot current meandered from his forehead to the corner of his eye, then slid down his eye to his jaw and fell on his robe.

Only then did he realize that his mother, the mother he had always admired, had just hit him hard on the forehead with the cup of hot tea in her hand.

"Su Qishun, it's my indifference over the years that has given you courage, right?"

Liang spoke slowly.

There is a murderous aura about him that makes people afraid.

At this moment, not only was she no longer timid in front of others, but she also no longer had the rude and petty attitude she had in front of others in the past.

"You'd better take advantage of this opportunity to win your father's favor, otherwise..."

When she said the latter part, Liang looked at Su Qishun with a look that was like poison. "Just as I pushed you to this position, I can also pull you down. Once your identity is exposed, everything in Changping Marquis's Mansion will be nothing but a passing cloud to you. I think you definitely don't want Changping Marquis's Mansion to fall into an irretrievable situation."

Su Qishun choked.

The words that I wanted to say and my plans were never spoken out loud.

"I see."

He sighed, respectfully said goodbye to Liang, and then left slowly.

Liang said it lightly, but Su Qishun knew it better than anyone else.

If he really follows Prince Yun's arrangement now, then the entire Changping Marquisate will be in an irreparable situation...

After thinking it over, he decided to go to Dingbei Palace to take a gamble.

Betray King Yun in exchange for his own safety and security.

What he did is not called betrayal, at most it is called a hero who knows the times.

Having made up his mind, he held his head high and was about to walk out.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, a short-sighted servant bumped into him.

A strange fragrance quickly entered his nose from the tip of his nose and disappeared in an instant.

It was so fast that he almost thought the fragrance was just an illusion.

Inexplicably, a surge of uncontrollable anger surged in Su Qishun's heart, "Which courtyard are you from? How dare you be so bold?"

The gray-clothed servant who bumped into Su Qishun looked plain, the kind that could be easily lost in a crowd.

However, his eyes were evasive and panicky.

After being scolded by Su Qishun, he just apologized hurriedly and turned away.

Su Qishun suddenly felt something was wrong.

Catch up immediately.

"You stop."

The servant shouted and ran faster.

What’s strange is that in the past, servants would pass by the yard from time to time, but today, not even a ghost was seen.

Without waiting for Su Qishun to think about it carefully.

The servant who dodged him hid behind a low wall on the cold courtyard side. When Su Qishun ran there, he had disappeared.

The cold courtyard of the Changping Marquis Mansion was once the courtyard of the old marquis's wife.

After the old marquis's wife passed away, the courtyard had been vacant. Later, when Liang was granted an imperial decree, she personally ordered the old marquis's wife's courtyard to be sealed off.

As time went by, Lengyuan lost its former splendor and elegance, and several corners of it collapsed due to disrepair.

Until a few days ago.

Qin Qing was sent here and locked up because he had an affair with someone. They barely found someone to renovate the house and give Qin Qing a place to shelter from the sun.

Because he was worried that Qin Qing would run away, Su Qishun specially asked Liang to arrange two servants to live here.

While taking care of Qin Qing's daily life, he also kept a close eye on Qin Qing.

These days, Su Qishun was extremely busy and tried to numb himself from missing Qin Qing.

Deliberately forget Qin Qing's every frown and smile.

Now that he was close to here, the emotions that he had been forcibly suppressing suddenly seemed to have an outlet.

No matter how he suppressed it, it gushed out domineeringly.

Su Qishun still had some feelings for Qin Qing, otherwise, he would not have kept Qin Qing in his house after Qin Qing gave him a hat.

Most of the work has been done by now.

He had long forgotten Qin Qing's betrayal.

Or maybe, the longing for Qin Qing in his heart has already surpassed his hatred for Qin Qing.

At this moment, Su Qishun's mind was in a mess and he could no longer remember why he had chased after him in the first place.

All I could think of was Qin Qing's messy hair and the way she looked at him pitifully...
