It's hard to be a stepmother, my disabled husband takes care of my child

No one answered, and it was obvious that they were also thinking about this matter.

Su Man pondered for a moment, and a name slowly appeared in her mind.

"I have a candidate, but I'm not sure if she is the one. I can only say that I'm suspicious. Maybe I can start by investigating her!"

Everyone turned their eyes to her.

"Who is it? Tell me quickly!" Wei Yan said anxiously.

"Li Yan." Su Man glanced at Fu Xiu and slowly uttered two words.

This time, everyone turned their attention to Fu Xiu again.

After all, everyone knows that Li Yan likes Fu Xiu.

Su Man also knew this, so she looked at Fu Xiu with a teasing expression.

Of course she would not doubt Fu Xiu. She understood that if Fu Xiu really had any interest in Li Yan, she would not be sitting here now.

Fu Xiu showed a bit of helplessness in his eyes and squeezed Su Man's hand.

"Stop messing around and keep talking."

His tone was so doting and gentle that Su Man, who was just enjoying the show, blushed all of a sudden, her face full of embarrassment.

other people:"………"

They shouldn't be here, they should be under the table.

Su Man was really worried that Fu Xiu might say something nonsense, so she immediately changed the topic to Li Yan.

"Well... Actually, there is only one kind of person who would harm us, and that is someone who has a grudge against us. To be honest, our real enemies are Li Yan and the one in the palace. Since you already know that the man in black belongs to the one in the palace, then Li Yan is the only one left.

There are two reasons. One is that you all know that Li Yan once came to the town to look for me, and she also came to provoke me a few days ago, including the time in the palace that made her very angry, so it is normal for her to hold a grudge against me.

The second reason is that we met her before she was assassinated today, and what she said at that time was a bit problematic. "

She told several people what Li Yan said at the door of the herbal tea shop.

"Although I can't guarantee that it was her, I still doubt her. Anyway, you don't know where to start the investigation, so why not start with her? Didn't you say that those eight people were just ordinary guards? Since the bodies have been brought back, I think it should be easy for you to find out who the guards are, right?"

"Fu Er, you go and do it." Fu Xiu gave the order directly without any hesitation or doubt.

His unhesitating belief made Su Man couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly.

She herself couldn't guarantee 100% that it was Li Yan, but Fu Xiu believed her more than she did.

This feeling is really addictive.

Fu Er immediately took the order and left.

Su Man took a short rest and then went to stew pigeon soup.

Even though we had just experienced a dangerous fight, we still had to get through it the same way.

In other words, you have to live a better life to scare the enemies behind you.

The snacks and roast chicken she bought were also delivered to the door, and all the servants in the general's mansion had a share.

Everyone's favorable impression of Su Man increased a lot.

Everyone knows where these pastries and roast chickens come from and how much they cost.

Although these silvers are nothing to the general's mansion, some wealthy people will never let them eat these things, because they think that as servants, if they eat the same food as the master, it would be an insult to the master.

And now, the wife of their general's mansion not only buys it for them to eat, but also shares it with everyone in the mansion.

This matter soon spread everywhere, and everyone was very interested in Su Man, the general's wife, and wanted to meet her.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

At this time in the palace, the atmosphere in the Cining Palace was very depressing.

Only the Emperor and the Queen Mother were present.

"Damn it! I sent out so many people but couldn't kill that Su Man and the two bastards! Who is that Su Man? Is she really just an ordinary village girl? How could she survive among the people under my command!"

The emperor's face was full of gloom. When he thought about how so many people had been mobilized but failed to kill Su Man and the two bastards, he became furious.

"Not only them, but also Fu Xiu, who was not hurt at all. This gave Fu Xiu time to rescue Su Man and the two bastards!" The Queen Mother's face was also very bad.

Originally, they thought that since Li Yan was the first to take action, they could take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Su Man and the two children.

They knew that it was impossible to hurt Fu Xiu, let alone kill him, so they only wanted to attack Su Man and the two children, which would also severely injure Fu Xiu and make him uncomfortable.

As a result, not only were no one hurt, but they lost so many people.

"This also proves how powerful the people around Fu Xiu are, and how great a threat they pose to me. Mother, we can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, Fu Xiu will definitely not let us go. He must know the truth about the death of that bitch of his sister!"

The emperor spoke with gnashing teeth. When talking about his former wife, he did not feel the slightest bit of nostalgia, only disgust and calculation.

The Queen Mother: "Wait a little longer, your uncle is still preparing some things, we can start in five days."

"Five days later? By then he will be married! It's such a good deal for him!" the emperor said viciously.

"If my uncle hadn't been ready yet, I would have made him die on his wedding day, and I would have buried that woman Su Man in his bridal chamber... and I would have made him die with regrets!"

"Don't be impulsive." The Queen Mother frowned and scolded, "You have to wait until five days later. Don't do anything foolish, otherwise you will regret it forever! In five days, send his whole family to hell and burn down the general's mansion. Then he will die with his eyes wide open!"

"I understand. I have endured it for so many years, and I will definitely not be intolerant for just a few days."

"I'm glad you know." The Queen Mother didn't say much. She was still very confident in her son.

Otherwise, she would not have thought of getting close to Sister Fu Xiu. If it were not for the support of the General's Mansion, the throne would never have been her son's.

"It's just that, mother, Fu Xiu will never let this matter go. Fu Xiu can't find out the identities of our people, but it's easy to find out the identities of Yanran's people, so we must hand over a scapegoat when the time comes."

He already had a candidate in mind, but he didn't know whether his mother would be willing to give her up.

The Queen Mother was just about to pick up the teacup to take a sip of tea when she paused slightly when she heard these words.

Soon, she continued to drink a sip of ginseng tea as if nothing had happened.

"You can figure it out."

"Mother, are you willing to do this?" the emperor asked curiously.

"We have raised her for so many years, and given her a life of luxury. Now it's time for her to repay us. What's more, you are my son. I have been making plans for you all my life. How can I hold you back at this time?"

After hearing this, the emperor smiled with satisfaction.

"Thank you very much, mother."

As soon as the two finished talking, Li Yan's voice was heard outside the door.

"Aunt Empress Dowager, cousin Emperor! I am Yanran! I have something to tell you, please let this person in! The dog slave outside the door won't let me in!"

Hearing Li Yan's noisy voice, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor frowned at the same time.

"Let her in." The Queen Mother said softly.

The emperor nodded and then shouted to the door.

"Let Yanran come in."

Li Yan, who was outside the door, heard the voice and immediately pushed the door open and ran in.

The eunuch guarding the door closed the door again after Li Yan entered.

"Aunt Empress Dowager, cousin Emperor! Help! I...I..."

She fell directly to her knees at the Queen Mother's feet, her face filled with fear and she was about to cry.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager both knew exactly what was going on, but they still looked confused.

"Yanran, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, just say it nicely. Why are you so out of control?"

The emperor pretended to be helpless and scolded, but in fact there was no warmth in his eyes.

The Queen Mother even raised her hand and helped the man up.

"Yes, your cousin is right. We are all family. Is there anything we can't talk about peacefully? How can you, as a princess, be so flustered?"

When Li Yan heard these words, she burst into laughter and sat up following the Queen Mother's hand.

"Cousin Emperor, Aunt Queen Mother, I...I'm in trouble, you must save me."

"Oh? You got into trouble? What kind of trouble? With me, the Queen Mother, and your cousin, the Emperor, here, no matter how big the trouble is, we can help you solve it."

The Queen Mother patted Li Yan's hand, just like an ordinary person coaxing a child, with love and doting.

The heavy stone in Li Yan's heart finally fell. Yes, her aunt the Empress Dowager and her cousin the Emperor had always loved her the most.

What's more, this time the two of them tacitly agreed that she could do it, so what was she worried about?

Thinking of this, Li Yan felt completely relieved.

"Cousin Emperor, Aunt Queen Mother, it was that day when Fu Xiu brought Su Man into the palace, and she kept speaking rudely. Didn't I tell you that I would teach her a lesson?

Today she finally went out, so I sent someone to teach her a lesson and make her and the two bastards disappear completely. But my people failed, and I…I was worried that Fu Xiu would find out about me, so you must help me. "

She looked at the two men with tears in her eyes, certain that they would help her.

The emperor and the empress dowager looked at each other, and then the empress dowager pretended to be angry and growled at Li Yan.

"What? Yanran, how dare you do this? Do you know what you are doing? You actually sent assassins to deal with Su Man? You...how can you be so confused!"

She looked disappointed in her friend, and Li Yan was stunned by her words.

"Aunt Queen Mother, you...how can you say that to me? It was you who told me to do whatever it takes to get what I want, and I am doing exactly what you told me! How can you say that to me!"

Li Yan's face was full of grievance. She felt that the Empress Dowager was somewhat strange to her today.

"How dare you!" The Queen Mother said angrily with a stern face, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I, a Queen Mother, instigate you to kill someone?"

"I..." Li Yan had no idea what to say, because that was indeed what the Queen Mother and the Emperor had tacitly agreed upon.

Why are you going back on your word now?

Li Yan was a little panicked, but she was not completely stupid and she immediately understood what she should do.

"Yes, yes, aunt the queen mother, you are right. Yanran was confused, it was Yanran's fault, Yanran will never talk nonsense again in the future, but aunt the queen mother, cousin the emperor, you must help me, if Fu Xiu knew that I was the one who did it, he would never let me go!"

She has liked Fu Xiu for so many years and knows him well. If the Empress Dowager and her cousin the Emperor don't help her this time, she will be really finished.

"You, you, how can I help you?" The Queen Mother still looked very angry.

"Just help me find someone to convict. Anyway, Su Man and those two bastards weren't injured, let alone dead, right? You must have a way to help me, right?"

"Yanran." The emperor shouted, "What is going on? Please explain it clearly first. If you don't explain it clearly, how can we help you? You also know that Fu Xiu is not stupid. Ordinary words can't fool him at all."

Li Yan quickly looked at the emperor again and said anxiously,

"Your Majesty, it's just like what I told you just now. I just wanted Su Man and the two bastards to disappear, but my men were too stupid! They failed. Now Su Man has been rescued by Fu Xiu, and Fu Xiu will find me soon. You must help me."

The emperor frowned and said nothing, seeming to be in great trouble.

Li Yan, who originally thought that she would be fine, began to panic again when she saw that the emperor and the empress dowager were silent.

"Yanran, this matter is very troublesome." The emperor sighed heavily, "You also know what kind of person Fu Xiu is. It may not be easy to let it go."

Li Yan's face turned pale.

"No! No, no!" Li Yan suddenly became excited again, "Cousin Emperor, Aunt Queen Mother, there must be a way! There must be a way! Because besides my people, there were some people in black at that time. Those people in black are the biggest masterminds behind the scenes!"

The Queen Mother and the Emperor's eyes became even colder after hearing her words.

However, she didn't realize anything yet. Instead, she thought she had found a life-saving piece of driftwood and kept talking.

"My spies reported that those men in black were deadly and wanted to harm Su Man and the two bastards! All my men have died long ago, so my cousin the Emperor and my aunt the Empress Dowager, you just need to put the blame on those men in black and everything will be fine!"

The emperor looked at her with cold eyes.

"You just said that all the faults should be put on those men in black?"

"Yes... yes." Li Yan was frightened by the emperor's eyes at this time, but still nodded.

She didn't understand why her cousin the emperor looked at her like that.

"Anyway...anyway, those men in black deserve to die too. If they can be used as stepping stones, then they have a use, right?"

The more she talked about it, the more feasible it seemed to her, but the emperor's eyes became increasingly colder.
