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

Su Man and Fu Xiu didn't say anything, and this look made the emperor's eyes look even more hateful.

"I wonder why the emperor is here?" Fu Xiu said in a cold voice.

There was a hint of guilt on the emperor's face.

"I heard that Su Man encountered an assassin when she was out with her two children today, so I asked someone to immediately investigate what happened. Someone actually dared to kill the family of an official appointed by the court. This is absolutely intolerable."

When Su Man heard these words, there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

If this emperor were to act in modern times, he would definitely win a Best Actress award.

Fu Xiu's face was cold, as if he had thought of it a long time ago.

"As a result, before my people have investigated thoroughly, Yanran came to find me and the Queen Mother."

Su Man raised her eyebrows and looked straight at the emperor, wanting to see what he would say next.

But the moment she saw the coffin, she knew what the consequence would be. She just wanted to know what the emperor would do next.

The emperor ignored Su Man's gaze and continued,

"Yanran came to me and the Queen Mother, and knelt down and asked me and the Queen Mother to save her. We didn't understand what she had done to make me and the Queen Mother save her. After further questioning, she stammered and told us that she attacked Su Man and the two children because she was jealous of Su Man.

I have always known Yanran's feelings for Fu Xiu, but I didn't expect her to do such a wrong thing, which disappointed me and the Queen Mother so much. She told me and the Queen Mother that she had already regretted it and shouldn't have done such a dirty thing, but it had already happened.

Although she is my cousin, I cannot ignore the law and protect her, so I persuaded her to come to you to admit her mistake and apologize. I said that as long as she apologizes, you two will definitely forgive her, and she will only be punished, and I will still keep her alive, but I never thought..."

When the emperor said this, he sighed heavily again.

"But I never thought that she would not listen to me. She returned to her bedroom, wrote a letter and committed suicide by taking poison. She also asked me to bring her body to you to apologize, saying that she was sorry for you. It was because she liked Fu Xiu too much that she had such a bad idea in her mind.

Although I hate what she did, she is my sister who grew up with me, and I still have to help her fulfill her last wish. So I can only bring her body here, in this coffin. Now the Queen Mother knows about this and is bedridden. Now I only ask you to forgive Yanran, otherwise Yanran will die with regrets. "

His face was full of hatred and guilt, but he also felt a little reluctant to leave Li Yan.

If Su Man hadn't already known what kind of person the emperor was, she would probably have been deceived by this emotional expression.

Her eyes flickered slightly. The emperor's excuses and reasons were so perfect that no one could find fault with them.

Seeing that the two were silent, the Emperor spoke again,

"Forget it. I understand that you two are unwilling to forgive Yanran. But this is Yanran's last wish. I have made this trip to help her fulfill her last wish. In this case, I will take Yanran back and bury her properly."

"Your Majesty." Su Man suddenly spoke up, "You said, Princess Yanran is in the coffin? I wonder if I can go and take a look? Although this matter is indeed her fault and she deserves to die, I still want to take a look. What do you think?"

She looked calm, as if she didn't feel it was wrong to say in front of the emperor that Li Yan deserved to die.

The emperor has long known that Su Man is not a simple person, and she is very good at talking.

What he didn't expect was that even though Li Yan was dead, Su Man had no sympathy at all. She was even afraid that Li Yan was not dead yet and she had to see it with her own eyes.

He dropped his eyes and sighed.

"Of course. What Yanran wants most is to be forgiven by you. Now you go and see her, and it will be good for her to go on her last journey."

Su Man nodded slightly and turned her head to look at Fu Xiu beside her.

She really wanted to know whether Li Yan was dead or not. She was not a saint. When facing an enemy who wanted to kill her, she would of course have to see the end with her own eyes before she could feel at ease.

Fu Xiu nodded to her and said softly,

"I'll go with you to see it."

"Okay." Su Man smiled slightly, then looked down at the two children.

"You two wait here for Daddy and Mommy, we'll go take a look there and come back."

Both children were a little hesitant.

"Mom, can we go together? We can protect you." Xiaobao said.

Although they are young, they are also afraid that something might happen to their father and mother.

"No, there are dirty things there. You are still children, you can't look at them randomly, otherwise you will be scared awake at night."

Su Man rejected the two children with a serious face.

Even in front of the emperor, she dared to say the three words "dirty thing" directly.

Anyway, there would be no more peace for a few days, so she was too lazy to swallow her anger.

"Be obedient." Fu Xiu also said.

The two children finally nodded obediently.

Su Man and Fu Xiu walked towards the coffin together.

The emperor also withdrew his gaze from the two children.

These two bastards are so obedient to Fu Xiu and Su Man, it seems that they are definitely not his children.

In that case, he had nothing to feel guilty about when he took action.

Su Man and Fu Xiu came to the side of the coffin, and the royal guards next to them reached out and opened the coffin, revealing the person lying inside.

The person inside was indeed Li Yan, and even her clothes were the same ones Su Man saw.

It is really ironic to see Li Yan, who was so arrogant during the day, lying in a coffin now, and being killed by her own cousin and aunt.

Su Man just felt irony, and didn't feel the slightest bit of pity or pity. After all, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.

If Li Yan had succeeded at that time, the person lying in the coffin now would be her, and even her two children.

Therefore, she will not be soft-hearted or merciful.

Li Yan's lips were black, and it looked like she had died of poisoning, but they all knew whether it was suicide or homicide.

After confirming that the dead person was Li Yan, the two walked back.

When the emperor saw them coming, the emotions in his eyes quickly disappeared, and he just said with some discomfort,

"Since you have already seen it, I will take Yanran back."

Fu Xiu didn't say anything, but Su Man nodded.

Fu Xiu's arrogance once again deepened the emperor's hatred.

Wait a little longer, in a few days, he will make Fu Xiu lie on the ground and beg for mercy like a dog!

Watching the emperor turn and leave, Su Man suddenly thought of something and stopped him.

"emperor."

The emperor paused, turned around and looked at Su Man with some confusion on his face.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"No, I just want to ask you, did you only catch Li Yan?" She had a faint smile on her face.

"It seems that there were two groups of people who attacked me at that time. Whether it was their clothes or their skills, they were completely different. I wonder if you have caught the others?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes. He didn’t know what Su Man meant. Was she deliberately testing him?

"Those men in black are also Yanran's subordinates. You may not know that Yanran started training her own guards two years ago. Those men in black were trained by her, so you don't have to worry about the others."

"Really?" Su Man's smile deepened. "Then I'll really trouble the emperor to make this trip for Li Yan. Since all those who should die are dead, we really have nothing to worry about."

The emperor slowly clenched his hands from his sleeves into fists.

The damned one? Are you referring to him?

"Yes, there is really nothing to worry about. In that case, I will go ahead."

"Okay." Su Man kept looking at him with a smile.

The emperor turned around and got on the carriage, and left with a team of royal guards.

The smile on Su Man's face also turned into irony.

Fu Xiu next to her held her hand and said softly,

"Let's go, go back."

Su Man nodded, then took the two children in.

When Wei Yan and the others saw the family of four coming back, they immediately couldn't wait to ask them.

Su Man didn't keep their curiosity a secret and directly told them what the emperor said and what was happening outside.

"He really is willing to do it." Wei Yan sneered, "After all, we grew up together, and he poisoned us to death. How can such a cold-blooded person be worthy of being the emperor?

The old woman usually loves Li Yan very much, but she showed her true colors at the critical moment. Her love was just a preparation for a situation like today."

Su Man was silent for a moment. In fact, she didn't feel surprised at all.

The emperor could even kill his own wife and two children, so what is a mere cousin now?

But she couldn't say these words now, not only because she was afraid of making Fu Xiu sad, but also because she was afraid that the two children would find out.

"Oh no! Now that we have a scapegoat, there is nothing we can do even if we are angry. Let's just focus on preparing for the wedding. It's only two days away, and we need to dress up with red silk and other things."

Old man Fan said excitedly, if he didn't change the subject, the atmosphere would become heavy for who knows when.

Luo Yun and Uncle Fu also began to agree. They also felt that it was indeed time to get married.

Anyway, they have prepared everything, now it's just a matter of time.

The most important thing at the moment is to let Su Man and Fu Xiu get married.

Thinking about getting married, Su Man raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She wanted to look up at Fu Xiu, but found that Fu Xiu was looking at her.

She blinked at Fu Xiu, and they both understood each other tacitly.

Next, the general's mansion began to be decorated in a festive manner, and even the stone lions at the door were hung with big red flowers.

Su Man became the most boring person.

But the next day after the emperor brought the coffin over, a lot of gossip about Su Man and Fu Xiu appeared in the city.

Not only did some people say that Su Man and Fu Xiu had a child out of wedlock and had an affair without a matchmaker, they also said that Su Man was shameless and not a decent woman.

He also said that Su Man was a beast in human form and was extremely vicious at heart.

As for why Su Man is said to be a beast in human form and extremely vicious, it is entirely because some people say that Princess Yanran's death was caused by Su Man.

It is said that Princess Yanran was forced to commit suicide by taking poison just because she loved General Fu.

Because Su Man did not go out, she learned all these words from Wei Yan.

After hearing this, she was not angry, but couldn't help laughing.

She never expected that something that she had only seen on TV or even in novels before would now happen to her.

When Wei Yan and the two children saw that she was still smiling, they immediately became furious.

Especially Wei Yan, who spoke directly.

"You are still laughing? Do you know what is happening to you now? Everyone is saying that you are a beast in human form! They are all calling you a vicious woman! Are you mad as hell?"

"They are so mean! How can they say that about my mother! I'm going to settle the score with them!" Xiaobao was so angry that his face turned red.

"Daddy?" Dabao looked at Fu Xiu.

Because he knew that only his father could solve this problem, and they were too young to do anything.

Fu Xiu's face was gloomy at this time. It was obvious that he was furious because of the rumors from the people outside.

But when he saw Su Man smiling, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will handle it, don't worry." He held Su Man's hand.

I thought Su Man would laugh, but she was really mad because of what Wei Yan said.

Su Man looked at the faces of the few people and realized that her smile had frightened them, so she quickly restrained her smile and said,

"I'm laughing because someone is getting impatient. We all know who spread these rumors, and it proves that he is guilty, panicked, and scared. So why can't we be happy? Right?"

Su Man was not affected by these things at all. She was not actually hurt anyway, so what was there to be afraid of?

She squeezed Fu Xiu's hand and said, "Be patient and don't get angry so easily. It's easy to get old, and you won't look good when you get old."

Even Fu Xiu felt helpless when he heard Su Man's words.

"Is now the time to talk about this?"

Su Man chuckled and did not answer him, but asked him a question.

"Tell me, if we were to face that so-called emperor now, would he attack us?"

"No, because he doesn't dare." Fu Xiu said, "He doesn't have the strength to do so now, because he needs to wait for his uncle, which may take a few days."

Hearing this, Su Man smiled slyly.

"In that case, I have a solution."

After hearing what she said, Wei Yan was not as angry as before, and instead became a little more curious.

"What can you do?"

The two children also looked at Su Man.

At this time, Su Man had a fox-like smile on her face.

"Doesn't he want to see me ruined? In that case, let's treat him in his own way and ruin his reputation. Fu Xiu, do you want to help your sister get justice?"

Fu Xiu hummed lightly, and when he heard that she also called him sister, his heart softened a little.

"Wei Yan, go find some people for me who I can trust, and have them all wait for me in the back garden. I have something to tell them later."

Wei Yan was very curious about what she was going to do, so he started preparing immediately.
