A dream ends life

Yu Luohan stretched out his hand and grabbed Su Ci's neck, slowly tightening his fingers.

Chunshui rushed forward to pry his hands apart, but Yu Luohan waved his hand and threw them away. Chunshui's eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness immediately.

He looked at Su Ci with bloodshot eyes, wanting to hear her beg for mercy.

Su Ci said nothing, so he exerted force on his hand, "What do you want that thing for? Tell me!"

Su Ci tried hard to shock herself and looked him in the eye.

Yu Luohan reduced his strength again, his fingertips almost digging into her neck, and Su Ci couldn't make any sound at all.

She didn't have the strength to resist him. She felt her limbs go weak and her body went limp like mud.

Since I can't resist, I simply don't struggle. For a person who has nothing to worry about, death is not a terrible thing.

Unfortunately, she also wanted to do the same to Luo Han, but unfortunately, she no longer had the chance!

Slowly close your eyes and count silently in your mind.

She was gambling, gambling whether God would take her life!

The moment she closed her eyes, Yu Luohan panicked and withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

"Aci! Aci!" Yu Luohan looked at Su Ci who was lying on the ground, his voice trembling slightly.

He hurriedly helped her up, poured his inner strength into his palms, and carried her over.

After a while, a sound came out of Su Ci's throat and he slowly began to breathe.

Yu Luohan collapsed weakly on the ground, then hugged her and held her in his arms.

The joy of regaining what was lost washed away the anger in my heart, and I just felt how great it was that she was alive!

He saw her being stabbed once, and he felt despair at the time. Later, it became his nightmare and he would recall it inadvertently.

Now that he saw Su Ci on the verge of death, he realized how important she was to him! He couldn't bear to see her die!

Su Ci opened her eyes and found herself wrapped by Yu Luohan, without any strength left.

With a smile on her lips, she is not dead! She won the bet!

……

Yu Luohan did not sign, and Xu did not come to see Su Ci again.

I only heard that Yu Luohan went to a gambling house, and the matter between the Xu family and his son came to nothing.

Then the gambling house disappeared in Shangjing City.

Su Ci frowned after knowing this. Didn't Yu Luohan care about his reputation? He actually went to the gambling house in person. Wasn't he afraid that the censors would come out to target him?

Sure enough, on the day before Gong Yan's death, those in the court who were targeting Yu Luohan came to the court to report him.

The Taifu is the emperor's teacher, but he has an immoral family, allows his relatives to oppress the people, and has no personal morals, so he is unworthy of being the emperor's teacher!

People in gambling houses are also ordinary people, there is nothing wrong with that!

Yu Luohan remained unmoved, and his officials retorted harshly, almost coming to a fight in the court.

"Akan! You are too impulsive! Do you know how much this will affect you? How can you be so reckless!"

Wu Peiyi met Yu Luohan in Ci'an Palace and was very dissatisfied with his behavior.

Yu Luohan remained silent. He knew that he was impulsive, but he would never let Su Ci leave her because of Xu Zhinian and his son. Su Ci could only be his wife!

Seeing his sullen face, Wu Peiyi couldn't help but slow down her tone. She walked closer to him, leaned her head on his chest, and put her arms around his waist.

Yu Luohan also relaxed his expression, tried his best to look okay, and put his hands on Wu Peiyi's shoulders.

"Not next time, no, there won't be a next time"

Wu Peiyi nodded gently after hearing this and wanted to hug him tighter, but Yu Luohan gently pushed her away, "How are the preparations for the palace banquet going?"

Wu Peiyi said: "Everything is ready, and there will definitely be gains tomorrow night."

The national treasury was empty and her plan to rebuild Ci'an Palace was put on hold. Her father, Marquis Zhongyong, gave her an idea.

A palace banquet was held, and all officials above the fourth rank and their families had to attend. The purpose was to raise funds for charity under the pretext of building dams on the Xunjiang River, and to fleece the ministers.

The money raised was used to build dikes and dams, and the money from the national treasury that replaced the dikes was used to build Ci'an Palace. What a perfect solution!

Wu Peiyi readily agreed. This method was really good. Among the officials she knew, many were from prominent families with deep-rooted wealth, and many of them made a lot of money from their family businesses. The wealth of these people's family assets was no less than that of the national treasury.

The battle for succession has just ended, and it is a time when everything needs to be rebuilt. If we want to fill the national treasury, relying solely on excessive taxes and levies will not quench our immediate thirst, and these aristocratic families are the fat sheep!

As long as it is handled well, maybe all the problems of the six departments can be solved at once.

"Ahan! Remember to let that village woman set an example. She is your wife, and she must earn enough face for you!"

Wu Peiyi told Yu Luohan that Su Ci had money, and as long as she could set a good example, she could build Ci'an Palace by herself.

Yu Luohan's body stiffened, his voice hoarse, "I'll tell her the stakes!"

Wu Peiyi smiled.

Yu Luohan: "Don't neglect the Grand Princess and Prince Jia."

Wu Peiyi curled her lips and said, "The invitations to those two are just a courtesy. They didn't come to the birthday party last time, and they probably won't come this time either. You don't have to worry too much."

Yu Luohan nodded. Those two were pure-hearted and arrogant. It was really unworthy for them to attend Wu Peiyi's birthday party.

I guess he won’t show me the honor this time.

Tufu's Mansion

After Xu and Yu Luohan parted on bad terms, she bore a grudge against Su Ci.

If it weren't for her, her son wouldn't have separated from her, and wouldn't have lost his temper and confronted his own mother. It's all because of the Su family!

He became angry and called the cook from the main kitchen.

"who are you?"

Looking at the unfamiliar face in front of her, Xu was stunned.

The cook replied respectfully: "I am Li! I am the new cook. What can I do for you, old lady?"

Xu: "Where's Granny Sun?"

The cook was confused and shook her head, saying, "Since I came to the kitchen, I have never seen a maid named Sun."

Wow!

Xu dropped the teacup in her hand, feeling somewhat uneasy. How could there be no one with the surname Sun? Could it be that Su Ci discovered something? "

He waved Li away and paced around the room.

After thinking it over, she took what she had written that day and went to find Su Ci.

He smiled at Su Ci with a mocking look on his face, raised his hand to hold up the petition, and tore it to pieces in front of her!

"Don't even think about leaving the Yu Mansion in your lifetime. If you know what's best for you, be smart and hand over your shop to me. I will not treat you unfairly!"

Su Ci smiled, ignored her, and took out two sheets of paper from a notebook and gave them to her.

Xu didn't understand what was going on, so he picked it up and glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed drastically!

He glanced at Su Ci and quickly tore the paper into pieces!

"You think you can control me like this? Don't even think about it!"

Su Ci laughed again, this time with a much more sincere smile, "Chun Shui!"

Chunshui heard the shouting, took out a tray from the cabinet and came to Xu.

Before Xu could figure out the situation, Su Ci's voice rang out.

"The old lady has such a bad taste that she actually likes to play like this. These are all here, and the old lady just tears them up for fun"!

When Xu saw what was on the tray, she trembled all over and looked at Su Ci hatefully.

"You did it on purpose, you vicious woman, why didn't I discover your true face earlier!"

Looking at the stack of papers on the tray, Xu gritted her teeth. Only now did she realize that Su Ci in her eyes was only in her eyes!
