A dream ends life

There was a vacuum zone around Su Ci. Mei Yizhin winked at her and asked her to look at the two girls beside Princess Changle.

Princess Changle was seen whispering with the girl in lavender clothes, with her head tilted. The key was that she was talking, but it was interesting to stare at her.

The girl looked at her with disdain in her eyes, and nodded slightly as she listened to Princess Changle's words.

Mei Yizhen said without hesitation: "Why do you deserve so much hate? Look at all these people. What have you done to anger the heavens and the people?"

Su Ci narrowed her eyes. She never offended anyone and thought she had no enemies. However, she was Yu Luohan's wife, which was her original sin!

Yu Luohan is very popular now, and she has no support from her mother's family, which makes these people have inappropriate thoughts.

It’s easy to guess what that girl is thinking. She has a crush on Yu Luohan and therefore has ill intentions towards her!

Thinking about it this way, it makes sense why Princess Changle would pick on her. No wonder she was so malicious towards her.

Princess Changle has a prince consort. She had never thought about it in this way before. It turns out that it was for this girl.

Su Ci felt calm, as there were many people who had the same idea. She didn't mind having one more. As long as no one was stupid enough to cause trouble for her, she had no objection!

As time went by, the families of all officials gathered in Ci'an Palace. Some female relatives of lower-ranking officials also came in to pay their respects to the empress dowager and then went to the side hall.

There were people inside and outside the hall, and the ice basin in the room gradually became useless.

Wu Peiyi asked her family members to find a place to cool off, and she took the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and the wife of the Crown Prince into the inner hall.

The ladies gathered in twos and threes and each went to find a place to enjoy the cool air.

Su Ci also walked out of the hall, walking aimlessly in search of a cool place.

Mei Yizhen came forward and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with the wife of the loyal and brave marquis?"

The expression on the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's face, as if she wanted to kill Su Ci, was so wonderful.

Su Ci: "The Wu family originated from Qiannan, and was an unknown second-rate family. At that time, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was still a minor local official, and this person was quite good at scheming..."

The woman he was originally betrothed to was the elder sister of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, the legitimate daughter of her father's first wife.

When she got married, her husband was replaced by the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Her elder sister was bedridden and was dying. Not only did her fiancé become her brother-in-law, but the dowry left by her mother also became her sister's.

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery got married with two dowries. After marriage, the couple loved each other very much. The eldest sister's health recovered without any medicine, and she was married off to a poor scholar who was engaged to her younger sister.

As for the inside story, those who understand will understand.

No matter how innocent the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and his wife appeared, one had no choice but to marry his sister-in-law, and the other had no choice but to marry his brother-in-law, and they were both people who were thinking about the overall situation.

As vested interests, the two of them say all the nice things and do all the bad things. They are really a perfect match.

As a married woman, Wu Peiyi can shamelessly hang out with Yu Luohan. It must be because of her roots.

Mei Yizhen was shocked. There are so many melodramas in the mansion! If you want to watch the melons, you have to watch here!

The two of them strolled leisurely and came to a pavilion by the water not far from the Imperial Garden to rest.

There were many young men from aristocratic families standing on the arch bridge in front, and a little further away was a group of elegantly dressed noble ladies. The two groups were facing each other from a distance, and there was no connection between them, and yet they were related to each other everywhere.

Mei Yizhen and Su Ci sat together and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them.

"It's great to be young!"

Su Ci looked at her speechlessly. Why did her breath smell like tea?

Suddenly, Mei Yizhin's eyes locked on a person on the bridge.

"Wu Peilian?"

Su Ci also looked over. There were about ten people on the bridge, and he had no idea who they were.

"That, the man in blue who walked down!" Mei stared at the front.

There was indeed a man in blue following a eunuch down the bridge, and judging from the direction they were heading, they should be heading to Ci'an Palace.

The man in blue was thin, tall but not straight, with his body slightly leaning forward and his waist hunched. He was too far away to see his features clearly, but one could vaguely tell that he was a handsome man.

Su Ci did not comment and no longer had the mood to stay here. He estimated the time and it was almost the end of the Si hour, which was around eleven o'clock.

He stood up and walked slowly towards the Imperial Garden.

Many ministers had already arrived in the Imperial Garden and were gathered together talking in low voices.

Men and women sit together at today's palace banquet. Each official can sit at the same table with his or her family. The long table in front can seat two people, and behind them are the children who followed into the palace. There is one table for men and one table for women.

The Queen Mother, Yu Luohan and the little emperor had not arrived yet. Everyone was standing aside chatting. When they saw Su Ci coming, they all looked up at her.

A fat middle-aged man stared at Su Ci with unfriendly eyes, which seemed to be filled with poison.

Su Ci raised her eyebrows. She knew this man, the Loyal and Brave Marquis Wu Wenhua, Wu Peiyi's father!

He is of medium build, not tall, with a round face without edges, thin lips, a pair of squinting eyes, and a smile on his face. At first glance, he looks like a smiling Buddha.

But the calculations in his eyes clearly told her that this man was a scheming villain.

Su Ci met his gaze without dodging or evading, and the two of them stared at each other from a distance.

"Mrs. Su is really well behaved. She can remain calm in front of a man from another world. Master Yu really married a good wife."

Su Ci was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Loyal and Brave Marquis is not bad, even the way he speaks is so different. Maybe you don't know that you are the first person who calls me the wife of the Grand Tutor to my face. I will take it as a compliment to me."

Marquis Zhongyong's face turned dark, but Su Ci didn't see it. This man was too dark. He was obviously a court official, but he looked like a farmer. It was really unique.

"Humph! So what if you have a wife? You should be able to enjoy this blessing. I'm afraid that for some people, this blessing is too great to be contained, and they may even shorten their lifespan."

The wife of Marquis Zhongyong told him what happened in Ci'an Palace just now. This woman is looking for death!

Su Ci's eyes were sharp: "Good fortune is something you give yourself, not something you get from others. For those parasites who rely on others to get to the top, once no one gives them charity, it's not just a matter of shortening their lifespans."

"Madam Su! This is the imperial palace, not a place where you can act wildly. Please be careful with your words!" The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery said sternly.

A lady next to him immediately echoed, "How can the wife of the Grand Tutor be so vulgar? You are making enemies for him everywhere. How will he survive in the court in the future?"

A gorgeous woman said, "That's right! A man with a virtuous wife will not get into trouble. It is an eternal truth to marry a virtuous wife!"

Another woman said, "A village woman should have the consciousness of a village woman. In an occasion like this, she should stay at home. I don't know what she is doing out here!"

"What can I do? I'm here to embarrass Master Taifu! People should know their own identities. Don't try to get involved in a circle that's not yours, or you'll bring shame upon yourself!"

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery took the lead in ridiculing Su Ci and calling him worthless, and she finally felt relieved!

The women around her were all her good friends, so how could they let her have an easy time? Seeing Su Ci being besieged, she felt so proud in her heart.

Su Ci looked at the faces of the people in front of him, changed his just tyrannical attitude, and his eyes slowly turned red!
