The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

"Prince Yu has come to the palace to file a complaint. I don't know what the emperor's attitude is. Anyway, this time, Prince Yu and the Su family have become enemies for good."

Liu Yue'e grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate and started cracking them while talking.

"Let alone a princess, even a concubine from a noble family would not want to marry an old man with two grown-up sons. The Su family is really good at making things happen. Su Shihang has already abandoned his original wife for his future, and now he has demoted his original wife to a concubine in order to climb into the royal family. If I were the original wife, I would just kill Su Shihang." Liu Yue'e complained, "Su Shihang is at least a second-rank official in the court, how could he be so stupid? I think the court is just a makeshift team, I can do it too."

"Okay, just talk about the Su family. Why bring up the court? That's not something we ordinary people can discuss." Tong Huaqiong interrupted Liu Yue'e's criticism of the court.

Although Liu Yue'e's complaints were not without reason, Tong Huaqiong still felt that Su Shihang was not so stupid as to marry Princess Mingyue.

He can be Princess Mingyue's father.

Ever since the Crown Prince came back, the Emperor has always had a lukewarm attitude towards Prince Yu. Even if Su Shihang wanted to marry Princess Mingyue, it would be impossible for him to propose at this stage.

Wouldn't that arouse the emperor's suspicion?

This marriage was initiated by Old Lady Su.

An old mother like Mrs. Su is like the mother Yao Zu whom Tong Huaqiong met in modern times. She believes that her son is the most capable and that he is worthy of all the girls in the world. Even if a fairy is paired with her son, it would be unfair to him.

Old Madam Su really felt that although her son had reached the age of being a father-in-law, he was still very elegant among the old uncles and was more than qualified to be a match for a princess.

It's normal for an older man to have a younger wife, so why can't it be the same for his own son?

The news that Old Lady Su went to Prince Yu's mansion to propose to Princess Mingyue on behalf of her aging son spread throughout Shengjing in an instant.

Only the person involved, Su Shihang, didn't know.

The follow-up to this incident was that when Su Shihang went to court, he met Prince Yu at the palace gate. Prince Yu spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on his face, and he didn't know what was going on.

None of his colleagues who passed by spoke up for him, and they all looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"You old fool, don't you have a mirror or pee? Take a piss and look at yourself. Do you think you are worthy? You are an old cucumber painted green, and the wrinkles on your face can kill mosquitoes. How dare you look like a young girl?"

"Don't think that just because the emperor trusts you, you are so proud that you dare to set your sights on my daughter. You want to be my son-in-law, but you don't even consider whether I agree or not."

"You have tasted the sweetness of marriage twice, and you want to try it a third time. I think you are just dreaming."

Su Shihang was confused by Prince Yu's scolding.

When the court was in session, the censors and ministers who were on good terms with Prince Yu began to criticize Su Shihang.

Even Prince Yu's enemies seized the opportunity and used this incident to incriminate Su Shihang in an attempt to form a clique with Prince Yu through marriage.

After being scolded by the censor, Su Shihang realized that his mother was in trouble.

For a moment, Su Shihang didn't know whether his mother thought he was living too long or was really planning for his future.

Su Shihang was so exhausted that he almost died in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have no right to defend myself."

No matter how Su Shihang said he was ignorant of the matter, Prince Yu and other officials did not believe him, not even the emperor.

After all, Su Shihang had the stain of marrying for the sake of his career. Now that his wife was dead and his original wife was sent back to her hometown, Su Shihang began to have doubts about marriage again.

As for why he asked to marry Princess Mingyue, that's easy to understand?

Princess Mingyue has a bad reputation, and the talented young men in Shengjing would rather run away when they see Princess Mingyue. Maybe Prince Yu agreed to the marriage because of this?

Of course, Su Shihang's accomplices raised doubts. Since Su Shihang wanted to curry favor with Prince Yu's Mansion, there was no need for him to marry Princess Mingyue himself. He could just ask his youngest son Su Chengji to marry the princess.

Isn't it easier to understand the marriage of two young people?

Such a big flaw is obviously someone else's conspiracy.

The Imperial Censor sneered, "Come on, forget it. Do you think he doesn't want to ask for the princess' hand in marriage for his youngest son? Unfortunately, his youngest son is extinct. Otherwise, do you think he would be willing to risk his old health to ask for the princess' hand in marriage?"

There was no gossip in Shengjing that the Censor was not aware of.

He even knew such a secret thing as Su Chengji's extermination.

Everyone groaned in admiration.

The Golden Throne Hall instantly turned into a scene of melon-eating.

Even the emperor was eating melons about the extinction of Su Cheng's family, and asked: "Did Su Qing's second son meet with thieves or offend someone?"

The censor said, "Your Majesty, that dude is a perpetrator of all kinds of evil and is used to bullying the weak. Even a rabbit will bite when it is angry. Who knows if he angered the rabbit or the tiger?"

"Don't drag my son into this. It's slander, pure slander." Su Shihang's chest heaved.

The reputation of the Su family fell to pieces since the day of Old Lady Su’s birthday banquet.

Now there is a new scandal.

The Su family kept the fact of Su Chengji's extermination a secret, and the servants who followed him were either beaten to death or had their tongues cut off and sent to the farm.

This matter was unexpectedly revealed by the censor in court.

Su Shihang was so angry that he wanted to bite the censor.

The censor, however, did not let Su Shihang off. He accused him of failing to manage his household properly and of allowing his son to molest decent women in the street, starting with the extermination of his son's family. He also accused him of having ulterior motives in proposing to Princess Mingyue and of forming a clique.

Su Shihang's breathing stopped for a moment when he was hit.

The Prince Yu's Mansion had originally occupied a very good situation, but was indiscriminately labeled as Su Shihang's accomplice by the censor, which made them furious.

"Who knows if you two are acting on purpose." The censor sneered and took the opportunity to scold Prince Yu harshly.

The incident of Princess Mingyue riding her horse and injuring and killing civilians in Shengjing was brought up again.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yu's Mansion will never form a clique with Lord Su, and Xiyue will never marry into the Su Mansion. Xiyue already has someone she loves."

Prince Yu was unable to rebuke the censor, so he held back his anger and exposed the scandal of Zhao Xiyue falling for the married young man Gu Jingzhe in court.

This is really too embarrassing. It is embarrassing enough for a princess to fall in love with a married man.

What's more, the one he fell in love with was a country boy who had no official title.

The emperor moved from the Su family to Zhao Xiyue and asked, "Which son of a wealthy family do you like? Tell me. If he is a good match, I will grant you the marriage."

The emperor also had a headache regarding Zhao Xiyue.

After all, she often caused trouble and brought shame to the royal family.

In the spring, the new king of Mobei, who had suffered a defeat, came to Shengjing to surrender and ask for the princess in marriage. The emperor wanted to make Zhao Xiyue a princess and marry her to him.

Prince Yu and Princess Yu begged and cried, and finally the Emperor married the spoiled Princess Jing'an to Prince Mobei.

Zhao Xiyue has indeed reached the age to get married.

As long as she likes a young man who is not from aristocratic family and does not have military power, he will grant the marriage.

Prince Yu hesitated and refused to speak.

"Your Majesty, Princess Mingyue has taken a fancy to a scholar from the Imperial College named Gu Jingzhe."

The censor showed a meaningful smile on his face. There was no gossip in Shengjing that he didn't know.

If you are familiar with gossip and can unravel the gossip, you can get the inspiration to impeach ministers in the court.

Prince Yu’s eyes went dark. You are the one who talks too much.
