Shengjing Noble
Chapter 3 Raising troops to investigate crimes
In the end, her mother was drowned in a pig cage and was branded as an adulterous woman even after her death. She was not even worthy of being buried in peace and her ashes were burned to ashes and scattered into the river.
Su Yongcheng and Liu Ruyan became a fairy couple with high moral character and pure character in the eyes of the world.
In this life, she will never let her mother sacrifice herself for a group of ungrateful people again.
She wanted to see, without her mother, whether the Su family could still be as prosperous as in the previous life!
……
The night wind blows in Suiyue Pavilion, and the fragrance of agarwood lingers in the warm room.
Behind the beaded curtain, the girl leaned on the coffee table with one hand supporting her chin, and with the other slender hand she held a golden incense spoon, gently stirring the jade incense burner.
The flawless white base coat was lifted up and smoothed down layer by layer, with a calm and indifferent attitude throughout the process.
Cuizhu pushed the door open and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw her own girl.
In the past, I only thought that the Sixth Miss had delicate features and pretty eyes, but now, she suddenly had a bit more gentleness and elegance that penetrated deep into her bones, as if she had been reborn in an instant.
"Girl, the letter you asked me to deliver has been given to the courier."
Su Lanyin's lowered eyelids moved slightly, and when she looked up, she revealed a pair of captivating eyes. There seemed to be pearly light flashing in them, but they were calm and extremely cold.
"How many days?"
"It will probably be delivered to Quanzhou Lu Mansion in seven days."
"Seven days..."
She tapped lightly with her delicate fingertips, and smiled faintly with her red lips: "Fortunately, we made it in time."
The spices in the prosperous dynasty had always been monopolized by her maternal family.
The Lu family is one of the richest families in the world today, with countless assets and thousands of slaves in their home.
Moreover, the Lu family has been engaged in foreign trade for hundreds of years. They not only own a large number of ships, but also a cargo ship with a carrying capacity of more than 200 tons.
Nearly a dozen kinds of precious spices traded, such as sandalwood, agarwood, and dragon incense, were only used by the royal family.
In the previous life, there was a problem with the ambergris that the Lu family had newly supplied this year. It was caused by someone secretly tampering with it.
A small amount of labdanum, which has a smell very similar to ambergris, is added to it.
Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor hated wild plants (roses) the most, and labdanum belongs to the genus Cistus.
The emperor used ambergris and developed an eczema. The Dali Temple conducted a thorough investigation and ultimately all the evidence pointed to the Lu family.
My maternal grandfather's family attempted to kill the king and were all executed. Even the newborn baby in my uncle's family did not escape.
Fortunately, Lu Wanjun severed ties with the Lu family in order to marry Su Yongcheng, otherwise she would have been implicated as well.
Although my grandfather was angry about my mother's secret marriage, he was still thinking about his daughter. The dowry he gave her was almost the same as that of a princess, only more or less.
After the Lu family was wiped out, Lu Wanjun fell seriously ill and her health has been getting worse since then.
Having completely lost the support of her natal family, the Lu family became even more unscrupulous in their oppression of her, and even blatantly tried to seize her dowry!
Su Lanyin calculated the time and found that she was reborn exactly one month before the incident of the Lu family.
The tragic fate has not yet begun, there is still time for everything!
She hoped that her grandfather would see her letter and turn the situation around.
She lit the lotus-shaped agarwood with her bare hands and gently covered the incense burner. Lu Wanjun also walked in at this time.
"Yinyin, how are you? Are you feeling better? Mother has made some ginger soup for you to drink. Don't worry, it doesn't contain any ginseng or deer antlers, just the simplest ones. You always say that you don't like your mother's extravagance and waste, which makes you look vulgar. Mother promises that she will change in the future."
She carefully placed the small bowl made of gold and jade on the table, worry between her brows, and she was so nervous that she swallowed her saliva.
Su Lanyin looked up at her and felt extremely guilty.
In her previous life, under Liu Ruyan's brainwashing, she only thought that Lu's taste in wearing gold and silver was vulgar, so she was always full of disgust.
Only at this moment did she finally understand that her mother wanted to send all the treasures in the world to her.
Su Lanyin sighed, stood up and bowed deeply to her.
Lu Wanjun was stunned and hurried forward to help her: "Yinyin, what happened to you? Get up quickly."
"Mother, I was deceived by others in the past and always kept my distance from you. I have let you suffer these years. From now on, I will help you solve your problems and will never let anyone bully you again."
Just a few words made people feel warm inside. Lu Wanjun was flattered and moved to tears.
Although she had assets given by her mother's family, she had worked hard for so many years but still could not get any respect from the Su family.
Her mother-in-law disliked her because of her merchant family background, her husband disliked her for being money-minded and inconsiderate, and even her children were unwilling to get close to her.
Over the years, she pretended to be strong on the surface, but her heart was still filled with loneliness. When the night was quiet, her tears had already flowed like a river.
"Yinyin has grown up and finally understands how difficult it is for her mother..."
Su Lanyin helped her wipe her tears, thinking about how to remind her.
But after thinking about it, she felt that rebirth was too unrealistic, and she couldn't reveal it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Thinking of this, she gently tried: "Mother, my daughter is about to enter college, and I should learn to manage the household and account books. Why not..."
Her original intention was to help Lu Wanjun keep part of the dowry, but unexpectedly, a heavy golden key suddenly appeared in her hand.
"This is……"
"This is the key to my mother's private vault. All of this will be your dowry in the future, so it's better to give it to you as soon as possible."
Su Lanyin was a little surprised but more delighted.
Having a rich mother is the greatest confidence for her children!
She nodded and put the key in her arms with tears in her eyes.
"Thank you, mother. I promise to take good care of the things you left for me and never let outsiders take them away!"
Those ungrateful bastards from the Su family should never think of taking a penny from the Lu family!
Just as the mother and daughter finished their words, there was a loud knock on the door.
"Sixth Miss, the old lady ordered you to go to Wanshou Pavilion."
Lu Wanjun and Su Lanyin looked at each other, held each other's hands tightly, then stood up together and went to open the door.
Outside the door, Nanny Song saw the mother and daughter standing together. She was stunned for a moment, then showed disdain.
"Mrs. Lu is here too. That's perfect. The old lady asked you to come with her. Let's go."
Needless to say, the old lady wanted to bring Su Yaozu to justice.
The two followed Nanny Song to Wanshou Pavilion.
In the room, the old lady sat leaning back in the upper seat, holding Su Yaozu, who was wrapped in three layers of coats, in her arms.
Sitting at the bottom were the brothers Su Yongcheng and Su Yongcai, and behind them were Liu Ruyan and Li Lanxiang, who looked indignant.
When the family gathered together, each of them was as ferocious as a wolf or a tiger, as if they wanted to eat the mother and daughter alive.
As soon as she stood in the center, the old lady clapped her hands so hard that the pear wood tea table vibrated.
Over the years, she is no longer the skinny and poor girl she was in the countryside. With Lu Wanjun's dedicated service and financial support, she has become wealthy and healthy.
But even so, I can't change the harshness in my bones.
"Still not kneeling down!"
Although Lu Wanjun is strong, she is submissive to her elders. After all, she loves Su Yongcheng deeply and naturally respects his mother very much.
Over the years, only this evil mother-in-law in the Su family could scare her, so she immediately knelt down.
Su Lanyin quickly grabbed her arm and whispered, "Mom, it's not our fault, why are you kneeling?"
