Shengjing Noble

Su Lanyin refused decisively, with a sincere and firm attitude.

"Your Majesty, my lifelong wish is to cure my elder brother and let him realize his ideals and ambitions. Family members are always the most important to me."

"As for who to marry in the future, it depends on fate and cannot be forced. Moreover, marrying into a wealthy family does not necessarily mean a smooth life. If I meet the person I love and we respect each other, even if he is a commoner, I will be happy with him."

The emperor showed admiration in his eyes, nodded and praised: "I didn't expect that you have such vision and mind at such a young age. For your thoughtfulness, I agree to give you, brother, a chance."

Su Lanyin was overjoyed and kowtowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. On behalf of my elder brother, I thank the Emperor!"

"Don't be too hasty to thank me yet."

"Ah? Your Majesty, you can't go back on your word, right?" She looked worried.

"I have spoken my mind, how could I go back on my word? If your elder brother can recover and successfully pass the exam to serve the country, it will be a good thing for the Great Sheng Dynasty, so I allow you to propose another reward for yourself."

The emperor's eyes were full of kindness, which moved Su Lanyin so much that she was so excited that she was incoherent for a moment.

"Your Majesty... You really are the best person in the world! No, no, you are the Son of Heaven, the most wise and powerful emperor in history!"

Su Lanyin's flattery came from the bottom of her heart, which made the emperor very happy, and he couldn't help but pat her on the head.

"You little girl, I think you are very good. You can come to the palace more often to accompany my third princess in the future."

"Ah?" The smile on her face froze suddenly. She couldn't help but think of what the third princess did behind the Merlin rockery, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

Asking her to play with the third princess, is it a reward or a punishment?

Seeing her hesitation, the emperor asked, "Why? You don't want to?"

Su Lanyin quickly nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, I am willing!"

She was extremely depressed, and although she smiled on the outside, she was not happy on the inside!

"Well, tell me what reward you want?"

Su Lanyin asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, I can't think of anything right now. Can I keep the reward and ask you for it later when I remember it?"

"Are you playing tricks on me?"

"No, I have enough food and clothing, and I also have enough gold and silver, so I really can't think of anything I want for the time being."

It’s not that she couldn’t think of it, but she knew that this opportunity was hard to come by. Wouldn’t it be a waste if she used it carelessly?

The emperor was in a good mood and didn't bother with her, so he took off a small jade pendant from his waist.

"Take this, and when you think of a reward, tell me."

Su Lanyin took it in both hands and thanked him again as if he had found a treasure.

In the end, the emperor gave her some gold, silver and jewelry. Although it was not much, it was enough to make the Su family's villains dumbfounded.

The mother and daughter first sent Lu Yichen back to the Lu family's mansion in Shengjing, and then returned to the Su family.

When the Su family saw that they were sent back unharmed and with many rewards by the eunuch in the palace, everyone in the Su family dropped their jaws.

Su Yongcheng couldn't believe it: "Why are you back?"

Lu Wanjun's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and she asked coldly, "Does my husband mean that we are sure that we won't be able to come back from the palace this time?"

The question was like a thorn in his throat. He was unable to respond for a moment and was extremely shocked.

Liu Ruyan was the first to react and hurried forward to explain: "My husband was worried about you and said the wrong thing."

Lu Wanjun ignored him and said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, my husband. The emperor found out the truth and cleared the Lu family's name. He also rewarded us with many things."

After saying that, Eunuch Liu stepped forward, and the young eunuchs behind him came in carrying various rewards.

Su Lanyin took out her purse and stuffed it into the pocket of Eunuch Liu, saying politely, "I'm sorry to bother you to make this trip. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."

Eunuch Liu took the purse and put it into his sleeve, nodding with appreciation in his eyes: "We are also acting on the orders of the emperor. Miss Su has received the emperor's reward this time, and she will have a bright future in the future."

"Thanks for your kind words, eunuch. I'll send you off."

"No need to bother, Miss Su, please stay."

After saying this, Eunuch Liu turned around and left the Su family with the people in the palace.

Su Yongcheng didn't understand what was going on, so he hurried forward to ask, "What on earth is going on? Didn't the emperor want to exterminate the entire Lu family?"

If the Lu family loses power, Lu Wanjun will be an orphan without a mother's family, and her dowry will be at the disposal of the Su family, right?

But now, not only did the Lu family escape unscathed, they also received rewards from the emperor, and even allowed Su Lanyin to steal the show in front of the emperor.

Damn it!

If his Lan Xin had not been in a coma, she would definitely have won the emperor's favor, and it would have been no problem for her to marry into a wealthy family.

Lu Wanjun looked at their frustrated faces and felt very happy. She deliberately said, "My Lanyin is so lucky. Not only did she receive a reward from the emperor, but she also pleaded for her elder brother. The emperor promised that if Shengyan could recover, he would let him take the exam again!"

"what!"

Liu Ruyan's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

Su Yongcheng frowned and angrily scolded: "Nonsense! How can you let her talk nonsense in front of the emperor?"

"It wasn't me who asked Yinyin to say that. It was the Emperor who promised to fulfill Yinyin's wish."

"What did you say?"

Su Yongcheng suddenly became furious and glared at Su Lanyin with hatred in his eyes.

"You...you actually wasted such a rare opportunity to plead for a useless person? Do you still have the Su family in your eyes? And me, your father!"

That is a gift from the Emperor. If we could get him a position, wouldn't he have a bright future?

This rebellious girl was born to be her nemesis!

Su Lanyin pouted in grievance and asked innocently, "It is precisely because I care about the Su family that I plead for my elder brother. He is the eldest son of the Su family. If he can have a good future, it will be a great honor for my father, right?"

"You idiot! He is a useless person, how can he have a future? You...you might as well ask for a favor for Shenghao!" Su Yongcheng gritted his teeth in disappointment.

Lu Wanjun was immediately annoyed when she heard this, and stepped forward to question, "What do you mean? Shengyan is also your biological son, how can you be so partial to him?"

"So what if he's your biological son? He's a concubine's son, and he's disabled, so what's the use of his talent? How can he help the Su family? Look at the four children you taught, each one is dumber than the other, and they can't even be half as smart and clever as the legitimate children!"

Su Yongcheng cursed angrily.

Su Lanyin knew that his defense had been broken. After all, if he could be given such a good opportunity, he would definitely step on her and her daughter to rise to the top.

In her previous life, my mother spent money and effort to curry favor with people everywhere. She encountered obstacles everywhere but still tried to please them everywhere. She gave up her dignity to pave the way for Su Yongcheng and let him become the Taifu!

In the end, he was disgraced and died without a burial place.

In this life, these ungrateful people from the Su family will never get ahead again!

Lu Wanjun was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but on second thought, she endured it.
