Mother and son join forces to abuse the scum to seize power and fight for the family property!

What Su Yuan did was a good thing! A good thing that benefits the country and the people!

She doesn't need to feel any burden, let alone blame herself.

Su Yuan leaned in Cheng Lang's arms. She didn't feel too guilty. She was never soft-hearted when dealing with her enemies.

She just felt a little sorry for Queen Lu. Seeing how grief-stricken she was, it was hard for her not to feel emotional.

Who doesn’t want his son to be a great hero?

Having a son like Sima Gong still makes her feel heartbroken.

"Husband! I'm fine." Su Yuan suddenly smiled and looked at Cheng Lang.

Cheng Lang's body stiffened. What did Su Yuan call him?

she……

She called him "husband"? This...

Cheng Lang's heart was beating wildly. Just as he was about to speak, Su Yuan kissed him and lay down. "Go to sleep! I guess we have some important things to do tomorrow."

The news of Sima Gong's serious illness could not be concealed for long. The ministers in the court had more or less influence in the palace. Like Cheng Lang, they probably knew everything that happened in the palace.

When Queen Lu wakes up tomorrow, she might summon her to the palace for questioning.

Cheng Lang looked at her tired appearance, and finally suppressed the excitement in his heart and fell asleep in her arms.

When she woke up the next day, Su Yuan looked quietly at Cheng Lang who was still sleeping soundly, and she smiled.

Cheng Lang is becoming more and more unscrupulous!

In the past, even if he stayed overnight, he would leave early, but now he has become even more casual.

Su Yuan reached out and wanted to pinch his face, but Cheng Lang suddenly opened his eyes.

Su Yuan was startled and complained in a low voice, "You're awake but still pretending to be asleep? Aren't you afraid that the servants will come in and see you?"

Cheng Lang had already figured out the rules of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion. Without Su Yuan's order, how could the maids and nannies dare to come in?

Even Li Mo would not come in and disturb Su Yuan casually, not to mention that Li Mo is now in the west courtyard to take care of her pregnancy and only comes to accompany Su Yuan occasionally.

Since Li Mo was not in the yard, no one would dare to come in and disturb Su Yuan.

Besides, it was good to be discovered by the servants. This way, he could be more open and aboveboard, and he could just ask Su Yuan to give him a legitimate status! At least let those close to her know that he was Su Yuan's husband.

"Why should I be afraid? I wish everyone in the Marquis' Mansion knew about my existence." Cheng Lang said truthfully.

When his daughter grows up, he wants her to know that he is her father!

Seeing Cheng Lang was unhappy again, Su Yuan reached out and hugged his waist, "Why are you angry? Is status really that important? I don't care about not being the wife of Duke Li, why should you care?"

Cheng Lang: ...

Isn’t it easy for Su Yuan to get the identity of Duke Li’s wife?

As soon as she divorced Gu Zhiquan, he could marry Su Yuan!

It's not that he doesn't want to give her this identity, it's that she doesn't want it and doesn't care about this identity, so she can't blame him.

"Okay! Don't be angry! Today is the first day of the new year, you are not allowed to sulk." Su Yuan coaxed him with a smile and used her hand to lift the corner of Cheng Lang's mouth.

Cheng Lang smiled helplessly and hugged the person tightly.

Su Yuan kissed him, then got up to put on her makeup.

After she was dressed, Su Yuan went out for breakfast.

"Mom! Were you okay last night? What happened in the palace?" Gu Yu was worried all night and hardly slept.

He wanted to come and find out last night, but he was afraid of disturbing his mother's rest. He also knew that his adoptive father must be in his mother's room, so he didn't come to ask and kept it to himself until now.

"It's okay! Something happened in the East Palace. It has nothing to do with us. You don't have to worry." Su Yuan comforted.

Knowing that the matter had nothing to do with Sima Luo and did not involve his mother, Gu Yu finally let go of his worries.

"But Yu'er, you should stay at home these days and don't go out." Su Yuan reminded.

When Sima Gong got into trouble, no one knew how His Majesty would react, let alone what actions His Majesty would take.

She had already asked two Western merchants to leave Kyoto and return to the Western Regions.

They earned a lot of money, enough for them to return home and live a wealthy life without having to leave their hometown and stay in Kyoto.

Your Majesty wants to investigate these two people, but he doesn't know where to start.

Gu Yu nodded and said, "Okay! I will review my lessons with Brother Ming and the others at home."

Speaking of Gu Ming and the other two, Su Yuan asked the nanny to take out three purses and asked Gu Yu to give them to Gu Ming and the other two.

The purse contained two fifty-liang silver notes, which were the New Year's money she gave to Gu Ming and the other two.

As for Gu Yu's New Year's money, she had prepared it early on, including 10,000 taels of silver notes, for Gu Yu to spend as he pleased.

"This is the New Year's money for Ming and the other two. You can give it to them later. I've asked the nanny to give yours to you. Buy whatever you want. There's no need to be frugal. There's no shortage of money at home." Su Yuan raised her eyebrows and smiled.

The family is indeed not short of money. Even the silver she earned from selling elixirs is 100,000 taels. If she doesn't give half to Asen and the others, she can earn more.

In fact, if the elixir is used properly, it is indeed a good thing. After deducting the cost, she still made 70,000 to 80,000 taels.

In addition, the Xingyun Chamber of Commerce has earned more than one million taels this year, so the thing they have the most is money.

"Okay!" Gu Yu agreed. He didn't ask about the details of last night and left with his purse.

After Gu Yu left, Su Yuan was waiting for someone from the palace to invite her.

But she waited for most of the day and no one came from the palace. Su Yuan was a little confused.

Did His Majesty and the Empress completely give up on Sima Gong? They weren't going to force her?

But it is understandable. She said it very clearly last night. Coupled with the words of the imperial physician, His Majesty and Queen Lu have probably accepted the reality.

It's best to accept reality.

Su Yuan did not enter the palace, but Cheng Lang was summoned into the palace by His Majesty.

In addition to him, there were several important officials including Lu Qin, Chen Jingzhong, the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor.

Sima Yunlong told them about Sima Gong's accident, and everyone looked at each other in surprise.

They took it seriously. Except for Chen Jingzhong, everyone else knew that something happened in the East Palace last night.

However, they still cooperated in the performance and acted shocked, especially Wang Ruhai.

Wang Ruhai was truly shocked and heartbroken.

Once Sima Gong fell, the Wang family completely lost its power.

You bet on the wrong horse!

One wrong move and the whole game is lost. Once Sima You ascends the throne, their Wang family will be doomed.

But once Sima Gong died, which other prince could compare with Sima You?

Sima You is the legitimate son and has reached adulthood, making him the best candidate for crown prince.

Your Majesty's health has been deteriorating over the past two years, and he may not survive for many more years.

Wang Family...

Wang Ruhai was disheartened and even more desperate than Sima Yunlong, who was about to lose his son.

Sima Yunlong lost his son Sima Gong, but he still had three sons: Sima You, Sima Qing and Sima Tu.

Without Sima Gong as their son-in-law, the Wang family had no one to support them.

What's more, he did many shameful things for Sima Gong and offended Sima You.

I don’t know if Sima You suspected him.

Even if he had no doubts, Sima You would never reuse a member of the prince's party.
