After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium
Chapter 57 Condolences
Su Si Niang walked briskly and sat down next to Su Wan, looking melancholy. "Come to think of it, it's been a long time since we last met. How come you've lost so much weight? You must have suffered a lot of injustice since you came back this time. I'll give you some good nourishment."
Seeing Su Siniang being so pretentious, Cheng secretly rolled her eyes.
After her husband's death, Su Si Niang brought Jiang Yun back to the Su family. Her father and brother, driven by guilt, showed unspeakable love to her and her daughter. Furthermore, Su Si Niang was adept at flattering and currying favor, constantly making Grand Tutor Su beam with joy. Therefore, despite her somewhat fiery personality, no one dared to criticize her. Consequently, Su Wan didn't want to cause any unpleasantness with her in front of Grand Tutor Su.
What’s hateful is that Su Si Niang never cares about anything.
"It's good to be back. Don't think about anything here. The Zheng family looks down on us, so there's no need for us to curry favor with them."
Master Su hummed, "What kind of words are you saying in front of the child?"
Su Si Niang clapped her hands and said, "Look at me, I got so anxious for a moment."
Su Wan seemed unconcerned. "The Su family is a family of scholars, and their daughters are definitely not bad. And I was taught by my elders to be a good woman. Now that things have turned out like this, it's because they were blind. I have nothing to regret, and my aunt doesn't need to worry about me."
Su Si Niang's face froze, and she looked indescribably surprised. Taifu Su and Su Yanshu and his wife beside her nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing the awkward situation, Jiang Yun quickly stepped out to smooth things over. "Sister, it's great that you're back. Now I have a playmate again. Tell me what you want to eat and what you want to play. I'll prepare it for you."
Su Wan responded politely, "My sister is thoughtful, but I'm a married woman now, and I've long lost interest in the things I played with and ate as a child."
Jiang Yun said "Oh", "Really, my sister still thinks I'm still like this before I got married."
Su Wan laughed, "Then my sister must have just woken up."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
The family chatted and laughed for a while, and then Cheng took Su Wan to her old courtyard, Muyunxuan. Taifu Su felt that Su Wan was in a bad mood as she had just returned from a divorce, so he suggested having dinner together another day. Cheng immediately had food and hot water prepared.
Su Wan returned to her own courtyard. Opening the door, she felt as if she had returned to her previous life, before she married. Everything was still as it was before: the zither her mother had left behind, the books she hadn't taken with her, and the lace she had learned to make with her sisters.
Every place was clean, as if someone was there every day, which made Su Wan feel relieved.
Liu Shang handed the ball to Su Wan, who held it in her arms and stroked it gently, "From now on, this is your home. Do you like it here?"
"Meow~"
"My wife's yard smells so good, I love it so much." Liu Shang said, making everyone laugh.
"Hasn't Father written yet?"
Liu Shang: "Tomorrow, I will go to Mingxiangxuan to ask."
Su Wan nodded. "I'm afraid Mingxiangxuan will be under the Zheng family's scrutiny now. Has Manager Liu made all the arrangements?"
"Don't worry, madam. After receiving our letter, the steward has already moved the money to the nearest silk shop, and burned the letters. As for those people who were privately trained, a few were kept, and the rest were also placed in the silk shop."
Su Wanwan smiled, "I trust Manager Liu to do his job."
……
Inside the Xuande Hall, Emperor Jing was also in a good mood at the moment.
"Xingzhi, do you know how long it has been since I felt this happy?" Emperor Jing looked deeply at Xie Yin. "Seeing Zheng Weilan and his family kneeling on the ground begging me, I finally regained some of my dignity as an emperor."
Early this morning, the Zheng family's affairs once again erupted in the imperial court. On one side, the Yu clan argued that the Zheng family's crimes were undeserved, and that stripping them of their titles would be an injustice to their ancestors, who had helped expand the imperial territories. Of course, the Wang clan's censors lambasted the Zheng family members. Meanwhile, some more reasonable individuals urged the emperor to quickly find suitable replacements for Zheng Weilan and Zheng Yanchen, suggesting that Emperor Jing was deliberately stalling.
Xie Yin smiled faintly, "Your Majesty is wise. Now that the Zheng family has suffered a heavy blow, I think the Yu family will no longer trust the Zheng family so much."
"Well, as for the follow-up, I will immediately draft an order to avoid any further complications."
"Your Majesty, as for the position of Shangshu You Pushe, who would you like to appoint?"
"Su Yanshu is the perfect fit."
There needs to be checks and balances in the court. Besides, if Su Yanshu's status rises, those members of the Su family who are currently hiding in the shadows will also jump out.
"Also, I want the eldest son of the Su family to fill the vacancy of Zheng Yanchen. What do you think?"
Xie Yin: "Your Majesty, the idea is good, but I don't think the Su family will agree. The Su family has been playing it safe for the past few years, and now they have fallen out with the Yu family. How dare they dare to show up?"
Emperor Jing's eyes darkened, and he suddenly felt a little lost.
Xie Yin raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Do you want to give us something else? Let's see what the Su family's attitude is."
Emperor Jing paused, then pointed at Xie Yin and laughed, "You."
Xie Yin also laughed, "I think I have done something meritorious."
"nature."
"Then can I ask for a reward as well?"
"what do you want?"
Xie Yin immediately said, "I want to go to Yangzhou to soak in the hot springs."
Emperor Jing opened his eyes and was somewhat surprised.
"Yangzhou?"
The next day, in Muyunxuan, Su Wan looked at Manager Liu in surprise.
"Yangzhou?"
Inside Mu Yunxuan, Su Wan looked at Manager Liu and asked in surprise.
"Indeed, I have been searching for a long time and have asked brothers everywhere to look for him. I found out that Shen Wenqin, the one your wife is looking for, is currently in the Yunkai Academy. I heard that he is an outstanding student there, but because of his commoner background, he is quite controversial."
"Is his ancestral home in Yangzhou?"
"Exactly."
Su Wan pondered for a moment and said, "I understand. Also, I plan to convert the incense shop in Jiyun Lane into a medicine shop. I know some prescriptions for facial treatments, and I would like to try them out later." The incense shop was making a loss, so it would be better to find another business.
Manager Liu's face lit up with joy. "My lady is very clever. I will do it right away."
"Madam, madam." As he spoke, Liu Shang ran in.
Manager Liu was a man of propriety. Seeing that the two men had something to say, he bowed and left.
"Thank you, Chief Sir, for coming!"
"What did you say!?" Su Wan's eyes were filled with shock, and she almost dropped the teacup in her hand.
"I am currently discussing matters with the Master in the front hall."
Su Wan heaved a long sigh, "Liu Shang, next time you speak, could you please not breathe so hard?"
Liu Shang was puzzled, and Su Wan hurriedly explained, "I get scared when I hear his name. Luckily, my second uncle is here." But what Liu Shang didn't know was that Su Wan almost thought Xie Yin had barged into her yard in broad daylight, questioning her about her father's whereabouts. After all these days, would he guess that she had lied to him?
"What do you think Xie Yin and his uncle have to say?"
Liu Shang's eyes widened. "How would I know? They served in the same court, so they naturally have a lot to talk about."
Su Wan stood up and said, "My uncle will definitely not tell us. However, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles." Only by knowing their plans can she proceed to the next step.
"go!"
"Where?"
Su Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's go experience the game of Walls Have Ears." Before Liu Shang could speak, Su Wan walked out the door.
"Sister, where are you going?" A woman suddenly ran out and stopped Su Wan.
