When Mrs. Su mentioned this, she seemed to have aged ten years.

She knew that the moment she opened her mouth, Empress Dowager Xie would no longer allow her to live, but she could no longer hide this secret that concerned the life and death of the entire Su family, and even the life and death of her son.

Otherwise, Su Jian would definitely not know how to stand in the current political whirlpool.

"Do you know who she became later?" Old Madam Su looked at her most beloved son in front of her. This son was once her hope to stay alive.

So, she definitely couldn't let anything happen to him again.

Su Jian's heart sank slightly, realizing something was wrong. This "lost" sister might be someone special now. But suddenly, he thought of Su Mo: "So Su Mo's father...?"

Su Jian didn't say anything else. He suddenly remembered that the relationship between the two families was not as distant as it turned out to be.

When did it start?

It seems that it was after the mother gave birth that they suddenly became distant.

Su Mo's father used to have a cheerful temperament, but he suddenly became depressed. From that time on, Su Mo, who had always been following Su Jian, seemed to be detained at home.

Su Mo got into trouble after his sister got into trouble.

All the past events were unraveled in Su Jian's mind, gradually piecing together a story that even he himself could hardly believe.

Su Mo always felt that he was wronged, but Shen hated Su Mo so much that she would never joke about her reputation.

Then, it is very likely that my mother did something...

And only my mother could arrange the Su family's celebration party so perfectly.

Su Jian's eyes widened in shock. Why?! Could it be that his sister really had some monstrous secret?!

"He encountered something he shouldn't have, so naturally, he had no choice but to die." Madam Su said calmly, "In fact, when he gave birth to your sister, he saw something he shouldn't have seen. He should have died at that time, but he didn't have the heart to do it."

Su Jian's body stiffened, and he sensitively realized something somewhat incredible.

Could it be that my mother didn't actually give birth to my younger sister?!

"But I didn't expect that he would try to stop me when I sent your sister away. There was nothing I could do, so I really had to die." Mrs. Su felt a little sad when she thought of Su Mo's father's behavior at that time. But at that time, no one had any choice.

It’s not that she didn’t go to the palace to ask for help from the Queen Mother, but there was nothing she could do.

Even Old Madam Su didn't want to send that little snowball away, but she couldn't joke with the entire Su family.

Old Madam Su knew how cruel Empress Dowager Xie was.

"Mother, isn't the one you gave birth to a daughter?" Su Jian finally asked, glancing around. No wonder his mother had guarded the compound so tightly this time; it turned out to be such a huge secret.

"It's a son, so you originally had a younger brother." Old Madam Su looked at Su Jian in front of her with a complicated expression, but Su Jian would probably never hear the word "brother" again in this life.

boom--

It was as if thunder exploded above Su Jian's head, and he looked at his mother in disbelief.

You have to know that the reason he was able to become the prime minister of Dongchu was not just because of his so-called in-laws. Many people could not get promoted even if they had in-laws.

Old Madam Su and Empress Dowager Xie had a close relationship, and their birth dates were close to each other.

and so……

Even Su Jian didn't dare to think about the truth any further. Just thinking about this kind of thing would lead to the execution of the entire family.

"You guessed it." Old Madam Su knew her son very well. In fact, she had never thought that Su Jian could hold such a high position.

But Su Jian did not waste any opportunity, and along the way, he actually reached the top among the civil officials.

"But that person?" Su Jian pointed to the sky.

Old Madam Su nodded.

The mother and son looked at each other, their eyes filled with complicated emotions.

"Then, what about my sister? Who is she?" Su Jian took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He felt that the answer might be shocking.

Empress Dowager Xie was really cruel. That was her daughter, but she actually let her mother throw her away when she was only a few years old.

Are you afraid of being exposed?

"Ji Xue." There was a hint of sarcasm on Old Lady Su's face. Empress Dowager Xie was not an ordinary person. She was able to kill the previous queen and successfully ascend to the throne.

Her daughter is no less impressive.

In fact, Old Madam Su has always known about the child's experience, so she knows even more how difficult it has been for her along the way.

It was against the will of heaven that Ji Xue could become Ji Xue, but in the end, she could not withstand the malice of the world.

boom--

Su Jian's mind was once again struck by thunder. He didn't expect that the person he had always been thinking about actually had such a connection with him.

Ji Xue...Su Jian never thought that he would hear Gao Zhengmin from his mother.

"Mother... do you know?" Su Jian wanted to speak, but he couldn't finish the rest of the sentence. He knew that his mother knew. After all, his concubine had been taken into the mansion.

But, does mother know the relationship between Su Jixue and Ji Xue?

"Are you talking about the child Su Jixue?" Although Old Madam Su was rarely in the capital, she had her own sources of information.

She already knew it when Su Jian brought the child back.

And without the help of Old Madam Su, many things would not have been able to be finished so beautifully.

"Mother, is Ji Xue really my sister?" Su Jian asked somewhat distraught. If his sister had not been lost, then Ji Xue would have grown up in the Su family and called him brother, right?

"Su Jian, is Mother telling you all this just to make you think about the romantic relationship?" Old Madam Su's eyes were filled with disappointment. "You should know the Su family's current position."

Now, the Su family is the pillar of the court and the only remaining clean family.

Can't make the wrong choice.

We must not become victims in such a situation.

You must know that Empress Dowager Xie’s attitude now is the key to determining the life and death of the Su family.

"Then, does Emperor Ming know about it?" Su Jian took another deep breath and asked the key point.

If Emperor Ming knew, then they would have a response strategy.

But if Emperor Ming didn't know, that would be another response strategy.

"Empress Dowager Xie can't be stupid enough to tell him about this." Old Lady Su sneered. You know, Empress Dowager Xie definitely wants to secure her position as Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Xie would never mention it.

"But my son guesses that he may have already known it." Su Jian knew the cause and effect of the court meeting last night, so he also knew that Zong Kui, who should have stayed in Dongchu with peace of mind, actually left at night.

Zongkui did not leave from the Cining Palace, but went to meet Emperor Ming before leaving.

Thinking of the list that Zong Kui left for Dong Chu, Su Jian had every reason to suspect that Zong Kui might have used something to threaten Emperor Ming.

The weakness of Emperor Ming was most likely his background.
