Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

This kind of thing...

Su Jiaojiao looked at the silver bracelet inlaid with jewels on her wrist with a dazed look.

In her previous life, she got the same thing from Aunt Liu.

During the flower viewing banquet, in order to ruin Su Manman, she put the stuff in the wine and let Su Manman drink it.

Prince Yan sneaked into Su Manman's room and tried to do something wrong, but was discovered by everyone.

Su Manman was so sad and angry that she jumped into the lake.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Jin rescued me and saved my life.

Afterwards, Su Manman's reputation was completely ruined. The night she was taken back to the Su Mansion, she had a high fever that wouldn't go away, and the mansion doctor said she would not survive the night.

Lin asked Aunt Liu for a hundred-year-old ginseng. Her mother used the hundred-year-old ginseng as medicine and gave it to her to drink in advance to nourish her body.

After asking for the hundred-year-old ginseng, Lin died suddenly the next day, but Su Manman survived by chance.

Originally, Su Manman, who survived, was despised by everyone and no one loved her, so she would not live long.

No one expected that she would use some seductive tricks to make His Royal Highness Prince Jin willing to take her as a concubine.

After that, she entered Prince Jin's mansion and lived a fairy-like life.

Many years later, Prince Jin ascended the throne and she naturally became the supreme queen.

The key point of this matter was that at the flower viewing banquet, His Royal Highness Prince Jin saved Su Manman.

Su Jiaojiao touched the silver bracelet on her wrist, with a gloomy look on her face.

"If this kind of thing were used at the flower viewing banquet hosted by the Princess, and someone discovered it..."

Su Jiaojiao deliberately said with concern: "That is a serious crime."

"Don't worry!"

Aunt Liu patted the back of her hand and said, "We don't have this thing here, and others can't find it at all."

Here we are?

In her previous life, Su Jiaojiao had never paid attention to where these things came from.

In this life, she is more careful.

"Mom, this isn't something from our place, could it be from Huanyue Country?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid!"

As soon as Su Jiaojiao said this, Aunt Liu stopped her sternly, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

"Jiaojiao, there are some things you don't need to know. Mother is doing this for your own good."

"Mom, that Wang Er has been arrested." Su Jiaojiao was worried. "If he betrays you and me, we'll all be finished."

"He won't." Aunt Liu said firmly.

"Why not?" Su Jiaojiao got to the bottom of it.

"I saved his life." Aunt Liu said frankly, "For so many years, he has always obeyed my words."

That person is her loyal dog.

Over the years, he has always obeyed her orders, followed her commands with an obsession, and served her.

She was sure that the man would never betray her.

"Mom, what if he is really related to Huanyue Country?" Su Jiaojiao was worried.

"So what if it's related!"

Concubine Liu's face turned cold, and she snorted, "As long as I bite him to death, I don't know him. Even if Lord Cao comes, what can he do to me?"

The only time the two had contact was ten years ago when he asked her to make a fake celadon vase and send it to the Su Mansion.

The rest of the time, they had no direct contact at all.

The two were chatting inside the house when a little maid ran over hurriedly, bowing and saying, "Madam Liu, there's an old country woman at the gate of the Su Mansion who wants to see you."

"What old country woman?" Aunt Liu frowned.

"She said she was from Tianxin Village and her name was Hu Niang."

When Aunt Liu mentioned Hu Niang from Tianxinzhuang, her face changed drastically and she stood up suddenly.

"Tianxinzhuang?" Su Jiaojiao looked at her mother's panic and asked curiously, "That's my grandfather's house."

Ever since a fire reduced the Liu Mansion in Tianxinzhuang to ashes, Aunt Liu has never returned to that small place since she came to the capital.

Su Jiaojiao also learned from her mother's few words that the place was where her mother had lived since childhood.

"It should be some fellow villagers from my hometown who came to visit the capital and passed by the Su Mansion. I'll go take a look."

Aunt Liu got up and walked out of the house.

"Mom, I'll go with you to take a look."

Su Jiaojiao had never been to Tianxinzhuang, so she was particularly curious about the people on her grandparents' side.

"No need!" Aunt Liu stopped her, "You need to prepare well for the flower viewing banquet tomorrow. How can you waste your time on useless things?"

After being scolded, Su Jiaojiao didn't dare to follow.

Aunt Liu turned around and hurried towards the door.

At the gate of the Su Mansion, an old woman about fifty years old, carrying a large bundle, poked her head inside with an anxious look.

As soon as Aunt Liu walked out of the Su Mansion gate, she stood there and watched for a long time. Then, with a look of joy in her eyes, she trotted forward and said enthusiastically, "Miss Liu, it's been a long time since we last met."

It’s been a long time indeed, twenty years.

Aunt Liu was arrogant. She glanced at Hu Niang and said coldly, "Why did you come to see me?"

The way the two met didn't seem like they were old friends meeting again after a long separation.

"Miss Liu, no...I should call you Madam Su."

Hu Niang bowed her head and said, "Back then, you left without saying goodbye, which caused me a lot of trouble."

As Hu Niang spoke, she picked up a handkerchief and pretended to wipe away her tears. "That incident caused me to become seriously ill and I was bedridden for many years. My body is obviously worn out and I have aged more than ten years."

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so who can't tell how many tails each one has?

Aunt Liu sneered and kept some distance from her. "Back then, I did you a lot of good things. What do you want now?"

"That amount of silver is not enough!"

Hu Niang cried, "I'm sick and need medicine, which costs a lot of money. I'm weak and can't work. Without a living, my life is getting harder and harder."

"Now, my good-for-nothing son has grown up. He's in his twenties now, and he doesn't even have the money to marry a wife. What should I do?"

"What does it have to do with me if your son has no money and can't get married?" Aunt Liu said angrily.

"How is it none of your business?" Hu Niang said aggrievedly, "If I hadn't done that for you back then, you wouldn't have inhaled so much smoke and become so weak."

"It's impossible for me to only give birth to one son because of my weak body."

"My son is my life now. I can do anything for him."

"Our family cannot be cut off, my son must get married."

As Hu Niang spoke, she walked over to Aunt Liu and said, "Madam Su, I know where you live. I came all the way here from Tianxinzhuang just to ask you to lend me some money."

"Borrow money? No way!" Aunt Liu flatly refused.

This greedy old woman borrowed money under the pretext of borrowing money, but never returned it.

She wouldn't agree to her easily.

"How could you not lend it?" Hu Niang looked at her in disbelief and said, "Such a big thing, I took it on for you."

"For so many years, every time I wake up in the middle of the night, those wronged souls will come to look for me in my dreams."

"Madam Su, I've paid so much for you, but I just asked you to pay a little money, and you won't even bother?"

Hu Niang said in a bad tone, "I heard that your master is the Minister of Rites, and the family doesn't lack that little money."

"If you insist on refusing, think about the consequences. If Lord Su knows what you have done, how will you survive in the Su Mansion?"

"Are you threatening me?" Aunt Liu said grimly.
