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

"Yes, and I remember it very clearly."

Su Manman walked slowly forward and stopped in front of the bed.

She looked down at him and said word by word, "That man was pushed into the dry well by Concubine Liu, and in order to protect her, you filled the well with your own hands. A life was lost in your hands."

"You're talking nonsense..."

Su Tinggui refuted and scolded him harshly: "Master Cao will not believe anything without evidence."

"No evidence?"

Su Manman curled her lips and sneered, "I saw it with my own eyes. When that person fell into the dry well, he pulled off the jade pendant from your waist."

At this point, her tone lightened a bit, "If Lord Cao comes, the worst that can happen is to dig up the dry well, dig out the bones, find the jade pendant, and search for its owner."

"I don't believe it, Lord Cao, the Supreme Court Justice, that such a simple case is not clear."

Her expression was cold, and her tone was even colder.

Su Tinggui couldn't help but shudder.

Over the years, he paid little attention to her.

My impression of her was that she was in very poor health. Whenever she met people, she always kept her head down and looked timid.

Every time he yelled at her a little louder, she would tremble all over like a frightened quail and could only shed tears.

But now, she dared to come alone and threaten him with harsh words.

"You are crazy!"

Su Tinggui's face also turned cold. "You can make trouble in the palace, that's all. But do you want to make trouble in the government office?"

"Su Manman, do you know that I am your father?"

"If the Su Mansion collapses, you will be left without a roof over your head. Where will you go?"

Another piece of tile to cover yourself?

In her previous life, she entered Prince Jin's mansion and the imperial palace in order to find a roof over her head...

She didn't want to recall that kind of life.

Even now, after so many years of rebirth, she can't remember how she died in her previous life.

As the queen, she was surrounded by smiling faces and everyone around her respected her.

But if you think that everyone around you is loyal to you, you are likely to be disappointed.

Behind every smiling face, in those hands hidden behind, someone is holding flowers, waiting to please you.

Who would hold the dagger, gathering strength, waiting for the best opportunity, and stab it into your heart?

Therefore, she finally understood that the shelter given by others was false.

In this world, the only real things are the money you have fought for and the things you hold in your hands.

"Hehehe..."

Su Manman chuckled softly: "The Su Mansion has collapsed, and I have my own place to go. But you..."

Her tone was cold: "Are you still worried about your mother, your Aunt Liu, and your Jiaojiao? What should they do next?"

"Your mother can bear being without a roof over your head. Will your concubine Liu still be willing to follow you? Will your Jiaojiao be able to marry her ideal husband as she wishes?"

"You are crazy!"

Su Tinggui listened to her words and looked at her in disbelief.

"I'm crazy."

She was not angry in her heart. Looking at his frightened eyes, she felt particularly relieved. "You forced me to do this."

"I have nothing, so what am I afraid of?"

She lowered her voice, the deep tone like the voice of a messenger from hell, cold and damp, transforming into an invisible hand that clamped the man's neck. "At worst, we can die together. What am I afraid of?"

Their eyes met, their gazes were fierce, and the strong sense of oppression actually made Su Tinggui feel cold and timid in his heart.

"What do you want?"

He couldn't help but compromise and blurted out the question.

"I don't ask for much."

She said loudly, "I want to move back to Nishang Courtyard with my mother. There will be clean bedding and no one to disturb me."

"Return everything they stole from Cuixiangyuan, including that century-old ginseng."

"That's impossible!"

Su Tinggui flatly refused, "Jiaojiao lives in Nishang Courtyard. If you move in, where will she live?"

"That's something you have to consider."

Su Manman refused to give in. "Nishang Courtyard was originally the courtyard where my mother lived. She occupied the place, and I just asked her to make room."

Su Tinggui was driven to anger by her and said angrily: "I will arrange another place for you to live. Also, what kind of things could you have in your yard? Who would steal your things? Don't make such a fuss now."

"Climb and bite?"

Su Manman was so angry that she laughed, "I locked up all the things that Master Wu sent me a few days ago in the house. Now the box has been pried open and the things are gone."

"If it weren't for the people in the mansion snatching it away, it would be great!"

She folded her arms, a smile on her lips, "Let's go report to the authorities now. The gift list sent by Master Wu is still there."

"The gifts he gave me, if calculated, should be worth two thousand taels of silver."

"According to the laws of the Great Qian Nation, stealing items worth two thousand taels of silver should result in amputation and exile."

"Don't scare people with the law."

Su Tinggui threw the crutch in his hand in front of her and said, "You are my daughter. Even if I took your things, so what?"

"So what?"

Su Manman's expression was calm. "I can't do anything to you, but don't forget that you are an official in the court."

Her eyes fell on his injured leg. "A broken leg almost cleared your reputation of favoring concubines over your wife. So, what price will you pay to wash away the stigma of abusing your own daughter and robbing her money?"

"Are you threatening me again?" Su Tinggui asked indignantly.

"You did it, I'm just speaking it out so everyone knows."

"Aren't you afraid? I'll give the order now and have you captured, poisoned and mute, and sent away again."

Su Tinggui's tone turned cold and he began to threaten people.

"Hehehe..."

His words made Su Manman laugh.

"My good father!"

She spread her hands and sneered, "Do you still think I'm the little girl from six years ago who knew nothing, understood nothing, and could only cry when bullied?"

"I have already written the letter accusing you, and the client is keeping it for me."

"If something happens to me in the Su Mansion, the letter will appear on Lord Cao's desk the next day. If you don't believe me, why not give it a try?"

"You know exactly how you've treated my mother and my brother and me over the years. I'm sure the people in the taverns and teahouses out there would be happy to hear some gossip."

"You worked so hard to climb to the position of Minister of Rites. So many people are watching you. Do you really want to step down?"

She sighed deeply and said regretfully, "Barefoot isn't afraid of wearing shoes, so why don't we give it a try?"

"You..." Su Tinggui was speechless.

Lin is seriously ill and is nearing death.

Chengwu's eldest son went to the border to join the army and there has been no news of him since then.

Nothing can control this girl who is willing to risk her life.

If she is pushed into a corner, she can do anything.

Ever since she was able to invite His Royal Highness Prince Qi and Wu Xiaowen to the last birthday banquet, Su Tinggui has been somewhat wary of her.

Where does this girl get the confidence to compete with him?

Could the person behind this be His Royal Highness Prince Qi?

She can fight to the death.

He can't.

After ten years of hard study, he ranked second in the imperial examination of his peers, and started as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, a minor official of the seventh rank. After struggling for nearly twenty years, he finally became the Minister of Rites, a third rank.

All the work he has done along the way is his hard work, how can it be destroyed in an instant?
