Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 83 Family Honor

Su Mengyao's family was originally just one of the many ordinary families in Chang'an City, but because Su Mengyao showed amazing wisdom and extraordinary talent since childhood, the family gradually came to the fore and eventually became famous, becoming a new and prestigious family in the city.

As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. As the family's reputation grows, all kinds of troubles also follow.

More and more people with ulterior motives are targeting them, attempting to curb their development momentum through suppression and frame-up.

Faced with these malicious enemies and the numerous challenges that followed, Su Mengyao and her family did not retreat, but chose to face it all bravely.

In this power game full of intrigues and calculations, Su Mengyao and her family know that they can only fully utilize their own intelligence and outstanding abilities.

Only then can one remain invincible in the turbulent situation and win the trust and support of the empress and the entire court.

One morning, the sun shone on the magnificent court, and the magnificent palace looked particularly solemn and dignified.

Empress Wu Zetian was sitting on the dragon throne, gazing at the ministers below with a frown.

It turned out that the court was currently facing a very difficult and urgent major political issue. The ministers discussed it and expressed their opinions, but no one could come up with an effective solution.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Su Mengyao's father, Su Tai, walked out steadily from the crowd and stood in the center of the court.

His posture was as straight as a pine tree, his face was firm and calm, his deep eyes flashed with a determined light, and his loud and steady voice echoed in the hall:

"Your Majesty, I have a plan that may be able to resolve the current difficulties."

As he spoke, Su Tai's tone naturally revealed a strong confidence and extraordinary wisdom.

Then, Su Tai elaborated on his carefully conceived plan in detail. Every sentence was clear and logical, which impressed people.

When he finished speaking, the entire court fell into a brief silence, and then erupted into a burst of enthusiastic admiration.

Empress Wu Zetian, who had been listening silently, now fixed her gaze on Su Tai. A subtle look of admiration slowly emerged on her dignified face, and she nodded slightly, saying:

"Lord Su, what you said is absolutely right. Your plan is exactly what I want!"

His words made no secret of his deep trust in Su Mengyao's family and his growing dependence on them.

In the fierce political struggle, Su Mengyao's family gradually gained the upper hand with their wisdom, strategy and some unknown means.

Their power in the court continued to expand, and those opponents who had originally competed with them were defeated one after another.

In this way, the Su family's position became increasingly stable, standing like an indestructible fortress above the court.

However, as the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, the rapid rise of the Su family caused strong dissatisfaction and deep fear among other nobles.

These nobles watched the Su family grow stronger and stronger, their hearts filled with jealousy and resentment.

Beneath the seemingly calm surface, a surge of hostility is secretly surging.

One day, in a dimly lit secret room, a nobleman said gloomily to his colleagues in a low voice:

"Look at the Su family now. They are simply arrogant! They are rising too fast. If we don't take action to curb them, it won't be long before they control the entire court. By then, where will we stand? So, no matter what, we must come up with an effective way to stop the Su family from continuing to grow and develop."

After saying this, the noble clenched his fists tightly, his eyes revealing a hint of determination.

The other nobles sitting around him nodded in agreement and began to discuss countermeasures...

The power of Su Mengyao's family is like the rising sun, shining brightly and unstoppable.

This dazzling splendor attracted the jealous gazes of other nobles, like a nail embedded in the flesh, painful and difficult to remove.

As the family's power continued to expand, the jealousy in the hearts of the nobles grew more and more intense, and their hostility towards the Su family also increased day by day.

Finally, they could no longer suppress their inner restlessness and began to collude secretly, carefully planning a huge conspiracy of unprecedented scale, in an attempt to completely overthrow Su Mengyao's family in one fell swoop.

Deep in the secluded imperial palace in Chang'an City, there are several secret rooms hidden.

In this dark corner where one cannot see one's hand in front of one's face, several nobles were sitting together, whispering and discussing their evil plan.

Their voices were extremely low, like the cry of a night owl, filled with sinister malice:

"The Su family has risen too rapidly in recent years. If we don't take measures to curb it, it will become a major threat in time and will definitely endanger our current status!"

The person who spoke gritted his teeth, with a fierce look in his eyes, and the others also agreed and nodded in agreement.

There was a cunning glint in everyone's eyes, revealing their determination to never give up until their goal was achieved.

Su Mengyao and her family members were also keenly aware of the imminent crisis. They knew that this was a matter of life and death and they could not just sit back and wait for death.

So, everyone gathered in the family's meeting hall to discuss countermeasures.

Su Mengyao was seen standing tall in the center of the hall, her beautiful eyes showing an extremely determined look, as cold and resolute as a star.

She spoke loudly, "Everyone, the situation is critical. The enemy is eyeing us with eagerness, eager to put our people to death. But how can we allow ourselves to be slaughtered? Only by taking the initiative can we find a glimmer of hope. We must do everything we can to uncover the conspiracy and schemes of these villains and expose their sinister intentions to the world!"

The respected elder of the family, Su Tai, was sitting upright on the armchair at this moment, gently twisting the gray beard on his chin with his right hand, his deep eyes slightly closed, as if immersed in deep thought.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze like a torch, and scanned everyone present. Then, in a tone as steady as a mountain yet full of power, he spoke:

"Mengyao is absolutely right. The situation is dire now. Only by working together and uniting as one can we withstand the coming storm with wisdom and courage!"

After saying this, he straightened his body slightly, and a glint of determination flashed in his eyes, which was the light of unwavering belief in the future of his family.

After getting Su Tai's support, Su Mengyao and her family members acted quickly and began to secretly plan a Jedi counterattack.

They made full use of their various resources and connections, and like hunters in the dark night, quietly carried out a series of intelligence gathering work.

These seemingly ordinary people on weekdays have transformed into shrewd and capable spies, shuttling between the streets and alleys of the city, not missing any potentially useful clues.

Time passed quickly, and finally a crucial court banquet arrived.

At the banquet, the lights were on, the music was melodious, and the princes and nobles were dressed in their best clothes, toasting each other and chatting happily.

Behind the apparent prosperity, there was an undercurrent. At this moment, Su Mengyao was like a dancing butterfly, lightly moving through the crowd.

With her sweet smile and gentle words, she unknowingly led a key noble into a pre-set trap.

When the time was right, Su Mengyao suddenly called out, "Everyone, please be patient. I have a letter here that will surely show you the true face of some people!"

As her clear and pleasant voice rang out, the entire banquet hall instantly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Immediately afterwards, Su Mengyao raised her jade hand lightly, and a yellowed envelope appeared at her fingertips.

She slowly opened the envelope, took out a piece of letter, and then read aloud in front of everyone.

The content of the letter was like a bolt from the blue, ruthlessly tearing apart the lies and conspiracies carefully woven by the nobles, leaving everyone present dumbfounded and astonished.
