The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Liu Hui quickly stood up to smooth things over, saying, "Ying'er, your father is just concerned about you and afraid that you will be gossiped about outside." Her gaze turned to Su Fuying, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up by a smile.

Seeing that Su Fuying remained unmoved, Liu Hui cursed inwardly, but smiled even more brightly on her face. A trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but she immediately put on a smile again: "Your father didn't mean anything by it. After all, both his children are his flesh and blood. He just loves your sister."

Thinking of what Butler Wang had just said, Su Fuying sneered inwardly, her tone somewhat playful: "Then what should Mother do?"

Hearing Su Fuying speak up, Liu Hui's smile deepened. "We're all family, so let's not be formal. Your sister is in this state now, and you're a princess now, so why not give Wan'er some compensation?"

Her eyes gleamed with greed and calculation, as if she could already see a rich reward in store.

Upon hearing this, Su Fuying glanced at Su Chengde casually. He saw that Su Chengde was holding his head with his hand, breathing heavily, and his face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.

She couldn't help but sigh at Liu Hui's cruel heart, how could she be so heartless as to harm her husband who had been by her side for over a decade?

What compensation does Mother want?

A hint of joy flashed in Liu Hui's eyes, and she couldn't wait to say, "Why don't we take out the betrothal tokens from His Highness the Crown Prince and give them to Wan'er?"

Su Fuying looked shocked. "Mother, this thing is extremely valuable. How could it be given away so casually?"

"But Ying'er promised Mother this when she returned to the capital. Are you going to go back on your word?"

Liu Hui's tone was somewhat displeased, as if she had long expected Su Fuying not to easily produce the token.

That little bitch was able to return to the capital using this condition. She thought that once she came back, she could rightfully obtain the token and then find a way to get rid of her.

But to my surprise, this wretched woman changed completely after returning to the capital, no longer as cowardly and incompetent as before.

It now seems impossible to get her to hand over the jade pendant willingly.

Several groups of people were sent to search her room, but none of them found anything. If they don't get their hands on it soon, and Su Fuying really marries the Crown Prince after she comes of age, it will be too late to undo the damage.

Su Fuying narrowed her eyes slightly and subtly withdrew her hand. "How could that be? I always keep my word. I'll go back and look for it. Once I find it, I'll bring it to you, Mother."

That same phrase again! He's trying to trick her and buy her time.

Just as I was about to say something, I heard a loud "bang" behind me.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Su Chengde lying face down on the ground in a strange posture.

Liu Hui's heart skipped a beat, "Master!"

"father!"

Startled by Liu Hui's shout, Su Mingqian snapped back to reality and also let out a howl.

The mother and son clung to Su Chengde, trying to wake him up, crying, "Blood, Mother, so much blood."

It was only when Su Mingqian spoke that Liu Hui noticed that thick blood was beginning to flow from Su Chengde's face.

She couldn't help but scream and hurriedly flipped Su Chengde over.

Since the original intention was to coerce and entice Su Fuying today, the servants were dismissed to avoid making things too ugly.

At this moment, there were only the three of them in the room, with Su Fuying still standing in the same spot, coldly looking at the three people on the ground.

Liu Hui turned her head and saw Su Fuying still standing there. Her voice became sharper: "Su Fuying, you are simply unfilial. Why don't you come and help?"

Su Fuying showed a hint of impatience on her face. She really couldn't be bothered to pretend anymore, but thinking of the plans ahead, she forced herself to hold back.

Upon approaching and seeing Su Chengde's face covered in blood, he couldn't help but frown. Because he had landed face-first, a large gash had appeared on his forehead, and blood was gushing out continuously.

Upon closer inspection, it appears that blood is continuously seeping from the mouth and nose.

She took a deep breath and crouched down to check on him.

Liu Hui and Su Wenxuan hurriedly began to tidy up.

"Somebody come!"

Su Fuying's voice startled Liu Hui, who immediately tried to cover Su Fuying's mouth, "Shut up."

He turned his head to avoid Liu Hui's outstretched hand, staring sharply at her, "Father is in such a serious condition, why didn't you call a doctor to treat him? What are Mother's intentions?"

"I...I...I was just worried that if others saw you like this, how would you be able to serve as an official in the court?"

Liu Hui stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence, and kept avoiding Su Fuying's sharp gaze.

"Is Mother hiding something? Such a big thing has happened, are you going to conceal it?"

The woman's fierce voice left Liu Hui's mind in a whirl. "Ying'er, just help your mother this once. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."

Suddenly remembering something, she quickly added, "Your father has a chronic illness, and your mother has a way to treat it. There's no need to bother anyone else."

"How about this, I won't pressure you about the Crown Prince's token anymore?"

Su Fuying sneered inwardly. It was just a piece of junk, yet everyone thought it was something valuable. She didn't care about it at all.

On the surface, however, he had to pretend to be in a difficult position, and after thinking for a long time, he reluctantly said, "I'll listen to Mother."

Liu Hui breathed a sigh of relief, helped Su Chengde onto the bed, and then left. Anyway, he wouldn't die now, so there was no rush.

On the way, she met Biluo, who had come to pick her up, and the two went to the old lady's courtyard together.

"grandmother."

The old lady had just finished breakfast and was taking a nap in the yard when she heard the sound and a happy look appeared on her face. "My little girl is here."

"Come here quickly, I haven't seen you for days, let your grandmother see you."

Su Fuying rarely showed a smile, and stepped forward to massage the old lady's shoulders while talking intimately with her.

"Grandmother, there is something I want to tell you."

Seeing Su Fuying suddenly become serious, the old lady also sat up.

All that could be heard was Su Fuying saying gently, "Granddaughter wants to tell Grandmother that no matter whether grandchildren are still a member of the Su family in the future, Grandmother will always be my Grandmother, and that will never change."

The old lady was a little stunned, not quite understanding what she meant. After a while, she sighed softly, "Ah, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. My little girl has grown up and has her own ideas now."

"grandmother......"

Looking at the old lady's aged face, Su Fuying felt a little sorry for her and was about to speak when the old lady interrupted her.

"Ying'er, come with me, Grandma has something for you."

The old lady went into the room and lifted the bedding. There was a hidden compartment on the bed board. She opened it and took out a sandalwood box.

Seeing how well it was preserved, Su Fuying assumed it was some kind of family heirloom and was about to refuse when she heard Tiantian hesitate and say:

"Ying'er, I'm entrusting this to you because I only have one request for you."
