Chapter 171 The Su Family Mother and Daughter Are Also Interesting
Thinking of this, Fu Jingrong raised his eyes again and met Fu Huai's indifferent eyes, "What is the next step, father?"
"The emperor is suspicious. If I appear in front of him again, it will seem that I have ulterior motives. In the near future, I will claim to be ill and not attend the morning court. The emperor will take the opportunity to investigate the relationship between Dingbei Palace and the remnants."
Afraid that Fu Jingrong might not understand, Fu Huai explained it in extra detail.
After a moment's silence, Fu Jingrong slowly spoke, "I have sent the token to Zhao Qingwan. If his people are capable, they can trace it back to the Marquis of Changping Mansion within two days. In addition, the fact that Murong Qian had a private relationship with Prince Yun was made public yesterday with his affair with Concubine Xian, which aroused the emperor's suspicion. In addition, Hong Xiru went to the Marquis of Changping Mansion to ask for an explanation a few days ago, but he had to hold his breath because of Murong Qian. It is only a matter of time before the emperor connects the dots."
After a pause, Fu Jingrong seemed to have thought of something crucial, his pupils shrank, and finally he said reluctantly, "To be on the safe side, we still have to ask Gu Xiuyan for cooperation. Hong Xiru has been buried for so long, it's time to dig him out."
Even though he was very reluctant, Gu Xiuyan did take a crucial step.
For Fu Jingrong, there is no one in this world who cannot be used, except Su Sui'an.
As for how to use Gu Xiuyan...
A hint of amusement slowly emerged in his eyes.
Fu Huai ignored his words, stood up and said, "The next thing is up to you."
Fu Jingrong nodded.
After all, when he revealed the truth, he had already made a division of labor with Fu Huai, with Fu Huai handling the court affairs while he was responsible for some private operations.
There is nothing going on openly now, but there are still many things to do in private.
...
The incident of an assassin entering the palace banquet ended with the execution of two remnants of the previous dynasty who were captured by Ye Hanqing.
The depressing atmosphere caused by the Imperial Guards surrounding the palace dissipated, and many officials in the court secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Kang finally escaped death and returned from Yumen City, and waited for the palace banquet with great difficulty. However, just when he waited for the emperor to grant him marriage, he was assassinated.
Ji Lanshuang, whose health had long since recovered, couldn't help but drag Su Sui'an to the Huguo Temple.
It is not only a prayer for peace, but also a divination for Su Sui'an about marriage.
In the carriage, Su Sui'an was feeling sleepy because of the effects of the medicine clearing his body.
Ji Lanshuang's nagging voice kept coming to her ears. Su Sui'an couldn't help but lean closer to Ji Lanshuang and said, "Mother, I know the benefits of getting married. You don't have to keep nagging me. Look, look, what's in my ear? It's not earwax, but callus!!"
"You little naughty boy! You're about to get married, but you're still not behaving properly." Ji Lanshuang thought she was just throwing a tantrum, so she reached out and poked her head, chuckling.
But soon, the smile on her face was tinged with a hint of sadness. "Before I knew it, you are going to get married. The last time His Majesty arranged a marriage with Duke Gu's Mansion, what happened? This time with the Dingbei Palace, I am more afraid that you will be wronged when you marry there."
If you raise a child for one hundred years, you will be worried for ninety-nine years.
In the previous life, perhaps before Ji Lanshuang was driven out of the Changping Marquis Mansion, she was still thinking about the fate of her children.
Thinking of this, Su Sui'an felt a slight sore in his nose and put away his playful look.
"Mother," she hid the tears in her eyes and pretended to be relaxed as she reached out and placed her hand on the back of Ji Lanshuang's hand, "Not everyone is as short-sighted as Gu Xiuyan."
"That's right."
Ji Lanshuang nodded in agreement.
That day at the palace banquet, the mother and daughter were bullied, and it was Princess Dingbei who personally stepped in to rescue them.
Compared to the old lady Gu who looked down on people, she would rather get along with Princess Dingbei.
After all, the Princess Dingbei still has some of the qualities of an old friend.
Although taking in Mrs. Rong and her brother might have brought them trouble, Mrs. Rong's personality was really to her liking, and she never felt bored when she was with her.
If it weren't for Rong Xian's incident, they would probably have become relatives by now.
"Mother, please follow our instructions. Under such circumstances, let's go to the Huguo Temple and pray for the safety of the whole family. Don't ask for divination. Anyway, no matter what the result of the divination is, I have to marry into the Dingbei Palace, right?"
The key is, don't be afraid of a thousand but be prepared for the unexpected. What if there is really an expert in Huguo Temple who can tell that she and Fu Jingrong will divorce in the future...
Su Sui'an couldn't even imagine how worried her mother would be day and night after she divorced.
So, let her just live her happy life one day at a time.
"Yes, yes, you are very eloquent. Mother can't argue with you."
The Su family's carriage soon arrived at the Huguo Temple.
Under the guidance of the young monk in the temple, the mother and daughter quickly arrived at their temporary residence.
Only then did they discover that there were many more guards guarding the temple.
"This is..."
Su Sui'an glanced indifferently at the guards standing around.
"Guards from Dingbei Palace."
This is where the female members of the family live. It is impossible for the King of Dingbei and his son to appear here.
Ji Lanshuang exclaimed, "That's not..."
Su Sui'an shook Ji Lanshuang's hand in time and said, "It is fate that we can meet by chance. We should not disturb you."
Ji Lanshuang woke up as if from a dream, "Yes, yes, let's take a detour."
After experiencing these ups and downs, Ji Lanshuang has long adopted an attitude of keeping his distance from these wealthy and powerful families.
Although Princess Dingbei looks like an old friend, Ji Lanshuang herself is not ready to face her future in-laws. If she fails to behave politely, it will be her daughter who will be embarrassed.
It would be better for her to pretend that she didn't know. When the wedding date was set and the Dingbei Palace came to propose marriage, she would prepare the etiquette and meet her in-laws.
The other end.
The mother and daughter saw the guards of Prince Dingbei's mansion looking like mice seeing a cat, and the maidservant beside Mu Xiaoxiao described it vividly.
An old maid whispered in Mu Xiaoxiao's ear, "Princess, do we still need to find time to meet them?"
Mu Xiaoxiao, who was already unable to sit still, put down the brush she was using to copy scriptures and plopped down on the desk.
His face was full of regret.
"If I had known, I would have changed my clothes and come out incognito."
They are so "afraid" of her now. What if she scares her daughter-in-law away? Where can she find a daughter-in-law to compensate that bad boy?
The mother and daughter of the Su family are also interesting.
If it were someone else, knowing her identity, they would have been eager to get close to her.
After squatting for a few days, I finally had a chance to meet my future daughter-in-law and put on some eye drops, but I missed it...
"Forget it, I'll ask for two amulets for peace, and we'll go back first."
If this road doesn't work, she'll just take another one.
It would be better for her to think of a way to let her daughter-in-law "rescue her mother-in-law" and then...
Hey hey hey...
Mu Xiaoxiao came ostentatiously and left quietly.
It was not until the next day that Su Sui'an and Ji Lanshuang discovered that Mu Xiaoxiao had left the day before.
"An'er, do you think it's possible that Princess Dingbei already knew we were here and saw through our thoughts, thinking that we looked down on her, so she left quietly? Did we offend someone?"
Ji Lanshuang tugged at Su Sui'an's sleeve nervously.
Su Sui'an laughed and shook her head, "Don't worry, mother. Maybe the princess has something urgent to do and needs to leave temporarily. The princess is generous and I don't think she will care too much about us."
After all, even if she got married, she and Fu Jingrong were just a couple in name only, and they probably discussed doing bad things when they were together.
Tell Fu Jingrong about this later, I think he will understand.
Who knows, it might be what he wants. Compared with her "disrespect" to his mother, when he meets the girl he loves later, he might be more easily accepted by Princess Dingbei.
Although she didn't understand why Princess Dingbei had a good life a few days ago and ran to their place to be a "servant"...
The mother and daughter stayed in the temple for two days. After they felt they had prayed for and fulfilled all the wishes they should have, they said goodbye to the abbot of Huguo Temple and left.
Before leaving, the abbot of Huguo Temple looked at Su Sui'an with a strange expression.
"I wonder if you could spare me a moment to talk to you, benefactor?"
Su Sui'an glanced at Ji Lanshuang, and after getting the latter's approval, she and the abbot walked to the side one after the other.
