Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 679 Her Viciousness
She said coldly, "Even if Xiao Tingchen is expelled from the family tree, I am still the fifth girl of the Xiao family. How can you reject me?"

"Tsk, who in Chang'an City doesn't know that you and Xiao Tingchen are together? The second lady has already written to Jiangnan to expel you and Xiao Tingchen from the genealogy."

Su Jiu frowned.

The old butler smiled, said "Offended", and closed the door heavily.

Shuang Jiang was furious, raised her wide sleeves and yelled: "Miss, get out of the way, this servant will kick open the door, and ask the second lady if she knows what courtesy, righteousness and shame are! When the master is famous, she uses the master's reputation to go around everywhere The second son seeks profit, but now that the master has fallen, she has completely left herself! If she is capable, she will spit out everything she swallowed!"

She is used to a pungent temper.

Su Jiu stayed for a while and looked towards the street.

Xiao Tingxiu was dressed in court clothes and came riding a horse.

About just came back from the palace.

She stepped forward, "Brother."

Xiao Tingxiu got off his horse, glanced at the closed door, and said calmly, "Follow me to the side door."

Su Jiu followed him into Xiao's mansion through the side door, and carefully inquired about Xiao Tingchen's affairs along the way.

Only then did she realize that the person in charge of interrogating Xiao Tingchen was actually Rong Zheng.

"Rong Zheng holds a grudge against him, and wants to punish his clan. How can he help him? Brother, we have to find a way to save him."

After Su Jiu finished speaking, he pondered for a while, and chose to tell Xiao Tingxiu the cards in his hand.

In her eyes, Xiao Tingxiu was taciturn and usually very stern.

But she knew that there was no one in the world who was more trustworthy than Xiao Tingxiu.

When he came to Xiao Tingxiu's study, he pointed to the files piled up on the case, "It's all the cases he committed."

Su Jiu opened the pages, and after reading a few pages, he was already dumbfounded.

These cases are more serious than she imagined, who knows how many officials of aristocratic families Xiao Tingchen has killed openly and secretly in just a few months!
She closed the file, "For the present plan, the only way is to use Yuan Min to threaten Empress Zhao and Grand Master Zhao to force them to withdraw their charges against Xiao Tingchen and force Dali Temple to release him."

"Or there is another plan..." Xiao Tingxiu frowned, "Using Yuan Min's background to completely overthrow Queen Zhao and Grand Master Zhao. Without them intervening in the court, I have a hundred ways to reverse the case for my fifth younger brother."

Su Jiu stared at him blankly.

This young Xiangye acted calmly, but hit the nail on the head.

She tentatively said: "However, how should the emperor know Yuan Min's life experience? I can't face the saint now, so I can only rely on my elder brother——"

Xiao Tingxiu looked indifferent, "I will not stand up for Xiao Tingchen without authorization. Su Jiu, I am now representing the Xiao family, and if something happens rashly, it will only attract the hatred of the Zhao family and drag the Xiao family into the abyss. You understand me mean."

Su Jiu nodded.

After all, Taishi Zhao is very powerful, if the matter fails, even Xiao Tingxiu cannot bear Taishi Zhao's anger.

Only when the Zhao family is brought down first, will he act to clear Xiao Tingchen of the charges.

Su Jiu was about to say goodbye and leave, but after thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "Brother, do you know which courtyard Mrs. Xue lives in?"

……

This was the first time Su Jiu took the initiative to meet Xue Shi.

She followed the maid through the corridor and across the courtyard, and walked for a full three quarters of an hour before entering a secluded and elegant courtyard.

In the small courtyard, there are whirling vegetation and exquisite pavilions.

She raised her head from the veranda, and saw a woman sitting and reading a book in the flower window of the pavilion from a distance. Although she was nearly forty years old, the years had not left any traces on her body.

She looks like a [-]-year-old girl, as if she is still in her boudoir.

Stepping into the pavilion, the maidservant reported softly: "Auntie, miss Su please see me."

The female voice from inside is as clear as water:
"Enter."

The maid pushed open the carved door.

Su Jiu stepped into the threshold, and saw that the room was filled with the smell of books, the walls were covered with calligraphy and paintings of the previous dynasty, a sandalwood carved ivory bed was placed in the corner, rare ancient books were displayed on the shelf on one side, and the desk next to the window There are complete brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, probably used by the owner often. The large brushes in the pen container are full of old luster, but it makes the place more and more quiet.

Xiao Tingchen's biological mother was sitting on a rosewood rose chair.

Even if you look closer, you still can't see the traces of age on her face.

With a snow-like appearance, even if she is put together with those bright little girls in Chang'an City, she is still outstanding.

Thinking about it, the reason why Xiao Tingchen was so good-looking had something to do with his mother.

She stepped forward and blessed the body, "Aunt Xue."

"It can't be Miss Su's gift." Xue Ling turned a page of the book, her posture was elegant and beautiful, but also quite alienated.

Su Jiu looked at her, "Xiao Tingchen was arrested in the water prison of Dali Temple and is suffering torture. Although Li Shi is his aunt, she has no blood relationship with him, so she can't wait to get rid of him. But Aunt Xue It is his biological mother, and he is in danger, why are you still indifferent?"

Xue Ling was more than indifferent, she was clearly enjoying the tranquility here.

Su Jiu couldn't see that Xue Ling cared about Xiao Tingchen, not at all!
Xue Ling turned a page of the book indifferently, "He brought his own death, so who can be blamed? I have fulfilled the responsibility of bringing him into the world, and his life and death, misfortunes and fortunes after that are all up to him. relation?"

Su Jiu was silent.

Instead of leaving, she sat down opposite Xue Ling.

Pouring a cup of tea, she sniffed the bitter tea fragrance, "Xiao Tingchen was imprisoned, and he was involved in a lot. Even I was targeted by the big families, and it was as difficult as going to the palace. But my aunt is different. I know that Xiao Tingchen is not the second uncle's flesh and blood, but the emperor's dragon descendant. The emperor likes you, and even still likes you. If it were you, the emperor would definitely change his mind and be willing to temporarily get Xiao Tingchen out of Dali Temple. Even if he is under house arrest Prince Yong's Mansion is also better than being in a prison, at least, it can save your life, right?"

The pavilion was silent.

Birds singing in early summer came from outside the window, and the noon sun passed through the shade of the trees, bringing a bit of coolness.

Xue Ling turned another page of the book, her beautiful brows were full of indifference, "The emperor really likes me very much, he even sent imperial guards to Xiao's residence in private, asking if I would like to enter the palace."

Su Jiu's eyelashes moved slightly, and there was a little expectation in his moist eyes, "What do you say?"

"Of course I refused." Xue Ling's lips were bright red, and there was a cool feeling when she smiled, like a hibiscus in full bloom, "Back then Xue Chengcheng died in the palace change, now I am Xue Ling, it’s just Xue Ling. I don’t like anyone who belongs to those days.”

"Xiao Tingchen is your own son."

"He also came from back then. It's just a bastard, a thing that should have been drowned in the water when it was born, what right does it have to live in this world?"

Xue Ling's voice seemed to be soaked in ice and snow, until it was so cold to the bone.

Su Jiu stared at her for a long while. From her fair and beautiful face, he really couldn't find the slightest bit of warmth that belonged to his mother.

She got up, "Excuse me."

The girl left the pavilion, and Xue Ling, who was sitting upright holding a book, closed her eyes silently.

Can't tell whether the emotion is joy or sorrow.

The breeze blows through the window, bringing the fragrance of gardenia in early summer.

Xue Ling opened her eyes and saw an early-blooming white gardenia on the window sill.

There is still dew, and the green leaves are particularly holy and clean.

The ancient book in her hand fell to the ground, she ignored it, got up suddenly and ran to the window sill, "Cheng'er! Are you still there?!"

Her voice trembled violently, showing how excited she was.

There was silence outside the window.

Xue Ling grabbed the window lattice and lowered her head sadly, "Every day you send me a flower, but you avoid me... Sheng'er, why is your heart so poisonous?"

After a long time, Xue Ling thought that no one would answer her.

She turned around sadly, but heard a low voice from behind:
"Isn't it true that a mother is really vicious when she treats her younger brother?"
