Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 206: Branch Office (1)
"I've always been a heavy sleeper, so I didn't know what happened. It wasn't until Qing Ling and the others woke me up that I realized that there was a thief in our yard. Fortunately, the girls like me know how to defend ourselves, so we dismissed them early. Only by getting rid of those thieves can I be safe and sound. Otherwise, I really don't know what will happen." Su Wan said with some gratitude.

"So that's how it is." Madam Ma breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his wife's girl had concealed the truth from her. She didn't know that last night was not a petty thief at all, but a murderous gangster.

Now that Su Wan has said that, it is natural for Ma Shi not to continue to ask about those experts, and after saying a few more words, he said goodbye and left.

When Jasmine went out to see her off, she asked Jasmine a few more insinuations, but unfortunately, Jasmine only said that she had fallen asleep and hadn't seen anything.

However, Mrs. Ma is quite sure about what happened last night, because not only she saw it, but also his husband Zhu Mingxiang, Zhuangzi's steward, also saw it. Well, let the people in the Hou Mansion worry about it!

After Mrs. Ma left, Su Wan left only two waiters, and asked her girls to take turns to rest, and she also waded to sleep for a while.

While Su Wan was catching up on sleep, Princess Shouning had already received the news that the mission had failed. In addition to sending someone to kill Su Wan, she also sent someone to watch. Fortunately, that person pretended well and was cautious Being far away, he was not caught by Emperor Xian De's men.

After those gangsters failed, he didn't dare to stay, so he rushed back to report.

"What? The mission failed?" After hearing his words, Princess Shouning was startled and furious, but most of them didn't believe it——

"I don't know how many lives have been contaminated by those people, and all of them are strong in martial arts, and their methods are cruel. How come they can't even kill a woman who has no power to restrain a chicken? Are you kidding me!"

The man knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said, "I don't dare to lie. After those people went in, they didn't come out again. The whole army should be wiped out."

"How is this possible? Could it be that these masters are not as good as a servant girl next to Xiao Su's? No matter how powerful that girl is, she can still defeat ten enemies with one enemy?" Princess Shouning was very angry. If those people did not die, she would definitely Let them die again, what a bunch of trash!
Cao Momo said: "Your Highness, please calm down. That girl Qingling came out of our mansion. I didn't know that she knew kung fu before. No matter how good she is, where can she go? It's definitely not her problem. Maybe, it is The Marquis of Changwu secretly sent someone to protect the little Su family, and that's why..."

When Princess Shouning heard this, her complexion became even more ugly, and she said bitterly: "It must be Marquis Changwu, Mrs. Wang Tai has long since given up on Little Su, and it is impossible to send someone to protect her. It must be Changwu Hou was greedy for Xiao Su's beauty, was bewitched by her, and was afraid that Mrs. Tai would object, so he quietly sent someone to protect her."

"Your Highness, what should we do?" Cao Mama asked, "Will the Marquis of Changwu cause trouble for us?"

"As long as Ben Gong refuses to admit it, how dare he come to question Ben Gong? Unless he presents some evidence, otherwise, so what if he guesses Ben Gong? There is nothing to do with Ben Gong. I don't believe it, she really dares For the sake of a mere little Su family, you question my decent mother-in-law." Although Princess Shouning was disappointed, she was not worried.

She has been in a high position for a long time, she has long been a little arrogant, and she is too confident in her own power, that's why she is so confident.

Grandma Cao said respectfully: "Your Highness said that, it is expected that Marquis Wu's Mansion in Changwu would not fall out with us because of a mere little Su family. Don't forget, there is also a Marquis of Changwu who hates Xiao Su very much." Ma'am!"

Princess Shouning smiled slightly, she didn't care too much, and waved her hand and said: "Forget it, let's just fail this time, it's not a big deal, just find a chance to deal with her in the future, anyway, she can't escape The palm of my hand."

In her eyes, Su Wan is a grasshopper after autumn, no matter how much she struggles, she will not survive for a few days.The failure this time was just an accident, and she will definitely be sent to hell next time.

Even the Eldest Princess of Shouning has already received the news, Emperor Xian De will only be earlier than her.

Before Emperor Xiande went to court, he heard Yang Yong talk about this matter. Yang Yong even let people find out all the ins and outs of this matter. Emperor Xiande naturally knew who did it to Su Wan, and immediately Long Yan was furious.

He has long been quite dissatisfied with the actions of the eldest princess of Shouning. So far, he has sent people to beat her many times, but she still does not repent.

Arrogant and domineering, disregarding the law, and disregarding human life.Even ignoring his warning, he acted more and more aggressively, and simply ignored the emperor's words.

She even dared to kill the imperial lady at will. Could it be that one day she would even dare to harm him, the emperor?
However, he knew that the Eldest Princess of Shouning had gotten very close to Concubine Hu Gui recently, and even intended to let her eldest grandson be the eldest prince's companion, obviously because she wanted to support the eldest prince's rise to power.

He was still young, and she was impatient to stand in line and support the next emperor. Where would she put him as an emperor?
The power of the British government is already big enough, isn't she still satisfied and wants to go further?
If until now, he still let it go, then he, the emperor, would probably be underestimated.

That being the case, he complied with her wishes.

In the early court that day, after listening to the minister's memorabilia, Emperor Xian De suddenly started to attack.

Of course, he didn’t name names, but said that no matter if it’s the emperor’s relatives, nobles, or officials, he must restrain his family members, heirs, and clan members, and never do anything that violates the laws of the country. , bullying the weak, creating unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, forcibly buying other people's land, even disregarding human life, buying murder to kill, etc., once discovered, they will never be lightly forgiven.

After listening to Emperor Xian De's words, all the ministers tensed up, and began to think about whether they had done any outrageous things to let the Holy Majesty know, so they took the opportunity to beat them this time.

After all, every family has some bad things, and no one dares to say that their own family must be clean.

The Holy Majesty usually turns a blind eye and closes his eyes, as long as it is not too much, he should not see it.

Whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, they are the eyes and ears of the emperor. If they do something and want to hide it from the emperor, it is almost impossible, unless the emperor himself does not want to see or listen.Therefore, all the ministers did not dare to take chances.

Even many smart people have made up their minds that when they go back, they must restrain their family members, be honest and honest, and deal with any unclean places quickly, so as not to be caught by the pigtails.
