The poisonous girl becomes a phoenix

Chapter 499 The Master Su Who Embezzled Public Funds
As she said that, she turned her head to Su Xiyun and gave a blessing: "Miss Su San, it really is better to see once than to hear a hundred things."

Su Xiyun also stood up and bowed back to the other party, and said lightly, "Miss Shi Si was joking." Her attitude was both polite and alienated.

The queen smiled and said: "Okay, all of you don't stand, come and sit down."

"Yes! Your Majesty!" The two girls agreed together, and then sat down next to the queen, and the queen opened the second album again.

"Ma'am, this is..." Shi Jinfeng asked in surprise.

The queen looked down at the beauties in the book, and replied: "This is a portrait of a lady from some officials' family in Beijing."

Shi Jinfeng is very smart, the queen only said this, and she guessed what these are for, and said immediately: "Ma'am, these are for the selection of the crown prince's concubine, right?" smile.

Hearing this, the queen couldn't help but looked up at her, and when she saw the smile on her face, for some reason, a trace of guilt appeared on her face.It took a long time before he said: "Jinfeng, I am very sad that your sister has gone, but the crown prince cannot be without a wife for a day, do you understand?"

"Jinfeng understands." Shi Jinfeng still had a smile on his face, as if he really didn't care about this matter.

Su Xiyun stood aside. She remembered the news that Zhou Can had inquired about before. Ever since the crown princess Shi died of illness, the Shi family was ready to send another girl into the palace to continue occupying the position of the crown princess. The crown prince did not agree to this matter. Although the queen did not say anything, she did not support it as before.

This Shi Jinfeng should be the woman that the Shi family planned to put in the prince's east palace, and she looks somewhat similar to the late princess, no wonder the empress is so enthusiastic about her.Su Xiyun thought about it, and then glanced at the other party. When she saw the smile in the other party's eyes, she understood that the woman in front of her was also a person who was good at disguising.Regardless of whether she is happy or not, but she can do this without showing any emotion, she is considered a powerful woman.

Thinking of this, Su Xiyun couldn't help but sweat for Su Daiyun.

"Ma'am, look, this little granddaughter from Xue Ge's hometown is fourteen years old. She looks like a fairy at a young age, and she is extremely intelligent. She is just right for His Royal Highness." At this moment, Shi Jinfeng pointed to a girl in the album. The woman said to the queen with a smile.

When Su Xiyun heard this, she immediately stretched her head to take a look, only to find that the woman in the painting looked somewhat similar to Xue Sumei.Just younger in age.Thinking about what Shi Jinfeng said just now that the girl's surname is Xue, it seems that she should be the younger sister of Xue Sumei who was betrothed to His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince.

The queen frowned tightly when she heard this, and said: "This girl is good, but she is too young. It will take a few years before she marries into the palace to have children. If she fails, change to another one."

"What your empress said is true." Shi Jinfeng smiled lightly at the queen, and put the matter aside.

On that day, the queen read all the girls in the brochure, but she couldn't choose any one she liked. Those girls either had a problem here or something bad there. In short, they were all rejected by the queen.

Shi Jinfeng stayed in the palace until sunset in the afternoon, then bid farewell to the queen and returned home, but Su Xiyun stayed in the side hall because of the queen's persuasion.

In the early morning of the second day, Mrs. Su got ready to go out of the house in a carriage after eating early.Elder Su, who hurried over from the front yard, looked at the old lady Su who was already sitting in the carriage in surprise and said, "Mother, where are you going? Your injuries haven't healed yet!"

"It's all right." Mrs. Su poked her head out of the window and said to the Elder Master: "Mother, go to Baiyun Nunnery, you don't have to worry, hurry up and go to court!"

"Go to Baiyun Nunnery?" Elder Su was taken aback: "Mother, it takes half a day in a carriage to get to Baiyun Nunnery, can you bear it?"

Up to now, the old lady Su’s board in Baiyun Nunnery is still not good enough, and she will feel a dull pain after sitting for a long time, and the journey to Baiyun Nunnery is so far away, Master Su’s worries are not unreasonable, but Old Madam Su heard Liao was still unmoved: "Mother, if you don't go to the mountain in person, will the third daughter-in-law come back obediently?"

She fought hard for those dowries!

When Mr. Su heard this, he finally understood what the 'method' Mrs. Su said yesterday. She felt that she wanted to go to the nunnery to invite the third lady in person!Although he was dissatisfied with his own mother's self-declining behavior, but after thinking about it carefully, Mr. Su realized that there was only one way to get the third lady to go down the mountain.

Even though he thought so, the elder still stopped him and said: "Mother, you are not in a hurry to go up the mountain first, we should send someone to find out what the third sibling is saying, if she agrees, then you don't have to spend so much money After all, the older daughter got married and she didn't come back, so she should also want to come back when the younger daughter gets married this time."

"If she resents us for letting her stay on the mountain for so many years and doesn't want to come down, then it's better for you to go out again, mother." The old man said eloquently.

The old lady Su sat in the carriage, frowned and thought carefully for a long time, then nodded and said: "You are right, you should send someone up the mountain to check on the third daughter-in-law."

"Mother, why don't you go back?" Master Su said with a smile.

The old lady Su nodded, and Dang even supported Elder Su's hand, slowly got out of the car, and Dang even ordered to Nanny Lin: "Hurry up and go to Baiyun nunnery in the carriage. Shall I teach you?"

"Yes! Old lady, this servant knows!" Nanny Lin nodded hurriedly.

Only then did Old Madam Su wave her hand and tell her to go down.

"Why don't you go to court?" Mrs. Su asked curiously when she saw that Mr. Su was still standing there.

Elder Master Su didn't answer, he just stretched out his hand to support Old Madam Su and walked towards the Chunhui courtyard: "Mother, go back first, my son has something to tell you."

Hearing this, Old Madam Su couldn't help staring at him suspiciously from the side, and glanced at the maidservants around her. She stopped talking and waited until she entered the room. She turned her head to face Su Da The master said: "Okay, if you have anything to say, say it now!"

"Mother, can you think of a way to call Xiyun out of the palace? My son's recent situation is not good." Seeing that there was no one else in the room, the expression on Master Su's face instantly became a little sad: "My son has been in trouble recently." A lot of public funds have been embezzled, and the investigation has been tight recently, my son heard that the person responsible for this matter is His Royal Highness King Rong, please ask Xiyun to intercede with King Rong, and suppress this matter!"

"Misappropriation of public funds?" Old Madam Su said in surprise, "Jingci, why did you become so courageous! How much did you embezzle?"

Master Su immediately lowered his head when he heard the reprimand: "It's not too much, just 30 taels of silver."

"30 taels?" The old lady Su screamed suddenly, the voice was so loud that even the few birds parked on the trees in the yard were startled flying.The guards waiting in the yard jumped suddenly.

"Mother, keep your voice down!" Master Su said dissatisfiedly: "You want to let everyone know about this matter, don't you?"

"What did you do with all that money?" Mrs. Su lowered her voice, but the expression on her face was still full of shock.It's a pity that after she heard the following sentence, her face immediately turned green.

"Son, my son used it to gamble and lost it all." Eldest Master Su lowered his head, his voice was like a mosquito, and he didn't dare to look up at Mrs. Su's face at all.

The old lady Su felt dizzy in an instant. She was still worrying about the dowry, but her son made such a big mess for her, oh my god!What will she have to pay back so much money!
"You, you bastard! Are you trying to destroy the uncle's mansion?" After a long time, old lady Su gritted her teeth and said.

"Mother, my son doesn't want to!" Hearing this, the old man Su raised his head instantly, his face full of helplessness: "My son promises you that I will never gamble again! Let Xiyun help my son this time!"

"If there was no Uncle Cheng's mansion, and if I were not here, would she have such a good marriage? All of this is due to us! Now it's just a small favor from her, she dares to refuse!" The old master will show his shamelessness to the fullest.

After hearing this, Mrs. Su was speechless for a long time.

"Has His Royal Highness found you here?" After a long time, Mrs. Su asked hoarsely.

Master Su raised his head and looked at his mother cautiously, before replying: "Not yet, but the officials found out earlier have all been dismissed from their posts, my son wants Xiyun to ask His Highness King Rong for a favor first." In this way, when it's my son's turn, he won't be so unlucky."

"But since His Highness King Rong knew that you were Xiyun's uncle, he wouldn't have attacked you, right?" Mrs. Su said with some puzzlement, "There's no need for Xiyun to say this at all."

"Mother, you don't understand!" Grandpa Su sighed and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Rong is a master who does not recognize his relatives. Among the officials before, there are also relatives with him, but he handles the same. That's why my son asked you to tell Xiyun!"

When Mrs. Su heard this, a few traces of surprise appeared on her face. She lowered her head and looked at her son. From Mr. Su's expression, she could see that this matter was true.

"Okay, when Xiyun comes back from the palace, mother will tell her about it." Old Madam Su finally let go.

But Master Su didn't relax after hearing this, on the contrary, he became even more nervous: "Mother! No way! His Royal Highness Rong Wang has been investigating the case for two days. When Xiyun comes back from the palace by herself, I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait!”

"Then what should we do?" Hearing what the old man said, Mrs. Su also became anxious.

"We must find a way to let Xiyun leave the palace and come back earlier!" Elder Su said.

"I'm just an old woman in a deep house, and I can't enter the palace. How can I get Xiyun out of the palace? Are you kidding me?" Old man Su said speechlessly.

Master Su immediately fell silent.

"How about letting Qianyun also enter the palace to greet the empress, and then let her bring news to Xiyun by the way?" Elder Su asked tentatively.This was his purpose from the beginning.With Mrs. Su alone, it is natural that Su Xiyun cannot be invited out of the palace, and only members of the Bai family can enter the palace to do this.

"No! Qianyun is pregnant, it will be bad if something happens!" Mrs. Su categorically vetoed it.

When Mr. Su saw this, he immediately "thumped!" He knelt down in front of Mrs. Su, and said with tears in his eyes: "Mother, in your heart, is the son or the nephew more important? You are worried about the things in Qianyun's stomach Son, don't you worry about your son? If you don't find Xiyun as soon as possible, your son's official position will be lost!"

When Mrs. Su heard this, the expression on her face suddenly relaxed a little. She glanced at Mr. Su, and said with a serious expression: "Does it have to be like this?"

"Mother, it's just going to sit in the empress's Kunning Palace. What can happen? Are you making too much fuss? Qianyun will be fine!" Elder Su continued: "Besides, Jingzhong How many pregnant wives have gone to the palace to visit the empress, aren't they all okay?"

When Mrs. Su heard this, although she still felt something was wrong, she couldn't find any words to refute.

"Mother, just promise your son!" Elder Su said with tears in his eyes, "I beg you, son!"

Seeing her son's pitiful appearance, Mrs. Su's heart finally softened. She sighed and said, "Okay, mother just made this trip for you."

"Thank you, mother!" Grandpa Su finally showed a slight smile on his face, against the two lines of teardrops, it looked very funny.

The old lady Su couldn't help stretching out her hand, slowly wiped off the two lines of teardrops with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "Remember, only this time, if you go to gamble next time, mother will not save you again Already!"

Master Su's heart skipped a beat, and his whole body stiffened, but he soon relaxed.

Mrs. Su said this just to scare him. He is her son. If there is a real problem, can she really stand by and watch?He doesn't believe it.

After Mrs. Su wiped away her tears and went out to court, Mrs. Su packed her things and went out again. This time, her carriage went straight to the Bai family of Jing'an Hou Mansion.

The journey along the way was smooth, and when the carriage arrived at the gate of Bai's house, Mrs. Su asked someone to hand over a name card.

Seeing that it was the old lady of Cheng'an Bo's house, the butler of the White House immediately didn't dare to neglect her, and rushed back to report the news while inviting someone in.

Old Madam Su waited at the door for a while, then she saw a gorgeously dressed lady coming out of the door.

"Old lady, what kind of wind brought you here today?" Before old lady Su could speak, the noble lady came forward with a smile on her face.
