Resourceful beauty

Chapter 12
"Not to mention that the case has been retried now, there must be a turning point. Even if there is no turning point, it is not appropriate for you to rush back to your mother's house like this. You know how ugly the words outside are now, so, Before things get to the worst, you'd better go back quickly. After New Year's Eve, you, the hostess of the house, is not in the palace, so you may provoke a lot of tongue-in-cheek."

In the main room of Cunhuiyuan, the second entrance of Su's residence, a middle-aged woman over fifty years old tried to persuade Su Yuandao.

"Auntie, how can I not know what you said? But, if you go back in such a despondent manner, not to mention my face, even the face of the Su Mansion may be gone..."

Su Yuan said with a depressed face.

Hearing this, the corner of the middle-aged woman's mouth twitched slightly.

This woman is the Miao family of the second room, who is now taking care of the second wife of Su's family.

There was no one else in the room at the moment, otherwise, if someone saw such a scene, their jaws would drop in shock.

Su Yuan is a prince and concubine, a first-rank princess. Although the Miao family is also a first-rank wife, one must be careful when seeing Su Yuan as a princess, but in private, the two of them seem to have lost their stature.

However, when Su Yuan was able to become Teng's concubine to marry King Qi, and later when Princess Qi died of illness, Su Yuan was able to successfully become a second concubine, and the Miao family contributed a lot in it. Miao's family is also clear, so Su Yuan is still a little afraid to have such a handle in the hands of Miao's family.

Miao sighed helplessly, "Could it be that you are still waiting for King Qi to carry the sedan chair to invite you back?"

As soon as she said that she had lifted the sedan chair eight times, Su Yuan's face suddenly became a little ugly.

Although she is now the justifiable Princess Qi, when she married into the Prince Qi's mansion, she was an inconspicuous concubine. Moreover, she entered the Prince Qi's mansion with a bridal sedan chair, not at all like Su Xin. The big sedan chair was carried in from the main entrance.

Therefore, every time it was mentioned, Su Yuan felt a little bit sad like a scar was being exposed.

Knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Miao was afraid that she would be difficult to get along with if she was offended, so she gently patted her arm and said, "You, don't be petty. You will still be Princess Qi when King Qi is alive, otherwise , in this world, apart from your natal family, who else would take you seriously? Your status, as well as your usual face, all point to the person next to your pillow. When it's so important, don't move Shoot yourself in the foot with a stone. Listen to me, pack up your things and go back, spend the New Year peacefully, and when everything is over, everything will be fine."

Seeming to have known such a result for a long time, Su Yuan nodded numbly.

After leaving Cunhui Garden, it was already dark, and Su Yuan's steps gradually became quicker.

After returning to the house, she ordered Qiushuang, the personal servant girl, to take someone to pack the box and make it soft. Su Yuan took the three children to the house of Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su.

After saying goodbye and coming out again, the snow outside was already ankle-deep.

A group of people walked back to Prince Qi's mansion. Sure enough, Prince Qi's mansion did not intend to send someone to invite him back. The front door was locked early, and after a long time of patting, the old butler came to answer the door. .

In the Yixin Palace, King Qi and his sons and daughters were talking and laughing.

Seeing Su Yuan go and come back, just as Fang Ruxuan said, King Qi's eyes slid across her face involuntarily.

In the afternoon, Fang Ruxuan sent Su Yuan and her party away, and when they returned to Meilin, they vowed that they would come back before New Year's Eve. King Qi was noncommittal about this.

Since we can't share weal and woe, we don't need the vigil for this family reunion, but Fang Ruxuan said that face is still important.

Now, they really came back.

Su Yuan came in a hurry, Fang Ruyu, Fang Zhengruo and Fang Ruhui were on the left, and on the right was Wu Shi, the side concubine who escaped with her from Prince Qi's Mansion in the north of Jiangbei, and her daughter Fang Ruhua.

"My lord, I brought my side concubine and the children back. What happened at noon was all about me chasing rumors. Is it my fault? I hope my lord will forgive me for what happened to me. This is no exception."

Su Yuan leaned over to confess to King Qi.

Seeing that King Qi remained silent for a long time, Su Yuan got up again, walked up to Fang Ruxuan and said softly: "Xuan'er, I also listened to those servants and wronged you. Now that our family is rarely reunited, don't be angry with mother. How are you?"

In the past when she was like this, Fang Ruxuan would timidly avoid her, even saying "Don't dare".

But this time, Fang Ruxuan stood up, looked up at Su Yuan and said with a smile: "Princess Wang is joking. Mother knows that I am the most obedient and lovely person, and I never make her angry."

Intimacy stands out.

In Fang Ruxuan's eyes, there was only one person in her mother from beginning to end, and that was Su Xin, the princess of Qi Wang.

Su Yuan hated her teeth sorely.

But knowing that if King Qi saw something wrong, today's softness would be considered a waste of all previous efforts, Su Yuan opened the corners of her lips and made a soft smile, and said nothing more.

On the side, King Qi sighed inaudibly, waved his hands and said: "Since you're back, let's go back to the house and get ready, and come over to watch the new year."

Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over to thank her, and turned to leave the main hall.

Behind him, King Qi's order to his servants sounded: "Go, go to Xilan Pavilion and invite Concubine Shen and Miss Seven to watch the New Year together at night."

Su Yuan paused, and then left the Yixin Hall even more hastily.

Prince Qi’s mansion in Jiangbei has been confiscated, and all the family property has been filled into the treasury. When King Qi went to Beijing to defend himself, he voluntarily submitted all the criminal evidence seized from Prince Qi’s mansion to the treasury, and also put the [-] cavalry in his hands into the treasury. After handing it over, His Majesty was moved and sent the case back to Dali Temple for trial.

As a result, the current Prince Qi's Mansion is an empty shelf.

Su Yuan and the others escaped from Prince Qi's Mansion in a hurry, and they didn't have much to pack now. In less than half an hour, a group of people gathered in the Yixin Palace again.

The two tables of banquets that were prepared temporarily seemed to be quite sumptuous, but they were quite different from before. However, at this critical moment, no one was in the mood to care about it.

King Qi's eyes lingered over everyone's faces, and immediately said with some bitterness: "It's really rare for our family to have the day of reunion today. Everything in the past will be a thing of the past after today. I hope that in the future In these days, you all must be strict with yourself, don't do anything wrong, and let my Prince Qi's mansion fall into a place where there will never be redemption."

Everyone agreed in a low voice.

King Qi waved his hand, signaling them to move their chopsticks.

After a dinner, everyone was a bit hungry, and it was almost past midnight. The fireworks outside lit up the entire night sky. After the silence, everyone sat down again.

There was no laughter, no fireworks, this was the simplest and crudest New Year's Eve in the history of Prince Qi's Mansion.

But after experiencing the catastrophe of being imprisoned, it is not easy for everyone to be able to sit together and share a family relationship.

She winked at Concubine Wu who was beside her, and then glanced at the children. Su Yuan led everyone to stand up, bowing down and congratulating them all.

"My concubine wishes the prince peace and health, and a long life."

"Son/Daughter wishes father and king peace and success, and a healthy life forever."

There was finally a little smile on King Qi's face.

After beckoning them to sit down, King Qi said softly, "It's been four years in Rui'an, and it's a new year. I hope you are all safe and healthy."

The outside fell silent again, and everyone in the Yixin Hall also dispersed.

Looking at Su Yuan who was staring at him eagerly, King Qi waved his hand, "I will enter the palace tomorrow to greet you, so let's rest early."

Unwilling, Su Yuan led everyone out of the Yixin Hall.

After traveling around with Su Yuan for so many days, Concubine Wu was already exhausted. Although she settled in the Su Mansion later, she was a guest after all, and everything was not as casual as in her own home. Now everything is over, and Concubine Wu rushed Su Yuan saluted, and hurried back to her courtyard with her daughter.

On the other side, concubine Shen Shi had finished enjoying the fireworks when she was still a child, and then took the sick daughter back to rest.

With no one else around, Su Yuan's smiling face froze all night before drooping.

Looking back at the Yixin Palace, which was more splendid and beautiful in the night, there was a sneer on the corner of Su Yuan's lips: here, sooner or later, she will live in it in a fair manner.

As if guessing what was on her mother's mind, Fang Ruyu said with a smile: "Mother, the new year is here, and my daughter wishes you all your wishes come true and everything goes smoothly."

The eldest daughter has been well-behaved since she was a child, and she knows her own thoughts best. Seeing what she said at this moment, Su Yuan showed a comfortable smile.

Looking at the three children, Su Yuan said softly: "Yu'er, Ru'er, Hui'er, in this life, as long as there is a mother, it doesn't matter if you fight or grab, mother will definitely give you the best."

After all, the mother and son returned to their respective dorms with their servants.

In Shu Yuxuan, Fang Ruxuan sat in front of the dressing table, letting Su Ye comb her long hair.

On the side, Ding Xiang said worriedly while making the bed: "Miss, how do you know that there is a hidden compartment on the dressing table of the princess, and there is a divorce letter in it? If the princess becomes angry and messes with your marriage in the future, I will suffer a lot." But it's you. Even if you want to force the princess back, you shouldn't use such a risky trick."

In the previous life, her father and elder brother were escorted to Ningbei to serve, and Fang Ruxuan was dropped off halfway, and then entered the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But Su Yuan escaped with the letter of divorce in her hand.

The date of issuance of the letter of divorce was October of the third year of Ryan, which was exactly two months before the incident.

After reliving the first life, Fang Ruxuan guessed many things that she didn't know in the previous life based on the clues she already knew. Therefore, the cunning outside the gate in the afternoon made Su Yuan panic.

Both Ding Xiang and Su Ye are people whom Fang Ruxuan can fully trust. Fang Ruxuan did not hide anything about what she was going to do. From the previous arrangements to spread rumors to today's events, Fang Ruxuan told them the truth.

Fang Ruxuan smiled disapprovingly, "She will subdue, so naturally I will too. It is childish for me to argue with her, but can she argue with me?"

If Su Yuan could, then she probably wouldn't be able to run away due to her stepmother's mean reputation.

Fang Ruxuan's smile became softer.
