imperial concubine

Chapter 57

Sure enough, after hearing Su Lin's words, Su Huaiyuan was furious, "There was never anything wrong? Then what happened last night? If your mother has never made any mistakes in these years, how could it happen last night?" That kind of thing!"

Su Lin never imagined that his father, who usually looks rough and bold, could speak so sharply. In just a few words, he was speechless as a talented editor of the Imperial Academy.

Seeing that Su Lin fell silent, Su Huaiyuan still talked vigorously, "Aside from these things, what happened to you last night? Even your two aunts arrived, but you were the last one to arrive. You are so deaf after studying books. Lost?"

Facing his father who was like an angry lion, Su Lin could only remain silent.When the incident happened last night, he was waiting for news in his room.Unexpectedly, Zhai Lingxiao was captured alive.In order to avoid suspicion, Su Lin had to pretend to be late.

Su Huaiyuan scolded Su Lin and the Da Furen, and first warned the Da Furen that if something goes wrong in the future, the affairs of the Marquis Mansion will be handled by others; then Su Lin was fined for three months. Yinzi, let him reflect on his mistakes.

After announcing his punishment, Su Huaiyuan left the Hou Mansion angrily.Recently, there have been some conflicts between North Korea and Daliang on the border. Su Huaiyuan must keep an eye on the border situation and report to the emperor as soon as there is news.

After Su Huaiyuan left, everyone who had dinner in the hall naturally dispersed.Zhuru helped Su Wan back to the small courtyard, her face was full of joy and joy.

Su Wan sat at the table, seeing the happy smile on Zhuru's face, her mood became better after being affected by her, and she couldn't help asking: "Zhuru, you are so happy today, but what happy event is coming?"

Although Su Huaiyuan scolded Da Furen and Su Lin in the side hall just now, Su Wan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.So, it wasn't until now that Su Wan saw the joy on Zhuru's face.

Hearing the lady's question, Zhuru brought the freshly poured hot tea in front of the lady, and said with a smile: "Seeing that the master has severely punished the eldest lady and vented his anger on behalf of the lady, Zhuru is naturally happy in her heart. "

Zhuru's words flashed through Su Wan's heart like a bolt of lightning, and in just a moment, Su Wan thought why she always felt something was wrong today.Because, for this matter, Su Huaiyuan's punishment for the mother and son was too light.

Naturally, Da Furen needless to say, but was severely reprimanded by Su Huaiyuan, compared to this matter, it was almost equivalent to no punishment.Although Su Lin was fined a three-month monthly payment, it is not impossible for the eldest lady who holds the power of the Marquis Mansion to give Su Lin a double amount of money later.Both punishments were too light.

Could it be that Su Huaiyuan didn't see yesterday that the lady was leading the matter, so he was punished like this?Thinking of this, Su Wan shook her head lightly, no, Su Huaiyuan definitely saw it last night, otherwise she wouldn't have told herself to stop at that moment.

Then why did Su Huaiyuan take it so seriously?After thinking for a long time, Su Wan realized that her previous thinking was too simple, and she didn't think carefully about how Su Huaiyuan would handle this matter.

And Zhuru at the table looked at the young lady shaking her head, and asked suspiciously: "Miss, this is the first time the master has reprimanded the wife and the eldest young master in recent years, isn't this something to be happy about?"

If she was just an ordinary daughter of the Hou family, and her father valued her so much, she would naturally be very happy.But I am not an ordinary daughter of the Hou family, what I want is not for my father to reprimand the eldest lady, but to completely control the power of the Hou family.

This time was originally a good opportunity, but it was a pity that I didn't make good use of it and could only watch it slip away.Thinking of this, Su Wan said to Zhuru: "Of course I'm not happy. Because my father didn't actually reprimand them, but just mentioned them in disguise."

These words are difficult for Zhuru to understand.This morning the master clearly scolded the eldest lady and the young master severely in the side hall, how could the young lady say that the master did not reprimand them at all, but just reminded them?

Seeing the puzzled expression on Zhuru's face, Su Wan asked Zhuru back, "What do you think the master reprimanded the eldest lady and the young master for this morning?"

Although she didn't know the meaning of Miss asking this question, Zhuru still said honestly: "Of course it's because last night, Miss, a thief entered your boudoir. Da Furen has the responsibility of being lax."

Hearing Zhuru's answer, Su Wan smiled wryly.At first, I also thought that it was because of this that Su Huaiyuan scolded the eldest lady severely, but after returning, Su Wan thought about it carefully, and the matter was not what she thought at all.

In my original idea, after this incident, even if Su Huaiyuan didn't take back all her power, she would definitely take back part of all of her powers, but unexpectedly, Su Huaiyuan just reprimanded the two of them and then settled the matter .

After returning, hearing Zhuru's words just now, Su Wan finally understood Su Huaiyuan's strange attitude.Su Wan sighed and said, "You're wrong. It's not because of this that my father scolded the young master and madam today."

Su Wan took a sip of tea, and then said to Zhuru: "The reason why my father reprimanded the two of them today is because of two points, first, the method used is too low; disappointed."

In Su Huaiyuan's heart, there was no such thing as Su Wan meeting the thief. He just saw that Su Lin and the eldest lady performed extremely badly in this matter, so he took advantage of this matter to warn them severely. some.

Zhuru on the side frowned and asked: "But this has nothing to do with what happened last night. Besides, the eldest young master is an editor of the Imperial Academy at a young age, how can you let the master down?"

Looking at Zhuru in front of her, Su Wan sighed inwardly.This is the person I will rely on in the future.It's a pity, it seems that I still have to teach well, so that Zhu Rufang can grow up quickly and become my arm.

Thinking of this, Su Wan patiently explained to Zhuru: "Let's talk about the first point, I got the news in advance yesterday, so I was able to capture the flower thief in one fell swoop, but if I didn't get the news, the flower thief succeeded What should I do?"

When Zhuru heard this, a sad look appeared on her face, and she said in a low voice: "I'm afraid, Miss will have a very difficult life in the rest of her life. However, Zhuru will definitely be by Miss's side."

Although Su Wan was very moved when she heard Zhuru's words, what she wanted Zhuru to understand was not this at all, but something else.It is not the superficial meaning of this matter, but the meaning given to it by others.

Looking at the young lady's eyes, Zhuru stabilized her emotions, then pouted and said: "If the flower picker really succeeds, I'm afraid that the lady will spread the news everywhere. At that time, the young lady's face will be lost." Finished."

Seeing that Zhuru finally realized something, Su Wan nodded, and said persuasively, "Then what else? Besides mine, who else will lose face?"

Zhuru blinked her eyes and thought for a while, then said: "There is also the face of the master, such a big Hou's mansion can let a flower picker come in, the face of the master must be very ugly."

Su Wan, who was sitting at the table, saw that Zhuru finally realized what she meant, nodded and said, "That's right. If the flower pickers succeed, not only I, but also the entire mighty Marquis Mansion will be ashamed. So this kind of embarrassment The method of doing it was reprimanded by my father."

If the flower pickers really succeeded last night, I'm afraid Su Huaiyuan would not dare to go out to meet people for a while.The dignified Lord Hou, who is still in charge of the Zuo Daying in the capital, the young lady in his mansion was insulted by the flower pickers, it really makes people laugh out loud.

Hearing Su Wan's affirmative voice, Zhuru went on to say: "Then the young master was reprimanded by the master because this matter was too obscene? But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the young master."

Su Wan at the table looked at the tea in his hand, and there were tea leaves rising and falling in the tea, "Su Lin was not reprimanded because of this matter. However, although this matter seems to have nothing to do with him, he definitely came up with the idea .”

During this period of time, although the eldest lady wanted to bully herself everywhere, she actually succeeded only a few times.Moreover, Da Furen's methods are very simple, and she can see through them at a glance, but this time's methods are obviously different from the previous ones.

The method this time is extremely vicious, and he will put himself to death as soon as he makes a move.And there was no rumor about this plan before, if he hadn't been warned by Huo Jing, I'm afraid he would have fallen into it already.Da Furen definitely does not have such sophisticated methods.

Thinking of this, Su Wan continued: "It's just that Su Lin's trick is too vicious, and my father doesn't like it. The most important thing is that my father has always regarded Su Lin as his successor. Not only did Su Lin use such a dirty trick this time, but he also asked his father to help him tidy up afterward, so his father would naturally not be satisfied."

After hearing Su Wan's explanation, Zhu Ru nodded half-understanding, "So that's the case. I didn't expect that there are so many things behind such a seemingly simple thing."

Zhuru was still pondering Su Wan's words carefully, but Su Wan's thoughts had drifted far away.This incident not only allowed me to see clearly my father's love for the eldest lady, but more importantly, let me see clearly Su Lin's position in my father's heart.

Although his strongest enemy now is the eldest lady, the reason why the eldest lady can gain a foothold in the Hou's mansion, and still stand so firmly, is all because of Su Lin.Su Lin is his father's successor, so the eldest lady cannot fail.

If he wanted to control the entire mighty marquis mansion, he would naturally have to defeat the eldest lady. If he wanted to defeat the eldest lady, he had to get rid of Su Lin first, at least he couldn't be allowed to stay in the position of the young master.It's just that this task is a bit too difficult.

If you want to get rid of Su Lin, you must not do it from within the Hou Mansion.Su Huaiyuan only has such a son who has become a weapon, if he shakes Su Lin's status from the Houfu, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg.If he wanted Su Huaiyuan to give up his son completely, he had to make some big noises to make Su Huaiyuan completely give up on Su Lin!

Thinking of this, Su Wan couldn't help thinking of Yuan Yilan at the Nobile Banquet, her eyes lit up again, and then she wrote a letter and handed it to Zhuru, "Send this letter to me The address I gave you. If someone asks you, who wrote this letter."

Su Wan's eyes gradually glowed, "Just tell him that the phoenix is ​​nirvana, and he will naturally understand."
