imperial concubine

Chapter 65
The three of them drank in the garden until dusk.Back in the small courtyard, Su Wan sat at the table and thought about today's events. Judging from Jiang's words, Mrs. Ru, who was kicked out of the mansion back then, should have a father's own son.

However, if this is the case, even if Mrs. Ru is kicked out, that son should stay in the mansion.After all, it was his father's blood, even if his mother was at fault, the mansion would not even implicate innocent children.

Zhuru walked in through the curtain, put the hangover soup just brought from the kitchen in front of Su Wan, and said softly, "Miss, the hangover soup you want is ready."

Su Wan was in deep thought and never heard Zhu Ru's words.He just thought that this matter was too strange, maybe it was Jiang's deliberate trap for himself.

Looking at the hangover soup that was gradually dissipating, Zhuru tapped Su Wan's shoulder lightly, and then said, "Miss, drink it quickly. Otherwise it will be cold in a while."

After being touched by Zhuru, Su Wan woke up from her contemplation, looked at Zhuru and asked strangely: "Ah, what's wrong?"

Zhuru didn't expect Su Wan to be so engrossed in thinking about the problem, so she covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Miss, if you don't drink your hangover soup, it will be completely cold."

It was only then that Su Wan saw that there was still a small delicate celadon bowl on the table. Although the heat inside was gone, she could still feel warmth at the touch, obviously not completely cooled.

I didn't even think about it just now, whether this is a trap set by the Jiang family.He only thought that he was a little drunk, so he asked Zhuru to go to the kitchen to make himself a bowl of hangover soup.Never thought it would be done so quickly.

Picking up the small warm bowl, Su Wan nodded and said, "I see." She picked up the small spoon and drank the soup slowly.

Zhuru watched Su Wan drink the soup, and asked curiously: "Miss, what were you thinking just now? Are you thinking so engrossed?"

Su Wan, who was drinking the soup, put down the spoon and was about to tell Zhuru, but suddenly thought that Zhuru was a little older than herself, and had stayed in the mansion longer than herself, so she might know some details about it.

Thinking about it, Su Wan took Zhuru's hand, let Zhuru sit beside her, and asked softly, "Zhuru, let me ask you, how long have you been in the Marquis' mansion?"

Zhuru pursed her lips and thought for a while and said, "The servant girl entered the mansion when she was six years old. After careful calculation, it has been 12 years now."

Su Wan nodded, and then said to Zhuru: "Since you entered the mansion when you were six years old, do you know how many wives your father has?"

Hearing Su Wan ask this question, Zhuru gave Su Wan a strange look, and then said cautiously: "The master has two wives. One is the current eldest lady, and the other is the young lady's mother. Unfortunately, the lady go early”

Speaking of this, Zhuru's eye circles turned red.In the past when Su Wan's mother was around, the two of them lived extremely happily, not much different from the young lady in Beppu.It's a pity that when the sky changed three years ago, the lives of the two fell from the sky to the ground.

Looking at Zhuru's red eye circles, Su Wan patted the back of her hand lightly to comfort her, but she was thinking in her heart, if there were really only two wives, why did the Jiang family set up a trap with such obvious flaws?Why did Yuan's attitude suddenly change?

While Su Wan was in doubt, she heard Zhuru say: "Miss, there seems to be another lady, but this lady has not been seen since Zhuru entered the mansion. I heard from the women who stayed in the mansion for a long time, That lady was kicked out of the house."

Hearing Zhuru's words, Su Wan's eyes suddenly lit up.Sure enough, what Jiang said was not a lie!No wonder Yuan's complexion changed so quickly today, it turned out to be true!

Thinking of this, Su Wan tightly grasped Zhuru's hand and asked, "Oh, tell me, what happened to the lady who was kicked out of the mansion? Why was she driven out of the mansion?"

If there is such a thing, and the lady gave birth to a son.Why should I use Yuan Shi and Su Qing?Wouldn't it be easier for a boy with no power to recognize his ancestors and inherit the throne by himself than Su Qing?
Seeing that the young lady was so excited, Zhuru said timidly: "That was before I entered the mansion. According to those wives, it was because the lady had an affair with another man and was pregnant, so the master did it. kicked her out of the house."

Although Zhuru's words were very short, it had already made Su Wan sort out a lot of things.My father did have such a wife back then, and she was indeed pregnant when he was kicked out.In this way, what Jiang said was not a lie.

After Zhuru finished speaking, seeing the young lady stopped talking, she hurriedly asked: "Miss, why are you asking this? Few people know about this matter, I still listen to the old lady I followed."

Su Wan was thinking about it, if what happened back then was true, then she wouldn't have to reverse the case for that lady.If the events back then were false, wouldn't it mean that the child conceived by the lady was the father's blood?
The candlelight in the room danced lightly, Su Wanfeng blinked a few times, and then asked Zhuru, "Is the mother-in-law who told you about this matter still alive? Do you two have any contact?"

If we can find the old man back then, we may be able to find out the truth.If the lady really had an affair with someone else, it was just a waste of effort; if the lady was really wronged, wouldn't she just get an excellent opportunity for nothing?

Zhuru nodded and said: "Well, I still often visit that mother-in-law. It's just that there are too many things recently, but I haven't visited her for a long time. I don't know how she is."

Hearing Zhuru's answer, Su Wan was very satisfied, nodded and said: "You go to see her at that mother-in-law's house tomorrow, and ask her clearly about what happened back then. Remember, you must ask clearly. It worked out great for me."

Although she didn't know what the lady wanted to do when she asked about this matter, Zhuru still readily agreed.

Su Wan was in a good mood, she finished drinking the hangover soup in a short while, and then handed the empty bowl to Zhuru.

Zhuru turned around to go out, but she came back halfway, and said to Su Wan: "Miss, someone sent you a message today, saying that you are invited to see the Pearl tomorrow."

Hearing Zhuru's words, Su Wan's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, Fang Yuanli, you can't help it at last.

Outside the window, the jade rabbit falls to the west, the sun rises to the east, and the sky and the earth gradually brighten up.

Su Wan sat in front of the dressing table, carefully looking at the clothes that Zhuru found.Today I am going to go out to attend Fang Yuanli's appointment.If you say hello to Da Furen, it will definitely arouse her suspicion.Su Wan decided to disguise herself as a man and sneak out of the house.

Just now Zhuru was asked to find a few men's clothes and accessories.After a while Zhuru came back with a bunch of things.There are men's clothes, a sachet for going out, and a few belts.

Looking at the clothes in front of her, Su Wan reached out to pick among them.After a while, he just picked out a black Shuide robe from among them, and gestured with the robe on his body, "Zhuru, what do you think of me wearing this?"

Zhuru nodded and said: "Okay, the young lady is born beautiful and beautiful, and she looks great in everything she wears."

Su Wan smiled, and asked Zhuru to put on the black Shuide robe for herself.Although the clothes are a bit old, they are washed very clean. Not only do they not look worn out, but they look more calm.After Su Wan finished wearing it, Zhuru looked up and was stunned.

I saw the person in front of him wearing a black Shuide gown, a blue thunder belt tied around his waist, and a pair of phoenix eyes, looking forward and looking mighty.Although his stature is a little thin, he looks gentle.The fly in the ointment is that she wears a woman's bun on her head, which looks a bit nondescript.

After Su Wan put it on, she looked at the bronze mirror on the table. Although the dress was a bit old, it fit it perfectly, so she nodded slightly.Then he sat in front of the dressing table and asked Zhuru to comb a man's hair for himself, put on a hair crown belt, and hang the sachet on his waist.This is the end of the make-up.

After changing, Su Wan turned to look at Zhuru and asked, "How about my makeup?"

The person in front of him has a pale and rosy complexion, two beautiful eyebrows like unsheathed swords, a pair of phoenix eyes like stars in the sky, a nose like a gall, and red lips, extremely handsome!
After Zhuru was stunned for a long while, she said: "Miss's outfit really fits perfectly." Su Wan also nodded in satisfaction, and then felt that there was nothing wrong with her, so she said to Zhuru: "You don't need to wear it today." Follow me."

Seeing the young lady put on men's clothes and not letting herself follow, Zhuru felt a little strange, "Miss, if I don't follow you, who will serve you? Let me follow."

Judging by the young lady's makeup, there must be extremely important things to do today.If you don't follow the lady, what will you do if the lady has something to do?
Su Wan shook her head and said: "I have very important things to do today, even you can't take them with you. What's more, you have things to do today. We, master and servant, will divide into two groups, and we will come back here tonight Meet."

Hearing that the lady said that there was an extremely important thing to do, Zhuru knew in her heart that it was definitely inconvenient for the lady to take her there, so she stopped begging.It's just that the lady said that she also has something to do today, why didn't she remember the lady's order?

After thinking about it carefully, Zhuru finally remembered that last night, the young lady asked her to go to Grandma Rui's place today, to find out about the lady who was kicked out of the Hou's mansion back then.

Su Wan tidied up her clothes, and then told Zhuru, "When you go to that mother-in-law's place today, you must find out what happened back then, especially if this madam was wronged back then, or did she really have an affair with someone?" .”

Zhuru nodded, indicating that she understood.Then he looked at Su Wan worriedly, frowned slightly and said, "Miss, why don't you wait in the mansion for a while! When I come back from Grandma Rui, we two go out together."

Looking at Zhuru's worried face, she seemed to be afraid that she would be fooled once she left the house.Su Wan said with a smile: "Don't worry. Although you have rarely left the house in recent years, your young lady is not that easy to be deceived. Don't worry."

Although Zhuru nodded, she was still a little worried from the look on her face.Su Wan shook her head, and then said to Zhuru: "Then I'll go first, and when I come back at night, you have to tell me the details."

After saying that, Su Wan strode out of the room, only Zhu Ru stayed in the room with a worried face.

Su Wan came out of her small courtyard, saw that there was no one around, and then quietly slipped out through the back door.Just as Su Wan went out, a servant stood up from under a flower tree. He ran to the door to say hello, and then walked towards the lady's room.
