imperial concubine

Chapter 76
Su Wan, who had already reached the door, was startled, her hands clenched into fists involuntarily.Su Lin turned his head and glanced at his father, then at Su Wan who lowered his head, frowned, and left from the study.

Su Wan turned around, lowered her head slightly, and asked in a low voice: "I wonder what father wants to say to Wan'er?" Fortunately, Su Lin was blocked by his sleeve just now, so that Su Lin could not see his clenched hands , otherwise Su Lin would definitely be able to guess something.

But then Su Wan felt relieved, Su Huaiyuan would definitely not know what she was doing.The Yuan family and the Jiang family are on the same boat as himself, so it is impossible for him to take the initiative to inform; the women in the small courtyard have already been tidied up by himself.

Looking at Su Wan in front of him, Su Huaiyuan sighed slightly.Although this daughter didn't show Su Hui when she was young, she didn't expect that in recent years, she has shown her sharpness, and she has a faint trace of unrestricted domineering aura.

Thinking of this, Su Huaiyuan shook his head. It's a pity that although Wan'er is a late bloomer, she is only a daughter after all. If not, why should he put all his efforts on Su Lin?
Su Huaiyuan suppressed all these messy thoughts, Wen Yan said to Su Wan: "Sit down. It's just you and my father and daughter now, so don't be too rigid about etiquette."

Hearing Su Huaiyuan's gentle tone, Su Wan knew that it was definitely not a bad thing for Su Huaiyuan to keep him here, and he even asked for something from him.Su Wan, who had settled down in her heart, thanked Su Huaiyuan, then walked to her seat and sat down again.

After sitting down, Su Wan just asked, "I don't know if my father left Wan'er behind, what important things do you want to say to Wan'er?"

While talking, Su Wan thought carefully about some things she had done recently.Every time I met with Jiang and Yuan, I kept it very secret. Su Huaiyuan certainly didn't find out that he had something personal with them.

He asked Hei Yi to do the search for the son whose father lived abroad, and the only people in the Hou Mansion who knew about it were himself and Zhuru.With Zhuru's loyalty to herself, she would never tell this matter to anyone else.

At this time, Su Huaiyuan suddenly opened his mouth and said in a very guilty tone: "Wan'er, my father is busy with government affairs in the court and military exercises all day long, so I rarely get together with you children. Now think about it." , feel very guilty for my father."

Hearing this, Su Wan was taken aback.As early as in the previous dynasty, Su Wan knew Su Huaiyuan's character, he was very fond of government and military affairs, and was always indifferent to family affairs; later when he came to the Hou's mansion, he knew that what he said was true .

Even if he fell into the water and almost lost his life, Su Huaiyuan never comforted himself.It wasn't until later that he became the winner of the golden hairpin that Su Huaiyuan's attitude towards him changed somewhat, but it was only a few subtleties.

The last time Su Wan was almost picked by Zhai Lingxiao, the reason why Su Huaiyuan was so angry was only a small part because of Su Wan himself, and more because Zhai Lingxiao's sneaking in made him lose a lot of face.

Therefore, Su Huaiyuan has always paid little attention to family matters, why would he say such a thing today?Even said he felt guilty?It seems that what Su Huaiyuan was going to say to himself today must be very important, and he actually asked him to use the trick of touching people with emotion.

Thinking of this, Su Wan immediately showed a look of panic, "Father is serious. Father is an important minister in the court and a pillar in the army. Naturally, he is busy with affairs. Wan'er has never complained about father."

Although he didn't know what Su Huaiyuan wanted to do, he still followed his words.If Su Huaiyuan asked him to do too much, it would be a big deal for him to prevaricate.

Hearing Su Wan's words, Su Huaiyuan sighed, and said slowly: "Wan'er, I am very pleased that you can take care of the overall situation. However, the Hou Mansion is now in an extremely dangerous situation. Father, I hope you can help Father's hand."

Seeing Su Huaiyuan's painful expression, Su Wan secretly laughed.It seems that Su Huaiyuan really had something to ask of himself, otherwise he would not have made the matter so serious, and even threatened himself with false words.

However, Su Wan's face still changed into a look of panic, and asked in a trembling voice: "Father, what happened to the Hou's Mansion, it has reached this point? Even you, Father, can't solve it?"

Although she was giggling in her heart, Su Wan still did not agree to Su Huaiyuan's request.She just turned the question around gently, trying to test what Su Huaiyuan wanted her to do.

Su Huaiyuan sighed heavily with a sad face, and then said to Su Wan: "Wan'er, you know, Lin'er has always been a young master who has been carefully cultivated for his father, and will be the future master of the mighty Marquis Mansion. I thought this time After the sutra feast, Lin'er will definitely be able to advance to a higher level in the court, but she never thought that she would be manipulated by Concubine Shu."

Su Wan is naturally very clear about these things.Otherwise, why did she plan to kick Su Lin down?If not, how could Su Wan put his own puppet in the position of Lord Hou, and then control the entire Hou Mansion?
The phoenix hairpin on her head lightened, and Su Wan said slowly, "Father, don't worry too much, the princess is very much loved by His Majesty. I think the rectification of the harem is just around the corner. By then, Su Lin's suffering now will naturally be doubled." .”

Su Wan didn't know how far the harem dispute had reached.It's just talking nonsense to keep Su Huaiyuan steady.As long as this period of time is delayed and Su Qing is supported by himself, then Su Huaiyuan can only follow the path he designed for him.

Su Huaiyuan reached out and tapped lightly on the table, and then said to Su Wan: "Of course I know these things. But Ruo Lin'er was not done by Concubine Shu at all?"

Hearing this, Su Wan was terrified!Could it be that Su Huaiyuan had such a keen insight that he could see that he was behind the scenes?Otherwise, why did Su Huaiyuan just stay in the study by himself?

Xiumei frowned, and her phoenix eyes turned slightly.Su Wan stabilized her mind, and then said: "If it wasn't Concubine Shu's instigation, who else would set up a trap for us behind our backs? What's more, it is not an easy matter to convince His Majesty."

Su Huaiyuan nodded slightly, his eyes revealed a look of thought.I have many opponents in the court, but this incident happened so suddenly, I couldn't tell who made the move for a while!

After a long time, Su Huaiyuan said to Su Wan: "Wan'er, you are right. However, whether this matter was done by Concubine Shu is still open to discussion. It's a pity that there are too few things for us to infer."

Hearing Su Huaiyuan's words, Su Wan nodded secretly.He is worthy of being a veteran who stands tall in the court.Looking at things, it is indeed much better than the second and third masters, not to mention Su Lin, a sesame seed official who has just entered the court.

Su Wan lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip tightly.After a long time, he said: "Since this is the case, it is better to let mother go to Mrs. Fang and ask. I think Mrs. Fang should know some secrets."

This is a dangerous move, the eldest lady has a very good relationship with Qi Ruobing, if the eldest lady asks, it will definitely alarm Yun Jingya.But if Yun Jingya intervenes, her plan will definitely encounter a lot of resistance.

It's just that Su Wan had to do this now. Su Huaiyuan said that this matter was suspicious, so he naturally had to come up with a solution for him.Except for Da Furen and himself, no one else in the mighty Marquis Mansion could find out the details of this incident.

Unexpectedly, Su Huaiyuan shook his head resolutely after hearing Su Wan's words, "Wan'er, although the Hou's Mansion is very close to the Prime Minister's Mansion, this matter is decided by His Majesty, and Princess Jingya must not know the details. Let alone Mrs. Fang."

Hearing that Su Huaiyuan rejected her proposal, Su Wan felt relieved.In this way, the resistance in the future will be much smaller.However, if this is not the case, how can Su Huaiyuan find out more information about this matter?
Is it possible to let yourself do it?But his own staff is only outside the palace, although he knows the inside story, he will never tell the whole story.Su Huaiyuan asked himself to do it, it was tantamount to asking for a fish, and he must not be so stupid after thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, Su Huaiyuan sighed and said, "Wan'er, I've been thinking about this matter, but it's the most appropriate for you to do it."

Unexpectedly, Su Huaiyuan actually asked himself to do it!Su Wan's eyebrows were tightly frowned, her own staff had just been organized, and the organization method was extremely secretive, how did Su Huaiyuan know?
Turning his eyes slightly, Su Wan frowned even more, pretending to be stupid and said: "Father, although Wan'er is the winner of the golden hairpin, it's just a false name. Wan'er has no chance to find out about the harem."

Even if Su Huaiyuan really knew that he had stopped a group of people, as long as he didn't have detailed evidence, then he just had to deny it to death.Thinking about it, Su Huaiyuan had nothing to do with himself.

Su Huaiyuan shook his head and said: "Father, of course I know that you have no chance to find out about the harem. It's just that it's not the right way to go to the harem to inquire about this matter. If you want to know the inside story of this matter, you have to find your Majesty's close ministers."

Hearing Su Huaiyuan's words, Su Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally knew why Su Huaiyuan left himself in the study today.Thinking about it, Su Huaiyuan must have learned about his tryst with Fang Yuanli, that's why Su Huaiyuan asked him to do it.

Thinking of this, Su Wan frowned and said: "Your Majesty's close minister? If it is really His Majesty's close minister, how would Wan'er know it? What's more, you have to find out from their mouths about the fact that your younger brother is going up and down? Father is too high Look at Wan'er."

Although Su Wan already understood Su Huaiyuan's plan, she still pretended to be stupid.He just waited for Su Huaiyuan to point out his relationship with Fang Yuanli.

Sure enough, Su Huaiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Su Wan and said, "There is no better way to know a daughter than a father. Wan'er, you know how much you have as a father. Wan'er, you and Mr. Fang hit it off right away. If you want to come from him, you should be able to know." Just a little bit of inside information."

Hearing Su Huaiyuan's words, Su Wan immediately lowered her head, as if someone had revealed some secret.It's just that he secretly thought in his heart, as expected, the matter between himself and Fang Yuanli was indeed known by Su Huaiyuan.

After a long time, Su Wan just objected in a very small voice: "What is the father talking about? My daughter has only met Mr. Fang a few times, so how can it be called hit-time?"

After she made the agreement with Fang Yuanli, Su Wan never wanted to hide it from anyone, and those disguises were just actions she had to do.Now that Su Huaiyuan knew about this, it was not beyond Su Wan's expectation.

Looking at Su Wan with a flushed face, Su Huaiyuan said with a smile, "Although I've only met you a few times, it doesn't prevent Mr. Fang from looking at you differently. After careful calculation, you have been to the Prime Minister's Mansion twice, right?"

Su Wan only visited the Prime Minister's Mansion once during the Hundred Flowers Poetry Meeting.Although Su Huaiyuan didn't care about the affairs of the back house, he definitely wouldn't misremember such trivial matters.Thinking about it, it must have included the tryst between Su Wan and Fang Yuanli's courtyard.

Knowing that it was useless for her to continue pretending to be stupid, Su Wan blushed and said, "Father saw the truth clearly, it was indeed twice."

Hearing Su Wan's confession, Su Huaiyuan couldn't help but nodded slightly. It seemed that Wan'er was ready to take over this matter.
