imperial concubine

Chapter 80
Su Huaiyuan never imagined that the successor he had carefully cultivated in the first half of his life would be forever put out of sight by His Majesty the Emperor just because of these four words, and he would never have the possibility of entering again.

For an official like Su Huaiyuan who has stood on the court for half his life, the most terrifying thing is not the rivalry among officials, let alone the attacks between factions, but the person who sits on the throne. Don't want to see myself again!

As long as that person has this intention, he will be attacked by countless people crazily, until the person on the throne issues a decree, or murder or kill, only then, one thing will be considered to be over.

Never thought that at such a young age, Su Lin was targeted by the man on the throne, or such an unpredictable thing!If it's something else, I can prove my loyalty to His Majesty in exchange for His Majesty's trust.

But now that Su Lin is in this situation, no matter what he does, His Majesty will only think that Su Lin is playing for him.Because Your Majesty has already doubted Su Lin from the bottom of his heart!
After a long time, Su Huaiyuan woke up from this blow, he felt as if he had suddenly aged ten years, and asked Su Wan in a hoarse voice, "What did Mr. Fang say in the end how to solve it? "

Just now Su Wan had told Su Huaiyuan about Fang Yuanli's solution, but he never thought that Su Huaiyuan would forget it so quickly.It seems that this blow to Su Huaiyuan is very huge, that's why this happened unexpectedly.

Before Su Wan could answer, Su Huaiyuan said to himself: "Oh, I remembered. Mr. Fang asked us to change people. But, where else can I find someone?"

The Su family is an aristocratic family in Beijing, and because of this, the various branches value the rising stars of their own family very much, and they will definitely not allow Su Huaiyuan to make such a replacement.

Su Wan, who was sitting at the bottom, looked at Su Huaiyuan, squinted her eyes slightly, and then said cautiously: "Why don't you go and have a look in the family. I heard that in recent years, there have been many rising stars in the family."

Among the four major families, a group of rising stars become famous every year.Therefore, Su Wan's proposal is very feasible. Even if the people recruited from the family are not as good as Su Lin, the difference will not be too great.

Unexpectedly, Su Huaiyuan, who was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, shook his head firmly, "Absolutely not. Those people in the family have long been eyeing the position of marquis. If they inherit the position of marquis, I'm afraid we will be kicked out in the future." Hou Mansion."

Hearing Su Huaiyuan's words, Su Wan nodded.The battles among the big families have always been extremely fierce, and there have always been more wolves than meat. Now if you go to the family to find someone, it is tantamount to luring wolves into the house.

Su Wan frowned and thought for a long time before slowly saying: "If that's the case, Wan'er has a suitable candidate who can succeed the Marquis. It's just that the eldest lady won't agree."

Just now Su Huaiyuan had blocked the family road, so the only way left is the adopted son and close relatives.Now that Su Wan came up with a way out, she wanted to force Su Huaiyuan to make a quick decision.

Su Huaiyuan, who had experienced a huge blow, leaned back on the grand teacher's chair, sighed and said, "Wan'er, just tell me who you can choose. Anyway, the Hou Mansion is at the end of its rope now, as long as it can be maintained."

The carefully cultivated successor can only give up just because of His Majesty's will.Fortunately, I asked Wan'er to go to Mr. Fang to inquire about it in advance. If she really thought that Concubine Shu was taking power, I'm afraid it would be too late for me to regret it in the future.

Su Wan glanced at Su Huaiyuan, but saw that he was resting with his eyes closed, so she said softly: "Su Qing in the second uncle's room grew up in the Hou's mansion since he was a child, and has always been close to us. Although he is not as talented as Su Lin, but he can also inherit the position of Marquis."

Although it is said that Su Qingcai can't learn well, it's because Su Qing is surrounded by either a talented lady like Su Wan or a talented young master like Su Lin. In this way, it seems that Su Qingcai doesn't learn enough.

But if you look at the capital, Su Qing's talents and learning are not top-notch, at least they are quasi-first-class.As long as it is well cultivated, it may not be impossible to go further to inherit the Marquis Mansion in the future.

Hearing Su Wan's suggestion, Su Huaiyuan didn't speak, but pressed his temple lightly.It was only after a long time that he asked: "Although Su Qing also grew up in the mansion, he has always been at odds with you. Will he make trouble for you in the future?"

On the surface, Su Huaiyuan's words were asking how Su Qing would treat Su Wan, but in fact he was asking what would Su Qing do to the eldest lady when he inherited the Marquis position in the future?You know, everyone in the Hou's mansion has resentment towards the eldest lady.

When Su Wan heard Su Huaiyuan's words, she knew that Su Huaiyuan was already tempted, but she was only worried about the status of the eldest lady, mother and child in the future.As long as these doubts in Su Huaiyuan's heart can be dispelled, it is certain that Su Qing will rise to the top position!

Thinking of this, Su Wan pondered for a moment and said, "With Su Qing's talent, even if he inherits the Marquis position in the future, it will be extremely difficult to deal with Su Lin. After all, Su Lin is much stronger than Su Qing."

At this time, it was an extremely simple fact. It was only because Su Huaiyuan was too shocked by Su Lin's incident that he didn't react for a while, so it was Su Wan's turn to remind Su Huaiyuan of this incident.

Su Wan went on to say: "What's more, even if Su Qing inherits the position of Marquis, the eldest lady still controls the Marquis Mansion. In this way, under the balance of the two, even if Su Qing wants to do something, he will definitely not dare to do too much." Excessive."

The hands pressing on the temples stopped suddenly, and then began to press gently again.Su Wan's words were too straightforward, and even a veteran like Su Huaiyuan thought about it for a long time when he heard it.

After a long while, Su Huaiyuan finally said: "I see. You go and tell the eldest lady that the whole family hasn't been together for a long time. Tonight, we will hold a dinner party in the back garden. Let's have a good get-together."

Hearing Su Huaiyuan's words, Su Wan knew that Su Huaiyuan had made up his mind at this time.Presumably, at the dinner tonight, Su Huaiyuan would definitely announce the decision of the two of them in the study today.

Looking at Su Huaiyuan, who was sitting on the teacher's chair, showing his old age, Su Qing shook his head quietly, then turned around and walked out of the study room, leaving only an old man who was nearly fifty years old, enduring loneliness alone.

When he went out, he saw Zhuru staring at each other with his father's two followers.Seeing this funny scene, Su Wan, who had just let go of the burden in her heart, couldn't help laughing.

Seeing the young lady coming out, Zhuru hurried to Su Wan's side.Su Wan took a few steps forward, and said to the two guards at the door: "You two young generals, just now Su Wan was anxious, and his words were quite rude. I hope the two young generals will not blame you."

The two soldiers standing at the door saw that Su Wan was so polite, and even apologized to themselves, the little resentment in their hearts disappeared immediately, and they blushed and said repeatedly: "Miss, you don't have to be like this, we were wrong just now. "

Su Wan shook her head and said: "It's my fault, it's my fault. You two don't have to worry about it. Su Wan still has something to do, so let's take a step first. Excuse me." Saying this, she saluted the two of them slightly, and then took Zhuru to find the eldest lady .

Seeing Su Wan's figure gradually drifting away, one of the soldiers said to the other: "No wonder everyone in the capital knows the name of Miss, and she is so approachable. You and I are really lucky today."

The other person also echoed repeatedly, praising that Su Wan is a rare and kind person. He has met so many young masters and ladies, but he has never seen a single person who would apologize to those in the ranks like himself.

After telling the eldest lady what his father said, Su Wan and Zhuru returned to the small courtyard.As soon as she sat down, Su Wan felt a pain in her body, and then she remembered that she had performed two scenes in a row today, and she hadn't felt tired at all just now.

It wasn't until now that I was free that I felt sore in my body. Sitting at the table, Su Wan called Zhuru over, "Zhuru, give me a squeeze on my shoulders. I ran two places in a row today, and I'm so tired."

Zhuru from outside the house hurried in, squeezed Su Wan's shoulders and beat her back.Zhuru's workmanship is excellent, just after getting started, Su Wan felt a lot more relaxed, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

At this moment, Su Wan suddenly saw a piece of letter paper in front of the dressing table, her brows were tightly wrinkled, there must be no one else except that person who could put the letter paper into her boudoir silently Come on!

Thinking of this, Su Wan said to Zhuru who was behind him: "Zhuru, go and get me the letter on the dressing table." Zhu Ru responded, then ran to the dressing table and brought the letter , Pass it to Su Wan.

Looking at the familiar letterhead, Su Wan shook her head slightly, and it was exactly as she thought, it was really given to her by that person.At this time, Zhuru returned to Su Wan's back and continued to beat Su Wan's back and shoulders.

Standing behind Su Wan, Zhuru saw the lady shaking her head, and couldn't help asking: "Miss, who wrote this letter to you? Why have you never seen it before?"

The few letterheads sent by Huo Jing before, because he didn't trust Zhuru very much, so he read them behind Zhuru's back, and then threw them into the charcoal basin and burned them to ashes. Of course, Zhuru had never seen them.

However, now that Zhuru has passed her own test, there is no need to avoid Zhuru for these trivial matters.That's why Su Wan asked Zhuru to bring the letterhead to her.

Open the letter paper, and sure enough, there is not a word on the letter paper.There is only a simple drawing of a knife on one of them, two people, one is obviously a daughter in a skirt and palace dress, and the other is obviously a man with a star crown and hair.

The woman held the scabbard in her hand, but the knife was in the man's hand, and another person was bleeding to death on the ground.Seeing such a horrific scene, Zhuru couldn't help crying out, "Miss, who is this who sent such a horrific letter?"

Compared to Zhuru's pale face, Su Wan is much calmer.Obviously, this time Huo Jing saw through his scheme again.I taught Su Qing the flaws in "Chen Shu", and encouraged Su Qing to ask Su Lin on the sutra feast, which is obviously a murder with a borrowed knife.

After reading Huo Jing's letterhead, Su Wan smiled and put the letterhead away again.Although Huo Jing pointed out his scheme several times, he never revealed his scheme.At present, it seems that it is not an enemy.

Give the letter to Zhuru, and ask Zhuru to burn the letter to ashes.Su Wan casually picked up a book from the table, wanting to read it to pass the time, but found that the book she casually picked up was the "Chen Shu" written by Su Linxiu.

The book is full of marks made by myself in lower case, and many places have been smeared with my pen.It's a pity that even though so many things have been made, only that one place is used in the end.

Now that Su Lin has been brought down by himself, there is no need to read this book anymore.Su Wanxin threw the book aside, but didn't know what to do.After thinking for a long time, he picked up the book again and continued to read it.

The jade rabbit just rose outside the window, and the maid next to the eldest lady called, "Second miss, the eldest lady invites you to eat in the back garden."

Hearing the maid's voice, Su Wan nodded expressionlessly, and ordered Zhuru to take her coat, and the master and servant stepped out of the small courtyard.
