Chapter 272: Behind the Scenes

Su Shi said this time that the root of the old disease attacked, which was half true and half pretended. Su pretended to be very sick, naturally in order to make things difficult for Liu Ruoxi. I just didn't expect it to be so big. The Su family was reprimanded by King Yongjing, and had no choice but to apologize to the Liu family, and he was already holding a sigh of relief in his heart. At that time, she could still hold on, but when Rong Chenghan came back and said something in her room, Su Shi really fell ill.

This disease, speaking of which, is still a heart disease. Su Qingnuan left, and Su had no one to say these words, so he could only call the two old grandmothers who had served the longest and had the most confidants by his side to come to him.

"The princess doesn't have to worry too much," Mama Wang and Mama Xing both comforted the Su family, "The princess is also angry." If you are angry, how can you do it accurately. ”

The words of the two grandmothers did not make the Su family feel better. King Yongjing reprimanded her for not making things difficult for Liu Ruoxi, and the Su family could accept it. But King Yongjing brought up the old matter and suspected that she was malicious with her intentions, which was absolutely unacceptable to the Su family. King Yongjing's words pierced Su's heart all the time.

"How did I get here after so many years. Pity my heart, until now my own son is not close to me, and treats me as an enemy, what is it for? I can't wait to take it out......" Su Shi clutched his chest, only to feel a sullen pain in his heart.

Su Shi is like this, and the two old grandmothers are somewhat panicked.

"The princess's efforts over the years, who in the house can not see anyone with eyes. The princess doesn't have to be so bored because of a sentence or two from the prince. How the prince and the second master treat the princess, doesn't the prince know. That's better than a million words someone else can say. Mama Wang persuaded again.

mentioned Rong Chengyi and Rong Chengxiang, Su Shi's face really improved. Over the years, she has made a lot of sacrifices, and she treats these two sons who are not her own sons much better than her own biological sons. Su believes that the stepmother of the world is afraid that no one will be able to do her like this.

Rong Chengyi respects her very much. Rong Chengxiang is more dependent on her. Su Shi no longer remembered whether Rong Chenghan had been coquettish in front of her, but Rong Chengxiang often played tricks on her, and really regarded her as her own / mother.

Mama Wang and Mama Xing looked at Su's face and knew that what Fang Cai said was right for Su's appetite.

"The princess also knows how the second master is usual. In this matter, the second master is not running before and after, he is very responsible. Not to mention the prince, the prince came to the princess, and the prince was going to follow, but the prince didn't allow it. The prince said a lot of good things for the princess. Mama Xing also persuaded softly.

"I know it all." Su Shi sighed. There was relief in his tone, "If it weren't for the prince interceding for me, the prince's temper, where would he be so easy to talk to!" ”

When it comes to who in the palace can best enter the ears of King Yongjing, and who can influence King Yongjing's decision the most, this person is not the Su family, nor anyone else, but the prince Rong Chengyi. King Yongjing not only had great expectations for this eldest son, who lost his mother at a young age, but also gave infinite favor and tolerance.

At that time, the Su family had just entered the palace. What impressed her the most was the closeness between King Yongjing and Rong Chengyi's father and son. King Yongjing took Rong Chengyi with him almost wherever he went.

Thinking of the past, Su closed his eyes. Let out a long sigh.

King Yongjing always carries Rong Chengyi, not only for pampering, but also for the purpose of protection.

"The prince is just talking, the princess must not go to her heart. Boiled out. After all, I've just raised some. The two old ladies persuaded Su again.

“…… The prince has always ...... Don't believe me. Su Shi was stunned for a long time, and only said such a sentence. Without waiting for the two old ladies to persuade again, Su Shi changed the topic by himself.

"They just sent the seven girls away like that?" Su Shi asked about Su Qingnuan. Although she agreed. I wanted to send Su Qingnuan away, but I didn't plan to send it so quickly. Su's plan was to wait for things to cool down a bit, and then send Su Qingnuan home to live for a few days, which could be regarded as giving the Liu family an explanation. But the house didn't come to her to ask for instructions, so she hurriedly sent Su Qingnuan away.

Where is it called sending away, it is clearly to be sent home. Moreover, it is really difficult not to think about it at this juncture. Whoever it is, you have to suspect that the scene that came out in the palace last night was related to Su Qingnuan.

Su Qingnuan's face, reputation, and even the face and reputation of the Su family......

Su Shi frowned, afraid that after this time, it would be difficult to recover.

“…… Hou Ye was in a hurry to return to the camp outside the city, and urged his subordinates to send the seven girls away. Mama Wang's eyes flashed, and although she hesitated slightly, she still said it.

"It's Cheng Han......" Su's hand trembled.

"Hou Ye and the Seventh Girl grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so it will never be like this......" Mama Wang said while peeking at Su's face. If sending Su Qingnuan home like this was not Rong Chenghan's original intention, then who else could make Rong Chenghan do it.

That must be Liu Ruoxi, and everyone in the Liu family has no less to contribute.

Su Shi lowered his eyelids and was silent.

"This time, I wronged the seventh girl. When the seventh girl left, she was very relieved that she couldn't leave the princess. The seventh girl wanted to say goodbye to the princess, but was stopped......" Mama Wang said again.

Mama Xing didn't know if her throat was uncomfortable, and she suddenly coughed twice at this time. Mama Wang glanced at Mama Xing quickly, and stopped talking.

"This time, it was she who was wronged. After the limelight, I must think ......, this kid is tired of me. Su Shi said slowly.

"Didn't I order someone to boil bird's nest porridge for the princess just now." Mama Xing suddenly said to Mama Wang.

"Yes," Mama Wang remembered that she did ask people to boil bird's nest porridge for Su's. After half a day's work, Su's water and rice have not been eaten, and it is time to eat something. Mama Wang was so busy that she went out to serve bird's nest porridge to Su's.

Only Mama Xing was left to accompany Su's family, and Mama Xing looked at Su's face.

"Princess, the old slave said something that shouldn't be said...... "Mama Xing looked left and right again, and then spoke carefully.

"Just say that there are only a few of you caring people left around me now." Su Shi said.

"Master Hou's marriage is already in the boat. If something happens, Hou Ye is sad and doesn't say anything, and it will not benefit anyone. The princess also saw it. Master Hou, and the Liu family, this is not a trivial matter. Mama Xing said in a low voice, "The princess may not know, the old slave has heard about it." This literati's pen is very powerful. Not to mention playing such a book in the court, there are also those scholars, who write a book and tune casually, and circulate it, the person who was written. But it is difficult to turn over for several lifetimes. The prince is wise and powerful, but he knows it very well. ”

Su Shi frowned and was speechless for a while.

"You say, this time?" Su Shi looked up and asked Mama Xing, obviously, Mama Xing's words made her worried.

"The old slave looks, the Liu family likes the Hou Ye very much, and in their hearts they also want their young couple to be harmonious. As long as in the future, the princess treats the third lady slightly better. The Liu family naturally has to respect the princess. After all, the princess is the mother of the Hou Ye. Mama Xing said.

Su Shi didn't speak, but looking at her demeanor, it was obvious that she had listened to Mama Xing's words.

It's just that at this time, Su Shi has not fully realized the seriousness of this matter. In the dead of night. Everyone in the Liu family hurried to the palace, and even the old lady of the Liu family who had read the sixtieth birthday came. After that, King Yongjing and Rong Chengyi rushed back from the camp outside the city overnight, and Rong Chenghan, who was in charge of important tasks, did not hesitate to play the book. After asking for a few hours of vacation, he also rushed back from outside the city.

Liu Ruoxi, the daughter-in-law who had just entered the palace, fell ill, and she was still tired from serving the Su family. And it's at this juncture. As soon as the day dawned, Su Qingnuan was sent out of the palace by a small sedan chair.

No matter what the people of the Liu family say, and no matter how the people of the palace or the Su family defend themselves, the general outline of the matter has already come out.

Su didn't know that she had made countless sacrifices for it, and the reputation of virtue that she had maintained all her life had been damaged, and Su didn't know that she had done all this because she loved Su Qingnuan and listened to Su Qingnuan's words, and in the end, it was Su Qingnuan who suffered the most.

Su Qingnuan is also the age at which she said that she was married, and before this incident, there were people who came to the door one after another to propose marriage, although in the end they were all rejected by the Su family. But since this incident, the people who have come to the door to ask for relatives have almost disappeared.

Some of the schemes of the Su family and Su Qingnuan have reached the point where Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by. It's just that the Su family, Su Qingnuan, and everyone related to the Su family are all in the matter, but they don't notice it. Or maybe they are already aware of it, but they have to pretend that they are not aware of it.

"The princess is open-minded, and the three ladies are all the best choices in terms of appearance, temperament, family background, and talent. According to the old slave, the third lady's behavior/deeds since she entered the mansion are also reasonable and painful. The princess might as well treat the third lady well. In this way, not to mention the princess's virtuous name, and the relationship between her and the Hou Ye can also be slowly eased. It used to be a last resort, but now it ...... The Hou Ye is back, and he is also very important to the prince. After all, Hou Ye is still the son of the princess, no. Mama Xing said with a smile, "This truth of loving the house and Wu, the old slave remembers that the princess taught the old slave." ”

"What do you mean...... Also. Su Shi thought for a moment before he said slowly.

After this incident, if Liu Ruoxi is treated harshly, the Su family can't and won't dare. But not being harsh does not mean valuing and loving.

Before Mama Xing was about to speak again, she heard the curtain ring, and it was Mama Wang who personally brought in the bird's nest porridge. When Mama Xing saw that Mama Wang was back, she stopped.

Mama Wang gave the bird's nest porridge to the Su family, although the Su family did not have much appetite, and was persuaded by the two old grandmothers, so they ate a few bites. There was a little girl who came in, and Su was lazy and bothered, so he sent Mama Xing out to deal with it. In the house, only Mama Wang was left alone to accompany the Su family.

Mama Wang brought the leftover bird's nest porridge from Su's to the door, handed it to the little girl to send it down, and beckoned the two little girls to come, but it was a low voice that told the two little girls to watch the door, and if anyone approached, let her know immediately.

After making arrangements at the door, Mama Wang returned to Su's side.

"The princess must also be suspicious, this matter is like this, in fact, it is strange." Mama Wang whispered to Su Shi.

"Oh?" Su Shi raised his eyes to look at Mama Wang and motioned for Mama Wang to continue.

“…… The third lady has been here with the princess, and something happened at night, why did the Liu family get the news so quickly. There are also the princes and the marquis, which are in the camp outside the city. During the night, the gates of the city were closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. How could the prince and the marquis get the news so quickly? ”

"This, I thought of it too." Su Shi said slowly. Where could she not think of this, it's just that things happened too fast, she had more important things to face, and there were more tangled troubles in her heart, so she suppressed them all for the time being. I haven't thought about it yet.

But now that she was reminded by Mama Wang, the Su family had to cheer up and think about this matter carefully.

"Not long after the Liu family entered the door, she alone could not send the news so quickly." Su Shi said thoughtfully. In the palace, someone must help Liu Ruoxi, so that the news can be delivered so quickly and silently in the middle of the night.

In the palace, who will be the one who has this ability and is willing to help Liu Ruoxi?

There is no need for Mama Wang to remind her, Su has a candidate in her heart. However, Mama Wang did not explicitly name this person. Su Shi didn't say either.

"One more thing, doesn't the princess think it's strange? The third lady is fine, although her hands are burned, I am afraid that it is not as serious as the seventh girl. Sleep at the princess's place at night, but when you get up and pour a cup of tea, where will you ......" Mama Wang looked at Su.

"I also suspect that she is pretending to ......," Su said.

"The princess is wise." Mama Wang immediately agreed, "The old slave is worried that at the beginning, the princess was calculated by the third lady. Third lady, this is ...... I've been prepared. ”

Su's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"If not prepared. Things will never be the way they are. Mama Wang continued to lower her voice again, "If nothing else, it's just going out of the city in the middle of the night." If you don't prepare in advance, you won't be able to do it. ”

"Princess. I'm afraid that the princess will underestimate the third lady. The third lady is so powerful, she is scheming, I am afraid that it will be ...... in the future" Mama Wang looked very worried, but refused to say any more.

However. What she said was enough for Su.

Liu Ruoxi recuperated in Yunshuiju, so she naturally avoided coming to Chunhui Hall in the morning and evening. Su Shibiao is also not in good health. He never visited Liu Ruoxi in the middle of Yunshui, but he sent Lao over every day. Liu Ruoxi didn't care about this, she had nothing to do, and with Mrs. Liu Er accompanying her every day, she lived a very comfortable life.

It wasn't until a few days later that Rong Chenghan returned in the dust, and Mrs. Liu left the palace and went home.

"How's it going?" When Rong Chenghan came back, he first asked Liu Ruoxi's physical condition.

"It's almost already." Liu Ruoxi did not hide Rong Chenghan. Rong Chenghan was still a little worried, until he saw Liu Ruoxi's hand with his own eyes. Liu Ruoxi was not burned in the first place, and she had a good ointment, and there was no trace on her hands.

Rong Chenghan was relieved. Liu Ruoxi simply asked people to put away the gauze, and she no longer planned to wrap her hands.

"Let's pack it for two more days." Rong Chenghan said.

Liu Ruoxi looked at Rong Chenghan, and Rong Chenghan nodded at her. Liu Ruoxi smiled, and she also relied on Rong Chenghan. Rong Chenghan wanted her to pretend that her injury was serious, so naturally it was for her sake, and she had no reason to refuse.

"What is the mother doing to you these days?" Rong Chenghan asked about Su again.

"The mother sends her second sister-in-law over every day." Liu Ruoxi also told Rong Chenghan truthfully, "I think that after this incident, my mother will never like me again." Liu Ruoxi said this, which was tantamount to telling Rong Chenghan. Although Su Shi did not continue to embarrass her, he was also very cold to her.

When Rong Chenghan heard this, there was no expression on his face, as if this had been expected by him for a long time.

"As long as she doesn't make things difficult for you anymore, let's not think about the rest." Rong Chenghan said.

"I see." Liu Ruoxi looked at Rong Chenghan's face and nodded lightly. If Rong Chenghan still had some expectations for Su in the past, after this incident, Su's performance was completely out of some of Rong Chenghan's thoughts.

That's fine, Liu Ruoxi thought. At the beginning of entering the mansion, she didn't think about trying to ease the relationship between the Su family and Rong Chenghan. Not for Rong Chenghan, but for herself. However, she quickly dispelled this idea. At this moment, she agrees with Rong Chenghan's decision, but it is not entirely for herself.

Without thoughts, there will be no disappointment. Since the Su family plans to go to the dark on that road, then the sooner Rong Chenghan sees the facts, the sooner he can feel at ease, and he doesn't need to be hurt senselessly.

Rong Chenghan hadn't seen Liu Ruoxi for a few days, but now seeing Liu Ruoxi's complexion, he couldn't help but bow his head and wrap around Liu Ruoxi's body. The soft / jade / warm / fragrant in his arms, the tip of his nose is Liu Ruoxi's faint fragrance, Rong Chenghan naturally inevitably moved, so he reached out to untie Liu Ruoxi's clothes.

Liu Ruoxi stretched out her hand, took out a stack of letterheads, and blocked it in front of Rong Chenghan.

"What is it?" Rong Chenghan had to ask.

"It's a letter from your seventh sister." Liu Ruoxi said.

Hearing Liu Ruoxi say that it was a letter written by Su Qingnuan, Rong Chenghan's face immediately changed. He reached out and snatched the letter, and threw it on the ground, as if it were not a letterhead, but a poisonous snake.

"How do you keep her stuff around?" Rong Chenghan's tone was a little harsh, but at this moment, Liu Ruoxi naturally wouldn't misunderstand that Rong Chenghan was scolding her. The worry in Rong Chenghan's eyes was too obvious.

"Why are you reacting so much?" Seeing Rong Chenghan like this, Liu Ruoxi became more and more calm, and deliberately asked, "She has already been sent away, can she harm me just by relying on these letters?" ”

"You know what?" Rong Chenghan said in a deep voice. The house of Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu is too clean, Liu Ruoxi grew up in such an environment, and she has never seen those women's smiles hidden knives and pervasiveness. (To be continued......)
