Chapter 49: How could a daughter kill her?
Su Lingchuan was shocked, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Old minister...... Old minister......"
"Su Xiang, you really disappointed me! I treat you well, your youngest daughter has become the crown princess, and the second daughter has become the concubine of Rui Wang, in folk parlance, you and I can be regarded as sons and daughters! But how can you indulge in such a thing that will make me lose face and make Tianque lose face? Even if the Western Regions are remote, but your eldest daughter is a princess when she marries, what are you not satisfied with? β
"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, and the old minister deserves to die!" Su Lingchuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, Qi Huanyuan and Su Liunian didn't dare to slack off, their tearful eyes cried and their makeup was spent, their foreheads were already bruised and swollen, and they didn't forget to say "damn it" in their mouths.
Emperor Jing patted the dragon case and said angrily: "This is your family matter, even if you are not strict with your daughter, you will have nothing to do with me." But this matter is related to the relationship between Tianque and the Western Regions, and I must give an explanation to the King of the Western Regions! β
Su Lingchuan nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, old minister, but according to the emperor's orders!" β
"Commands? Do you want me to be this wicked person? Emperor Jing glanced at him and slowly turned his back, "How to clean up this mess, it's better to leave it to Su Xiang to think about it himself!" β
Think?
He'd have to figure it out!
Su Lingchuan has been pacing around in the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion for a whole day, and since he came back from the palace, he has never stepped out of the study again, refusing to see anyone, including Qi Huanyuan, who wants to intercede for a woman who wants to read a novel.
Seriously, Nian'er is his daughter after all, even if he hates it so much, even if he even has the intention of strangling her, but after calming down and thinking about it for a day, he can't really pull her to the pig cage!
The emperor asked him to deal with this mess by himself, it seems that he trusts him and wants to give him a chance to atone for his sins, but the problem is that even if he wants to go to the door to apologize, the envoys of the Western Regions must be willing to see him!
Su Ziran had been standing outside the door for a long time, listening to the chaotic footsteps in the room, she couldn't figure out what Su Lingchuan was thinking, shouldn't he have dealt with Su Liunian, a daughter who had caused him to lose face, according to his temperament? But after so long, he hasn't made up his mind, does that mean that only she, the concubine, can be disposed of and abandoned by him at will?
"Dad, can my daughter come in?" She knocked on the door.
The footsteps in the room paused slightly, half-loudly, and a sentence could be heard from inside: "Come in." β
Pushing the door in, Su Lingchuan was hanging his head and facing away from her, his body was a little stiff, and a few silver threads faintly appeared in his black hair. At that moment, she seemed to see an elderly father who was worried about his daughterβjust a father.
"Is Dad worried about the eldest sister's affairs?"
Su Lingchuan turned around slowly, his voice with a hint of tiredness and weakness: "The emperor wants the prime minister to deal with this matter, but now the envoys of the Western Regions refuse to see the prime minister at all, how can this be handled?" β
Su Ziran thought for a moment and said, "My daughter just wants to ask her father a question." β
"You say."
"Is the future of the eldest sister important, or is it important to apologize to the envoys of the Western Regions?"
Su Lingchuan replied without hesitation: "Naturally, the most important thing is to satisfy the envoys of the Western Regions!" β
"In that case, Dad still doesn't know what to do?" Su Ziran pursed her lips, looking a little embarrassed, "Dad and the envoys of the Western Regions have no holiday, and this matter is not Dad's fault, I believe that as envoys related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, they must be able to understand Dad's distress." And the only one who damaged their face in the Western Regions was the eldest sister, as long as their father could ......"
"But she is the daughter of Benxiang, how can Benxiang bear to ask for her life?"
Su Ziran bent her lips and shook her head: "Dad misunderstood, she is also her daughter's eldest sister, how could her daughter want her life?" β
"Then what do you mean ......"
The next day, Su Liunian was forced to put on a wedding dress, and the sedan chair was parked at the back door.
Su Lingchuan specially ordered that no lanterns were allowed in the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone posting happy words, especially not allowed to swagger through the market. It can be said that this wedding did not have any ceremony at all, not even a decent dowry, and the most embarrassing thing was that Su Liunian was not allowed to return to the door after the marriage.
In this way, to put it mildly, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion got married, and to put it mildly, that is, to drive Su Liunian out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and find a widower to stuff him over, cut off her kindness, and let her fend for herself!
Su Ziran wasn't sure if he would agree to this move at first, after all, in this way, the second half of Su Liunian's life would be completely ruined, but she didn't expect that as soon as she proposed it yesterday, Su Lingchuan asked people to do it with relief, and the speed was so fast that it could be described as a lightning speed. It seems that compared to the happiness of Su Liunian's daughter, Su Lingchuan still wants to use this way to show goodwill to the envoys of the Western Regions to keep his position in Emperor Jing's heart.
Su Liunian clung to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and refused to let go, and the bridal makeup specially painted by the maid for her had already been cried by her, "Dad, mother...... Don't get married...... Please...... Please...... Nian'er knew that he was wrong...... I must be obedient and obedient in the future......"
But in the end, Su Lingchuan didn't care about her crying almost out of breath, and with a wave of his hand, he asked people to tie her to a sedan chair.
Qi Huanyuan stood aside and kept wiping his tears, and couldn't help but pull her several times, but Su Lingchuan said coldly and ruthlessly: "What are you crying for, aren't they all good daughters you taught!" "I was so frightened that in the end I could only watch my daughter enter the sedan chair until she was never seen again.
"Miss, are you just going to let her go?" Xi Xuan stood beside Su Ziran and muttered indignantly.
"You're too ruthless, aren't you?" Su Ziran smiled and quipped, "The eldest lady of the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion married a widower, had no dowry, was tied out of the back door, and was not allowed to return to the door in the future, isn't this enough?" β
Xi Xuan snorted disappreciably: "She has bullied Miss for so many years, this is simply too cheap for her!" β
Su Ziran almost couldn't help laughing, flicked it her head, and whispered in her ear: "You girl, it's so much to my liking!" β
Seeing that Su Lingchuan and Qi Huanyuan were gone, she was also about to leave, but Su Liuyue suddenly blocked in front of her, and said in an unkind tone: "I have something to tell you." β
Xixuan immediately took two steps forward, do you want to say that my young lady must listen to you? In her eyes, this stepmother and daughter don't have a good thing, they are all poisonous snakes and beasts!
Su Ziran could see what she was thinking from this girl's expression, and immediately stopped with a smile: "Xixuan, you go back first." The third sister is just talking to me about family life, so don't be nervous. β
"Miss......"
"Obedient!" She accentuated her tone.
"Yes!" Only then did Xi Xuan go back to the Ink Dyeing Institute indignantly, and before leaving, he didn't forget to glare at Su Liuyue viciously.
When she walked away, Su Ziran's expression turned cold again: "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, after a long time, my girl should be worried." β
