Chapter 436: House Arrest
But neither Su Mian nor Lin Qingqing expected that this matter would deteriorate even more seriously.
At first, he just said that Su Mian's matter was handled inappropriately, but the next day, the whole city condemned Su Mian, saying that she was vicious, narrow-minded, and unworthy of being a teacher.
Su Mian hadn't heard the wind outside, at this moment, she was confronting Huan Niang, and she didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly: "You already knew that the child couldn't be saved, so you came to the door, whose child is your child, I don't want to investigate it now, I just want to know, who asked you to come." β
Huan Niang's face was pale, biting her lip and crying: "I am innocent with death certificates, since you don't believe me, why save me, let me die, if you don't stimulate me and suspect me of insulting me, how can my child not be saved!" β
She was so excited that the green tendons on her forehead popped up, and her hands were clenched into fists, because her body was weak and she had no strength, and the words of condemnation sounded soft, but they were also very uncomfortable.
Su Mian pulled the corners of her mouth indifferently, and her tone was sarcastic: "Don't pretend, the doctor has already checked it, you are already in an unstable fetal position, you didn't want to keep this child from the beginning, because you know better than anyone else that this will not be Gu Zhixing's child, let him be born, it will expose your lies, let me guess, you went to great lengths to find the door, it should be just to destroy my reputation, right?" β
"But how cruel are you?" Su Mian didn't give Huan Niang a chance to answer, and continued, "That's your child, your blood and bones, I have no grievances with you, as for you using this vicious method to harm me?" β
Huan Niang lowered her eyes, hiding her obviously trembling eyes, her face became more and more flustered, and she said in a panic: "I don't understand what you're saying." β
It's obviously a look of reluctance to cooperate.
Su Mian didn't care, but his expression was cold and hard, and his words were full of contempt and sarcasm: "It's okay if you don't say it, anyway, if you don't say it, I can find out, whose child is it, I don't care who asked you to come, it's too naΓ―ve to want to make trouble for me in this way." β
Huan Niang was a little at a loss, the news she received, obviously said that Su Mian was warm and transparent, and had a kind temperament, but she was not very good at dealing with human feelings, to put it bluntly, her emotional intelligence was too low, and she was a little stupid.
But now, Su Mian seems to have grown up suddenly, and she can easily see through her disguises and lies.
This is different from her planned development, and it is normal for Huan Niang to be at a loss.
They have planned so much, but they have forgotten that it is impossible for people not to deal with these situations for the rest of their lives, Su Mian is also growing up, and she has experienced so many things, she can't be naΓ―ve forever.
"Don't talk, do you?" Su Mian tugged at the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyes were flat and calm, and her mood was stable, "Do you think that if I am silent, I can't do anything about you?" Huan Niang, looking back now, maybe if you weren't so extreme, your child would be able to be saved, are you really willing to do it? β
Huan Niang gritted her teeth, forced herself to be ruthless, and said in a deep voice: "Am I reluctant?" You don't reverse black and white here, it's obvious that you can't tolerate me. β
Su Mian shook his head, his patience had been exhausted, and he said lightly: "Okay, you just insist on it so needlessly, by the way, since you want to enter the palace to raise your body so much, I am not the kind of unreasonable person, I will satisfy you, and you will live here in the future until the prince comes back and gives you what you want." β
After speaking, Su Mian turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait." But she was stopped by Huan Niang, she struggled on the bed, obviously too excited to get up, but she didn't succeed, but instead pulled the wound so painful that her face turned white, and her voice was hoarse and sad, "What do you mean by this, do you want to put me under house arrest?" β
Su Mian shrugged innocently: "I'm obviously satisfying you, don't worry, the palace is very safe, and no one can enter." β
Huan Niang can't see anyone, what to do next, she can't discuss with anyone.
Then, she turned around and left, and when she arrived at the door, she instructed her subordinates in a voice that Huan Niang could hear: "Watch the door, don't let her run away, send her food well, feed her if she doesn't eat, hang her life, don't let her die." β
It's over, it's completely over.
Huan Niang's body that had just been propped up seemed to have suffered a huge blow, and she fell back to the bed softly, her eyes were scary.
Su Mian planned to go to the academy, but before she could go out, she was stopped by Qiu Shuang.
Qiushuang's face was solemn, and he said: "Niangniang, otherwise you should rest today, you were tired and fainted yesterday, if you let the prince know that you torture and don't care for your body, you will definitely feel distressed, so don't go to the academy first, it's enough for them to do the affairs of the academy." β
Qiushuang has never lied, let alone in front of Su Mian.
Su Mian's nerves were always tense, and when he heard this, he became even more suspicious, and said vigilantly: "Is there something wrong with the academy?" Qiushuang, do you have something to hide from me? β
Qiushuang didn't want to admit it, and wanted to struggle to the death, so she snorted: "Niangniang, don't think about it, the academy is fine, there is nothing, the slave maid just wants you to take a break, and now there are too many rumors outside, and the slave maid is afraid of affecting the mother's mood." β
The more he talked, the more he lacked confidence, and in the end, he was stared at by Su Mian so much that he couldn't talk anymore, and Qiushuang was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
Su Mian was even more suspicious, her face became solemn, and her tone was dull: "I never care about what others say, what happened?" β
Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Qiu Shuang could only bite the bullet and say: "Niangniang, it's the academy, many people are talking about this matter, everyone says that you killed the prince's child, you have a vicious mind, and you are not worthy of being a teacher, they ask you not to go to the academy, and hand over the academy to others to take care of, and many students in the academy have signed a joint letter, wanting you to temporarily hand over the management of the academy." β
To put it nicely, it is temporary, but in fact, I hope that Su Mian will never go to the academy.
Su Mian's eyes were cold, and she slowly reacted, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was full of sarcasm: "Heh, she can't wait so soon, she does have some ability to buy the hearts of everyone in the academy in such a short period of time." β
Qiushuang hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Does Niangniang already know who spread the rumors?" β
Su Mian's expression was calm: "Who else can not see me in the academy, isn't it just that one, I'm afraid Huan Niang was found by her, and she wants me not to go to the academy, why doesn't she want to think about it, if I don't go, will it be her turn to call the shots in the academy?" β
Qiushuang saw it clearly, and said unwillingly: "They just deliberately want to disgust you, maybe they can take the opportunity to make more like-minded magnates in the academy, although there is the emperor as a guarantee, it is impossible for you to leave the academy, maybe so, they can already give you a dismount." β
Su Mian stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, she couldn't hide the fragility and tiredness in her eyes, and after a moment of relief, she whispered: "Okay, just make time to find out about this matter, did you find out the origin of Huan Niang who asked them to check yesterday?" β
Qiushuang didn't know very well, and immediately said, "I'll ask." β
She quickly went to find the attendant who Gu Zhixing had left behind.
It didn't take long for Qiushuang to come back, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, the person who went to investigate has gone out of the city, and he hasn't come back yet, so I think I found some clues." β
Su Mian gasped slightly, suddenly waved her hand at Qiu Shuang, leaned over and said in her ear: "You quietly find Lin Qingqing in the academy, and have a word with her, remember not to let anyone see you." β
Qiushuang nodded seriously, and after listening to Su Mian's words, she quickly went to the academy.
Lin Qingqing received the news of Qiushuang, quickly understood what Su Mian meant, and promised: "I know, don't worry, I will definitely handle the matter, you go back to Ah Mian first, she must need someone to accompany her now, you can rest assured that the academy will deal with it, I am investigating the matter of the joint petition, but it is most likely that Gong Qianxue and they carried it out secretly, what they didn't expect was that even if they signed the joint petition, the emperor didn't say anything, Ah Mian can still lead the academy, it's just a useless struggle." β
Qiushuang was relieved and bowed: "Then it's troublesome Miss, I'll go back." β
After Qiushuang left, Lin Qingqing separated half a pillar of incense, and it was the prince looking for Gong Qianxue.
As soon as you enter the door. She said happily: "Congratulations to the third princess, this matter is done well, now Su Mian doesn't dare to come to the academy, not only that, but the person I sent to the palace to inquire about the news also said that Su Mian was so anxious yesterday that she fainted, and she was at a loss, and she didn't know how to deal with this situation, and she had to eat and drink to support that Huan Niang." β
Gong Qianxue's eyes lit up, obviously happy, but she pretended to be confused: "Why can't I understand this, isn't Huan Niang Gu Zhixing's woman outside?" But it has nothing to do with me, Qingqing's congratulations, I really don't understand. β
"Oh, really?" Lin Qingqing's expression was calm, looking at Gong Qianxue's eyes calmly, and questioned: "But didn't Lianxin come to me for help before, did I misunderstand?" I thought Huan Niang was found by the third princess, and I was trying to praise the third princess for doing a beautiful job, but now Su Mian is panicked and her reputation is stinking, and the purpose of the third princess is probably about to be achieved. β
Gong Qianxue still didn't admit it, and said slowly: "Maybe it's what Lianxin's girl did behind my back, I really didn't know in advance, but it doesn't matter who gets to Huanniang first, the important thing is that all of this is true." β
Lin Qingqing glanced at Gong Qianxue in a deep light, slowly turned cold, and said bluntly: "The third princess keeps saying that she wants to make friends with me, and I will tell you the first time if I find out any news, but the princess has no sincerity, and she doesn't want to tell me anything she does. β
