Chapter Eighty-One: Losing the World
Mrs. Su understood Xiao Huai'an's concerns, knew that he was for Su Jiao's good, and appreciated it in her heart. And Su Jiao half hoped that Master Su could learn a lesson, and half didn't want her mother to be sad, so she also closed her mouth for the time being, not adding fuel to the fire.
But then again, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, Su Zhongshi naturally doesn't want to bear these charges on his body, but he stubbornly wants to pull Su Jiao off the horse.
After thinking about it, although Su Zhongshi was a little jealous, he still insisted on looking at Su Jiao with hatred. "Lord Xiao's words are inevitably biased, this saying can't be slapped in the face, if it weren't for Su Jiao, who is the daughter of the official, but she refuses to worry about the official at all, how could the official say these inappropriate words, in the end, Su Jiao is spoiled by Lord Xiao."
The voice landed, if it weren't for the whole process of seeing the development of things just now, I'm afraid I would really believe what Master Su said. Su Jiao tightened her wrist more and more, she was not his own daughter and felt so indignant, if she didn't end up in the end, she would be angry with this cheap father.
When Xiao Huai'an heard this, she also had a rough number in her heart, and she no longer controlled Su Jiao, who was in that class, so that she calmed down her anger, but instead hooked a mocking smile on the corner of her lips.
"Lord Su kept saying Su Jiao's name, without any pity, please forgive me for these explanations. However, what Master Su wants Su Jiao to do, the official can guess it. ”
"Right now, the foreign envoys are about to enter Beijing, and Your Majesty is putting all her thoughts on the affairs of the Federation on both sides, and the queen also wants to share the worries and solve problems for Your Majesty, but Lord Su is tossing around Su Lian's matter, isn't this a slap in the face in front of the foreign envoys at a critical time."
"In this way, at this critical juncture, if those ministers with intentions want to put a charge of sabotaging the federation and colluding with foreign ministers, I am afraid it is not impossible."
Su Zhongshi can ignore the crime mentioned by Xiao Huai'an earlier, but the family matter can be big or small, but this crime of colluding with foreign countries to collaborate with the enemy and treason is not something that ordinary people can bear, and if you are not careful, you will destroy your family.
Not to mention that the entire imperial court is not only the only one with these six ministers, but the group of scribes under Xiao Huai'an who supervise hundreds of officials are not vegetarians.
Su Zhongshi must have benefited a lot because after Su Lian married into the Three Princes' Mansion, he also benefited a lot, and he floated up for a while, but he didn't even turn this corner.
Now after being reminded by Xiao Huai'an to come back to his senses, Su Zhongshi suddenly sobered up, as if he had walked through the ghost gate.
"Lord Xiao's words are inevitably too serious, so you and my family say that they are in-laws, but it's just a trivial matter for our own family, why bother to make a joke in the main hall,"
"The official is just talking, but seeing that Li'er is very pitiful in the temple and being bullied, I can't help but feel anxious, I think you shouldn't understand your father's painstaking efforts."
"Yes, my father cares about my sister, and he is willing to take his daughter to the Yama Palace, and then explains that it is just a joke, and the daughter is timid, but she can't stand her father's toss."
Su Jiao hooked the corners of her lips, and for Lord Su's words, she could only regard them as emitting gas, saying that she didn't pay attention to the Sudanese's reaction in the middle of the night, and only looked at Mrs. Su with some concern.
"It's not early today, I can't eat this meal, my daughter should go back, and I hope my mother will take care of herself."
Mrs. Su took a deep breath, she now completely understands Master Su, but she still has all kinds of self-blame for Su Jiao in her heart, after all, if it weren't for her own reason, Su Jiao wouldn't have to go on this trip.
"Okay, but you don't have to come home next time, your mother will naturally come to see you if she wants you." After hearing the first few words, Su Jiao couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that Mrs. Su was in a bad mood, and only after listening to the latter words could she be relieved.
This mother and daughter talked to themselves, with deep emotions, as if Su Dacai was the superfluous person. Master Su's face was not good, and he didn't get a response for Su Lian's words just now, which made him stand in place extremely embarrassed.
Xiao Huai'an asked Mu Hibiscus and them to take good care of Su Jiao, and exchanged a few words with Mrs. Su, as if she had just remembered Master Su, and turned back after realizing it.
"By the way, Lord Su just mentioned the second miss, the second miss is the official's wife and sister, the official will send someone to take care of it, so Lord Su doesn't have to worry, but something like today, the official doesn't want it to happen a second time."
Su Zhongshi originally wanted to borrow Su Jiao's hand to fish Su Lian directly out of the Lotus Temple, but he didn't expect to get the opposite result, but instead gave Xiao Huaian a chance to send someone to watch Su Lian, and then if he tried to find a way to get people out in the future, it would be another hurdle.
After thinking about it, Master Su couldn't help but feel a string on his head beating constantly, and he wanted to open his mouth to stop Xiao Huai'an, but Xiao Huai'an had already said goodbye and took Su Jiao back.
When he came back to his senses, there were only two people left in the entire garden, Mrs. Su and him, and Lord Su was dissatisfied, and he wanted to lose his temper at Mrs. Su when he was angry.
"Look at the good daughter you raised, your good son-in-law, even dare to question my words as a father, what do they want to do like this, do they really want to force Li'er to death in the Lotus Temple to be happy?"
However, at this moment, Mrs. Su no longer has half of her husband and wife feelings for Su Zhongshi, and she only sneers at Su Zhongshi's incompetence and anger.
"I heard that the whole book of the Heart Sutra that the queen asked her to copy is only about a hundred words, and Su Lian's homework has been copied a few times in a few days.
"The people in the temple saw that she was not in good health, and while letting her go out for a walk, she picked medicine for herself by the way, which was also regarded as abuse in your eyes, too, once you got Su Lian, it was like a princess for you, even so, what else do you want this family to do, it is better to simply go alone with her."
Mrs. Su unceremoniously told the truth, and Master Su immediately opened his eyes wide, and asked in a calm voice with some doubts and some weak hearts.
"How do you know about these things, did you send someone to follow me?"
"How is she tossing in the Lotus Temple, the people on and off the Lotus Temple Mountain all know it, and they still need me to follow you on purpose? I'm too lazy to talk to you about this, and you won't listen to it anyway. ”
Mrs. Su sneered, and when she raised her hand, she left all the shock and disbelief behind her, and at this moment, she was as chic as a passer-by when she talked to Lord Su.
"In the future, you and I will go our separate ways, and after I wait for the Yang family loyally, it will be difficult to leave you, and I will starve to death on the streets. However, after many years of husband and wife, I still give you a word of advice, if you are so indistinguishable from wrong, Su Lian will kill you sooner or later. ”
"You...... Woman's short-sightedness! Master Su scolded her speechlessly, and a few words came out for a long time, as if she had forgotten that Su Lian was just a woman.
Mrs. Su glanced at him lightly, there was no emotion in her eyes, and she walked away, the colorful decorations of the courtyard seemed to reflect everything that happened today, and it looked so funny.
Lord Su failed to find a way to bring Su Lian out of the temple, and he made a fuss that seemed to end up betraying his relatives.
However, the latter didn't care much about Lord Su, until now, all Lord Su was thinking about in his heart was that he was afraid that Su Lian would worry, and he didn't dare to tell people about everything that happened today.
But Master Su had the patience to find another way to get out for Su Lian, but Su Lian couldn't stay in the temple for a quarter of an hour.
Even if Master Su repeatedly told her to calm down before leaving, Su Lian still couldn't wait, especially when she heard a few occasional scoldings from the temple, she would subconsciously bring it into herself, and felt that she really couldn't tolerate herself here, so she quietly ran out of the backyard while the illness was not yet well and it was getting late.
Today, the sky is full of stars, a new moon hides in the clouds very shyly, and here is the path down the mountain, and the dense bushes on both sides stretch their branches from the darkness in the direction of Su Lian.
"Your Highness," Su Lian was so frightened that tears couldn't help but welled up from her eyes, looking at the shrubs with branches in all directions, like a black-hearted nun in the temple who might point fingers at her, she only felt a blackness in front of her.
"Help."
However, at this time of time, in this kind of place, even the birds that came home at night went to bed early, how could half of them pay attention to her voice.
Su Lian covered her mouth and nose tightly with her hands, so as to avoid her crying too loudly, attracting the attention of the people in the temple, and after walking for half a day, she had the courage to go down more than a dozen steps.
"It's dark." Su Lian's heart trembled, but as long as she thought that she could return to the capital after going down the mountain, she felt a little more courageous in her heart.
"It's okay, Your Highness, when the concubine comes back, we will be reunited as a family soon."
Taking a deep breath, Su Lian continued to encourage himself in his heart, and suddenly noticed that there was a different kind of bright light in the forest in front of him, just like the sparkling waves reflected by the moonlight on the surface of the lake, which looked very bright.
"There is light!" Su Lian couldn't help but be overjoyed, because she was afraid that the road down the mountain would be too dark, so she chose to go to the path without hesitation.
However, in the mountains and forests, except for walking in the footsteps of the predecessors, there is no doubt that they will go in any direction, so they dig their own graves. But I can't stand Su Lian's pampered eldest lady since childhood, how can she understand this truth.
What's more, Su Lian's body has not yet recovered, she was dazzled for a while, she didn't see the situation under her feet clearly, and she was tripped by a stone hiding in the dead branches and fallen leaves, Su Lian actually rolled directly from this small slope to nearly halfway up the mountain, which can be regarded as making her realize the horror of Zhang Yuge jumping down the mountain at the beginning.
