Because of Su Shengbai's sudden death, Su Huiyi, as a son-in-law, naturally has a lot of things to deal with, first to suppress the news trend of all parties, and then to electrify the whole country to appease the people. Originally, Su Shengbai was a pivotal figure, and his death naturally made many forces that couldn't hold back active again, so that all sides sent additional troops along the line, and even Fusang and Beidi took advantage of the situation to send additional troops.

Su Qingyang telegraphed the whole country as soon as he learned the news, pointing directly at Su Huiyi's intention to kill his father and seize power, and vowed to seek justice for his father. For several days, Su Huiyi and Su Ziyu held meetings at the military headquarters to further discuss and deal with this series of thorny issues.

First of all, how to control the people in the south, now all parties are eyeing it, and every mistake will make them attack it en masse. Although Su Huiyi has long taken over military power, it still takes time to deal with these things.

First of all, it is necessary to stabilize the situation in the south, and additional troops have been deployed on all borders. It's just a few days of hard work, and the two of them have hardly rested, and the mansion is busy dealing with Su Shengbai's funeral, and the magnates of Jinling have come to mourn one after another, and they are all panicked.

In the evening, a few people were still meeting in the conference room, Lin Ning knocked on the door and went in, and when he saw that everyone was tired, he said, "Seven Shao, the envoy from the north has arrived." ”

Su Huiyi frowned when he heard this, threw away the documents in his hand, and said lightly: "I'm too lazy to deal with them, just send someone over casually." ”

Originally, this kind of condolences were all things on the scene, and Lin Ning was also clear, so he responded and was about to go out, but Su Ziyu, who was sitting on the other side, opened his mouth, "I'll go, at such a time, the people of the Su family must always have a past." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Su Huiyi, "Old Seven, do you have any opinions?" ”

Su Huiyi stroked his forehead tiredly and said, "Whatever you want." After he said it, he took a light on it, the smoke swirled around his face, he couldn't see his expression clearly, and his voice was calm, "Since you want to go over, I think you have already made up your mind about some words, this time the Northland sent people, I'm afraid it is to talk to us about a lot of conditions, originally I didn't want to hear it, but now you are dealing with them, whether you have negotiated the conditions, our Su family people come forward, naturally we can't let them think they have a chance." ”

Su Ziyu naturally understood these things in his heart, and he had already thought of a lot of countermeasures, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm not good at other things, I have learned a lot from my father by pretending." After he said that, he couldn't help frowning, thinking that his father had died suddenly, and as an insider in this, he was even more ashamed.

The original persistent hatred for his father in his heart, after his death, all disappeared, the old things cannot be turned back, and time cannot go back, for him, those resentments and hatreds are all offset.

Su Huiyi also fell into silence, the two of them didn't speak for a long time, and everyone in the room was silent. Su Ziyu got up, looked at a few staff members and said, "I've been tired for the past few days, so you all go back first." ”

Everyone also knew how inconvenient it would be to stay any longer, so they said goodbye and left, and Su Ziyu also walked out without saying a word. The room suddenly became very quiet, Su Huiyi sat on the sofa and smoked silently, because of the fatigue of the days, he only felt that his brain was mixed at the moment, and he couldn't figure out a clue.

The smoke swirled around, making him feel very scorching, so he couldn't help but throw the cigarette butt on the ground, got up and walked to the phone, dialed the familiar number, and the other end was quickly picked up, "Which one?" ”

He heard Yuzhu's voice, so he said, "What is she doing?" When Yuzhu heard that it was him, he hurriedly said: "Miss has not been in good health for the past two days, and she just fell asleep." She felt that it was wrong and said, "I'll go and wake her up." ”

Su Huiyi pondered for a moment before saying, "Don't bother her, tell her that I will go to see her when I have time." After he had said that, he hung up the phone and walked slowly to the window, where it was already dark outside, and his long figure was reflected in the floor-to-ceiling window, as if it were still.

At the end of the canopy, the stars twinkled, the shadows of the trees in the night, and the rustle of the wind. He exhaled slowly, then turned around and walked out, all the way out of the military headquarters, the car was originally waiting at the bottom of the stone steps, the attendant opened the door, he sat down, and heard the driver ask with some hesitation: "Qishao, where to go?" ”

He closed his eyes tiredly, leaned back, and said, "Go back to the official residence." ”

The driver answered yes and started the car, and martial law had already been imposed on the street, and there was no obstacle in driving through the road at a gallop. Soon they drove back to the Overseer's Palace, and saw that there were still white lanterns hanging in front of the vermilion lacquer door, and the white silk swayed gently in the night, and everything seemed lonely and desolate.

As if he had suddenly broken into a desolate world, he looked at it in a trance, and remembered too much in an instant, and there were more memories of his childhood, which he had rarely recalled, and when he thought about it at the moment, he couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, both strange and mixed with a little helplessness.

The door had been opened by the messenger, and the car drove in, and everywhere was white, mixed with the bright light of the night, and I only felt confused. He suddenly stopped, got out of the car, walked forward through the verandah, and looked at the white lanterns under the porch, like frost and snow.

In the distance, I heard the sound of crying coming from the mourning hall, which was more relieved and helpless than the crying at the beginning. He walked over slowly, and saw a few female dependents kneeling in the mourning hall, except for a few aunts, there was only one daughter, Su Fangfei, who had already notified the fifth lady who was far away in the United States, but now the person has not returned.

Su Fangfei wiped her tears, she was an unmarried young lady, and now she has endured too much, and she just feels that she can't resist it. Seeing that Su Huiyi was coming, he cried silently and said, "Old Seven, you are here." ”

At such a moment, people will always get tired of talking, Su Huiyi nodded, first glanced at the female dependents, and then said: "Sixth sister, take them back, I will stay here tonight." ”

Su Fangfei knew in her heart, so she wiped her tears and nodded, and several female dependents glanced at each other, and they all got up one after another and left. Seeing that all the people were scattered, Su Huiyi walked to the spiritual seat and put incense, and then knelt on the futon.

is just trying to recall all kinds of things with Su Shengbai, from his youth to adulthood, this person has taught him a lot, how cold and cruel, how shrewd and wise. He had to admit that he had learned a lot from his father, but he had also lost a lot because of these, including how to love someone decisively and how to think emotionally.

This is undoubtedly a weakness for a person who stands on a high place, but he needs these to prove that he is a man of flesh and blood, that he understands feelings, not that they control them.

Now that Su Shengbai is dead, everything that has happened seems to have become unimportant. He was thinking wildly, but there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and he instinctively looked back, and saw Gu Shiyi walking over slowly, she was wearing a filial piety dress, wrapping her figure in it, looking a little weak and petite.

The always delicate face has faded from makeup, and the plain face is facing the sky, with a hint of sickness in the whiteness, and slowly walks over, as if it is not weathered. Su Huiyi was impatient to see her, so he said, "What are you doing here?" Get out now! ”

Gu Shiyi seemed to have never heard of it, and walked over directly, first put on incense, and then knelt on the futon next to him, looking very filial, she experienced this, her eyebrows and eyes became more and more calm, and she just said: "As the daughter-in-law of the Su family, am I not qualified?" Believe it or not, I am also saddened by my father's death. ”

Su Huiyi frowned, not wanting to talk to her about these topics, but said lightly: "I want to be here by myself tonight." ”

Gu Shiyi sighed and said, "You are really domineering and stubborn. As she spoke, she turned to look at him, and said in a condescending tone, "Don't think I'm here for you, tell you that I've been doing this every day in your absence." ”

After saying that, he turned his head and added, "You said that I can act, or I know how to buy people's hearts, no matter how I am the seventh young grandmother of the Su family, I have my principles and character, and I don't have to go along with you in everything I do." ”

Su Huiyi glanced at her silently, and then stopped talking. I don't know how long it has been like this, but I just listened to the night breeze passing through the hall and blowing, and it seemed very empty and deserted.

Gu Shiyi looked at Su Shengbai's portrait, the corners of her mouth moved, and she finally couldn't hold back, and said lightly: "Actually, as early as when I got married, I had a long talk with my father, do you know what we said?" ”

She knew that Su Huiyi would not give her a reply, so she went on, "He told me about you and Shen Qiangrose without hiding anything, including his assassination of her again and again, he told me." ”

She was unconsciously a little proud, so she glanced at Su Huiyi, and saw that he had no expression on his face, as if it was a stone clay sculpture, she didn't like his appearance, so she said, "Don't you want to know, why does he refuse to let go of Shen Qiangrose?" In fact, as an outsider, I think this reason is too simple. ”

Su Huiyi's eyes drooped, and his heart turned back and forth, but he still didn't speak.

Gu Shiyi chuckled, "It's really calm, in fact, the reason is very simple, it doesn't matter about those fame, fortune and power." She turned her head to look at him, her eyes bursting with a strange light, mixed with too many mixed emotions.

At this moment, he seemed to want to capture some different expressions from his face, but he was too cold to give her the slightest response.

She finally couldn't hold her breath, "I don't want to tell you all of a sudden, just let you carry this secret for the rest of your life, and then live this life with guilt and even fear." ”
