Even if Su Yunlai knew who the final winner was, she was just an ordinary boudoir daughter in her last life, and she was still competing with her brother for favor every day, and she didn't know much about the affairs of the court, which was actually speculated by Su Yunlai herself.

Su Yunlai smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's just a little guess on my part." ”

Su Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Guess? There is a way that is unpredictable, and you can guess it accurately. ”

Su Yunlai smiled silently, in fact, she would guess that it was Li Sheng who told her that when she saw Li Sheng at Chen Gelao's house that day, Li Sheng's attitude towards her had always been suspicious, and knowing that she had said something about Wuzhou, Li Sheng began to pay attention to it.

At first, Su Yunlai thought that it was her own words that reminded Li Sheng, but after she went back, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

The Gu family has been operating at the border for many years and is deeply rooted, if it weren't for the perfect certainty, Gu Junyan would not have left rashly, and the safety of Wuzhou is beyond doubt.

Wuzhou is fine, so Li Sheng's attitude is a little intriguing, Li Sheng's face changed at that time, and his expression did not seem to be fake.

Later, Gu Junyan ordered Su Zhan to be Li Sheng's companion, indicating that her reminder was true, but what she reminded was the safety of Wuzhou, but Gu Junyan and Li Sheng obviously thought of more.

So Su Yunlai suddenly remembered an incident in her previous life, in the previous life, the emperor's birthday was also a big event, of course, with the status of the Su family, such a thing is not their turn to pay attention to, she will remember this matter, because as soon as the emperor's birthday passed, Da Liao sent envoys to negotiate peace.

This is the first time that Liao has taken the initiative to propose peace in the more than 10 years since the two countries were at war, which shows that the border pass, which has been disrupted by the war for more than ten years, has ushered in the hope of peace for the first time.

This is a major event for the entire dynasty, and it is Gu Junyan who facilitates this peace.

Since then, Gu Junyan's reputation has become greater, even surpassing his father Gu Yanshan, and as the grandfather of the emperor's eldest grandson, everyone has also begun to pay attention to the emperor's eldest grandson, who has gradually grown up.

Su Yunlai linked Li Sheng's abnormality with the events of her previous life, and she seemed to understand that in fact, Li Sheng had already prepared a birthday gift for the emperor, and it was very likely to be related to the peace of the Liao State!

So when Su Zhan said that Li Sheng asked him to help choose a birthday gift, Su Yunlai understood that this was likely to be a temptation by Li Sheng.

Su Yun looked at Su Zhan, "There is still a period of time for the birthday of the left and right saints, don't be in a hurry about this matter, third brother, if you decide to follow His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, just do it." ”

Su Zhan was a little hesitant: "It's just my father's side, will he disagree?" ”

Su Zhixun has always respected Lin Zhengan's cousin, and his brotherly relationship is very good, and Lin Zhengan is a proper royalist and firmly supports the emperor's position.

"Where is Father now?" Su Yunlai asked.

Su Zhan blinked: "It's still in Lingnan." ”

"Oh, it's so far away from the capital, don't tell him." Su Yunlai said calmly.

Su Zhan: "......"

Is that okay too?

While the brother and sister were talking, Jun Yao quietly walked in, "Miss, Mama Xu is here." ”

Mama Xu is the most faceable grandmother next to Mrs. Su, usually she comes over in person, there must be something important.

Su Yunlai said, "Please come in." ”

Mama Xu has a lot of face in front of the old lady, so even the master of Sufu is kind to her, which has always been something she is quite proud of, but Mama Xu also watches people put dishes, and she has always been smiling and welcoming to people in the second room.

But when Mama Xu came in today, her expression was faint, she saluted, and then looked at Su Yunlai and said, "The slave maid came to pass the word for the old lady, and asked Miss Seven to go to Lingyun Courtyard." ”

Su Yunlai was slightly surprised, looking at Mama Xu's salty and non-salty appearance, she nodded: "Okay, I'll change my clothes and go." ”

Su Zhan asked, "Mama Xu, what is the matter with grandmother looking for Ah Wan?" ”

Mama Xu's attitude towards Su Zhan was okay, and she showed a smile: "This slave doesn't know, the slave is here to pass on a word." ”

Su Zhan glanced at Su Yunlai, but she looked calm and composed, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he said, "I haven't seen my grandmother since I came back, and it's time to go and say hello to her old man." ”

Mama Xu seemed to be smiling, but she didn't stop her and nodded: "It's still the third young master's filial piety." ”

Su Yunlai quickly changed her clothes and walked out, she glanced at Jun Yao: "Don't follow, I'll go and say hello to my grandmother." ”

Jun Yao responded: "Yes, Miss." ”

Su Zhan accompanied Su Yunlai to Lingyun Courtyard, even Su Zhan himself couldn't tell why he felt uneasy, Su Yunlai didn't feel anything to worry about, and he didn't look shocked by honor and disgrace.

When she arrived at Lingyun Courtyard, as soon as she entered the house, Su Yunlai saw the fifth wife, not only the fifth wife, but also Su Jie, she couldn't help but suddenly realize that the fourth wife had suffered a loss, and the son came to find a place for his mother.

Although Mama Xu's attitude was cold, Mrs. Su's attitude towards Su Yunlai was good, and she nodded at her: "Ah Wan is here, it's rare that there are so many people who came today, so they all stayed here to eat with me today." ”

In the Su family, being able to be left by Mrs. Su to eat together is a kind of favored performance, in the past, only Su Zhan had such a face, and later there was another Su Jie.

Su Yunlai was slightly blessed, a little flattered, and she said with a little shyness: "Thank you grandmother." ”

Su Zhan couldn't help but glance at Su Yunlai strangely.

Old Lady Su smiled, and her tone was a little more loving, "Good boy, grandmother has something to ask you," after a pause, she looked at Su Yunlai with an inquiring look: "But you went to send someone to tell your fifth aunt, the letter from His Royal Highness the eldest grandson was lost?" ”

Su Yunlai nodded: "Yes, the granddaughter thought that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson had lost his things, and this matter was not trivial, and she was worried that her grandmother would be worried, so she asked the maid to quietly find the fifth aunt." ”

"What letters, I don't know what letters!" Su Jie said angrily: "Don't be a fool! My mother never took any letters! ”

Su Yunlai was startled, shrunk slightly, she looked at Mrs. Su with an aggrieved face: "Grandmother, the granddaughter just said that the third brother lost the letter, but she didn't say that the matter was related to the fourth aunt," After a pause, she said: "Actually, this kind of thing has happened before, not only the third brother's study, but also my study, some letters have been opened, my mother thought that it was messed up by the people in the room when they were cleaning, so she didn't pursue it, I didn't expect to lose the letter of the emperor's eldest grandson this time." ”

Mrs. Su was furious: "What? And such a thing! How dare these old slaves be so daring? Why don't you tell me? Just conniving at these slaves and bullying masters? ”

In the end, it turned out to be Su Yunlai.

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Su Yunlai's mouth, and it disappeared in a flash, and she lowered her head: "Granddaughter knows that she is wrong." ”

Mrs. Su glanced at her helplessly, and then said, "Ah Wan, you have to remember, it's just some subordinates, who don't serve well, and they send it away," after a pause, she said again: "Zhan'er, tell your grandmother, how did you lose this letter?" ”

Mrs. Wu had also asked him before, so Su Zhan said very smoothly: "I came back from the eldest grandson's mansion that day, so I came to say hello to my grandmother, and then I went back to the study, put down my things, and the next person said that my mother wanted to see me, so I went to listen to Yuxuan, because no one dared to enter my study, and my grandson didn't think much about it, so I closed the door and walked out, and when I returned to the study and wanted to read the letter, the letter was gone." ”

This argument was also discussed by Su Yunlai and Su Zhan, and every point was calculated, for example, Su Zhan said that when he returned home, he would go to ask Mrs. Su for peace first, and wait for the Chen family to send someone to call before going to see the Chen family, which is implying that Su Zhan is closer to his grandmother than his biological mother.

Su Zhan may not know, but Su Yunlai knows that Mrs. Su cares about this very much.

Old Mrs. Su glanced at Mrs. Five, and Mrs. Five nodded imperceptibly.

Su Jie on the side sneered and said: "The third brother's memory is very good, after so many days, I still remember this detail so clearly!" It can't be written down by repeated practice, right? ”

This time, Mrs. Su, who has always been 'in love' with Su Zhan and defends him, did not open her mouth to reprimand Su Jie.

Su Zhan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him contemptuously: "I have never forgotten it since I was a child, this is talent, and people with mediocre qualifications may not be able to understand our talent, I don't blame you." ”

"You!" Su Jie glared angrily at Su Zhan.

There really is nothing more shocking than this, to be honest, Su Yunlai has always felt that her third brother's kung fu is also a kind of talent.

"Okay, okay, such a big person, and still talking like a child!" Mrs. Su smiled and played a round game.

Su Jie glanced at Mrs. Su: "Grandmother, my mother is ...... her"

Old Lady Su glanced at him lightly, Su Jie swallowed the words in his mouth, and turned his head away indignantly.

Old Lady Su looked at Su Zhan and asked, "Did Zhan'er see any suspicious people?" ”

Su Zhan looked at her strangely and said, "Grandmother, what's wrong?" Haven't you already caught the person who stole the letter? Why are you asking about this again? ”

Mrs. Su said with a smile: "Although Mrs. Li was caught, she never found the letter, and my grandmother was worried that you would not be able to explain it to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, so I thought to see if there were any clues to find the letter." ”

Su Zhan nodded, and said with a touched face: "Because of the grandson's matter, the grandmother is worried, is it the grandson's, the emperor's eldest grandson, the grandson has already told the emperor's eldest grandson, the emperor's eldest grandson is not to blame, grandmother rest assured." ”

Old Mrs. Su smiled and nodded, leaving Su Yun to eat with the two brothers and sisters, and was as kind to them as ever.

After eating, Su Yunlai and Su Zhan left Lingyun Courtyard, Su Yunlai's face suddenly sank, and Old Lady Su was suspicious.

Back to Tingyuxuan, Jun Yao walked in.

"Miss, the slave maid has already inquired, the fifth young master heard that the fourth wife was grounded because of the matter of the emperor's eldest grandson Xin, so he went to Lingyun Courtyard to find the old lady to intercede, but the fifth young master did not excuse the fourth wife, but said that he mentioned the letter, he said that Mrs. Li was dead, and the letter was not in her mother's hands, isn't this strange? Then the old lady asked Mama Xu to invite the young lady and the young master. After Jun Yao finished speaking, she paused: "Because it is in the old lady's yard, the slave maid is worried that it will alarm the old lady, so the slave maid did not ask again." ”

Before going to Lingyun Courtyard, when Su Yun came to change clothes, he instructed Jun Yao to check on the affairs of Lingyun Courtyard.

Su Yunlai did not plant eyes and ears in Lingyun Courtyard, the main reason was that he was worried about exposing himself, Lingyun Courtyard was all Old Lady Su's henchmen, if they were accidentally exposed, their situation would be passive.

Su Yunlai casually picked up a golden hairpin on the desk and gave it to her, and Jun Yao accepted it with a smile.

Winning the master's reward is also an affirmation of the big girl!

Su Yunlai didn't expect that it would be Su Jie who would be suspicious of this matter in the end, and today Mrs. Su was obviously testing them, which was already suspicious of them.

Mama Lan looked worried: "Miss, will the old lady already know what we are doing?" ”

Su Yunlai shook his head: "Not yet, if she already knew, she wouldn't have tested us today, her actions today just show that she is not sure if we calculated it." ”

"Miss, what are we going to do next?" Mama Lan asked.

Su Yunlai thought for a while, and then said: "There is no evidence left left on the left and right, so let her check it, and we will wait and see what happens." ”

Mama Lan suppressed the worry in her heart and nodded.

……

In Lingyun Courtyard, Mrs. Su had not rested yet, Mama Xu was pressing her legs, Mrs. Su was leaning on the couch with her eyes closed, and the dim light on the case shone on her indifferent face.

Mama Xu raised her head and asked cautiously, "Old lady, do you think today's incident is related to the second room?" ”

Old Mrs. Su opened her eyes, and there was a coldness in her cloudy eyes: "If the people in the second room have such ability, I can look down on them." ”

Mama Xu's heart trembled, she raised her head cautiously, and met her indifferent eyes, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Old Mrs. Su snorted coldly and said, "They are all white-eyed wolves who can't be raised, no matter how good they are to him, they will never let go when they should bite you." ”

This is talking about Su Zhan.

Mama Xu didn't answer this, and only rubbed her legs with careful force.

……

The fourth wife was also talking to Su Jie about this at this time.

Su Jie thought that this matter was inseparable from the second room, but the fourth wife didn't care: "Your second aunt is useless, and she can't use such a means." ”

Su Jie still insisted on his opinion: "But, mother, the third brother said that the letter was lost, but no one has seen the letter, and grandmother is angry with you because she thinks it is in your hands." ”

"Silly boy, do you know that it was Xiangyin next to your fifth aunt who caught the thief that day, how could it be so coincidental that she was caught by her? In my opinion, the letter is estimated to have already arrived in the hands of your fifth aunt! She thief shouts to catch the thief! The more the fourth lady said, the more she felt that this was the case: "Think about it, the old lady is originally sweet and bitter about the second room, only your fifth aunt!" She couldn't see that you were promising for a long time, so she withheld the letter and didn't want you to come out! ”

The fourth lady seemed to have finally found the truth of the matter, and the more she talked, the more angry she became, and she called: "Green willow, paper and pen are waiting." ”

Su Jie and Zhou Yan were affectionate, and they didn't want to see their mother and the fifth wife making too much trouble, so they opened their mouths to persuade: "Mother, my son thinks that the fifth aunt has no reason to do such a thing, my marriage with Yan'er has been decided, and she framed me, which is not good for her or the Zhou family, and there is no need for the fifth aunt to do such a thing." ”

"My stupid child, that Zhou Yan is just her niece, how can a niece be more important than a son? What's more, your niece-in-law? The fourth lady looked at him with a tolerant face and said, "Except for my mother, who else would think about you so wholeheartedly?" Now that you have more and more face in front of the old lady, her son has fallen out of favor, how can she look at you well? ”

After the fourth wife finished speaking, regardless of Su Jie's objection, she instructed Lu Liu: "You want to send this letter back to my mother's house and give it to my sister-in-law." ”

Although Su Jie didn't approve of what she did, he still said: "Mother, I'd better go, it's inconvenient for you now." ”

The fourth wife touched her head with satisfaction, "Jie'er, you study hard, you don't have to worry about these things, your father is useless, and my mother can only count on you, as long as you can get the favor of the second prince and have a good future, look at who else in this mansion dares to bully our mother and son!" ”

Su Jie bowed his head and said nothing, and the fourth wife quietly hooked the corners of her lips.

However, the fourth wife didn't know that when Su Jie left, he quietly found Luliu and asked for the letter written by the fourth wife, saying that he was going to deliver the letter.

Su Jie was the lifeblood of the fourth wife, and Luliu didn't dare to disobey, so he had to hand over the letter to him.

……

Two months passed in a flash, and in August, the weather became colder, and there were several autumn frosts in a row.

The life of the Su family was also peaceful, and Mrs. Su never mentioned the letter turmoil again.

On this day, it was rare for the Chen family not to detain Su Yunlai to learn from the girl, Su Yunlai was practicing calligraphy in the study, and Jun Yao hurriedly ran in from outside.

Su Yunlai kept writing, and he didn't raise his head, Jun Yao shouted in a panic: "Miss, Miss is not good!" Something is wrong! ”

Su Yunlai put away the pen unhurriedly, then raised his head and glanced at Jun Yao, and said with a smile: "What, the cat was trampled on its tail?" So flustered, what's going on? ”

Jun Yao was so anxious that she was about to cry, she stomped her feet: "Miss, there is a woman from outside the mansion today, saying yes, saying that she is pregnant with the flesh and blood of our second master, and she is bringing the child to find her father this time!" ”

Su Yunlai was slightly stunned, his brows were slightly raised, and then he put the pen in his hand aside, and then raised his head: "What about that person?" ”

"I've been invited into the house by Mama Xu, and the old lady has sent someone to invite the second wife over!" Jun Yao hurriedly said.

At this time, the Chen family had already heard the news, and her face turned pale, for her, the most important thing was her husband and a pair of children, they were her heaven and her everything.

Su Zhixun is not an amorous husband, but the two of them are also raising their eyebrows, Qin Se and Ming, Su Zhixun is not heavy, even if Su Zhan is not in good health and the heirs are thin, he did not say that he wanted to take a concubine, which is enough to move the Chen family.

But now a woman who claims to be pregnant with her husband appears, which is almost a devastating blow to Chen.

Chen's body was weak and she almost fell, but fortunately, Mama Lan quickly helped her.

Su Yunlai came at this time, and when she saw Chen's pale face, her eyes suddenly turned cold, "Mother, don't worry, we haven't seen anyone yet, don't panic now, now that my father is still in Lingnan, how can I make a woman from an unknown source pregnant?" I'm afraid this woman has no intentions, it's true! After a pause, Su Yunlai said again: "Moreover, my father has always been decent, how could he have an affair with such a woman?" ”

Hearing Su Yunlai's calm analysis, Chen cheered up slightly, and she nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, your father is not such a person, not such a person." ”

The so-called concern is chaotic, the more Chen thought about it, the more she felt that this woman was not right, and her origin was unknown, she couldn't help but hold her breath in her heart, "Go, I want to see what kind of person is coming to ruin my husband's reputation!" ”

Chen changed his frustration and worry just now, and pulled Su Yunlai straight to Lingyun Courtyard with a high spirit.

Chen walked extremely fast, and Su Yunlai almost had to trot to keep up with her, which showed the eagerness in her heart.

When I arrived at Lingyun Courtyard, I heard the cry of a woman inside: "Old lady, the concubine knows that her identity is low, and she is not worthy of the second master, and the concubine does not dare to think about it, but the child in the belly of the concubine is the flesh and blood of the second master!" ”

Mrs. Su's expression was very calm, this can finally see the difference between her mother and her stepmother, Mrs. Su said to Mama Xu: "Help people up first." ”

Hearing this, Su Yunlai took the lead in lifting the curtain and walked in with Chen, as soon as he entered the house, he saw a woman in her thirties, with a beautiful appearance, a jade belt with pear blossoms who was crying, wearing only a half-new and not old skirt, although the material was good, but it had been washed and worn, she knelt on the ground, but one hand was still protecting her lower abdomen, looking particularly pitiful and pitiful.

Old Mrs. Su glanced at Chen's and hurriedly ordered: "Second family, don't worry, mother will definitely make the decision for you!" Mrs. Su took the lead in expressing her position, and then continued: "But the second child only has a son, Zhan'er, and the heir is inevitably a little thinner, if the child in her belly is really the second child, as a wife, you must also be generous and tolerant, this is our woman's duty." ”

When Chen Shi heard this, his face turned two points whiter, he looked a little shaky, and he bit his lip, but she rarely hit Mrs. Su strongly: "What my mother said is that my daughter-in-law has always adhered to women's morals and abided by women's duties, and my daughter-in-law also knows that as a woman, she should have self-respect and self-love, and have no matchmaking with others, but it is not her duty!" ”

Old Lady Su's brows immediately wrinkled, this was the first time Chen had spoken to her like this for many years when she entered the door, which made her very uncomfortable for a while, and she completely cooled her face and stopped talking.
