Just after autumn, the Su family packed their luggage to return to Beijing, and this time Gu Junyan sent someone to personally escort them back, and with them was Xu Guanyi.

After Gu Junyan accepted the fact that Su Yun came back to Beijing, he began to prepare, he was a young general, he was used to seeing life and death, and after accepting it, he was relieved, but only he knew how reluctant he was behind his back.

If it weren't for the last resort, the people in the second room of the Su family didn't want to go back to Beijing, but now that the matter is urgent, they are helpless.

Su Chen didn't want to go back, in Xuzhou, he was outstanding in front of the four princes, and he was more and more valued, but this time the four princes couldn't go back because they were still responsible for the aftermath of the disaster, and the four princes were worried that Emperor Qianyuan would attach too much importance to Qi Shuying, so he couldn't rest assured, so he asked Su Chen to go back with them, and now that he was away from the four princes, he was very worried that the four princes would be light on him.

Xu Guanyi was not reluctant, he couldn't help himself when he returned to Beijing, but when he learned that Su Yun was traveling all the way, the haze in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but they still hit the road.

The weather has started to get colder, because of the previous flood, the road is frozen, the road is quite difficult, and there are female dependents, so the journey is even slower.

Especially not long after she was on the road, maybe it was running around for days, coupled with the bad weather, Chen was infected with wind and cold, and fell ill, although Qi Shuying prescribed medicine, but the illness was like a thread, and she didn't dare to let the emperor wait longer, she was in better health, so she insisted on going on the road.

It was useless for Su Yunlai and Su Zhan to persuade him, so Su Yunlai told the leader to stop more along the way to let Chen rest.

On this day, the convoy stopped to rest, and Chen drove Su Yunlai to walk outside.

"The weather is good today, the sun is very full, Ah Wan, you can also go out to breathe." Chen Shi said to Su Yun with a distressed face: "You have taken care of me these days, and staying in the carriage all day is not good for your health. ”

Su Yunlai didn't want to argue with her over such a trivial matter, and disobeyed her, so he took Jun Yao out of the carriage, and then saw Xu Guanyi sitting in front of the tree, arguing and watching Xiaobao practice martial arts.

"If you put half of your martial arts practice energy into reading and writing, I won't worry so much." Xu Guan said with a headache.

Xiaobao didn't hear it, he walked seriously with a small face, and when he saw Su Yunlai walking out, he blinked, suddenly took his work, and then ran to Su Yunlai.

Su Yunlai looked inexplicable, and the little guy took out a few cyan fruits from his purse and handed them to Su Yunlai.

Su Yunlai was slightly stunned: "For me?" ”

Xiaobao nodded vigorously, Su Yunlai was even more suspicious, why did he give her the fruit? Watching him carefully put the fruit in his purse, I thought about it and cherished it very much.

Xu Guanyi walked over at this time, smiled and said, "He's apologizing to you, last time he didn't look at the puppy and caused you to fall, so I feel sorry." ”

As soon as Xu Guan finished speaking, he touched Xiaobao's head with satisfaction, and was glared at fiercely by the little thing, the head of the peerless master cannot be touched indiscriminately, even if the peerless master is still just a child.

Children who know how to be grateful and apologize are always cute.

Su Yunlai stretched out his hand to take it, wiped it casually with a handkerchief, and then took a bite, the fruit was green and astringent, and the taste was really not good, but this was the most sincere apology that a little boy could give.

"If you feel guilty, you have to study hard." Su Yunlai bent down and looked into Xiaobao's eyes and said.

Although Xiaobao was thin, he had a pair of dark and bright eyes, and those eyes were shining brightly, and when he heard Su Yunlai's words, his expression stiffened slightly, and he turned his head and ran back to practice martial arts.

A little child would be angry.

Su Yun looked at Xu Guanyi, and she asked with some hesitation, "Xu Gongzi's body has recovered?" If you are in such a hurry to enter Beijing, you also have something important to do, right? ”

Su Yunlai didn't know about Gu Junyan sending Xu Guanyi back to Li Sheng, Xu Guanyi was not surprised, he smiled slightly: "My body has improved a lot, Miss Qi's medical skills Miss Su should know, there is another way to go back to Beijing this time, and it is also my blessing to be able to serve His Royal Highness the eldest grandson." ”

Gu Junyan didn't mention Xu Guanyi's matter, and Xu Guanyi didn't sue Su Yunlai, this was a matter between two men, there was no need to do anything in front of her, that was his last pride for men.

He was embarrassed enough to be thrown away from her, and if he was allowed to pour out his humiliation to her, he would look down on him.

He used his own way to save his face and also maintain Gu Junyan's face.

Su Yunlai nodded, with her intelligence, she could naturally guess the mystery, but she didn't take it to heart, Gu Junyan had his reasons for doing everything, she believed that every decision he made was deliberate and calmly considered, she would not ignore his decision because of her special changes to him, let alone interfere.

It is true that Su Yunlai also understands that this is a matter between them.

"Is Mrs. Sue feeling better?" Xu Guanyi asked with concern: "I used to live in Su Mansion, and my second wife took good care of me, and I am really grateful. ”

Su Yunlai nodded: "It's already a lot better, Shuying's medical skills, Xu Gongzi should understand." ”

Xu Guan was stunned one by one and couldn't help but smile.

The two of them just said something innocuous and insignificant, Xu Guan took the scale just right, and then went to teach Xiaobao his homework, and he didn't entangle, he really looked like a gentleman like jade, which made people feel dissatisfied.

Therefore, Su Yunlai and Su Zhan have an excellent impression of Xu Guanyi.

Walking and stopping, passing by Chenglu Temple on the way, Su Yunlai couldn't help but be in a trance, last year it was also at this time, she met Gu Junyan on the way back to Beijing, she met Gu Junyan who was evading the pursuit, I didn't expect the time to be so fast, a year has passed in a flash, and too many things have really happened in this year.

Thinking of this, Su Yunlai sighed slightly, in order to make extraneous branches, Su Yunlai did not stop at Chenglu Temple.

Chen's illness gradually recovered, and the capital was in sight.

The people of the Su family wanted to return to Su Mansion, and Xu Guanyi was going to report to Changsun Mansion, and the group parted ways.

returned to the Su family, this time Mrs. Su did not send Mama Xu out to greet her, only a mother-in-law stood in front of the door and welcomed Chen and the others into the house.

Chen then proposed to go to Mrs. Su to say goodbye, but when she arrived at Lingyun Courtyard, she didn't see Mrs. Su.

Mama Xu walked out, still smiling, but her eyes were very distant: "Second wife, it's really unfortunate that the old lady has already rested." ”

Su Zhan frowned: "Rested?" On weekdays, my grandmother didn't rest so early. ”

Although Chen is not smart, she is a sensitive person, she quickly noticed that Mrs. Su's attitude was different, and she was thinking about whether she had done something wrong, so Su Yunlai pulled the corner of her clothes.

Su Yunlai smiled at Mama Xu: "Mother, since Grandmother has rested, we can't bother, Grandmother knows about Mother's filial piety, and she has to bother Mama Xu, and when Grandmother wakes up, she will send someone to tell us, so we can say hello to Grandmother, these days, Mother and Third Brother are thinking about Grandmother." ”

The smile on Mama Xu's face remained unchanged: "Miss Seven, don't worry, the slave can save it." ”

Su Yunlai pulled Chen back to listen to Yuxuan, okay, Mrs. Su didn't even want to do it this time, listening to Yuxuan's master's absence, the subordinates were lazy and slippery, and they had already accumulated a room of ashes, Mama Lan commanded the little maids to clean up the room, and the little maids responded with their mouths, but their movements were not very sharp, and Mama Lan was so angry that she trembled.

Su Yunlai watched all this coldly, Jun Yao and the little maid had already cleaned up the room of Chen and Su Yunlai, and invited them to go over to rest.

"Miss, madam, the slave maid just heard someone say, I heard someone say it......" Jun Yao looked indignant.

"When did you learn to swallow and speak, and then stopped?" Su Yunlai glanced at her.

Jun Yao pursed her lips and said unhappily: "The slave maid just heard that the fourth young master just went to Lingyun Courtyard, and Mrs. Su talked to him for a while. ”

Su Zhan's face changed suddenly.

Chen looked uneasy, she was not a smart woman, she was very concerned about her mother-in-law's attitude towards her.

"Ah Wan, did you say that we came back late, and your grandmother was unhappy?" Chen asked apprehensively.

Su Yun glanced at her and sighed slightly, this time even Su Zhan didn't speak, he looked at Su Yunlai: "Do you know why?" ”

Su Yunlai said lightly: "I heard that the emperor has decreed that his cousin has been sentenced for his crimes, exiled for three thousand miles, and will set off soon." ”

And the biggest backer of the Su family's second room is Lin Zhengan, now Lin Zhengan's crime has been decided, he has offended the emperor, and there is no day to turn over.

Su Zhan's expression froze, he glared at Su Yunlai, he had always been reluctant to admit that Mrs. Su's love for him was false, but now he would not open his mouth to defend Mrs. Su again.

It's still a little uneasy to say, he used to respect his grandmother so much, it turns out that a grandfather and grandson love is just a joke.

A touch of complexity flashed in Chen's eyes, and he sighed softly and patted Su Zhan's hand.

Su Zhan was slightly stunned: "Mother." ”

"Alas, Zhan'er, no matter what she has done, true or false, grandmother has loved you." Chen said gently, looking at his son's eyes with pity.

She is not a smart mother, and she doesn't even know how to comfort her sad and disappointed son, but she is a kind woman who is always willing to face unfair treatment with the greatest kindness.

Because she already has the most cherished things and is already satisfied, she doesn't take those mistreats and grievances to heart.

Su Zhan looked at his mother's gentle eyes, and the discomfort in his heart finally dissipated a little, he had a tolerant and kind mother, and a smart and clever sister, their love for him was sincere, why should he be sad for hypocrisy and let them worry?

Qi Shuying watched their family lean together and support each other, a flash of envy flashed in her eyes, family, it is really an enviable thing.

Qi Shuying quietly retreated and went to help clean up the salute, she was an outsider, so she didn't feel humiliated in the face of Mrs. Su's cold treatment, she was just a little distressed for Su Zhan, such a proud person.

"Third brother doesn't have to be sad," Su Yunlai hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Maybe tomorrow you will be grandmother's favorite grandson." ”

Su Zhan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and Su Yunlai said meaningfully: "The emperor will definitely recruit Shuying into the palace tomorrow." ”

The emperor values Qi Shuying, and even his favorite son is in his throat, how blessed is this? I'm afraid that even Lin Zhengan doesn't have this honor, and Qi Shuying has a close relationship with the second room, so Mrs. Su will not let go of this opportunity.

Su Zhan was noncommittal.

Early in the morning of the second day, Emperor Qianyuan couldn't wait to send someone to invite Qi Shuying into the palace, and sent the most relied on Zhao Gonggong, the chief manager of the Ouchi, Zhao Gonggong came to Su Mansion, and the whole house was shocked, and several lords at home personally came forward to receive him, and Zhao Gonggong was not very face-saving.

"Our family is just speaking for the emperor, and Fifth Master Su doesn't have to be so polite." Gonggong Zhao held his head high and only gave Su Zhimin an afterglow from the corner of his eye.

As soon as Qi Shuying came out, Zhao Gonggong's face changed and he greeted him with a smile on his face: "This is Miss Qi, right?" Yo, let our family wait, the emperor has asked several times, Miss Qi, please be careful of the steps. After a pause, he glared at the little eunuch beside him: "Do you have any eyesight, why don't you help the girl get into the sedan chair!" ”

Qi Shuying won't even walk.

Zhao Gonggong's attitude represents the emperor's attitude, who the emperor trusts and who he favors, no one knows better than him, but now Zhao Gonggong's attitude is not clear enough?

Su Zhimin's son is still the companion of the four princes, and now the four princes are also invisible princes, but Zhao Gonggong still does not pretend to Su Zhimin, so you can know the emperor's attitude.

Sending Gonggong Zhao away, everyone in the Su family couldn't sit still, and hurriedly rushed to Lingyun Courtyard to ask Mrs. Su to take an idea.

When Mrs. Su heard this, she also looked solemn, and finally smashed the cup with hatred.

"Why is he so good! Without Lin Zhengan, another medical girl has appeared! Why was he bumped into again! Old Mrs. Su shouted loudly, her heart fluctuated violently, and her eyes were cold and gloomy.

The people in the room were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and Mama Xu hurriedly went to give Mrs. Su a good breath: "Old lady, you can dissipate your anger, and the one who laughs last laughs the best." ”

As he spoke, there was a commotion outside.

"Yo, grandmother came to summon me, the fifth young master has to bring a concubine, it's really shameless!" Du Yue's arrogant voice came from outside the door.

In August this year, Su Jie married Zhou Yan, the niece of the fifth wife, according to the marriage contract, Su Jie was quite dissatisfied with Du Yue'e, and had affection for Zhou Yan, after entering the door, he pampered the second room, Du Yue'e was dissatisfied, and often found trouble with Zhou Yan, and now the fourth room is even more lively.

On weekdays, Zhou Yan generally doesn't care about Du Yue'e, she can endure it, her forbearance and generosity have won Su Jie's pity, but today she raised her head and said stubbornly: "I, I'm not a concubine, I'm my husband's wife!" ”

"Flat wife? There is only one original wife, even if it is a stepfamily, then she calls herself a concubine in front of the original partner, and your Zhou family still says that it is a scholarly family, don't you even understand this truth? Du Yue'e shouted angrily.

When Su Jie heard this, he was furious: "Du Yue! Have you made enough trouble! ”

Old Mrs. Su also heard Du Yue's words, her face suddenly sank, and she slapped the table: "Okay!" There are no rules in this house! ”

Hearing Mrs. Su's voice, Su Jie and his wife hurriedly walked in, Du Yue'e was not too afraid, she had already understood that her maiden family was her confidence in the house, not the man's love.

So if Du Yue'e and Zhou Yan have any disputes on weekdays, Mrs. Su protects Du Yue'e.

"Grandmother, look at ......" Du Yue'e was about to sue again, but at the cold eyes of Mrs. Shangsu, her voice couldn't help but stop abruptly.

"I gave you a few colors on weekdays, but you are so lawless, you don't even pay attention to your elders! Our Su family's century-old reputation can't accommodate such a daughter-in-law! Mrs. Su shouted angrily: "You go back to the ancestral hall for me to think about the past!" ”

"Thought?" Du Yue'e looked incredulous, her eyes widened, who knew that what she said just now was poking at the deepest pain in Mrs. Su's heart.

Mrs. Su was angry, Du Yue'e was also a little stunned, and Mama Xu took her mother-in-law to press her down.

Zhou Yan hooked the corners of her lips without a trace, and then lowered her head.

Su Jie stepped forward, and Old Lady Su glanced at him with disgust: "I don't expect you to have any great achievements, as a man, at least you have to restrain your wife!" ”

Su Jie lowered his head and stepped aside, and Mrs. Su waved her hand: "Okay, okay, I'm going to discuss things with your brother, you go back and take care of the affairs of the inner courtyard." ”

The inner courtyard was originally in charge of a woman, but Su Jie was in charge of it, which was a great shame for a man, Su Jie's eyes were suddenly red, but he didn't dare to say more, turned around and walked out, without even saluting.

Old Mrs. Su looked angry again: "It's the opposite! It's the other way around! It's the other way around! Now there are no rules in this house! ”

Mrs. Su Wu looked like she had nothing to do with herself, and it was not her son who was scolded anyway, but she still opened her mouth: "Mother, let's think about Miss Qi, it seems that the emperor relies on Miss Qi very much." ”

Mrs. Su took a deep breath at this time, gradually calmed down, and secretly pondered in her heart, and after a long while, she said, "This Qi girl, she shouldn't have been married yet, right?" ”

Mrs. Su Wu was stunned, she glanced at her maid, and the maid shook her head slightly.

Qi Shuying only entered the mansion yesterday, no one took this girl seriously, and thought it was Chen's rough maid, who would want to inquire about her?

"This shouldn't be there yet...... Mrs. Su Wu said uncertainly, "I think this girl used to be just a rural village girl, and she didn't know how to get lucky, and there were no elders around her." ”

Mrs. Su glared at her and said resentfully, "How do you become a wife?" I don't know what kind of people are from the house! ”

Mrs. Su hadn't scolded Mrs. Fifth for a long time, after all, Mrs. Five's son was angry, and he was really angry today.

Mrs. Su Wu hurriedly bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

Mrs. Su snorted coldly: "Country village girl? A rural village girl can cure the plague that even the imperial doctors can't cure? A rural village girl can make the emperor treat him so differently? You're still short-sighted! ”

I have to say that Mrs. Su's vision is still very sharp, and she can see the key at a glance, and Mrs. Su Wu is also convinced, and hurriedly responded: "Daughter-in-law naturally can't compare with her mother." ”

The depression in Mrs. Su's heart dissipated a little, she was silent for a while, and then said, "Chen'er's marriage will be put aside in advance." ”

Su Chen's marriage is also a major event for the Su family, he has also reached his age, and the fifth wife originally planned to celebrate the New Year, and after the beginning of spring, she will go out and walk around to see if there is a suitable girl.

Now that Su Chen has a face in front of the four princes, and the marriage is even more important, the fifth wife can't wait to check all the girls in the capital and find a unique girl for her son.

It is too important for a man to marry, and if he is not careful, he will easily have a restless house - just look at the fourth room.

Now listening to the meaning of Mrs. Su's words, I'm afraid that Su Chen will marry the Qi girl?

Mrs. Su Wu is unwilling to do it anyway, although Qi Shuying is said to have the emperor's blue eyes, but she is an orphan girl, has no family, has no power and power, and says that she is a medical girl, she treats people, and she doesn't know the taboo at all, Chen'er married her, I am afraid that she will lose all her face.

"Mother!" Mrs. Su Wu hurriedly called: "Wouldn't this be too reckless?" This Qi girl, there are no elders in the family, don't be the fate of the Tiansha Lone Star, when the time comes, marry back, isn't it against our Chen'er? And the daughter-in-law heard that when she was at the border, she ate and lived with those patients, and this spread out, so let's be a person in Chen'er? ”

In fact, Mrs. Su was also a little hesitant, she only had Su Chen's grandson to count on.

"What are you panicking about? Isn't it better to see the situation first? If the emperor really values her, there is no harm in Chen'er marrying her, and when she enters the door, she is her daughter-in-law, and it is not up to you to say it at that time? Old Lady Su said indifferently, with an extremely ruthless indifference in her tone.

A woman enters the backyard, whether she is alive or dead, there are more doorways inside, and when the time comes, Su Chen will be reused by the emperor, if there is a woman with a prominent family background and a noble birth, when the time comes, it will be a means, whether it is a person or a tablet, it is just a matter of thought, and it can't hinder the future of her grandson.

Mrs. Su Wu is still reluctant, even if Qi Shuying is killed by then, but the man who loses his wife will also be criticized, and then those girls from good families are afraid that they will not be willing.

Mrs. Su Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with killing Qi Shuying at that time, but she was worried that it would affect her son's reputation, so she and Mrs. Su really deserved to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"But it's up to the mother." Mrs. Su Wu didn't dare to be disobedient, and answered in a low voice, but only she knew what she thought in her heart.

Mrs. Su was very satisfied with her attitude, and pointed and said, "When Miss Qi comes back, you should also go over and walk around and inquire, this is also for your son's future." ”

"Yes, my daughter-in-law wrote it down."
