Chapter 180: Give advice to Liu Da [3rd update! Please give me all kinds of advice! ]
On the street, Su Qingwan's carriage slowly moved towards the Earl of Yongkang's Mansion.
The carriage stopped when it was still some distance away from the Earl's Palace.
At this time, people were moving people inside the Earl's Mansion. These were all the people who had gone to the Marquis' Mansion to cause trouble today. Qing Er and the others had all been sent back.
There was chaos in the Earl's Mansion. Liu Funing thought that after returning to the Earl's Mansion, he would be able to deal with the people in the Marquis' Mansion. However, he not only failed to deal with them, but they also demanded 20,000 taels of silver from him.
The Earl's Mansion originally wanted to refuse to give it, but because of the incident between Zhang Jueping and Prince Rui, the Zhang family suffered a loss and bought the farm at a sky-high price. Soon after, Liu returned to the Earl's Mansion to cry and complain.
The Earl's Mansion got carried away for a moment, thinking that Little Liu was the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, but she was a concubine from the Earl's Mansion, so they took Big Liu to the Marquis' Mansion and made a scene, smashing things in the Marquis' Mansion and injuring servants. But they had no idea how powerful Su Qingwan of the Marquis' Mansion was, and Su Zhiru happened to come back and saw them.
Therefore, it was unreasonable for Su Qingwan to ask for compensation for the medicine. If the matter got out of hand, it would be their Earl's Mansion that would suffer. What's more, Su Zhiru was in the emperor's favor, and Su Qingwan had the Prince Yi's Mansion behind her, so they could not afford to offend him.
When Qingda came out, he happened to meet Qinger.
After the two of them discussed it, they went back to ask for another two hundred taels of silver as a fee for their errand before leaving the Earl's Mansion.
"Miss, Qingda and the others have all left." Zhenzhu said.
Zhenzhu held 15,000 taels of silver in her hand, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Just now, Zhenzhu also went to watch Qingda and others go to the Earl's Mansion to get the money. The faces of everyone in the Earl's Mansion were as dark as the bottom of a pot. Finally, Zhenzhu followed Su Qingwan's instructions and left five thousand taels for the people in Qinglin Village and those around her. In addition, the items looted from the people in the Earl's Mansion were also worth several thousand taels, which were all given away one by one.
"Let's keep going too."
The carriage continued to move forward and passed by the Earl of Yongkang's Mansion, but happened to meet Mrs. Liu who was in a hurry to return to the Zhang family.
Mrs. Liu stared at Su Qingwan's carriage. Although she didn't know who was sitting in the carriage, she was sure that it was from the Chengping Marquis' Mansion because the emblem in the lead had the seal of the Marquis' Mansion.
Su Qingwan gently lifted the curtain and happened to meet Mrs. Liu.
"Mrs. Zhang, you haven't gone back to find your son yet?" Su Qingwan asked with a teasing smile.
Mrs. Liu felt upset. Although it was Su Yunrouchu's idea that her son suffered, the most direct reason was Su Qingwan.
"Su Qingwan, don't be so proud. I want to see how you marry King Rui."
Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth and said.
If Prince Rui had not been a prince, she would have bitten him to death long ago, but she was helpless against him and she didn't even know who had taken her son away.
"Hehe, then you'd better watch out." Su Qingwan didn't care much.
"By the way, I guess your son should have been taken to the Rui Palace. I heard that the Concubine Shu is also in the Rui Palace now. If the Concubine is kind enough to promote Zhang Jueping to a eunuch who serves him personally, it is not impossible. If you want to save Zhang Jueping, only the current emperor can do it."
After Su Qingwan finished speaking, she lowered the curtain and the carriage continued to move forward.
Mrs. Liu was horrified. Her son went to Prince Rui's Mansion. There was no doubt that it was done by Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu wants to kill her son! Her son cannot be a eunuch! He cannot be a plaything of Prince Rui!
Although Su Qingwan is hateful, her last sentence is right. If she wants her son to live, she can only ask the emperor for help.
But she couldn't enter the palace and see the emperor, so how could she save her son?
"Madam, let's go back!" said the old woman who served Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu quickly shook her head, "No, we can't go back now."
For the sake of Prince Rui, Concubine Shu would definitely not let Zhang Jueping go. Even though her son was ruined, he was still her own flesh and blood.
It doesn't matter even if he can't have children. At worst, he can just adopt a child from a side branch and raise him under his wing. After all, they are of the same blood, and there is no difference between them.
But he must never become a eunuch, let alone a plaything of Prince Rui, because otherwise the entire Zhang family and the Earl's Mansion would become the laughing stock of the capital.
Thinking of this, Liu was determined to ask the emperor for mercy.
"Let's go to the palace."
Mrs. Liu spoke directly as if she had made up her mind.
As soon as she moved, Xiao Lin immediately told Su Qingwan about her trip to the palace.
Su Qingwan smiled gently, and Mrs. Liu had indeed gone.
As long as she kneels at the gate of the imperial city, the matter of Prince Rui will no longer be covered up. Her father has just entered the palace. If he knows that it is her future son-in-law who is messing around with Zhang Jueping, he will probably be furious.
Given my father's personality, he would definitely ask for a breakup of the engagement.
The emperor will also agree to cancel the engagement, and in order to show his sympathy for his subjects, he will say it before my father.
No matter who of them proposed it, it was a breakup anyway, and she was standing on the side of the weak. I think no one would say bad things about her breaking off the engagement, but would sympathize with her instead. That was enough.
"You go and keep an eye on it, and tell me when I return to the Marquis' Mansion." Su Qingwan asked Xiao Lin to leave.
She continued to go to the inner city gate to pick up her eldest brother.
After a while, Su Qingwan arrived at the gate of the inner city.
"Miss, we haven't seen the eldest young master's carriage coming. He should not have arrived yet." said the servant who came to keep an eye on him in advance.
Su Qingwan nodded, and after waiting for about a cup of tea, she heard someone shouting outside.
"Here he comes, the young master is here."
Zhenzhu quickly rolled up the curtain. After Su Qingwan went out, she grinned at her elder brother who was waving at her, looking very happy.
"Brother, you've worked hard." Su Qingwan looked at Su Yuewen carefully and found that there were dark circles under his eyes. It must have been very hard for him to study hard.
"I'm fine. Is everything okay at home?" Su Yuewen had spent the past ten days studying in the Imperial Academy and had not even left the gate.
Su Qingwan told Su Yuewen everything that had happened recently.
After Su Yuewen heard this, he was stunned, and his face turned from pale to red, and finally to iron blue.
"Asshole! He actually indulges in homosexuality, and he even does such obscene things with people in front of someone else's funeral hall. This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous!"
Su Yuewen slapped the small square table in the carriage, making it clatter.
How could such a man be worthy of his sister!
Break off the engagement! You must break off the engagement!
"Brother, don't be angry! By the way, Dad came back today, but he didn't stay at home for long. He went to the palace to meet the emperor. I haven't had time to tell him about Prince Rui's ridiculous behavior." Su Qingwan said again.
"Dad is back? That's great!"
Su Yuewen was delighted.
"I'll just tell my father about this. As a girl, you should forget about it. It's too dirty."
"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you." Su Qingwan agreed quickly.
Anyway, no matter who tells my father about this, he will explode.
The two siblings strolled towards the marquis's mansion. When they passed by Fumanlou, they went in and bought two boxes of snacks.
However, when they arrived at the gate of the marquis's mansion, they saw a luxurious carriage parked outside the mansion, with a beardless eunuch and two maids in palace costumes standing beside the carriage.
As soon as Su Qingwan got off the car, the eunuch stepped forward and saluted:
"Excuse me, are you the fourth lady of Chengping Marquis's Mansion, Su Qingwan?"
"I am. I wonder what the father-in-law wants to talk to me about?"
"I am here to take the Fourth Miss to the palace to meet His Majesty, following His Majesty's order. Please come in, Fourth Miss."
Su Qingwan did not get in the car immediately, but said:
"Please wait for a moment, sir. I will go and report to my mother."
"That's not necessary. Madam is already in the carriage and she will go to the palace as well."
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, Jiang lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Su Qingwan.
"Okay!" Su Qingwan looked at Su Yuewen after she finished speaking, "Brother, my mother and I will go to the palace and we will probably be back soon."
"I'll go with you." Su Yuewen guessed that the emperor asked them to come to the palace most likely to talk about Prince Rui.
"Alright! Let's go then."
Su Qingwan got on the carriage prepared by the palace, and Su Yuewen followed behind in the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion, and they walked towards the palace together.
In Rong'an Hall, after knowing that the mother and daughter of the third wife had entered the palace, Old Kang snorted coldly:
"It's just entering the palace, what's the big deal? I think they are probably going to urge Su Qingwan and Prince Rui to get married quickly. Now this girl will be a widow after she gets married, haha."
