Chapter 293 Meeting the Love Rival

But now, Su Shengsheng has to make preparations for both scenarios.

She had to take out the inventory that had accumulated in Xie Xuan's mansion for many years and pick out some items that did not represent an identity and put them up for sale.

But this action alone was quickly discovered by the outside world.

To say that she says one thing and does another is simply a lie.

She wanted the common people and merchants to continue saving money, but because the amount was not enough, she pretended that she would not give money to redeem the people.

Even the valuable items that flowed out of her palace were displayed on the street, attracting onlookers.

In this regard, Su Shengsheng had to admit that her brain really crashed.

She even fell for such a trick.

But now, she has entered, and all Xie Xuan's efforts have been in vain.

You can't really lead the Qilin Army in rebellion.

She stopped. Was she just going to watch and do nothing?

Communications... weapons... money...

Diplomacy... Political enemies... Trade...

It seems that every road is blocked.

Outside, a wave of doubt soon arose.

Merchants began to withdraw money in front of the Su family bank.

This momentum still caused panic.

Maybe whatever she does is just a butterfly effect.

Even if she changes something, it will eventually return to its original track.

The thousands of merchants who were responsible for lending money to the people to build greenhouses also came when they heard the news.

The fact that Su Shengsheng didn't dare to show up because of severe morning sickness made them believe it.

The entire chain network seemed to be collapsing on her at this moment.

"Xie Xuan..."

After Su Shengsheng finished vomiting, she returned to the couch weakly.

She really didn't even have the energy to scold him.

However, she really missed him.

How dare they bully her like this with him around?

That Gou Emperor is really not afraid that she won’t rebel!

"Miss." Qing Ning came over with hot and sour noodles. Seeing her like this, she felt angry and distressed.

Qingran packed up his things before opening the window to ventilate.

In order to avoid being known by the outside world, they didn't even step out of the house.

For the past two months, I have been living in fear every day.

Ning Yu adjusted her pillow and sighed silently.

What should I do if this goes on?

A month has passed since the news from Beirong arrived.

But they couldn't do anything.

Looking at Su Shengsheng's rapidly thinning cheeks, Qingning also burst into tears.

"Miss, my brother said that the young master of the Bai family has deposited nearly one million silver taels in various places. And the Qilin Army has also deposited their newly received military pay."

With their support, the Su family will not collapse.

Su Shengsheng burst into tears.

Now the emperor has completely blocked the Su family, and the Jun family is directly adding insult to injury. Even if she wants to fight back, she has no position to retaliate.

At such a difficult time, the young master of the Bai family and the soldiers were still willing to hand over their savings and show their trust.

However, this trust is too heavy.

She really had no other way to save Xie Xuan.

She even began to despair, fearing that Beirong would get the money and still refuse to release him.

She even thought that she shouldn't insist on it.

Only force can give them the justice they deserve.

But, can they afford this price?

It seems... the only option is treason...

Seeing Su Shengsheng remain silent, Qing Ning and the others looked at each other, but could only watch helplessly.

The young lady can't even leave the house now.

Even if the young master of the Bai family attracted some foreign merchants, it would be a drop in the bucket.

It would take time to open up maritime trade with foreign countries, and even Emperor Gou would not allow it.

At that time, just one imperial decree will be enough to make everything go down the drain.

But, are we really just going to sit there and wait for death?

It’s not that they are pessimistic or don’t trust Su Shengsheng’s abilities.

The lady is really surrounded by enemies and is powerless.

If this continues, they are afraid that they will lose the child...

Qing Ning hesitated again and again, "Miss, Jun Yao wants to see you."

Although she knew that the other party must have a trick up their sleeve, Jun Yao did not fight with them. She only wanted to bring down the Su family bank.

Qing Ning also had to pass on the message.

Perhaps, it is time to give conditions.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here to talk when the Su family fell to the bottom.

Jun Yao?

Su Shengsheng rubbed his heavy brows, but had a guess in his mind.

She looked out the window and took a slow breath.

"Give me an anti-nausea medicine."

…

Tangquan Tea House

After entering the room designated by Jun Yao, Su Shengsheng asked Qing Ning and the other two to wait outside.

Jun Yao also waved her hand to let Qi Man leave.

When rivals meet, it should be a scene of earth-shattering devastation.

But unexpectedly, it was like the late autumn wind outside the window.

Desolate and bleak, like the falling leaves.

On Jun Yao's beautiful face, there was a smile as she watched the enemy's dying struggle, as if they were fish stuck in the mud and unable to escape on their own.

When she proposed to enter the palace as the principal wife, Su Shengsheng almost thought it was an auditory hallucination.

But before coming here, she had anticipated this.

"Are you going to betray the emperor?" Or rather, the Jun family.

Jun Yao ignored her question and smiled coldly.

"You could have saved him, but you gave up."

She slowly stood up and approached Su Shengsheng step by step.

"You knew that Beirong only wanted the communication. Even if you gave it to him and angered the emperor, as long as you saved Xie Xuan, he would naturally exempt your Su family from the death penalty for treason, but you didn't save him."

The rich fragrance coming from the wind made Su Shengsheng feel a tightness in her chest.

When she got in front of him, he quickly stood up and went to the window.

But this act of running away made Jun Yao think she was hit.

She did not move forward, but the sound continued to pursue her.

“Yes, I know that even if Xie Xuan is rescued like this, he will still have no place to stand.

By then, no one would respect him as the God of War of Nanling anymore. Instead, they would spit on him, leaving Nanling with no chance of recovery.

Or maybe, Xie Xuan is not that important in your heart."

It's not speculation, but certainty.

Su Shengsheng had to admit that she did hesitate when the trade route was blocked.

This has nothing to do with whether it is worth it or not, and it has nothing to do with the interests of the country and the nation.

But...

She feared the destruction she would bring...

Now, she has reached the critical point, only one step away...

But this step will involve her...them...and even Nanling.

Outside the window, pedestrians are hurrying.

Even though they were just busy filling their stomachs, they were peaceful.

But once war breaks out, and even weapons of destruction appear...

It will never end and will cause great suffering to all.

She and he really couldn't afford such a price.

Perhaps it was her lack of objection that pleased her.

Jun Yao laughed softly, "I just want you to disappear between him and me. That shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Was he poisoned to death like Ji Cong? Or was he used like Fan Wenchang, unaware of his own mistakes and falling into traps? Or was he buried in the fire at Shixianglou for no apparent reason?"

Su Shengsheng suppressed the tightness in her chest and looked back at her.

Jun Yao raised her eyebrows, and her expression was very similar to Xie Xuan's former arrogance.

"What I want is for you not to save me. I want him to understand who is worthy of his love."

It’s such a simple reason.

However, this sentence is worth a million gold ingots.

"Okay, I promise you." Su Shengsheng agreed lightly.
