Fengxiang Palace.
"Ling family..." Su Yunluan was stunned when she saw the information she found about her family.
"Ling Wu, who was only nine years old at the time, dared to kill his cousin?" Su Yunluan was really shocked.
Su Yunqing’s first fiancée was their mother’s niece, and therefore their cousin.
It turned out that this cousin was killed by the Ling family!
"This was found out by Seventeenth Uncle. Madam Ling intervened back then. She instigated people from my mother's family to take action. Later, it was them who took action, which is why my cousin was bedridden and didn't recover so quickly." Su Yunqing frowned.
Although he had almost no feelings for his fiancée, it was a life after all. She was killed just because she was engaged to him, and he felt very guilty about it.
That was not someone else, but someone from his mother's family.
Before the incident with his cousin, his mother's family took great care of him and his sister, so he had no objection when the two families wanted to continue the marriage.
But after this incident with his cousin, their attitude towards the Su family and him became very subtle.
Later, all four of his fiancées met with accidents, and his reputation as a "wife-killer" became widespread. The attitude of the other side towards him became even colder, especially the two who had lost their daughters, whose attitudes towards him were even worse.
If it weren't for the Su family behind him, if he wasn't really that outstanding, they might even speak coldly to him and kick him out every time he visited his grandparents.
I didn't expect that there was such a reason behind it.
Wushuang also saw the news. She originally thought that Su Yunqing was indeed destined to be unlucky in marriage. Although she didn’t understand numerology, wasn’t that the case with the male protagonist in the novel?
But when she saw the results of the investigation, she was also shocked.
Holding her four-month-old belly, she said in shock, "Should I thank this Miss Ling Wu? If it weren't for her, Wen Yan's first woman wouldn't be me."
Yes, this was Wushuang’s first reaction after seeing these things.
That Miss Ling Wu killed all the people around Su Yunqing who might become his woman, but in the end she got the advantage for nothing.
Tsk tsk tsk, Su Yunqing's virginity fell into her hands.
Miss Ling Wu didn't even know about this.
After hearing what she said, Su Yunluan and Su Yunqing, brother and sister, looked at her. Seeing that she looked as if she was wondering whether she should thank Miss Ling Wu or mourn for the girls who lost their lives first, the corners of their mouths twitched.
Su Yunluan withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at this annoying thing who was not her sister-in-law but looked like one.
Su Yunqing looked at her with a gentle and doting smile.
"We don't need to deal with Miss Ling Wu ourselves. We just need to tell the people who killed the girls."
"Although Wen Yan is also involved in this, isn't the Ling family the culprit? They will solve it themselves." Su Yunluan said, looking at the stack of papers in her hand.
You know, the girls who were engaged to Su Yunqing at the time all came from good families. Although the Ling family is a big family, those families are not big families?
and……
Su Yunluan saw that in addition to Su Yunqing's fiancée, there were some girls who had clearly expressed their admiration for Su Yunqing and had told their sisters that it would be great if they could marry Su Yunqing, and they also suffered the consequences.
For example, Miss Zheng San, who was from the family of the Minister of Rites and was hastily married to Lingnan recently, was also one of the victims.
The Zheng family’s reputation is now damaged, and it was the Ling family who did it.
In addition to the Zheng family, some aristocratic families in the capital, even royal families, and princes, had their daughters harmed by the Ling family.
"The Ling family is so unscrupulous. Do they think they are still in the glorious days of the past? They actually offend people like this." Su Yunluan sneered as she looked at the number of people who had been schemed against by the Ling family.
Although the aristocratic families have been passed down for hundreds of years, and there is a saying that "dynasties come and go, but aristocratic families remain forever", in fact, by this generation, the power of the aristocratic families has been suppressed.
Several generations of emperors of the Zhou Dynasty were committed to cracking down on the aristocratic families. By the time of Zhou Guangye's generation, the aristocratic families were suppressed.
The old emperor Zhou Guangye was just like Emperor Xuanzong in history. He was a very good monarch in his early years, but he started to enjoy himself when he got older and did some absurd things.
Now that he has become lax in his studies after growing old, does the Ling family really think that the status of the aristocratic family is still superior to that of the royal family?
Does the Ling family really think that they are so powerful?
Su Yunqing also agreed to tell the other families that had been plotted against by the Ling family about everything they had done. In addition to the murder of their daughter, the Ling family had plotted against other families in many other ways.
In order to prevent some families from not valuing their daughters and thinking that it is not worthwhile to go against a big family like the Ling family for the sake of a daughter, Su Yunqing, Su Yunluan, and other people in the Su family plan to put other things on the table as well.
Some families don’t value daughters, but what about sons?
Or is it the interests of the aristocratic family?
The world is bustling with people seeking profit, and the world is bustling with people seeking profit.
Profits are the most important thing.
…
"Is your belly too big?" Su Yunqing looked at Wushuang's belly and asked with concern. He had rarely seen pregnant people. After all, neither his mother nor Su Yunluan had ever been pregnant in front of him.
As for the other pregnant women, he did not pay attention to them in order to avoid suspicion.
But Wushuang is only four months pregnant, why does her belly look so big?
"Is it true that the belly will grow so big after being pregnant for more than four months?" Su Yunqing asked as he touched her belly. The belly looked so big, as if she was about to give birth.
Su Yunluan looked at her brother and said helplessly, "Wushuang is pregnant with quintuplets. Do you think her belly is big?"
"Five... five?" Su Yunqing was shocked.
His wife was pregnant with five children?
And why did he only find out after more than four months that his wife was pregnant with five children?
"You don't know? Didn't we tell you?" Su Yunluan looked at him in surprise.
Su Yunqing looked at her sister with some resentment, "No one has ever told me."
Su Yunluan smiled and said, "Oh, maybe you were too busy before, so I didn't tell you?"
"After Wushuang was three months pregnant, I asked the imperial physician to check her pulse. The physician said she was pregnant with quintuplets."
It was a rule not to tell others until the pregnancy was three months old. Although Su Yunluan knew about it early on, he still helped her keep it a secret for the first three months.
Of course, this is not something that can be concealed. Someone who is paying attention can still find out that Wushuang is pregnant.
It was just because Su Yunluan protected her, so Wushuang didn't encounter any trouble.
When the imperial physician announced that Wushuang was pregnant with quintuplets, the envy and jealousy of the women in the harem towards Wushuang almost shrouded the palace like a dark cloud.
The old emperor Zhou Guangye was even more excited when he learned that Wushuang was pregnant with quintuplets. He felt that it was because he was still strong and healthy that he could make his beautiful wife pregnant with so many children. He was so happy that he promoted Wushuang.
"I'm a talented person now~" Wushuang said to Su Yunqing with a smile.
Su Yunqing: “…”
