Late at night, the corner door of the Su Mansion was knocked on loudly. The servant inside seemed to have been waiting for the knock and opened the door quickly.

Outside the door were the carriages and horses from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The servant bowed towards the carriage and stepped aside to make way.

At an angle where no one could see, the servant smiled contemptuously. A few days ago, Aunt Liu sent someone to tell him that the Madam should enter through this corner door when she returned.

When the time comes, she asked him to open the door smartly so as not to delay their return home. Before leaving, the man gave her a handful of silver coins, which were equivalent to two months' salary for her.

It has been five years. The mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion has actually been changed a long time ago. Thinking of this, the servant looked at the carriage with sympathy. The mother and daughter must be very upset when they come back.

"Wait." A thin girl came out from the back of a carriage. When she saw that they were going to go through the corner gate, her face darkened.

Just like in the previous life, he and his mother had to give a show of force as soon as they returned.

Aunt Liu in the carriage had just relaxed her expression a little. She didn't know how much suffering she had endured along the way. She wanted to use this opportunity to dampen their spirits. After all, the Prime Minister was a grown man and didn't care about these details at all.

I never thought that this damn girl would act up again.

Butler Su saw that the Second Miss had an indifferent expression, exactly the same as that night, and glanced at the carriage behind Su Yue with sympathy.

"Father, I remember that our front door was not so short. Or is it that Yue'er has grown taller since she last came back for five years, so the front door has become shorter?"

With these words, several servants present laughed secretly. This second young lady had been in the countryside for five years and had become so stupid that she couldn't even tell the difference between the main gate and the corner gate.

"Yuer, what happened?" Su Yan came out following the voice, leaning gently against Gu. Seeing this scene, Su Yue knew that her parents' relationship had eased a lot during the journey.

After all, one is doing it for his daughter and the other is doing it for his own career. A stalemate will not benefit anyone.

When Aunt Liu heard that the Prime Minister had also come out, she quickly got up, walked out of the carriage, and saw a perfect couple cuddling in front of her, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and she felt redundant.

"Master~" Aunt Liu called out in a tortuous way, and the grievance in her words made people's hearts ache.

"Mei'er, what's wrong?" When Su Yan saw Aunt Liu, he unconsciously kept a distance from Gu, but Gu pretended not to feel anything.

"Maybe Aunt Liu dislikes me and feels it's unfair to ride in the same carriage with me." Aunt Liu was about to say something when Su Yue interrupted her.

Su Yan frowned when he heard this. This second girl was going to marry the third prince. If word got out that a concubine disliked the future third princess, the emperor would be in big trouble.

"Is what Yue'er said true?" Su Yan stared at Aunt Liu with a gloomy face.

How could Aunt Liu dare to pretend to be aggrieved? She quickly said, "No, no, that's not true. Yue'er and I are very happy together." After saying that, she wanted to pull Su Yue's arm to show affection.

Su Yue dodged without leaving a trace, which made Aunt Liu somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing that Aunt Liu was actually humiliated, the servants beside her lowered their heads, fearing that others would see them gloating over her misfortune.

You have to know that for the past five years, Aunt Liu has been acting like she is the mistress. He was extremely harsh to his servants and would deduct their wages at any time, under the pretext that everyone who came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion must be honest and incorruptible.

Bah, look at what she is wearing on her head and on her body, each one of them is priceless, they can’t even afford it with all their lifetime wages.

"Father, you haven't answered Yue'er's question yet. When did the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion become so short?" Su Yue's tone was flat, without a trace of extra emotion, as if she really believed that this corner gate was the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Miss Second, you haven't been back for a long time. This is the corner gate, have you forgotten?" Miss Second wanted to perform a double act, so Butler Su cooperated with her in this play. Besides, he also wanted to see how Miss Second would break this obviously humiliating situation.

"Housekeeper Su, since it's the Corner Gate, how can I, a legitimate daughter, forget it?" The implication was that as a legitimate daughter, she had never walked through the Corner Gate before and had never seen it, so how could she forget it.

"Father, I remember that the corner gate was for servants and concubines. Why did you let someone bring us into the mansion from here?" She deliberately emphasized the word "concubine" very heavily, and Aunt Liu behind her almost gnashed her teeth when she heard it.

Su Yan couldn't save face when he heard his daughter's question, so he looked fierce and said in a dignified voice: "Who led the way?"

The scene was silent, no one dared to speak, not even to breathe loudly.

"I won't ask again!" The Prime Minister was obviously angry.

The servant who had taken the lead in knocking on the door then knelt down tremblingly: "My Lord, it is you, my humble servant."

On this cold winter night, the servant was sweating profusely.

Butler Su saw that the Prime Minister had a strange expression on his face. He had followed the Prime Minister for so many years, and whenever the Prime Minister raised his butt, he knew what kind of shit he was going to do.

So he kicked him and said, "Where do you get the courage to do that..."

"How could a servant have such courage? Maybe someone in the Prime Minister's Mansion couldn't bear to see my mother and I go back, so he lent him the courage?" She obviously didn't want to let the person behind the scene go.

"You dog slave, who ordered you to do that?" Butler Su followed Su Yue's words and kicked the boy again, making him sit on the ground.

"Yes... yes..." The servant was so scared that he was sweating all over. He even felt beads of sweat sliding down his back. His eyes kept glancing behind Su Yue.

A few days ago, Aunt Liu asked someone to tell him to just knock on the corner gate when he passed by, and also gave him some silver.

Aunt Liu felt something was wrong. "Master, it was me. I thought I was going to the main gate to enter the mansion and I would just pass by this corner gate. I thought it would be convenient and I could just go in through this corner gate."

It is much better to admit it yourself than to be exposed by others, and you have already thought of a reason.

"Mei'er means well, it's okay..." When the prime minister saw Aunt Liu crying, his anger subsided and he was about to continue speaking.

"Father, since my aunt thinks this corner gate is closer, then let her go. It happens that her status is worthy of this corner gate.

Yue'er and mother will go through the main gate. Mother loves you and will not let you put things in a difficult position, but Yue'er must make things clear with father.

Today, a concubine can decide to let the main wife and legitimate daughter return home through the corner gate, and my father is reluctant to punish them. If this matter gets out, my father may be labeled as a man who favors his concubine and neglects his wife in the court. ”

Su Yue's few words were very convincing, and the prime minister's face darkened, and a chill came from his feet.

The current emperor had an extremely unfortunate childhood because of the previous emperor's behavior. When the emperor came to power, what he hated most was that the court officials favored concubines and neglected wives.

If the emperor knew about this, it would be disastrous.

Su Yue seized on this and made a big fuss about it.

"Mrs. Liu has committed a crime against her superiors. She will be put in solitary confinement for ten days and asked to reflect on her actions."

"The corner gate is open. Let Madam Liu go in, and everyone else can go through the main gate." Prime Minister Su flicked his long sleeves, turned around and got on the carriage.

From beginning to end, Gu didn't say a word and didn't show any impatience or grievance.

This made Prime Minister Su feel a little guilty, so he patted Gu's hand and said, "Madam, I'm sorry for putting you through this."

Aunt Liu looked at the carriage going away with a face full of resentment. Seeing the servant still standing at the door, she slapped him directly. Her long nails immediately scratched the servant's right cheek.

"What a waste!"
