With a thump, Aunt Liu fell to her knees out of fear, and lay on the ground trembling.

From an angle that no one else could see, a hint of resentment flashed in the pair of almond-shaped eyes. She originally thought that the Prime Minister was just talking casually last night, and there were not many people present at that time, and they were all servants. Who doesn't want to live anymore and dares to cause trouble for her in front of the old man?

The Prime Minister has always doted on her, so even if she came out, he would just pretend not to see it. He had planned everything, but he had overlooked this cheap girl in front of him.

"Grandfather, mother didn't mean it. She just..." Seeing Aunt Liu kneeling down, Su Xin didn't dare to stand and knelt down as well, anxious to plead for Aunt Liu.

But before she could finish her words, she said, "Sister, isn't your mother sitting next to your father?

Or did my father appoint Aunt Liu as his principal wife when my mother and I were away? Since you have promoted your legal wife, why did you bring us back?

Or did Aunt Liu privately teach her sister to call her mother? ”

Su Yue didn't want to let these two people go at all. She asked a series of questions, each as sharp as a knife, especially the last one, which clearly told others whether Aunt Liu wanted to replace Gu. If not, how could an concubine let the child call her mother every day?

Su Xin never thought that just calling her mother "mother" would push her biological mother into such a situation. The key point was that they couldn't refute it.

"Grandfather, it was Xin'er who was disobedient and called my aunt "mother" without my permission." Su Xin's mind raced, and she finally decided to take it on herself. After all, her grandmother loved her so much that she would definitely not want her to be punished too severely.

"Xin girl, I never thought you and Aunt Liu were so unruly before. It's because you dote on Yan'er too much!" After hearing what Su Yue said, the old man became furious. There were really no rules at all!

"Father, it's my fault. I will change my ways and set good rules." Su Yan immediately knelt down and made a promise.

Seeing Su Yan kneeling down, Gu and Su Yue also knelt down.

When Zhang saw the second wife kneeling on the ground, she felt relieved.

You know, the old man of the Su family started his fortune by doing business. He opened many pharmacies in the imperial city. The old man had two sons and one daughter.

The second wife is Prime Minister Su Yan, who performed well in the imperial examinations, won the top spot, and became an official in the court. Later, he married Gu, and with the support of Gu's family and his own hard work, he climbed to the position of prime minister in a short time.

The eldest wife, Su Mo, was not good at studying, so she had to take over the old man's shop. Unfortunately, Su Mo was not very proficient in business, and her business could only support the family, and she relied entirely on subsidies from her parents.

The third child is Su Xiaoxiao. Her husband is in the porcelain business and has close ties with the imperial palace. However, due to her husband's illness in recent years, most of the family assets have been spent.

The old lady was extremely partial to the second wife. Seeing that she had a promising future, she always praised her for her good points but ignored the first wife.

Therefore, as the daughter-in-law of the eldest wife, Zhang had quite a bit of resentment towards the people of the second wife. Now seeing them kneeling on the ground, she was happier than picking up money.

"Alright, alright, just be careful. We in the Su family attach great importance to rules. You must not let anything get out because of your fault and bring shame to the Su family." The old lady saw that something was not right and hurried to smooth things over.

"Hmph." The old man snorted heavily, obviously waiting for Su Yan's opinion.

Su Yan made up his mind, "Madam Liu didn't follow the rules, so she is punished to copy the female rules 100 times. When you finish copying, you can come out only after you send it to me for review. Maid Su Xin will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for a day."

"Master, father..." Su Xin and Aunt Liu wanted to say something, but Su Yan gave them an ungrateful look and they both shut up.

"Okay, everyone get up. Miss Yue and Mrs. Gu just came back. There are many things missing in the room, and we don't have enough manpower. Xiaoxiao, you can help out." Seeing Su Yan speak, the old man's expression eased a lot.

That's right. The Su family attaches great importance to rules.

"By the way, Miss Yue, do you know why I brought you back this time?" The old man changed the subject and got back to the business.

"Yu'er has heard something about it, but I'm still not very clear about the details." Su Yue told the truth. After all, she really didn't understand why Su Xin and the third prince were engaged in the previous life.

"You don't need to know anything more. After a while, the Imperial Observatory will choose a good day and an imperial edict will come. You just need to receive it." After saying that, the old man waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Su Xin was originally very dissatisfied with the fact that she had to kneel in the ancestral hall, but when she heard that Su Yue was going to be married to a useless man, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

If Su Yue really got married, wouldn't her life be completely ruined? What was there to fight with her for?

Su Yue had a solemn expression on her face as she walked back. The emperor's granting of marriage was a great favor, but she did not want to accept it.

It’s not that I don’t like the Third Prince, but after living this life over again, I see many things much more clearly.

But she wanted to take revenge personally and make the Second Prince Shangguan Nanfeng and Su Xin live a life worse than death and never get what she wanted.

Using the engagement with the Third Prince to harm Shangguan Nanfeng would only implicate the Third Prince.

What's more, some people may even think that they did this because the Third Prince instructed them to fight for the throne. If this is the case and it gets to the emperor's ears, it will only be bad for the Third Prince, not to mention themselves.

We must find a suitable solution.

What no one knew was that a dark shadow quietly left the Prime Minister's Mansion and ran towards the Third Prince's residence.

The study room of the third prince's mansion

The huge room was kept very tidy. A young man in black was sitting at the desk, with a middle-aged man kneeling in front of him.

The young man had handsome eyebrows and bright eyes, and his long, bony fingers were scratching the edge of the desk again and again, as if the middle-aged man had said something that made him uncomfortable, and his brows were furrowed.

"I understand. Go down." The young man was the third prince Shangguan Nanxing. The words of that man were still echoing in his ears: Judging from the expression of the second Miss Su, it seems that she is unwilling to agree to the marriage!

It has been almost a month since he woke up. When he woke up, he was stunned. He clearly remembered that he was dead, so how could he be alive again?

Later, he found himself seemingly back to three years ago, when his illness was not serious.

After asking around, I found out that Su Yue and her mother were still in the countryside.

He was undoubtedly happy to know the news. Being still in the countryside meant that Yue'er had not fallen into Shangguan Nanfeng's gentle trap.

It means that God gave him a chance to strike first.

So he bribed the Imperial Observatory and pretended to be seriously ill, forcing his father to force the prime minister to bring the person back and issue an edict to grant the marriage.

In this life, he must act faster, faster than Shangguan Nanfeng.

However, what she never expected was that the person just now said that she was not very willing to marry him.

He gripped the pen in his hand tightly, with such force that it seemed as if he was going to break it.

Why? Is Yue'er like everyone else, disgusted with herself for being a seriously ill and useless person?

No, it wouldn't. He thought about his previous life, when he was still a child. Because of his weak constitution, he not only had no brothers and sisters to play with, but they even secretly bullied him.

That day, little Su Yue followed Prime Minister Su into the palace, and by chance, she met herself who was being bullied.

After two lifetimes, he still remembers the little girl waving her chubby pink fists and standing in front of him. Her eyes were as bright as stars. They are forever engraved in his heart, as if it were yesterday.
