Su Yuan stopped in his tracks, his anger barely contained, and asked, "Didn't you hate her? Why did you spare her life?"

Su Wenyuan had all the evidence, and he gave up. Even the Emperor was willing to listen to Su Wenyuan, so why didn't she kill Wang Shi?

If Su Wenyuan wants Wang Shi to die, Wang Shi will definitely die today.

Su Yuan was filled with hatred. Given the current outcome, he would rather Wang Shi die and be done with it.

Su Wenyuan replied in a serious tone, "Because I'm afraid you'll be happy. If she really died, wouldn't you be celebrating with gongs and drums?"

"Besides, you two are such a perfect match, it's such a pity that you're separated by death. Think about how much you liked her before, how you were willing to bear the infamy to make her your legal wife. Now it's all good, she can stay with you forever."

vicious!

These two words are now all that's on Su Yuan's mind.

How could someone as gentle as Yu Qingzhu have given birth to such a vicious daughter?

Su Wenyuan suddenly remembered something and laughed, "Oh right, I haven't broken her legs yet. I remember she tried to break my legs on my wedding day. Now this is karma."

In the original storyline, Su Wenyuan's leg was broken, leaving her a cripple.

It's good that the retribution can now fall on the Wang family.

Su Yuan didn't want to listen to her, and his steps quickened.

Su Wenyuan stopped following and instead shouted, "I'll come back to see you in a couple of days."

After saying that, Su Yuan walked even faster, as if he were about to run.

Su Wenyuan sighed, "Your legs are so strong. When will they ever be able to be broken?"

Su Yuan suddenly felt a chill in his legs, and they felt a little unresponsive.

Su Wenyuan turned back to Chengming Palace; there was another important matter.

The Emperor smiled when he saw her. Princess Heyi would have to stay in the capital for a while, and there would inevitably be conflicts in the future.

The ministers, hesitant and indecisive, could not control the envoy.

Princess Heyi not only sided with outsiders, but also caused trouble.

But with Su Wenyuan's help, things will become very simple.

Upon seeing the Emperor's smile, Su Wenyuan knew that he needed her help.

Otherwise, why would the emperor bother with her?

"Does the reward that Father Emperor promised still stand?" Su Wenyuan asked directly.

"Of course it counts!" the Emperor replied without hesitation.

As soon as she said it, she regretted it. Was Su Wenyuan going to ask for an exorbitant price by suddenly saying this?

Sheng Jingyu was startled, but immediately guessed what she was going to say.

Su Wenyuan said seriously, "Then please ask Father to reinvestigate the treason case from back then. Present all the evidence, and bring over the witnesses and the people who investigated the mansion so that I can question them in person."

The emperor instantly wiped the smile off his face, his gaze sharpened, and his murderous intent rekindled. He quickly closed his eyes again, trying his best to suppress his anger.

Su Wenyuan was much more difficult to deal with than that envoy; she insisted on bringing up the matter from back then.

"There's nothing to investigate. I've said this more than once," the Emperor said coldly.

Even though it was an answer she had already guessed, Su Wenyuan still felt wronged.

Su Wenyuan asked excitedly, "Why? Do you know that Marquis Anle is innocent? So many lives, from top to bottom, have been lost because of this! I didn't ask you to investigate, but I'll investigate it myself."

She remained calm and composed when facing envoys, and even when facing Su Yuan, she was able to calculate and strategize with the same composure.

This was the only thing Su Wenyuan didn't understand, and she couldn't stay calm about.

"He is not wronged at all!" The Emperor stood up angrily.

The empress was terrified. There was a reason why no one had dared to mention this matter all these years.

Every time the emperor heard the name Marquis Anle, his face would turn angry.

Few dared to go against the tide; everyone lived by the emperor's wishes and had to be good at reading between the lines.

Seeing the Emperor's resolute and decisive attitude, Su Wenyuan was taken aback for a moment.

But she persisted in her opinion, asking, "What is your basis for this?"

They tried to make Su Wenyuan give up with just empty words, but they didn't even give Marquis Anle a chance to explain back then.

Since the late emperor's death, the emperor has never been interrogated like this again.

At this moment, the emperor's eyes widened in anger, his breathing became rapid and heavy, and his entire body exuded murderous intent.

"I understand that you are seeking justice for Yu Qingzhu. She is your mother, and being a concubine is an insult to her. But your request to reopen the case is to question me!"

"I don't want to bring this up again. If you don't want to be the Princess Consort of Chen, I can grant your wish. There's no need for you to provoke me repeatedly!"

The emperor's tone was full of threat; he had never seen such an ignorant person.

Su Wenyuan wanted to argue, but Sheng Jingyu stopped her.

The Emperor's meaning was clear: no matter what she said, it was useless; it was better to rely on oneself than on others.

But Su Wenyuan felt that all she could do was to get the Emperor to reinvestigate.

This was already the result of her best efforts. The Emperor held onto the clues from back then and didn't want anyone else to know. Su Wenyuan didn't know what else she could do besides beg the Emperor.

The Empress quickly said, "Jingyu, you should take the Princess back to the residence first. There have been many things to do today, and the Emperor is also tired."

She did hope that the Emperor would replace Sheng Jingyu with another princess, but judging from the current situation, the Emperor's attitude was not firm enough.

If he really wanted to change, he wouldn't need to say these things.

The Empress could only step in to smooth things over and give both sides a way out.

Sheng Jingyu whispered, "Shall we go back first?"

He understood the Emperor better than Su Wenyuan, and had long known that the Emperor was unwilling to re-investigate.

At first, I didn't stop Su Wenyuan because I knew I couldn't stop her; the only way was to let Su Wenyuan try.

Su Wenyuan didn't even bow, turned around and left, ignoring Sheng Jingyu.

After returning to the mansion, they went straight to the ancestral hall. Sheng Jingyu quickly instructed Ye Shan to clear out everyone around the ancestral hall, keeping them as far away as possible.

He feared that Su Wenyuan might insult the emperor in the ancestral hall, which could cause trouble if overheard.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, no sound came from the ancestral hall.

The unexpected calm made Sheng Jingyu panic, fearing she might try to kill herself, so he quickly went inside to check on her.

Su Wenyuan sat on the prayer mat without saying a word, simply staring blankly at the memorial tablet, with a sorrow that bordered on despair.

Even though we've made the Emperor so happy today, we still can't get him to change his mind.

"Does His Majesty dislike Marquis Anle?" Su Wenyuan asked softly.

Sheng Jingyu thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be that bad. In any case, his merits outweigh his demerits. After the death of Marquis Anle, some chaos broke out in various places, and Father Emperor made a few wrong decisions."

The ministers were afraid and did not speak their minds as frankly as before. They were more concerned with self-preservation and did not offer enough suggestions. The emperor did not have an easy time during those years.

Su Wenyuan remained silent for a long time, in a bad mood.

Sheng Jingyu wanted to make her happy, so his mind raced, and he finally thought of Wang Shi.

"I've had someone send Wang Shi to the Prime Minister's residence. Would you like to go and see her?" Sheng Jingyu asked.

Su Wenyuan said coldly, "Go, find two ruthless men and have them do it right at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence. Spread the word that as many people as possible will come, so they can hear how miserable Wang Shi is."

There was no need to deliberately release any information; a large crowd had already gathered outside the Prime Minister's residence.

The news of Su Wenyuan beating her own father had already spread outside the palace, and everyone who heard about it was astonished.
