The Emperor knows she wants to enter the Prince Chen's residence, but what does it mean to say these things now?

"Princess Consort Chen is a married daughter. Isn't it inappropriate for her to meddle in your household affairs?" the Emperor hesitated.

Su Lin'er said anxiously, "But there's really no other way right now. Sister can manage such a large Prince Chen's mansion, let alone a small Su mansion. It's winter now, and the concubines in the mansion are still arguing over charcoal and cotton quilts."

“I don’t know how to manage chores or how to manage servants. If this continues, the mansion will be in chaos and may even cause big trouble.”

The emperor frowned, seeing his inner courtyard in such a mess for the first time.

Su Yuan is quite the actor; despite the chaotic state of the mansion, he doesn't seem worried at all.

Su Lin'er really doesn't want to pretend at all. There's no need to let him know about such a troubling thing, is there?

Su Lin'er continued, "If you are willing to help manage it, everything in the Su family mansion can be yours, and I am willing to serve you."

Instead of saying she would marry Sheng Jingyu, she said she would serve Su Wenyuan...

Without hesitation, the Emperor asked, "What else does the Su family have?"

Could it be that the so-called "everything" refers to the paralyzed Su Yuan, the useless Su Xian, the troublesome aunt, and the ill-intentioned Su Lin'er in front of you?

Su Lin'er was stumped by the question and answered somewhat guiltily, "The family property in the manor..."

The family fortune that wasn't even enough to fill Su Wenyuan's teeth made Grandpa Hu laugh when he heard it.

If you pack up and sell all the things in the Su family mansion, would they be worth as much as the silver notes Su Wenyuan gave him?

The Emperor then asked, "You can't do anything, you're not even as good as a maid in serving tea and water, what can you do to serve her?"

Su Lin'er was stumped again, racking her brains but unable to think of any benefit she could bring to Su Wenyuan by going to her side.

The Emperor could tell from her reaction that she knew what was going on.

She seems to have gotten all the good things; she got rid of trouble and climbed the social ladder at the same time.

The emperor couldn't help but want to mock her, but then thought better of it and shook his head helplessly.

A person should know their own limitations, but Su Lin'er only has a thick skin.

At this time, Su Yuan was also cleaned up, and his whole body was replaced.

Su Lin'er rushed over as if she had seen a savior, but before she could even say a word, she started crying.

"Even if you don't know how to manage the servants in your household, you should at least make them do their jobs properly. The patient needs to be taken good care of," the Emperor reminded him.

Su Lin'er smiled bitterly, "The servants in the manor are unwilling to listen to me."

Useless! Useless!

Only those two words remained in the Emperor's mind.

What else can she do?

If you can't do anything right, then please don't show up in front of me!

The Emperor is starting to miss Su Wenyuan again. It would be good if Su Wenyuan were here so he could give her a good scolding.

Just as he was thinking this, the Emperor realized something was wrong. If he wanted Su Wenyuan to come, why not just send someone to invite her again?

Originally, the Emperor was afraid of putting Su Yuan in a difficult position, so he thought of separating them.

Listen to Su Yuan's request first, then discuss it with Su Wenyuan.

The Emperor is so angry with Su Lin'er that he can't wait until then. He should let Su Wenyuan teach this woman a lesson first.

"Someone, go to Prince Chen's residence and invite the Princess Consort over. Tell her I have something to discuss with her," the Emperor ordered.

Su Lin'er and Su Yuan were both taken aback; they didn't want to communicate with Su Wenyuan face to face.

Su Lin'er had already spoken with Su Wenyuan once at the Empress's place, and suffered a crushing defeat!

Su Wenyuan refused decisively, not giving her a chance to plead again, and the Empress couldn't get a word in edgewise.

The Emperor wants to summon Su Wenyuan again, but that won't do. If she comes, even the Emperor will have to back down.

Su Lin'er wanted to force the Emperor to issue an edict under pressure, so that Su Wenyuan would have no choice but to accept it.

Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't take the bait, which led to a confrontation between them.

Su Lin'er pushed Su Yuan forcefully, signaling him to speak quickly.

Su Yuan spoke haltingly, uttering indistinct syllables, but the gist of it was that Su Lin'er was not yet married, and he wanted to ask the Emperor for help in finding her a husband.

This wasn't the story they had initially agreed on; Su Lin'er had him say it in a straightforward and precise way.

Su Yuan's improvisation was vague and did not convey any sense of coercion towards the emperor.

Su Lin'er was getting anxious and could only add her own comments from the side.

The Emperor then said, "I will take good care of this matter, but fate cannot be forced. Lord Su, you should rest well. If you need any medicinal herbs, just tell me and I will definitely send someone to find them for you."

Su Lin'er quickly said frankly, "Your Majesty, I do not seek any destiny, I only wish for the manor to return to its former tranquility. Only you, sister, can help me. I am willing to enter the manor as a concubine to serve you."

The way she said that made it sound like she had suffered a huge loss.

In reality, she just wants to have all the good things!

The Emperor gave a perfunctory reply: "This matter cannot be handled impulsively. Let Princess Consort Chen manage the Su residence, but we must also ask her opinion. It just so happens that she is about to arrive."

As the Emperor said this, he was still reassuring himself that everything was alright, Su Wenyuan would be arriving soon.

After Su Wenyuan arrived, someone was able to control her! She was allowed to have all sorts of wonderful dreams.

I don't want any trouble, but I get all the benefits.

Su Lin'er calculated the time and realized that Su Wenyuan was about to arrive, which made her even more anxious.

But the Emperor couldn't possibly agree to her request at this time, and kept telling her to wait for Su Wenyuan to arrive.

Su Lin'er didn't wait, and made an excuse that Su Yuan needed to take medicine, and hurriedly left the palace.

The emperor didn't keep her either; he had long since stopped wanting to see her.

When Su Yuan left the Imperial Study, he was still in a sedan chair. When he arrived at the palace gate, he should have switched to his own carriage, but Su Lin'er wouldn't allow it.

"Father, why didn't you say what I told you to the Emperor?" Su Lin'er asked with a smile that sent chills down one's spine.

When entering the palace, Su Yuan could occasionally be put into a carriage to hide.

After leaving the palace, Su Lin'er was unhappy, so she had him carried back home.

The clothes that had just been tidied up in the palace were messed up again.

The once clean collar was now soaked with saliva, and tears streamed down her cheeks and temples...

When Su Wenyuan received the news, she deliberately delayed for a while. She thought to herself that since she wasn't going to collect the reward anyway, why was she in such a hurry?

And so, the carriages of Prince Chen's residence and the carriages of the Su residence met on the street.

There were already many people gathered around to see Su Yuan, but when the carriage from Prince Chen's residence appeared, even more people came to watch.

Meng Qi said gloatingly, "Su Yuan is being paraded through the streets right now, there are so many people, why doesn't Su Lin'er have someone send him back to the carriage?"

Su Wenyuan sighed, "Su Lin'er is really ruthless."

"Does the princess think she went too far?" Meng Qi asked, puzzled.

Su Wenyuan doesn't seem like a good person either, so why is she starting to think others are vicious?

Su Wenyuan said, "If I were to do this, it wouldn't be excessive, and Su Yuan deserves it. But Su Yuan is very good to Su Lin'er, yet Su Lin'er still has the heart to do this."
