Chapter 2288: Today is Different from the Past
Concubine Su was so furious...
When he was slapped in the face, he dared to yell and curse at first, but he became quiet after a few more hits.
When I was first locked up in the Buddhist temple, I threw my pens, ink, paper and inkstone all over the floor. After going hungry for two meals, I just copied what was said obediently.
Concubine Su Li was angry, sad, and hateful. She was angry at those lowly people who were so successful and bullied others too much. She was sad that the emperor was so heartless and forgot about her so quickly. She hated her father and brother for losing the battle. If they had won, she would be in a different position today. Who among those lowly people in the harem would dare to touch her?
When Su Huai and his men fled back to Jiangning in a panic, Concubine Su Lifei was still under house arrest.
Before this, the women of the Su family had a hard time. They had countless rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs thrown at the door, but as long as they closed the door, they could still live.
Madam Su was not worried to death about Concubine Su Lifei, but she didn't even dare to leave the house during that period, let alone enter the palace. She knew that even if she wanted to enter the palace, she couldn't.
As soon as Su Huai came back, Mrs. Su immediately brought her two daughters-in-law to the palace the next day and anxiously requested to pay their respects to Concubine Li.
The Third Prince was forced by Su Huai to issue an edict, and his attitude towards Su Huai was very reluctant. Naturally, it was impossible for him to protect Concubine Su Lifei anymore - now she is Concubine Su Lifei.
Su Huai and the others came back, but Su Lipin's house arrest was still not lifted.
Madam Su and her daughter-in-law waited for a full hour before the eunuch in charge of the palace finally arrived. He no longer had the flattering and respectful smile of the past. He glanced at them lazily and said, "Lady Li? There is no Lady Li in the palace, only Lady Su Lipin! You can't call her the wrong name, otherwise you will be punished!"
The Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were shocked.
"What!"
"Su, Lipin?"
"snort!"
Madam Su suppressed her anger and said, "Why did the emperor demote Concubine Li for no reason?"
The eunuch in charge smiled and said, "The masters have their own rules for doing things. Madam Su asked me, a servant, how would I know!"
Mrs. Su's face became even uglier, and she cursed in her heart that the man was looking down on others!
The eunuch in charge knew from her expression that she hadn't held her fart well, but so what?
"Concubine Su Li is disrespectful to the Queen, does not abide by the palace rules, is arrogant and has no manners. She is now confined to the Buddhist temple copying scriptures and worshipping Buddha. She cannot see anyone. Madam Su, please come back in a few days!"
"What!"
Madam Su screamed, "This is too much! Let me tell you, our master is back!"
The eunuch in charge burst out laughing.
The news spread in the palace that General Su had indeed returned, but he was in a miserable state and looked like a beggar.
Originally, this kind of thing would not spread so quickly in the palace, but who told Su Lipin to offend so many people in the past? Almost all the concubines wanted to see her and the Su family make fun of them, so any bad news about the Su family would of course spread extremely quickly.
The eunuch in charge said with a smile, "Really? I wonder how many cities General Su has conquered for the emperor this time and how much merit he has made before returning victoriously?"
"you--"
Madam Su was so angry that she fell backwards. Even though she was arrogant and domineering, her face turned red and white after hearing these words.
"Just wait for me, you bastard!"
Mrs. Su couldn't stand it any longer, so she cursed a few words and left in shame with her two daughters-in-law.
The eunuch in charge happily ran to the empress and concubines to learn how to speak.
