Chapter 147: Fu Qingyin helped her?
Yu Shengsheng found it ridiculous.
What she wanted in the past, the Su family treated as a treasure and were reluctant to give it to her, and even used a lot of reasons to suppress her.
She doesn't want it now, but the Su family still thinks she wants it.
Seeing her leave without looking back, the old lady's face darkened.
"You are such an ungrateful person. Without the Su family as her backer, who can she rely on in the future? Do you think it's great to have the title of a princess?"
The old lady's eyes flashed with coldness: "The fifteenth will go to the palace banquet, don't take her with you."
Madam Su sobbed, "Mother, my daughter-in-law didn't want to take her with her at first."
"I will personally take Zhiyi there when the time comes, and this incident can be covered up. The emperor gave our Su family the best seat."
The old lady was full of confidence. Madam Su pursed her lips and said, "With mother here, there will be no mistakes."
She looked at Su Dingqin and Su Yanshu: "There are five seats in total, so there is only one left..."
She didn't take the old lady's advice into account at the beginning. The old lady seldom goes out now, and all social engagements are pushed to her. She thought it would be the same when she entered the palace this time.
Who would have thought...
What should I do now?
Of course, she hopes that all her children can go together. It would be great if the five of them could be together in harmony.
Su Yanshu said, "I'm fine. I'll go with the prince."
Madam Su felt relieved: "That's good."
Su Huaishan said from the side: "Why is there no place for me?"
Madam Su lowered her eyes and said nothing.
This is what she meant. The military merit was earned by her husband, and naturally, their family should go to the palace banquet, which is a place where they can show off their status. Although Su Huaishan is a brother, he is not a member of their small family after all.
The old lady was a little embarrassed: "Huaishan, this time..."
Su Huaishan stared, "I also came back from the border for my elder brother. If I hadn't arrived in time, would Ding Qin have been able to get out of Zhenqiao Tower? Would Kong Dezhao have been able to enter Beijing smoothly?"
He patted Su Dingqin on the shoulder and said, "Don't go. It's been a long time since you went to the battlefield. When the emperor sees you and asks you about it, how will you answer?"
Su Dingqin was naturally unwilling: "Second Uncle, I..."
"It's settled." Su Huaishan didn't allow for discussion. "I brought you back from Zhenqiao Tower, and you haven't thanked me yet."
After he said that, he turned and left.
Su Dingqin looked displeased and asked Su Yanshu, "Can you talk to the prince and take me with you?"
Su Yanshu was in an irritable mood: "Let's wait until father and Zhiyi come back."
"I'll ask my father what he thinks, and we'll also see how the emperor will deal with it."
He couldn't help but ask back: "Aren't you worried?"
Su Dingqin was even more annoyed than him: "What are you talking about? Who wouldn't worry? What are you doing here if you're not worried? But what's the point of worrying about this?"
What's the use, what's the use! Su Yanshu suppressed his anger, you, my big brother, are still useless!
Yu Shengsheng returned to the yard, sat down and drank half a cup of herbal tea before she calmed herself down.
The autopsy just now by the coroner really made her nervous.
Especially when testing the back and shoulders.
Is there really no trace, or...
She shook her head, but felt that it was unlikely. Fu Qingyin had said that he had already repaid her three favors, so why would he help her again?
At this time, Fu Qingyin, who was in Zhenqiao Tower, sneezed.
Shopkeeper Song was about to enter the house but stopped.
Fu Qingyin turned his head and saw him: "What's the matter?"
"Commander-in-chief, I have brought the painting."
Fu Qingyin was surprised: "So fast?"
He was in Yu Shengsheng's room yesterday and didn't see the painting. He thought Yu Shengsheng had put it away.
"Yes, Miss Yu has good skills and repaired it quickly. I asked Jin Baobao to deliver it to the store the day before yesterday. I carefully inspected it before I dared to give it to the commander."
Fu Qingyin took the painting and spread it out on the table.
Shopkeeper Song waited quietly on the side, not daring to make a sound to disturb them.
After looking at them for a long time, Fu Qingyin said slowly, "Give her the remaining two paintings as well."
"yes."
Fu Qingyin looked at the restored part of the painting and said, "He really has some skills."
"In that case," he chuckled and murmured, "I'll give you a return gift."
…
There was silence in the study room; even the sound of the wind outside the window seemed to have stopped.
Su Huaiyuan was sweating through his inner clothes and kneeling on the ground, not daring to move.
Su Zhiyi knelt behind him, and Wang Fuyin, who had been standing beside him and answered the question, handed the record in his hand to Eunuch Wei. Eunuch Wei took it and placed it in front of the emperor.
The emperor looked at the records above, one was the confession, and the other was the autopsy results.
In fact, this matter is not that important. As Wang Fuyin said, she was just a government prostitute and she deserved to die.
Just die.
However, the Su family is in a special situation now. Su Huaiyuan has military merits, and he wants to use him. Nan Shun almost arranged a marriage with the Su family. He must have valued Su Huaiyuan when he agreed to it.
The emperor's imperial skills required him to find a balance. He had to use the Su family, but at the same time, he couldn't let the Su family become too arrogant and become the second Nan Shun.
Now that this title has been delivered to my doorstep, it is a good handle and a good opportunity.
"Su Huaiyuan," the emperor said in a deep voice, "do you have anything to say about this matter?"
"Your Majesty," Su Huaiyuan kowtowed, "I am guilty. I did not teach my daughter well enough and did not investigate the matter clearly, allowing her to make such a serious mistake. I am willing to be punished for her."
"Father, this is my daughter's business. I feel guilty about your teachings. If I let you bear the punishment for me, it would be unfilial."
Su Zhiyi figured it out on the way here. Since he was going to be brought out to confess his guilt, he might as well confess it well, confess it with a sense of righteousness, and confess it with grief and indignation and without regrets.
Perhaps, it is also a new turning point.
She kowtowed again, then looked up at the emperor. Her red eyes were adorable, her look was stubborn and fearless, and tears were about to fall.
He took a glance and then lowered his head again.
"Your Majesty, I plead guilty. I will accept your punishment, whether it's death or torture. I will not refuse a single word."
"But I have no regrets."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: "Oh?"
"Ru Jian followed me for many years, but I was always soft-hearted and indulged her again and again, which led to her committing adultery with Shen Zhiyuan and becoming a concubine of the Shen family, which led to the subsequent disaster."
"She became an official prostitute, but she still did not do her duty. She sent letters to me several times in an attempt to escape punishment. I was worried that she would disregard the emperor's order and escape. I was also afraid that if I didn't restrain her, it would bring disaster to the Su family."
"I had no choice but to take her life."
"I am guilty... Your Majesty, please punish me alone, and don't punish my parents and family members."
The emperor looked at her with a calm and deep gaze, like an endless abyss, sucking away souls and lives.
Eunuch Wei took a shallow breath and marveled in his heart - no wonder Commander Fu could make the emperor smile and was highly respected, he really had an eye for the future.
Aren’t what Su Zhiyi said exactly what Commander Fu said to the Emperor?
Some of the words are exactly the same.
Su Zhiyi thought that what she said was very beautiful. It not only explained her difficulties and why she killed Ru Jian, but also allowed the emperor to see her bravery, fearlessness, filial piety and determination to protect her family.
The emperor will surely praise her, worthy of being the daughter of a general.
As for the death of a mere Confucian sword, what's the big deal?
Thinking of this, the emperor finally spoke.
"deliver an imperial order."
