Chapter 364: Breaking the Dividing Line
Madam Su prepared a lot of things and asked someone to invite Yu Shengsheng to meet in front of the mansion.
Unexpectedly, the old woman came hurriedly to report.
"Madam, there is no one in Miss Sheng's yard."
Madam Su was startled: "What?"
"No one is there anymore. I asked the stable and the groom said that Mr. Xu, who was following the young lady, brought a carriage more than half an hour ago."
Madam Su closed her eyes slightly, her heart aching.
"Alas, she is still..."
I still haven't forgiven her.
The old woman hurriedly comforted her, "Madam, don't be too sad. Maybe Miss Sheng doesn't want to embarrass you. If I ride in the same carriage with you and people see that the princess is not there when we arrive at the temple, I'm afraid people will talk about it."
Upon hearing this, Madam Su felt even more upset.
At this moment, Su Zhiyi also came. She was wearing the clothes given by the queen, which were luxurious and noble, and the ruby headpiece on her head was shining.
Su Zhiyi smiled and said, "Mother, why are you standing here? Are you waiting for me?"
Madam Su did not answer, but looked at it and said, "Your clothes are indeed nice, worthy of being given by the Queen."
Su Zhiyi stroked her sleeves gently: "I think so too. After all, I have to burn incense on behalf of the Queen today, so I can't lose face for her."
Madam Su felt increasingly unhappy, but every word she said mentioned the Queen, and she could not refute it.
Mrs. Su thought of her eldest son's words and asked, "I went to see your two brothers yesterday afternoon, but you didn't even ask how they were doing."
Su Zhiyi sighed when she heard this: "My daughter has always been concerned about my two brothers, but... the more I worry about them, the less I dare to ask them, for fear that they are not living well, and my daughter can't bear it."
Madam Su sneered, "They are imprisoned in the Zhenqiao Building and are being questioned, not traveling around. How can they live well?"
"If you really care about them, you should go and see them, or even ask me a question."
Su Zhiyi looked up at her in surprise, eyes full of anxiety: "Mother, are you blaming me? I... I also returned home from Jingzhao Prefecture and was ordered not to go out. Have you forgotten? Since returning from Jingzhao Prefecture, I have trouble sleeping every night, always thinking of the horror of being imprisoned..."
"I didn't want you to worry, so I never mentioned it. Do you blame me for this?"
"It's my daughter who is unfilial."
Madam Su choked in her throat. “You have not been imprisoned for two days, nor have you received any punishment, while your two brothers are covered in bruises… and these are what Shengsheng suffered in the past.”
"She suffered all this because of you."
Su Zhiyi closed her eyes slightly: "Mother really blames me. If I had known this, I should have asked to leave when she returned home. Anyway, I have no relatives and no one loves me. It doesn't matter where I go. I shouldn't stay here and make mother angry and annoying."
Mrs. Su was so angry that she almost fainted.
The old woman quickly supported her and comforted her: "Madam, be careful not to get angry and get yourself hurt. Princess, please say less."
Su Zhiyi raised his eyelids and glanced at her, his eyes were so cold that the old woman was shocked.
"Well, a slave dares to scold me."
Mother-in-law: “…”
Madam Su recovered and was about to say something when a carriage drove up, followed by a dozen guards, looking very majestic.
When the carriage approached, the leading guard said, "We are escorting the princess to Hongyuan Temple by the order of the Queen. Princess, please."
Su Zhiyi raised her head and said, "Mother, the Queen has sent someone to pick me up. Time is tight, so I won't listen to your lecture. I'll talk to you when I get back."
When she comes back, her identity will be different. Do you still want to scold her?
dream!
By then, the entire Su family will have to rely on her and kneel at her feet. She will have complete control over the honor and disgrace of the Su family!
Watching Su Zhiyi's carriage leave, Mrs. Su covered her chest with her hands, her face pale.
"Look at her, she's like this..."
Su Huaiyuan came out of the house and said in a deep voice: "Okay, now that things have come to this, what else is there to say? Let's go quickly."
Su Huaiyuan also changed into official uniform, followed by Ruan Jing.
Mrs. Su glanced at Ruan Jing, and Ruan Jing bowed.
"Brother Su, Madam, have a safe journey."
Su Huaiyuan nodded: "Just stay in the mansion and tell the steward if you need anything. Don't put yourself in a difficult position."
Ruan Jing smiled and nodded.
Su Huaiyuan glanced at Madam Su and said, "Okay, let's go. Jing'er won't go, so don't be petty and think too much. Today is an important day, don't make trouble for no reason."
Mrs. Su took a deep breath and got on the carriage.
Su Huaiyuan rode his horse in front of the carriage and left the city together.
Ruan Jing watched them walk away, the gentle smile on her face instantly faded, and she turned back home to change clothes.
Not going? Just not going with them.
…
Yu Shengsheng lifted the curtain and looked outside. The last time she went there with Fu Qingyin, they took a different road and looked down from a high place. This time was different.
Suddenly I remembered that the first time I went to Hongyuan Temple was to see Qi Mubai. I was full of expectations, and my heart and lungs were full of hope.
It wasn't a very long time, but her life changed again and again.
Qi Mubai had also long become a stranger.
That meeting seemed like a lifetime ago.
Yu Shengsheng was a little dazed. Fu Qingyin tilted his head to look at her. She was leaning against the window, her eyes were deep and her expression was a little... complicated, as if she was sad, and as if she was reminiscing.
Fu Qingyin felt that at this moment, she seemed to have an invisible boundary that isolated everyone from her.
Including him.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Fu Qingyin decided to break this boundary.
He picked up an orange and threw it over: "What are you thinking about?"
Yu Shengsheng came back to her senses and hurriedly grabbed the orange, trying hard not to let it fall to the ground.
Fu Qingyin's lips curled slightly at the stupid look.
This look can also be drawn.
Yu Shengsheng grabbed the orange and said, "No, I just thought about the first time I went back."
Fu Qingyin had heard Hao Mengye mention this matter.
That time, she was meeting someone named Qi and was bullied. Kong Dezhao stood up for her and beat the person up.
It was also here that Hao Mengye asked the people from the Imperial Observatory to advise the emperor, suggesting that the marriage between the Kong and Su families was inappropriate.
Fu Qingyin felt that this was the best thing Hao Mengye had done in the past year.
"you……"
Before he could finish his words, there was the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
Judging from the noise, there are quite a few horses.
A cloud of dust rose quietly, and the knight on horseback rode with superb skills, and his men behind him followed in unison.
The leader slowed down when he got close to the carriage, and the Red Dragon Guards who followed him were all on high alert.
Kong Dezhao gripped the reins tightly and laughed out loud.
"Commander, why are you still riding in a carriage? I heard that you are quite good at riding. Why don't you get off and compete with me?"
Fu Qingyin said coldly: "Your Highness is in a good mood, I don't want to win unfairly."
He paused, and raised his voice: "Is the wound on the prince's arm healed?"
Kong Dezhao: “…” This person is so hateful, his words hurt my heart.
"It's just a minor injury. This prince never took it to heart. Injuries are common in battlefield fighting. The commander is often in Zhenqiao Tower, so he naturally doesn't understand."
Fu Qingyin said: "Well, so I won't get hurt. Is your arm injury healed?"
Kong Dezhao: “…”
