Chapter 116: Allow You to Enter the Family Tree
The emperor thought back to Yu Shengsheng in the hall, a stunning face and a calm temperament.
He thought for a moment and said, "Pass on my oral order and ask Concubine Shu to prepare a few feet of fine white cloth and give it to Yu Shengsheng."
"yes."
"Remember, I don't know about this."
What he said was contradictory. He said it was an oral order, but he also said he didn't know about it. However, the eunuch chief understood it instantly.
"I understand. I will do it right away."
Concubine Shu was reading a storybook. When she heard that the emperor had an oral order, she quickly stood up to greet him.
"My queen, the emperor asked you to prepare a few meters of fine white cloth and give it to Yu Shengsheng. The emperor also said that he didn't know about this."
Imperial Concubine Shu was stunned at first, then burst into laughter: "Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty doesn't know, it was all my own idea, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely do it well."
After that, she ordered the head palace maid to prepare some fresh fruits and a bag of silver and send the eunuch chief out of the palace.
As the person left, the smile on Concubine Shu's face faded. She walked to the table and unfolded the painting that Yu Shengsheng had drawn.
Just outlined, no coloring.
She chuckled: "I didn't expect that this painting would be finished one day."
"Come here, prepare the white cloth and invite the Third Master here."
…
It was almost dusk, and the setting sun was as white as snow. Yu Shengsheng knelt in front of the coffin and put paper money into a copper basin. The mourning hall was filled with smoke, which made Su Yanshu and the other two cough.
Su Dingqin couldn't help but scold: "Don't burn it!"
The three siblings felt utterly ashamed, but there was nothing they could do. They could not resist Kong Dezhao, and Kong Tu force-fed them medicine. Their bodies were sore and weak that they could not walk at all.
Su Yanshu lowered his eyes and said nothing, remembering what the servant had said when he came back, that the prince had gone to the palace to beg for mercy, but had not seen the emperor. The prince said he would return to the East Palace to find a solution.
So far, there is no news.
Then he thought of what Kong Dezhao had said to him, what was the title of the second son of the Su family? He didn't hold any official position.
His dignity and face were trampled to the extreme.
He raised his eyelids and looked at Yu Shengsheng opposite him, his heart full of hatred - but if he wanted to turn things around and achieve his goal, he still had to rely on Yu Shengsheng.
He whispered to the servant, who nodded and went out.
Not long after, he came in with a food box and came to Yu Shengsheng.
"Shengsheng, you're still injured. Eat something and go back to rest. We're here."
Yu Shengsheng slowly put paper money into the copper basin, not looking at him or paying any attention to him.
Su Yanshu forced a smile and said, "I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite crab roe noodle soup for you. At least you can have a bite."
Yu Shengsheng still ignored her, and the servant whispered, "Miss Sheng, this is a gift from our master, and he specially asked someone to prepare it. Please use some of it."
Jin Baobao came forward and pushed the servant away with his shoulder: "Get away from me, don't get close to my young lady, and stay away from the copper basin, don't dirty Grandma Wu's money."
The servant was knocked down, the food box in his hand fell to the ground, and the soup and noodles spilled out.
Yu Shengsheng's face changed and he said angrily, "Clean it up!"
The servant swallowed his anger and quickly cleaned up the mess. Su Yanshu pursed his lips and said nothing.
Su Zhiyi coughed twice and said, "Sister, you really have deep feelings for Granny Wu. If you don't know, you would think you are grandparents and grandchildren."
"I'm not your sister," Yu Shengsheng said coldly, "It's hard to say whether we are related or not. We are not biological children, but we are better than biological children. Aren't you the same? You are closer to me than a biological child."
Su Zhiyi's expression suddenly changed: "You..."
Su Dingqin shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Which word did I say is nonsense?" Yu Shengsheng sneered.
The Su brothers and sisters all discovered that after Mrs. Wu's death, Yu Shengsheng became sharper and every word he said was full of blood and sharp like a knife.
Su Yanshu was secretly annoyed. If he had known this would happen, he should not have pushed her too hard. Now that he had lost Wu Po's weak spot, it would be difficult to control Yu Shengsheng.
Su Zhiyi said coldly: "I knew it long ago, it's because of your identity that I have been holding a grudge..."
Su Yanshu frowned: "Okay, shouldn't Shengsheng have complaints? As a daughter of the Su family, she has not been treated properly and has not been included in the family tree until now."
Su Zhiyi was surprised: "Second brother, you..."
"Stop talking," Su Yanshu motioned her to shut up, and then looked at Yu Shengsheng, "Shengsheng, second brother knows that you have been wronged. After the funeral is over tomorrow, second brother will talk to grandmother and put you on the family tree, okay?"
Su Dingqin was also shocked: "Yanshu, what are you talking about?"
Yu Shengsheng's words were full of sarcasm and his eyes were full of cold smiles: "Second Master, don't worry about it. It's not necessary. Besides, who will announce the funeral tomorrow? According to customs, it can take at least three days, up to seven days, or even half a month."
The three of them all changed their expressions. Seven days or half a month?
Wouldn't that be the end of them?
Su Zhiyi patted the wheelchair: "No..."
Kong Dezhao strode in: "No what?"
Su Zhiyi took the words back.
Kong Dezhao turned around and took the food box from Kong Tu's hand, placed it in front of Yu Shengsheng, took out the chopsticks and stuffed them into her hand, took out the paper money, and threw the whole stack into the basin.
"Eat your meal, don't starve yourself and become thin."
How could Yu Shengsheng have an appetite? But she had to eat.
Su Yanshu looked at the wet mark on the ground - that was where the crab roe noodles were spilled.
Kong Dezhao watched her finish eating and was very satisfied. He wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
"What else do you want to do? Tell me."
Yu Shengsheng shook her head: "Nothing else, I just want to keep vigil for Grandma Wu for a while."
"Just let them guard it, why should I guard it myself?" Kong Dezhao was puzzled.
Yu Shengsheng said seriously: "My Lord, Grandma Wu is not a servant to me, but a relative. She treats me very well. If it weren't for her, I would have died many times when I was a child. So, please help me."
"Okay," Kong Dezhao agreed readily, "Then I'll have someone put a comfortable bed for you in the yard next door, and you can go and sleep for a while when you're tired."
"good."
Kong Dezhao tilted his head to look at the Su brothers and sisters: "What are you standing there for? Cry quickly!"
Three people: "..."
At this moment, Kong Mao came in quickly: "Prince, Lu San is here, and he said he came here on orders from the palace."
Su Yanshu looked up when he heard this, and was delighted. Could it be that the prince asked the emperor for help? But then he thought again, it was not right. If it was the prince or the emperor's intention, they would not let Lu San come.
Kong Dezhao also frowned slightly: "Let him in."
Lu Xingzhan changed into a moon-white brocade robe and a white jade hairpin, without any bright colors on his body.
Following behind him was a servant, also dressed in white, with a white belt around his waist, and holding a tray in his hands.
Kong Dezhao looked at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Lu Xingzhan bowed and said, "I am ordered by the Imperial Concubine to give Yu Shengsheng several feet of fine white cloth."
He also looked at Kong Dezhao and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Kong Dezhao snorted coldly: "Of course this prince is standing up for Shengsheng. This funeral was also caused by this prince."
Lu Xingzhan sneered: "Without you, won't others hold funerals?"
"Don't call me Shengsheng all the time. It's so intimate. You asked for a marriage, but the emperor didn't agree. Now you call me Shengsheng, aren't you afraid of tarnishing Miss Yu's reputation?"
Kong Dezhao was furious and was about to retort, but Lu Xingzhan spoke quickly and said, "Last time you were fighting with me in the brothel, and now you call me Shengsheng. You really don't mind being shabby."
