Is your engagement with Li'er still valid?
Su Qingli was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes.
She stubbornly refused to let the tears fall: "Master Prime Minister, I swear to heaven that I have never met General Xie, and it is even more impossible for me to reveal our deal to him."
Fu Xuechen then slowly loosened his fingers, unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his strong chest and back. His jade-like skin was white and translucent, and his hoarse voice was like melting snow.
"Continue to apply the rub on my wound."
As Su Qingli gently wiped the bruises all over Fu Xuechen's body, Xie Linyuan's face involuntarily appeared in her mind.
Fu Xuechen was already badly injured, so I wonder how badly Xie Linyuan would be injured.
She subconsciously muttered a few words: "I don't know how seriously General Xie is injured. You are both officials in the court. Why should the Prime Minister and General Xie be at odds over such a small matter?"
Whether it was Xie Linyuan or Fu Xuechen, she didn't care about them. She only had her family in her heart. She had just moved into the Prime Minister's Mansion to save her family.
However, these two people used her as a gimmick to cause a big fight in the palace.
One of them abandoned her heartlessly because he thought her body was not clean.
One hated her for making him suffer humiliation in the Marquis' Mansion, so he humiliated her wantonly.
These two men, driven by their pride, were fighting over her simply for the man's face.
"So, you're blaming me for hitting General Xie?"
Fu Xuechen snorted coldly and knocked over the medicine jar with his hand, sending broken pieces of porcelain scattering all over the floor. "Sure enough, even after becoming my concubine, you still can't forget your former lover and will always protect him."
Su Qingli was startled and debris rolled past her feet.
The man looked down at her from above, his voice as cold and hard as an icicle: "Su Qingli, I'm warning you, if you dare to disobey the rules, your General Xie will be crushed to ashes by me!"
Afterwards, Fu Xuechen closed his clothes, slammed the door and left unhappily, leaving Su Qingli standing there in a daze, unable to calm down for a long time.
Su Qingli felt that Fu Xuechen's unreasonableness was getting worse and worse.
The guard waiting outside the door followed Fu Xuechen and asked very perceptively, "Master Prime Minister, do you want to hold General Xie accountable for his crimes? I will do it immediately."
Fu Xuechen glanced at the dazed person in the house from afar, thought about it, and finally couldn't bear it.
He shook his head and ordered his subordinates not to act rashly.
Standing at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fu Xuechen looked up at the high and empty sky. Birds flapped their wings and flew over his head. He turned and went to the study.
…
The next day, Su Huaihai came to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone. He couldn't get used to the poor and hard life.
These days he was fed up with the food of ordinary people and wanted to live a good life of wealth and glory.
Although the Marquis' Mansion is gone, the Prime Minister's Mansion is still there.
With a son-in-law who is extremely powerful, why doesn't he come to find her?
"The Prime Minister's son-in-law, the Prime Minister's son-in-law!"
Su Huaihai knocked on the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion again and again. This door and this mansion originally belonged to him, but now they have a new owner.
Fortunately, it was his son-in-law, not those unrelated people.
"Who's knocking?" The guard frowned and opened the door. The continuous knocking sounds outside were really too loud.
Su Huaihai raised his chin confidently and said as he was about to squeeze into the Prime Minister's residence: "I'm here to find the Prime Minister's son-in-law. Take me to see him quickly. I'm his father-in-law!"
"The Prime Minister has divorced Miss Su. You'd better not come to harass the Prime Minister's Mansion. Get out!" The guard pushed Su Huaihai away and slammed the door shut, not letting Su Huaihai in.
Su Huaihai staggered and failed to gain his footing, falling to the ground. He racked his brains but could not figure out why the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were so ruthless.
Su Qingli never mentioned her divorce from Fu Xuechen.
Su Huaihai couldn't believe it, but the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion spoke seriously and pushed him out of the door, refusing him to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But it is difficult to figure out the whole story at the moment.
"Uncle Su, why are you sitting on the ground?" Xie Linyuan passed by the Prime Minister's residence and happened to meet Su Huaihai sitting on the ground with his thoughts wandering.
When Su Huaihai saw Xie Linyuan, he burst into tears and said with a sad face: "Young General Xie, the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion are bullying me!"
"Uncle Su, let me help you up first. The ground is cold, so please take care of your legs and feet. After all, you are old." Xie Linyuan considerately helped Su Huaihai stand up.
"General Xie is indeed a man who knows how to deal with people. This Fu Xuechen is an ungrateful person. How dare he reject my daughter? Bah!"
Su Huaihai spat at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Su Qingli was his precious daughter whom he was proud of. It was outrageous that Fu Xuechen turned against her just after she rose to prominence.
Listening to Su Huaihai's insults and dissatisfaction, Xie Linyuan showed joy. Since Su Qingli had been divorced, he had the right to pursue her.
Glancing at Xie Linyuan's delighted face, he tentatively asked, "General Xie, is your engagement with Li'er still valid?"
Back then, Xie Linyuan fled to this bitter and cold place because he couldn't accept the fact that Su Qingli had lost her virginity.
Now Su Qingli has regained her freedom, and Xie Linyuan has returned to the capital.
Fu Xuechen was unwilling to be his support, so Su Huaihai set his sights on Xie Linyuan.
"Uncle Su, there's no need to be so formal. Just call me Ah Lin." Xie Linyuan's clear eyes brightened, and he spoke earnestly, "As for the engagement, as long as the elders in my family agree, I will gladly comply."
Su Huaihai immediately burst into joy, with a bright smile on his face.
I finally found hope in my life. Even though the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't buy it, the General's Mansion was willing to take it over. I finally had a place to stay for the rest of my life.
The men in the general's mansion have been fighting on the battlefield for many years and have made such great contributions. They are honored and rewarded generously.
If Qingli marries him, both her reputation and financial standing will be preserved, and the General's Mansion will be a good place for him to marry.
"Ah Lin, my dear child, you and Li'er can get married soon, which relieves one of my worries. Li'er loves you sincerely. It's all because of Fu Xuechen that you two can't finally get married!"
After Su Huaihai finished his calculations, he gritted his teeth and listed Fu Xuechen's faults, putting all the blame on Fu Xuechen.
Xie Linyuan had a fight with Fu Xuechen before, and he was feeling very angry and unhappy.
When he heard that Su Huaihai disliked Fu Xuechen very much, the dissatisfaction in his chest immediately disappeared.
"Uncle Su, I already know the whole story. It was Master Fu who separated us. I returned to the capital specifically for Qingli. When I heard that your Su family was raided, I was extremely worried."
During the two years he was stationed at the border, Xie Linyuan missed Su Qingli all the time.
No other woman could be like Su Qingli, who made him deeply engraved in his heart and could never be forgotten.
"Our Su family was framed, but it's a foregone conclusion now, so let's not talk about it!" Su Huaihai sighed. The new emperor is not like the previous one.
A new emperor appoints new ministers. Even an insignificant ant like Fu Xuechen dares to step on him!
