Jiang Qingwan took two bites but couldn't eat anymore.
She puffed out her cheeks and blocked the spoon.
"I want to eat meat, I want to eat roast pigeon."
"Roasted pigeon won't work, but pigeon soup is good for the cut."
Mo Yunhan coaxed softly with a smile.
Jiang Qingwan rolled her eyes at him.
"I'm not in postpartum confinement, why would I drink pigeon soup? If you won't buy it for me, I'll have Qinghui buy it for me."
As she spoke, she stood up and walked to the door. Just as she was about to call for someone, she saw Qing Sui kneeling blankly not far away.
I don't know how long I knelt there.
Jiang Qingwan frowned.
"Mo Yunhan, did you punish her?"
Lian'er hurriedly explained.
"No, Miss, the Prince did not punish Qinghui. It was Qinghui who saw you injured and ran to kneel down, saying that she had failed to protect you."
"And Lee Doo..."
"Li Dou?"
Jiang Qingwan then noticed that Li Dou was practicing his martial arts in another corner of the courtyard.
He swung the meteor hammer again and again, his clothes already soaked with sweat.
Lian'er went over to help her.
“Miss, you don’t need to worry about him. He thinks that his martial arts skills are not good enough and that he is not qualified to accompany and protect you. He is focused on practicing his skills. I have tried to persuade him several times, but he won’t listen. Martial arts skills cannot be mastered in a day.”
Jiang Qingwan felt a mix of sourness and bloating in her heart.
Mo Yunhan waved his hand.
"Lian'er, you can go down now."
After Lian'er curtsied and left, he took Jiang Qingwan's small hand and bowed slightly to look her in the eye.
“I know you’re not afraid of anyone, neither the Emperor nor Su Weichuan. You have countless ways to leave the capital quietly, and no one can stop you. But they can’t.”
Jiang Qingwan's eyes trembled.
Mo Yunhan accurately captured the information and continued to coax, "What you want to investigate, you can investigate just as well in the fiefdom. If Su Weichuan's people really track you down to the fiefdom, it will be more convenient and free for them to take action there than in the capital."
Jiang Qingwan's heart finally began to soften a little.
She enjoys a carefree life.
If everyone in this royal mansion were as cold-hearted and ruthless as the Qin family, then losing them would be no big deal.
She glanced back at Qinghui kneeling and Li Dou practicing his martial arts.
She knew in her heart that if these people died because of her, she would probably never be able to truly live a carefree life for the rest of her days.
"Let me think about it."
Mo Yunhan breathed a sigh of relief and gently pinched her cheek.
"Alright, don't think about it for too long. After the Empress Dowager's funeral, Mo Yunzhao will definitely take action."
Jiang Qingwan looked up at him.
"That medicine can only keep the Emperor Emeritus going for three months. After that, even a god can't help him. Whether you rebel or not, you should make plans as soon as possible."
Mo Yunhan didn't explain further, but obediently nodded.
The bond between father and son had been broken, and he didn't believe that Mo Yunzhao had the patience for it.
...
Inside the Buddha Heart Hall of the Su family residence.
Su Weichuan woke up groggily, feeling someone wiping his forehead.
That hand was unusually soft; it wasn't the old servant's hand.
He was deeply moved, and slowly raised his hand to grasp the lips, reluctant to part.
"Susu, you've finally come to see me."
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
The old princess froze.
She pursed her lips tightly, her eyes filled with boundless hatred.
She jerked her hand back, wishing she could tear the handkerchief in her hand to shreds.
"Susu, don't go."
Su Weichuan was startled awake and struggled to sit up.
His expression changed drastically after he saw who was taking care of him by the bedside.
"Who gave you permission to come in?"
The old servant was bringing in the medicine when he saw this and immediately explained.
"Master, you were seriously injured when you were brought back to the manor, and the Princess Consort saw you. She was worried about you, so..."
"Get out!" Su Weichuan slammed his fist on the bed in anger. "I told you, you're not allowed in the Buddha Heart Hall. Are you senile or deaf?!"
The old princess could no longer hold on.
She abruptly threw the handkerchief in her hand into the basin of water.
"Su Weichuan, after all these years, do you still have any conscience? What do you take me for? What have I ever done to wrong you? You've neglected me for almost twenty years because of a dead man, that's enough!"
The old servant knelt down with a thud, not daring to utter a word at this moment.
Su Weichuan stared intently at the old princess's red, tear-filled eyes.
All that happened in the past is like fleeting clouds.
He suddenly gave a very cold laugh.
"I have no regrets towards you. I gave you three daughters, and they have all achieved success. In the future, you alone will be there to care for me, and there will be no interference from other branches. I have no regrets towards the Lin family either. I am an orphan, and it was indeed the Lin family that supported me back then, which led to the emergence of General Su Weichuan. But over the years, I have fought in the north and south, killing enemies and making meritorious contributions, all for the Lin family's sake. You, and the Lin family, have no right to question me! Now that the Lin and Su families have such glory, what are you dissatisfied with?"
The old princess choked and felt pain in her chest.
She felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching cotton.
That dashing general from back then gave her the greatest satisfaction in her life.
Looking back, she couldn't remember what she hated about him.
Do you hate him for being heartless and ungrateful?
But in the Su family, she was the only wife; there wasn't even a concubine from a collateral branch.
Everyone thought she was lucky, destined to be with one person for life.
But who knows the bitterness she has endured over the past twenty years?
The unbearable loneliness she endured in the dead of night.
She took several deep breaths, but her voice was still trembling.
"Even if it's not for me, not for the Lin family, don't you care about your own children's future? Rong An and Sun Ke now..."
"I don't care."
The four words "calm" easily shattered the emotions she had been holding back for so long.
She stood there, stunned, her eyes wide open.
