Chapter 274: Su Changhe is unwilling to give up
Sun looked at Su Xiaoxiao eagerly, and the other ladies also looked at Su Xiaoxiao eagerly.
As Su Xiaoxiao said, she would not tell lies.
Su Xiaoxiao asked Sun curiously: "Master Cao is so good to the three children, didn't you find that they look nothing like you?
You go back to your mother's house every month for a short stay, and it is your cousin who picks you up, right?"
These two sentences seem to be inconsistent. Su Xiaoxiao said nothing, but said everything.
Sun looked at Su Xiaoxiao in despair. How overestimating she was, she actually wanted to provoke Zhao Wanyue.
She always boasted about how good Lao Cao was to her, and how many ladies she offended. It was no wonder that these words would soon reach Lao Cao's ears.
Sure enough, someone soon said, "Speaking of Madam Sun's cousin, I have met him once. He looks so much like Madam Sun's son. We all thought that the nephew looked like his uncle. Is there something else we don't know?" Sun
regretted it. She shouldn't have come today, but now that things have come to this, there is no point in regretting it.
Sun just said that she was not feeling well and hurriedly left.
Those ladies were still thinking about the scandal of Princess Xu and Sun with a gloating look, only to see Su Xiaoxiao looking at them with a burning gaze.
The smiles on their faces froze instantly, replaced by uneasiness and panic.
These noble ladies all looked glamorous, dignified and generous, but who didn't have some dirty things in the backyard, and there were more than one or two who held lives in their hands.
They couldn't sit still, and quickly stood up and said goodbye, fearing that if they walked a little slower, they would become Su Xiaoxiao's target.
Before leaving, she did not forget to promise Zhao Wanyue: "Madam Zhao, we are really here to see the Duke. You are kind-hearted and more than just filial. We all know this!"
Su Xiaoxiao was still not satisfied and chased after those ladies and shouted: "Don't go, let's talk for a while, I still have a lot of things to say!"
Hearing Su Xiaoxiao say this, the ladies who were originally jogging started running at the same time. In the blink of an eye, the crowded hall was empty. Only Old Madam Pei and Young Madam Pei were left, laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their waists.
Mrs. Pei laughed for a long time before she pulled Su Xiaoxiao in front of her, scratched her nose and said, "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, you are such a little shrew. Now I guess they don't even dare to dream about you.
I worry too much. With Xiaoxiao here, no one can bully your mother."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Mrs. Pei with a smile and thought: [Grandma Pei is such a good person. In this case, I won't tell anyone about your family's affairs.]
Zhao Wanyue's eyelids twitched in anxiety. Little ancestor, you'd better keep this in mind. If she says a word, how can she live up to Mrs. Pei's righteousness.
After being tortured by Su Xiaoxiao, no one dared to spread rumors that Zhao Wanyue was disobedient to her father-in-law.
Su Bohao went to the Ministry of War to report that he had left Beidi without permission, but he believed that the documents for pursuing deserters would arrive soon. The assistant minister of the Ministry of War did not want to be implicated, so he went to report to the emperor.
The emperor was naturally happy that Duke Zhenguo returned safely, but thinking of Liu's various affairs, he felt sad for Duke Zhenguo again.
Fortunately, the eldest son Su Bowen has made great achievements now. Although Su Bohao has not made much achievements, he is a good person for being filial to his father. He was very happy and gave Su Bohao a lot of rewards. He also allowed him not to return to Beidi and let him serve as a lieutenant in the city defense camp.
When the imperial edict was delivered to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Su Xiaoxiao almost exploded with anger, cursing in her heart: "The emperor is such a fool, he can't tell good from bad. I'm telling him to cancel all these rewards!"
Su Changhe also agreed with her.
Fortunately, Zhao Wanyue heard Su Xiaoxiao's voice, and after the eunuch who delivered the edict left the palace, she stopped Su Xiaoxiao.
She asked: "Xiaoxiao, do you think that Second Uncle shouldn't get these rewards?"
Su Xiaoxiao said angrily: "Bullshit Second Uncle, he is Liu and Shen Tianyou's child!"
Su Changhe was deeply touched: "Xiaoxiao is right, every time I call him Second Uncle, I want to vomit. Let's report to the emperor directly and treat him as a deserter!"
Zhao Wanyue smiled and said: "You brothers and sisters hate each other, that's a very good thing, but things are not as simple as you think!"
"We don't have any evidence of Su Bohao's true identity!"
Su Changhe muttered, "Xiaoxiao has already said it, how could it be false!"
Zhao Wanyue touched Su Xiaoxiao's pigtail and said, "The witnesses related to this matter are either dead or crazy. Without solid evidence, we can't do anything.
Your father and your sister have made great contributions, which is a good thing, but it has also put our Chinese Kung Fu at the center of controversy, and many people are jealous. Now if we deal with Su Bohao, we will not only be talked about, but will also bring trouble to your father and sister.
Besides, Su Bohao certainly doesn't know his true identity. Your grandfather has acknowledged him, and we can endure it for your grandfather's sake." After
Zhao Wanyue finished speaking, her brows furrowed, and she added: "More importantly, the emperor has just given a reward, and everyone in the capital knows about it. If we say that Su Bohao is wrong now, isn't it clearly saying that the emperor doesn't know people well? The emperor will be unhappy. Let's put this matter aside for now. As long as your second uncle doesn't make trouble, don't mention this matter again in the future!"
The emperor was suspicious and a little stubborn. This was a public secret. If Xiaoxiao really used Su Bohao's affairs to save his face, the emperor would certainly be angry.
Besides, the emperor's order cannot be changed overnight. This is not only related to the emperor's face, but also to the prestige of the royal family. Even if the emperor knows that Su Bohao has bad behavior and uses his father to escape the crime, he will turn a blind eye, so it is useless to say more.
Moreover, the Liu family's affairs have already brought shame to the Zhenguo Mansion. If Su Bohao's scandal is brought up, it will still be a disgrace to the Zhenguo Mansion.
Both public and private matters can only be put aside for the time being.
Su Changhe understood, but Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled, but she didn't take Su Bohao seriously. Her mother said it was good for her grandfather, so she had to endure it!
Anyway, she had ten thousand ways to deal with Su Bohao.
Su Bohao was naturally overjoyed at this blessing in disguise. He also knew that it was different from the past, so he kept a low profile for the time being and became much quieter.
Everything was going in a good direction, except for Su Changhe, who was unhappy. Everyone in the family had made a good career, not to mention his father, who had ended the years of chaos in the Western Territory.
His sister's career was flourishing. In addition to the girls' school, the emperor often asked her for advice, and she had been rewarded by the emperor more than once, which many men could not match.
Xiaoxiao needless to say, Dashuo is doing well today, it is all her credit. On the other hand, he is neither good at reading nor martial arts, and he has accomplished nothing in this family. The more
Su Changhe thinks about it, the more inferior he feels. He must do something big to live up to his family name!
