"Princess, the Su family is going too far!"
In the pavilion, Ning Wan looked at the scenery outside with great interest.
Xiaoju looked at Ning Wan, who didn't listen to her words, and became anxious. "Princess, aren't you curious about what the Su family did?"
Xiaoju waved her hand in front of Ning Wan's eyes and spoke with an expression of indignation on her behalf, "How dare the Su family name that little girl who appeared out of nowhere Su Ningwan? How dare they? They are deliberately humiliating the princess."
Xiaoju's tone was very angry, as if she wanted to kill Qiuyue who used Ning Wan's name.
Ning Wan simply curled her lips slightly, "Xiao Ju, don't judge things by appearances."
If the Su family had not been instructed by Shen Jingyi, how could they have done something that could cost them their lives at any time?
"Tell me, what is the relationship between me and the current emperor?"
"Of course they are siblings..." Xiaoju's voice became smaller and smaller, and she became less and less confident.
Ning Wan looked at Xiaoju, who lowered her head after saying something wrong, and sighed slowly, "I already know. There's no need for you to hide it from me."
"You and I both know that the current emperor is my consort, Shen Jingyi, and we also know that he announced to the public that I died in the fire."
"Putting aside her and Shen Jingyi's marriage status, the name Ning Wan, just because of her identity as a princess of the previous dynasty, is not something that most people would dare to use."
“Now that this has happened, if Shen Jingyi hadn’t intended to do so, how could the Su family have the courage to do such a thing.”
Xiaoju didn't expect that her princess would really patiently explain the ins and outs of this to her.
She really didn't think so much at the beginning. She just thought that the wild girl who came from nowhere wanted to get the honor that didn't belong to her by using the same name as the princess.
But the princess now is no longer the same princess as before. This name no longer brings honor, but may bring countless troubles.
But what is Shen Jingyi's purpose?
Xiao Ju suddenly raised her head, and her eyes looked at Ning Wan with a bit more certainty, "Princess, don't worry, no matter who Shen Jingyi is, as long as I, Xiao Ju, am here, Shen Jingyi will never think of hurting you."
In Xiaoju's heart, her princess is the best.
Even if Shen Jingyi turned over and became the emperor, what would it matter? In her heart, Shen Jingyi was always not worthy of the princess.
Ning Wan looked at Xiao Ju with a faint smile, and in order not to anger her, she still did not tell her about Chen Jingyi climbing into the bed at night.
"Let's go. The situation isn't life-or-death yet."
"Ah!" Xiaoju exclaimed subconsciously, "Where is the princess going?"
Looking at Ning Wan's receding back, Xiaoju hurriedly caught up and asked.
"You'll know when you get there." Ning Wan reached out and tapped Xiaoju's head, speaking with a hint of mystery.
At the same time, the Su family's old house was already crowded with people.
Almost the entire city gathered here.
As early as the second day after Su Liming and Madam Su took Qiuyue away from the Li Mansion, the Su Mansion announced the news of adopting a daughter.
They even planned to hold a grand banquet in the whole city and entertain everyone in the city. You should know that when the Su family adopted a son before, there was no such grand ceremony.
For a moment, the people in the city came one by one to surround the Su Mansion, with three layers of people inside and three layers of people outside.
"Do you think the Su family is crazy? To entertain the entire city is a huge expense."
"Who said it wasn't? I just adopted a daughter. If you don't know, you might think I adopted a goddess."
"You are so naive. Everyone in the capital knows that the Su family has been promoted. That man from the Su family, who is about to reach his fifties, was somehow appreciated by the emperor and appointed the Minister of Rites."
"So that's how it is. It seems like the Su family wants to use this opportunity to make a name for themselves."
"Of course, otherwise how could a girl make the Su family willingly pay so much money."
"Did the former Minister of Rites retire and return to his hometown?" A passerby approached the group and asked a question in a low voice.
"You are really stupid!"
The group of people looked at the person who asked this question. Although he looked a little unfamiliar, they didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, the capital is not a big city, so it is normal not to know one or two people.
What's more, the passerby's accent didn't sound like that of a foreigner, so the group of people were no longer on guard. After looking at each other for a few seconds, they pushed one person out.
The man who was pushed out had an honest face, but there was a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.
As if afraid that others might hear him, he waved to passersby, signaling them to come closer and listen.
The passerby looked a little solemn, but still leaned over.
The man didn't care about the passerby's attitude and just told him what he knew, "I heard that the previous one died directly in the hall, and this one stepped on the bones of others to get there."
"This..." The passerby didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this, and he shuddered suddenly.
"Then what crime did the previous Minister of Rites commit that would result in..." The passerby looked a little flustered and asked again hurriedly.
"Why are you asking so clearly? Even if the Minister of Rites didn't make any mistakes, there's a saying that goes, 'If the ruler wants his subject to die, the subject must die.'"
"If we must investigate the reason, it must be that he said something wrong and offended the new emperor, so he was dragged out to establish his authority."
"You look like a scholar, how come you don't even understand this?"
Perhaps because the crowd was too noisy, the two people's voices were often drowned out by others. The person who was pushed out couldn't help but chat with passersby.
"Pull him out to show off your authority?" The passerby's voice suddenly trembled and his body began to tremble.
It's really ridiculous just to establish authority.
"Oh, what are you afraid of? Even if the emperor wants to make an example of someone, it's not his turn to target us ordinary people. No matter who the emperor is, as long as he can make us ordinary people live a good life, I don't care about these trivial matters."
Looking at the passerby's shaking legs, pale face, and frightened look, he lost the desire to continue talking. After a few sarcastic remarks, the man squeezed forward and continued to join in the fun.
He completely ignored how much stimulation his words brought to Wu Qi.
Wu Qi retreated step by step, with obvious red bloodshot on the surface of his eyeballs and a clear sense of forbearance permeating his whole body.
The lights and decorations all around reveal a sense of joy.
In the hall, Qiuyue was smiling as she looked at the mansion filled with people, feeling strangely satisfied.
From today on, she is also a well-known noble lady in the capital. She wants to see who dares to look down on her.
Qiuyue's head was covered with various jewelries, she was wearing a gorgeous pink dress, and she had a jade bracelet on each wrist.
There was a smug smile on his face.
