Chapter 57 The Old Emperor's Only Bloodline



Mr. Su was shocked and even suspected that he had heard wrongly. His original wife, Li Ruohua, was just an orphan. How...how could this be related to the Queen?

He collected his thoughts and laughed dryly, "When I met your biological mother, she ran a cloth shop and did some cloth business. She liked to be alone and didn't have many friends."

"Later I learned that she was an orphan with unknown parents. She begged for a living as a child, and later worked as a helper in a cloth shop. After saving some money, she started her own business."

"They became good friends when they were young, and later developed some feelings for each other, so they got married."

What Mr. Su didn't say was that, back then, he admired Li Ruhua, but she was actually engaged to a man who was his good friend. He offended a powerful person in business and was killed, and she was also involved in the lawsuit.

He helped and avenged his friend, and took the opportunity to repay the favor, so he married Li Ruohua.

Speaking of his ex-wife at this time, Master Su looked somewhat longing. He had never seen a woman like that before. She was different from the others and had a very strong personality... But it was precisely because she was too strong-willed that in the end, there was no affection left between the couple.

Su Juan looked suspicious, [I always felt that this old man's words were true and false, and he was hiding something.]

Mr. Su felt guilty because before he got married, he had promised Li Ruohua that he would never take a concubine in his life. However, one year after the marriage, Li Ruohua became pregnant, so he married Lingling's biological mother. Because of this, the relationship between the couple became increasingly unharmonious.

At that time, she was pregnant and wanted to divorce, but how could he agree? A few years after giving birth to Su Juan, she wanted to leave the Su Mansion and manage the business outside, but he stopped her. At that time, he didn't think so much. He just felt that she was now the mistress of the Su Mansion, and she just needed to take care of the backyard. Why should she go out and show her face?

But he didn't expect that Li Ruohua suffered from heart disease after giving birth to her daughter and died of depression.

Whenever he saw his daughter, he would think of Li Ruohua and become upset, so he sent her to the farm to be raised.

Mr. Su knew clearly that Li Ruhua's daughter didn't regard him as her father at all. He could never tell Su Juan about these things in his lifetime, otherwise the little relationship they had left would be unsustainable.

Su Juan originally came to inquire about his background. As for the unfaithful deeds of Mr. Su when he was young, she was not interested. It was just the same love, hate and vengeance that came back to her.

She took out the jade pendant, placed it in front of Master Su, and asked, "Do you know where this jade pendant came from?"

Master Su nodded. He had seen this jade pendant once or twice before at Li Ruohua's place. "It belongs to your mother. She said she had been wearing it since she was a child..."

As he finished speaking, his eyes flickered. Could it be that this jade pendant that Li Ruohua was wearing had something to do with the current queen?

Before he could take a closer look, he saw Su Juan had already put the jade pendant away.

However, Mr. Su still figured out the general idea. After all, he was a businessman and had done a lot of jade business. It was not difficult for him to remember the pattern, not to mention that this jade pendant was only half a piece.

Su Juan probably guessed something and resolved some of her doubts. When Mr. Su asked her again, she didn't say a word.

Coming out of the study, Su Juan walked towards the front yard, ready to leave.

The queen once had a daughter who went missing when she was young. Only the older generation in the capital knew about this, and because she could never be found, few people mention it now.

This lost daughter may be her biological mother Li Ruohua.

Su Juan knew Master Su too well. The current emperor was childless. If he knew that the late wife was the emperor's lost daughter, and that his daughter was the only blood relative of the old emperor, it would mean that he had a closer relationship with the royal family. What a great benefit it would be, and he would probably make it known to everyone.

Although this would allow her to divorce Song Qianfan, but... the political situation is in chaos now, with constant factional strife. If King Han or Song Qianfan knew that the old emperor still had a blood relative outside, even if she was a woman, they would definitely get rid of her as soon as possible.

At this moment, this jade pendant is like a hot potato.

Su Juan's eyes dimmed. This jade pendant must be hidden well.

As Su Juan was thinking, she ran into Su Lingling.

Su Lingling was a little embarrassed, and after a long while, she finally said, "Sister, thank you for today."

Su Juan raised her eyebrows slightly, [It's rare for Su Lingling to apologize.]

Su Lingling suddenly felt embarrassed.

Su Juan knew that she was just thanking him for the marriage, but she didn't do anything, so she just said the truth, "There's nothing to thank me for."

Although Su Lingling is stupid and always covets other people's things, she has never done anything to harm others.

Su Juan didn't like her, but she wouldn't let her jump into the fire even though she knew she was going to marry a violent bastard who had beaten several servants and maids to death.

They are all women, and if the Su family doesn't listen to her reminder, she will be unable to do anything if Su Lingling is beaten to death after getting married.

Su Lingling had figured it out by now. She knew that she was able to get this marriage thanks to Su Juan. She was not so stupid as to still be hard on Su Juan.

Just like what my mother said, only by getting along well with Su Juan can my life be better in the future.

She took a deep breath and said to Su Juan sincerely, "Sister, what happened before was because I was young and ignorant. I was always afraid that you would come back and snatch things from me... It was my fault. I won't do it again. We are sisters. I will never be so willful again. Please don't hate me."

Su Juan's attitude was cold, "Forget about my sister. I lost my mother when I was young and I don't have a father to love me. I am probably a star of misfortune and I am destined to have no relatives. Second Miss Su should stay away from me, and don't let my evil spirit offend you."

Su Lingling's face turned pale, she was doomed to fail...

[It's so funny, I was scared right away. He is such a coward with ideas but no courage. ]

Su Juan sneered, shook his head, walked past Su Lingling and left the Su Mansion.

They looked disgusted with each other and were in no mood to act out any sisterly love.

Su Lingling bit her lower lip, feeling that she was looked down upon by Su Juan. She stomped her feet in anger, not knowing what to do.

...

After Su Juan left, Mr. Su took a picture of the jade pendant and gave the picture to his confidant to check for any clues.

After Su Juan left the Su Mansion, she returned to Prince Jing's Mansion. At this time, when the people in the mansion saw her, they all looked very strange. Even Princess Jing, who had not been very nice to her recently, suddenly became attentive and showed concern for her.

Dongdong wanted to speak several times, but Princess Jing glared at him and warned him every time.

Su Juan immediately became puzzled and was about to go back to change clothes and ask Dongdong in detail. However, on the way back to the yard, she ran into Song Qianhang, who was full of worries.

"Sister-in-law, Liang Yin is pregnant."

As he spoke, he looked at Su Juan's reaction.

Hearing this, Su Juan turned around to look at Dong Dong. Seeing Dong Dong's expression, she knew why everyone in the mansion was so weird today.

Dong Dong then spoke in a low voice, "Master, I wanted to tell you just now that Liang Yin has been pregnant for several months. The prince only found out today and scolded the prince for a long time. The princess did not allow me to tell you and asked everyone in the mansion to keep it a secret for the time being."

Su Juan smiled, not surprised by this, and waved her hand, "It's okay."

[This matter is finally on the agenda! ]

[It’s been so long, I almost forgot about Liang Yin. Looks like there’s something good to watch again. It’s worth my wait! ]

Song Qianhang was slightly stunned: "?"
