Chapter 51: Cousin? Calculation
"What does your Highness Prince Rui mean? How could this servant possess such extraordinary abilities?"
"That day on the painted boat, I overheard the conversation between the Minister of Rites' daughter, Zhang Nanyi, and her maid, and that's when I went to look for Sister Shen Wan."
Prince Rui sneered: "Is that so? It turns out that I think too highly of Miss Su."
"I thought Miss Su had extraordinary abilities."
Su Yuheng: "If I really had some extraordinary ability, I wouldn't be standing here talking to Your Highness."
"It's getting late today, so I'll take my leave."
After Su Yuheng finished speaking, he bowed to Prince Rui, turned around and left Wangjing Tower.
Little did he know that the man behind him was keeping his eyes on him.
However, she knew that Prince Rui was extraordinary.
King Rui died tragically in his previous life, and I wonder what will happen to him in this life?
Now there is one more person to deal with the King of Qi, which is good.
Three days later.
Liu Yunli, the nephew from Liu's maternal side, came as expected.
Su Yuheng was still in Fangfei Courtyard thinking about asking someone to investigate Chen Tingzhou's affairs when Bai Zhi hurried over.
"Miss, the relatives from the Madam's family have arrived. I'd like you to go to the front hall."
Su Yuheng asked: "Maternal relatives, which relatives?"
Bai Zhi said, "It seems his surname is also Liu, and he is said to be the young lady's cousin."
Liu Yunli?
Su Yuheng frowned slightly. Isn’t Liu Yunli the son of Liu’s younger brother?
Her cousin who appears to be a gentleman.
In fact, not only is he addicted to gambling, he also often hangs out in brothels.
There is also venereal disease.
Unexpectedly, Liu had someone bring Liu Yunli from Yongzhou to Yanjing so quickly.
She rose from her chair.
"I see. Let's change our clothes and go to the front hall."
"Yes, miss."
When Su Yuheng arrived at the front hall of the Su family, he heard the voices of Liu, Liu Yunli and the old lady of the Su family from afar.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. Yunli is even better than before. He is so majestic and impressive that it makes me feel very proud."
Sitting on the chair, Liu Yunli was wearing a light brown gorgeous suit and looked at Liu with a gentle and refined look.
"Aunt, thank you for your praise. Yunli came to Yanjing this time at my father's request, specifically to visit you."
He looked around.
"Why aren't there cousins Huan'er and Heng'er?"
Liu said, "Yu Huan is praying in Jiangnan. I estimate she won't be back for another month."
"Heng'er has already sent someone to call him. He should be arriving at the front hall soon."
When Su Yuheng walked to the front hall, he heard these two sentences from Liu.
Su Yuhuan prays for blessings in Jiangnan?
Whose daughter goes to Jiangnan to pray for blessings for a year?
It was obvious that she went to Jiangnan to give birth secretly.
Su Yuhuan was engaged to Xiao Ce, the prince of Huainan, but she lost her virginity to Prince Xin before the marriage.
Prince Xin is your Majesty's ninth brother, and he is about thirty or forty years old.
She had been having an affair with Prince Xin without telling anyone.
Prince Xin had a princess, and Su Yuhuan didn't want to be a concubine, so she had to be Prince Xin's mistress, who was not allowed to be seen in public.
After she became pregnant, she was afraid that the Huainan Palace would investigate the marriage, so she secretly ran away to Jiangnan in the name of praying for blessings.
In fact, she just went to Jiangnan to nurture her pregnancy and give birth.
In her previous life, Su Yuhuan gave birth to the child and secretly raised him outside the mansion. The Marquis's Mansion was afraid of hiding it from everyone, so they married her to the Huainan Prince's Mansion.
Su Yuhuan was afraid that her loss of virginity and childbirth before marriage would be discovered.
He almost designed her to sleep with Xiao Ce, the prince of Huainan, in order to use her womb to bear a child for Xiao Ce.
Let her be the concubine and Su Yuhuan the mistress.
When she went to the Huainan Palace and found something wrong, she came back early, which prevented Su Yuhuan from succeeding.
Judging from the date, Su Yuhuan should be back soon.
I'm afraid there will be something interesting to watch then.
Su Yuheng thought about it and strode into the Su family's lobby. As soon as he walked in, he saw the man on the chair looking at him.
"Oh, this is my cousin Heng'er. She has become even more graceful after not seeing her for many years."
Su Yuheng: "Thank you for the compliment, cousin. I think you are different now."
Liu Yunli put down his teacup and looked around at Su Yuheng: "My cousin has reached the age of marriage. Do you have someone you like?"
Su Yuheng sat on the chair, silent.
"Heng'er, why don't you answer your cousin's question?" Liu was a little displeased.
Su Yuheng smiled and said, "Mother, don't you know whether I have someone I like or not?"
"Heng'er will not marry anyone other than Brother Yanqiu in this life."
"You are ridiculous!" Liu slammed her palm on the table, her body trembling slightly with anger.
"If you say that again, don't blame your mother for dragging you into the pond and drowning you."
Liu Yunli on the side was also confused.
He knew that Su Yuheng was not the fourth daughter of the Su family, but he didn't expect that the person Su Yuheng liked was Su Yanqiu.
"My cousin said...she won't marry anyone other than Cousin Yanqiu?"
Su Yuheng sat in the chair and remained silent again.
She just wanted to make Liu anxious, only in this way could her plan fail.
The atmosphere in the front hall was very depressing. Old Madam Su leaned on her crutches and stared at Su Yuheng, anger rising in her heart.
"Fourth girl, don't say that again, or you'll kill our Su family."
"And you said that in front of your cousin, you are simply..."
Old Madam Su shook her sleeves in anger.
Instead, Liu Yunli on the side consoled her, saying, "I think my cousin is still young and doesn't understand the relationship between men and women. I was just saying it casually."
"Although my cousin has reached marriageable age, she is still a sentimental girl."
"Yunli is right." Liu continued.
"Heng'er is still young, and doesn't understand what love is. She thinks Yanqiu is being nice to her, and she mistakenly takes this brother-sister relationship for a love between a man and a woman."
"Heng'er, since your cousin has come all the way from Yongzhou to Yanjing City, you should get along well with him."
"Getting along with my cousin?" Su Yuheng curled his lips.
"Mother, do you want to marry Heng'er to Yongzhou?"
Liu was silent for a moment, then said, "If you two get along well, you would be willing to go to Yongzhou."
"I said, I will not marry anyone else but Brother Yanqiu, and I don't want to get along with anyone else!" After Su Yuheng finished speaking, he jumped up from the chair.
"If mother insists on doing this, her daughter will have no choice but to die!"
After she finished speaking, she took Bai Zhi and left the front hall without looking back.
"It's totally treasonous! What a rebellious girl!" Old Madam Su leaned on her crutches, her whole body shaking with anger.
Liu immediately walked over and supported her.
"Old Madam, this girl can no longer stay in the mansion. Our Su family will be destroyed by her sooner or later."
"If the old lady doesn't mind, how about marrying her off to the Liu family in Yongzhou?"
Liu Yunli, who was sitting on the chair, showed a look of joy on his face when he heard that Su Yuheng was going to marry him.
His whole body was trembling slightly with excitement.
Liu helped Madam Su up and walked towards the old lady's yard.
When they reached the courtyard, he whispered to Madam Su, "On the day Prince Qi was assassinated, that girl's identity was nearly exposed to His Majesty and the Queen. If the Queen investigates later, our Marquisate will be finished."
"Why not marry her to Yunli and let her go to Yongzhou and never come back in her lifetime, to prevent any more trouble."
Madam Su took a deep breath and said, "But now, the Fourth Girl's marriage is decided by the Retired Emperor. How can we marry her off to Yongzhou?"
Liu sneered and said, "My daughter-in-law has her own way. In three days, I will take the children to the White Horse Temple to pray for blessings, and Yunli will go with us."
"If that girl gave her body to Yunli, would the emperor not make the decision?"
