Chapter 171 Grandparents' Conversation
The meal was eaten very quickly, and the old marquis and his wife, who had a small appetite, were the first to leave.
After everyone finished eating, Su Yue sent Murong away to rest before going to the old marquis' study.
When she arrived at the study, Su Qiwen's brother had already arrived and was chatting with the old marquis in the study. Before Su Yue reached the door, she heard laughter coming from the study.
Su Yue smiled.
Liang Bo, who was guarding the door, saw that it was her who came and quickly invited her in: "Miss, the old man is waiting, please come in."
"Thank you, Uncle Liang."
Su Yue glanced at this loyal servant who had followed his grandfather since he was young, thanked him, and pushed the door open before entering.
"Miss, there's no need to be so polite." Liang Bo said with a smile, then closed the door and stood guard at the door.
Although he was a servant in the Marquis' Mansion, the masters of the Mansion never gave him a hard time and respected him very much. It was his blessing to be a servant to his level.
Liang Bo straightened himself up, stood with his hands hanging down, and had a smile on his face, unable to hide his good mood.
"Yue girl is here, please sit down."
As soon as Su Yue entered, the old marquis pointed to the position of his lower right hand and said.
Su Yue nodded, sat down and asked, "Grandfather, how is your health now?"
The old marquis was so thin that it was a little scary. After Su Yue asked, she grabbed his wrist and took his pulse.
The old man let her do what she wanted. He stroked his beard with his left hand and said with a smile, "Grandfather is in good health and has nothing wrong with him. I wonder if you are all doing well in Yunwu Village?"
Brother Su Qiwen nodded: "We are all fine."
After saying that, Su Qiwen gestured to Su Yue and asked her to talk about that matter. After all, neither of them could explain it clearly.
After taking the old marquis's pulse, Su Yue let go of the old marquis's hand and said to him with a smile, "Grandfather, there's nothing wrong with your body. You're just a little bit deficient in Qi and blood. I'll prescribe some medicine for you later. It's just right that I want to tell you about that matter."
The old marquis smiled and said, "Grandfather said he was fine, it's like this when people get old, but you two brats still don't believe me. So, is Grandfather right?"
The old marquis glanced at Su Qiwen and his brother, meaning that they should not listen to the old man's words. His eyes were so smug!
Brother Su Qiwen just smiled.
Seeing that his two grandsons didn't respond, the old marquis said to Su Yue, "Then Yue girl, tell me about it. I'm also very curious. I've lived to this age and have never encountered such a strange thing."
Su Yue pursed her lips: "Grandfather knows Prince Jing, right?"
"Prince Jing, is that the Prince Jing who was sentenced to death a few years ago?"
The old marquis was completely bewildered. From the tone of his granddaughter's voice, he felt that it was related to him. But wasn't this person dead? How could he be related to her?
Su Yue nodded: "Yes, this matter is related to him."
The old marquis was shocked: "How is this possible? Isn't he already dead? Could it be that his remaining forces are causing trouble?"
Su Yue shook her head. "No, Grandfather, you wouldn't have guessed it. Prince Jing isn't dead at all, and he's even come to Northwest City. He was the one who did that earlier incident. He set up a fortune-sucking formation, using Su He's blood as a trigger. That's why everyone in our Su family's bloodline has mysteriously fallen ill."
Using Su He's blood as an introduction was Su Yue's guess. She had seen a lot of it when she was still in school at the end of the world.
This luck-sucking formation couldn't possibly suck the luck of people of the Su family's bloodline for no reason. There must be a medium. She thought of it when she heard that Su He was captured, and she was certain of it when she saw Su He's body.
When the old marquis heard about Su He, his face changed. He even forgot about the miraculous event of King Jing's resurrection. He asked, "Yue girl said that Su He was also involved? Where is she?"
If she was involved in this, he would break her legs and make her unable to leave the house for the rest of her life.
Judging from the old marquis's anxious look, he still cares about Su He quite a bit, but Su He doesn't see this clearly and is determined to climb up the social ladder in order to escape her fate as a concubine's daughter.
They thought that she would be like the concubines of other families and would be married off to a random family.
Given the character of the Su family, how could they be so careless and so disregard her life or death?
It can only be said that she had no judgment and did not trust the Su family enough. She only believed what Aunt Zhang instilled in her, that there was a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and that only by marrying well could she change her fate.
Su Yue said, "Grandfather, Su He is dead. We kept her somewhere until we could report this to you and see how to deal with her. Also, when she was in Yunwu Village, she insisted on following Prince Yi and becoming his slave. She has severed ties with our Su family. My eldest and second brothers were present at the time."
"Yes, grandfather. Second sister's behavior is so chilling. She doesn't even want our Su family, but wants to follow Prince Yi and be his slave."
Su Qicheng said angrily that when he heard the news that Su He was dead, he did not feel sad at all, but felt that it was a good thing for her to die.
If she hadn't died, I really don't know what trouble she would have made. The Su family was clearly tied to Murong Li, and Prince Yi clearly had bad intentions, so how dare he follow him?
She is really stupid. If she follows Prince Yi, will Prince Yi treat her well?
Moreover, the Su family is already unlucky enough. If they get even more unlucky, the whole family will be beheaded. Can the Su family afford such consequences?
Su Qiwen also said: "This is absolutely true. At that time, my second sister refused to listen to any advice and insisted on going with Prince Yi. Not only did she tell Prince Yi everything that happened along the way.
How could Prince Yi be a good person? He clearly had bad intentions, yet he was completely bewitched by him.
Later, Prince Yi no longer wanted her, so she ran away on her own. I don't know how she was captured by Prince Jing, and she almost killed our entire family. Grandfather, such a person is not worth our sadness. It's best if she dies."
"Sad? Why should I be sad? This is such a fool. I didn't expect her to be so stupid with such a big heart."
The old marquis was so angry that he slammed the table. When he saw the mother and daughter chasing Prince Yi, he intended to expel Su He from the Su family.
But he never expected that he would do such a stupid thing and tell Prince Yi everything that happened during their journey. Prince Yi hoped that Murong Li would die, and he didn't know what nonsense he would say in front of the emperor when he returned.
They had not suffered any punishment along the way, which was what the emperor least wanted to see. Otherwise, what was the point of exiling them?
This idiot is going to kill the Su family. The emperor is a very fickle person. He worries every day that someone will rebel against him. I don’t know what the Su family will face now.
The old marquis felt like he was sitting on pins and needles and couldn't sit still at all. He really wanted to whip Su He twice, the evil spirit.
When he heard that she had died, he felt a little sad. After all, she was his granddaughter, a flesh and blood of the Su family. It was somewhat tragic that she died like that, but he never expected to do such a thing.
