Chapter 558 Su Xue's Death
In addition, the soil in Northwest County is suitable for growing fruits and medicinal herbs. The people who have solved the problem of food and clothing can grow fruits and medicinal herbs.
Moreover, the transportation in the entire Northwest County is well-connected, and all official roads are paved with cement roads.
Today's Northwest County is the paradise that the people used to see.
However, the population of Northwest County is still not very large. The main reason is that the territory of Xifeng Kingdom is vast, but the population is not large. In addition, the population of Xifeng Kingdom is concentrated in the Jiangnan area and the capital area. The people in these two places will not move away even if they are beaten to death, so it depends on them to develop on their own.
Of course, Su Yue would not encourage them to have many children, but would let things develop naturally. She did not want to see a population explosion that would burden the country.
The population will not experience negative growth. There is no way to avoid this. If you get pregnant, just give birth.
Also, because people do not have entertainment life like in the end times, and go to bed as soon as it gets dark, the population can only increase and not decrease.
Looking at the thriving scene of West Phoenix, Murong Li and Su Yue felt proud, as it was all thanks to them.
That day, Su Yue had breakfast and was walking in the garden in a wheelchair when Hongyu suddenly came to report that Luo Meiting had given birth to a big fat boy.
It is a great joy to have a new baby in the Duke's Mansion, as the Duke's Mansion has not had any new members for many years.
Su Yue was also happy and she couldn't stop smiling.
But after Hongyu finished her report, she still seemed to be hesitant, as if she had something else to say.
Su Yue looked at her strangely. This girl always spoke very fluently, why was she hesitant today?
"What else do you have to say?"
"My Lady, I don't know whether I should tell you this or not."
Su Yue: "Then just tell me."
Hongyu nodded and then said, "My Lady, I heard from someone that Su Xue and Murong Yi had a fight in the clan residence and both died."
This matter was widely circulated outside. Today, she heard the palace maids who were out shopping talking about it at the palace gate. She asked about it and found out about it.
She also sighed.
Although the Empress seemed to hate Su Xue, in fact, the Empress was just disappointed with her, not really hating her. Now that she was dead, Hongyu thought she should tell the Empress something.
"oh!"
Su Yue was stunned for a moment, then she asked, "Has the emperor sent anyone to deal with it?"
Hongyu nodded: "It's taken care of."
Su Yue sighed: "Just deal with it."
Su Yue sighed in her heart that she had died at such a young age like a flower, and then put the thought out of her mind.
No matter what path you choose, you have to finish it even if you have to crawl on your knees.
In the old Duke's Mansion, now called the Duke Chen's Mansion, Chen Fanghua didn't know what to feel when he heard the news that Su Xue and Murong Yi died together.
Fortunately, she listened to Duke Chen and called off the marriage, otherwise, news of her death might have spread one day.
Recently she has been busy with her wedding preparations. After realizing that marrying Murong Li was impossible, she accepted the marriage arranged by her parents and got married in half a month.
She is the first girl of her age in the capital who is still unmarried. The man’s family background is not very good, which is why they have been delaying the marriage until now. She does not mind the man’s poor family background, as long as they can make a living.
She also thought it through and stopped doing it. What belongs to her in this life belongs to her, and what does not belong to her cannot be obtained even if you use all means.
Madam Su Er from the Second House of the Duke's Mansion cried her heart out upon hearing the news, but was scolded by Master Su Er: "Cry, cry, cry! All you know is crying. What's the point of crying? She didn't listen to the Empress and ended up like this. She asked for it."
If he had not listened to Su Xue's lies and supported Murong Yi, the second branch of the Su family would not be in such a state of being ignored now.
He is still in office and is the second uncle of the Queen. Although he may not be very successful now, at least there are many people who come to curry favor with him, and he enjoys endless honors.
Now, everyone in the capital knows the Su family's first branch, the Empress's mother's family, but who still remembers the Su family's second branch?
If their son had not been successful, the life of the second branch of the family would be worse than that of ordinary civilians.
Now Mr. Su was filled with rage when he looked at Madam Su. They were both women, and both had concubines and illegitimate children. But look at Madam Su, her children were well educated, and all of them had promising futures, even her illegitimate children had promising futures, and both of them had good futures.
His family now has only one son, a sole heir.
In the past, Su He also lost his life because of his desire to become rich, and later Su Xue also lost her life.
Mr. Su looked at Madam Su with disgust. Both of his daughters behaved like that. It was all Madam Su's fault for not teaching them well. She was jealous all day long and only had eyes for the concubine. She was afraid that the concubine would compete with her for favor, and she didn't focus on her children. Madam Su should bear the greatest responsibility for the current situation.
After hearing what Master Su said, Mrs. Su was so angry that she didn't know where she got the courage from, but she got up, grabbed Master Su's hair, and slammed her head against the wall.
"You're still blaming me. What kind of good thing are you? If you didn't want to be the father-in-law of the emperor, why would you instigate Xue'er? Now you're putting the blame on me. I'm not the one taking the blame."
"You crazy bitch, I'm going to beat you to death today."
Mr. Su Er felt pain and grabbed Mrs. Su Er's hair with his backhand and slammed her against the wall.
Mr. Su was very strong, and after a few hits, a big bump appeared on Mrs. Su's forehead, and her body went limp and fell to the ground.
Mr. Su Er finally came to his senses and was shocked. He quickly carried Mrs. Su Er to the bed and called a doctor.
When Su Qiming heard the news and came back to see his parents like this, he didn't know what to say. They were already so old, and yet they were fighting.
The father and son had no choice but to sit by Mrs. Su's bed and wait for her to wake up.
Su Qiming looked at the disheveled Mr. Su and said, "Father, go back and change your clothes and take care of yourself. I will stay here to take care of you."
"OK."
Mr. Su Er also knew that he was in a mess, so he turned around and left Mrs. Su Er's bedroom.
Not long after Mr. Su Er left, Mrs. Su Er woke up slowly. When she saw her son, she hugged Su Qiming and began to feel pain again.
"Ming'er, your sister..."
Su Qiming comforted her: "Mom, no matter how sad you are, your sister will not survive. You have to take good care of yourself. Don't you still have a son? In the future, your son will be filial to you and give you more grandchildren.
In the future, your son will earn you an imperial title, so that you can leave with dignity."
Su Qiming knew that the lack of offspring in the second house was a pain for Mrs. Su Er, and it was also a matter of face, so he promised her to make her feel better.
