Sun Youling went to Suzhou and Hangzhou that day and brought back several women.

Sun Youling nodded, appearing a little cautious, and it was obvious that she was aware of her situation.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I took the initiative to bring a few more people. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and looked at the woman behind Sun Youling.

"Aren't there only a few of them? How can there be too many?"

As he was talking, he also saw the woman he saw at Sun Mansion that day. He didn't expect that she would follow him.

Sun Youling hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, these are just the ones who are willing to come back with me."

"Besides that, there are some who are unwilling to come back with me..."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu blinked and looked at Sun Youling.

“How many did you let go?”

Sun Youling's heart tightened when she heard this and she quickly knelt on the ground.

"I let 30% of the women of the Sun family go. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

? ? ? Thirty percent? The Sun family is not an unknown family. Thirty percent of women in a family must be at least a hundred or so.

Although many people were let go, Sun Youling would not be blamed for this.

Well, he agreed to it, didn't he?

"Get up, since you promised, you won't break your promise."

As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu looked at Dong Xiaowan.

"We meet again? I haven't asked for your name yet."

Dong Xiaowan looked at Li Xiuzhu with a strange expression when she heard this.

"Your Majesty is joking."

"I heard that the prince destroyed the Sun family just for Xiaowan. Why? Haven't you heard of Xiaowan's name?"

??? Li Xiuzhu had a lot of question marks on his forehead.

But he understood it too.

This woman is Sun Qirui's concubine.

...It's over. Now that the woman has entered the house, he can't explain it anymore.

People will no longer believe that he destroyed the Sun family because of Bai Zhan, but will only think that he destroyed the Sun family because of Dong Xiaowan.

He has to take the blame. If he doesn't accept it, it would be a shame for him.

Li Xiuzhu looked at Sun Youling and opened his mouth but still said nothing.

"I won't give you any rooms. Pack your things. We are leaving Jiangzhou today and heading to Heluo."

There are also two sections of the Grand Canal where half of the area has not been excavated.

Within two months, the other two canals must also be cleared.

"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Following Sun Youling's words, others also spoke up.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Seven days later, Li Xiuzhu brought a million troops to Heluo and set up camp.

Heluo is the most critical point of the Grand Canal. Only one-third of the lines on both sides are navigable. It is also the place where trouble had occurred before.

As the camp was set up, a messenger suddenly asked to see him.

Li Xiuzhu was slightly stunned, then summoned the messenger.

"Where's the letter?"

The messenger took out a small bamboo tube from the bamboo tube, and the guard Li Hong poured out the liquid and handed it to Li Xiuzhu.

Huh? Li Xiuzhu was stunned when he saw the message.

Li Xiuzhu didn't expect that the content of the message was from Fu Wenhan, asking him to take time to return to Shangjing City.

At the same time, in the Fu Mansion in Shangjing City, Fu Wenhan looked out the window with an unfocused look.

A soft cough was heard, followed by Chen's voice.

"Master, you have been standing for a long time. Lie down and rest for a while. No matter how big the problem is, it needs to be solved slowly."

Chen never cared about what happened in the court, so she couldn't help Fu Wenhan with any solution.

However, she felt that it should be the battle of Dashengguan. Now the Shangjing City, which was in a tense situation, also received news every day.

Express horses with a speed of 800 miles galloped through Qinglong Street every day, and sometimes as many as three times a day.

Hearing this, Fu Wenhan looked at Chen with a complicated expression. Fortunately, Chen was helping him lift the quilt and did not see Fu Wenhan's gaze.

Fu Wenhan also thought of what he overheard his two daughters talking about the day before.

The two sick sisters in the palace have recovered and have not been sick for many days since they stopped taking the medicine.

On the other side, Fu Yuehua also looked melancholy.

The day before yesterday, her father suddenly came to her to find out some things about Sister Lin and Sister Xue.

As smart as Bingxue is, conflicting thoughts have already arisen in her mind.

There are some things that you cannot think about. Once you think about them, it’s like Pandora’s box is opened and you can’t stop thinking about them.

"Sister, what are you thinking about?"

"I've seen my sister deep in thought here several times in the past two days."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The person speaking was Su Chengcheng. Due to changes in her family, she became less lively and more quiet.

I saw Fu Yuehua daydreaming several times these past two days, so I came over to ask her out of some concern.

After all, this sister helped her a lot when she was in the most difficult time.

Seeing Su Chengcheng, Fu Yuehua suddenly swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

After thinking for a while and hesitating for a while, Fu Yuehua asked hesitantly: "Cheng Cheng, if Aunt Su and your husband have feelings for each other, what will you do?"

Fu Yuehua emphasized again: "I'm talking about if."

When Su Chengcheng heard this, she paused for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.

"When did it happen?"

"Since my sister is asking this, I think you know, right?"

"Actually, I've always had some guesses."

“But I never dared to think about it deeply.”

"..." Fu Yuehua's silence only made Su Chengcheng smile.

Su Chengcheng looked at the sky, gradually losing focus, and began to talk to himself.

"I don't know, I knew how this was going to turn out in the beginning."

"But maybe it's okay now."

"Maybe if she didn't have a husband, she would have followed my father long ago."

"It's okay now, at least I didn't lose her."

"And after getting married, I can better understand women's needs."

It was only then that Fu Yuehua spoke up: "She didn't do it because of need, but because of some accidents."

"Aunt Su encountered bandits when she returned to her hometown last year, and those bandits drugged her."

"It just so happens that my husband discovered the Su family's carriage."

"He thought it was you, so he went to rescue someone and happened to save Aunt Su."

"So you see, it's not their fault."

"Later, something happened in your family, and they got in touch again."

"It's just that you like your husband, and your husband can't forget Aunt Su, so it becomes like this."

Is that so? After hearing Fu Yuehua's words, Su Chengcheng was completely relieved.

It's no one's fault. It's understandable that they didn't tell me about it, and it's also to avoid embarrassment.

Su Chengcheng put it down and looked at Fu Yuehua.

"Sister, I have said everything I need to say. I believe you have your own answer in your heart."

"Okay, I should go now."

Fu Yuehua's heart tightened.

"Come on, where are you going?"

Su Chengcheng said without turning her head: "I miss my mother. I will sleep with her at night."

Oh my god, that’s how it is. She was shocked.

She thought Su Chengcheng's sister was going to run away from home.
