Not to mention that they have great power in the government and even command a large number of troops, the power of the Ding family army cannot be underestimated even after more than ten years.
It is even because of their reputation that foreign enemies dare not invade.
As for the Ding family army, they would certainly only listen to Xie Pei, the only blood descendant of the Ding family.
This is even one of the reasons why Xie Pei got started.
Su Wan only managed to see one tenth of what Xie Pei was capable of.
Although Xie Pei had put more things at her disposal, she didn't want to pry into it.
But it has nothing to do with the poor little thing, right?
At that time, I had just arrived in this time and space, so my mind was not very clear, right?
When the funeral procession reached the last kilometer, Xie Pei tried to pull Su Wan out of the car again, but Su Wan refused and pushed him out instead.
Fortunately, in full view of everyone, Xie Pei got out of the car and steadied himself. Xie Pei had no choice but to look at the car before he straightened his clothes and went to see the saint off for the last time.
The carriages followed the team and slowly entered through the main gate.
Su Wan then realized something was wrong. Only Xie Pei's carriage went through the main gate of the East Suburb Sacrifice Palace, while the others could only go through the side door.
Although Xie Pei was not in the carriage, the carriage and horses represented his dignity and respectability. As the crown prince and the emperor who would ascend the throne after the new year, he must go through the main gate.
Su Wan suddenly felt a little bit caught in a dilemma. It would be bad to get off the car now.
Isn't it convenient to sit down when entering?
I don’t even dare to open the curtain!
Xie Pei must know!
No wonder he didn't say a word!
Su Wan gritted her teeth and sat in the carriage, waiting only to sneak down when the carriage arrived.
Fortunately, she knew a lot of people in the palace, and she knew many officials in the funeral procession, so they could find any excuse to explain why she was there.
Just as the carriage had stopped, Su Wan slipped out from the side. As soon as she raised her head, she was seen by a little girl who also got off the carriage.
Although Su Wan had only seen this little girl once, she was only seven or eight years old and was the fourth princess of Tianxiang Kingdom.
The fourth princess was a little surprised, but soon smiled sweetly, and then politely asked Su Wan: "Are you the one who organized the carriage for my brother?"
this?
He actually found a reason for her?
But after all, he was young, and his tone was too polite, which made him seem deliberate.
Su Wan naturally accepted the favor and knelt slightly: "Princess, yes."
The fourth princess was hugged by the third princess who came down from behind, and she looked at Su Wan warily.
The royal princes and princesses are ranked separately and have no connection with each other.
The third princess was also called Princess An. She was obviously more wary of others than the fourth princess. Even the princesses around the prince were afraid of her.
This shows their situation in the palace.
Su Wan didn't say much, just bowed briefly and left.
But when she left, she clearly felt that the Fourth Princess was looking at her.
Never mind her. To put it bluntly, her identity will be exposed sooner or later. It was okay when she was in the outer palace before, but Xie Pei was still worried that the Saint Concubine Jiang and others would cause trouble for her.
Now there is nothing to worry about. If she can follow the funeral procession and ride in the carriage through the main gate, there is nothing she can't do.
There was no one even on the prince's carriage? Wasn't he just waiting for her to sneak away?
It was just unfortunate that he was seen by the Fourth Princess. It was only a matter of time.
Su Wan is not afraid.
She felt relieved after comforting herself, but Xie Pei's actions made her cook a meal herself at noon that day.
In this cold winter, is there anything more comfortable than eating spicy lamb or spicy hot pot?
No, it’s a mourning period now, so it’s okay to eat an egg, but forget about eating meat.
At least we have to wait until the saint is buried. What a pity.
Since spicy lamb and spicy hotpot can’t be made, other things should be possible.
It is winter now, so it would be a good idea to make a spicy, crispy and appetizing dish of winter bamboo shoots.
When Su Wan returned to the Shangshi team, she started preparing this dish.
Only the pointed ends of the winter bamboo shoots are needed. Lightly tap them with the back of a knife, then cut them into dice. Blanch them in water to remove the earthy smell and hang them aside.
Wash the Hunan-specific chili peppers, cut them into small circles, prepare the onions, ginger, garlic, and seasonings, and drain the water from the blanched winter bamboo shoots.
Then fry the tips of the winter bamboo shoots and then stir-fry them. Finally add the chili peppers, onions, ginger and garlic. After the winter bamboo shoots are stir-fried, add some fresh soup and simmer. Add soy sauce and other seasonings when it is almost time to serve.
The ratio of winter bamboo shoots to chili peppers is about two to one. It looks good with rice, and everything else is good except that it is too spicy.
Anyway, when it was placed on Xie Pei's table, Xie Pei felt his teeth aching just by looking at it. It must be spicy.
Xie Pei really couldn't eat spicy food, but if Su Wan made it, he would definitely finish it, so much so that when he was arranging the saint's coffin in the afternoon, he looked tearful.
Next is two days of keeping the body from exhumation, and the official burial will take place on December 15th. There is nothing much to say about it, as it is also the fifth step of the funeral - burial.
However, these five steps are actually quite simple, and there are still many etiquettes that cannot be wrong.
Even the envoys from all over the world who came to express their condolences have not arrived yet. The journey is too long, and they will not arrive until after the New Year.
Now the emphasis is on burial. For burial, not only the coffin is important, but the burial objects are also particularly precious. However, due to fear of tomb robbers, the burial objects are placed very low-key.
First the Crown Prince took the first piece and put it down, then the eldest prince, then the two unmarried princesses, Imperial Concubine Jiang, and several beauties.
Everyone is just doing it for the sake of showing it, there is no need to really do it.
The rest were left to the eunuchs who were guarding the coffin. These eunuchs were all the saint's confidants. Since the saint was no longer around, they naturally had to keep watch here.
Everything a person needs, including food, clothing, and daily necessities, swords, spears, and various precious jades, were buried in the tomb.
The saints have made clear arrangements for what will happen after their death.
There are three layers of coffins outside the coffin, which are used to protect the coffin.
Because it was the last time of luxury, Xie Pei and the ministers who followed him didn't care, because it was the saint's own private money. Only the Ministry of Revenue was so poor that they grimaced when they saw the things and could only say in their hearts, "This is the last time, the last time."
With the burial, the posthumous title was naturally announced.
For example, Xie Pei’s grandfather was from the Tianyuan Sect. It sounds like a sect that cultivates immortals, but in fact, it is the Tianxiang Guoyuan Sect.
The word "Yuan" is very good. "Yuan" means to praise and prove his contributions during his lifetime.
Other good posthumous titles include Wenzong, Jingzong, etc.
Since there are good posthumous titles, there are also bad ones. For example, "Ling" means "chaotic but not harmful", and that's Lingzong. The actual meaning is to scold a foolish and incompetent ruler.
As for the saint, he chose for himself "Shining on All Directions and Bringing Brightness", which also has a good meaning, but how can one choose for oneself?
He had hinted to many people, but unfortunately, Xie Pei was the one who made the decision now.
Xie Pei asked the Ministry of Rites to discuss with the Imperial Observatory, and finally decided on the word "Huai", which means "Huai" after the short death of Ci Ren.
It's neither good nor bad, it's just an expression of sympathy.
Xie Pei found it funny. Is this a case of being too kind and short-lived?
But think about it, he didn't make any big mistakes when he was in office, at least not on the surface, and he used to be a Buddhist, so it's okay to give him the word Huai.
Xie Pei raised his hand, and then it was easier to do the job.
After reading the long eulogy, which basically wrote about Tian Huaizong's life, it seemed that he had no merits or faults, but learning is like rowing against the current, and so is the country.
Therefore, the sacrificial text inevitably carries some emotion, so that future generations can judge it.
The burial took place on the night of December 15th. The Crown Prince and all the civil and military officials stayed in the imperial mausoleum for three more days. During that time, Imperial Concubine Jiang and others cried so much that they almost fainted.
The eldest prince no longer had the contempt he had before, as if he had finally realized that the world had changed, everything had changed.
But between guarding the imperial mausoleum and returning to Kyoto, he still chose to return to Kyoto. The imperial mausoleum was too desolate, and a living person could become a living dead here.
No one knew what Concubine Jiang was thinking. After she and the eldest prince returned, they had to continue to be under house arrest. After all, the matter was not over yet. If Xie Pei pressed them harder, he could easily say that they were still the murderers of Emperor Huaizong.
Anyway, they can't turn over.
Early in the morning of December 18th, we returned to Kyoto.
It is now deep winter and traffic on the road is slow, but everyone is in a very good mood.
I always feel like I've let go of a big thing.
The reign of Emperor Huaizong also came to an end in the 15th year of Tianze.
Huai Zong passed away very quickly. If you count carefully, it has only been more than a month since the incident.
But the situation in Tianxiang Kingdom has undergone earth-shaking changes.
When Xie Pei returned to Kyoto, more people realized this fact.
There are about ten days left until the Chinese New Year, and many people are still waiting and watching. One question is whether there should be an imperial examination after the New Year. Generally, an additional examination will be held when a new emperor ascends the throne.
But Xie Pei has not yet ascended the throne, and now he is the crown prince.
In this case, the issue of when the crown prince will ascend the throne should be put on the agenda immediately.
When the crown prince ascends the throne next year, the reign title will definitely be changed.
The Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Rites were extremely busy. They have been extremely busy in the past year or so.
First the crown prince was appointed, and then many other things happened, but none was as important as ascending the throne and changing the reign title.
Fortunately, the prince has been in a good mood recently. He just said that it would not be too late to do it after the New Year. Anyway, he is not in a hurry.
This reminded many people of the time when Huaizong first ascended the throne, when he was so impatient.
Yes, Huaizong ascended the throne by finding an opportunity, but this one doesn't need to find an opportunity, as the situation in the world is already under his control.
Su Wan has been hearing this news ever since she returned to the Outer Palace as the Chief Chef, and her ears are almost callused.
At this time, Xie Pei and her bodyguard Xiao Song came over to hand her a letter, asking her if she was free during the New Year. This year, Bi Guang Mountain was more lively than in previous years, so whether she wanted to go skiing.
It was skiing again, but Su Wan directly refused and said she would not go this year. She wanted to go home and accompany her aunt.
She also had to appease the Su family. She had done a lot of things recently, and even the most dull-witted person would notice the difference.
Especially Mr. Su, who has been asking her openly and secretly whether she has been promoted.
Although she doesn't have deep feelings for that family, she has to go back for her aunt. After all, she is the Su family's aunt and she can't move out now.
Maintaining the status quo is best. If that doesn't work, then look for other options.
This year during the Chinese New Year, Su Wan could go back home for three days openly, and no one had any objections.
If it weren't for the death of the saint, she should have been promoted years ago, but after Huaizong's death, many things were delayed.
On the night of December 29th, Su Wan packed her luggage and returned to the Su family. Xie Pei's carriage was still waiting at the door. Fortunately, this carriage was low-key and few people knew it, otherwise the guards at the Dong'anli Gate would be trembling with fear.
Su Wan got on the carriage and saw that Xie Pei still had the memorial in his hand. She said, "Will you be back on the fourth day of the New Year? I'll pick you up then."
Su Wan pointed at what he was holding and said, "You should take care of these first."
"Then it's still possible to find some time to go out." Xie Pei said, "Really not going skiing? Then on the sixth day of the New Year, ski in the morning and watch snow football in the afternoon."
Su Wan still shook her head: "Forget it, there must be a lot of people in Bi Guang Mountain."
Last time, they were all members of the Ding family.
No, she didn't know the situation last year and walked in by mistake. If she had known that they were all Xie Pei's people and Ding's army, she would not have played around.
Xie Pei had no choice but to nod: "Okay."
When the carriage arrived at the door of the Su family, Xie Pei pulled Su Wan again. Everyone thought he was going to say something, but he just smiled, took out a rosewood box from his arms, and stuffed it directly into her hand.
"New Year's gift."
Su Wan looked at the box, then at Xie Pei, and put it aside. But when she carried the things into the Su family's house, the wooden box was still among the pile of objects.
Is this what you do when you practice martial arts?
But soon, Su Wan's attention was diverted by the Su family.
It's mainly Master Su. Master Su is looking at Su Wan with a very strange expression. It can be said that it is three parts enthusiasm, three parts timidity, three parts disbelief, and some indescribable jealousy.
Mr. Su was strange before, but overall he was respectful to Su Wan.
Now there is respect, but also jealousy and joy.
She was happy because she knew that the Su family might be able to produce a female official, but she was jealous because Su Wan was doing so well in the palace.
If it weren't for the fact that the owner of Qingfenglou had a wide network of contacts, he wouldn't have known that his daughter actually helped run a famous dessert shop in Kyoto.
The sweet shop made a profit of over a thousand taels a day, and many fruit snacks had to be purchased in long lines.
He even went to a dessert shop and learned how to make egg tarts, which tasted pretty good.
Mr. Su was happy about this matter, but when he learned from his boss that his daughter was still working in the dessert department, although he didn't know what she was doing specifically, she was obviously very familiar with the department.
In this situation, she didn't even say hello? And she asked me to learn from her in the crowd?
When the boss of Qingfeng Tower told him about this matter, he didn't know where to put his face.
After Su Wan heard her aunt tell Jing Ju about this matter, she already had a rough idea in her mind.
Su Wan asked her aunt, "He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
"No, he is still afraid of you. After all, he can continue to work in Qingfeng Tower thanks to you." said the aunt.
This is indeed true.
The baking soda has never been out of stock, which has ensured that the snacks at Qingfeng Tower have always been very stable and brought it a lot of good reputation.
But this is a hidden danger after all. Jealousy will give rise to resentment, which will lead to a series of irrational actions.
Think about what you might face in the future. Today, I just know that she has a good relationship with the dessert shop, and I feel jealous. What about the future?
Moreover, Su Wan has already made up her mind. As long as she is in the Su family, her aunt will not be able to stay in the Su family for long.
Mainly because when the aunt went to make her a midnight snack, Jing Ju whispered, "Recently, our mistress and the second aunt have been making a lot of money."
"Now that the mistress's only daughter is married, things are free. On the contrary, the second aunt is very busy arranging the marriages for her son and daughter."
"The two parties started arguing. Second Aunt wants to arrange two marriages, so she is a little short of money. It seems that she wants to ask Third Aunt for money."
The third concubine is concubine Su Wan.
As for the Su family's main wife and the second concubine, this is not the first or second time they have fought.
The opportunity for her to enter the palace was not because of the conflict between these two, but because her aunt and her original body were sent to the palace.
So it is impossible to expect Su Wan to feel good about them.
The reason for not retaliating was because of the copper coins given to her by the third daughter of the Su family before she entered the palace.
But this incident also served as a wake-up call for Su Wan.
Now these two marriages have not been concluded yet. If it is like this, then everyone will have more free time. Second Aunt will have a daughter-in-law, so won't she be able to suppress Su's wife even more? After all, it is always better to have more people. Her son is the only male in the Su family. Given Master Su's character, he will definitely be biased.
Everything indicates one thing, that is, the Su family is a place of trouble, and it is best to stay away from it as soon as possible.
It's troublesome to stay away.
My aunt is a concubine, so it is not difficult for her to sever ties with the Su family.
But she is a daughter, and everyone feels that she has the blood of the Su family and they will be inseparable for the rest of their lives.
I have to think of a way to leave in a reasonable way, preferably before I become a female official.
Otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Su Wan said after a while: "Jing Ju, do you want to work with my aunt, or do you want to stay in the Su family?"
"Of course I'll follow my aunt!" Jing Ju said immediately.
There is no need to explain the reason. Among these masters, Aunt Su Wan has the best temper and helps her make money. If she follows the Su family, her life will be dark and gloomy.
"Then do me a favor. If you do it well, you can be free again or stay with my aunt." Su Wan whispered softly, but with full temptation, "Just do it."
When Su Wan went to find the aunt in the kitchen, the aunt said, "You should take a rest. You must be very tired in the palace. I heard that the saint passed away. I was very worried and I was afraid that it would implicate you."
Su Wan smiled: "I'm just a little palace maid, there's nothing to get involved with."
As he said this, he helped his aunt serve the dishes and rice.
After they put the food on the table, Jing Ju also came back and nodded quietly to Su Wan, obviously having done what she was asked to do.
What Su Wan asked Jing Ju to do was very simple, which was to secretly "gossip" with the gatekeeper, telling him how luxurious the things that Fourth Miss Su Wan brought back were, how highly valued she was in the palace, and that maybe she could become a female official in the future.
However, there are many requirements for being a female official, and I expect that they will come to your home to inquire about the situation. This is a necessary procedure.
The family's evaluation may very likely affect whether the fourth girl Su Wan can become a female official.
Once this news gets out, those who are interested will naturally find a way.
Su Wan just needs to wait for the fish to take the bait.
Jing Ju also sat down at the dinner table. She usually took good care of her aunt and kept the secret of the fried food shop. She was also accompanying her aunt, so naturally there was nothing wrong.
Jing Ju actually felt a little guilty. She did keep the secret because she also received monthly allowance from the fried goods shop. If other members of the Su family knew that the fried goods shop belonged to the Third Aunt, they would definitely find ways to make demands and would definitely not give her monthly allowance. Even if they did, it would not be too much, because she was a purchased slave.
Speaking of the Su family's situation, there was also a maid and a doorman.
Because the Su family was powerful before but has fallen, they have some wealth. Also, because the imperial palace is extravagant and has tens of thousands of palace maids, the ministers follow suit and also like to have beautiful wives, maids, and groups of slaves.
The people in Kyoto also followed the same path.
Basically, anything that seems abnormal can be traced back to its cause.
Su Wan and her friends happily had a snack in the side courtyard. The food they cooked smelled so delicious that you could tell it was made of delicious fish and meat.
How could the food Xie Pei brought from Bi Guangshan be bad?
There are even big fish caught in winter, the meat of which is particularly tender.
The food in the side courtyard smells even better than that in the main courtyard.
It’s not that the Third Aunt was not cautious, but her daughter had finally come back, and even if she knew that this would offend people, she still wanted her daughter to eat better. At most, she would just be scolded a few times, which was no big deal.
I originally thought that the food in the main courtyard was pretty good during the Chinese New Year, but after smelling the taste over there, the difference is too big.
The eldest son of the Su family actually said, "I'll just go over and get some food. They can't finish it anyway."
"Sit down." Master Su said immediately, "Have you forgotten what I told you?"
The eldest son of the Su family grumbled, "Isn't it just giving her something? She is so powerful, why doesn't she give us more? She also wants us to limit the quantity."
"Look at how she is well-dressed and well-fed, yet she doesn't even know how to help her family."
The third daughter of the Su family, the second aunt's biological daughter, said, "But that was earned by Xiao Si."
"Are you stupid? If you enter the palace, won't you be able to be like her?" The eldest son of the Su family said again, "Why isn't my own sister that powerful?"
The two were about to quarrel, and the second aunt looked at her son, as if she had grasped some important information.
After dinner, the eldest son of the Su family was pulled into the room by his biological mother and questioned for a long time.
That's when I asked about baking soda.
Mr. Su and the eldest son of the Su family are both in Qingfeng Tower. Not only do many people in the restaurant seem to know something about it, but his son knows it even better.
After all, I have been working there for many years, so I know what everyone is doing every day.
According to the eldest son of the Su family, "The fourth girl seems to have taken some special seasoning from the palace. After adding it to the flour, the snacks are especially delicious. But she can't take too much every month."
"But I heard that she is very powerful in the palace. In my opinion, she can take more."
Not to mention that the second concubine of the Su family was asking about it, Su's main wife was also asking about the details of the matter for Master Su.
In fact, the Su family all knew something vaguely. They originally thought that Su Wan gave them a recipe, but now they know that it is not a recipe at all, but a secret ingredient!
It must be the palace’s secret recipe!
Su Zheng’s wife’s first thought was that since Su Wan was so capable, she should give her more.
Then Mr. Su can make more snacks at Qingfeng Tower and earn more money, and their family will be richer.
Now that Jing Ju is following the third concubine, she has tolerated it. Can't she buy a maid for her, the legal wife?
But the second aunt of the Su family thought more.
She looked at the betrothal gifts she had prepared for her son and the dowry she had prepared for her daughter, and always felt that it was not enough.
Although the saint is dead, they can still get married as usual in March. Her son's wedding will be in April and her daughter's wedding will be in June, so nothing will be delayed.
If there is anything wrong, it is that the stuff is not rich enough.
It would be best if we could get some from Su Wan.
But Su Wan looks different now, and I can’t just ask for it directly. She will definitely not give it to me.
The idea of asking for money was not new, but the situation was different this time. Su Wan also fell into her hands. If she wanted a good future, she had to buy it with money.
Everyone in the family had their own thoughts, and Su Wan pretended not to notice.
If it were the third aunt in the past, she would definitely not have noticed it, but she had been in business for a year or two, had met many people, and had come into contact with many things. Naturally, she felt something when they were having New Year’s Eve dinner in the main house on New Year’s Eve.
But the third aunt just wanted to keep the peace and wait for her daughter to return to the palace. No one would dare to hurt her if she returned.
Mr. Su looked at his first wife and second concubine Su and felt a headache.
Ever since Su Wan came back yesterday, the smell of food wafted through the yard, and they became more active.
It should be said that it has been active for a long time, it's just more obvious this time.
But the two people have different demands. Su's wife wants Su Wan to bring out more baking soda, but Su's second aunt's idea is to bring more baking soda and then open her own shop.
Anyway, they still have a restaurant, so the worst that can happen is they can take it back and stop renting it out.
As long as you have enough baking soda, you can open your own shop, which is definitely better than working for others.
Besides, that is the ancestral property of the Su family. Don’t you want it back, Master Su? Don’t you want to reopen it?
They can even use Su Wan's reputation at Shangshisi, so there will definitely be many customers coming to Shangshisi.
Second Aunt Su talked to Master Su for nearly three hours at noon and in the afternoon on New Year's Eve.
But I have to say, if it hadn’t touched Mr. Su’s heart, he wouldn’t have listened to such details.
Master Su also felt that if Su Wan was really that powerful, she would definitely be able to get more baking soda. No matter how she tried, she could make this thing. Although there were some risks in taking things from the palace, who could blame her for being so powerful?
The boss of Qingfeng Tower was secretly inquiring about this, and even asked whether Su Wan was going to be a female official.
With such a powerful identity, how could he not get more baking soda? Anyway, Master Su didn't believe it.
These thoughts flashed through my mind before, but now I was moved by what Aunt Su said.
It would be great to reopen the store.
Jing Ju whispered something in Su Wan's ear again, and only Su Wan heard it.
The gist of it was that she was sure it would be best for her to open a restaurant of her own. Anyway, she mentioned a few words about the Su family also having a store, and they would definitely remember it.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have this expression at the dinner table.
Su Wan smiled. The interaction between the two of them helped Su's wife to break the deadlock: "What are you two talking about so happily? Why don't you tell me what you are talking about?"
Su Wan said, "Jing Ju said that the material I wore before was good, and asked me if I could give it to her as a reward. Of course I can give her a small reward like this."
After that, Su Wan smiled and said to Jing Ju, "Take the cloth and send it to Zhao's shop in Dashiyongfang. Tell him my name and ask him to make clothes for you. The money for the tailoring will be charged to my account."
"But his family is also in a tight spot, so I guess he can only wear summer clothes."
Jing Ju hurriedly said in surprise: "Summer shirts are also OK. The material is suitable. Is Zhao's shop the famous one?"
"She's the only one in Dashiyongfang."
Watching Su Wan and Jing Ju chatting and laughing while giving each other a valuable summer shirt, they had to queue up to make it. That was the craftsmanship of the Zhao family shop!
It can also be sent to Su Wan’s account, which means she goes there often?
Now look at what she is wearing and what her aunt is wearing. It looks low-key, but if you look closely you can see that it is a sheepskin coat with a satin feel.
There is also the Ruyi hairpin on Su Wan's head, and the beads hanging down from the end are really beautiful.
At first glance, I thought she was a young lady from a wealthy family.
Just now everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts and had no time to look around. Now they heard them talking about beautiful materials, and then they looked at what Su Wan was wearing, on her head, and on her feet. Are those little boots also inlaid with beads?
Su's wife and Su's second concubine could no longer eat the New Year's Eve dinner and felt very upset.
On the contrary, Master Su's eyes lit up.
Good thing!
Su Wan is so capable, she can definitely help him buy his own store again? As long as Xiao Baking Soda gives enough, his family will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the Kyoto pastry shop.
Nowadays, snack shops in Kyoto are selling this snack in various varieties, and Kyoto people also love to eat it, so it will surely sell well.
When Su Wan was unknown before, she was able to "take" baking soda from the palace. She can definitely do it now, and she can even get more.
As for danger, what danger could she be in?
After the New Year's Eve dinner, no one except Su Wan enjoyed it.
When they all went back, seeing that Su's wife and second concubine Su were going to have a small meeting together, third concubine Su was naturally very worried.
But Su Wan smiled and went back to the room with the Third Aunt, whispering, "The fish has been hooked, let's wait and collect the net."
But before closing the net, there is something I want to discuss with Third Aunt.
The third aunt's attitude also determines how far she will go this time.
When they returned to the small courtyard, Su Wan sent Jing Ju to rest, and then she asked the third aunt solemnly: "Aunt, do you want to leave the Su family?"
The third aunt was stunned: "Leaving the Su family?"
"Well, more than a decade ago, you wanted to leave the Su family, right? But the situation suddenly changed at that time, and you couldn't leave."
"What about now? If you had the chance now, would you be willing to leave?"
