Chapter 49: Meeting You Is Also Unlucky
Gu Mingzhu's eyes were complicated, and she couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, maybe it's because of the unstable situation in recent years, and people's hearts have become more unpredictable."
"You don't have to use the secret methods of the inner house, but you must understand them."
You don't have to actively harm others, but when others set up a trap to harm you, you won't be completely powerless to fight back.
Gu Mingzhu's eyes were filled with regret. "In fact, before I married into the Su family, I had already made preparations to fight with your second brother's concubines."
Who knew it would never be used at all.
Su Tan's second brother, just like his father, was determined to have only one wife in his life and never take a concubine.
Thinking of her late husband, Gu Mingzhu felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and changed the subject, "After all, you have all these things. It would be good if everything goes well on this trip."
"If someone stirs up trouble, we won't be helpless."
Su Tan nodded gently and held his second sister-in-law's hand, "Okay."
…
Everything happened just as Mingzhu said. Su Tan successfully avoided the interrogation of the guards and imperial doctors, and entered the palace smoothly with the pile of things.
It's still early for the dinner.
Su Tan went with the ladies of honor to pay their respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress.
The Queen didn't say anything, but just told them not to be restrained. She also said that the Imperial Garden and the Plum Garden were lively, and if they didn't mind the cold weather, they could actually go for a stroll.
Su Tangen stayed beside Gu Mingzhu and went to the plum garden together.
But I never expected to meet two uninvited guests.
"What a coincidence, Sister Su Tan, I actually ran into you here."
Liu Qingyin's gaze fell on Su Tan, hiding the resentment in her eyes very well. She had learned from others that Su Tan, like her, was fortunate enough to enter the palace at the invitation of the Queen Mother.
Liu Qingyin prepared early, fearing that she would be impolite, and she also thought that she must outdo Su Tan today. But now she saw that Su Tan's dress was not outstanding today, and if she looked at the color of his clothes among the crowd, she could find eight people with similar clothes.
In contrast, she stands out from the crowd.
It was beautiful, and Liu Qingyin met several noble ladies who praised her, but she always felt that those people were laughing at her for trying too hard.
Liu Qingyin was feeling depressed and she had to let out this anger before she could sleep peacefully tonight.
"Why are you talking to her? Don't you mind dirtying your mouth?"
The young man standing beside him frowned, looking at Su Tan with a look of deep hostility. He said with disgust, "What bad luck! I actually ran into you here."
"I wonder if Brother Tingchen was blind to marry a selfish person like you. Fortunately, he finally came to his senses and kicked you out."
Originally, after the divorce, Su Tan stayed away from the capital.
Everyone is happy.
Who would have thought that after three years, Su Tan, this shameless bitch, would still have the nerve to come back.
The young man in green had a warning on his face, staring at Su Tan like a venomous snake. "You'd better keep your tail between your legs. If you dare to use your status as Xiaoxiao's biological mother to harass Brother Tingchen, I will never let you go."
Liu Qingyin's lips curled up inadvertently, just symbolically blocking him, "Brother Zhao Yu, don't say that. I don't think Sister Su Tan is that kind of person."
Zhao Yu glanced over and stared at Liu Qingyin with a cold look, "Are you crazy? You are actually talking to Su Tan here."
"Liu Qingyin, if you are so confused and want to betray yourself, then get out of Brother Tingchen's group as soon as possible, so that he won't raise an ungrateful person."
Liu Qingyin's face froze.
What happened to Zhao Yu?
Song Tingchen intended to let her and Zhao Yu spend more time together, with the intention of bringing them together.
Zhao Yu has a good family background and is handsome, so Liu Qingyin doesn't reject him. She showed weakness in front of Su Tan in order to make Zhao Yu feel pity for her, but he ended up scolding her?
Gu Mingzhu frowned and stood in front of Su Tan. "Everyone says that Lord Zhao is a good parent. But now that I see Second Young Master Zhao, I can see that it's all just rumors."
"Zhao Yu, when did the Imperial Garden become a place for you to speak so arrogantly?"
Su Tan looked at Zhao Yu and Liu Qingyin quietly, then suddenly sneered, "Seeing you two, I also feel quite unlucky."
This quarrel immediately attracted the attention of everyone around them towards Su Tan and others.
Some people were admiring the flowers as if nothing had happened, but their ears were quietly perked up.
Zhao Yu ignored Gu Mingzhu who was secretly scolding him for being uneducated, and just stared at Su Tan, "How dare you talk back?"
Su Tan chuckled. Zhao Yu had always disliked her and had complained about her in front of Song Tingchen, almost saying everything he could to sow discord.
In the past, she didn't bother with it because she thought he was young.
Unexpectedly, this caused some people to become even more arrogant.
Su Tan rubbed his wrist and said, "Not only do I dare to talk back, I also dare to fight. Do you want to try?"
"Didn't Song Tingchen tell you that I was the one who caused the wound on his forehead, and I was the one who stabbed him in the heart with the sword?"
Zhao Yu's eyes were suddenly filled with anger.
Su Tan, this bitch!
"Brother Tingchen is a great hero. How dare you lay hands on him? I will teach you a lesson on his behalf today!"
He raised his hand and slapped Su Tan with a cold face.
Who knew that Su Tan picked him up and threw him hard into the snow like a chick.
Zhao Yu was in a mess, his clothes were soaked by the snow in an instant, and he no longer looked like the elegant young man he had been before.
The ladies who were watching the fun couldn't help but twitch their eyebrows.
Fortunately, they did not step forward and step on the Su family because they saw that the Su family was deserted.
Otherwise, they would be the ones left in the snow.
Zhao Yu widened his eyes in shock, unable to imagine that Su Tan, an abandoned woman, could have such great strength.
Liu Qingyin's face suddenly froze, and she felt ashamed.
Zhao Yu couldn't even beat Su Tan, a woman. Is he still a man?
Su Tan's eyes were slightly cold, and he looked down at Zhao Yu and corrected his previous statement, "First, when I met Song Tingchen before, the Song family was deserted. During the holidays, no relatives were willing to come to visit."
"It was only after he climbed into the Duke Dingguo's mansion that those people were willing to take a second look at him."
"Secondly, when I married into the Song family, Song Tingchen's parents were bedridden and couldn't even afford medicine. The entire Song family relied on my dowry to support them."
"Thirdly, if your elder brother Song hadn't had my father's support, do you think he would have been able to reach his current position so quickly?"
Song Tingchen is not a good-for-nothing. He can lead troops and fight.
However, the way of survival in the military camp is no less gentle than that in the court.
It is not uncommon for superiors to steal credit for one's work, embezzle military pay, or use one as a scapegoat.
If Song Tingchen was not the son-in-law of Duke Dingguo, would those people watch him emerge without saying a word?
Su Tan's words were clearly and forcefully heard by the other ladies.
Although no one showed any other expression on their faces, they couldn't help but agree in their hearts.
If not for this, Song Tingchen and Su Tan would not have divorced and been nicknamed ungrateful.
Duke Dingguo's body is still warm, and the entire Song family is bullying his daughter. People are not allowed to interfere in other people's family affairs, so can't they secretly despise Song Tingchen in their hearts?
They said Su Tan had a bad temper.
She is a lady from a noble family and supports the Song family. So what if she has a bad temper?
Even Song Tingchen's good friend dared to be so arrogant to Su Tan, which shows that Song Tingchen never took Su Tan seriously.
Well, even more ungrateful.
"at last--"
Su Tan sneered, and said something shocking, "Even if Song Tingchen doesn't have a woman by his side, it won't be your turn."
