Su Wanti thought about it and felt that the system was right. She suppressed her anger and waited for a few more days.
She didn't expect that instead of waiting for the news that the Earl of Yongning was reinstated, she received the news that her brother was reprimanded by the emperor.
As soon as the system finished reporting to Su Wanti, Su Yue's face turned pale and she pushed the door open in panic. She was so anxious that her voice was incoherent.
"Miss, I heard that the eldest son was reprimanded by the emperor. His memorial of respect was returned unopened by the emperor. The emperor also told the eldest son to read history books carefully, learn from history, and not repeat the mistakes of his predecessors."
Su Wanti didn't know what the emperor was going to do, and her eyes were gloomy.
She frowned slightly, realizing a problem. The system was the fastest at detecting news, but just as the system had passed the news to her, Su Yue, a little maid who lived in the most remote courtyard of the Marquis's mansion, had heard the news.
"Su Yue, don't be anxious. Tell me, who told you this news?"
Su Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said cautiously:
"I went to get some midnight snacks and passed behind the Marquis's study. I heard the eldest son's name, so I secretly eavesdropped under the study window. Then I heard the Marquis talking to the son-in-law about the eldest son. I heard that something had happened to the eldest son, so I didn't continue listening and quickly ran back to tell the young lady."
"They are well-informed." Su Wanti sneered.
Her father and brother had met with misfortune one after another, and she could not wait any longer. She stood up and said coldly, "Su Yue, let's pack up and go back to the Earl's Mansion."
The original owner's brother Su Shaoxuan has been guarding the border, and his father is trapped in another place for investigation and cannot return to Beijing. Now there are only the original owner's mother and the concubine Liu with ulterior motives in the mansion.
Su Wanti went to the farm outside Beijing on the second day after her wedding. Su Ruohua and Xiao Huaihe returned home on the third day.
She only wrote one letter to her mother, in which she told her mother about the situation in the Marquis' Mansion and Su Ruhua.
Now her mother was alone in the house, and she must be confused and worried. She had promised her master to take good care of her family, so she should go back to the Earl's Mansion and comfort her mother.
"But miss, it's night now."
"It's okay, go and prepare the carriage."
Su Yue nodded hurriedly and went downstairs to prepare.
The temperature dropped sharply after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the wind was even more biting late at night. Su Wanti found a cloak with a silver-white background and dark patterns, and was about to put it on when suddenly the window of the inner room opened and a bleak autumn wind swept in.
Along with the autumn wind came a tall and majestic dark figure, it was Emperor Xiao Ping.
He had a handsome face and walked towards Su Wanti with a chill of autumn wind.
"Will you go back to the Earl's Mansion?"
The man's low but slightly warm voice suddenly sounded in Su Wanti's ears.
Su Wanti shuddered, turned around, and met the man's smiling dark eyes.
"Your Majesty!" She was surprised and bowed to salute, but Emperor Xiao Ping grabbed her and held her in his arms.
The cold air of the autumn night lingered at the tip of her nose, and her soft body pressed tightly against the man's coat, which was still cold, and she couldn't help but sneeze.
"It's my fault for being careless. It's cold till late." Emperor Xiao Ping's eyes were so gentle that tears could drip out of them.
He let go of Su Wanti, took off his black coat in a few seconds, threw the coat aside, and then impatiently hugged the woman in his arms.
Emperor Xiao Ping practiced martial arts all year round, and had a strong body, broad shoulders and chest. The high-quality black brocade clothes he wore made him look dignified and majestic.
It’s really different from before, Su Wanti thought secretly.
Facing such a handsome and heroic man, she couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart. When she looked at the man, her eyes were filled with tenderness, which softened her heart.
In the inner room, Su Wanti was only wearing an everyday crescent-white plain jacket with floral patterns, paired with a smoky-colored long skirt, and her face was not made up.
Her little face is as white as jade, her eyes are as gentle as smoke and water, and her whole body is soft, gentle, elegant and graceful, just like the clouds in the sky, and as beautiful as a fairy.
Emperor Xiao Ping felt the warmth and softness of the woman's thin clothes, and recalled her soft, sweet and sticky taste. His Adam's apple moved, and he stroked the back of the woman's head with his big hand, lowered his head and was about to kiss her.
The woman refused and covered his lips with her fair hands.
There were tears in her eyes, as well as confusion and sadness. She shook her head gently, "Your Majesty, no."
Seeing the man stop moving, Su Wanti sighed softly and said, "Your Majesty, I am going back to the Earl's Mansion. I heard about what happened to my father and brother. Now my mother is the only one in the mansion. I am worried about her."
I see.
Emperor Xiao Ping lowered his eyes slightly, took the little hand from his lips in his palm, took it off, and said softly: "Don't worry, Wan'er, you can return to the Earl's Mansion in a few days, and don't waste your time in this Marquis' Mansion anymore."
Su Wanti frowned, "Your Majesty, do you mean that Xiao Huaihe will divorce me in the next few days?"
Emperor Xiao Ping chuckled and said nothing. He placed the woman's soft, boneless hand on his chest, letting her feel his vigorous heartbeat and hot body.
"I said I would resolve this matter, Wan'er, you must trust me. I endured so much hardship and finally sneaked out of the palace to see Wan'er. Shouldn't Wan'er give me some benefits?"
Desire surged in the man's eyes. He pulled Su Wanti and tried to get close to her again. Su Wanti frowned and this time covered her lips with both hands.
The man was puzzled. Su Wanti put down her hand and said softly, "I know I shouldn't ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but now, my father has been impeached and my brother has been scolded by His Majesty. I am terrified. How can I feel at ease..."
Hearing this, Emperor Xiao Ping understood. He pulled Su Wanti to sit on the couch, gently stroked her cheek with his hot palm, and whispered:
