Heh, the Lin family didn't do it, but now there's a Lin Ke who did all those outrageous and unacceptable things. How can the Lin family last long?
If she had known this day would come, she should have strangled Lin Ke the moment he was born.
Madam Lin couldn't afford to collapse now. She took a deep breath and asked, "What does His Majesty intend to do with this wretched child?"
Lin Yu'an glanced at Lu Qingyan and said, "Lord Su, who conspired with Lin Ke, has also been arrested by the Emperor."
Madam Su's eyes were slightly red, but she did not do anything inappropriate.
She gave a bitter smile and murmured, "I knew this day would come. From the moment Yang Xiuzhu walked in, nothing was impossible."
"After these two men were captured, they looked rather strange. The Emperor had the imperial physician examine them, and it turned out they had been poisoned by a Gu curse."
Madam Lin closed her eyes: "Being poisoned? Since it's related to this matter, they probably won't go after our two families. But they did make a mistake, and no matter what the reason, their future careers will probably be difficult to advance. Or perhaps, it's already the end for them."
Su's mother whispered in Lu Qingyan's ear, "No matter what, it's already an immense favor from the Emperor that your father was spared."
Lu Qingyan gripped Su's mother's hand tightly.
Back at the Su residence, only a few days had passed, and the place had changed drastically. The once magnificent front hall and corridors were now in a state of disrepair.
Some of the neatly arranged porcelain and other decorative items were gone, while others were smashed to pieces. Tables and chairs were overturned, and a layer of autumn leaves fell from the sky.
It looked rather desolate because it hadn't been cleaned.
"Yao'er, from now on it will just be the two of us living together."
Su's mother was thinking far ahead; Su's father was definitely not to be relied upon. With Empress Su around, he would certainly not die, but he would inevitably be disliked in the future. Empress Su in the palace would probably have a difficult time in the future.
Yao'er is not engaged yet, so it will not be easy for her to find a marriage partner in the future.
She looked at Lu Qingyan with complicated eyes and said, "It's my fault. You won't be able to marry into a good family in the future."
Lu Qingyan hesitated for a moment, looking at Su's mother's worried expression: "Mother, you don't need to worry about my marriage. Someone will come to marry me."
Mother Su smiled bitterly, "I know Yao'er has a good reputation outside. If it weren't for your father's matter, many people would want to come to our door. But now, who would be willing?"
"Mother, wait here, I'm going to get something."
As Lu Qingyan spoke, she ran into her courtyard, actually taking out the imperial edict from her spatial storage.
"Mother, look," Lu Qingyan said, handing the imperial edict to Su's mother.
Su's mother took it in a daze, and unfolded it to see the words: "Su Xiaoyao", "Lin Yu'an", "wedding date"... She recognized each word individually, but now that they were put together, she couldn't understand them.
"The Emperor—the Emperor has bestowed a marriage upon you?" Mother Su could hardly believe it. She hadn't heard a word about it at all; the secrecy was too good.
"Yao'er, when did this happen?" Su's mother asked anxiously.
Previously, Su Xiaoyao was engaged to Lin Ke, and according to seniority, he should have called Lin Yu'an his second uncle. This imperial decree actually paired the two of them together. What was the emperor thinking?
Lu Qingyan lowered her head: "Mother, yes, it was a month ago."
