Chapter 773 The truth is cruel
The secret guard continued, "Deputy City Lord, Su Zhen and Su Liren had a big argument. It seems they have some disagreement."
Su Nuan nodded, "Have some tea."
The secret guard's eyes lit up, and he picked up the teacup that Su Nuan pushed over and drank it all in one gulp, feeling refreshed.
He put down his teacup and said, "Su Zhen now lives in the palace, and she has many people supporting her."
Su Nuan asked in confusion, "What status does she have to get the ministers to support her? The emperor's descendants are still alive, right?"
The secret guard smiled awkwardly, "Currently, the prince and the emperor's grandson are implicated in the case of poisoning the emperor and have been imprisoned."
"Su Zhen doesn't dare to kill them now, but she won't let them off easily either. At least she won't kill them until their reputation is ruined."
Su Nuan nodded. For a person of a different surname to become emperor would be like changing the dynasty, which would be extremely difficult.
Now that the emperor's niece is back, the emperor must be nervous. After all, apart from his children and grandchildren, his niece is the only one who has some legal inheritance rights.
I don’t know how Su Zhen felt when she saw that woman come back, as long as she could make things difficult for her.
As he was speaking, Su Liren came out wearing clean clothes, and his face was also very clean.
Su Nuan looked at him in a daze. In her memory, this man was also clean and tidy when she was a child. He played with her and even lifted her above his head...
At that time...she must have been happy...
The secret guard looked at Su Liren and asked, "Do we need to clean up these corpses?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Clean it up, it's an eyesore."
The secret guard immediately called another person, and the two of them quickly took the body away.
Su Nuan was silent for a moment and said, "Come and sit down, have a cup of tea."
Su Liren walked over and sat opposite Su Nuan. His eyes fell on Su Nuan's face, staring at her greedily, as if it was the last time.
Su Nuan felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, so she poured a cup of tea and pushed it over to him, "Have some tea."
Su Liren had a very gentle smile on his face, which was completely different from his previous aggressive look.
He took a sip of tea and squinted his eyes comfortably, his gaze a little vague, as if he was missing something.
Su Nuan didn't know where she got the patience from, and she didn't even urge him.
After a cup of tea, Su Liren asked, "Are you really eager to know the truth?"
Su Nuan replied indifferently: "The truth is meaningless to me, so what does it matter whether I know it or not?"
Su Liren nodded and said, "That's right. You have your own life now. As long as there are no major accidents, your life will be stable."
After a pause, he continued, "I advise you to leave the capital, don't go to Jiangnan, and take root in the north."
Su Nuan frowned. Could it be that Su Liren was persuading me to leave so that Su Zhen could become the emperor?
Thinking of this, she felt furious and her expression turned cold. "Are you doing this for Su Zhen? Are you afraid that I'll get in her way?"
Su Liren's eyes showed disdain. "Who cares whether she lives or dies? I told you she is not my daughter."
This reminded Su Nuan, and she asked with some interest: "You said she is not your daughter, then what about the concubine?"
Su Liren sighed, "Do you believe in love?"
Su Nuan shook her head, "I don't quite believe it."
Su Liren's eyes flashed with admiration, "That's good that you don't believe it. When Zhao Jingcheng asked to marry you, I knew he wasn't sincere."
Su Nuan took a deep breath and quickly made a list of questions for herself, listing all the questions she had over the years.
She slowly asked, "Can I ask?"
Su Liren nodded and smiled, "Ask, you don't have to doubt my answer this time."
In the solemn atmosphere, the space spirit roared, "I will help you detect his brain waves. If he lies, I will kill him."
The sadness that had just emerged in Su Nuan's heart was instantly dispelled by the words of the Space Spirit.
She quickly comforted her in her heart, "No need, I can tell if he is lying."
"And I can tell if he's lying about these issues."
The space spirit whirred and said, "Okay, you ask your questions, and I play mine. I can't kill him."
After being scolded by her, Su Nuan felt calmer and less impetuous.
She looked at Su Liren and asked, "Are you... my biological father?"
Su Liren smiled again, "Yes, you are my pride."
Su Nuan was not surprised. She asked again, "Why did you team up with Su Zhen and the others to snatch my fiancé?"
Su Liren was silent for a moment and then said, "This is a bit long to say."
Su Nuan poured him another cup of tea and said, "Then take your time. We have plenty of time now."
Su Liren held the teacup in both hands, exuding the aura of a loving father, but his stomach growled, making him feel a little embarrassed.
Su Nuan sighed. She took out some snacks and placed them on the table. "Eat some. I made them."
Su Liren's eyes lit up, he picked up some snacks and started eating, he ate so fast that he choked and burped.
Su Nuan frowned, "Eat slowly, I'm not trying to steal it from you."
Su Liren drank his tea and said with a smile, "I'm just worried that you'll get anxious waiting."
"The dim sum you make is the best I've ever had. Your mother can't make dim sum..."
He suddenly stopped talking and changed the subject when he spoke again.
"This story starts with your mother's illness."
"She was attracted by my looks at first, so she recruited me to be her consort. I was very happy because I really liked her."
"But after she gave birth to you, she became depressed. I asked around and found out that she had fallen in love with a young man."
"I remember his name was Nangong Qi. He was the legitimate son of the richest man in Jiangnan, and he was incredibly handsome."
"At first I thought Nangong Qi wouldn't be interested in a woman who was married and had children, but they were secretly dating."
"Then she became ill. I sought help from many doctors, including the imperial physician from the palace, but she never got better."
"At that time, I was still in the dark and really thought she had some strange disease.
"until……"
Hatred appeared in Su Liren's eyes, and he gripped the teacup tightly!
Su Nuan coughed lightly and said, "Be careful, if the teacup breaks, you'll be the one hurt."
Su Liren came back to his senses and laughed at himself, "Well, your mother let Cao Qinghua, your personal maid, climb into my bed, and then kept her outside."
"A year later, your mother passed away. Then Cao Qinghua came to me holding Su Zhen and said she was my child."
"My mind was very confused at the time. When I regained consciousness, Cao Qinghua had already become my second wife. She married into my family as my cousin."
"I felt I had betrayed your mother without a clue, so I dug up her grave and tried to kill myself next to her."
When Su Liren said this, he laughed wildly with grief and indignation. He laughed for a long time and stopped only when tears were streaming down his face.
He choked up and looked at Su Nuan and asked, "Guess what I saw?"
Su Nuan was a little panicked. The answer was already written on the paper, but she couldn't believe it.
Sure enough, the truth is cruel. Not only Su Liren couldn't accept it, but Su Nuan couldn't accept it either.
