Chapter 192 Let’s Divorce
"What Yue'er means..." Prime Minister Su looked at Su Yue. The murderous aura from killing Cuicui had not yet completely faded away, but Su Yue had no intention at all and just looked at him.
"Father, you know, since we returned home, we have been framed and poisoned many times. If it weren't for Yue'er's medical skills,
I’m afraid that the grandparents, uncles and aunts present here will not be able to see us alive. Who in this mansion is so bold? I think my father, who has always had a clear vision, knows it well. "
Su Yue met Prime Minister Su's gaze and spoke with every word that struck her heart.
"Your aunt is pregnant now, and she will give birth soon..." Prime Minister Su's eyes flickered and his tone was hesitant.
But it made Gu's heart skip a beat.
It turned out that her husband knew everything and was just pretending to be stupid. Gu Qin'er had really entrusted her sincerity to the wrong person.
"Su Yan, Prime Minister Su, let's get a divorce." Gu's words shocked Prime Minister Su so much that his eyes widened, full of disbelief.
"What, Qin'er, don't say such angry words, is it because of Aunt Liu? I will kick her out of the house right now, Housekeeper Su..."
Prime Minister Su was panicking. How could he even consider the baby in Aunt Liu's belly at this moment? If they really divorced, wouldn't his current position in the court, which was at its peak, immediately fall to the bottom?
No, this is not possible. He has been planning for many years, working diligently and cautiously, seeking benefits and avoiding harm. How can he let his plans fall through because of a divorce?
"It doesn't matter whether Aunt Liu is here or not. She can no longer threaten me. Even if she gives birth to a son for you, what does it matter? I am now..."
"The third prince has arrived!" Following a loud and clear announcement, a young man in ochre-white uniform appeared at the door. The young man was standing against the light, so his expression could not be seen clearly.
"So the Prime Minister is here too." The familiar voice of Shangguan Nanxing was heard, and everyone hurriedly saluted.
Prime Minister Su lowered his head, his heart beating fast, and he didn't know whether the Third Prince had heard that Gu wanted to divorce.
"Everyone, get up. I'm here this time on the orders of my father to see Mr. Gu." Shangguan Nanxing walked in.
When passing by Su Yue, he deliberately stopped for a moment, and the two smiled at each other.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I, a humble subject, am safe." Old Gu stood up and bowed to Shangguan Nanxing. Shangguan Nanxing hurried forward, helped Old Gu up and indicated that there was no need to be polite.
"Yuer, you will be coming of age in three days. Your father will definitely hold a grand ceremony for you. However, you will have to trouble Madam to take care of many matters in the mansion."
When Prime Minister Su saw Shangguan Nanxing come in and exchange glances with his daughter Su Yue, he immediately thought of Yue'er's coming-of-age ceremony. His wife didn't care about him, but it was impossible for her not to care about her daughter Su Yue.
Sure enough, Gu, whose eyes had been firm just now, softened when she heard that Yue'er's coming-of-age ceremony was approaching.
"It is my duty to take charge of my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony." Gu said. No matter what, her daughter's coming-of-age ceremony was the big deal, and it wouldn't hurt to postpone the divorce for a while.
She naturally knew that her husband mentioned the coming-of-age ceremony just to put the divorce on hold, but she had to go along with his wishes. In Gu's heart, nothing was more important than her daughter Su Yue.
"Mother." Su Yue just heard her mother, Gu, mention divorce. In fact, she agreed in her heart. Now the Gu family is about to make a comeback, and she is the princess.
The fact that she had lost her status as the prime minister's legitimate daughter did not have much impact on her now.
Now, because of her coming of age, her mother had to swallow her previous grievances. Su Yue just felt her nose sour.
"Yuer, you're almost an adult, so don't throw a tantrum." Gu patted Su Yue's hand with a gentle look in her eyes. After all, family disgrace should not be made public, and many things should not be said in front of the Third Prince.
"By the way, Mr. Gu, I came here to tell you that after my father started a thorough investigation into the Gu family's corruption case, there seems to be some progress."
Shangguan Nanxing naturally heard at the door that Gu wanted to divorce, but since he was an outsider after all, it was difficult for him to say anything. Besides, considering Prime Minister Su's kind of person, it was a good thing that Yue'er's mother wanted to divorce.
"Really? May our ancestors bless us, our Gu family will finally be vindicated." When Old Gu heard Shangguan Nanxing's words, he was so excited that his eyes turned red.
When the other members of the Gu family heard the news, they all looked happy.
Only Prime Minister Su had a gleam of determination in his eyes. Since the Gu family was truly wronged, he would never allow them to divorce.
"I wonder who is the one who wronged my Gu family?" Mr. Gu finally calmed down, but he still couldn't help asking.
As soon as Mr. Gu asked this question, the same solemnity flashed in Shangguan Nanxing and Su Yue's eyes.
Of course, they both knew who had wronged the Gu family, but even though they did not express their thoughts to each other, they tacitly agreed not to intervene.
Because of the emperor's thorough investigation this time, the people behind the scenes are involved in extremely high positions. If they intervene in the matter with their current status, it will definitely arouse the emperor's groundless suspicion.
For example, would the emperor suspect that they deliberately framed the Gu family in order to clear them of grievances?
This would backfire. Besides, since the emperor was able to find out who wrongly accused the Gu family in the last life, he would surely be able to do so in this life. It was only a matter of time.
"The truth has not yet been revealed, so please wait for good news. Since you are well, I will go and reply to my father and will not bother you any further."
Shangguan Nanxing said goodbye very politely and left, looking at Su Yue again before leaving.
That affectionate look made Su Yue, who had always been calm, blush.
"This Third Prince is very polite and well-mannered in every move." Old Lady Gu looked at her granddaughter's expression and understood. Thinking of how the Third Prince was extremely polite to her husband just now, she guessed that it was because of Su Yue.
"Madam is absolutely right." Old Gu looked at Shangguan Nanxing's departing back and nodded slightly.
Over here in the imperial study of the palace, the emperor was looking at the memorial submitted after a thorough re-investigation of the Gu family case. There were many doubts on the memorial, and even some of the original ironclad evidence had become unreliable after the passage of time.
"Hmph!" After the emperor finished reading the last memorial, he slammed it shut and slammed it on the table.
So many things are pointing to one person——
The emperor stared ahead. Perhaps the window was not closed tightly, and the candlelight in the room flickered in the slight breeze.
"Eunuch Zhu, please go to Yinfeng Palace."
Finally, the emperor stood up, his eyes filled with deep suspicion.
