Su Qi stepped forward and asked his father, "Father, what's wrong?"
Su's father took out a thick stack of indentures from his pocket and placed them on the table.
Su Qi picked them up and looked at the contracts of indenture. They were contracts of indenture for everyone in the Su family, including those who had passed away.
"Did the master say anything?" Su Qi asked.
Su's father took out another letter from his pocket. It looked a bit thin, only a few sheets of paper thick.
"This is hush money. Over the years, what we have seen and heard in the Su family cannot be told to outsiders."
“That’s only right.” Su Qi put away the indenture. “Then I’ll go to the government office after I eat and get my slave status removed.”
"Yes. The sooner the better." Father Su looked at the indentures. "When your grandfather and great-grandfather were dying, they always wanted to get these contracts back to pave another path for their descendants. But the master at the time didn't agree. This time, it's because of your sister that we have this opportunity."
“Then…” Su Qi frowned.
No one knows a son better than his father, and Su's father understood what he meant. "That's right, so we can't keep arguing about this little marriage."
"Isn't that unnecessary?" Su Qi looked at Shi Xuan, who had been sitting on a guest chair, sipping tea with his eyes down.
He was quite satisfied with this brother-in-law. Although he wasn't particularly handsome, he was a good person and had some wealth, so his sister wouldn't suffer with him.
Shi Xuan seemed unaware that they were watching him, and took another sip of tea, as if the tea was of the highest quality.
Father Su nodded in agreement. “That’s why I brought these back, and also to retire to my hometown. In a few days, I will take your mother back to Su Family Village to live.”
Su Qi was taken aback. "Father, are you going back to Su Family Village?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Xuan also raised his head.
Su's father asked Shi Xuan with a smile, "What do you think, Shi Xiao?"
Shi Xuan replied, "That's great. My mother-in-law had told me before that she really wanted to farm and raise chickens on the estate and live a rural life."
"Yes, nobody likes to live a life of bowing and scraping and having to read other people's faces. Besides, Shaoqian is a natural at studying, and we can't let his household registration hold him back."
Hearing his father mention his son, Su Qi's eyes grew increasingly resolute. "My son understands."
It's no exaggeration to say that three women make a drama. Besides the aroma of various delicious dishes, the kitchen was also filled with lively laughter.
Mu Run listened with great interest as Madam Gong recounted the secrets of the noble ladies in the capital, even though she didn't know any of them at all.
Mother Su knew even more than Madam Gong, but she never talked about it to anyone else. Today, however, she began to reveal all the secrets.
It also mentions Consort Yu, who is the mother of Prince Sheng.
It turns out that this woman was not the daughter of a powerful nobleman, but rather someone Emperor Wende brought back to the palace during an incognito tour. At that time, she was heavily pregnant, and some say she was carrying twins, but Consort Yu denied this.
Later, when Consort Yu went to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense, she suddenly went into labor on the way. It just so happened that the Yan family's villa was not far away, so she went there to give birth.
After enduring pain for a day and a night, Prince Sheng was born as the morning sun rose.
"You only have one child?" Mu Run asked Su's mother.
Su's mother nodded, "There is indeed only one, which dispels those rumors about twins."
Gong said, "Twins are considered taboo in the imperial palace."
Mu Run thought of herself; she had given birth to more than just twins, she had even given birth to triplets... so what was there to be superstitious about?
"So, sister-in-law, did Consort Yu give birth to one or two children?" There's no smoke without fire.
