Su Wenyuan seemed to have all her strength drained away, and she was only able to stand up with Ye Shan's support.
"Change the dressing! Speed things up," Su Wenyuan said hoarsely, her voice choked with emotion.
After another bowl of medicine was poured down her throat, Wang collapsed, losing consciousness.
The guards smashed her legs as if they were chopping minced meat, as if they wanted to turn her legs into a pulp.
If Wang hadn't fainted, she would be dying of pain right now.
Su Wenyuan was keeping her promise; she said she would make things easier for her today, but she would not have an easy time tomorrow, the day after, or any day after that.
Before leaving, he specially asked Hua Ling for a few doses of medicine, just in case Wang Shi couldn't hold on and died.
Unexpectedly, Hua Ling had a lot of good stuff. What she just gave Wang Shi was a temporary pain reliever, but once the effects wore off, the pain would double and it could even prolong her life.
It's a good product, but it depends on how you use it.
It can be used on people who want to live, or it can be used to intensify Wang's suffering.
"Your Highness, you definitely can't escape this time!" a guard reported.
Su Wenyuan didn't speak, her mind replaying Yu Qingzhu's words and every move she made.
Every word Yu Qingzhu uttered and every glance she gave spoke of her love for Su Wenyuan.
She simply loved her daughter and didn't expect Su Wenyuan to do anything for her.
Seeing that Su Wenyuan's condition was not good, Sheng Jingyu was anxious to return to the Prince Chen's residence. He stood up and said, "It is forbidden to find a doctor for her, nor can she be given any medicine. If she is cured, I will have to come back, which is really troublesome."
“Prime Minister Su, she is being held in the Prime Minister’s residence. She cannot escape, but she cannot be allowed to die either. She has committed numerous evils, and there are still many things that have not been investigated. If she dies under your protection, I will only suspect that you two are in cahoots.”
Sheng Jingyu eliminated the possibility of Su Yuan killing her to silence her, and also destroyed Wang's wish to die in advance. When she comes to her senses, she will suffer the consequences.
Su Yuan's face was ashen, and he remained silent. Su Wenyuan was quite impressive this time. He wondered what Wang Shi had said to her.
Su Lin'er instructed the servants to carry Wang Shi back, and then she ran back to the mansion herself.
What happened today is so embarrassing. How will she ever face anyone again?
Wang was branded with infamy, and her reputation suffered as a result.
"Princess Consort Chen is too powerful. She crippled her stepmother! There's blood everywhere, isn't anyone going to do anything about it?"
“The Emperor ordered her legs to be broken, who dares to interfere? Besides, this Wang Shi can hardly be considered the stepmother of the Princess Consort of Chen. Over the years, she has never given her a full meal.”
"More than that! Princess Consort Chen is also avenging her mother. The daughter born to Lady Wang is older than Princess Consort Chen! In other words, Prime Minister Su has been keeping a mistress outside the palace for a long time!"
"Didn't everyone say that Prime Minister Su was a rare and devoted lover? He didn't even take a concubine for Yu Qingzhu's sake."
The surrounding chatter grew louder and louder, with no intention of avoiding Su Yuan at all.
Su Yuan's face gradually turned red, and he felt a little ashamed.
Su Wenyuan didn't listen to a single word of the discussion. She stumbled back to the carriage, tears streaming down her face.
In her memory, Yu Qingzhu, who gave all sorts of instructions before his death, didn't cry in the end, probably because he was worried that Su Wenyuan would cry and make a fuss.
Yu Qingzhu risked her life to save Su Wenyuan's life, so why are they still unwilling to let her go?
Su Yuan objected to Wang's poisoning because he had already driven Yu Qingzhu to her death and was afraid of being suspected.
Having one child wouldn't make much difference, which is why Su Wenyuan was kept.
But Su Wenyuan was still harmed, and became somewhat dazed and foolish.
If Yu Qingzhu knew all this, how desperate and helpless she would feel.
Inside the carriage, Sheng Jingyu asked directly, "Did they force your mother to her death?"
"Yes." Su Wenyuan didn't hide anything.
After all this trouble, I just wanted to hear this result with my own ears.
Sheng Jingyu thought for a long time before finally speaking with some difficulty: "You've endured all these years, there will be a chance for revenge. Don't let sadness harm your health."
This kind of thing is hard to comfort, and Sheng Jingyu couldn't possibly tell her not to be sad. The only thing he could say was to remind her to take care of her health.
Su Wenyuan nodded and said, "I know, I just suddenly missed my mother."
She had wondered a long time ago: Yu Qingzhu had wronged parents and family members above her, and a young daughter below her. Why would she commit suicide?
Su Yuan is a beast!
After Su Wenyuan returned to the manor, she sent someone to deliver a message to Su Lin'er.
She was reminded to be careful of Su Yuan, who was always thinking about killing her mother.
With Sheng Jingyu's warning, Su Yuan probably wouldn't dare to take action, but this news could be used to sow discord.
The capital was unusually lively that day. There was chaos at the Prime Minister's residence and the Prince Jin was beaten again. Both things were related to Su Wenyuan.
Everyone knows about the temperament of this Princess Consort Chen; she's even fiercer than Sheng Jingyu was back then.
When the news reached the palace, the emperor felt a sudden darkness engulf him.
When Su Wenyuan said she wanted to break Wang's legs, the Emperor didn't take it seriously and didn't care, since she was a prisoner anyway.
But who told her to cause such a commotion? The blood at the Prime Minister's residence hasn't even dried yet.
Fortunately, the eunuch beside him told him that the people were not averse to this, and even applauded, feeling that Wang had gotten her just desserts.
"His Majesty is discerning and the people are praising him. In my opinion, this is not a bad thing. Wang has done all sorts of bad things. Only by dealing with her severely can others be satisfied," Eunuch Hu began to flatter.
Based on this statement, the Emperor's dissatisfaction with Su Wenyuan lessened considerably, and his anger subsided.
"Her temper is terrible, both to outsiders and to the family! Forget it, I'll just send her some rewards and remind Jingyu to keep a closer eye on her in the future."
The Emperor only wanted Su Wenyuan to help him, not to oppose him.
When Eunuch Hu went to Prince Chen's residence, he did not see Su Wenyuan. Su Wenyuan was crying in the ancestral hall.
It wasn't until nightfall that Sheng Jingyu came and took her back to her room.
For several days in a row, Su Wenyuan was in a bad mood. The only thing that made her feel a little better each day was news from the Prime Minister's residence.
After regaining consciousness, Wang acted as if she were dying, screaming loudly so that the sound could be heard outside the Prime Minister's residence.
Her cries were beyond what a human could make.
She struggled several times to bang her head against the wall, but was stopped by the servants. After her suicide attempt failed, Wang became even more deranged. When Su Lin'er tried to stop her, she was hit by Wang.
Left with no other option, Su Yuan had to have her tied up.
Wang shouted loudly but could not alleviate her pain, so she began to curse Su Wenyuan.
Su Yuan doesn't care about this behavior; she'd rather she curse Su Wenyuan into coming and killing her.
Perhaps Wang thought so too, and her insults became increasingly fierce, using all sorts of vulgar and offensive language.
The guards didn't dare relay the words she uttered; it was Meng Qi who repeated them word for word in front of Su Wenyuan.
Su Wenyuan didn't react, but Sheng Jingyu gritted his teeth.
Ye Shan kicked him suddenly as a reminder.
"Why did you kick me?" Meng Qi asked, feeling wronged.
