If Su Wenyuan is harmed, Sheng Jingyu can retaliate on the spot, even without considering the Emperor's opinion.
Even though the person opposite him was the crown prince of Qikong Kingdom, Sheng Jingyu didn't care.
But when Su Wenyuan hit her, Sheng Yuanhe not only didn't help her, but also blamed her for being nosy.
When the maid came out, she saw Lu Wanying standing there and quickly whispered, "Miss, aren't you feeling unwell?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuanhe turned around and looked at her. Their eyes met, but Sheng Yuanhe didn't seem to be trying to comfort her. He just looked away uncomfortably.
"Let's go," the maid reminded her again.
Lu Wanying's legs felt heavy; she had been disheartened by Sheng Yuanhe's words and was unable to move at all.
In the end, she was half-pulled and half-dragged away by her maid.
Seeing that Sheng Yuanhe no longer liked Lu Wanying as much as before, Su Yuan started making plans for Su Lin'er again.
What Su Yuan is most worried about right now is Su Lin'er and Su Xian.
These two people caused him trouble to varying degrees; Su Xian was beaten up last night.
Considering Su Wenyuan's previous threats, it was Su Wenyuan who did this.
But what could Su Yuan do? In this chaotic situation, all these trivial matters had to be put aside.
Fortunately, Su Wenyuan didn't hit him too hard, and Su Xian wasn't seriously injured. He would just be in a little pain, but it wouldn't affect his life.
Sure enough, he went out to gamble as soon as he got up!
Of course, Su Yuan didn't know that he had gone gambling, nor did he know that he had stolen all of his savings.
Just as Su Xian lost his money, Sun Gui delivered the news to Prince Chen's residence.
Su Wenyuan exclaimed, "He's so generous now! Before, this amount of money would have lasted him a month!"
Sun Gui replied, "As long as he has money in his hands, he will definitely be generous."
Su Wenyuan smiled and said, "It's better to be generous."
Every extra day they stayed at the Su family mansion, Su Wenyuan became increasingly annoyed.
At this moment, Meng Qi walked over, wanting to talk about the vendors outside.
Seeing that Sun Gui was there, he didn't say anything.
Su Wenyuan said casually, "Go ahead and say it, it's nothing important."
Meng Qi said, "We followed the princess's instructions and found vendors who had been setting up stalls in the area for a long time, and bought things in the princess's name."
"Those people saw that we meant no harm and learned from us that the princess liked what they were selling, so they came back to set up their stall, but... there's no one here."
Su Wenyuan sent people to knock on the doors of several shops she frequented, and also sent them to find street vendors to buy the food and trinkets they sold.
Just say that Su Wenyuan wanted to eat after waking up, or that the manor was short of food.
I tried to find any excuse to get them to open the door and to convey that I meant them no harm.
This solved the problem for the vendors, but not for the customers.
Suddenly, Su Wenyuan caught a glimpse of Sun Gui out of the corner of her eye and realized that this was a person.
“There’s no problem that money can’t solve!” Su Wenyuan waved her hand, signaling Sun Gui to come closer to her.
He has many subordinates, and the presence of more people creates a bustling atmosphere, which attracts others to follow.
After giving the order, Sun Gui's efficiency was truly remarkable.
In less than an hour, all the shops outside were open. Although there weren't many people, they could manage in a few days.
As long as this place is no longer deserted, Su Wenyuan's goal will be achieved.
She then instructed Sun Gui and others to spread the word that Sheng Jingyu was not so unreasonable and would not implicate innocent civilians.
After finishing her task, Su Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the rocking chair to rest with her eyes closed.
Every now and then, he would praise himself.
"Yuexiu, don't you think I'm amazing?" Su Wenyuan was indulging in self-admiration.
She could improve Sheng Jingyu's reputation and extricate him from accusations of treason.
"Yes! If you can get out of the way next time, you'll be even more amazing." Sheng Jingyu stood in front of her, blocking the sunlight from her face.
Su Wenyuan jolted awake and quickly opened her eyes, saying, "Who sent you? I didn't call you."
Since kicking him out last night, Su Wenyuan hasn't seen him again, and they've been eating separately.
Sheng Jingyu said matter-of-factly, "This is the Prince Chen's residence. I can go wherever I want without anyone telling me."
Su Wenyuan rolled her eyes, then worried that there might be other people in the yard, so she quickly looked around.
After confirming that no one was around, he said with relief, "You can go anywhere else, but not Zhuyue Pavilion. You are not welcome there."
Sheng Jingyu chuckled and said, "I've lived in this place for decades, and now you're not welcoming me anymore?"
"How dare you say that?" Su Wenyuan suddenly exploded.
But realizing that his voice was too loud, he quickly lowered it.
"Why aren't you welcome? Don't you know why? We've slept in the same bed for so long! You didn't even bother to remind me."
Su Wenyuan blushed as she spoke.
She had already put those two pieces of clothing away last night.
I was thinking of burning it, but I felt bad because it looked expensive and burning it would be a waste.
Sheng Jingyu said awkwardly, "No one else saw it, so how could I remind you?"
Su Wenyuan was always on guard against everyone, and Sheng Jingyu had to pretend to be blind. If she reminded him, wouldn't she expose herself?
Su Wenyuan slapped her thigh in anger, almost aggravating her wound, which startled Sheng Jingyu.
"Be careful with your movements. We can talk about moving out later. There's some new information from the palace. Do you want to hear it?" Sheng Jingyu asked.
Su Wenyuan said irritably, "What news? Is it telling you to atone with your death?"
Sheng Jingyu almost killed the prince, and Qikong Kingdom will definitely investigate. The emperor may not be able to stand up for himself.
Making Sheng Jingyu admit his mistakes and atone for them is a standard procedure.
Sheng Jingyu smiled slightly and said, "They want you to atone with your death."
"???"
At this moment, Su Wenyuan's face showed her confusion. She patted her head and said, "I don't remember hurting my ears, and my brain is working fine. How come I didn't understand?"
Sheng Jingyu said, "You heard right, they want you to come out and confess."
Su Wenyuan stood up angrily, instantly losing her mood for sunbathing.
"I was shot with an arrow by Jin Kouhe in public, and I'm supposed to come out and confess? What crime have I committed?" Su Wenyuan stared wide-eyed, finding it utterly absurd.
Before Sheng Jingyu could answer, she added, "I know, my mistake was not killing him sooner. Tonight, set fire to the inn!"
Su Wenyuan spoke through gritted teeth, and even jumped up and down excitedly.
Afraid that her wound would reopen, Sheng Jingyu quickly comforted her, saying, "Come here and sit down properly. Weren't you full of ideas just now? Why are you acting like a madwoman now?"
When it came to protecting his reputation, Su Wenyuan had a whole host of tricks up her sleeve.
When it comes to themselves, they become straightforward and don't care about the consequences.
Su Wenyuan laughed angrily and said, "It's not that I'm crazy, it's that they're all crazy! Come on, tell me, who came up with this terrible idea?"
Sheng Jingyu grabbed her, forcing her to quiet down, and said, "It was Consort Wan's idea. She even told Father Emperor, Father Emperor..."
Sheng Jingyu hesitated slightly, for he had received information that the Emperor had not objected.
Seeing his hesitation, Su Wenyuan knew what was going on.
A long silence followed.
