"If this situation were to occur again in the future, no matter who comes, you two can certainly handle it as you see fit. But this time, the situation is different. The young master has been in Anchuan for so long, and you two can see that he actually..."
Empress Yuan paused, looking quite troubled, as if she was about to unleash a powerful move.
“He’s just a child at heart. He’s not very mature in his speech or actions. His playmates are important to him. If these guards stay here, our young master probably won’t survive.”
Su Wenyuan thought he was very capable, but she didn't expect that his ability was to slander Jin Kouhe.
Using Jin Kouhe's death to threaten them? This is no joke!
Sheng Jingyu sneered, "If he dies, I'll be happy. After all, I wanted to kill him in the first place, but you insisted on stopping me."
Su Wenyuan continued, "Also, I've never seen a child who would kill someone at the drop of a hat. That young master is already old enough to be a father, so stop lying through your teeth."
Empress Yuan proved with her actions that he had come here to invite a scolding.
Knowing full well that the couple speaks in a way that is both incredibly offensive, they still came to demand the person's return.
Now that things have come to this, Empress Yuan has nothing more to say.
I'll go back and try to persuade Jin Kouhe again; it seems things are easier for him there.
Su Wenyuan offered to see Empress Yuan out, adding that she hadn't been a good host to him on his previous visits to the Prince Chen's residence, and that she would definitely treat him well in the future.
This was also a sarcastic remark, mocking his previous clumsy scheme.
Empress Yuan said, "I was impetuous before, which is why Prince Chen refused to see me. If I had thought it over more carefully, the result would have been different. For example, the Princess Consort now dares to talk to me in the street, even at night."
He wanted to say that no matter how clumsy his previous schemes were, they still forced Sheng Jingyu to be afraid to see him.
Su Wenyuan only sent him out so calmly after breaking the deadlock, what's there to be proud of!
Su Wenyuan was able to break the deadlock because of the unexpected Jin Kouhe. If Jin Kouhe hadn't taken the bait and hadn't tried to assassinate her, would she still have been able to break the deadlock?
Su Wenyuan sensed the hidden meaning in his words and said with a smile, "Your Highness is just too cautious. After all, there is a precedent to learn from. If you had known it would be like this, the Prince Chen's mansion would definitely have opened its doors to welcome you into the mansion."
Previously, it was thought that the matter of Marquis Anle was also done by them, but this time it was just the same old trick.
It turned out that they weren't involved that time, so this time it doesn't seem so clever.
Empress Yuan was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "Your Highness is the descendant of Marquis Anle. Marquis Anle was wronged and died, yet you can be the princess with a clear conscience. It is truly admirable."
“I understand, after all, we all have to live. But when you are to be recorded in the royal register, I wonder how it will be recorded that you are a descendant of a traitor or someone of unknown origin?”
Su Wenyuan's smile vanished instantly, and she thought to herself that Empress Yuan was very clever.
So quickly they figured out how to sow discord between her and Sheng Jingyu.
Seeing that her expression had changed, Empress Yuan felt it wasn't enough and continued, "Although Prince Chen is also trying to exonerate you, he is still a prince, the emperor's son. The princess's deep affection for him truly impresses me."
Seeing that he wanted to say more, Su Wenyuan interrupted him: "Are you never going to stop? You're leaving Anchuan tomorrow. If you want to go back lying down, I can grant your wish."
After saying this, Su Wenyuan turned and went back to her residence, fearing that she might take action against Empress Yuan.
I'm leaving tomorrow, so it's not worth causing trouble now.
Sheng Jingyu was still in the front hall, wanting to talk to her about the uses of those people and explain in detail why they couldn't be returned to Qikong Kingdom.
Su Wenyuan was reluctant to ask many questions, fearing that Sheng Jingyu would not trust her and that asking would put Sheng Jingyu in a difficult position.
Sheng Jingyu knew this, so she often took the initiative to tell Su Wenyuan.
He waited in the lobby for a long time but didn't see Su Wenyuan return. He asked in confusion, "So long? What were you talking about?"
Ye Shan sent someone to check the entrance and found that Su Wenyuan had already left and gone back to Zhuyue Pavilion to sleep.
"A servant who passed by said that the princess looked unwell. I wonder if Empress Yuan had upset her?" Ye Shan reported.
Sheng Jingyu frowned and asked Ye Shan to ask the guards on duty if they had heard them talking.
...
Su Wenyuan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, thinking about the words Empress Yuan had said.
There is no doubt that Sheng Jingyu is helping her.
But the original owner of this body died because she didn't want to be a princess.
Furthermore, the Anle Marquis's family was unjustly killed, and now she has become involved with the royal family, which sounds like a betrayal.
Empress Yuan was truly capable; her few words directly provoked Su Wenyuan.
Just then, a gust of wind blew in, and Su Wenyuan looked over to see a figure furtively closing the window.
“This is the Prince Chen’s residence. Is it appropriate to enter through the window instead of the door?” Su Wenyuan asked in a low voice.
Sheng Jingyu could tell from her voice that something was wrong with her.
It's obvious that it's because of what Empress Yuan said; that Empress Yuan is truly despicable.
If he had known it would be like this, he definitely wouldn't have agreed to let Su Wenyuan send Empress Yuan off.
Sheng Jingyu coughed lightly and said, "I would like to enter through the main gate, but I'm afraid you won't welcome me. There are guards everywhere in the mansion. After you were injured, they became more wary of the people from Qikong Kingdom, which explains your conversation with Empress Yuan just now..."
He wanted to explain first that he hadn't intentionally arranged for someone to eavesdrop.
It was because the guards were so dedicated that he suddenly realized what they might have overheard, which is why he went to ask.
Hearing him say that, Su Wenyuan stopped hiding it and sat up to say, "It's good that you heard it. He didn't say anything, but I did think a lot about my mother and my maternal grandfather's family."
Su Wenyuan didn't think too much about it at first; she just wanted to take the money and run away, that was all.
Later, he wanted to do something for Yu Qingzhu, Anlehou, and others.
At this point, the truth hasn't been found out, but there are definitely hidden circumstances.
The fact that the emperor intervened shows that he was involved in the matter.
The Marquis of Anle's entire family died tragically, yet she used the Marquis of Anle's money to become a princess?
Su Wenyuan felt very depressed when she thought about this.
“I’ve thought about it too. I should have helped him get justice back then.” Sheng Jingyu sighed, looking down. After Marquis Anle was imprisoned, he was the only one who heard Marquis Anle cry out for justice.
Su Wenyuan said bluntly, "Thinking about it is useless; you can't help him."
The Emperor had no intention of letting Marquis Anle live, and there was nothing Sheng Jingyu could do at that time.
Sheng Jingyu continued, "Yes, I know I can't help you, but at least when you face me, you'll feel at ease and won't think that I'm on the same side as the Emperor."
He had already figured out what Su Wenyuan was struggling with.
“It’s not that serious, but if my mother were alive, she probably wouldn’t agree to let me become the princess.” Su Wenyuan seriously considered Yu Qingzhu’s thoughts.
The Emperor killed Marquis Anle, so Yu Qingzhu certainly doesn't want her to have any entanglements with the royal family.
