"Let me say it again, if we don't get it back this time, there will be another time." Su Wenyuan smiled slightly, looking very confident.
Anyway, she's got her eye on this house; it'll be hers sooner or later.
These words helped Su Yuan make a decision. Since Su Wenyuan was so concerned about it, it was better to give it to her sooner rather than later, to avoid having to go through this again in the future.
“Fine, this house is yours. Your debt with Su Xian is settled.” Su Yuan’s voice was trembling.
Sheng Jingyu looked regretful, thinking that Su Yuan could struggle a little longer so that he could have a chance to perform.
They agreed so quickly, I made a wasted trip.
Su Wenyuan said with a smile, "Then let's start moving today. If we can't finish tonight, we'll add tomorrow. I'll have the guards in the manor keep an eye on you."
To avoid any unforeseen complications, it's best to resolve this as soon as possible.
Sheng Jingyu instructed, "Ye Shan, go and summon the prefect. We'll rewrite and sign the house deeds and land deeds right here."
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Su Wenyuan didn't linger and let them discuss it among themselves.
When Su Wenyuan saw Su Xian as she was leaving, she said with a smile, "I have to thank you for this. You sold something worth hundreds of taels for only a few dozen taels, and then bought it back for hundreds of taels? Most people wouldn't do something like that."
You couldn't find such a spendthrift in the entire capital. When Su Xian sold it, he didn't know it was worth so much. When he bought it back, he knew the other party was asking for an exorbitant price, but he still had no choice but to buy it.
After all, if they hadn't bought it back then, Su Lin'er would have filed a lawsuit against Su Plaintiff.
Thinking of this, Su Xian suddenly remembered the pile of jewelry.
Since it's so valuable, why not let Su Lin'er take it out and sell it again? If they carefully collect the money, it should be enough!
Su Xian hurriedly went in and told Su Yuan about it. Su Yuan then sent someone to fetch Su Lin'er so he could ask her about it.
Such a big thing happened in the manor, but Su Lin'er only came over for a quick look, then made an excuse to go find a doctor and never showed up again.
Su Yuan sought her out not to save the house, but to recoup some money.
He then realized that the household had become so strapped for cash.
Wang kept filling her secret stash of silver, which must have contained a lot of money, but Su Xian lost it all. The most valuable thing besides that was the jewelry in Su Lin'er's hands.
Su Lin'er had already thought of this and was hiding her jewelry, afraid that Su Yuan would find it.
When the manor suffered misfortune, no one was willing to lend a helping hand.
Su Wenyuan found it amusing and asked, "If everyone in the manor brought out their silver and valuables, would they be able to pay it back?"
Sheng Jingyu analyzed, "More or less. Su Yuan has been prime minister for so many years. If he doesn't have much money, then he must have spent it on the people in his household!"
"Fortunately, people weren't united, otherwise things wouldn't have gone so smoothly," Su Wenyuan sighed.
Sheng Jingyu asked, "Are you going back to the Prince Chen's residence?"
Su Wenyuan replied, "No, I want to watch them move out. Send more people over."
That afternoon, a chaotic fight broke out in the Su residence. Su Yuan first argued with Su Lin'er, then Su Lin'er cursed Su Xian, followed by a concubine pointing out Su Lin'er's selfishness, and Su Xian blaming Su Lin'er for threatening him back then...
With all sorts of things piling up, everyone's tempers flared, and the argument became quite a scene.
Meanwhile, all the events that happened at the Su residence were also spread out without missing a single detail.
Before Su Yuan and his family had even moved out, it was already known outside that the Su residence had been used to pay off debts, and the debt collector was still Su Wenyuan.
Su Wenyuan, who couldn't even get a proper courtyard in the mansion back then, became the new master of the Su family mansion.
Following this lead, the group dug deeper and discovered that the house was originally bought by Yu Qingzhu. Su Yuan, that heartless man, had lived there for many years with a group of concubines and had also mistreated Su Wenyuan.
For a time, many people applauded and cheered for Su Wenyuan.
No one thought she was too harsh on her biological father, Su Yuan; they all just thought Su Yuan deserved it.
After things settled down here, the palace also received the news.
The Emperor was completely relieved. He was genuinely afraid that Su Yuan and Su Wenyuan would come to him demanding an explanation, but fortunately, the matter was resolved privately.
But she still had to feign a complaint, "We're all family. Why does Princess Chen have to push her own father to his death? Su Yuan, you should come and tell me. I can make decisions for you."
The Emperor was unaware that Su Yuan didn't trust him at all.
If making a scene in front of the emperor would have worked, Su Yuan would have done so long ago.
The Empress sighed and said, "When we were choosing a princess for Jingyu, we never expected her to be so assertive."
Even in front of the Emperor, the Empress used very gentle words.
The Emperor scoffed, "Back then, weren't Marquis Anle and Yu Qingzhu both assertive? Only Su Yuan was weak. I thought Su Wenyuan would be more like him, after all, the news about her in the capital at that time was all like that..."
The emperor realized halfway through his speech that he had made a mistake.
In the capital, Su Wenyuan was described in very negative terms: timid, cowardly, and unfit for public life.
Knowing all this, he still issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage, which was quite different from his usual attitude towards Sheng Jingyu.
Although the Empress did not show it on her face, she had a big question mark in her heart.
She had always thought that when the Emperor bestowed the marriage, he didn't know Su Wenyuan was a good-for-nothing. But now the Emperor is saying he knew? And that he thought Su Wenyuan was as weak as Su Yuan, which is why he bestowed the marriage?
This doesn't make sense! The Emperor treats Sheng Jingyu so well, why would he arrange it like this?
The Emperor coughed lightly and continued, "I think she is like Su Yuan. She is gentle in nature, but she must be meticulous and have a good temper. After all, Jing Yu has such a bad temper. Only a princess with a good temper can tolerate him."
The Emperor reiterated his opinion of Su Wenyuan, hoping to dispel the Empress's suspicions.
The Empress added, "That's what I thought too, but Princess Consort Chen is quite different before and after the wedding."
The Emperor waved his hand and said, "Never mind, as long as Jingyu is happy. It's just that this time, he went too far. I can't say much. If the Empress has time, she can invite his daughter to the palace for a visit."
In the past, the main wife of the household was invited to the palace, but now that Su Yuan has no wife, he can only ask his daughter.
The Empress, as always, was very sensible. She smiled gently and replied, "Your Majesty's wishes will certainly be conveyed to Miss Su."
The Emperor nodded in satisfaction and turned to go to Consort Wan's quarters.
The Empress's gaze shifted from love to hate. Why was all the trouble hers?
The trouble here had just been resolved when the Emperor went to chat with Consort Wan.
"Princess Heyi conspired with the Crown Prince to scheme against my Seventh Prince. Is this matter just going to be left unresolved? Has Your Majesty considered Ziyan?"
The Empress was heartbroken. This matter had already been made clear at the hunting grounds. The Seventh Prince was at fault, but Princess He Yi and the Crown Prince had also contributed to the situation.
