From the moment she entered the Imperial Study, she was scheming against the Emperor. Her so-called weakness and good attitude were all an act, done to make the Emperor less wary of her.
Later, she offered to help the emperor solve his problem. The emperor was already troubled by this matter, and when he heard that she could solve it, he was sure that he would not harm her again.
The accusation against Su Yuan in the middle was something Su Wenyuan hadn't expected.
The Emperor still harbors some resentment towards Su Yuan, perhaps because Su Yuan forced Yu Qingzhu to her death.
But in any case, this period made Su Wenyuan's plan go more smoothly.
They easily swayed the emperor to their side.
After hearing the whole story, Sheng Jingyu was relieved, but he still wanted to apologize to Su Wenyuan.
His momentary carelessness led to Su Wenyuan being put in danger.
"It was my oversight. I didn't expect these harsh words to spread so quickly. I mistakenly thought that Father wouldn't come after you anytime soon."
Sheng Jingyu is also working on this matter, but it won't be quick.
He felt that he would be faster than the emperor could come knocking on his door.
However, in the last two days, the rumors circulating outside have become far too obvious.
Sheng Jingyu and Su Wenyuan were watching Anle Marquis's residence and trying to put pressure on Su Yuan and the Emperor, but they were very cautious to avoid getting burned.
However, the result this time is quite obvious, and it's hard not to feel that some people have ulterior motives.
Among these "some people," Su Wenyuan is the most prominent.
Sheng Jingyu apologized for his oversight, but Su Wenyuan found it all baffling.
"I didn't expect what you didn't expect either, so what's there to apologize for? Besides, nothing happened to me, and even if something did happen to me, it's not your fault."
It's normal for unexpected things to happen; as long as they can be resolved, that's fine.
Su Wenyuan didn't have many loyal subordinates to mobilize, so she had to rely on Sheng Jingyu for this part.
However, it wasn't said that Sheng Jingyu would be fully responsible for other matters. Even if she died in the Imperial Study today, it could only be considered that she was careless and accidentally fell into someone else's trap.
Su Wenyuan didn't think Sheng Jingyu had anything to apologize for, but Sheng Jingyu started to act awkwardly.
"I feel like I haven't taken good care of you."
"I can take care of myself, I don't need you." Su Wenyuan refused Sheng Jingyu's offer and stopped the carriage. "Have you finished your business? If not, hurry back and get back to work!"
Sheng Jingyu didn't go down. He suddenly felt that he had a very low presence in front of Su Wenyuan, and sometimes he even felt like a useless person.
His queen is a bit too strong, so strong that she doesn't need his care or help, and even complains that he's in the way after the problem is solved.
In short, Su Wenyuan doesn't need him, how can that be?
Sheng Jingyu became increasingly frustrated, while Su Wenyuan pondered how to talk to Su Yuan.
When the Emperor asked Su Yuan to bring up this matter, he sent the Crown Prince to discuss it with Su Yuan.
Now he could send the Crown Prince over again and the matter would be resolved, but the Emperor was concerned about his reputation and was too embarrassed to ask Su Yuan for help again, so he could only let Su Wenyuan handle it herself.
Seeing Su Wenyuan's worried expression, Sheng Jingyu perked up and asked, "Are we going to the Su residence now?"
Su Wenyuan nodded: "Yes, as long as I suppress the news from the outside world and have Su Yuan tell the Emperor that we don't want the house anymore, then the Anle Marquis's Mansion will be mine."
We can't just say it directly; we have to say something nice to make the emperor have no choice but to take it back.
The difficulty lies in the fact that Su Yuan has to beg the Emperor to accept it, and the reason must be plausible.
In the past, Su Wenyuan would not have dared to agree to this. Back then, Su Yuan was still the prime minister, and he had a good relationship with the crown prince and was not as distant from the emperor as he is now.
Back then, it was too difficult to get Su Yuan to follow her ideas.
It's still worth a try, but you'll have to use your brain and think of a solution.
Sheng Jingyu seized the opportunity and said quickly, "You go back, I'll handle this."
He needed to prove to Su Wenyuan that he was useful and that when problems arose, Su Wenyuan didn't have to solve them herself.
Su Wenyuan found it amusing and asked, "What's wrong with you? This isn't a good thing, why are you fighting over it?"
Knowing that Sheng Jingyu was busy investigating the Crown Prince, Su Wenyuan didn't want to waste his time on such a trivial matter.
Sheng Jingyu said awkwardly, "Never mind that, I'll go."
Su Wenyuan said seriously, "Although I don't know what you're arguing about, this matter is really small and insignificant to me. Your matter is more important. Only when your matter is resolved can my matter be resolved."
Sheng Jingyu also has his own enemies to deal with; if he loses, he won't even be able to save his life.
Su Wenyuan could tell which was more important, but Sheng Jingyu seemed a little confused.
With her reminder, Sheng Jingyu finally stopped worrying about such a trivial matter.
"Alright, then go to the Su residence. I will identify the Crown Prince during tomorrow's morning court session..."
"You don't need to tell me," Su Wenyuan reminded her again.
If she needs help, she will definitely help; if she doesn't need help, she doesn't need to know these things.
Sheng Jingyu said, "Then you just need to get Su Yuan to cooperate. In the morning court session, in front of everyone, return the house to the Emperor in a reasonable manner. I will take care of the rest."
Once the Crown Prince's affair blows up, no one will pay attention to Marquis Anle anymore.
When Su Wenyuan arrived at the Su residence, no one stopped her as she entered, just like she was returning to her own home.
The concubines were still arguing, but they immediately fell silent when they saw her appear.
Su Yuan immediately had Su Wenyuan invited to the front hall, wanting to ask her what else she wanted to do.
At this point, Su Yuan had lost all spirit. He had been listless and lifeless during court sessions these past few days, and he had nothing to say to Sheng Yuanhe.
He wouldn't be surprised no matter what shocking things Su Wenyuan said today.
Even if Su Wenyuan came to scold him, he wasn't surprised at all; it was perfectly normal.
To his surprise, Su Wenyuan didn't curse him or say anything sarcastic. She just sat there drinking tea and occasionally asked some unimportant questions.
For example, has a memorial tablet been set up for Wang Shi? Has Su Xian been gambling these past two days? Will Su Lin'er still cause trouble?
Su Yuan answered these questions one by one, and Su Wenyuan didn't react much after listening, just nodded calmly.
After finishing his tea, Su Yuan couldn't help but ask, "What brings you here today?"
"I'm here to ask for the Marquis of Anle's residence on behalf of my father, since you're not going to live there anyway." Su Wenyuan didn't hide her purpose.
Mentioning the Marquis of Anle's mansion gave Su Yuan a huge headache.
This situation is escalating, which is different from what the Emperor said at the beginning. He promised that things would gradually calm down.
"It's not like I don't want to give it; if you want it, take it back!" Su Yuan snapped. "I didn't want it in the first place. It was the Crown Prince who told me to ask the Emperor for it. Who would want that wretched place?"
"Me?" Su Wenyuan smiled slightly.
Su Yuan was taken aback, feeling that something was wrong with her. It wasn't that it was wrong for her to want the Marquis of Anle's mansion, but that it was wrong for her to say it so directly.
