"She spends my mother's money and uses my mother's things, yet she won't give me a place to stay in this huge mansion. Do you think I'm being unreasonable?" Su Wenyuan questioned loudly.
Su Yuan slumped back down in despair.
He was in the wrong; no matter who you ask, he was in the wrong in all of these matters.
Why didn't he take better care of Su Wenyuan back then? He used so much of her mother's money, how come he's short of a meal for Su Wenyuan?
It's all Wang's fault for making their relationship like this.
Why would a scumbag man look for problems within himself? If there are problems, they're always someone else's.
Meng Qi came over again and reported the situation to her.
Lu Wanying has already left the palace with the silver; it's time for the second act.
“I’ve lived in this dilapidated house for decades. I’m only asking Wang to move out of Rongzhu Courtyard, not out of this house yet. If you disagree, that’s exactly what I want.” Su Wenyuan smiled maliciously.
Su Wenyuan never minded killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of her own, as long as the other side suffered losses.
Su Yuangang blamed everything on Wang Shi, but then he thought that since Wang Shi was managing the household and the servants were starting to disobey him, it was time to teach her a lesson, so he agreed.
Su Wenyuan visibly relaxed and said with a smile, "That's good, but you can't touch anything here. I'll have someone check regularly to make sure nothing is missing."
She will have to take back all the property and the house in the future.
Su Yuan didn't speak, he just nodded, he was too tired.
Arguing with Su Wenyuan is so tiring, and I don't even get the better of her. Can she please not come back in the future?
Su Lin'er was eavesdropping at the door, and the hem of her clothes was showing. Su Wenyuan coughed lightly and said, "You should come in. Eavesdropping is not a respectable thing to do. People will laugh at you if word gets out."
After a long while, Su Lin'er finally came in, dawdling along.
Su Yuan felt a surge of annoyance and forgot about Su Lin'er.
“She has already made a promise to Consort Wan. If you insist on having money, I will have to give it to you.” Su Yuan compromised immediately.
He was about to send someone to get the money when Su Wenyuan suddenly said, "No need."
The silver has been delivered and will arrive soon.
But Su Yuan and Su Lin'er were unaware of this and looked at her in surprise.
Su Wenyuan said in a pretentious tone, "It's just a little bit of silver. I'm just here to prove a point. Su Lin'er, you made the decision for me, so you should apologize to me now, right?"
Although Su Lin'er was reluctant, she could save a lot of money by apologizing, so she only hesitated for a moment before apologizing.
"I'm sorry, I was just acting impulsively, and I was also afraid of offending Consort Wan, so I made the decision for you." Su Lin'er's apology was still so unconvincing.
Su Wenyuan didn't mind and sighed, "I know you want to be the Crown Princess, but Consort Wan doesn't like you, and the Crown Prince doesn't like you either. You should stop dreaming."
Su Lin'er retorted angrily, "How do you know the Crown Prince doesn't like me?"
She and the Crown Prince had known each other for many years, and there must have been some feelings between them.
"Do you know where the Crown Prince went on the day Consort Wan hosted the banquet?" Su Wenyuan asked herself and answered, "He went to find Lu Wanying. She also wants to become the Crown Princess, and her chances are better than yours."
After saying that, Su Wenyuan stood up and was about to leave, regardless of her reaction.
Before they even left the Prime Minister's residence, Lu Wanying arrived.
Upon hearing the report from the servants in the manor, Su Lin'er was taken aback. What was she doing here?
Su Wenyuan was also puzzled and asked, "You two know each other?"
Of course she knew Lu Wanying had come to see her; she was just pretending.
The group moved to the front hall, and Lu Wanying came in and said, "I am here on the orders of the Imperial Concubine to deliver silver to Princess Chen. The Crown Prince destroyed many items in the mansion that day, and these are the silver notes."
A thick stack of silver notes was handed to Su Wenyuan, who accepted it without ceremony and asked, "Why should I trouble you to make this trip?"
"Her Highness the Imperial Concubine said it was better to send it over, so that the Princess would not misunderstand and think that she was reneging on her debt." Lu Wanying seemed to see through her and spoke first, "I knew you wanted to ruin the Imperial Concubine's reputation, so I deliberately got ahead of you. Now you have nothing to say."
She knew that Su Lin'er was not capable of persuading Su Wenyuan not to accept the money.
No matter what, Su Wenyuan had to have it, and she had to go to the palace to ask for it in person.
When she told Consort Wan what she had said, Consort Wan thought that Su Wenyuan was capable of such a thing and secretly cursed Su Lin'er as a good-for-nothing.
Don't let it end up with her being the one who doesn't pay back her debts.
It's not worth losing face for such a small amount of money.
Just then, Lu Wanying arrived, so I handed the matter over to her. At the same time, I felt that Lu Wanying was quite intelligent, being able to think of such a thing and reminding her immediately.
Lu Wanying did benefit, but Su Lin'er's expression changed drastically.
"I was the one who first brought up this matter to share the burden for the Imperial Concubine," Su Lin'er exclaimed.
Lu Wanying said disdainfully, "You almost made the Imperial Concubine lose face. If I hadn't reacted quickly, she would already be in the palace and spreading rumors that the Imperial Concubine owes money."
Su Lin'er retorted angrily, "What do you know? Su Wenyuan has already said she doesn't want the money anymore. Why are you meddling in her business?"
She didn't believe Su Wenyuan when she said Lu Wanying wanted to be the Crown Princess, but now she has no choice but to believe it.
"What do you mean I'm meddling? You can't even handle this little thing properly!"
Su Lin'er was even angrier. She had already resolved the matter and apologized to Su Wenyuan for it.
He was just waiting to curry favor with Consort Wan, but Lu Wanying stole the spotlight from him.
Now Consort Wan will surely think she's a good-for-nothing.
Su Wenyuan took the silver notes and silently left the Prime Minister's residence.
On the carriage, Su Wenyuan counted the silver notes and sneered, "A lousy job, fighting tooth and nail for it, is not as practical as silver notes. What a waste of time."
Meng Qi asked from outside the carriage, "How did the Princess know that Lu Wanying would come?"
"I don't know. If she hadn't shown up, I would have done what she guessed: gone to the palace to find Consort Wan and spread rumors that she owed money and wouldn't pay it back," Su Wenyuan said confidently.
Lu Wanying stopping the carriage was something Su Wenyuan hadn't expected, and she wasn't sure what would happen after entering the palace.
We just have to deal with whatever comes our way.
Meng Qi nodded as if he understood, but he didn't quite get it. He couldn't understand how Su Wenyuan could come up with such a bad idea.
"Send someone to keep an eye on the Prime Minister's residence. I'll wait to hear the results. Also, Wang Shi, see if she obediently moves out."
After returning home, she handed the roster to Ye Shan and asked Ye Shan to help her check it.
Let's try to learn about Marquis Anle from the old man; maybe we'll find some clues.
When reopening an old case, there always needs to be a breakthrough.
At the Prime Minister's residence, a bloody fight broke out. Lu Wanying and Su Lin'er were fighting, and Su Yuan hadn't even separated them when Wang Shi ran out again.
She was about to commit suicide by banging her head against the wall in the woodshed. A servant went in to stop her, but in a moment of carelessness, she escaped.
The servants that Lu Wanying brought to protect their mistress got into a fight with the servants of the Prime Minister's residence.
When Su Wenyuan left, the gate was still open, and there were quite a few onlookers outside the mansion...
