Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu were in a hurry to return to Da Chu, and didn't have time to bring anything. The gifts that Yuan Hong prepared in his capacity as the new emperor of Xiaoyue, and the gifts that Su Ruojin prepared for her relatives and friends in Da Chu, were all slowly brought back to Da Chu by the guards.
Madam Zhao's eyes instantly reddened. "This, this little Yuan Hong actually had such a miraculous encounter. It's truly a blessing from heaven!"
Su Ruojin quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of Old Madam Zhao's eyes and gently comforted her, "Grandmother, we should be happy for Yuan Hong. Whenever you miss him, I will go with you to Xiaoyue to see him."
Consort Jiang also advised, "Yes, Madam, this is a good thing, a great thing. When you go to Xiaoyue, I will go with you. To be honest, I have never been to Xiaoyue before, and I also want to go out and see it."
"Oh, alright, alright, let's go together then, let's go together." After her initial excitement, Madam Zhao calmed down.
Indeed, it couldn't be better if Yuan Hong were like this.
Madam Zhao knew that Yuan Hong was not so much raised by her, but rather taught and raised by Xiao Jin.
How could a child raised by Xiao Jin be anything but good? It's Xiao Yue's good fortune to have such a new emperor; she should be happy for Yuan Hong.
After discussing this matter, Consort Jiang thought of the incident at General Su's mansion, which had caused a great uproar and was known to everyone in the capital.
"Xiao Jin, don't worry about the Su family. I believe the Su family isn't like that. Now that Yan Chu is back, he'll definitely get to the bottom of this and clear the Su family's name."
When this happened, both Consort Jiang and Madam Zhao were very anxious. They wanted to help but didn't know where to start, so they had to leave the matter to Shen Yu.
Now that they saw Chu'er and Xiao Jin had returned, they felt a little more at ease.
“Mother, my father, mother, and brothers would never do anything like colluding with the enemy or betraying the country. This matter is suspicious from the start. Now that we have returned, we will definitely find out the truth,” Su Ruojin said.
"Sigh, everything was fine before, how did it turn out like this? People's hearts are like this."
Although Consort Jiang was in the backyard of the Prince's mansion, she had spent many years in the palace and experienced many things, so how could she not guess some of the inside stories?
"Mother, don't worry, I believe things will be over soon," Xiao Yanchu comforted her.
After Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin returned to their room, Xiao Yanchu told Su Ruojin what he was planning.
“Ah Jin, this is the last chance I’m giving that mother and son. If they’re smart enough to let go in time and clear the Su family’s name, then Xiao Chenyi can still be saved. I don’t mind giving him some more time to grow and teaching him a little more.”
If they remain obstinate, then don't blame me for reassigning that seat.
Su Ruojin was not surprised at all that Xiao Yanchu would have such thoughts.
Although Xiao Yanchu had already relinquished a considerable amount of power to allow Xiao Chenyi to gradually transition to personal rule, it wouldn't be difficult for him to replace Xiao Chenyi even so.
If Xiao Chen is also a selfish, incompetent, and morally bankrupt ruler, then removing him is no big deal; otherwise, it is the people of Great Chu who will suffer.
However, there is a problem now.
"If you bring Xiao Chenyi down, who will take that position? You?"
Su Ruojin knew that Xiao Yanchu had no interest in this, but if it was unavoidable, for the sake of the people of Great Chu, there were some things she had to do even if she didn't want to.
"If I wanted to sit, I would have done so long ago. It wouldn't have been Xiao Chenyi's turn."
"Then who else..." Su Ruojin said, then suddenly remembered someone, and her eyes widened.
