Su Yujiao walked out of the mansion nervously and came to a quiet place with a woman named Qingmei.
There is a thatched pavilion here, with bamboo forests on both sides.
The bamboo leaves rustled in the wind, and it was still a little cool when they blew on my body.
Qingmei was dressed like an ordinary peasant woman, but she exuded a sense of bravery. She looked around before speaking:
"His Majesty already knows about Jiang Mengli's departure from her home. He knows that this must have been caused by you, and he is very satisfied with it."
Su Yujiao: “…” speechless.
She even felt a little guilty.
After arriving at Prince Yu's Mansion, he did not do as the emperor said, but instead tried his best to bring the two together.
Jiang Mengli's departure from home had little to do with her; it was mainly a problem between the two of them.
Su Yujiao withdrew her thoughts and asked with tears in her eyes, "Miss Qingmei, since His Majesty is satisfied, can you let me see my husband and child?"
When I think of my young son, tears roll down my face uncontrollably.
Qingmei heard this and nodded without hesitation, "Okay, His Majesty has also promised you that as long as you do well, he won't make things too difficult for you."
"Let's go, but you have to be blindfolded for a while, and the time can't be too long. Your maid doesn't need to go, just wait here."
Qiu Zhi was very worried when she heard this, "But..."
"Qiuzhi, don't worry." Su Yujiao wiped her tears and comforted her, "Just wait here for me, I'll be fine."
Before she left, she bought a lot of food on the street and also bought a wooden horse and a candy man for her son...
Qingmei took her to a carriage, and after getting in, she was blindfolded. It became pitch black in front of her and she could not see anything.
About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped.
She was helped out of the carriage by Qingmei, and walked for a while after turning left and right before stopping.
"Okay, we're here." Qingmei took off the veil for her and pushed open the door to the courtyard.
As soon as Su Yujiao walked in, she heard her son crying and her husband's coaxing voice.
"Wuwu... I want to go home, I want my mother..."
"Ling'er, don't cry. This is home too. Mother is busy with something and will come back to see us."
The man held the child in his arms and used the grasshopper he had made to cheer him up.
Su Yujiao looked at their backs, feeling as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
Her husband was also a handsome and elegant gentleman, but now he was wearing tattered linen clothes and looked much thinner and haggard.
"Ah Zhan, Ling'er!"
The father and son heard the familiar voice and turned around at the same time.
When they saw the person in front of them, they were stunned with shock.
Chen Ling came back to his senses and was overjoyed. He jumped out of Chen Yuanzhan's arms and ran over, "Mom, Ling'er misses you..."
"Mom misses you too, hehe..." Su Yujiao held the child in her arms and couldn't help but kissed her a few times, "Mom also bought you a lot of delicious food and fun things."
As he spoke, he raised the thing in his hand.
He was overjoyed when he saw it, "Wow...that's a lot, thank you, mother."
Su Yujiao put him on the ground, and he ran happily to the side with a bunch of things in his arms, opening the packages one by one as if he were opening a blind box.
Chen Yuanzhan's eyes were red, but he still kept smiling as he walked over and hugged her in his arms, "I'm sorry, it's my fault that I can't protect you."
"I don't blame you..." Su Yujiao buried her head in his arms, weeping in grievance, her tears soaking his clothes. "You and I are both mortals, how can we resist the emperor? It's me who has implicated you and Ling'er."
The couple lived a happy and peaceful life, and hoped that their life would remain so peaceful forever.
Unexpectedly, someone broke into the house at night, knocked them all unconscious and kidnapped them. When Su Yujiao woke up, she found that her husband and son were gone, and only Qiu Zhi was with her.
Later, a eunuch appeared with Qingmei and told her to do as the emperor said in order to see her husband and son.
Chen Yuanzhan patted her back gently and whispered, "Don't talk about getting involved. There's always a way out. There will be a way to solve it."
Su Yujiao nodded, "Well, I will also find a way, you and Ling'er must be fine..."
Before the two of them could talk for a few words, Qingmei came over and said, "It's getting late."
Although it was just a few short words, they all understood that it was urging Su Yujiao to leave.
Su Yujiao finally saw her husband and children, how could she bear to leave like this?
She didn't let go for a long time, leaning reluctantly in Chen Yuanzhan's arms.
Qingmei frowned and whispered a threat, "Su, only if you are obedient will your husband and children have a better life. You are working for His Majesty, and if you do a good job, His Majesty will not treat you unfairly."
This was a combination of kindness and force, forcing Su Yujiao to obey.
Her husband and children are more important than her life. She can do anything for them.
"I know..." Su Yujiao came out of his arms, forced a smile and looked at him, "I will try to pick you up and leave as soon as possible, and you don't have to worry about me, Prince Yu's Mansion..."
Before she could finish her words, Qingmei took her hand and left, looking back every few steps.
The courtyard here is very small, with only two rooms, and behind it is a toilet and a small kitchen, which are very dilapidated.
There were people guarding the courtyard all around, so they couldn't escape.
Su Yujiao was blindfolded again and sat in the carriage. Qingmei sat opposite her and said, "Tell me about the specific situation of Prince Yu's Mansion. What was the main reason for her running away from home?"
Su Yujiao responded hoarsely with an expressionless face, "Princess Yu wants a divorce, but Prince Yu disagrees."
This surprised Qingmei for a moment. "How come it's the other way around? Your appearance should mean Prince Yu wants to divorce her, so why is it Jiang Mengli who wants a divorce?"
The emperor and the empress dowager in the palace both thought that Wen Mohan wanted to divorce, and Jiang Mengli ran away from home to avoid the divorce because she disagreed.
Now hearing the opposite news, it feels incredible and a little confusing.
Su Yujiao said coldly: "I don't know."
Qingmei withdrew her thoughts and frowned, saying, "Since Prince Yu is unwilling to divorce, then you should find a way to get him to agree. You are someone he cares about, so I believe it won't be difficult to do so."
"I'll give you three days. If Prince Yu still doesn't agree after three days, your husband and child will move to a better environment."
When speaking, he deliberately emphasized the word "good", and the threatening meaning was obvious.
There was no conversation along the way and the atmosphere was very depressing.
It took her two quarters of an hour to return. Qiu Zhi was relieved to see that she was safe and sound. "I'm glad you're alright. I was so worried when I saw that the young lady hadn't returned yet."
Su Yujiao tried her best to remain calm, and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, let's go back to Prince Yu's Mansion."
This place is not far from Prince Yu's Palace, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to get there.
Before the master and servant had time to enter the house, they saw Wen Mohan coming back on horseback.
"Sister Yujiao." He turned over and got off the horse, his brows slightly furrowed, his expression anxious.
Su Yujiao smiled softly and said, "I guess you went to look for her. She doesn't want to show up, so it's hard for you to find her."
