Chapter 21 Is there a possibility
A man dressed in a scarlet crane robe strode into the prime minister's residence.
The man looked to be in his early forties, but his temples were already gray, and his hair was dotted with a few strands of silver, which added a sense of elegance and refinement to his appearance.
This person is the prime minister of the current dynasty, Su Chengyi, Yun Fu's biological father.
During the reign of the previous emperor, Su Chengyi entered the Hanlin Academy as the third place in the imperial examination and was later promoted all the way. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was appointed as the prime minister because of his outstanding abilities and means.
Qin Shulan was looking at the account book in the yard. When she heard the noise, she looked up and saw her husband in official uniform. She stood up and went to greet him.
"What does Doctor Feng say?"
Qin Shulan took off the official hat on Su Chengyi's head and handed it to the maid beside him. Knowing that the question he was asking was about Su Yunfu, she told him everything that Doctor Feng had said during the consultation today.
Hearing the words that the pulse was stable but the consciousness was not clear, Su Chengyi's eyes turned cold, "The second master of the Zhu family will come to Beijing in the next few days, and they will come to visit then."
Ostensibly it was a visit, but in reality it was to take the woman's child away.
Su Chengyi knew very well how much the Zhu family hated him, especially after Zhu Qinghan passed away. They wanted to skin him alive and pull out his tendons.
Now that they know that Zhu Qinghan's child has been found and brought back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, they will definitely be unable to sit still.
But he couldn't let them take the child away. As long as the child was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the interests of the Su family and the Zhu family were linked together.
It hasn't been long since the new emperor came to power, and he has shown great favor to the Zhu family. Although he now holds the position of prime minister, it seems glorious, but in fact, every step he takes is difficult.
The new emperor trusted Prince Wei far more than anyone else. Although Wei Rong was the director of the Criminal Justice Department and a second-rank official, he had more power than him, a first-rank official, and even had more opportunities to get close to the emperor. Most of the time, he had basically no say and his position was useless.
When Su Chengyi learned that Wei Rong had been poisoned and would not live long, he felt a secret pleasure and joy in his heart, but at the same time he was also a little worried.
The new emperor's position is now unstable, and several other vassal kings are eyeing him covetously, especially since the previous emperor was least optimistic about him, but in the end it was he who ascended the throne.
Many of them, including princes and court officials, were watching.
Su Chengyi even received news that King Cheng was no longer in the vassal state.
The princes were not allowed to leave their fiefdoms without permission. Prince Cheng left secretly, and the Crown Prince of Wei was assassinated and poisoned. These things happened at the same time. Su Chengyi didn't believe that there was no connection.
He has been able to climb to his current position because he knows the ups and downs of officialdom. No official can get in clean. Those who are clean have powerful families and can protect themselves under the imperial power and be pure and honest ministers.
Su Chengyi's mother was an embroiderer and his father was a porter at the docks, so they had no power at all.
Over the years, every step he took had to be carefully planned. When he entered the officialdom, the first target he designed was Zhu Qinghan, the most favored eldest daughter of the Nanling Zhu family.
Now that he has Su Yunfu, Zhu Qinghan's daughter and the granddaughter of the Nanling Zhu family, Su Chengyi naturally has to make good use of her.
Qin Shulan looked at the man's bright and dark eyes and already knew what the man in front of her was thinking.
As expected.
"Madam, please send someone to clean up Chunyang Pavilion. Wanchun Garden is too remote and not conducive for Fu'er to recuperate. Arrange a few skillful maids to take good care of her. Then, take my letter and go to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician, or a good doctor from Jing'an City, to take good care of Fu'er."
Qin Shulan was stunned. "Although Wanchun Garden is a bit remote, it has a quiet environment and is more suitable for recuperation. Let's not bother the child."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shulan felt someone holding his hand.
Su Chengyi's eyes were gentle, and coupled with his handsome and elegant face, he was indeed very deceptive.
"Madam, do you dislike the child? Don't worry, in my heart, you, Mo'er, and Han'er are the most important. I just have some responsibility towards this child. After all, my blood flows in her body."
In this case, Qin Shulan was not happy at all, and her hands and feet felt cold.
He had seen how gentle and considerate this man was to Zhu Qinghan, just like he was to her now.
After getting married, the thing Su Chengyi said most often was that he didn't love Zhu Qinghan at first, and that he loved her from the beginning to the end.
Qin Shulan thought that if she were still that naive and unmarried girl, she would definitely believe these words.
But she had been married once, had been a widow for three years after her ex-husband passed away due to illness, and had even almost died once. She had already seen the face of the man in front of her clearly.
Qin Shulan pulled her hand out of her husband's, a blush on her face. She turned around slightly and coughed lightly, "My husband is coaxing me again. I got it. I'll ask someone to make arrangements."
Su Chengyi was about to say something when he heard a maid rushing into the yard in a hurry.
"Madam, Madam, something bad has happened! The Second Miss...she fell into the lotus pond!"
Qin Shulan's face changed when she heard this. "Wasn't she copying Buddhist scriptures in the ancestral hall? Why did she fall into the lotus pond?!"
The maid was stammering and unable to explain clearly, but Qin Shulan had already walked out of the room quickly.
When Su Chengyi heard that his daughter fell into the lotus pond, he thought about how Su Yunfu had also fallen in a month ago. Was it a coincidence?
This is certainly not a coincidence!
The culprit, Su Xiaohan, looked at herself covered in mud and cried in grievance, while the maidservant beside her was running around in panic.
Qin Shulan rushed to the lotus pond and looked at her daughter covered in mud. She felt angry and amused at the same time, like a mud monkey.
Hearing my daughter's powerful cries, I knew it was nothing serious.
"Wow, it stinks, it's so dirty!!!"
When Su Xiaohan saw her mother, she cried even louder and stood up and rushed over to her.
"Mother, wuwuwu~"
Qin Shulan couldn't help but move away, and this time, Su Xiaohan cried even louder.
After Yun Shu avenged her junior sister, she prepared to sneak into the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Yun Shu had to meet the person who had been able to survive for so long under the Thousand-Threaded Bone Snake and ruined her reputation, to see which god-like person could actually relieve the attacks of snake venom.
For Yun Shu, sneaking into the Duke of Wei’s mansion was not easy at all.
Who can tell her why the Duke of Wei's Mansion is harder to enter than the Imperial Palace? ! ! !
The secret guard's martial arts skills were ridiculously high, and fortunately Yun Shu was good at light work, otherwise she would have ended up losing more than she gained.
In Zhanmo Courtyard, Wei Rong was painting a picture of Ah Fu who was sleeping soundly on his desk.
Wei Rong was not surprised by the report that a master was approaching Duke Wei's mansion.
There were many temptations before he died.
"Master, this person is very strange. He is different from ordinary assassins."
When Zishi spoke, the crimson figure of the person who came to test him appeared in his mind. He was as fast as a ghost, and even he found it difficult to keep up.
Every time this man was discovered by their people, he would disappear in a flash, but would soon come closer again and start a new round of pursuit.
"This guy has amazing Qinggong skills, but he's also such a coward! It really pissed me off! He almost chased me to death. And this little thief is wearing red. Is he afraid others won't see him?"
These words were said by Shen Shi who had just chased the thief.
Yun Fu, who was sleeping soundly, couldn't help but move her ears. Her consciousness was still a little fuzzy, but she heard everything they said.
Wearing red, with great martial arts skills, and extremely cowardly...
When putting these words together, the first thing that comes to mind is my own senior sister.
I didn’t expect that this little thief is quite similar to my senior sister, Yun Fu thought in a daze, turned over and prepared to continue sleeping.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her head. Is there a possibility that the little thief they were talking about was her senior sister, Yun Shu!!!
