SFS Chapter 339 The Guests Have Gone
Chapter 339 The Guests Have Gone
The people from the Earl of Yongkang's Mansion took the silver note and turned away arrogantly, but they didn't expect to hear Su Yunrou's voice behind them again.
"Grandmother, I'm sorry that the Marquis's hospitality was not good enough today. I'm sorry that you, my aunts, and my sisters and sisters have laughed at me."
Old Madam Liu looked at Su Yunrou with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. This was probably the last time she would see her granddaughter. How much she expected of her before, how disappointed she was now.
"Take care of yourself!" Old Liu got up and walked away.
The other members of the Liu family were even more rude and left with either a cold snort or a chuckle.
Su Yunrou's eyes flickered. She was waiting to see the day when the Liu family would kneel before her and beg for mercy.
"Pearl you go!"
Su Qingwan gave Zhenzhu a look, and Zhenzhu naturally understood what she meant and followed the Liu family out.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the old princess said to Jiang and Su Qingwan, "I have to go back. If I don't go back, the old man will start to complain."
"Okay, I'll take my aunt out." Su Qingwan helped the old princess walk outside.
Jiang also followed.
After arriving at the door, the old princess chatted with the mother and son for a few more words before getting in the carriage and leaving.
As soon as the curtain of the carriage was lowered, the old princess couldn't help laughing out loud.
Today she beat old Mrs. Kang and made her so angry that she fainted on the spot. Her trip to the Marquis' Mansion was not in vain!
The people who served the old princess knew that their mistress was in a good mood, but she laughed out loud right at the gate of the Marquis's Mansion, which was not good after all, so they immediately ordered the carriage to move quickly.
Su Qingwan and Jiang both heard the old princess' laughter. The mother and daughter looked at each other and found that there was a smile in each other's eyes as well.
"Madam, we are leaving now."
Someone said behind the mother and daughter.
The two looked back and found that many people were about to leave. Almost everyone who had just seen Old Kang faint was about to leave.
"Okay, everyone, take care. We apologize for not hosting you well today. Please don't mind." Jiang spoke politely to everyone, looking very calm and generous.
Everyone got on their own carriages and left one after another.
It seems that nothing has been said at the moment, but it won’t be long before the news that the old lady of the Marquis’ Mansion was beaten and fainted from anger on the day of the birthday banquet will spread everywhere.
Su Qingwan sent the Han family mother and daughter to their carriage. Han Yue held Su Qingwan's hand tightly and said, "I'll send you an invitation some other day and invite you to my house to play."
"Okay, I will definitely go. Sister, please prepare more delicious food. I love it." Su Qingwan smiled sweetly.
Han Yue readily agreed and got into the carriage with her mother.
As soon as she left, Prince An came over on horseback, and with him came Li Yuncheng.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince An, and greetings to the Crown Prince!" Su Qingwan bowed to the two of them.
"Is Sister Yue'er here? Take me to see her."
Prince An said impatiently.
Su Qingwan didn't understand why he was looking for Han Yue, but she still said truthfully: "The Han family has left, and Sister Yue'er has left with them."
"Gone? So soon? Didn't your old lady allow guests to dine at her birthday party?"
Prince An was extremely anxious. He rushed here from the palace and thought he would be able to see Han Yue today, but he didn't expect that she was gone. It was too ungentle to hold a banquet at the Chengping Marquis' Mansion.
Su Qingwan was not angry, she just explained: "Something happened today, so it's not good to keep all the guests. But Sister Yue'er just left not long ago, if the prince has something to say, you can catch up with her and tell her."
Han Yue was with Madam Han, so she was not afraid that Prince An would do anything inappropriate.
"Yes!"
Prince An suddenly realized what was going on, and immediately jumped on his horse and chased in the direction Su Qingwan said. The young eunuch who came with Prince An also hurriedly rode his horse to catch up.
Li Yuncheng did not leave, but walked closer and asked with a smile: "Are you satisfied with the gift I gave you a few days ago, Miss?"
Su Qingwan thought he was talking about the box of jewelry from her grandmother. She hadn't given him the silver yet. She thought he came to her today probably to ask for money, so she smiled and said,
"Very satisfied. I'm sorry to have let you spend money. I'll give you the banknote later."
When Li Yuncheng heard this, he knew that she had misunderstood him, and hurriedly explained: "I'm not talking about that matter, and those things are just returned to their original owners. Miss Four doesn't have to pay me."
Su Qingwan tilted her head slightly, not quite understanding what he meant. If it wasn't this matter, then could it be that Su Yunrou was demoted to a concubine?
"Why don't we talk somewhere else?" Li Yuncheng didn't want to talk to Su Qingwan right at the door.
"Okay! Please come in, Prince!" Su Qingwan led Li Yuncheng towards the Marquis' Mansion.
He also knew his father, so it was normal for him to come to the Marquis' Mansion for Old Kang's birthday party today.
After Su Qingwan led the people in, she asked Linxiang to send tea and snacks to the flower hall. Zhenzhu and others retreated to guard outside, leaving only her and Li Yuncheng in the flower hall.
"In addition to my grandmother's things, the prince also sent an imperial edict?" Su Qingwan looked at him and asked.
This man was wearing a dark green robe today, with a bamboo leaf pattern that made him look very unique. He only wore a black jade bamboo hairpin on his head and a milky yellow peace and safety badge on his waist. Overall, he was very low-key and did not look like someone who often went in and out of the Imperial City.
"Su Yunrou is restless and has bad behavior. She was originally the Princess of Rui, but she had an affair with the Prince of Qi, and the relationship was unclear. It is a mercy of His Majesty that she was demoted to a concubine." Li Yuncheng said with a smile.
Making Su Yunrou lose her position as princess was also one of his ways to express his sincerity in cooperation.
Su Qingwan understood that it seemed that he was the only one who could do this. After all, the emperor would not listen to everyone.
Su Yunrou probably still hasn't figured out who pulled her down from the position of princess. But after just a moment's thought, Su Qingwan felt her mind clear and her expression happier.
"Thank you! But Your Highness does not know that living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. You have impeached the prince and the women around him in this way. I am afraid that the emperor has also become suspicious of you." She said generously. When she said this, Su Qingwan frowned.
She couldn't let this partner fall so easily. It was time to remind him. The prince was so smart that he would definitely know how to protect himself.
Thinking back to her previous life, when Su Yunrou married Prince Rui in great glory and eventually became the queen, but she herself was burned to death in the Zhang family's backyard after struggling in agony, she felt unwilling to accept the fate.
Fortunately, the Zhang family is now completely gone, and they are just waiting for the news of their exile to be sent back to the capital. I think the mother and son of the Zhang family would not be able to endure the suffering along the way and would die in the wilderness.
As for the others, he also sent them off one after another. Now Su Yunrou could only be the concubine of King Rui. It was so joyful that a couple made in heaven were about to become a couple of enemies.
She was looking forward to the day when Su Yunrou was sent to Prince Rui's Mansion.
Su Qingwan's good mood was revealed directly, and Li Yuncheng was also happy. After thinking for a while, he said, "Thank you for reminding me. I will find a way to show my loyalty."
Li Yuncheng's brows were twisted into a "川" shape. It was true that what Qingwan reminded him of was what he was worried about. But after a moment, Li Yuncheng said, "What does Qingwan think of His Royal Highness Prince An?"
"Why did you suddenly mention His Royal Highness Prince An?"
He doesn't want to get rid of Prince An? How can that be possible!
Li Yuncheng seemed to see Qingwan's concerns and immediately explained: "Qingwan, you misunderstood. The emperor thinks that His Royal Highness Prince An is old and it's time for him to get married and go to his fiefdom."
Li Yuncheng straightened his cuffs and said calmly.
[PS: This is the first big gift! The second one will be on soon, and the pearls will also be opened. Please give me all kinds of gifts! ]
