Chapter 198 It was her fault
Su Qingwan waited outside the flower hall for a while, and Qing Er came back quickly. He took two steps to Su Qingwan and told her the news he had found out.
After hearing this, Su Qingwan immediately curled her lips and smiled.
Their Emperor Wen Jin is really interesting. He wants to punish Su Yunrou, but doesn't want to do it himself. But that's okay. She will tell them everything the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict said.
In the flower hall, Su Zhiyi's face was still filled with panic. He couldn't understand why a mere official like him would be deposed by the emperor himself.
After this imperial edict came down, no one would employ him, not to mention being an official, even as a low-ranking clerk at the yamen.
He had thought that after becoming the father-in-law of Prince Rui, he would be able to wear the official hat securely. Who could have imagined that the emperor would personally issue an edict, completely ending his path to a successful career.
"Dad, why did the emperor suddenly issue such an imperial decree? Is it necessary to make such a big fuss to remove me from my official position?" Su Zhiyi asked.
The old marquis naturally didn’t understand, and he was also puzzled!
Old Mrs. Kang was struck by lightning, and tears streamed down his face instantly.
She has only two sons. Although the eldest son's official position was obtained through asking for it, he was still an official. It would be better for him to inherit the title in the future. But now the eldest son's official position has been taken away by the emperor.
The second son loves studying, but he has never passed the exam in all these years.
I had been counting on my eldest grandson to take the top spot in the imperial examination this year, but unfortunately he is now covered in wounds and has a broken finger. In this situation, even if he fails, I'm afraid he won't get a good score.
Now the only hope lies in Su Yueqi from the second house. I just hope that this child can have some prospects and earn an official position.
She would never admit that the child she gave birth to could not compare to the bitch born to Li.
But the reality is that Su Zhiru had a successful career, while her son's career was not smooth.
Mrs. Liu was so stunned that she didn't say anything. She always used the fact that Su Zhiyi was an official to suppress Mrs. Xiao Kang, thinking that she was superior to her.
But now that Su Zhiyi has lost her official status, Xiaokang will definitely laugh at her.
Sure enough, Xiaokang was staring at Liu with a look of anticipation.
"Sister-in-law, brother can finally spend more time with you at home, so you don't have to always say that he is an official and is too busy to come back to your yard every day." Xiaokang comforted her, but her words were full of teasing for Liu.
Liu's eyes suddenly turned red with anger. She grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it at Xiaokang's gloating face.
"Ouch!"
The teacup fell on Nanny Ji, causing her to scream in pain.
The teacup fell to the ground and shattered, and a small piece of porcelain happened to fall at the feet of the person who had just walked in.
Su Qingwan glanced at the broken teacup and said, "Aunt, anger is harmful to your health, so you should stop getting angry. Now you should think carefully about how to arrange your second sister's marriage. After all, it is a marriage to the royal family, and there are many rules and regulations."
Before Liu could speak, Su Yunrou couldn't stand it anymore and said directly, "You don't need to remind me. I have my own ideas about marriage."
Su Qingwan chuckled, "Second sister, if you had your own ideas, you wouldn't have been so rash as to make the emperor vent his anger on your uncle and cause him to lose his job."
"What do you mean?" Su Yunrou asked.
Su Zhiyi even stood up and asked loudly: "What do you mean? Do you know something?"
Old Mrs. Kang also asked repeatedly. Although the old marquis did not speak, he looked at Su Qingwan, and it was obvious that he wanted her to speak out quickly.
"Qingwan, be careful with your words." Su Zhiru frowned slightly.
This is the eldest wife’s private matter. As a junior, Su Qingwan should keep her mouth shut.
Jiang thought so too, and quickly stood up and wanted to take Su Qingwan away.
But Su Zhiyi and the others would never let her go. They stopped her and asked, "Third sister-in-law, let Qingwan explain clearly. Yunrou is my daughter. How could she harm me?"
Seeing this, Su Qingwan sighed heavily.
"Uncle, in fact, this was also told to me by the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict just now. There are many memorials from the censors on the emperor's desk, and the contents of them are all related to you.
There was the story of you spending a fortune on Concubine Hua, and the story of your elder sister being divorced and sent home, as well as the story of you discussing marriage with the Zhou family. Anyway, the eunuch said that there were a lot of memorials, and the emperor had been suppressing them, but he didn't expect that after hearing about the fight between Prince Qi and Prince An today, he would vent his anger on you."
Su Qingwan's tone was very embarrassed, but the last sentence about the fight between the two princes involving Su Zhiyi made everyone very confused.
Only Su Yunrou's face turned pale. No wonder the emperor dismissed her father from his official position. Was this a warning to her?
"Qingwan, the two princes are fighting. What does this have to do with your uncle?" asked the old marquis.
"When they fought, my second sister was also there, and she was with the King of Qi. The Emperor might be overthinking it."
As soon as Su Qingwan said this, the expressions of several people changed.
Both Mrs. Kang and Mrs. Liu were happy to see Su Yunrou and Prince Qi getting close. After all, the news that Prince Rui was locked up in the palace to recuperate had spread, and it was impossible for him to inherit the throne.
But it is different for the Prince of Qi. If the Crown Prince dies, the Queen will definitely support the Prince of Qi to take the throne of the Crown Prince.
If Yun Rou could be with the Prince of Qi, even if she couldn't be the princess consort, she could be a concubine.
The old marquis frowned. He didn't expect Su Yunrou to be so bold as to pick and choose among the princes.
Now that she is betrothed to Prince Rui, she should marry him obediently and be his good wife.
In this way, Su Zhiyi's official position is secure, and he can be promoted by working slowly in the future.
But what about her? She actually went to meet with the King of Qi and had a conflict with His Royal Highness the King of An.
What does the emperor think about this?
No wonder he directed his anger towards Su Zhiyi.
Su Zhiyi's breathing became heavier. He used to be overly tolerant of Su Yunrou because he hoped that she could help him, but what about now?
It would have been fine if she didn't help, but she also caused me to lose my job.
"Evil girl!" Su Zhiyi said angrily, and slapped Su Yunrou in the face, causing her face to swell.
This was the first time Su Yunrou was beaten by Su Zhiyi. She stared at him in disbelief, with an ambiguous look in her eyes.
"Master, how could you hit Yun Rou?"
Liu looked at Su Yunrou's face anxiously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was just a little red and swollen.
After Su Zhiyi finished beating, he vented all his anger. Only then did he realize what he had done and hurriedly looked at Su Yunrou's face.
Fortunately, no one was injured!
Su Yunrou's eyes were filled with tears, and she said with infinite grievance:
"Dad, don't be angry. I just ran into the King of Qi by chance today. My fourth sister was also there at the time..."
Su Yunrou spoke with tears in her eyes and a look of grievance. What she wanted to express was that nothing had happened between her and the King of Qi and they were innocent. But before she could finish, Su Qingwan interrupted her.
"Yes, I was at the scene, and I heard His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi say that he would give you a shop. He is really rich and powerful! I saw my second sister and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi exchanging glances, and they were so affectionate. My second sister is so lucky. She has the Prince of Rui loving her in front, and the Prince of Qi pursuing her and caring for her in the back. As her younger sister, I feel inferior to her." Su Qingwan said with a smile.
She was very sorry that she didn't earn the 100,000 taels of silver today!
