Chapter 157 Taking Miss Su Home
Old Madam Su had just gotten off the sedan chair and was driven out of the palace, but before she got on the Su family's carriage, a strange yet somewhat familiar male voice sounded from behind her.
"Aunt, long time no see." Su Mo walked forward and greeted her with a bow.
After receiving the order from the War King, Su Mo had been guarding the gate of the palace. He was the first to know the news when Madam Su entered the palace, and he was the one who informed the War King of the news.
Old Madam Su has always been the pillar of the Su family. Now that the situation in the capital is unclear, Old Madam Su chose this time to come back and entered the palace as soon as possible. In view of the news he learned from King Zhan, Su Mo did not believe that there was no connection.
Old Madam Su looked back, frowned slightly when she saw Su Mo, then retracted her gaze and was helped by Nanny Su into the carriage.
Nanny Su turned back to look at Su Mo and said in a bad tone, "Master Su, you were expelled from the Su family a long time ago. It's inappropriate to call the old lady aunt."
"Madam Su." Su Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, a sneer on his lips: "No one knows what happened back then better than you, and I don't acknowledge it now!"
When the whole family celebrated that year, it was Nanny Su who was in charge of all matters.
Nanny Su must be aware of the trick involved.
"Master Su, please be careful with your words. What happened back then is over and has been concluded." Nanny Su said calmly, "Now that the old lady is returning home, I will no longer accompany you."
"A word of warning to Madam Su: things may change over time, so don't bully the young and weak." Su Mo, a young man who won the championship, was full of energy and ambition, but he encountered that kind of thing.
At the time, he was powerless to change the facts and even had no way to defend himself.
But now, after years of ups and downs, and having seen the world in the Five Cities Military Department, and now following the War King, the young man who once had no one behind him now has some confidence.
"Hmph." Nanny Su snorted coldly with a forced smile and got on the carriage.
Su Mo watched the Su Mansion's carriage vanish into the distance, his eyes filled with undisguised hatred. Even today, he still couldn't shake the Su family.
But Su Mo believed that one day the seemingly indestructible Su Mansion would collapse in front of him.
The opportunity came from the fact that Old Madam Su entered the palace at this moment.
And that day should be coming soon.
Inside the Su family's carriage, Madam Su's face looked gloomy. She grabbed Nanny Su's hand and wrote on her palm: Go back and find out how Su Mo is doing now.
"Madam, he can't get promoted. He's already at best in the Five Cities Military Department." Nanny Su mentioned Su Mo with some disdain. After all, she had been following Su Mo's news.
However, Old Madam Su wrote seriously on Nanny Su's palm: No, if he didn't have someone to rely on, he wouldn't dare to speak to me like that.
Su Mo had a confident look on his face just now, so he must be fearless.
Old Madam Su knew Su Mo very well. She was also aware of Su Mo's situation along the way. No one knew Su Mo's hatred for the Su family better than her.
This is a hidden danger for the Su family.
Must be eliminated.
"Then I will ask someone to investigate it carefully when I get back." Nanny Su said cautiously, treating this matter as a top priority.
Madam Su nodded and closed her eyes again.
The carriage moved forward and finally stopped at the Su Mansion. When Su Jian received the news, he was already waiting at the door and was the first to help Madam Su get off the carriage.
Shen had the courtyard decorated early and was waiting at the door. She felt both love and hate for Madam Su's return.
When Old Madam Su is not around, the backyard is her world.
Once the old lady returned, Su Jian was extremely filial, so Shen Shi had to pay her respects every day. In addition, the old lady was very particular about rules, so Shen Shi was always criticized.
But the return of Old Madam Su means Mingyue can be saved.
Although Mingyue dared to say such words to Shen and Su Ce today, she would never dare to say that to Old Madam Su. With Old Madam Su around, even the eldest princess would have to think twice about what she was doing.
"Mother?" Su Jian was waiting outside the car, but Old Madam Su did not get out.
After a while, Madam Su's voice was heard from the carriage: "Master, Madam Su asks you to get in the carriage."
Su Jian was stunned, looked at Shen, and then got on the carriage.
When Su Jian boarded the carriage, Nanny Su said directly to the driver, "Turn around and head to Prince Zhan's mansion now."
Su Jian looked at Madam Su, who was twirling the Buddhist beads in her hand with her eyes closed: "Mother, what are you doing——"
He guessed at this time that Old Madam Su was either going to see Su Jixue or to pick up Su Mingyue.
"The old lady wants to pick up the eldest and second young ladies and take them home." Nanny Su looked at Su Jian and said in a deep voice.
Su Jian opened his eyes wide: "To pick up the young lady? Mother, Ji Xue is seriously injured now, it is probably not suitable to move her."
Not only is it not suitable to move, but if you insist on bringing Su Jixue back, you will definitely offend the King of War.
"How can a daughter of the Su family stay at a man other than her husband's house?" Old Madam Su wrote something on Nanny Su's palm, and Nanny Su said it directly.
"Mother, that's Prince Zhan, and the Queen Mother has already issued an imperial decree granting the marriage. No one will say anything even if we live in Prince Zhan's mansion." Su Jian didn't understand what his mother meant. He could understand taking Su Mingyue back, but why did she want to bring Su Jixue back.
"The daughters of aristocratic families are all precious and they cherish their reputations as if they were feathers. If you let your daughter live in Prince Zhan's mansion, aren't you afraid of being criticized and accused of selling your daughter for fame and fortune?"
Nanny Su's words hit Su Jian in the face, making his face look ugly and extremely embarrassed: "Mother, it shouldn't happen so suddenly."
"The assassination of Prince Zhan was an accident, but Ji Xue had already moved into Prince Zhan's mansion before that. How do you explain this?" Nanny Su asked on behalf of Old Madam Su.
"The Su family has two daughters, but they can make such a fuss. It's really laughable."
"Fortunately, the assassination of the War King diverted everyone's attention, otherwise the reputation of the Su family's daughter would have been ruined."
Nanny Su's words one after another made Su Jian freeze on the spot.
He looked at his mother in surprise and doubt. He had not expected that Old Madam Su would have so many opinions on this matter. "Mother, is there something wrong with this trip?"
Su Jian suspected that his mother had obtained some information after entering the palace, which was why she acted like this.
That's true. After all, the imperial decree granting the marriage was issued after Old Madam Su entered the palace. Su Jian originally thought that it was something that Old Madam Su asked for.
But now it seems that is not the case.
"The engagement with King Zhan is inappropriate. If there is a chance, it would be better to cancel it." Nanny Su felt the words written by Old Madam Su and spoke in a low voice.
Su Jian looked at Madam Su in disbelief. He had not expected to hear such words: "That is the imperial decree."
Madam Su opened her eyes and looked at her son with a mocking look in her eyes. Her fingers wrote rapidly on Nanny Su's palm. Nanny Su turned her head and glanced at Madam Su cautiously before continuing, "The imperial decree ordered the Su family to die. Are you willing to accept this?!"
Su Jian held his breath and his face suddenly turned pale.
Nanny Su then continued, "The old lady said to take the eldest and second young ladies home first, and then we can discuss the rest when we get home."
