434: Showdown

Master Weng II's face was very ugly, and he stared at his sister and asked, "Do you think so too? Don't you know how good your family has been to you for so many years? You let your son talk to me like this?"

Mrs. Weng was about to speak, but she heard her son say, "Be good to my aunt? If you really treat my aunt well, you shouldn't let her be a concubine, and you should let me, as a son, call her mother instead of aunt! Is this the good of the Weng family? I think this is just good."

Mrs. Weng and Master Weng II's faces were very ugly. There was a comparison, and then Master Weng II said angrily: "Do you think the family didn't stop her at the beginning? She was the one who insisted on being someone's concubine."

"That was not really to stop it. If you had the intention of plotting against my aunt and my brother and sister now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have done it at the beginning. In the final analysis, didn't the Weng family also think that the Su family was a good match, but being a concubine was not glorious, so you always talked about the life-saving grace."

Su Chu's words were very harsh, and Master Weng II almost fainted.

Aunt Weng looked at her son and wanted to say something, but when she saw her son shaking his head at her, Aunt Weng suddenly had an idea and immediately looked at her second brother and said, "Chu'er is right. I was on a hunger strike at the beginning, but the eldest and second sisters-in-law secretly sent me food and comforted me that I did the right thing. Over the years, I have been grateful for the friendship of the Weng family, so I cried and wanted to marry my daughter back and wanted my son to marry the daughter of the Weng family."

The second master Weng's expression changed, "This matter has nothing to do with us. It was you who wanted to send the child back to the Weng family."

Aunt Weng's heart sank when she heard this. This matter was almost the biggest gap between the three of them, mother and son. She cried and said, "Yes, I was obsessed and wanted to marry the child back. Sending her back to the Weng family is not just to get closer to her family. But, second brother, you have to be conscientious. If you don't agree, can I do this? My sister-in-law doesn't like this marriage on the surface and doesn't want her son to marry my daughter, but the housekeeper next to her said that she didn't think so in her heart. She was just afraid that people would think it was shameful for the eldest son of the Weng family to marry a concubine's daughter, so she pretended to dislike this marriage for the sake of face. Tell me, is this true? "

Su Chu didn't know there was such a hidden story. He and his sister always thought that it was the aunt who wanted to find a backer for herself and wanted to continue to rely on the Weng family, so she insisted that his sister marry back.

Su Chu was young after all, and he couldn't hold back at this time. He looked at Master Weng Er with anger, "So it's like this, good, really good, the Weng family has two faces, it's really eye-opening, what do you think of our Su family? How many times can you be allowed to plot? I'm going to tell my father about this, I want to see how the Weng family will explain to the Su family!"

"No!"

"Chu'er, no!"

Master Weng Er and Aunt Weng shouted almost in unison.

Su Chu sneered and looked at Aunt Weng, "Aunt, are you still confused now? The Weng family didn't take you seriously from the beginning. Maybe since you had to follow your father, they didn't regard you as a proper girl of the Weng family!"

Aunt Weng is such a smart person, she is not stupid, in fact, she had vaguely understood it many years ago, but she didn't want to believe it and kept deceiving herself.

At that time, her relationship with the Third Madam was very bad, and she had no way out and no one to rely on in the entire Duke's Mansion. Even if it was the man she liked, even if the Third Master liked her, he would not let the Third Madam lose face for her. She really felt very difficult during those years, so her natal family was her only support.

She had been telling herself this for so many years, and she did it this way. Now that her son had split this bubble with a palm, Aunt Weng felt that her disguise from head to toe had been torn apart, and this was her last dignity, and it was gone.

Aunt Weng's body softened and she sat back in the chair, tears silently flowing down her eyes.

Su Chu's eyes turned red when he saw this, so he hated the Weng family even more. He looked at the second master Weng and said angrily: "This is the last chance for the Weng family. I just conveyed my father's intention. If the Weng family is willing to cooperate, there is at least a bright way out. If they are stubborn, then don't blame the Su family for turning their backs on them."

Su Chu went over to help Aunt Weng up, "Aunt, before I went out today, my mother called me and told me that my marriage would be settled soon, and you, as an aunt, should also go back to the mansion. My mother also had someone clean up the yard where you used to live. Please go back with me."

Aunt Weng looked up at her son, and the corners of her mouth twitched, wanting to smile, but her smile was uglier than crying.

She used to be eager to return to the Duke's Mansion, but now she didn't want to go back at all.

However, if she didn't go back, after her son got married, how could the young couple raise their heads in the mansion? And her daughter was also implicated by her in this matter, and she had to run around while pregnant.

Aunt Weng always thought that she could help her family, but she added insult to injury at the critical moment. She was sorry for her children who reached out and pulled her off the cliff for her own selfish interests.

Aunt Weng always thought that her choice was right, but only at this moment did she regret it.

If she hadn't fallen in love with the Third Master at first sight and hadn't insisted on using his life-saving grace to coerce him, given the situation of the Weng family at that time, she could have married a good family of equal status, and her children would have been legitimate heirs, able to hold their heads high and stand in front of people.

Aunt Weng tried hard not to cry, but tears fell one by one, and she couldn't stop them.

"Auntie." Su Chu took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears gently, "Don't worry, my mother personally asked someone to clean up the yard for you, just because she is willing to let you go back home. As long as you live a good life after you go back, the future will be better. of."

When Mr. Weng Er saw it, he immediately said: "Little sister, just listen to this. Don't think about it. You have been fighting with Mrs. Su San for your whole life, and she can let you go so easily? Don't be confused."

Su Chu raised his head and looked at Master Weng Er coldly, "I don't think there is any need to talk about what Master Weng Er said today. I will take my aunt back and report back to my father so that he doesn't have to worry about the old relationship anymore. Deal with it as you like, Auntie, let’s go!”

Su Chu supported Aunt Weng and walked out. Mr. Weng Er was about to stop her, but he didn't expect that Su Chu was no longer the weak scholar. He bumped his shoulder hard, and Mr. Weng Er, who had been indulged in drinking and drinking for so many years, staggered. Almost fell to the ground.

Aunt Weng did not look back this time and followed her son.

Without looking or listening to her second brother's uncomfortable words, she walked out of the second door. Aunt Weng stopped and looked up at her son, "Chu'er, you..."

"Aunt." Su Chu was now a head taller than Aunt Weng. He looked down at her slightly, his eyes slowing down, "Go home with your son."

Aunt Weng's lips trembled. She had no shame in going back, but she had to go back.

Su Chu helped Aunt Weng get into the carriage and asked people to take a look at Mr. Weng Er. It seemed that he was still too young to control people. It was better for his father to handle this matter.

It was already the next day when Su Xinyi knew about this, and she felt quite sad. Looking back, she thought that Aunt Weng had gone all the way in her previous life, but the most important thing was that Su Xixian married back to the Weng family. The mistake had been made and there was no turning back. .

In this life, Su Xixian did not marry into the Weng family, so things took a turn for the better, and this time she was able to change her position in time to protect her children, which can be regarded as a bit of a mother's consciousness.

"What happened to Aunt Weng in the end?" Su Xinyi looked at Yan Junchu and asked.

Yan Junchu pinched a chess piece and dropped it on the chessboard, then he said: "Su Chu is still not ready, your third uncle took care of the matter. With Mr. Weng's temperament, there is no way he can withstand the intimidation of his third uncle."

"Then the Weng family is willing to testify? What evidence is there?" Su Xinyi was most concerned about this.

"Although the Weng family is in decline, they still have the background and knowledge of a great family. They are not people that King Yi can fool with a few words. The Weng family has a letter and a token in their hands."

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, "In this case, King Yi should be really worried."

Lu Minglin took care of the granary matter, but now that Yan Ling has filed a complaint, and now the Weng family has received another blow, if Xu Yurong and Master Minghui relent, King Yi will definitely not have to run away this time.

"I just want him to jump over the wall in a hurry." Yan Junchu looked at the chess pieces that Su Xinyi dropped. This was not like a chess move for someone who was not very good at chess. He followed suit and dropped a piece leisurely.

Su Xinyi's mind was not on the chessboard at all. She held the chess piece between her fingers, but her eyes were in a daze. She slowly said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy this time. Xu Yurong is working as a lackey for King Yi because she is in the capital." There is no way out. No matter what, her reputation has been ruined. Instead of betraying King Yi, I think with her temperament, she will probably end up in trouble. As for Master Minghui, it is even harder to say. She has been lurking in the capital for so many years. Will not betray easily."

"What you said makes sense, but you still have to give it a try. People always have shortcomings." Yan Junchu picked up the eaten chess piece and smiled, "You lost this game."

Su Xinyi was not annoyed and put down the chess piece, "Your Highness is amazing."

Yan Junchu shook his head and put the chess pieces back into the chess box, "There has been some movement on King Yi's side. He probably wants to get Li Ji back to the capital. Now someone is interceding for him in front of the emperor. It should be Taishi Li's people."

Su Xinyi frowned, "I just don't understand how King Yi can be so capable and get involved in everything."

"It's not King Yi, but the connections left by King Lao Yi." Yan Junchu said, "You have never met King Lao Yi. When the late emperor was in power, the court was unstable and the battle for the throne was fierce. King Lao Yi Although he was the youngest son of the late emperor, he was very shrewd and cautious. Later, he stood unequivocally on his father's side and strongly supported his father, so his father ascended the throne. Going to Suizhou, which was not a fertile land at that time, was tantamount to exiling myself in disguise."

Su Xinyi really didn't know this and listened to His Highness quietly.

"As the youngest son of the late emperor, the late emperor was very fond of King Lao Yi. However, in order to protect himself, King Lao Yi showed no interest in the throne, thus deceiving many people."

Su Xinyi understood somewhat when he heard this. He looked at Yan Junchu and said, "King Lao Yi chose to take a step back back then, but he did not really have no intention of competing for the throne."

The prince nodded slightly.

So, what is there not to understand.

Su Xinyi added: "Then it's really curious. What method did King Yi use to make the old King Yi not only pass on the title to him, but also give him his connections?"

Yan Junchu put his fingertips on the table and smiled and said: "King Yi acted viciously, probably threatening Yan Ling's life. The old King Yi loved his eldest son very much, and in order to save his life, he used this in exchange That’s understandable.”

Su Xinyi thought that what His Highness said made sense, "However, since King Yi has passed away for so long, King Yi can still leave Yan Ling, because King Yi's temperament should not be like this, that is, he is afraid. It seems that Old Yi King Yi probably has some backup plans, but Yan Ling doesn’t seem to know.”

Yan Junchu looked at Xin Yi, "If you have met Yan Ling, you will understand. His temperament is really not suitable for these battles. He was raised by King Lao Yi to be a little too naive. After suffering a big loss, he went too far. Who is he treating now? They are all suspicious."

Su Xinyimo, if that's the case, it's hard to say.

The two looked at each other and smiled in unison.

Yan Junchu said: "Don't worry too much. Since the Weng family has stepped forward, there will be a fire on the King's side tomorrow without waiting."

"Didn't His Highness say that Taishi Li's people took action?"

"Li Ji hasn't returned to Beijing yet, and we don't know whether King Yi's promise is true or false. Master Li is so cunning and will not easily get involved in danger. If King Yi is really going to fall, he will definitely not come to rescue him."

Looking at Xin Yi at this point, Yan Junchu smiled and said: "If you say this, thank you for telling me the news. I have already sent people to Li Ji's place of exile. It is not easy for them to get people away."

Su Xinyi didn't expect His Highness to arrange for someone to go there so quickly. She said, "Then if Your Highness arranges for someone to go there, will anyone notice?"

"It doesn't matter." Yan Junchu wasn't too worried, "If we can catch King Yi's people in action, it won't matter even if others find out. If King Yi's people don't take action, our people won't show up."

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, "This is best, what will my father do?"

"Let's see how the courtiers quarrel. They will probably have to quarrel until the end of the New Year, and some of them will have to wait."

Hearing the sarcasm in His Highness's tone, Su Xinyi couldn't help but almost laughed, "It happens to be the Chinese New Year, so just think of it as watching a show. Anyway, it's not us who are being roasted on the fire."

Su Xinyi paused after saying this, "But, does it matter if Yan Qiongsi's matter is really spread out?"

"It doesn't matter, just let people do it."

"I didn't do it, it was Princess Rong."

"With Zheng Guogong here, it's okay." Yan Junchu raised his eyes and looked at Xin Yi, "It's not okay either. The Queen is probably looking for you. Yan Qiongsi will probably try to make a profit. Just move Prince Rong out and let the Queen Suppress this feeling.”

Listening to His Highness's tone, Su Xinyi knew that he was angry, so she nodded gently in agreement.
