Chapter 386 Hearing a Story

Su Wan was very surprised. Wasn't her grandmother in the nunnery? Why did she suddenly return to Beijing?

She saw the old lady, supported by her maid, enter a teahouse and frowned.

"I'll go down and take a look." Su Wan knocked on the carriage wall in a hurry, signaling the driver to stop the carriage, and told Gu Huaizhi: "You take Jiaojiao and wait for me in the carriage."

The carriage stopped, Su Wan jumped off the carriage and walked into the teahouse.

The storyteller in the teahouse held a booklet in his hand and said to the tea drinkers below: "Today's story is a bit fresh. It was spread at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet last night. I have always been known as the know-it-all in Beijing. I can't lose this reputation, so I will tell you a secret."

This sentence aroused everyone's curiosity.

Su Wan stopped and hid in the dark, listening to the storyteller: "In those days, there were many talented men and beautiful women in the capital. The most famous one was the Regent and General Qi's daughter Qi Min. One was a brave prince and the other was a heroine. The two of them showed their true love in times of trouble and secretly decided to spend their lives together. It was a sensation in the capital at that time and became a good story. Every young lady in the boudoir envied them. Everyone was looking forward to their marriage -"

"The Empress Dowager used a big stick to break up the couple and separated them. The Regent and Miss Qi broke up and became enemies. The Empress Dowager still refused to give up. She was worried that they would reconcile, so she gave Miss Qi a In order to completely sever their relationship, she chose Marquis Dingyuan from among the princes and nobles and invited the current Marquis Dingyuan's wife to the palace. The Empress Dowager used coercion and inducement to say, if your son marries the daughter of the Qi family, I will allow your family to inherit the title. "

"Madam Su was panicked at the time. If she agreed, the Marquis's Mansion would be glorious for another hundred years. If she didn't agree, it would be difficult for her family to gain a foothold in the capital. Moreover, a marriage with the Qi family was really too high for her family to marry. She quickly agreed and went to the Qi family to propose marriage. "

"Do you know what happened during the proposal?" The storyteller kept it a secret.

The tea drinkers were very interested in this gossip: "I don't know! Please continue, sir!"

The storyteller took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said: "This daughter of the Qi family is extraordinary. She is not as pretentious as ordinary young ladies. She directly told the old lady Su who proposed marriage, 'Xuan Lang and I have made a promise for this life and the next. Even if we are not destined to be husband and wife in this life, I will not promise it to anyone else. I can't help myself with him and have eaten the forbidden fruit. Now I am pregnant with his flesh and blood. I am the only daughter of the Qi family. I will give birth to this child to support the family.'"

"Old lady Su was anxious and consoled Miss Qi earnestly. If it wasn't for someone's instructions, they would never dare to propose marriage. If you are willing to marry into the Su family, the Su family will definitely treat the child in your belly as their own flesh and blood. meat."

"The Su family was sincere and humble, and Miss Qi was deeply moved. She also knew her situation, but she couldn't let the Su family raise a child in vain, so she proposed a fake marriage. After a year, she would cancel this ridiculous marriage and promise benefits to the Su family. Mrs. Su naturally agreed, and Miss Qi married into the Su family with a grand wedding. "

"It turned out that this was a good thing for both parties, but who knew that Su Jihong had a desire to possess Miss Qi and wanted to make the fake play real. How could this work? Miss Qi naturally refused to agree, but for the sake of the child in her belly..."

"Mrs. Gu... Mrs. Gu..."

When Su Wan was listening intently, someone suddenly called her in her ear. She looked back and saw a strange face.

"I... I am the owner of the teahouse. The storyteller told this story..."

Su Wan saw his panic, turned around and looked at the storyteller who was talking with saliva flying, interrupted him and said with a smile: "The story is well told, worthy of being a know-it-all in Beijing. He told such a secret almost accurately, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes."

The owner smiled awkwardly, feeling mocked, but Su Wan spoke sincerely, as if from the heart. He couldn't figure out the truth in Su Wan's words, and he was even more panicked.

In desperation, he told the truth: "This... This was provided by Mrs. Su."
