The wife of the female Zun Kuaichuan is a doting maniac

Chapter 1770 My Husband is a Fake Young Master

Su Qiruo was also worried about leaving him alone in the capital any longer.

Regardless of the Si family's considerations, the fact that they sent Si Qianling to Wufeng Mountain and made him suffer is their original sin.

Considering their years of nurturing and affection for Si Qianling, she could temporarily overlook the matter.

But that doesn't mean Su Qiruo doesn't care.

In such a large Prime Minister's mansion, if one truly wanted to protect someone, there were plenty of ways.

It must have been after weighing the pros and cons for a long time that they dared to treat Si Qianling so poorly, since they felt that Si Qianling did not have the blood of the Si family.

Although Su Qiruo was angry, she knew that now was not the time to settle scores.

"While you're staying here, has anyone from the Si family come to visit you?"

What appeared to be casual conversation was actually Su Qiruo probing the Si family's attitude.

Si Qianling lowered her eyes, her expression revealing nothing.

She said calmly, “My elder sister sends her personal guards to deliver some things and food from the manor to me at the beginning of each month. My father comes to Huangming Temple to burn incense in the middle of each month and visits me there, bringing some clothes as well.”

As for the others, apart from Si Jingchen who came to mock him twice, no one else came.

On the contrary, the Prince Yong's Mansion and the Empress in the palace would often send people to deliver some rewards. Although they were not very valuable, they were a kind of protection.

That's why, even though the rumors about the real and fake young masters were spreading like wildfire in the capital, no one dared to deceive him openly.

The elder sister Si Qianling mentioned is Si Qianchen, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family in this generation. She is about the same age as the Crown Princess and is considered fair.

She was preoccupied with politics and rarely concerned herself with matters in the inner quarters. When Si Qianling wanted to move out of the mansion, she personally tried to persuade him to leave, but seeing that Si Qianling was determined to go, she did not stop him.

She simply kept remembering to send things to Si Qianling, even sending all the silver charcoal from the household's allowance to the mountain. Si Qianling was quite satisfied with this elder sister.

She was fair by not showing any favoritism towards her newborn brother.

Meanwhile, Si Qianlin, the second son of the Si family, was still at the border. Si Qianling was the Ninth Princess's study companion. Since the Ninth Princess was going to the border for training, she naturally had to accompany her.

If Si Qianlin were here, she might actually say a few words in Si Qianling's defense.

Compared to the mature and steady Si Qianchen, Si Qianlin is closer to Si Qianling.

After calculating the time, Su Qiruo said, "We're busy in the twelfth lunar month, and the snow on the road is quite thick. I'm afraid the people from the Prime Minister's residence won't be coming up the mountain anymore. Let's move to the villa tomorrow."

There are many villas belonging to wealthy families outside the city. Su Qiruo herself owns three—one given by her aunt, the emperor; one by her uncle, the empress; and the largest one, given by her mother and father when she was twelve years old.

The largest villa has a hot spring, which was Su Qiruo's favorite place to visit when she was in Kyoto.

Si Qianling had also visited the place, and Su Qiruo had even said that when she went to the Prime Minister's residence to propose marriage, she would give the manor with the hot spring to Si Qianling as a betrothal gift.

A betrothal gift belonging solely to Si Qianling.

Si Qianling hesitated for a long time but still did not agree directly.

"If someone finds out I'm not on the mountain, what if someone with ulterior motives finds out you secretly ran back to the capital?"

He didn't want Su Qiruo to be punished because of him.

Although the position of Crown Princess is relatively secure, there is no guarantee that the remaining princesses will not harbor ambitions to seize the throne.

If this were to give someone a handle to use against them, it would not only implicate the Prince Yong's Mansion, but even the Crown Princess would be impeached.

Then the military merits they earned with their lives over the past year will be meaningless, and they might even be punished.
