The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Chapter 84 Doubt

After hearing Su Wanqiu's words, Bixi felt that it made sense, and she couldn't help but nodded, but she continued: "But we obviously wanted to help her out of good intentions, but now it's a bit like we're begging her to come." Not happy."

Su Wanqiu tilted her head to look at Bixi and said with a smile: "I think it's okay. And she also took care of us. Now I think I may have gotten an unexpected surprise."

Su Zhu asked curiously, "Miss, what unexpected surprise?"

Su Wanqiu shook her head and said: "It's hard to say. I always think that Mrs. Ran will be of great help to me in the future."

Mu Xinzhai, Su Kanghui came here in a hurry after finishing the work at hand.

As soon as he entered the door, he waved to everyone to leave.Nanny Wang stayed as usual.Ready to serve the two masters at any time.But unexpectedly, Su Kanghui looked at her and said, "Nurse Wang, you should go down first too. There is no need to wait here for now."

Nanny Wang was also blessed and withdrew.Only then did Su Kanghui sit on the chair.The old lady smiled and said, "Is there anything important to say when you return home so early today and send everyone back?"

Su Kanghui looked around and was still a little worried, so he got up and sat on the old lady's wooden couch again.The old lady looked at him in surprise.

Su Kanghui lowered his voice and said: "Mother, do you still remember that before I returned to Ding You, there was a Sinong Shaoqing named Yuan Hesong?"

The old lady thought about it for a while, and she seemed to have a little impression, so she said: "I remember a young man. And there is a delicate and quiet daughter-in-law, who seems to be called Ran Niang. Speaking of which, I have been back to Beijing for so many years, why haven't I seen their family again?" .I remember that he was not as familiar with the former prince as you are."

Su Kanghui sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, that's him. Not long after I, Ding You, left, he was exceptionally promoted as Minister of the Household Department."

"Hubu Shangshu? But when you returned to Beijing, wasn't Hubu Shangshu already Master Xu?" The old lady frowned and asked in confusion.

Su Kanghui nodded and said: "That's right, when I returned to Beijing, Mr. Xu had already become the Minister of the Household Department. I was also very surprised about this. So I went to the officials I knew before to inquire, and only then did I know that Mr. Yuan was missing. .And disappeared inexplicably on the way to investigate the corruption case.”

"But the most strange thing is the emperor's attitude. The old man neither sent anyone to investigate and find someone. He also didn't send someone to investigate the corruption case. Instead, he directly arrested two people and put all the charges on Mr. Yuan. It is said that he falsified the accounts of the household department, framed local officials, and fled in fear of crime because he was exposed."

The old lady was very surprised when she heard this, and said in a low voice: "How could this be? Isn't it normal to investigate officials who are involved in corruption cases?"

Su Kanghui shook his head and said: "I don't know, but the officials of the DPRK and China keep this matter secret. If it wasn't for the fact that the lord I went to inquire about has a good relationship with me and lord Yuan, he wouldn't have planned to mention it. But That's not what the son wanted to say."

The old lady was taken aback: "Isn't that what you want to say?"

"Nian'er picked up a woman into the mansion today, does mother know?" Su Kanghui asked.

The old lady nodded and said: "I know, the housekeeper has come to tell me. That child Danqing also came to inform me. What's wrong? I heard it's a recent visit to the house The servant's mother. And she took four children by herself."

When Su Kanghui heard this, he couldn't help but wrinkled his brows again: "Four children? I saw the woman that Nian'er picked up when I passed the alley in the outer courtyard this afternoon. I don't know if it's my illusion or what, I feel that she and Yuan My lord's wife looks quite alike. And the most coincidental thing is that her child's surname is also Yuan."

The old lady also frowned: "You mean, you think she might be Lord Yuan's family? But I remember that Lord Yuan has no children?"

Su Kanghui nodded and said: "Yes, at least he didn't have any children when we left Beijing. And even if he had children after leaving Beijing, he wouldn't have four at once. Maybe it's because the son is suspicious, it's a woman who looks the same That's all."

The old lady looked at Su Kanghui and said seriously: "Are you worried that if it is really Mr. Yuan's family members, our family will be implicated?"

Su Kanghui shook his head and said: "I am not satisfied with this. I heard that His Majesty did not punish his family members. He just confiscated all his assets, but let his family members go. But this is also something I find strange .I always feel that there is something unusual about this.”

The old lady thought for a while and said: "If you still have any worries, then I will personally go and drive them away. This way, Nian'er's reputation will not be tarnished, and you will not have to get into unnecessary trouble."

Su Kanghui shook his head and said to the old lady: "I'm not worried that their family will cause trouble for us. What I'm worried about is that His Majesty actually came here for our family."

The old lady took a sharp breath: "You mean..."

Su Kang then nodded, sighed again and said, "It's very possible, but I don't know why Your Majesty suspected that he had fallen in love with Lord Yuan."

The old lady also sighed and her expression became gloomy: "It doesn't matter, this is what we will suffer after all. After all, all the high-ranking people have ambitions."

Su Kanghui sighed: "It would be great if the prince is still here. Our family doesn't need to go through these hopeless disasters."

The old lady also shook her head and said: "It's all over, and the prince is no longer there, what's the use of talking about it. If it's really because of our family that their Yuan family suffered this disaster, then we should treat them well. Tomorrow I will find out the details for you when Nian'er comes to say hello."

Su Kanghui took a deep breath and smiled and said to the old lady: "I'm sorry for the trouble, mother. Originally, I could go to this matter in person. But Concubine He Gui wanted to hold an autumn chrysanthemum banquet in He's residence. I asked the emperor to ask for help from the Ministry of Rites. Borrow a batch of ritual utensils, and let the Ministry of Rites supervise it. None of them are willing to take on this thankless task. So they pushed this matter to me. My son will be busy in the next month or so."

The old lady pondered for a moment when she heard the chrysanthemum banquet and asked: "Is Concubine He Gui wanting to hold this chrysanthemum banquet in He Mansion because she wants to show someone to see the girl? I remember that although the third prince is old, he only has two side concubines, isn't it?" ?”

Su Kanghui shook his head and said with a smile, "Mother, you may not believe it. This Qiuju feast is not for the third prince to see his concubine. It is for the eldest daughter of the He family to see his uncle."

The old lady was a little surprised: "The He family still uses the big girl to meet the uncle? With the conditions and qualifications of their He family, the matchmaker still hasn't stepped through the door frame?"

Su Kanghui sighed, shook his head and said, "It's good for me to be an outcast official, that is, I'm often drawn to gossip. Because I know that I'm not from that faction. Listen to them, this is the He family. At the beginning, the girl became crippled because she disliked the eldest son of the Huguogong's mansion. So she begged He Guifei to find a way to dissolve their engagement. I thought that the Huguo Guild would refuse to withdraw the engagement because of the heir's leg illness. But I didn't expect The prince readily agreed."
