Chapter 33 The Tyrant's Assassination
After Chu Jiang called him an "idiot," his next sentence was, "I understand."

At this moment, Qin Su still did not understand the meaning of his words.

The very next day, the scumbag prime minister was impeached in the morning court for "failing to manage his household properly, favoring his concubine over his wife, and being punished with a three-month salary reduction as a warning to others." Not only that, he was also ridiculed by his mortal enemy.

So much so that as soon as he returned, he lost his temper in Qingqiu Courtyard, and even disregarded the pregnant Aunt Qiu, severely punishing the "voiceless" Qin Wanrou.

That wasn't enough. He turned around and went to the main courtyard, where he had an argument with his wife, Zhang.

The implication was that the scumbag father suspected that the information was deliberately spread by the stepmother, since she was the head of the household and outsiders would not know without her instruction.
Of course, Zhang would not admit that the couple parted on bad terms after their argument.

To demonstrate that he was a person who "favored his concubine over his wife and did not understand etiquette," the scumbag father has been staying in his study these past few days and has not entered the backyard.

However, this also made the relationship between the main courtyard and Qingqiu courtyard increasingly tense, and the servants in the back courtyard were all in a state of panic, not daring to make any mistakes during this period.

No matter which master you fall into, you'll probably suffer a lot!

Even under these circumstances, the stepmother still sent someone to "pick up" Concubine Xu.

Aunt Xu has been locked up for a few days and has become much more "well-behaved".

Before they could even recover from the threat of being locked in the "dark room," the people sent by the lady arrived.

When she saw the door being pushed open and the fierce-looking old woman beside the First Madam rushing in with her men to take her away, Aunt Xu was terrified.

She almost ruined her knees kneeling at Aunt Qiu's hands, and then she encountered Madam...

Only now did Aunt Xu realize that without her daughter "Qin Sangsang," she would be the weakest person in the backyard.

"Daughter, daughter, Sangsang..."

She panicked and looked at Qin Su for help.

In the past, her daughter would always step forward to protect her at this time.

Sure enough, this time Qin Su understood her gaze and stepped forward as well:

"Granny Chen, may I have a few more words with my mother?"

The purpose of Chen Mama's visit was to "reprimand" the Third Miss, so she did not refuse this request:
"Please come in, Miss. But the doctor is waiting, so let's not take up too much time."

Qin Su nodded: "Mother..."

"I don't want to go. I can't go with her. If I go with her, I'll die. Do you know that, Sangsang?"

Before the door was even fully closed, Aunt Xu had already grabbed Qin Su's shoulders impatiently: "Sangsang, my dear Sangsang, I know you must have a way. Please help me, okay? If I leave, you won't have a mother anymore!"

As Aunt Xu spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Qin Su looked on without any reaction, and her heart didn't experience any strange emotions as before.

She felt even more relieved.

"But Mother."

Qin Su pressed down on Aunt Xu's hand that was resting on her shoulder with her other hand: "High risk brings high reward. You must have heard that Father has been in a bad mood these past two days since he was reprimanded by the Emperor. Even his most favored Aunt Qiu has not been able to see him."

Something flashed through Aunt Xu's mind, but she couldn't quite grasp it: "What did you say?"

"I said, if Mother seizes this opportunity and successfully conceives a younger brother for Sangsang, won't our lives change because of it?"

"Pregnant with a son..."

Aunt Xu was clearly tempted by Qin Su's promise, and her eyes gradually changed from confusion to fervor.

Because of the First Madam's deliberate suppression and targeting, she was assigned to such a remote courtyard and hasn't seen the Master for a long time.
Now, the opportunity has finally arrived...

Seeing that the woman was interested, Qin Su's smile became even gentler, even carrying a hint of seduction:

"Mother, you can do it. Believe in yourself."

So, when Aunt Xu and Qin Su came out of the room one after the other, the maids and servants in the main courtyard, led by Granny Zhao, saw that Aunt Xu, who had just been crying her eyes out and seemed to be dying, had now wiped away her tears, and her eyes seemed to be burning with flames, as if she was about to go to the battlefield.

How is this going……

Granny Zhao had her doubts, but she couldn't get the answer out of him, because the mother and son both said in unison, "Thank you, Madam (stepmother), I will definitely repay her."

Granny Zhao's lips twitched: This mother and son probably have a brain disease?

Before leaving, Granny Xu reminded Qin Su, "Now that Aunt Xu has been temporarily taken away, Miss Sangsang, don't waste any time."

Qin Su nodded: "I know."

After Aunt Xu left, the system finally spoke: [Host, was what you just said to Aunt Xu true? Do you really think she can succeed?]

Qin Su: "I don't think so."

system:【? ? ? 】

“Isn’t she desperately wanting a son? Sacrificing her daughter and being mean to her daughter are all for the sake of her non-existent son, so I’m just trying to help her out of kindness.”

Let her experience for herself whether "son" is really that useful.

Qin Su didn't tell the system what happened next, but the system, which was gradually getting used to its host's way of doing things, vaguely knew that things were probably not as simple as they seemed.

After all, it had seen the host submit an application report about "Aunt Xu" in the [Great Physician System] next door.

Name: Xu Meiniang

Age: 32 years old

Description of the condition: Excessive superstition that "having a son" can change one's fate led to abduction and abuse of one's own daughter.
Reason for application: "Preferring sons to daughters" is a type of "delusional" mental illness that requires timely intervention by a doctor.

Expected treatment duration: 3
other:……】

It even wondered why Aunt Xu's treatment cycle was so short. What did the host say?

She said, "Because her 'illness' is very easy to cure."

"Host, are you 'treating an illness' again right now?" the system asked, speculating.

Qin Su: "You're quite clever, aren't you?"

system:【! ! ! 】

The system knows!

The host never does anything meaningless!
"Today's dishes are a bit simple, please don't mind. I'll cook something delicious for you tomorrow."

When Qin Su carried her daily meal to see the tyrant, she looked somewhat haggard.

Chu Jiang found himself no longer angry, as if he had gotten used to this girl getting into trouble every few days.

"Tell me, what happened this time? Who bullied you again?" he asked sarcastically, his eyes already filled with certainty.

Qin Su was stunned for a moment: "No..."

"Think carefully before you speak," he threatened, narrowing his eyes.

She paused, then sighed, seemingly lost in thought.
“My mother was taken away by my stepmother. She said she would find a doctor to treat her and arrange for maids to serve her…”

Chu Jiang looked over and gestured for her to continue.

Qin Su's shoulders slumped slightly, and her brows furrowed: "This should be a good thing, but I'm a little worried..."

She forced a smile, looking rather pitiful.
