Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 38
"The Zheng family in Yong'an Town?" Su Yan narrowed his eyes.

"Yes." Xiao Mu continued, "My subordinates also learned that the Zheng family is the natal family of Miss Yun's stepmother. More than a month ago, Miss Yun set up a scheme to steal 1 taels of silver from the Zheng family. The Chamber of Commerce selects model merchants for the year. In order to avoid public opinion, the Zheng family had no choice but to cut their flesh and gave Miss Yun 1 taels of banknotes. At that time, the Zheng family lost the election, which was equivalent to their 1 taels of white flowers. The two elders of the Zheng family were furious and vented all their anger on Mr. Zheng. He was frozen, of course he was not convinced, so he thought of a way, secretly instigated his servants to pretend to be bandits to come and assassinate Miss Yun, with the intention of taking back their family's shop title deed in the county after Miss Yun died."

Su Yan understood, and the cold light in his eyes became more menacing, he beckoned to Xiao Mu, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Xiao Mu took the order, clasped his fists and said, "Master Jiu, please rest assured, this subordinate will definitely take care of this matter to avenge Miss Yun."

After a pause, Xiao Mu hesitated and said: "Jiuye, I just received a letter from Xiao Ji, saying that Mrs. Jingyao is not doing well recently, I hope you will return to Beijing as soon as possible, and go to Miss Yun's house to propose a marriage. I am afraid it will not happen." .”

Su Yan raised her eyebrows together, "Is my mother not well?"

"Yes." Xiao Mu said: "Xiao Ji didn't make it clear in the letter, and his subordinates didn't know what was going on. Thinking about it, it must be the trick of those concubines who often scheming, or maybe it was the old lady who didn't know what was going on." We can see."

Su Yan pursed her lips tightly, her expression very tangled.

He misses that woman to the bone, but now his biological mother has an accident, if he doesn't rush back as soon as possible, if something goes wrong, it will be unfilial.

Mrs. Jingyao was originally the fifth concubine of his biological father, Mrs. Su. Since he was born, he carried the humble name of a concubine and was bullied by his concubine all day long.

Ever since he could remember, he had vowed that one day he would stand out and trample all the descendants of the Su family who thought they were superior.

In order to let his biological mother live a good life, he suffered a lot.

I still remember when I was very young, in the remote Lilac Garden where my biological mother lived, at first, the mother-in-law would deliver meals every day. The mother-in-law was not coming, and the nanny in charge came over to inform them, saying that they had to go to the kitchen to get food by themselves.

Lilac Garden is a side courtyard, far away from the kitchen. When little Su Yan rushes to the kitchen with a food box every day, most of them are left with leftovers, and the women in the kitchen are all watching people order food. Dier's, knowing that he is a concubine and not favored, often took the opportunity to beat and insult him.

Once, Su Yan’s biological mother, Qu’s, caught cold in the rain accidentally. He wanted to go to the kitchen to ask for a piece of ginger to make soup to keep his mother out of the cold. Everything has to be paid extra.

Su Yan had no money, so the mother in charge threw the piece of ginger into the slop bucket and asked Su Yan to reach in to fish it. If he could get it, it would be his.

Su Yan didn't catch it, and ran back with red eyes. Qu Shi asked him why, but he didn't say anything, but secretly swore in his heart that one day, sooner or later, he would return ten times and a hundred times the humiliation he suffered today to those people.

The Su family set up a family school, but only the elder brothers and sisters who were born in the first place can go to study, and the children born by the concubine who are particularly favored by the concubine can also go in and follow the glory.

For a child like Su Yan whose biological mother is not favored, even daily food and clothing are a problem, where does the opportunity come from to read and write?
He was very envious of his brothers and sisters who could go to home school, but he was humble and had no qualifications, so he had to secretly go outside the school to eavesdrop. The reason why Su Yan could learn to read was because of this.

The Su family is the largest family in Shuntian Mansion, with a prosperous population, and because of the large number of people in the mansion, a humble concubine like him is often overlooked.

Therefore, Su Yan usually has no pocket money. Even if Mrs. Su suddenly came to give some rewards to his children, the so-called rewards would be peeled off layer by layer, and it would be his turn that he would not even see a shadow.

These things are insignificant to the Su family, so they will never reach the ears of Mrs. Su.

Only on New Year's Eve every year, when Mrs. Su puts the New Year's money into the red lucky bag and distributes it to her children personally, can Su Yan really get some pocket money.

At that time, for him, even a copper coin could be life-saving money for both mother and son, so, unless there was no particularly important matter, he was never willing to spend a penny.

Once, Su Yan bought a military book from a street stall for ten renminbi at the expense of the pain. He was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night, hiding under the quilt to read it secretly.

For some reason, his brother-in-law found out about this matter. On the second day, his brother came down to the Lilac Garden surrounded by a group of servants. Arrived at the military book.

To this day, he will never forget the extremely sarcastic look in his brother's eyes and the ridicule that filled the sky.

For little Su Yan, being ridiculed and ridiculed is commonplace. The only thing he can't bear is that his brother let the boys pee and soak his military manual.

That book cost ten cents, most of his savings, and it was destroyed just like that. He cried for a day, and finally stopped his tears under Qu's comfort.

Since then, little Suyan has become more taciturn, and his four-pillar pure yang fate has put a layer of shackles on his gloomy life. He has been neglected by the old master Su and the old lady, and the bullying by the servants has made it worse. Life in that remote courtyard that no one cares about is miserable.

Just when he thought he was hopeless in this life, when he was eight years old, the Marquis of Dongyang came to Su's house as a guest, and happened to meet little Suyan while walking after dinner.

Dongyang Hou Yunchong knew people with his eyes, and he saw at a glance that this child was different, so he offered to take him as his apprentice for the first time.

From that day on, Su Yan's fate began to take a turn for the better.

Following Yun Chong's experience in the army for seven full years, at the age of 15, he won the first battle by surprise. focus on.

The war at the border was tense, and Emperor Yonglong often sent Su Yan to quell the war.

Su Yan also lived up to the emperor's heart, and the good news time after time won him the full trust of Emperor Yonglong.

Finally, the imperial decree to grant an exception to the duke descended like an auspicious cloud on the most remote Lilac Garden of the Su family. In one night, Su Yan became the youngest prince in Nanliang from a bastard who was abused and bullied since he was a child. High weight, simple in the emperor's heart, has attracted the attention of the world.Even the fifth concubine who was never favored by the Qu family was directly conferred the title of first-rank imperial wife, titled "Jingyao", on an equal footing with Mrs. Su's official wife, Feng Shi.

Su Yan has been dependent on his biological mother since he was a child, and now that his mother has something to do, it is impossible for him to ignore it.

Squeezing the center of her brows in distress, Su Yan said: "I'll go back by myself, you stay and deal with the things I just ordered, and then return to Beijing after finishing."

After pausing for a moment, he took out a small porcelain vase with blue and white twigs from the small box next to the seat and handed it to Xiao Mu, "I don't know why Master is here, but he was indeed injured just now, and I can't go to visit you. Find a way to deliver this medicine to the doctor, and the doctor will apply it on him personally, so we don’t have to reveal our identities for the time being, so as not to cause trouble for Master.”

Xiao Mu took the small porcelain bottle and cupped his fists, "Your subordinate obeys."
