Chapter 1952 The Empress He Heng (160)

Sui Xingyue finally persuaded Sui Tangzheng, and only dared to come out to complain to Ari after he and Mrs. Sui rested.

"I'm wondering, am I being too capricious?"

"Do you regret it?" Ari asked.

"I didn't regret the remarriage," Sui Xingyue said, "I just regret it. It's too late for me to be sensible. If I had cared about my father a few years earlier, maybe I could have helped him."

"Don't think too much."

"You look down on me? Isn't the empress dowager also a woman?" Sui Xingyue retorted.

Hang Heng?
The little thing doesn't know who he is planning now, and the corner of Ari's mouth can't help but twitch.

"Are you laughing at me?" Sui Xingyue snorted, but quickly lost her momentum, "You're right to laugh, I'm really useless."

Ah Li said: "You can't chase after the past, but you can still persuade those who come. How old are you, and it's too late to do what you want to do?"

"You're right!" Sui Xingyue felt as if he had been beaten, "I told my father when I got back that I have to learn to take over his work in the gang."

Ali bowed his head and remained silent.

Mu Zi cooked the meal and greeted the two of them to eat.

Sui Xingyue also tasted very delicious with simple tea and light rice, especially a plate of unremarkable pickled cucumbers, which were crispy and spicy, full of flavor.

She finished a bowl of rice and added another half bowl, full of praise: "This little cucumber is delicious, where did you buy it? Did Uncle Mu make it himself?"

Ari said, "My mother made it, and asked someone to bring it to me from the capital."

After all, Su Qinghuan was worried about him, and her mother was worried about him, worried that he couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep well, and felt a burden in her heart...

"No wonder it's so delicious. When I have a chance to go to the capital in the future, I will bring a gift to visit her old man, hehe."

"My mother doesn't like being called an old man, but she likes being praised for being young."

"Huh? Haha, your mother is so interesting. You are not like your mother, you are a boring pot."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Mu Zi felt faintly worried.

Some things are not controlled by reason.

He told Xiaoluobu to let him investigate the private salt matter in another way, and not to have any entanglements with Sui Xingyue anymore; but Ari said that Sui Xingyue started to intervene in the affairs of their gang after all, it would be a pity to give up now, and insisted on continuing.

Mu Zi seemed to see the fangs of fate, his child, but walked forward without hesitation.

I hope that everything is what he thinks too much.

Ari returned to the gang with Sui Xingyue and Sui Tangzheng and his wife.

The gang had already heard the news of the divorce, but Sui Tang didn't mention it, no one dared to ask, and there were all kinds of rumors in private.

Sui Xingyue also cried a few times at first, but miraculously calmed down when she met Ahri's calm eyes that seemed to be able to isolate the turmoil of the world, and unknowingly imitated his calm appearance and responded calmly.

But as the magistrate Deng came to ask for Deng Haokun's Geng Tie, which was actually putting pressure on Sui Tangzheng, this matter could no longer be kept a secret.

Sui Tangzheng was very stubborn and broke off the engagement directly.

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, causing great shock in the gang.

Can cooperate with the government, who is willing to take risks with their heads up?

Especially after they were arrested twice by the government, the gang's opposition to Sui Tangzheng's blindly doting on his daughter and disregarding the overall situation gradually increased.

Every day in Sui Tang's main room, veterans who had been struggling together came to protest.

Sui Xingyue could only talk to Ari.

"Uncle Tang said, it's just a few maidservants, the Deng family is willing to kill them, why are they still biting them?"

"Uncle Sun said that he lost two people in his hands, what should he do to face their families now? It's all my fault."

"...Lu Li, do you know? They used to love me very much. I grew up in their arms and on their necks..."

"Lu Li, I'm so selfish, am I wrong?"

At the end of the sentence, Sui Xingyue felt choked up.

Ah Li said: "You are selfish, but aren't they selfish? How noble is it to use you to fill in holes for their benefit?"

The "peaceful coexistence" they want is based on sacrificing Sui Xingyue's happiness.

"But they really love my elders."

This was the most uncomfortable for Sui Xingyue.

Things didn't go as smoothly as she had imagined. She had never taken over the affairs of the gang before, and now she had just started, not to mention the overwhelming pressure.

She began to sink into deep self-doubt.

"People change. My mother said, you have to live your own life clearly before thinking about other things. If you sacrifice for righteousness, I don't advise you; but for the cowardice and selfishness of some people, your Sacrifice is meaningless."

He turned his head to look at her, and said word by word: "Drain your last drop of blood, and you will be mercilessly abandoned!"

No matter how loud the opposition in the gang was, Sui Tangzheng withstood the pressure.

His words were repeated over and over again, only a few words: "I don't seek glory by selling my daughters. There will be no Deng, but there will be Wang, Zhao, and the money is in our hands, so why panic!"

There is actually some truth to this statement, after all, if they can't get money to go to the capital to make a business trip, the Deng family must be in a panic now.

Now that the gang is screaming so much, it may not be that there are no spies bought by the Deng family.

This is a game to see who can persist more.

Sui Tang was losing, so she had to hand over her daughter; the Deng family was losing, so she had to grit her teeth and swallow the divorce.

But what Sui Tangzheng didn't expect was that Magistrate Deng and his thoughts coincided a little bit.

— That is, without Sui Tangzheng, there are others.

No one expected that the prefect Deng would find someone to borrow [-] elite soldiers, and surrounded them in groups, making a gesture of annihilation.

When receiving this news, Sui Xingyue was discussing matters with Ari.

Hearing that the Deng family wanted to destroy them, she was very upset, looked at Ah Li and said, "Lu Li, Lu Li, what should we do?"

She has been carefree for 16 years, how could she become calm, self-sufficient and resourceful overnight?
So the current panic is completely understandable in Ari's view.

"Don't panic, go and see what's going on first." Ari said calmly, "The magistrate has no military power. First go find out where these three thousand elite soldiers came from! Local officials cannot dispatch troops without the permission of the imperial court."

He didn't say anything else, the army operates independently, and shouldn't listen to local officials.

Now they got together in one place, either because they were in collusion, or because the imperial court had issued an order.

But he is here as an imperial envoy, the latter possibility is very slim.

But Sui Xingyue didn't know, she said anxiously: "Could it be that the imperial court regards us as bandits and plans to strangle us all?"

"Go out and have a look."

Ahri's calmness made Sui Xingyue calm down a little.
