Chapter 125 Bastard
"What are you talking about, Princess? We have been sisters-in-law for a few years, and we still have friendship! Yun Qing was murdered by a villain today, and her body is still lying in the Li Mansion, and her body is still warm. Does Princess want to watch her brother become a ghost?"
When he talked about the critical situation, he burst into tears and looked so pitiful.
Su He stood outside the carved hall, quietly watching Liu perform. When she had finished crying and had a break to catch her breath, she slowly walked in and asked with a smile, "Mother, I came at the wrong time and ran into the opera troupe? Oh? It was Madam Liu? Look at my mouth, I'm so confused. I thought they had invited a troupe to perform opera today!"
Seeing her coming, Liu slowly got up from the ground, stopped crying, straightened her clothes and asked, "Why are you here?"
She is an elder after all. How could she cry in front of a junior? How could that be disgraceful?
Su He smiled and replied, "This is my mother's residence. Do I have to make my return known to the public? I want to ask why Madam Liu is here?"
The word "come back" perfectly explains her identity.
Su He smiled gently, looking at Liu's speechless look, and thinking of the crying drama just now, she found it even funnier.
Without waiting for Liu's answer, she walked up to Zhaoyang, bowed, and said with lowered eyebrows, "Mother."
"Have you moved all your things?"
“Moved here.”
"Huai He will be gone for who knows how long. You will live with me and move back when he comes back."
"Listen to mother."
She kept calling him "mother" which made Liu scratch her ears.
Before she could ask the princess to save Lu Yanxiu, Su He suddenly appeared.
"Oh, by the way, you just said that Yan Xiu was locked up, right?" Zhaoyang pretended to realize it belatedly and looked at Liu.
Mrs. Liu said hurriedly, "Not only Yan Xiu, but also Yi Er and Jiao Er. They are the twins, boy and girl, and they are now four and a half years old."
"Ahe, do you have any way to rescue them?" Zhaoyang deliberately asked a difficult question.
Su He was not flustered. She glanced at Liu and replied, "Mother, you don't know that the Lu family is really a bunch of filthy people with evil hearts and bad lungs. I feel sick just by looking at them. I wish they would all go to hell. How can I think of any way to save them?"
"Su He, you're going too far!"
Liu slapped the coffee table so hard that the tea lid rolled off.
After a clang sound.
Aunt Tang ran forward distressedly and picked up the broken pieces of the tea lid. "Oh my! This tea lid and teacup are made of matching blue and white porcelain. The tea lid is broken, and the whole set of tea is useless. How much money is wasted?"
Zhaoyang looked up and replied calmly, "Old sister, you have to pay for it."
"How much...how much?"
Nanny Tang: "Not much, not much, just one hundred and seven taels. Since we are relatives, I will give you a small amount and just give you one hundred taels."
One...one hundred taels?
Liu swallowed and regretted his action, but now the things were broken and the princess asked for compensation. Could he still refuse?
"I……"
"Forget it, mother. Let's not embarrass the old lady. I know the situation of the Lu Mansion well. Asking them to pay 100 taels is more difficult than asking for their lives." Su He added appropriately, with some exaggeration. According to Liu's personality of wanting to save face, the next sentence would definitely be...
"I'll pay for it!"
Liu's face turned pale, and she said to Nanny Tang in an unnatural way: "I'll have someone bring the money later, and I won't owe you a penny!"
Nanny Tang smiled and said yes.
In fact, this set of blue and white porcelain tea set was made by the princess herself in a kiln many years ago. Due to poor craftsmanship and some flaws, it had been placed in the carved hall for 800 years without a single visitor. Today, the princess is in a good mood, so she is entertaining guests here.
She was naturally happy to get a hundred taels for free.
"Princess, I am willing to give the money, but Yan Xiu and the others..." Holding her breath, Liu still wanted to save them and just hoped that the princess would give in.
Zhao Yang waved his hand and said, "There is a rumor in the Eastern Palace that Lu Yanxiu's birth date is very auspicious, and his blood can be used as a medicine for the emperor, which has the effect of prolonging his life. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally not do anything to him, and he is now staying in the Eastern Palace."
"what?"
Liu stood up suddenly. Did she hear it right?
So, all the time she had spent begging for help and performing such a trick for so long was in vain? In other words, the princess knew Yan Xiu's whereabouts, but she still watched him play like a monkey?
Liu's face turned from livid to dark. She gripped the armrest tightly with her fingers and thanked him with gritted teeth, "Thank you, Princess. Then...what about my great-grandchildren? I asked around outside Xiuyue Manor. They were taken away by the Crown Prince's men. When will they be back?"
Otherwise, if Lu Yunqing suddenly came back and said she wanted to take the children out for another outing, Liu would never let her take them away.
I didn't expect that she would be so cruel and want to harm two children?
Su He cast his gaze over and asked softly, "Old Madam Liu is too much of a benefactor. She even wants to protect a bastard whose origins are unknown."
Zhaoyang and Nanny Tang looked at her.
Liu didn't understand why either.
"What do you mean...by saying this?"
An ungrateful creature whose origins are unknown?
absurd!
Yier and Jiaoer are the twins she is proud of, Yan Xiu’s biological children, the incense of her Lu family, and the descendants of the Lu family!
How could he be an ungrateful creature who is unaware of his origins?
"Such a simple sentence, couldn't Madam Liu understand it?"
Su He glared at her and asked again with a sarcastic look: "Liu Qiuqiu came from Jiaogui Tower. After Lu Yanxiu redeemed her, he was afraid that you would find out, so he secretly settled her in Xiuyue Manor. We have been together for many years, but she has never been pregnant. Why did she spread the news of her pregnancy after Lu Yanxiu and I agreed on the marriage?"
"That's Yan Xiu's blessing! It was God who had mercy on him and gave him twins! It must be you. Are you jealous of him? Are you jealous of my Yi'er and Jiao'er? Are you jealous that Liu Qiuqiu had twins while you have no children!"
Liu pointed at Su He, almost collapsed in a hideous state, and her words were even more inappropriate.
Nanny Tang scolded in astonishment, "Madam Liu! If you want to throw a tantrum, go home and don't embarrass yourself in the Princess's mansion!"
Afraid that she would say even more disgusting and dirty words, he winked and ordered the servants to escort her out.
"Ugh~"
Su He wanted to say something to stop him, but his stomach started to sour and he felt nauseous.
"Young Madam, what are you doing..."
Nanny Tang was knowledgeable and experienced, and she had served the eldest princess during her pregnancy and childbirth, so she could tell anything was wrong at a glance.
Pei Xia knelt in the hall and reported to Zhao Yang: "My dear Princess, the young lady has been feeling nauseous these days. She wants to sleep as soon as she touches the pillow, and she feels weak and sleepy when she moves. I wanted to see a doctor when I came back from my trip, but I put it aside because I was packing my bags..."
"Feeling nauseous and sleepy? Have you had a cold recently?" asked Nanny Tang.
