Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

Chapter 135: Fengyang Prefecture Flood

Su Rutang sensed something was wrong. The people of Nanli Kingdom were colluding with the servants of the officials of the Great Zhou court.

"Who is so bold?"

Shang Yan looked at Su Rutang with cold eyes, "Who knows, the Su family is also a possibility."

"impossible."

“You said it’s impossible, but what if there is evidence that the Su family is colluding with the Southern Li Kingdom?”

"Of course I know."

"Your Majesty only looks at the evidence."

Su Rutang was startled. He could easily find a pretext to accuse someone of something. "Do you know something?"

"So what if he knows something?" Shang Yan raised the corner of his lips. "The emperor hated Minister Su before he ascended the throne. He'd better retire and return home as soon as possible, otherwise you will always be lax. By then, I'm afraid General Su will be out of reach."

"Do you know what happened last time?"

"There is nothing that Jinyiwei doesn't know."

Su Rutang sat on the edge of the bed.

sneer:

"The emperor doesn't care about the common people, but is full of suspicion all day long."

Neither of them spoke.

After a long time.

Shang Yan just got up.

"Help me leave."

After breaking out in a sweat, Shang Yan felt like he was alive again.

Su Rutang changed his disgusting clothes without caring about the blood stains on them.

The two of them went back into the bamboo house along the passage, and as soon as they came out, they saw a pair of Jinyiwei official uniforms.

"grown ups."

"Lord Huo, you scared me to death." Su Rutang almost fell down.

Shang Yan grabbed her waist tightly from behind, "How many bad things have you done to be so timid?"

"Is Lord Shang so brave because he has done good deeds?"

"You are sharp-tongued, but you shouldn't be so timid." Shang Yan smiled weakly.

Huo Mi was a little confused.

When did Shang Yan become so close to Su Rutang? I remembered that something was not right between the two of them.

Huo Mi suddenly realized.

It turns out that my boss is the type who likes married women.

Huo Mi understood immediately and smiled, "Madam Zhou. Your maidservant is so anxious that she has been looking for you all over the farm."

As soon as Su Rutang came out, Chunxi's voice arrived.

"Second Grandma."

"I'm here."

Chunxi rushed in and was about to speak, but immediately shut up when he saw Shang Yan and Huo Mi.

He looked him up and down for a while.

"Let's go back."

Su Rutang walked out first.

After she returned to the main courtyard, she asked Manager Yun not to tell anyone about what happened today.

Su Rutang and Song Huaiyan ate lunch in a hurry.

The two returned to Zhou's house.

Before going to Zhou Mansion, Su Rutang went to Su Mansion.

She told Lan Xuanji to accept Song Huaiyan as her goddaughter.

Lan Xuanji herself likes Song Huaiyan.

I have had this idea in mind for a long time.

Su Rutang agreed immediately after hearing what he said.

It is said that it is better to have a good day than to choose a good day. The day after tomorrow is a good day. She will invite a few friends and set up a banquet at the Su Mansion.

Song Huaiyan hugged her and kept calling her mother.

"You stay with your godmother for a while. I have something to do with my grandfather."

Song Huaiyan pushed her out and said, "You should leave quickly. I will chat with my mother for a while. Please don't disturb us here."

Lan Xuanji couldn't stop smiling.

Su Ruyue, Su Rumei and Su Qingwan all came over.

Even the old lady said that she would go to her place later and chat with her.

Mr. Su was in the study in the front yard.

"grandfather."

"Tangtang." There was a painting in front of Mr. Su. "This is a masterpiece left by your father. Your father's painting was no worse than Mushan's, but it was a pity that he had a short life."

"Grandfather. I met Shang Yan at Zhuangzi today."

"he?"

Minister Su and Shang Yan had no contact. Shang Yan was the emperor's dog and was also a dog that the ministers in the court disliked.

"He said the Emperor was tired of you before he ascended the throne."

Minister Su's face changed.

The hand holding the brush was shaking. No old minister could remain unresponsive after hearing these words.

"Forget it. I have already resigned from the emperor. You can resign again when you go to court tomorrow." Su Shizhong put down the brush, "Tangtang, grandfather knows that you are a smart child."

"It's time to let it go."

Su Rutang turned his head away, "Grandfather. We will protect everyone in the Su family."

"Hey."

Minister Su waved his hand and asked Su Rutang to go out.

He sat alone in a chair.

Until evening.

He then stood up from his chair and opened the secret room in the study.

After entering.

Looking at the portrait of Crown Prince Li hanging on the wall, "Your Highness. If you were here, the Great Zhou would be a completely different place."

Minister Su knelt down and kowtowed.

Then he collected the hanging portrait and placed it in a secret cave in the secret room.

There were only some ancient books in the secret room.

He took a look, went out and closed the door of the secret room.

Get out of the study.

Minister Su locked the door of the study.

……

The court was shaken the next day.

Minister Su resigned again and again, saying that he wanted to retire and return home.

The emperor tried to persuade him to stay several times.

Seeing that Minister Su insisted again and again, it would be best to grant Su the title of Duke of the State, and enjoy the treatment of a first-class duke. He was also given a thousand acres of fertile land near the Su family's ancestral land, and a thousand taels of gold.

"Once my loyal ministers leave me, my heart will feel hollow."

Some of the court officials were delighted.

Some people feel a crisis.

Minister Su knelt down to express his gratitude.

Wait until the court is dismissed.

He walked in the palace, looking at the sky above his head.

I feel relieved.

"Duke Su, please stay." Secretary Shen came over from behind.

"I'm leaving in a few days. Shall we have a few drinks?"

"it is good."

The two have different political views, but that doesn't stop them from being good friends.

"I will definitely take good care of the safety of the younger generation of the Su family in the capital." Shen Zhongshu lowered his voice, "I will make sure Buli moves to another position in two years."

"Don't do that. It would be great if Buli could be the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple."

Ever since Minister Su knew that the emperor disliked him, he completely gave up the idea of ​​promoting Su Buli.

The two left the palace together.

Make an appointment to go to Sihai Restaurant for a drink.

*

Zhou Chengru was on duty.

I made an appointment with my good friends to go to Sihai Restaurant.

He does not hold a high position now, but he has real power.

Many people came to see him.

There was a flood in Fengyang Prefecture, and the emperor ordered the Ministry of Works to send people to Fengyang.

Zhou Chengru took on this task.

Back from Sihai Restaurant.

He went straight to Chuitang Courtyard.

"Su Rutang."

"What's the matter?" Su Rutang frowned, "Second Master. Why didn't you see Wen Yi?"

Zhou Chengru's face was indifferent.

"He went to study abroad."

"No. It's so sudden, did you bring the money and clothes?" Su Rutang felt strange, "Wen Yi..."

"He said he didn't want to stay in the capital. It's normal to travel and study, so please don't make a fuss about it, okay?" Zhou Chengru didn't want to mention Zhou Wenyi.

I wish I could kill him.

But he felt that letting him die would be too easy, so he allowed him to enter the palace and become the eunuch he hated the most.

"It's not me who's making a fuss. It's the old lady who asked about it."

"The old lady's health is getting worse day by day. The mansion needs to make preparations as well."

Su Rutang said this.

This made Zhou Chengru feel a sense of crisis.

"I'm going to Fengyang Mansion tomorrow, and I'll leave the affairs of the mansion to Chengzhang and his wife. As for the old lady, mother, please go and accompany her more."

Zhou Chengru looked at Su Rutang again.

"Rutang. Can't we turn back?" He took a step forward and wanted to hold Su Rutang's hand.

Su Rutang took a step back.

"Second Master is going to Fengyang Prefecture tomorrow, so he must have a lot of things to pack. I won't bother you from packing."

Looking at Su Rutang facing him sideways.

Zhou Chengru felt a chill in his heart. This was his wife.

How does she look like a wife at all?

"Your grandfather retired and returned to his hometown, and lost his position as a minister. Although he was awarded the title of Duke, this position in his hometown is just a nominal one." Zhou Chengru's eyes were filled with venom, "Su Rutang, you must know how to judge the situation."

"I can't compare to Doctor Zhou who lives a prosperous life."

"absurd."

Zhou Chengru left in anger.

Chunxi looked at Su Rutang worriedly, "Second Madam."

"Tell someone to lock the gate. We have to go to the Su Mansion early tomorrow."

"Yes."

*

The Su Mansion is a little lively today.

Several ladies who were close to Lan Xuanji, including Princess Anle, also came.

Shen Yunying, Princess Dongyang and several good ladies of the Su family came together. Everyone was curious about who Lan Xuanji's goddaughter was.

Lan Xuanji sent a letter to the Ningguo Mansion.

When the Ningguo Mansion saw that Minister Su had lost his official position and was only a nominal one, they did not want to interact with the Su Mansion any more and did not take it seriously at all. They only sent someone to deliver a simple gift.

Lan Xuanji knew that Minister Su had lost his official position.

Many officials did not come.

After all, Su Zhixun's rank as a general was not enough to allow their families to move around, so these people wanted to see which way the wind was blowing before making a decision.

Song Huaiyan was wearing a purple skirt.

There is a set of jeweled headpiece on the head.

It looks very valuable.

"Miss Song is really a beautiful lady dressed like this." Princess Anle presented her gift. "Your godmother recognized her daughter, so she is our niece. Feel free to use our name to bluff others in the future."

"Thank you, Princess Anle."
