After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

The emperor nodded, took out a white bone fan from his arms, and said to Shen Ruoyan as if recalling the past: "Little girl, you have grown up. It seems that Shen Shangshu has taught you well. You are gentle, demure, and knowledgeable. I remember You were not like this when you were a child. You spent all day climbing trees and walls, fishing in ponds, and you were more naughty than some of my princes."

The corners of Shen Ruoyan's mouth twitched.

I didn't expect that the aloof emperor could be so approachable.

After accompanying the emperor and saying a few common words, Shen Ruoyan's heart calmed down.

After talking about the past, the emperor turned around and asked, as if he had just seen Mrs. Su, "Why is Mr. Taifu here too?"

A drop of cold sweat slipped from Taifu Su's forehead when his name was called.

He came to Miaoyin Temple specially today, just to cut through the mess quickly and minimize the impact of the incident. Unexpectedly, he met the emperor who was on private patrol incognito by such an unlucky coincidence.

The old lady quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind, lifted up her clothes, knelt on the ground, and said risklessly: "I beg your Majesty to seek justice for my little he."

"Oh, it seems that I really came to the right place today." Compared to Taifu Su's fierce words, the emperor shook his bone fan, and his tone revealed the calmness of a superior, and said slowly, "Ai Qing, get up and speak. Well, let me hear what happened?"

Taifu Su stroked his beard and repeated the confusing words he just said, "I am also a person who loves and cherishes talents. I cherish Master Lu as the pillar of Daning, so I came here tonight. I wanted to meet Lu." Your Excellency resolved the matter privately, but Mr. Lu severely refused, saying that this matter had nothing to do with me at all."

After saying that, the old lady sighed deeply, looking like she had worked too hard for the country and the people.

If Shen Ruoyan hadn't known the truth, she would have been confused by his remarks and thought that Lu Yan was a bad man with no good intentions.

Shen Ruoyan looked at the main seat worriedly, and saw that after listening to Old Master Su's stern remarks, the emperor was still sitting on the chair and waving his fan slowly, looking leisurely and aloof from the incident, not affected by the Taifu at all. Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor was used to the friction between his ministers and was very familiar with this process. After listening to Taifu Su's statement, he asked Lu Yan, "Does Lu Aiqing have anything to say?"

Shen Ruoyan stood next to Lu Yan, feeling very nervous. For a junior to defend herself in something like this, it would be a little bit meaningless. It would be better for the elders of the family to confront her, but her parents are still coming. On the way.

Afraid that Lu Yan would suffer a loss, Shen Ruoyan thought that she might as well fake cry and talk about her grievances, so as to delay Lu Yan for a while.

As if he had read through her thoughts, Lu Yan quickly patted the back of the girl's hand, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, I also have a witness here. Can you send her up so that the Tutor can ask in person what happened last night? What's up."

With the emperor's permission, guards quickly brought the person up.

The woman was wearing coarse clothes and looked like an ordinary peasant woman. Shen Ruoyan didn't know what connection she had with this matter.

Lu Yan asked: "Master Taifu, do you recognize her?"

Taifu Su didn't reply, he just shook his beard and gave the woman a warning look.

Lu Yan turned around and said to the woman: "Tell the truth about what happened last night."

Perhaps she did not expect to encounter such a battle. The woman knelt on the ground and couldn't help but swallow. Then she found her voice and said tremblingly: "I have been a maid in the Taifu Mansion for five years. I was transferred the year before last." Go to the lady’s yard to serve..."

Hearing her voice, Shen Ruoyan immediately recognized that she was the maid who was with Su Xihe yesterday.

It turned out that after the maid left last night, she couldn't find Su Xihe no matter how hard she looked. She had a bad feeling in her heart, so she boldly went back to the small room quietly. The maid listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside through the door. I recognized that this was their young lady.

The maid knew that something big had happened, and she was extremely frightened.

In fact, if she could call someone at this moment, Su Xihe might suffer less, but the maid had seen with her own eyes how Su Xihe bullied her servants on weekdays. When she thought about it, the one who had her jaw dropped in Shen Ruoyan's porridge pot Dou, the maid who took the initiative to take the blame for the young lady after the incident was revealed. The scene where her sister was beaten black and blue by Su Xihe made the maid even more melancholy.

This time the young lady suffered such a big loss and didn't know how she would be tortured, so she became heartbroken and ran away overnight.

Unfortunately, he didn't escape far before he was captured by a man in black.

The man said that as long as she told the truth, she could save her life, so the maid naturally told him everything.

After listening to the trembling statement of the maid, the room fell into silence, except for the emperor who was still shaking his bone fan.

Suddenly, Mrs. Su slammed the table hard and asked the maid who was kneeling on the ground: "Why did our Su family treat you so badly? Why did you say such slanderous words to us?"

"Don't be angry, my dear, you still have two witnesses." The emperor slowly took a sip of tea and said to the two men who had been kneeling on the ground, "Tell me, you two, what happened last night? Remember, you must tell the truth, or you will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor."

The two people had been frightened since they saw the sudden appearance of the emperor. They also heard about the crime of deceiving the emperor and told them everything at once.

Seeing that the situation was over, Mrs. Su had no choice but to catch Lu Yan giving medicine to Su Xihe and said, "Is Mr. Lu not wrong at all? If you hadn't forced Xiaohe to take medicine, how could you have caused Xiaohe to lose his health?" clean?"

"Mr. Su, by doing this, Lu is just treating the other person in his own way. When he saw A Yan in such pain, Lu was eager to protect his wife, and he also wanted Miss Su to feel the same way and understand other people's feelings. It’s painful, but I didn’t expect that Miss Su had arranged other things, which was actually not Lu’s original intention.”

Lu Yan's words were plausible, and he also hinted that Su Xihe's current situation was all her fault. In addition, when Lu Yan spoke, he had such an angry tone that he would not pay for his life, which made Mrs. Su's face turn red.

Old Mrs. Su suddenly lost the aggressive aura he had just now. He wanted to show off his old face today, just to give the Su family some respect, but he didn't expect that his face would be slapped.

The emperor put away the fan and said: "I understand this matter. It is a coincidence that it ended up like this. Lu Yan, you were too impulsive and did not think carefully. I will fine you half a year's salary. Taifu Su, please take your granddaughter home." Go back, teach her a lesson, teach her a lesson this time, and never do such ridiculous things again in the future."
