Su Wanti thought about it and felt that the system was right. She suppressed her anger and waited for a few more days.

She didn't expect that instead of waiting for the news that Earl Yongning was reinstated, she received the news that her brother was reprimanded by the emperor.

As soon as the system finished reporting to Su Wanti, Su Yue's face turned pale and she pushed the door open in panic. She was so anxious that her voice was incoherent.

"Miss, I heard that the eldest son was reprimanded by the emperor. The emperor returned the eldest son's greeting letter intact. The emperor also told the eldest son to read history books carefully, learn from history, and not repeat the mistakes of the past."

Su Wanti didn't know what the emperor was going to do, and her eyes were gloomy.

She frowned slightly, and found a problem. The system was the fastest at detecting news, but just as the system conveyed the news to her, Su Yue, a little maid who lived in the most remote courtyard of the backyard of the Marquis's Mansion, heard the news.

"Su Yue, don't be anxious. Tell me, who told you this news?"

Su Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said carefully:

"I went to get some midnight snacks and passed behind the Marquis' study. I heard the eldest son's name, so I secretly hid under the study window and eavesdropped. Then I heard the Marquis talking to the son-in-law about the eldest son. I heard that something happened to the eldest son, so I didn't continue listening and quickly ran back to report to the young lady."

"They are well-informed." Su Wanti sneered.

Her father and brother had been in trouble one after another, and she could not wait any longer. She stood up and said coldly, "Su Yue, let's pack up and go back to the Earl's Mansion."

The original owner's brother, Su Shaoxuan, has been stationed at the frontier, and his father is trapped in another place for investigation and cannot return to Beijing. Now there are only the original owner's mother and the sinister concubine Liu in the mansion.

Su Wanti went to a farm outside Beijing on the second day after her wedding. Su Ruohua and Xiao Huaihe returned on the third day.

She only wrote one letter to her mother, in which she told her mother about the situation in the Marquis' Mansion and Su Ruhua.

Now her mother was alone in the house, she must be confused and worried. She had promised her master to take good care of her family, so now she should go back to the Earl's Mansion to comfort her mother.

"But miss, it's night now."

"It's okay, go and prepare the carriage."

Su Yue nodded hurriedly and went downstairs to prepare.

The temperature dropped sharply after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was even more bitterly cold in the middle of the night. Su Wanti found a cloak with dark patterns on a silver background and was about to put it on when suddenly the window of the inner room opened and a bleak autumn wind swept in.

Along with the autumn wind came a tall and majestic black figure, it was Emperor Xiao Ping.

He had a handsome face and walked towards Su Wanti with big strides, carrying the chill of the autumn wind.

"Are you going back to the Earl's Mansion this evening?"

The man's low but slightly warm voice suddenly sounded in Su Wanti's ears.

Su Wanti was startled, turned around, and met the man's smiling dark eyes.

"Your Majesty!" She was surprised and bent over to salute, but Emperor Xiao Ping grabbed her and held her in his arms.

The cold breath of the autumn night lingered at the tip of her nose. Her soft body pressed tightly against the man's coat, which was still cold. She couldn't help but sneeze.

"It was my fault for being careless. It's cold till late at night." Emperor Xiao Ping's eyes were so gentle that tears could drip out of them.

He let go of Su Wanti, took off his black coat in a few seconds, threw the coat aside, and then eagerly hugged the woman in his arms.

Emperor Xiao Ping practiced martial arts all year round, and had a strong body, broad shoulders and chest. The high-quality black brocade clothes he wore made him look dignified and majestic.

It’s really different from before, Su Wanti thought secretly.

Facing such a handsome and heroic man, she couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart. When she looked at the man, her eyes were filled with tenderness that softened her heart.

In the inner room, Su Wanti was wearing only an everyday crescent-white plain jacket with floral patterns, a smoky-colored long skirt, and no makeup on her face.

Her little face is as white as jade, her eyes are as gentle as smoke and water, and her whole person is soft, gentle, elegant and graceful, just like the clouds in the sky, and as beautiful as a fairy.

Emperor Xiao Ping felt the warmth and softness of the woman's thin clothes, and recalled her soft, sweet and sticky taste. His Adam's apple moved, and he stroked the back of the woman's head with his big hand, lowered his head and was about to kiss her.

The woman refused and covered his lips with her fair hands.

There were tears in her eyes, as well as confusion and sadness. She shook her head gently, "Your Majesty, no."

Seeing the man stop moving, Su Wanti sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I am going back to the Earl's Mansion. I heard about my father and brother. Now my mother is the only one in the mansion. I am worried about her."

It turned out to be the case.

Emperor Xiao Ping lowered his eyes slightly, took the little hand from his lips into his palm, took it off, and said softly: "Don't worry, Wan'er, you can return to the Earl's Mansion in a few days, and you don't have to waste your time in this Marquis' Mansion anymore."

Su Wanti frowned, "Your Majesty, do you mean that Xiao Huaihe will divorce me in the next few days?"

Emperor Xiao Ping chuckled and did not comment. He placed the woman's soft, boneless hand on his chest, letting her feel his vigorous heartbeat and hot body.

"I said I would solve this matter, Wan'er, you have to believe me. I endured the hardship and finally sneaked out of the palace to see Wan'er. Shouldn't Wan'er give me some benefits?"

Desire surged in the man's eyes, and he pulled Su Wanti and tried to get close to her again. Su Wanti frowned and this time covered her lips with both hands.

The man was puzzled. Su Wanti put down her hand and said softly, "I know that I shouldn't ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but now, my father has been impeached and my brother has been scolded by His Majesty. I am terrified. How can I feel at ease..."

Hearing this, Emperor Xiao Ping understood. He pulled Su Wanti to sit on the couch, stroked her cheek with his hot palm, and whispered:

"Since it is your family's business, I will tell you. You must not tell anyone else. I have already discussed the matter with your father and brother in advance. They are doing a great thing for me. Don't worry."

Su Wanti only believed half of what he said.

The closer she got to him, the more she felt he was unfathomable. People always say that a man's heart is hard to predict, and now she has some understanding of this.

However, at this moment she could only pretend to believe it completely. She blinked her watery almond eyes, looking innocent and innocent, as if she completely trusted the man in front of her.

Su Wanti nodded and said softly, "I believe in Your Majesty."

"Shouldn't you give me some benefits that night--" Emperor Xiao Ping's eyes were filled with desire and he leaned forward.

Outside the door, Su Yue prepared the carriage and ran towards the young lady's inner room, calling softly as she ran, "Young lady, the carriage is ready, please come out quickly!"

At this moment, Su Wanti was sitting astride Emperor Xiao Ping's lap, her clothes disheveled and her shoulders half exposed.

I was so overwhelmed by the kiss that I didn't know what year it was.

We must not let Su Yue see this ridiculous scene.

Just as the door of the inner room was about to be pushed open, she shouted urgently, "Su Yue, don't come in, um - I won't go back to the Earl's Mansion today - I'll go back in a few days, um -"

----

Marquis's Mansion, Study.

The Marquis and Xiao Huaihe sat opposite each other, their faces gloomy and ugly.

"I thought the Su family had the emperor's trust, and I wanted to borrow their power, but I didn't expect them to be so useless. It's only been a few years, and they've been abandoned by the emperor." The Marquis shook his head.

"Father, we have formed an alliance with the Su family, but now the Su family is disliked by the emperor. Wouldn't our Marquisate be implicated?" Xiao Huaihe looked nervous. His ambition had been aroused, and it was impossible for him to let it go.

The air was frozen, and the two of them sat in silence.

The Marquis frowned, and paced with his hands behind his back. After pacing for half an hour, he looked up and said, "The only solution now is to draw a clear line with the Su Mansion as soon as possible."

"What does father mean?"

"Divorce the daughter of the Su family!" the Marquis said coldly.

In fact, Xiao Huaihe also thought of this idea, but he was a little reluctant to part with Su Ruhua.

However, he changed his mind and realized that he couldn't do it now. Su Ruhua had been touched by someone else. No matter who that person was, he couldn't accept it, not to mention that that person was his father.

"Okay! I'll listen to my father." Xiao Huaihe's expression was dark and cold, his eyes full of greedy desire.
