The Marquis's Mansion is a cannibalistic hell, the daughter of the emperor is being bloodbathed

Looking at the expressions of the three people, Su Qingwan became more certain that it was indeed Prime Minister Dong who did it.

The old guy refused to give up. I really wanted to twist his head off, but that obviously wouldn't work.

Lord Prime Minister Dong has a deep foundation in the court and many students and old friends. If he were to be killed for no reason, it would only be detrimental to his eldest brother, so it would be most reasonable for this man to die a worthy death.

"Take out the tongues and give them to Xiaonian. What other horses have they got?"

I guess the Prime Minister’s Mansion will still be bustling tonight.

During dinner, Su Qingwan chatted with Su Yuewen for a while and told him about what happened in the Imperial Examination Hall.

"I can't believe that the Prime Minister of the imperial court would actually attack me."

Su Yuewen shook his head.

"In fact, the root of this matter lies with me. Big brother, do you remember that I attended the birthday banquet of King Qi before?" After she saw Su Yuewen nod, she continued:

"That day, Su Yunrou and the King of Qi plotted against me by adding cartilage powder to the wine, but I discovered it in advance, so I secretly spit out the wine, and then pretended to take Chinese medicine. Su Yunrou sent me to the side room to rest. I wanted to see what they were going to do, but I didn't expect that the person who came in was the eldest son of Prime Minister Dong's mansion, Dong Minde!"

Having said this, Su Yuewen stood up and walked out without saying a word, but was quickly stopped by Su Qingwan.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"Kill that guy." Su Yuewen said very calmly, but he had already thought of how to make Dong Minde's death less painful.

"No need, he's already dead, and I returned the body to Prime Minister Dong last night." Su Qingwan smiled.

"So Prime Minister Dong traced his grandson's death to you?"

"It should be the King of Qi who told him. After all, I was the last person to see Dong Minde that night. So everything that big brother encountered in the examination room was caused by him, including the frightened horse at the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall. Big brother will have to take two more exams later, and it is possible that the person named Dong will continue." Su Qingwan said.

"If Lord Dong still refuses to give up in the next two rounds, he will probably still arrange to attack me when I enter or leave the Imperial College. After all, the candidates are fixed, and there will be no chance to attack me after I enter."

"I think so too, so you have to be more careful when you enter and leave the Imperial Examination Hall, brother."

Su Yuewen nodded, "Don't worry!"

After the brother and sister chatted for a while, Su Qingwan returned to Fuguangyuan.

That night, Xiaonian sent a few tongues to the prime minister's residence, and Su Qingwan asked Qing Er to go out and do something.

The next day, storytellers in major teahouses in the capital city began to tell a new story.

"According to fate, this old man should have died long ago, but he used extremely brutal means to extend his life. Do you know what means he used?"

The storyteller in Zhuangyuan Building asked loudly, and the people below said all kinds of things, but after listening to them, the storyteller shook his head calmly, indicating that it was not the case.

"He eats the tongue, which is connected to the heart..."

Another piece of news was also spreading quickly in the market.

"Of course it's true. The eldest nephew of the neighbor of Liu Da's uncle's second aunt works in the prime minister's residence. I heard that he was lucky to run fast last night, otherwise his tongue would have been pulled out and eaten by Prime Minister Dong..."

The news spread faster and faster, and soon dozens of versions were spread among the people of the capital. When the people in the prime minister's mansion heard the rumors, it was too late to stop them.

Prime Minister Dong was so angry that he cursed: "It must have been someone from Chengping Marquis's Mansion who did it."

He had just picked up a few tongues from the bed last night, and today the news spread throughout the capital. He really underestimated Su Qingwan.

"Prime Minister, now that the rumors are spreading like that, I'm afraid it will be difficult to clarify."

"No need to clarify, these are just rumors, they will disappear in a few days."

This kind of thing will only damage one's reputation, but those people in the court will not believe it. Moreover, after a few days, when another group of people are arrested, the crazy talk will disappear.

But what he didn't know was that storytellers were extremely good at making up stories, and as long as the guests liked them, they could keep telling the stories for months.

In the Marquis of Chengping's mansion, Su Zhiru also heard the rumors. After he came back, he happened to hear his wife and daughter discussing this matter, so he said seriously:

"Prime Minister Dong is an important official in the imperial court. Even if you talk about him in private, you must be careful of others!"

"Dad, don't worry, this is our yard and the people here are ours."

Su Qingwan looked at him and said.

After a while, her father's official position will also end. Unfortunately, the emperor arranged for him to go to the Ministry of Revenue.

If Su Zhiru had experienced the separation of his wife and children in his previous life, he might know what to do in the Ministry of Revenue, but in this life, he was easily influenced by women outside and might have forgotten to figure out the emperor's intentions.

Jiang was unwilling to pay attention to him, so the mother and daughter went straight outside to stroll around the garden.

The mansion is currently being renovated, and even the flowers and plants on the ground are being re-arranged. When the old marquis asked the reason, Su Qingwan said that she wanted to change the feng shui of the mansion to prevent any more accidents. The old marquis was very touched and praised her for being sensible.

"Don't pay attention to your father. After your eldest brother passes the imperial examination, I will divorce him. If he disagrees, I will take you away from the Marquis' Mansion." Liu said calmly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Su Qingwan said this, but she knew very well that as long as the old marquis was around, he would not let her mother take them away, so the person most likely to leave the marquis's mansion was Su Zhiru.

Jiang didn't mention him anymore and just stared at the koi swimming in the pond in a daze. Su Qingwan also took a look at it. After she looked away, she saw a familiar figure slowly walking towards her from the rockery beside her.

"Brother Wu!"

When Jiang heard this, she hurried over and saw that it was Su Yuewu who had been away from home for several months.

"Mother, sister, I'm back."

Su Yuewu ran over quickly and saluted.

Jiang pulled him up and looked him over carefully. "He has lost some weight, but he has grown a lot taller. His skin is rougher though."

Su Yuewu grinned and said, "Hehe, the wind in the north is strong, it's blowing! Wait for me to rest for a few days, and I'll be white and strong again."

"You're such a chatterbox! But you need to take good care of yourself. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." Jiang walked towards the kitchen happily.

Su Qingwan followed and said, "Mom, don't tell anyone that Wu Ge'er has returned yet."

"Okay! He came back early, and the emperor probably doesn't know about it yet, so we can't tell anyone else." Jiang nodded, reassuring Su Qingwan.

After she left, Su Qingwan looked at Su Yuewu and asked, "Where is Prince An?"

"In my yard. He is not injured, but he is exhausted from traveling so long that he is sleeping now."

Su Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief. If something happened to Prince An, what would happen to Sister Han Yue?

"Since you're back, what's the matter with the jade pendant I gave you?" Su Qingwan asked again.

"Jade pendant? You know everything about this!" Su Yuewu scratched his head in surprise.

The jade pendant was accidentally broken when I was attacked in the northern border. Later, I gave it to my subordinate as a token of trust, thinking that he would return it to me after I returned to Beijing.

After hearing what he said, Su Qingwan asked him to follow her to Fuguangyuan, and then took out the small box containing the jade pendant.

Su Yuewu's expression changed instantly. There was blood stain on the jade pendant. "Did something happen to them?"
