That day, early in the morning, in the Lanyue Pavilion.

Liu came here early, looked at the eldest lady sitting in the upper seat, and walked forward to pay her respects.

Su Huan said directly: "Now that you are my father's legitimate wife, I should call you stepmother. From now on, you don't have to follow these etiquettes anymore."

Liu: "I understand. If it weren't for the young lady's plotting behind the scenes, I wouldn't be where I am today. Moreover, if it weren't for you, the young lady, controlling what happened yesterday, I would have been killed by them and wouldn't have the chance to stand in front of you and talk to you again."

Su Huan: "One thing is one thing. Now that your status has changed, you should not be involved in the previous etiquette. I know your feelings, that's all."

Liu: "Yes, I understand."

Su Huan glanced at Liu and said, "You came here so early, but is there anything you want to tell me?"

As she spoke, Su Huan gestured for Liu to sit down next to her, and then had someone bring some tea.

Liu took the tea, looked at the eldest lady, and said, "After the ceremony at the ancestral hall yesterday, I was accompanying the Prime Minister, so I didn't come to see the eldest lady. This morning, the Prime Minister went to the morning court, so now, of course, I have to come and see the eldest lady first."

Su Huan listened to what Liu said, and understood the meaning of her words very well. She said casually, "You should take care of your own affairs and give birth to this child peacefully. That is the most important thing for you right now."

Liu nodded, "Oh, Miss, regarding Su Yi and Su Xu, according to the Prime Minister's intention, they should be confined to their own courtyard, but all supplies should be given to them according to their share. Miss, should we do something? Anyway, even if we treat them well, they won't appreciate it, and the Prime Minister won't believe it either. Instead of doing that, it's better to let them suffer."

Su Huan: "It's up to you. You are the mistress of the Xiangfu now. You can decide these trivial matters by yourself."

Liu: "Yes." Then she said, "Miss, now that things have come to this, how are you going to deal with the old lady?"

Su Huan: "She is now staying in Lingchan Temple to worship Buddha. There is no rush for this matter."

Liu replied "yes" again and didn't ask any more questions.

Then, Liu said something else slowly, "By the way, Miss, your wedding day is approaching. Many things that should be taken care of in the Prime Minister's Mansion have basically been in place. The next step is just to decorate the mansion on the eve of your wedding. Miss, you may have other ideas. I will ask them to prepare them then. Your wedding gift will definitely not be inferior to the one when Su Xuan got married."

Su Huan: "Just do these things normally. My dowry is already prepared. You just need to be polite."

Liu: “Yes.”

Having said this, Liu didn't say anything else. After drinking a cup of tea, she took her leave.

After Liu left, Yunshuang stood by and asked softly, "Miss, when you get married, are you sure you don't want Aunt Liu... Madam to make more preparations? You are the real first wife daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you have the most noble status among all the children of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Your wedding ceremony must be more grand than the second young lady's wedding."

Su Huan: "There is no need to make deliberate arrangements. With everything we have now, we will be able to skip Su Xuan's wedding ceremony naturally. If I am too deliberate, it will make me look like I am fussing with Su Xuan. What I show inadvertently is suppressing someone. That is the real suppression. If I cannot suppress the other person, then even if I make it grand, it will be useless."

Nanny Xia: "Young lady, what you said is very true. With your current reputation in the capital, and the current situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion, all the wives now follow your lead without any effort. Naturally, it has surpassed the grand occasion of the Second Young Lady's wedding."

Yunshuang understood, but didn't say anything more.

Then, Nanny Xia turned and asked, "Miss, are you planning to settle the matter with the old lady after you get married?"

Su Huan: "What should be ended must be ended. It can't be resolved just because she backs off. Zhu's death could be kept secret, but the death of the prime minister's wife can't be kept secret. The wedding date is approaching. If she dies first, the wedding will have to be postponed. There is no need for that. It is better to wait until after the wedding to end it all at once."

Nanny Xia: "Miss, you are right. With you in control, everything must be within your plan. There won't be any deviation."

Su Huan smiled faintly. Speaking of this topic, she couldn't help but think of Mo Qianhan. If she took action in advance, her grandmother would die before she got married. For the so-called filial piety, the wedding date would have to be postponed. Mo Qianhan would probably feel aggrieved.

She had been looking forward to marrying out of the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time. Only by leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion could she be free from its constraints and naturally be able to do many things more freely, which would be more beneficial to her. In this case, there was no need to worry about it.

……

At the same time, Su Yi and Su Xu were in the courtyard.

Su Xu saw the food on the dining table, looked at the servants over there, and said coldly: "What does this mean? Why has even our diet changed?"

The servant who went to fetch the food heard this and had to tell the truth: "Master, Second Master, it's not that I don't want to fetch the food for you two as before, but the people in the kitchen said that Master and Second Master are under house arrest now, so everything can only be done according to the most basic rules, and..."

"What else!" Su Yi said coldly.

"Master, I didn't say that." The servant defended himself first, saying, "The servants in the kitchen said that the first and second masters were vicious and almost harmed the new wife and her unborn child. Now the prime minister still cares about the father-son relationship and keeps some respect. He is already giving the two masters a normal diet. If they still want to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day like before, they advise the two masters not to dream in vain."

Su Xu: "That's what they really said."

Su Yi pulled Su Xu to his side and said, "Who do you think has the final say in the kitchen now? Not to mention that we are under house arrest and cannot go out, even if we can go out, who can you go to argue with? Do you think Liu will consider us?"

Su Xu: "Does father really not care about it anymore?"

Su Yi: "What happened yesterday is there. Liu and us are at odds, and we are not unreasonable. Do you think father will blame Liu for this?"

Su Xu: "Brother, I..."

Su Yi: "Okay, let's eat first."

Su Xu had no choice but to bite the bullet and casually eat the simple meal.
