Chapter 447 448: Adding fuel to the flames

Su Xinyi got up early in the morning to dress up. Yesterday, she sent someone to send a message to the Duke's Mansion that the prince would also be passing by today.

In the early morning, she was still confused here, so Zhang Jian came to call her. The prince left in a hurry. He has not come back yet. Looking at the time, he wonders if he can make it back to the Duke's mansion.

Dressing up in front of the bronze mirror, Forsythia picked a mutton-fat jade hairpin from the makeup box and inserted it into her hair. She felt a bit plainer and was about to change it to a red gold inlaid hairpin when Su Xinyi said: "Just How about this."

Forsythia responded, but her fingers quickly picked up a red gold silk hairpin inlaid with various gemstones and put it on, and then she felt satisfied.

Su Xinyi looked in the mirror and saw that he really looked energetic, so he didn't take it off. He got up and walked out and asked, "Is there any news ahead?"

"Not yet, why don't I ask, please?" Forsythia replied immediately.

Su Xinyi shook his head, "No need."

Since there is no news back, it means that His Highness has not had time to send her a message, which means that the matter is quite urgent. He was in such a hurry last night that Su Xinyi didn't know what happened.

"Let's prepare the meal first," Su Xinyi said.

Forsythia hurriedly went down to give instructions.

She just didn't have much appetite, but she still had one in her stomach, so she had to eat some. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not come back after breakfast, but not long after breakfast, someone came to deliver a message, and Yan Junchu asked her to return to the Duke's Mansion first.

Su Xinyi asked people to prepare to return to her parents' home. The person who sent the message only came back with this sentence, and she didn't know what happened.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Grandma She came over and said, "Princess, it's time to set off."

Su Xinyi nodded and got up, got on the carriage in the East Palace, and headed all the way to the Duke of Qi's Mansion.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, married women have to go back to their parents' homes to visit relatives. There are many carriages and horses along the way. The guards of the East Palace are in front of them to clear the way. Su Xinyi's carriage goes straight to the Duke's Mansion without any obstruction.

Zhan Qiao came back quickly to convey the news that the prince could not come for the time being. When Su Xinyi got off the carriage, she saw her family members greeting her, and she immediately walked over.

"I've met the Crown Princess."

Su Xinyi hurriedly asked everyone to get up. She knew that today she was going back to her parents' home, and these etiquettes were indispensable. She was slightly relieved when she entered the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

When they arrived at Mrs. Tai's yard all the way, the old man and Mrs. Tai were already waiting at the door, and Su Xinyi hurriedly greeted them.

The eldest master and others were also there, and after the family exchanged greetings, they sat down one after another.

Jie Jingluo looked at Su Xinyi's big posture and sighed in his heart, people are different.

There are really too many people in the family. Those who are here with Mrs. Tai are the elders of the family, and the ordinary people are waiting in the flower hall.

The old man looked at Xin Yi and asked a few words. Knowing that the prince had something to do, he said: "There are many things going on in the palace. Even if His Highness cannot come here today, don't worry about it when you go back."

Su Xinyi knew that her grandfather was worried that she would be unhappy because of this, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I know the severity."

The old man nodded, "Of course I know."

As his granddaughter, although she is very capable of causing trouble, she is also very capable of handling things.

Speaking of the prince, the eldest man asked, "Has your highness encountered any difficulties?"

Su Xinyi shook his head, "Your Highness left in a hurry, I don't know, but uncle, don't worry, it should be fine."

Master Su Er said with a smile: "His Royal Highness has become more and more steady in his work in the past two years, and the courtiers have become more respectful to the East Palace. Brother, you really don't have to worry."

Mr. Su responded, looked at Xin Yi and said, "After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I will hand over the evidence from Weng's family room."

Su Xinyi was stunned, "The fifth day of the Lunar New Year? So fast?"

"Of course this kind of thing cannot be delayed for too long. Allowing them to spend the fifth day of the Lunar New Year is already the greatest kindness." Su Sanye said.

Su Xinyi thought for a while and said, "There won't be any problems with the evidence over there, right?"

"Of course, unless the Weng family really wants to be our enemy." Mr. Su said with a solemn expression.

Su Xinyi looked at his grandfather, "Grandpa, what do you think?"

The old man said with a smile: "If you think you can do it, don't worry about anything else." After saying this, he paused and said, "I'm afraid Grand Master Li will not have a good life this year, so you should be more careful."

Su Xinyi frowned slightly after listening to her grandfather's words, "Does the Li family still dare to fight with us directly now?"

Could it be that the news about Li Ji was leaked?

Perhaps seeing Xin Yi's doubts, Su Sanye said: "Master Li has been a veteran of three dynasties and his disciples are widely spread. Some of the information is very well-informed. Although we did not do Li Ji's matter personally, there are always some traces of the source of the information. I am afraid that if we investigate It’s on us.”

Su Xinyi understood that although Taishi Li suspected the Su family, they had no evidence. His grandfather told them to be careful because he was afraid that Taishi Li would use other tricks to deal with them.

"Use offense as defense. I think not only the affairs of the Weng family should be released, but we should also take action on other matters." Su Xinyi has been very disgusted with Concubine Li and Taishi Li ever since she knew that the Li family was behind the events in her previous life.

"This matter is of great importance. You should discuss it with His Highness the Crown Prince." Mr. Su said hurriedly.

This niece is too tough. There are so many things involved in this kind of thing, how can she come to a conclusion at once? She is in the East Palace, so naturally she has to discuss everything with His Highness the Crown Prince.

"What uncle said is that I will talk to His Highness about this when I get back." Su Xinyi responded with a smile.

Master Su was relieved, but Jie Jinglue felt that Su Xinyi didn't think that what she said before was too fast, and she just agreed so readily because she wanted to reassure her family.

Perhaps Jie Jinglue's eyes were too real, Su Xinyi couldn't help but look over, but she saw Jie Jinglue showing her a perfect smile.

True or false!

"At this year's annual banquet, people from Li Taishi's faction proposed that the princes should go out of the capital for training. Do you know?" Master Su looked at Xinyi and said.

Su Xinyi really didn't know, and shook her head gently, "There have been endless banquets in the palace these two days, and many things can't be taken care of. However, Li Taishi's people mentioned this matter at the annual banquet. Isn't it too anxious?"

"Because of Li Ji's matter, Li Taishi is not easy to show up for some things now, and can only let his disciples and old friends do it. This is just to test Your Majesty." Su Sanye said.

"Although it was a test, it can also peek into Master Li's mind. It seems that the matter of Prince Yi has made Master Li a little flustered." Second Master Su followed.

At this time, Jie Jinglue suddenly said: "After Lord Shang returned to the capital, His Majesty asked him to rest. I'm afraid a big storm is inevitable when the court opens."

Su Xinyi looked at Jie Jinglue and said: "What my brother-in-law said makes sense, but once the evidence of the Weng family is handed in, I'm afraid we don't have to wait until the court opens."

Jie Jinglue understood immediately, adding fuel to the fire.

He knew that Su Xinyi's character would never suffer.

Therefore, letting the evidence of the Weng family surface on the fifth day of the first lunar month was equivalent to taking the first step.

Su Xinyi thought more, Mu Xing estimated that he could get something from Xu Yurong, and then use these things to fool Yan Qiongsi. With Master Minghui in hand, Prince Yi must be worried that she would confess, and he would put pressure on her step by step until Shang Junyan presented new evidence. By then, Prince Yi would not be able to escape even if he had wings.

After Su Xinyi finished talking to the elders, she went to chat with her sisters. Everyone was talking happily in the flower hall. Su Jingmo was about to give birth, so she couldn't come today. Su Xinyi came earlier. At this time, Su Chaoyan and Su Xixian had not arrived yet.

The eldest sister-in-law Zeng followed the eldest aunt to manage the affairs. Now there were only Zhao and Su Baiwei in the flower hall. Su Xinyi had just come in when Su Lanxi arrived. The room suddenly became lively. Before they said a few words, Su Chaoyan and Su Xixian also arrived.

Su Xinyi saw through the window that several brothers-in-law gathered together and chatted enthusiastically. Jie Jinglue never looked like a military general in front of others. Today, he wore a jade-white straight gown, which made him look more elegant and gentle. Su Xinyi's mouth twitched.

The third brother-in-law, a real scholar standing next to him, and the second brother-in-law, a son of a noble family, looked very harmonious.

Following Su Xinyi's gaze, Su Baiwei smiled and said, "Isn't it strange?"

Su Xinyi turned her head slightly after hearing her elder sister's words and said to her, "It's not strange. I just admire my elder brother-in-law. No matter where he is, he can get along well with others easily."

Su Baiwei said, "There's nothing I can do. If you want to live well, you have to be more sensible than others."

"Are you feeling sorry for your elder brother-in-law? It seems that your elder brother-in-law really found a good person when he married you."

Su Baiwei blushed and looked at Xinyi and said, "Why are you more talkative after getting married?"

"I'm the same as my elder sister. I also found a good person."

"You..."

Su Baiwei smiled, and the people around her turned their heads and laughed after hearing Xinyi's words.

Su Xinyi coughed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Su Xixian didn't say anything sour. At this time, several little guys ran in. Jie Kun was the oldest, with several younger brothers and sisters. They looked helpless, and Su Xinyi was very happy.

Jie Kun:...

Sixth aunt really likes to watch the fun.

Yan Junchu didn't make it in time for lunch, but he asked Yang Jin to go and send the New Year gifts to the Su family. Su Xinyi didn't expect that His Highness was so thoughtful. The other people in the Su family were also satisfied, which showed that the prince valued Xinyi very much.

The fourth lady was the happiest, and her eyes seemed to be shining. If her husband was still alive, she would be happy to see Xinyi like this.

The family had a lively meal. After the meal, a group of men went to the martial arts field, and the second brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law also went to join in the fun. Not to mention the children, Su Xinyi and Su Xixian were both pregnant and naturally didn't go. If they didn't go, the other female relatives were too lazy to watch the fun, so they just drank tea and chatted in the flower hall.

Su Xinyi saw that her eldest sister-in-law Zeng had become a bit of a head of the family now. It seemed that her aunt had made an effort to teach her.

The second sister-in-law Zhao was a young wife who had just married into the family. She was a girl from a scholarly family. She was still a little tender-skinned. She seemed to listen carefully to whatever others said. She was also very kind when talking to others. She always had a light smile, which made people feel comfortable.

Su Xixian sat next to Xinyi and chatted with her. As she was talking, she mentioned Su Jingmo, "In a day, I will go to induce labor. Time flies so fast."

"Is everything okay with the fourth sister?" Su Xinyi asked.

Su Xixian nodded, "Mother went to visit before the New Year. Everything is fine. The midwife has been found. We are just waiting for the date."

Su Xinyi was relieved to hear this. Inducing labor was her mother's family's business. As a married girl, she naturally didn't need to worry about it. She just had to wait for the fourth sister to give her the wedding money after she gave birth.

"My eldest uncle is coming to Beijing."

Su Xinyi was thinking about inducing labor, and didn't want to hear such a sentence. She turned to look at Su Xixian, "I heard from my third uncle that the evidence given by the Weng family should be handed over on the fifth day of the first lunar month. It's not surprising that Master Weng came here at this time."

Su Xixian snorted, "How can he be so kind? He said he was sending evidence, but he was just hoping for the best and trying to persuade my aunt."

Su Xinyi frowned slightly, "Why are the Weng family members endless?"

"They are afraid that my aunt will really break off with the Weng family. Fortunately, my mother asked my aunt to return home early, so they didn't see her." Su Xixian said.

Su Xinyi glanced at Su Xixian, "Could it be that if he doesn't return to the mansion, Aunt Weng still wants to see him?"

"It's hard to say."

Su Xinyi was amused by Su Xixian's words, "Don't worry too much, I think Aunt Weng should have figured it out this time."

"I'm teasing you too, my aunt hates them so much, how could she forgive them so easily."

Su Xinyi:...

Su Xixian looked at Su Xinyi's expression and smiled happily, then said: "My aunt also told me that she wanted me to thank her on her behalf."

"That's not necessary, I didn't do anything." Su Xinyi shook her head and said.

"Anyway, I brought the message." Su Xixian said in a good mood.

Su Xinyi suddenly remembered that she had missed someone, so she asked: "Why didn't I see the fifth brother-in-law?"

"He was patrolling the camp today, and my father arranged it personally." What else could Su Xixian say? As a daughter, she could only support what her own father did.

"Fourth brother-in-law didn't come either?"

"Fourth sister is about to give birth in the next few days. The family sent a letter to ask fourth brother-in-law to take care of fourth sister."

Su Xinyi nodded, "This is what I should do."

"Yeah."

Zeng came over and heard this, and smiled and said, "Fourth brother-in-law is a polite person. Although he didn't come today, he made a special trip last night to fulfill the etiquette." Then he looked at Su Xixian, "Fifth sister, don't worry, I don't mean anything else. Fifth brother-in-law can't come, that's the arrangement of third uncle, not because of fifth brother-in-law."

Everyone in the room laughed, and Su Xixian looked at Zeng and said, "Sister-in-law is right, let him come over to apologize to everyone later."

"Don't do that, your eldest brother will definitely blame me for being nosy if he knows, just pretend you didn't hear it."

Zeng's words made everyone laugh even more happily, and Su Xinyi laughed as she watched from the side, her eyes fell on Su Baiwei and turned, and she thought of Lu Yunhua's matter again.

Xie Jinglue's temper is hard to control, so Lu Yunhua chased him. Was he doing it on purpose or unintentionally?

She still had to ask about this matter. If Xie Jinglue really had other thoughts, he had to tell his elder sister clearly.

We are in lockdown again, and the children are taking online classes again. I... don't even have the strength to sigh. It was just unblocked for a few days and then it was blocked again. The only goal is to keep updating. Tears.
