Chapter 81 Su Su

Only Xin You and Zhou's mother were left in the east room.

Xinyou rubbed the warm teacup and waited patiently for Zhou's mother to speak.

Mother Zhou stared at the girl in front of her.

Although she is about the same age as her daughter, she is so calm and collected. In the future, without the protection of her as a mother, will Yue'er be as good as Miss Kou?

Thinking of this question, Zhou's mother felt as if her heart had been stabbed and it hurt sharply.

After an unknown amount of time, Mother Zhou's weak voice sounded: "My surname is Miao, and my name is Susu."

She did not directly say the reason for the dispute with her husband. Instead, she mentioned her name and looked at Xin You expectantly.

Xin You somehow understood what Zhou's mother, no, Miao Susu's expectations were, and said with a smile: "Aunt's name is really nice."

Miao Susu smiled: "Yes, this name is really nice. Has Miss Kou heard of the rumors about the current queen?"

Xin You's heart tightened and she shook her head: "I haven't heard of it."

Miao Susu smiled bitterly: "Yes, after so many years, no one dares to discuss it among the people. Naturally, you children hear less. The queen's surname was Xin, and the name 'Susu' was given to me by Empress Xin.

of."

Xin You was shocked: "Auntie's name was given by the queen?"

Miao Susu nodded and fell into memories.

"That was twenty years ago. I was still a little palace maid. The people in the palace were in panic, fearing that the rebel army would invade the capital. That day still came. When the palace gate was about to be breached, the emperor ordered the harem to be killed. Those who usually

The empresses in gorgeous clothes fell to the ground one by one, and palace maids like me were running around, and people were being hacked to death at any time, some they knew, some they didn't know..."

As she told the story, Miao Susu's face became paler and paler: "When I was about to be overtaken, I saw a group of soldiers and horses, and there were female soldiers among them. I survived like this. Later I found out that the soldiers who invaded the imperial city were

One of the horses is Queen Xin's army..."

There was a smile on Miao Susu's lips: "That's when I realized that women can do this too. Not long after the founding of the new dynasty, Queen Xin obtained the new emperor's consent to let us old dynasty palace members out of the palace, and also rewarded us

Money to live and settle down. When I was about to leave the palace, I didn't know how I mustered up the courage. I knelt down and begged Queen Xin to give me a name. I thought, I was going to leave the palace and start a new life, so I should have a new name."

Speaking of this, she opened her eyes slightly, as if the goddess-like woman was still in front of her.

"Empress Xin looked at me and said, I am already idle, and Qingchuan is like this, so I will call you Su Su. I left the palace because the new dynasty has promulgated many policies that are tolerant to women. Although I have no parents or relatives, I can do it on my own.

I lived a good life. Later, someone agreed and I married Zhou Tong..."

Miao Susu talked about her marriage to Zhou Tong, and Xin You listened silently.

"At the beginning of the year, Zhou Tong stayed in the capital as an errand. He wrote back and asked me to take Yue'er to Beijing for a reunion. I was so happy to be back in the capital. Who knew that Yue'er broke her leg on the way to Beijing?

I met an enthusiastic person when I called Tiantian. I always felt that she looked familiar. As I continued on my way, I suddenly thought that this enthusiastic person looked like Empress Xin. When I met Zhou Tong, I told him..."

Miao Susu's pale face was filled with regret and anger: "I have always been thinking about whether that enthusiastic person was Empress Xin, and asked Zhou Tong many times, until one time when he came back from drinking, I urged him to ask Shangfeng while chatting before going to bed.

, he suddenly got angry and said that Queen Xin was dead and asked me not to ask endless questions, ahem——"

Miao Susu coughed a few times and her eyes turned red: "He said that it turned out that Queen Xin had always been resentful in his heart for leaving without saying goodbye. He thought that Queen Xin had hurt the dignity of the emperor, so when he got the news about Queen Xin, he sent someone to check and confirm his identity.

Then kill them on the spot..."

Xin You clenched his fists hard and said calmly: "Since Zhou Tong has no choice but to do so, why are you and your wife arguing again?"

"Because I found out that I seemed to have been deceived by him."

"Being cheated?" Xinyou was stunned.

Miao Susu's eyes became even more angry: "I accidentally found a stack of banknotes and a letter in the study. The letter affirmed the information he provided. Although it was not stated clearly, I knew it must be Queen Xin's case.

I had doubts. If it was true as he said, he just reported the situation to the superiors, and everything that happened later was what the superiors meant, why would he give him so much money to a small hundred households? Although I am just an ordinary woman,

But I also know that this is unreasonable..."

When Xin You heard this, a person suddenly flashed in his mind.

That man is always dressed in red, reading quietly in front of the bookshelf at dusk.

Could it be said that Zhou Tong reported the news about his mother to someone else?

Why did He Qingxiao go to Wanyang at that time?

Did she hate the wrong person?

Miao Susu coughed twice more, with a sad smile on her lips: "Because of the money and the letter, I couldn't help but confront him. I asked him if he had been lying from beginning to end, and didn't tell Queen Xin's story at all.

The news was reported, but sold to the person who wanted to harm Queen Xin. He became angry and strangled my neck crazily. When I reacted, the dagger had already penetrated his abdomen. After that, Miss Kou knew about it."

Xin You trembled slightly and asked: "Then did he say who he passed the news to?"

The room was quiet for a long time, and Miao Susu asked, "Why is Miss Kou so interested in this?"

Xin You looked at her calmly: "Auntie feels regretful because of Queen Xin's death. The originally loving couple also ended up like this. Don't you want the real mastermind to get retribution?"

Miao Susu bit her lip: "Of course I think so. I just don't understand why Miss Kou is like this. Is Miss Kou really just curious? Or...do you have an unknown relationship with Queen Xin?"

Xin You was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "I do have some relationship with Queen Xin, but I can't say it."

Miao Susu looked at Xin You steadily and laughed hard: "Miss Kou said this, but I felt relieved. When Zhou Tong attacked me, he said that Queen Xin was stupid and gave up the position of queen, and there were many people who wanted her dead.

He sold the information to Gu Changbo in exchange for a large sum of money, just so that we, mother and daughter, could have enough food and clothing in the future..."

She remembered that after hearing this, she burst out with amazing strength in the desperate situation and stabbed the disgusting man to death.

"Uncle Gu Chang——" Xin You muttered these three words.

Miao Susu answered: "He is the elder brother of Concubine Shu and the uncle of the second prince, Prince Qing."

Her former career as a palace maid made her subconsciously pay attention to these important figures that ordinary people would not pay attention to when encountering various things.

"Miss Kou, I want to ask you something."

"Auntie, tell me."

"I'm afraid my body won't be able to hold on anymore. Yue'er is not as smart and strong as Miss Kou. She has lost her father and will soon be without her mother. I would like to ask Miss Kou to take care of her a little bit in the future."
