"Auntie, that Chengchun... I, I really didn't know her health could be so bad. It was just a bowl of nose soup. I really didn't mean it!" When the old things were brought up again, Hao Jiaojiao was obviously a little confused.
Guilty.
Mrs. Su looked at Hao Jiaojiao coldly, with an emotion called disgust spreading in her eyes. She was silent for a long time, and then laughed: "Miss Hao, once a person starts to lie, then she will use countless words to tell lies."
The lie is wrapped up in this lie. I think your mother probably only taught you how to be domineering since you were a child, but she didn’t teach you how to be an honest and kind person!"
Hao Jiaojiao never expected that Mrs. Su, who usually ignored her, would not give her any face today and scolded her directly outside.
Hao Jiaojiao's eyes turned red immediately, and she said with an aggrieved look: "Auntie, have I done anything to disgust you? Why..."
"Not really, I just don't like you meddling in my son's affairs!" Mrs. Su looked at Hao Jiaojiao indifferently, with a bit of disgust in her eyes.
Hao Jiaojiao looked at Mrs. Su in front of her with slightly red eyes and aggrieved face: "Auntie, I'm just so happy. Brother Su has been away from the capital for so long and finally came back. I..."
"Miss Hao, don't blame me for speaking harshly. After all, you are also a lady, and you still need to have the tolerance you should have. You have already killed Lao Wu's concubine before we got married. Then in the future, if you really
If you get married to Lao Wu, doesn't it mean that Lao Wu will be with you for the rest of your life?" Mrs. Su laughed, "If you two are in love, that's all, but what if the relationship is not good, Miss Hao?
It’s not a good thing for a woman to be jealous!”
Hao Jiaojiao wanted to say something else, but Mrs. Su was no longer willing to talk nonsense to her: "We, the fifth one, have finally come back. I have to go back to my house to prepare dinner for today. I don't have time to continue chatting with you here.
, I’ll go back first!”
"aunt……"
"We don't have many people in the house, but we have a lot of servants. We are very busy. There is no need for Miss Hao to condescend to come to the house to help!" Mrs. Su interrupted Hao Jiaojiao and left directly.
When Mrs. Su's carriage left, Hao Jiaojiao was still standing there. Her face was ugly, her eyes were red, and she looked like she had lost weight and felt aggrieved.
The nun next to Mrs. Su was a little confused: "Although the eldest lady didn't like Miss Hao before, she still gave her the face she deserved. Why did she suddenly treat Miss Hao like this today?"
Mrs. Su, who was sitting aside, touched the Buddhist beads in her hand, lowered her eyes, and then said helplessly: "Master Marquis sent a letter, saying that the Hao family is in great danger, and asked me to clear up the relationship with the Hao family as soon as possible. He is here."
I can’t get away from the border area, so let me listen to Lao Wu in everything!”
Of course, Mammy knew that Lord Marquis had sent a letter, but she did not expect that it would be said in such a way, so she was a little surprised: "The Hao family is clearly in a prosperous state, why is it that a disaster is suddenly coming?"
"How do we know about the matters in the court? Since the Marquis has told me to listen to Lao Wu in everything, we will just listen to Lao Wu!" Mrs. Su said lightly, "Our Su family is in the capital.
The roots are not deep, so you have to be more careful in many cases. The Marquis is out on the march and fighting all the year round, and the days when he can come back are numbered. The boss is not worthy of being reused. Now the only one who can take on the responsibility is the fifth!"
Grandma listened and said no more.
Su Xubai, who left with Xie Chengyin and the others, became unhappy after seeing Hao Jiaojiao. Everyone could tell that he was in a bad mood, but Meng Shaoqing was a person who did not cause trouble and was obviously unhappy.
Knowing that the person is unhappy, he still insists on doing this: "Why, after finally seeing the future wife, why do you still put on such a bad face?"
Xu Ziqing on the side quickly stepped forward and patted Meng Shaoqing: "How come you don't mention any pot?"
"If I don't mention it, someone will!" Meng Shaoqing laughed, and then looked at Su Xubai with a half-smile, "The Hao family is in danger, and Prime Minister Hao will not let your family go so easily.
Life-saving straw, although the Marquis is not here, your eldest brother, the heir apparent, is here, Su Xubai, what are your plans?"
Su Xubai raised his eyes and looked at Meng Shaoqing, silent and did not speak.
In fact, when they returned to Beijing, they had already thought about this matter. Hu Sheng's matter would involve the Hao family no matter what. Even if Prime Minister Hao would not be dragged into the trap, Prime Minister Hao's precious son would definitely not be saved from being demoted.
Punishment is inevitable. At this time, everyone suddenly understood something.
Why did the Hao family know that Su Xubai had a wife outside and had no sympathy for Hao Jiaojiao, but they still followed Hao Jiaojiao's will and asked His Majesty for a marriage. In the final analysis, Prime Minister Hao was looking for a marriage for himself.
Find a backer who can help them when their family is facing downfall.
Prime Minister Hao climbed from a commoner to his current position step by step. Although the real aristocratic family is friendly with him on the surface, in the end they still look down on him. After all, the Hao family does not have a good son and no successor.
With family background, there is no future prospect, so orthodox families will not marry them.
As for the Su family, they are considered to be the new rich in the capital. They are favored by His Majesty. Except for the eldest son, the five sons are all well-behaved and capable, both in literature and martial arts. They are like the next aristocratic family. Prime Minister Hao knows very well that if one day
, the Hao family was really in dire straits, and the Su family, regarded by the emperor as a new rich, was the only one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty who could give her a hand.
That's why after knowing that Hao Jiaojiao had a crush on Su Xubai, he didn't care whether Su Xubai had feelings for Hao Jiaojiao or not and forcefully proposed marriage to the two of them.
Prime Minister Hao's abacus was smashed to pieces, but no one else was stupid, so from the beginning, Xie Chengyin hoped that Su Xubai could avoid suspicion on this matter, because no matter what Su Xubai did, Prime Minister Hao would definitely pull him off.
The Su family went into trouble, even though he had tried every means to clear the relationship.
"When I was in Hangzhou, I once dealt with a wealthy businessman. The wealthy businessman's surname was Hu. Your Highness the Prince should still remember it!" Su Xubai, who had been silent, raised his eyes and looked at Xie Chengyin.
Xie Chengyin naturally remembered: "Why, is it possible that the wealthy businessman has some relationship with Hu Sheng?"
Su Xubai laughed: "I remember, there should be no more Mr. Hu in the court!"
