Princess Nankang waved her hand, and Mother Wu, the most powerful person beside her, withdrew.
Su Tang was still wiping away tears. The princess looked at Xie Boting and said, "Coax her more."
Xie Boting nodded.
After everyone left, Su Tang went back to the house. As soon as he entered the house, he threw the embroidered handkerchief on the Arhat couch and went to wash his eyes.
Xie Boting picked it up and smelled it, but after just one sniff, he felt his nose was sore and tears were about to roll down his face. He was so frightened that he threw it away like a hot potato.
"What the hell are you doing? It's so effective," Xie Boting said, rubbing his eyes.
Su Tang wiped his nose and said, "Tear-gas powder, I just didn't expect it to be so strong."
Xie Boting's mouth twitched, "You made it, don't you know?"
Su Tang bared his teeth, "I only use this thing because of your blessing, okay?"
Xie Boting, "..."
The truth is less than half a sentence.
Su Tang felt displeased with Xie Boting when he thought that it might be used again in the future.
Xie Boting reflected that he shouldn't have entered the house, and that the study was where he should stay.
But he couldn't go anywhere, and everyone beside him was crying. He even went to the study room to read. He might as well live with books for the rest of his life.
Su Tang washed her eyes, but tears still flowed from her eyes. She was crying both times when Xu's mother entered the room. Xu's mother wanted to come forward and give some advice, but Xie Boting sent her away.
As evening approached, Su Tang was thinking about whether she should have dinner later or whether she should show a loss of appetite. The maid outside came in and said, "My eldest mistress, Mrs. Su is here to see you."
Mrs. Su?
Her mother?
Su Tang quickly got up and went outside to greet her. As soon as she went out, she saw Mrs. Xu walking over.
Mrs. Xu saw Su Tang's eyes were red and her heart was in knots. Su Tang walked down the steps and called, "Mom, why are you here?"
Xu said, "Such a big thing happened, how could my mother not come and make you feel wronged?"
Xie Boting came out to salute Mrs. Xu, "I have met my mother-in-law."
Mrs. Xu took out two thousand taels of silver notes from her arms, handed them to Su Tang and said, "The old prince and the old princess asked me to bring these to you."
Su Tang didn't reach out to take it, so Mrs. Xu directly put it into Su Tang's hand and said, "It's because the maid is ignorant and annoyed that you pushed Yun. The second girl fell into the water. She secretly exchanged the bank notes while the house was in a hurry. She has already confessed.
The old princess has taken away her stewardship due to her lax control of the household, and now the palace is under the control of my mother."
This was something Su Tang never thought about. She didn't even think that Xin Wangfu would compensate her another 20,000 taels.
But it's no wonder, after all, no one expected that she would see through Xie Rou and Yunjia's conspiracy and take advantage of it. Mrs. Yun San refused to admit it until she died. Prince Xin only thought she was tough. After all, Yunjia fell into the water because of a conspiracy to make her take the blame.
.
And she was so angry even though she was wearing Yunjia's little headgear, and it was normal to be reluctant to let her take advantage of the twenty thousand taels.
This time, let them shoot themselves in the foot and see if they dare to collude in the future.
It was getting very late, and Mrs. Xu had not even entered the room to have a cup of tea and was about to go back. Su Tang said, "Mom, are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Mrs. Xu touched Su Tang's face and said, "The old princess is afraid that you will be so angry that you can't sleep at night. If you ask me to bring you the banknote, I will give you some advice."
"You should keep this banknote. It's getting late today, so I won't go to see Princess Jingnan. I'll come another day."
It was indeed very late, so Su Tang didn't stay much and sent Xu off. Xie Boting wanted to come with him, so Su Tang said, "I'll just see my mother off."
With him here, I can't even say a few thoughtful words.
Xie Boting said, "My father-in-law is here, so I should go and see you." This chapter has been completed!
