Regarding Luo Junyao, her stepdaughter, Su did not dare to say how perfect she was, but she also knew that she did her best. However, the older Luo Junyao grew, the more he liked to confront her.
He was not her biological child in the first place, and she would admit it even if they were not close to each other, but she asked herself that she had never done anything to harm her, yet she guarded her as if she were an enemy.
"General, you can handle this matter." Su said calmly.
Luo Yun naturally saw Su's frustration. He knew that this could not be blamed on Su. Su had not been completely devoted to Yaoyao these years.
He is not around all year round, and Su is not her biological mother, so I'm afraid she often feels uneasy in her heart.
There are also people who often stir up dissension around Yao Yao. The older Yao Yao gets, the worse the relationship between Yao Yao and Su becomes.
All in all, the Luo family felt a little sorry for the Su family.
The Su family comes from a famous family and is both talented and beautiful. If there is anything bad about her reputation in the capital, except for her second marriage, 90% of it is due to her failure. In the early years, when the war was turbulent and people's livelihood was in decline, the court advocated women to remarry, because the second marriage was not considered a good thing.
What a bad reputation.
People often secretly discuss that if the second girl of the Luo family hates her stepmother so much, there must be something bad about her stepmother.
The Su family taught her daughter to be both talented and beautiful, but her stepdaughter was uneducated and incompetent. It is hard to guarantee that she did not want to raise her stepdaughter to death.
Even Luo Yun had vaguely heard these rumors at the border. How could the Su family not know about them in the capital?
Luo Yun had doubts at first, but the results of the investigation would only embarrass him.
Yao Yao lost his mother when he was only two years old. What can a little child understand?
If someone talks about all kinds of bad things about the stepmother every day, how can the child not be affected?
If the person who said this is still his only remaining relatives and elders, how can a child distinguish right from wrong so easily?
Luo Yun couldn't blame his daughter, nor Su Shi, he could only blame himself.
It was because he failed to protect his wife that his daughter lost her mother at a young age. It was because he failed to accompany his daughter to grow up that he left her in the imperial city without being able to see her again for a year.
"Madam, I am young and ignorant. I don't know anything about the affairs at home. I'm afraid you will still have to work hard on this matter." Luo Yun said softly.
Mrs. Su also knew that she couldn't give up her marriage at this time. Luo Yun was willing to marry her just for the sake of her daughter. Luo Junyao has become what she is now, and after all, she has not fulfilled the promise she made back then.
Rubbing the center of her eyebrows, Su Shi said in a deep voice: "Bring Nanyu here, everyone in Nuanxinyuan is waiting. No one is allowed to go out without my order!"
"Yes, ma'am."
After a while, two stout maids came over pulling a girl in aqua clothes.
The girl knelt down on the ground with a plop and said: "Madam Mingjian, it was the second girl who asked the slave to spread the word. I will never dare to take it upon myself to ruin the girl's reputation."
"Shut up!" Su said coldly.
After looking at the girl, he said: "You have been following the girl. How did the girl get drugged?"
Nan Yu was a little panicked, "Medicine? What kind of medicine? My slave... I don't know."
"I don't know?" Mrs. Su sneered, "You are usually the one waiting on the girl, and you are the one who delivers the words. Apart from the girl, you are the only one who knows that place. Since it's not you...could it be the girl herself or Xie Chengyou who brought the medicine in from outside the house?
of?"
"My slave... I don't know, this slave." Nan Yu moved her eyes away and lowered her eyes.
Su Shi looked down at the girl in front of her coldly, "I think you are dishonest!"
Su is a beautiful and intelligent woman. Although she is nearly forty years old, she still does not hide her beauty.
Just looking at her appearance, she doesn't seem to be very outstanding, but when her face turns cold, she always has a feeling of calmness and self-respect.
No wonder she was able to remarry and securely occupy the position of the first-class noblewoman in Yonghuang City without giving birth to a son or a half for Luo Yun.
"Pull it down and beat me hard! Just leave a breath."
"Yes, ma'am."
The female steward next to Su and Luo Junyao's nanny immediately walked towards Nanyu. Nanyu turned pale and struggled to escape. But how could she, a delicate little girl, compare to the strength of two women in their thirties and forties?
Mrs. Su has been managing the Luo family for more than ten years and is quite dignified among her servants.
Nanyu screamed for injustice, but saw that neither Luo Yun nor Su was moved. Seeing that she was about to be dragged out, she could only scream, "Madam, spare your life! I say! I say!"
She knew that Su didn't mean to scare her.
Even if Mrs. Su is merciful to others, she will never show mercy to her.
Because Mrs. Su had never dealt with the old lady and Madam Shen, and she was the one given to the girl by the old lady, and her mother was also Madam Shen's confidant.
Luo Yun said calmly: "Let's talk, if there is even a few words to hide it, you don't have to live."
Nanyu shuddered, the general was... more terrifying than his wife.
Nan Yu felt regretful at this moment. Why did she get involved in this matter?
"General Madam Mingjian, Miss... Miss heard that Prince Mu's Mansion was preparing to discuss marriage for Young Master Xuan Yu. The family has been under strict supervision for the past two days and Miss Miss couldn't get out, so she wanted to take advantage of today... to ask the slave to invite Young Master Xuan Yu to Yingfeng Pavilion to discuss the matter. Regarding this matter, the girl said... As long as Prince Mu's palace sends someone to propose marriage, she will definitely try to get the general to agree... By then, by then, she and Young Master Xuan Yu will be able to stay together forever." Nan Yu said in a trembling voice.
Luo Yun's face darkened, and Mrs. Su asked: "What's going on with that medicine? Think about it carefully. If what the girl said when she woke up is different from yours..."
Nan Yu bit her lip and whispered: "The girl only said that she would ask Mr. Xuan Yu to discuss it, but... she didn't mention any medicine."
"So... it was Xie Chengyou who did it? No wonder Jun Yao hit him, well done! We girls from the Luo family still know the bottom line." Luo Yun said coldly, stood up and said: "I didn't just You should let that bastard go! I’m going to catch him right now!”
"No..." Nan Yu wanted to say something, but soon realized that she shouldn't speak and quickly bit her lip.
Su Shi grabbed Luo Yun and cast her sharp eyes on Nan Yu, "What do you want to say?"
"My maid... My maid..." Nan Yu was a little flustered, "My maid thinks... Young Master Xuan Yu has always been polite to girls, maybe someone else..."
Su Shi sneered and said: "Since there is no pretense, why did he go to see Jun Yao after hearing your message? Xie Chengyou said that the second young master invited him. Did you pass this message on, or did the girl ask you to pass it on?"
Nan Yu subconsciously wanted to speak, but stopped when she met Su's eyes. After a long time, she lowered her head and whispered: "Yes... it's my own decision. I think... if it's a girl, Master Xuan Yu may not agree." Go. That’s why…”
Su turned her head and said to the female steward next to her: "Take this girl down and ask her carefully. No one is allowed to see her without my order and the general's. Then go and check in person to see who has bought that medicine in recent days. Mr. Shen said that the medicine is not commonly circulated and not many people use it, so it should not be difficult to check."
Luo Yun said next to him: "It's not convenient for the people in the house to check this, so I'll ask someone to check it."
Luo Yun holds 300,000 Xuanjia troops, so he naturally has special information channels.
Su nodded, "That's fine, then I'll bother the general."
After saying this, he glanced at Nan Yu who was on the ground coldly, "Don't let me find out that this matter has anything to do with you, otherwise... your whole family won't be able to survive."
Nanyu shuddered and lowered his head in fear.
After Nan Yu and others went out, Su said to Luo Yun: "General, this matter must not be made public."
Luo Yun frowned and said coldly: "Is this all?"
Su Shi said: "We still don't know what exactly happened. There are ways to teach Xie Chengyou a lesson. But... we must not let Jun Yao be related to the medicine and those things. Jun Yao handled it very well this time, so we decided
Yes, it was Xie Chengyou who spoke rudely to the general, so Jun Yao took action."
After her reminder, Luo Yun also came to his senses, "Madam is right."
Xie Chengyou can look back and deal with it later, but his daughter's reputation is most important.
There is a difference between a bad reputation and a bad reputation. It is one thing to have an arrogant and violent temper or to be obsessed with Xie Chengyou, but it is another thing to be involved in those things.
