On Yan Zhiyu's birthday, he gathered merchants, officials from nearby states and counties, martial arts people, and people from all walks of life. Yan Zhiyu had made many friends in these years and met many people from all walks of life. This time, he used the reputation of birthday to gather them all, just to
Discuss a major matter.
He had waited too long and missed the opportunity before. Now it was most appropriate to take action when Yu Wenhao had not long since ascended the throne and the people's hearts were unstable.
Once Yu Wenhao has been sitting on the throne for a few years, he will never have a chance again.
Therefore, he was very happy to learn that the imperial court sent someone, because he could use this to give the imperial court a boost.
The tombs of the Tianshu family will also be burned to the ground after his birthday. Naturally, he has to find a perfect excuse to explain to the people.
The imperial court sent people to give him a perfect excuse to blame everything on Leng Consort and tell the people that it was the imperial court. In this way, the people of Fengdu City who believe in the fortune-telling family will hate the imperial court.
.
He didn't care much about the consort Leng Si at first. He naturally knew his origins. He was a wealthy man and the owner of the Lenglang Clan. However, these were all private identities. In the end, he married a princess and became the consort. This shows that this person is extremely snobbish and meritorious.
Scheming people are not difficult to deal with. After all, there are many such people around him.
Those at the bottom want to work hard to climb up, change their background as merchants, join the upper class, and become a marquis. After two or three generations, they will completely get rid of their previous status.
There are only two days left before my birthday.
Even if he no longer wanted to see Su Rushuang, he had to go because Su Rushuang, the wife of the city lord, was going to attend his birthday party.
Only the deep love between the city lord and his wife can give the people a beautiful illusion.
Su Rushuang lived in Wushuangju to the east of the city palace. After they got married that year, they moved into Wushuangju and regarded Wushuangju as their new house.
At that time, after discussing the matter, he couldn't wait to return to Wushuangju, but in recent years, he no longer wanted to step foot here.
Wushuang Juli is extremely luxurious. He has never treated her badly in terms of money. She always has to do a good job in appearance. Either she doesn't come, but when she comes, it still makes people feel that the husband and wife are harmonious and loving.
"City Lord, are you here?" The mother-in-law beside Su Rushuang was overjoyed when she saw him. She hurriedly wrapped herself up and ran inside, shouting: "Madam, the City Lord is here to see you."
Wushuang Residence suddenly became lively, with maids and servants running around and preparing hot towels, tea, and cakes.
Su Rushuang, the wife of the city lord, walked out with the support of her maid.
He has white hair, droopy eyelids, and wrinkles covering his entire face. He is haggard, sallow, bloodless, and so thin that he has no flesh on his body, like a mummy.
Her movements were slow, and the moment she raised her eyes, there was also a look of despair. She stood in the corridor and had to be supported by the maid to prevent herself from falling.
This old woman was Su Rushuang, the great beauty of Fengdu City back then.
"Cousin!" She called out, and her scattered eyes gradually gathered together, trying to see her husband clearly. However, enduring pain over time and taking painkillers had weakened her eyesight.
, she had to wait until Yan Zhiyu came very close before she could see him clearly.
Yan Zhiyu stood in front of her, holding back his disgust, and stretched out his hand to help her, "I told you, you don't need to come out to greet me when I come. The strong wind will hurt your health."
His voice was still gentle, but his eyes were cold.
"It's rare for you to come. I wanted to see you one more time, so I came out to pick you up." Su Rushuang squeezed out a smile, but the wrinkled skin on her face squeezed up, making her look even older. The nasolabial folds were too deep, causing her cheeks to look older.
The skin is drooping.
She really looks too old.
Yan Zhiyu was several years older than her, but standing in front of her, Yan Zhiyu looked like her son.
Yan Zhiyu let go of her and walked slowly inside, "My birthday is in two days. How are you feeling?"
Su Rushuang broke free from the maid's hand and wanted to follow quickly, but her steps staggered a few times and she almost fell behind Yan Zhiyu.
Yan Zhiyu could have helped her, but he didn't take action and just carried her on his back as if he couldn't see her.
Fortunately, the maid was used to it and had quick eyesight to hold her up, so she didn't fall to the ground.
She took a breath and smiled slowly, "I'm feeling much better and I can be with you. Of course I want to be with you on your birthday."
Only then did Yan Zhiyu look back at her, "There will be many guests coming by then. This year will be more grand than any other year. You have to dress up. I will ask someone to send you some jewelry tomorrow."
"Okay, okay!" she said happily, looking at Yan Zhiyu longingly.
Yan Zhiyu didn't want to look at her anymore. After explaining the matter, he also did the honorable thing and said: "I still have something to do, so I won't stop you from resting. You can rest well."
After he finished speaking, he left without even looking at her.
Su Rushuang suddenly stretched out her chicken claw-like hand, grabbed his wrist, and said hurriedly: "Cousin, it's rare for you to come here, please talk to me for a while."
Yan Zhiyu lowered his head and looked at her withered old hand. The skin on her hand was wrinkled, like a piece of wrinkled silk. It was extremely ugly. He felt disgusted and slowly withdrew his hand, "I said, and
Things are busy.”
Su Ru's eyes suddenly hardened, and she said angrily in a rough and old voice: "If you have something to do, why don't you go find those vixens? Don't think I don't know how many women you have hidden in the palace."
Yan Zhiyu frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Su Rushuang held her heart in both hands, and the corners of her drooping eyes shone with resentment, "You dislike me for getting old, don't you? Don't forget that those beauties of yours will eventually grow old. Even though Leng Fengqing is still alive, she is now
He will also be uglier and older than me."
Yan Zhiyu stared at her, with anger dancing in his eyes, "You are so good, why are you mentioning her again? Didn't I tell you not to mention her again?"
Su Rushuang said bitterly: "Why can't you mention it? This despicable and stupid woman should not have been killed in the first place. Let her live. You can see how old and ugly she is now, and you will not miss her."
"
"Shut up, when have I ever missed her?" Yan Zhiyu was cold and vicious, completely exposed.
Su Rushuang smiled miserably and said bitterly: "I didn't think about it? I didn't think about it? If I didn't think about it, why do you personally pay homage to the tomb of the Tiansuan family every year? If I didn't think about it, why do you still keep her in the house?
Something? I didn’t think about it, why are the women you are looking for all so similar to her? "
Yan Zhiyu said coldly: "Why do you worship and why do you keep it? You know it very well. Don't pretend to be confused and go crazy here."
"Is it really just to let the common people see your love and righteousness? It's fake. You even deceived yourself. From the day you knew I couldn't give birth to a child, you started to miss Leng Fengqing. You superficially
You are deeply in love with me, but you have already abandoned me, right?"
Yan Zhiyu stared at her paranoid and ugly face and said coldly: "If you want to think so, just think so."
Su Ru's eyes turned angry, and her hands like dead branches grabbed him again, "Do you really miss her? Did you really like her?"
Yan Zhiyu pushed her away and said in disgust: "Madman!"
After saying that, he strode away with his sleeves rolled up.
Su Rushuang was furious behind her, "You would rather talk about a pile of bones than look at me? Do you regret it? I should have let her live, I should have let her live to this day, and let you see her
Aging is ugly, so unfair. When she died, she was in her prime. She will always be beautiful in your heart. And I, I have been with you for thirty-six years. I am old and you have failed me.
Yan Zhiyu, if you betray your heart, you will not die well!" This chapter has been completed!
