"Go away, stay away from me!" The eldest lady raised her sleeves and slapped the second lady.
"Oh, how dare you hit me?" The second lady staggered and almost fell, then turned around and grabbed the eldest lady.
"Ran Hua!" The third lady called from behind Su Ran Hua, seeming to suppress her voice. She clearly saw that everything was caused by her daughter. Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has been temporarily suspended by the emperor's order, Su Ran Hua
Luocheng was kept in the palace by the emperor and isolated from others in the name of recovering from his injuries. The Prime Minister's Mansion was in an unprecedented deserted state, but the ladies in the mansion started fighting fiercely, as if they had lost control for a moment.
"Why don't I dare to hit you?" The eldest lady was very unconvinced. She is a veritable wife of the Prime Minister. What's wrong with teaching a concubine a lesson?
If she doesn't give her some color, everyone will ride on her head.
Seeing the two ladies fighting, everyone in the prime minister's office didn't know what to do. No one stepped forward to break up the fight. They didn't know which side to help. If you make the wrong bet, you will be in trouble.
"Ran Hua, ask them to stop." The third lady said urgently. Although the two were fighting fiercely, she believed that Su Ran Hua must be able to persuade them to stop.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." This time, Su Ranhua unexpectedly listened to the third lady's words and walked towards the struggling figure.
"A wife of a prime minister and a mother-in-law of the Southern King, what are they talking about? Stop it!" Su Ranhua said while reaching out to pull their arms.
Su Ranhua's words seemed to be trying to stop the fight, but for the emotional eldest lady, it was like adding fuel to the fire. She had always been a superior person in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it was very unpleasant to be compared to the second lady by Su Ranhua.
Convinced, he held on to the second lady tightly, thinking of grabbing Hua Hua's face with all his might.
The second lady protected her head, lowered her head and faced the eldest lady, and hit her hard.
Su Ranhua stood behind the second lady, his eyes flashed over the hairpin that was originally on her head but was now messy and about to fall off. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Su Ranhua's hand seemed to be helping the second lady to resist the eldest lady, but he picked up the hairpin very quickly, followed the direction of the second lady's head, tapped his fingers, and the hairpin flew towards the eldest lady's neck.
"ah!"
With a scream, the eldest lady suddenly let go of the second lady and held her neck tightly with both hands.
The hairpin had been quietly retrieved by Su Ranhua and hidden in his sleeve.
The eldest lady opened her incredible eyes, fell to the ground slumped, and refused to close her eyes.
"This... this..." The second lady was stunned by the sudden accident.
"The eldest lady was killed by a hidden weapon!" The eldest lady's personal maid ran to her side first and exclaimed as she looked at the scar that was several inches deep on her neck.
"Assassin, assassin, catch the assassin quickly!" The steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly called for everyone to search around.
"What's going on?" The third lady looked around without knowing why, but she didn't notice any movement. So the eldest lady was stabbed to death?
"Mom, let's go back to the house quickly. It's too chaotic outside." Su Ranhua grabbed the frightened third lady and asked Xiao Cuiliu'er to run towards the side courtyard.
The Second Madam felt like she was surviving a disaster, staring blankly at the body of the First Madam. This woman who had been fighting with him for almost twenty years died like this?
"Madam, would you like me to come back?" asked the second lady's personal maid.
"Quick, hurry up, let Ranqing still have... It's best to tell the prince... let them all come..." The second lady said tremblingly, "The prime minister's house is too uneasy, let the prince help check it out."
The second lady was really afraid that she would be confused and suddenly killed. After the maid left in a hurry, the second lady hurried back to her house, closed the windows and doors tightly and did not dare to come out.
After hiding for a while, it gradually became quiet outside. The second lady pressed her chest and just took a breath when she heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who?" the second lady asked cautiously.
"Second Madam, it's me." Su Ranhua was amused by the second lady's scared voice.
The second lady opened the door, and Su Ranhua rushed into the room without hesitation.
"What are you doing here?" The second lady looked around behind Su Ranhua and asked nervously.
"Of course I'm here to congratulate Erniang." Su Ranhua shook the hairpin in his hand and said with a smile.
"What are you holding?" The second lady opened her pupils wide and looked at the familiar hairpin and the chilling blood stains.
"Don't you recognize it, Er Niang?" Su Ranhua handed the hairpin to the Second Madam, "I picked this up when the Eldest Madam fell to the ground."
"It was you, you killed her!" The second lady avoided the hairpin in horror. She didn't understand how Su Ranhua stabbed the eldest lady to death with her hairpin, but she was sure that Su Ranhua was the real murderer.
Su Ranhua made her more and more frightened. Knowing that she did it herself was scarier than knowing that there was someone behind her.
"Second mother, please don't spit on anyone!" Su Ranhua frowned and shook the hairpin, "This is your thing. The eldest lady also died while fighting with you. Did you lose control of your emotions temporarily and pull it out?
Fachai fought back and accidentally killed her?"
"You don't want to slander anyone!" The second lady hurriedly retorted to Su Ranhua, "If I were the one who killed him, would I have thrown the murder weapon where he was for you to find? Don't want me to take the blame for you."
"I said you accidentally killed the eldest lady because you lost control of your emotions. How could you still think of hiding the murder weapon? Could it be that you killed her intentionally?" Su Ranhua approached the second lady and smiled slyly, "I hid it for you in time.
I found the murder weapon, you should thank me."
"No, no, it's not like that." The second lady waved her hands and backed away. She felt that Su Ranhua was like a devil, approaching her step by step and forcing her.
"Shh -" Su Ranhua made a silent gesture and hid the hairpin in his sleeve, "Er Niang, don't you really hope to take the place of the eldest lady? Now that she is dead, the prime minister's office has the final say.
It's your turn, hostess, do you think I should congratulate you?"
Su Ranhua's words woke up the second lady. She stopped her panicked steps and stood there, her eyes shining with fear.
"Don't worry, the eldest lady was killed by an assassin and has been investigated. But my father is in the palace now. The Prime Minister's Mansion cannot be without its master for a day. It is also the time for Er Niang to take charge of the family. Don't panic and lose your mind.
I have my own opinion." Su Ranhua further said.
"Tell me, what do you want?" the second lady adjusted her breathing and asked.
"Er Niang is a quick responder." Su Ranhua praised, "The eldest lady has stepped on our mother and daughter for so many years, and her death is also an advantage for her. Er Niang, you are a smart person and know what to do. The property of the prime minister's house is handed over to her.
The second mother took care of it, leaving some for my mother to eat and drink well, and tried various methods to coax my father not to think about anything and make things difficult for my mother. My mother was imprisoned in the side hospital this time and almost died of illness.
I won’t settle the debt with you, so you can take care of yourself from now on.”
