At this time, the magistrate of Yucheng, who had received the news, trotted over with a group of officials, big and small, and other officials. The seventh prince came to his Yucheng. He, a small magistrate, really did not dare to neglect.
Ye Shihan had been watching all this with a gloomy face. When he saw Su Muer's desperate eyes, his heart ached.
"Your Highness is here. I have been negligent. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Ye Shihan stood condescendingly and looked at the officials kneeling on the ground, his eyes filled with darkness.
He still vividly remembered the scene of the officer teaching the Su family. At that time, he saw that Su Muer's face was livid and she was trembling all over. That scene must have made her feel sad.
The arrogant official turned pale when he heard this. Although he didn't know what the relationship was between the Su family and the Seventh Highness, the Su family's daughter came with him, so their relationship must be extraordinary.
He knelt down hastily on the ground under the direct point of Liu Hai's long sword, and his lips began to tremble uncontrollably.
Ye Shihan, with his hands behind his back, had a gloomy face, his eyes so dark that they seemed to squeeze out ice.
"Master Wang, you have managed this Yucheng very well. The emperor has issued many decrees to remind you that the veterans who have been sent here are not allowed to do manual labor. Have you turned a deaf ear to it?"
"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare."
Mr. Wang turned pale with fright and hurriedly kowtowed on the spot.
Ye Shihan pointed at Su Dening and his father, who were all injured, and shouted sharply:
"Then how do you explain this?"
Mr. Wang raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, trembling and whispering,
"This...is a result of the official's lax discipline. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Excuse me? I think your official career has come to an end."
His voice suddenly rose, frightening Mr. Wang into begging for mercy.
"Your Highness, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down."
Ye Shihan lowered his head and glanced at Su Muer. He closed his eyes slightly and let out a long sigh of relief.
The Wang family has been serving as officials in Yucheng for generations, and the Su family has to stay here for a long time, so it is inconvenient for him to get things done.
Thinking of this, he took a breath and spoke,
"Give you a chance to forgive this man. Let him take over Su Dening's job. Su Dening's father is old and not suitable to work in the quarry. Find him a lighter job."
"I understand, I understand." Mr. Wang nodded hurriedly.
Ye Shihan looked at him with sharp eyes and said:
"If the people of the Su family are harmed in the slightest due to your lax discipline, please be careful about the black gauze hat on your head and the human head on your neck. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand."
"Why don't you go quickly?"
Liu Hai held a long sword and gestured at the official, who hurriedly ran to move the stone.
Looking at all this, Su Dening felt like a dream.
He looked at Su Sanya in front of him, his already somewhat gray eyes were filled with muddy tears.
He looked up at Ye Shihan and knelt down to kowtow.
"Su Dening wishes His Highness the Seventh Prince."
Ye Shihan hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Master Su, you're welcome."
Su Mu'er also nodded to him. Without him, she really didn't know how to resolve the scene she just saw.
Not to mention how she, who has no status, can save her father and grandfather from this hard work.
It seems that no matter when a person has status, it is the most important.
The look in his eyes when he looked at her was no longer as sharp as when he looked at those officials before.
When the group of them returned to the Su family's residence, they discovered that it was just an adobe house with nothing but a few beds.
It turned out that the money that Su Muer asked people to send to Su Dening was just as she expected. It was really very little. Besides, the official officials here have a big appetite. If they want a decent house, it would cost them a lot.
Spend a lot of money.
Standing in this dilapidated room, Su Muer's tears fell again.
"Third sister, please sit down quickly. We are really surprised that you can come."
Su Yuanqing and Su Yuanming both had marks of being whipped on their faces, but they still had smiles on their faces.
Ye Shihan waved his hand to the bangs behind him, nodded, turned around and went out.
When Mr. Su saw Ye Shihan still standing at the door, he quickly wiped an old wooden stool in front of him with his sleeve.
"Your Highness, please take a seat. The environment is a bit crude. I'm sorry for neglecting you."
Ye Shihan nodded, but did not sit down, with a cold look in his eyes.
He nodded to Su Mu'er, then clasped his fists to Su Dening and said:
"Master Su, I have something else to do, you guys can talk first."
Su Dening nodded hurriedly, "Send you off to Your Highness."
After he left, the Su family's expressions instantly relaxed.
Mrs. Su hurriedly held Su Muer's hand and looked at her with cloudy eyes.
"Sanya, why are you here? How is your grandmother? How is your family? Is the Su family still there?"
Grandfather's series of questions made Su Muer not sure where to start.
Su Dening quickly dissuaded her with a grin, "Dad, Sanya just arrived, please let her rest."
Su Muer shook her head. She understood her grandfather's anxiety and her father's distress, but she knew even more that they all wanted to know what was going on at home.
So, she told them everything that happened at home over the years, except that she didn't mention Doudou. She was afraid that they would ask about Doudou's life experience, and she didn't know how to answer.
Su Yuanqing and Su Yuanming were both listening attentively. Su Dening and his grandfather nodded while listening.
"Sanya, I'm so sorry for you, a woman has been able to support our Su family all by herself."
As Su Dening spoke, he raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears on his face, and a burst of turbid tears fell from his eyes.
"Father, what you said is serious. Sanya is also from the Su family and should work for the Su family. But my grandmother and mother are thinking about you, so I came to see it on their behalf."
Speaking of this, thinking of the scene just now, Su Muer felt sad again.
It can be seen from this that my grandfather and father had a very difficult life in these years.
"Seeing you coming, we feel relieved. With you at home, your grandfather and I can feel at ease."
Su Dening sighed with emotion, "By the way, have Yuan Min and Qing'er grown up too?"
Su Muer pursed her lips and nodded, "By the way, Yuan Min won the first prize, but I don't want him to become an official in the court. The officialdom is too complicated and his personality is too stubborn. I'm afraid he won't be able to cope with it."
She deliberately did not mention that he was the son of a guilty minister, as she was afraid that this would bring psychological pressure to her father and grandfather.
Su Dening also knew that his daughter said this because she was afraid that he would be psychologically burdened, so he did not mention it again.
Yuan Qing and Yuan Ming were a little excited when they heard this.
"That's great. As long as our Su family has the top prize, we can be an official or not."
"Yes, this proves that our Su family still has hope."
Seeing the happy smiles on the scarred faces of her two brothers, Su Muer felt something indescribable in her heart.
"Dong dong dong!"
Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and Su Yuanqing hurriedly opened the door.
