Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 530

~ THE SU FAMILY’S DEMISE ~ 

After resting for a day, Mu Yunyao ordered people from Bu Xian Luo to deliver freshly picked high-end fresh tea leaves and a complete set of tea-making utensils.

Mu Yunyao encouraged herself secretly and began to choose the tea carefully.

Seeing her tireless appearance, the Grand Princess Yi De could not help feeling distressed. “You are just coming back. Why don’t you rest for two more days?”

“Grandmother, I was carefully looked after throughout the journey, so I wasn’t too tired. The tea at the Emperor’s Palace has run out, and there isn’t much left in your room either. Taking advantage of the good weather these past two days, I fried some tea leaves, which can be considered clearing my mind.”

“I will go to the Palace and talk to the Emperor about this. This man is getting older yet still impatient and won’t let you have a rest.”

“The Emperor did not urge me, but it’s because I couldn’t stand being idle. If Grandmother has something to say, I will listen obediently.” Mu Yunyao was hurriedly flattered.

“You.” The Grand Princess Yi De stepped forward, picked up a piece of tea, and sniffed it under her nose. After pausing, she said, “Yao’er, I heard that Xu Qi also went to Jiangnan.

“Yes, when I saw her then, I was also surprised. It was not easy to travel to Jiangnan.”

“Yao’er, Xu Qi’s thoughts are on Yue Wang, but she has always been measured, so I have never said anything. However, no one can tell about feelings since a person can change from time to time. Therefore, if she crosses the line in your heart, you can handle it on your own. There’s no reason to be concerned.”

Regarding the younger generation’s matters, she had always advocated letting them solve their problems alone, but Yao’ers was very thoughtful and had to think carefully no matter what she did. Therefore, Grand Princess was afraid Yunyao would worry about her and wrong herself in Xu Qi’s affairs.

Feelings cannot be forced. If Xu Qi learned about the difficulties and retreated, it would be for the best, and she would not mistreat her. But, if she still steps in after knowing that Yunyao and Yue Wang have a strong relationship, she can’t blame others for suffering losses.

Mu Yunyao was taken aback, and then there was a burst of warmth in her heart. “Grandmother, rest assured, I know what I’m doing.”

“All right,” Grand Princess Yi De pulled Mu Yunyao’s hand and found that her fingers were much rougher, so she couldn’t help but sigh. “Then continue with your activities. Grandmother will be waiting to drink your new fried tea.”

“Yes.”

Qu Mama helped Grand Princess Yi De walk out. Not long after they went out, the maid came to report: “Greeting, the Grand Princess. Miss Xu just returned from Jiangnan and came here to pay her respects.”

The Grand Princess Yi De’s eyes were slightly narrowed, “Qu Mama, go and choose some jewelry to reward Xu Qi. Tell her there’s no need to be polite because she just returned from a long-distance expedition, so she should go back and rest well.”

“Yes, Your Royal Highness Grand Princess.”

The Grand Princess Yi De sighed slightly. Everyone has selfishness, and she is no exception. Compared with her granddaughter, Mu Yunyao, Xu Qi was a little far away. She was reluctant to wrong Yao'er, so how could it be because of Xu Qi that she would put Yao'er into a difficult position?

Xu Qi took the reward from Qu Mama’s hand, and her tired face became pale. “Thank you for the reward from the Grand Princess.”

Qu Mama smiled and saluted, then turned back to the Qinfang Garden.

Mu Yunyao carefully stirred the tea leaves until dry, with serious light in her eyes.

Jin Lan reported, “Miss, Miss Xu Qi just came to pay her respects to Grand Princess Yi De. After the Grand Princess rewards her, she lets her go back to have a rest.”

“Grandmother didn’t see her? ”

“Yes.”

Mu Yunyao moved her eyebrows and silently kept the emotion in her heart. Xu Qi and the Imperial Physician have returned to the Capital. What about that poisonous lady? She should have arrived early.

After the tea was finished being fried, packaged, and distributed all over, the news about the poisonous woman was still not there.

Mu Yunyao was a bit worried and thought several times about letting Liu Liang send someone to look for her, but she eventually gave up the idea.

Things were going well in Linjiang City, and Mu Yunyao asked people to send Zhang Li, the midwife’s son, to Shuntian Manor.

Su Wenyuan and Su Qingwu are still held in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

The Six Princesses made many attempts to visit the Palace to plead to the Emperor numerous times during this time, but the Palace people always turned her away.

After Shen Binghuai received the case and inquired about its justification. he hurriedly came to the Grand Princess’ estate to ask for an audience.

Mu Yunyao did not inform her mother about her encounter with Zhang Li, the Old Madam Su’s Midwife’s son, in Jiangnan. Rather than hear it straight from her mouth, her mother should prefer this case to be clear and distinct.

After Grand Princess Yi De had listened to the whole story, she directly took Xu Yanhan into the Palace and brought the matter in front of the Emperor.

With Zhang Li as a witness, the handwritten letter left by the midwife of the Su family, and the testimony of Xu Yanhan’s adoptive parents, the Su family finally had no chance to turn over.

The Emperor was furious. He didn’t expect the Su family to have such audacity to hide Great Princess Yi De’s daughter for so many years, even arranging who she married and had children with. If it weren’t for Yunyao’s astute temperament, the Great Princess would never have had the chance to find her daughter, and the Su family, the culprit, was still at ease now!

The case was handed over to the Ministry of Justice, and the criminal department acted vigorously and quickly resolved the matter.

The Emperor personally decreed that Old Madam Su and Su Wenyuan be executed on charges of persecuting Lady Huiyi and Princess Wenxian. Su Qingwu, who had separated from the Sixth Princess, was exiled for 800 Li to serve in the army for killing his wife, Zhang Wan.

The Su family’s second branch was not much implicated, but Su Zhiyuan was still demoted.

Su Wenyuan waited to be beheaded, while Old Madam was executed by drinking poisoned wine.

Xu Li’s apprentice, Li De, is in charge of giving the poisonous wine. However, before he went to the Su family’s residence, he asked someone to send a message to Mu Yunyao in advance.

After hearing the news, Mu Yunyao thought for a moment, changed her clothes, and went to the Su family’s residence.

Li De waited outside the Ninghe Garden with the guards. When he saw Mu Yunyao, he hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully bowed: “Greeting, Princess Wenxian.”

“Eunuch Li does not have to be polite. I want to thank Eunuch Li for being thoughtful today. I have two words to say to the Old Madam. Therefore, Eunuch Li, please wait a moment.”

“Princess, please go ahead. This servant and others are waiting outside the yard.”

When Mu Yunyao stepped into the room, Wen Mama and Doctor Lin hurriedly knelt on the ground.

“Get up. I have already arranged a place for you. Wen Mama, you can go to the Second Madam to continue to take care of Su You. As for Doctor Lin, your original lowly status has been eliminated, and I already helped you re-enter the household registration. Now, you are just an ordinary woman in a commoner’s house.

“Thank you very much, Princess.” The two of them were overjoyed. They thought Mu Yunyao had forgotten them long ago, but they didn’t expect her to have arranged them properly.

Seeing that Mu Yunyao walked in, Doctor Lin hurriedly came forward to help Mu Yunyao pull up the curtain: “Please be careful, Princess. These days, the old Madam is confused, and her mind a little unclear.”

“I see.”

Doctor Lin took the silver needle, stabbed the Old Madam’s body a few times, and gave her some medicine before retreating to wait outside.

The Old Madam slowly turned her head, saw Mu Yunyao’s appearance clearly, and suddenly ground her teeth fiercely: “Mu Yunyao! Mu Yunyao, you bitch!” After she found out that she could speak, she quickly shouted. “Help, someone, help! It was Mu Yunyao who hurt the Su family, and it was she who hurt me. Someone, someone!”

“Old Madam, don’t waste your energy. I’m the only one who comes here to see you now.”
