BXBX NOVEL Chapter 36
“Ancestor, you can’t blame us for doing this. This time, Su Qian made a trip and took away all the treasures in our treasury. Now, we can’t even squeeze out the monthly allowance for our servants this month…” The Su family’s Fifth Elder’s face was sullen as if his mother had died. “Moreover, many people in our family have been injured today, and several elders have lost their lives. I’m afraid we won’t be able to find a replacement for them in a few years.”
“Damned b*tch!” Ancestor Su was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He smashed the table beside him into pieces with his fist. “Su Qian deserves to die, but the Ninth Prince also exceeded my expectations. It seems like we have to act quickly and get rid of Su Qian!”
“Ancestor, are you saying that we’re not going to give the remaining money to Su Qian?” Su Chenghua asked expectantly with his swollen face.
“Not only will we not give it to her, but we will also take back all the things she took away!” Ancestor Su’s face revealed a fierce look as he sneered, “I’ve already sent people to find other forces to help. In a few days, Su Qian will definitely be exterminated!”
“That’s right. We have to kill Su Qian before she officially gets together with the Ninth Prince!” Su Chenghua stood up excitedly and let out a cry of surprise.
“What’s wrong?” Ancestor Su looked at Su Chenghua, who was wrapped up like a mummy by bandages. He frowned and said with concern, “Why aren’t you resting after suffering such a serious injury? Quickly go back and rest. Leave the rest to me.”
The Su family was able to become a first-class force all thanks to Su Chenghua successfully deceiving Lady Nangong back then. That was why Ancestor Su valued him the most.
“Thank you, Ancestor.” Su Chenghua bowed and scratched his itchy neck through the bandage. He didn’t notice the poisonous blisters on his body and retreated obediently.
“There’s no need to panic. Take care of your respective businesses. Within a month, Su Qian will be dead, and everything will return to normal,” Ancestor Su said confidently.
“Yes.” The Su family seemed to have taken a calming pill and quickly retreated one by one.
In the next three days, the news of the Empress Dowager’s return came from the calm imperial capital.
The current Empress Dowager was the imperial noble consort. After the Emperor ascended the throne, she naturally became the Empress Dowager. However, the Empress Dowager’s health had not been good for the first two years, and she had been recuperating in the summer villa.
Su Qian had heard that the Empress Dowager’s body had recovered after being treated by a famous doctor, so she wasn’t surprised that she would return to the palace. What surprised her was that the Empress Dowager had only returned in the morning, and at noon, the Empress Dowager’s servant, Nanny Jin, came to find her and said that the Empress Dowager had invited her to the palace.
In the room of the inn, Nanny Jin stood outside the door with a group of palace maids and eunuchs. “The Empress Dowager has decreed that Miss Su is invited to the palace immediately.”
Inside the room, Su Qian was sitting at a round table with the two children. She glanced at Nanny Jin and said, “Got it. Let me pack up. You guys wait outside.”
Granny Jin’s attitude was not bad. After she bowed, she left the room and closed the door.
“Mother, you know the Empress Dowager?” Su Ye looked at Su Qian in confusion.
“I don’t know her. I’ve never seen her before.” Su Qian’s index finger lightly tapped on the table as she said thoughtfully, “But I can roughly guess why the Empress Dowager is looking for me.”
“Mother, can I accompany you?” Su Qingqing thought of the great palace with red walls and yellow tiles and couldn’t help but feel curious.
