“Master, your marriage to Mr. Si...”
The first thing they did when they entered the capital was to come to Si's house to cancel their engagement, but since the master sent someone to send a message for them to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion together, they probably didn't have to cancel the marriage.
Speaking of which, no one in the Su family is dissatisfied with the Si family.
The reason why he came to cancel the engagement was just an external comment. The master did not want to delay Young Master Si.
“The Si family values righteousness and does not despise me as an orphan, so naturally this marriage will count.”
Thinking of the young man questioning her angrily, Su Qiruo was no longer so repelled by the marriage.
It's just that it's hard to say who belongs to the Prime Minister's Office. If there was someone behind the scheme against the Su family, then she would never let it go.
Three years ago, in the battle of Yuchuan Pass, the 300,000 Su family troops and the Su family were almost completely wiped out. If it weren't for someone liaising with foreign enemies, the Tatars would definitely not have such great ability and calculations.
The eldest sister and the second sister sacrificed their lives to save 50,000 soldiers. After excluding the sick and disabled, there are now less than 100,000 soldiers left in the Su family's army.
In the past three years, Su Qiruo has recruited more than 50,000 new soldiers. But how can the new soldiers compare with those veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time?
In order to make the soldiers live easier, additional subsidies were given to the disabled soldiers and the families of the soldiers who died. The Su family can be said to be quite poor now.
Fortunately, Su Qiruo's maternal grandfather's family had a cousin who abandoned literature and went into business. In the past few years, the business has grown bigger and bigger, and she also established a relationship with the Liu family of the imperial merchants. She earned a lot of money, most of which was subsidized to Su. Qi Ruo.
Su Qiruo's grandmother had already become an official, and none of her aunts stayed in the capital to serve as officials, so they were all sent out.
When she came to the capital, there were really no elders she needed to visit except the Si family.
On the other hand, the queen in the palace had some friendship with her father. The two of them had studied together in the Imperial College when they were young. They had been classmates for many years and had a good relationship.
Su Qiruo's visit to the capital this time was also the Queen's intention. In the past three years, rumors from outside have also spread to the palace, and the Queen is very angry. He deliberately supported Su Qiruo and told the world that even if the Su family had no elders, as long as he and the emperor were here, they would never let anyone bully the descendants of the ministers.
If Su Qi also wanted to go to Beijing to investigate the secret collusion between the court and the Tatars, it would be absolutely useless for her to stay in Beichuan and train troops.
No matter who is behind the scenes, they will be buried with 200,000 Su family troops and her entire Su family.
“The master is kind, I just hope that the Si family will not disappoint anyone.”
The relationship between the Kyoto aristocratic family and the princesses is intricate. The Prime Minister's Office has never taken sides with the outside world. I hope this is the case.
After all, the master has found Huangfu Danqing, and everyone who participated in the battle at Yuchuan Pass is an enemy of her Su family.
“I saw that Old Prime Minister Si was upright. When he mentioned his grandmother, he was filled with grief. His emotions were real and not just pretending.”
If it was all pretense, Su Qiruo could only say that she might not be able to fight this old fox.
But if not, maybe Prime Minister Si can also help her.
I believe that the loyal ministers in the court are willing to seek justice for the Su family.
"Before she died, the old lady said that Si Xiang was trustworthy, and my subordinates were willing to believe him."
Before she died, the old lady entrusted her and Su Yu to take care of her master. They were four or five years older than their master, so they naturally had to think more about him.
“Don't rush to a conclusion yet, the water in Kyoto is deep, let's just wait and see.”
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. (End of chapter)
