Long Live the Empress

Chapter 296: Tolerance and Generosity

Aunt Su crawled to Su Keqi's feet like crazy, hugged Su Keqi's legs, and cried, "Father, this is not my brother and Hong'er's fault, it was Yue Jinghao who framed them! Father, think about what kind of people my brother and Hong'er are, how could they do such a thing? They were harmed by the villain, father!"

Yue Tianhong also crawled to Su Keqi's side on his hands and feet, "Grandfather, I studied hard in the academy. The teacher and my classmates all praised me for my sincerity and love of learning! I engraved your words in my heart! I will never do such a despicable thing..."

Yue Hanwen was a little unhappy when he heard Yue Tianhong's words! What does "engraving the grandfather's words in heart" mean? Does it mean that his son only listens to his grandfather and not to himself?

After all, Su Keqi has been in the officialdom for decades. What kind of intrigues and deceptions has he not seen? This matter is a minor matter of poor family discipline, and a major matter of violation of human ethics... It depends on how people say it and think about it...

Thinking of this, Su Keqi said to Yue Tianhong who was kneeling on the ground: "Help your aunt up!"

Several servants hurriedly helped Yue Tianhong lift Aunt Su onto the bed and carefully covered her with the tattered quilt.

Su Keqi's eyes suddenly flashed with coldness, "Miss, you should call this general uncle..."

"Master Su, please be careful with your words!" Manju interrupted Su Keqi before he could finish his words. "The eldest lady is now the daughter of the eldest princess, the Princess Jing'an of our Wei Kingdom! The current emperor is the princess's uncle! Master Su asked the princess to call you uncle... What is your intention?"

Manou has grown a lot following Yue Jinghao. Yue Jinghao is now a princess. As Yue Jinghao's personal maid, she must show the necessary demeanor and must not be timid and cowardly like before and embarrass their princess!

Yue Jinghao was very satisfied with Manou's performance. She did not scold her for rudely interrupting Su Keqi. Instead, she picked up the teacup and blew on the tea leaves floating on the water.

Agate's big hat was put on him, making Su Keqi breathless for a moment. Why didn't he receive this news? But he soon recovered, "As the saying goes, ignorance is innocent! The princess is tolerant and generous, I'm sure she won't blame this general!"

"Now that Lord Su knows that this is Princess Jing'an, why doesn't he perform the greetings?" Agate said seriously with a stern face, imitating the nanny in charge of the palace.

"..."

The only sound in the room was Su Keqi's gnashing teeth!

"Miss, we are in the mansion now, so there is no need to worry about these etiquettes, right?" Aunt Su said angrily, clutching the quilt in her hands tightly.

"I don't agree with what you said, sister Su! The master often says that there is a country before there is a home! To be disrespectful, when the Queen meets relatives and elders, don't they also bow?" Su Hongfu said with a seductive look.

"You..." Aunt Su was choked. Even if she was angry, she couldn't show it!

"Fu'er! Don't say such disrespectful words again!" Although Yue Hanwen was scolding, his tone was full of pampering.

"Yes~~Master~~"

A real man can bend and stretch. Su Keqi reluctantly knelt on one knee and saluted: "Your Majesty, Su Keqi greets Princess Jing'an!"

Yue Jinghao put down the teacup, but did not let Su Keqi stand up. She said earnestly, "Sir Su, just now you kept calling me a bitch. Since you are Brother Hong's grandmother, I won't bother with you! But if you do it again, don't blame me for reporting it to my mother!"

Su Keqi knew that the mother Yue Jinghao was talking about was the eldest princess! If the eldest princess investigated and punished him for despising the royal family and insulting the princess, he and the entire Su family would be doomed...

"Your Majesty... remember this!"

"Get up~" Yue Jinghao said lightly after seeing him agree.

Su Keqi slowly stood up, but his momentum was greatly reduced, and his words had no deterrent power. "What Hong'er said...how do you explain it, Princess?"

"It has nothing to do with me! I felt a little dizzy that day, so I took a short rest on the boat and then went to see the lanterns with my maid! The servant on the boat can prove when I left, and the lantern vendor can prove whether I bought the lanterns!"

"How could you do such a thing yourself? You can just ask someone else to do it!" Aunt Su said.

"I heard that Lord Su Zhiwei invited Jingzhao Yin and the doctor to examine the case that day, and they found nothing wrong after the examination! If you don't believe me, you can go to Jingzhao Yin to check the case files!"

"There are countless colorless and odorless medicines in the world. It's normal that he can't detect it!" Aunt Su argued.

"Oh? It seems that Aunt Su knows a lot about that medicine..." Ni'er muttered this intentionally or unintentionally.

"That's right. This is the first time we know about this kind of miraculous medicine in the world! If anyone has this kind of miraculous medicine, let alone framing others to do something despicable, he might even be able to kill people without them even noticing, right?" Su Hongfu suddenly grabbed Yue Hanwen's sleeve in fear, "Master, I have only one worthless life, and it's not a pity to die! But whenever I think of the existence of this kind of miraculous medicine in our house, I worry about you and the old lady... Oh, Master, you've been feeling weak and tired in your legs lately, are you..."

"Now that Sister Fu said that, I also feel that the master has been a little abnormal recently. He always lies down and falls asleep... Then I... woooo, I don't want to die. I don't want to leave the master..." Ni'er knelt on Yue Hanwen's legs and began to cry.

Yue Hanwen was originally very suspicious, and thinking back to what the two of them said, he felt that it was the truth. After sending Su Keqi away, he would definitely find out who poisoned him!

Yue Jinghao secretly laughed in her heart. Her father was not poisoned at all. He was obviously exhausted due to excessive sex...
