Long Live the Empress

Chapter 295 Knowing the reason

Su Keqi didn't care about Yue Jinghao calling him uncle, and he looked down on her, so he automatically ignored why Yue Jinghao mentioned the emperor when talking about uncle.

"Bitch! Tell me how you harmed my daughter?"

"Who's the bitch?"

"Bitch calling you!"

"Hehehe... Sister Fu, Lord Su actually called him a bitch... Hehehe..." Ni'er was laughing so hard that her body was shaking, and Su Hongfu laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.

"How dare you!" Su Keqi angrily drew out the long sword from his waist and pointed it directly at Yue Jinghao.

Madam Hong held a long rolling pin in her hand, stood in front of Yue Jinghao, and shouted angrily: "With this old woman here, who dares to hurt our young lady?"

Su Keqi had been at the frontier for several years and had always been the highest commander there. He had never been threatened by a servant before. "You are looking for death!"

After saying that, Su Keqi swung his sword at Nanny Hong. Nanny Hong was no pushover either. She hit Su Keqi with a rolling pin, causing his hands to go numb.

"Alright! Lord Su, this is my Yue Mansion. If you want a fight, I'll go back to your General's Mansion!" Yue Hanwen shouted angrily while throwing a teacup to the ground.

Su Keqi tightly grasped the sword and glared at Yue Jinghao fiercely, "If you don't leave a pair of legs behind today, don't even think about leaving!"

"Why do you say that, Lord Su?" Yue Jinghao said calmly.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Yue Jinghao, a weak woman, could remain so calm, which forced Su Keqi to re-examine Yue Jinghao.

"You bitch, the Ninth Prince paralyzed me, and you dare to say it has nothing to do with you?" Aunt Su said gritting her teeth.

"My aunt also said that it was the Ninth Thousand Year Old Man who paralyzed you. It has nothing to do with me!" Yue Jinghao said.

"That's right! I heard that the Nine Thousand Year Old Man originally wanted to execute Sister Su, but it was the eldest lady who pleaded for you, so the Nine Thousand Year Old Man spared your life!" Su Hongfu said.

"In that case...Sister Su should thank the eldest lady!" Ni'er agreed.

"You..." Aunt Su pointed at the two of them with a trembling finger. After a long while, she said "you" but couldn't say anything. "Father saw it, right? They are always like this, confusing right and wrong. They clearly ruined their daughter, but in the end, it became her fault!"

"If Lord Su doesn't believe it, he can go to the Nine Thousand Years Old and ask for clarification! That day, the Nine Thousand Years Old came to the Yue Mansion and saw that Sister Su lived in the West Courtyard as a concubine, where only the mistress could live. The furnishings in the Second Miss's room were comparable to those of a princess, while our legitimate daughter lived in a place worse than a servant! This was blatant mistreatment of the legitimate daughter! So the Nine Thousand Years Old was furious and wanted to kill Sister Su to set an example, but our eldest daughter was kind-hearted. Not only did she not add insult to injury, she also pleaded with the Nine Thousand Years Old, so Sister Su saved her life... Why is Sister Su repaying kindness with enmity now?"

Su Hongfu's words made Yue Hanwen nod his head, "What Fu'er said is not false at all, I can testify to that!"

"Father!" Yue Tianhong, who was pretending to be unconscious, couldn't bear it any longer and sat up from the bed. "Even if Auntie deserves this punishment, what about my son? My son's future has been ruined by her! Now my son doesn't even dare to go out of the gate, let alone go to the academy! This is all because of this bitch!"

Su Keqi didn't know about Yue Tianhong's situation, so he said, "Hong'er, tell me now! Grandfather will make the decision for you!"

Yue Tianhong hesitated for a long time and could not make any clear words, "Anyway... it was this bitch who caused me to be punished by the emperor and banned from serving as an official for life! Grandfather, you must kill her! Kill her!"

"Brother Hong, even if you want to kill me, you have to tell me the whole story! Let me die knowingly, right?!" Yue Jinghao was not afraid at all. Instead, she sat on the chair and waited for Yue Tianhong to speak.

Su Keqi didn't know where Yue Jinghao got the confidence to be so calm. He glared at Yue Jinghao and said, "Hong'er, you say!"

What happened that day was a nightmare that haunted Yue Tianhong. He would never dare to recall it, let alone speak it out. The contemptuous looks of the crowd on the flower boat, the stripping and body examination by the eunuchs in the palace, the scolding by the emperor in the hall, the strange looks from the servants in the palace...

Thinking of this, Yue Tianhong began to tremble all over.

Su Keqi retracted his sword and turned to look at Yue Tianhong, "Hong'er, what's wrong with you? Say something?"

"Master Su, since the eldest master can't say it, and you want to listen, then I will tell you... that day on the flower boat..." Su Hongfu had just started when she was interrupted by Yue Tianhong's hoarse cry: "Shut up! Shut up! Don't say it! Please don't say it..."

“Don’t be afraid, Hong’er. Auntie is here. Don’t be afraid!…” Auntie Su held Yue Tianhong in her arms and stroked his head again and again, but she stared at Yue Jinghao, as if she wanted to glare her to pieces… “Father, don’t ask. Look at what they have done to Hong’er!”

Yue Tianhong's abnormal behavior made Su Keqi want to know the reason even more. He pointed at Su Hongfu and shouted, "You tell me! If you dare to lie, I will cut you into pieces!"

Su Hongfu pretended to be frightened, bit her lip and said weakly: "That day, the eldest master and... and Master Su... were there..."

Su Keqi lost his patience and drew out his sword again and slammed it on the table. Su Hongfu closed her eyes and said loudly: "The eldest master and the young master Su are spending a good night together on the flower boat!!"

Su Keqi frowned and said, "What's the big deal? Hong'er is not a child anymore, what's the big deal? Whose family is Little Su from?"

"That's it..." Su Hongfu was about to say something when she was interrupted by Aunt Su's shout.

"Don't say it!"

"Speak!" Su Keqi slammed the sword on the table heavily.

"Yes...Su Zhiwei, Lord Su..."

With a "dong" sound, Su Keqi sat on the chair in a daze and asked incredulously: "Who did you say...?"

"It's the eldest son's uncle...Su...Zhi...Wei..." At this moment, there was no trace of fear on Su Hongfu's face. She smiled and spoke word by word.
