C50

Su Jinruo said to Prime Minister Su. "Jinruo had only suddenly recalled that Jinruo has yet to pay his respects to his mother, and became anxious. He accidentally flipped over his chair.

The expression in Prime Minister Su's eyes changed, but he laughed: "Of course, you can't blame Jinruo. Madam has always been obsessed with buddhism and doesn't like people disturbing you. Sit down first and eat. "

Su Chi said indifferently: "That's right, third brother, don't blame yourself. After all the trouble we have gone through, third brother will definitely be very tired, to have a taste of the Trembling Feather Carp that my father specially prepared for third brother. In the past, I loved this dish the most, I believe third brother would also like it."

Although Su Chi's tone was light, all of his words were to ridicule Su Jinruo instead of gaining his favor.

Su Jinruo looked at Su Chi, her smile still the same, but she did not reply, and when Hong Ling held onto the wooden chair, she suddenly shouted out.

"Although the Cheng Yu Residence's dishes are appetizing, Jinruo thinks that no matter how good the dishes are, they will not be better than a chair that can be sat on. I wonder if Father thinks so too?"

What kind of person was Prime Minister Su, how could the officials who had been around for decades not hear the meaning behind Su Jinruo's words?

He frowned, only to hear Hong Ling's weak voice sounding out, as though he was trying to explain something for Su Jinruo.

"Master, this …" A corner of this chair has been broken! "

Prime Minister Su's pupils constricted. He slapped his hand on the table, causing the rice bowl to move.

"This chair was still fine a moment ago, why did it break after a fall?!"

Third Madame and Fifth Madame looked at each other with rare smiles before turning invisible and quietly watching the battle between the tigers.

Su Ranle lowered his hands and pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeves.

How could it be broken? She had clearly only loosened the chair a little, allowing Su Jinruo to feel uncomfortable all over. She did not break the chair …

The Prime Minister Su's gaze that was filled with anger was focused on the Madame Li. This matter of the Prime Minister's Estate had always been managed by the Madame Li.

If they didn't look for Madame Li, who could they look for?

The Madame Li hurriedly got up and kneeled down, and explained to the Prime Minister Su:

"Lord Prime Minister, please calm your anger. Perhaps this chair has been used for quite some time and is unable to endure the fall, so …"

"Oh …" Su Jinruo nodded to himself, and lightly interrupted Madame Li's explanation.

She said to the Prime Minister Su: "Jinruo is indebted to the Emperor's favor. The matter of the new official taking over as the bandit leader is said to be a joyous event that lasted for three months, and even though it has been a few days since Jinruo killed the bandits, it has not even been three months. Father already allowed Jinruo to sit in his seat for some time, and it looks like father is not like the ancient saying: I hope for more and am willing to become a dragon, and care more about Jinruo's future."

Su Jinruo was wise enough to take down Lan Jie Shan, and with his skills, he had become famous ever since he had exterminated the bandits.

As Su Jinruo's father, the Prime Minister Su had naturally received a lot of attention and gained a lot of fame for himself as well.

Maybe no one in the hall cared about Su Jinruo's future, and no one even wished for him to be defeated in public and die in public. But Prime Minister Su did.

Seeing that Prime Minister Su's face was starting to turn ugly, and anger was slowly seeping into his eyes, Su Chi stood up and said: "Father, don't be angry. Third Brother originally sat on Fourth Sister's seat, and because Father suddenly requested for Third Brother to eat with him, Second Aunt had not changed her chair, thus we had a misunderstanding."

"Yes, yes," Su Ranle nodded his head in agreement. She tugged on Su Ranxiao's sleeve, and gave her a cordial smile, "Fourth Sister, that position was originally yours, no?"

Su Ranxiao glanced at Su Jinruo, who had a faint expression on his face, then got up and gently said: "Father, the position that Third Brother had previously occupied was indeed Xiao-er's. However, that position will always belong to Third Brother in the future."

In the past, Su Jinruo did not even have the chance to sit together with the Prime Minister Su.

Prime Minister Su also had a lot of things to do, so he often did not eat in the great hall.

During their meal in the hall, they would occasionally ask Su Jinruo why he wasn't here.

At that time, the Madame Li would reply with a smile that if Su Jinruo's body wasn't feeling well, he wouldn't eat together with her.

Over time, he even forgot about the Prime Minister Su. So it turned out that he had a direct son …

Su Jinruo laughed, his pitch black eyes flashed with ridicule.

"Since Jinruo doesn't exist in this place, why should father allow Jinruo to be bullied and mocked by others here?"

Su Jinruo's tone of voice did not sound wronged, nor was it self-pitying. It was a kind of faint comment that heavily slapped Prime Minister Su in the face.

He was a dignified prime minister, and he had such a great amount of power.

There was no place for his own son in the hall, wouldn't it make him laugh out loud if word got out?

Madame Li opened his mouth to defend himself, but then he saw that Prime Minister Su was enraged, he stared straight at her, "Yai Yu (the daughter of Madame Li), you ignored the existence of your son, do you know, what kind of crime is this?"

If he had even said that he had committed a crime, then his father must be serious …

Su Ranle was secretly nervous, but he didn't dare challenge the anger of the Prime Minister Su at this time.

When Su Chi had just returned from his travels with the crown prince, Madame Li and Su Ranle had told him that his third brother was very scheming and that it would be difficult to deal with him.

At that time, he didn't believe it, thinking that Su Jinruo was just a fledgling.

Wild lads who haven't even read a few books, they think they're exaggerating.

Now it seemed that he had underestimated Su Jinruo …

Su Chi looked coldly at Su Jinruo, and then cupped his hands towards Prime Minister Su and said: "Father, third brother has just returned, and Xiang Fu is very happy, if father speaks like this at this moment, provoking such anger, I'm afraid it will piss off third brother, I think that Second Aunt was just careless, why would father be so angry?"

"Master, master …" Madame Li's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, the gaze she used to look at Prime Minister Su was filled with love.

"The thousand faults are all my fault. Recently, my lord prime minister's body has suffered from a cold and is not easily angered. I am willing to apologize to the third young master, please do not hurt my body."

Su Ranle laughed soundlessly. In terms of acting, who would fight with their mother?

Su Jinruo had merely obtained fame and fame for a short while, and might not even know what would happen in the future.

No matter how wronged his son was, it was more than the care of the person next to his bed. A single apology from him …

Seeing that the anger in the Prime Minister Su had weakened, the Madame Li continued to speak, "Lord Prime Minister has a body of gold, and is now the grandfather of the dragon in the esteemed imperial concubine's womb. How could I be angered and hurt because I committed a small mistake?"

Hearing this, Third Aunt glanced at Su Jinruo and sighed in her heart.

The Madame Li used his imperial concubine as a shield. No matter how pleased Su Jinruo was with the imperial concubine, he would undoubtedly be defeated in this battle.

As expected, the dark clouds on Prime Minister Su's face dissipated, and he became calm once more.

He looked at Su Jinruo, and initially, he wanted to blow the matter away, but he bumped into Su Jinruo's cold and deep eyes that were staring at him without blinking.

The Prime Minister Su felt guilty because of Su Jinruo's gaze and hurriedly looked away. He waved his hand and said: "The one who has been wronged is Jinruo, if you can get Jinruo to forgive, even if the rain has cleared up, I will no longer pursue your fault."

Su Jinruo laughed soundlessly, the corners of his mouth stained with ridicule.

Although Prime Minister Su helped her vent her anger, she did not mention anything. If not for her forgiveness, how would Madame Li be punished?

He did not have the heart to punish Madame Li, but he still said those words …

Was he trying to prove that he was truly good to her, or was he trying to prove that his Prime Minister Su was a just and strict prime minister?

Madame Li's reaction was extremely fast. He immediately turned around and bowed towards Su Jinruo.

"Third Young Master, today this concubine was inconsiderate, but it's all because of what happened so suddenly." Third Young Master, today this concubine did not think properly, and it's all because of what happened.

After Hong Ling found out that there was a problem with the chair, he moved a brand-new chair over to Su Jinruo.

Now, as Su Jinruo sat on the chair and drank the Clear Broth Soup with a lowered head, he had completely overlooked the Madame Li.

Su Ranle was flustered, but she knew that if Su Jinruo did not let her go, her mother would definitely ignore the crime of being the legitimate son.

Ranqi placed the most emphasis on family ethics.

Not only is it a great crime to pamper a concubine and destroy her wife, but it is also a great crime for the eldest mother to ignore a virgin.

Moreover, his mother was not a parent, and Su Jinruo was not a low status, upright son or concubine!

Once this crime was proven, mother would probably punish him even more harshly!

Thinking about this, Su Ranle clenched his teeth and let go of his arrogance. He suppressed his hatred towards Su Jinruo and stood up, saying to him, "Today is Third Brother's great day, a concubine of the Prime Minister Palace who is kneeling on the ground cannot get up. If word of this gets out, Third Brother's reputation won't be good!"

Su Jinruo leisurely picked up the sweet juice and began drinking it.

It was unknown if he really did not hear Su Ranle's voice or if it was something else, but his hands never stopped moving, nor did he take a single glance at Su Ranle.

Such arrogance!

Su Jinruo ignored his mother's and little sister's bowing. Su Chi's gaze at Su Jinruo was as cold as a frozen lake.

He clenched his fists and spoke to Su Jinruo: "Third brother is now a man of the imperial court, so everything must be done with mercy, only with an official's demeanor will you be able to live a peaceful life!"

Su Jinruo put down the sweet juice, his gaze sweeping across the expressionless Prime Minister Su. He carefully looked at Su Ranxiao, gritted his teeth and resented Su Ranle, then lowered his head and looked at Madame Li, finally stopping on Su Chi's green face.

Her eyes that were as tranquil as deep water lightly blinked as she spoke with a light tone.

"Second Aunt, please get up. If you kneel down again, someone would say that Jinruo did not appreciate your kindness and is tired of living."

The moment Su Jinruo opened her mouth, everyone present knew who she was referring to. Su Chi's originally green face instantly turned black.

His warning was so cryptic that if others didn't think too much about it, they would think that he, the elder brother, was teaching his younger brother a lesson and wouldn't be able to think of this meaning at all.

Who knew that Su Jinruo would be so blunt as to say what he wanted to say …

Su Chi's ice-cold gaze fell on Su Jinruo's body. This third brother of his really could not be allowed to live!

Third Aunt snickered as she looked at Prime Minister Su's slightly changed face.

For a time, it was not possible for the Madame Li to rise up, nor could it be possible for them to fall down.

After some thought, she lowered her eyes and said, "In that case, aunty thanks Third Young Master."

Su Jinruo's position in the Prime Minister's Palace had risen, and his authority to speak seemed to have increased.

Madame Li returned to her original position. She did not seem to care about Su Jinruo's groveling or kowtowing at all, and her face did not reveal any expression of awkwardness at all.

But Su Jinruo knew that those who could bear with it, had a stronger counterattack.

As Prime Minister Su sat in the main seat, he took in the expressions of the people on the table. His gaze landed on the silent Su Jinruo in the great hall.

Su Jinruo had his head lowered, holding the spoon in his hand, he stirred the soup in the bowl.

With his calm expression, it was as if the others would involuntarily follow and calm down with him whenever they took a glance at him.
