"Mother, mother, where should we go next?"

Seeing that the weather wasn't bad and the wind was relatively strong, Su Yuewu decided to bring Su Yitian to fly a kite.

"My good son, wait for Bing'er to come over. Mother will bring you to fly a kite."

What was a kite? Su Yitian tilted his head and thought for a moment. When he realized that he did not know Su Yeyue, he did not force himself to think about it anymore. He hugged Su Yuewu's face and gave her a kiss, then happily said, "That's good, that's good. I'll kite and fly."

Seeing Su Yitian's satisfied smile, Su Yuewu also happily smiled. With regards to the incident just now, it was like a trivial interlude that didn't affect her mood in the slightest.

Under Bing'er's guidance, they arrived at the open space in the outskirts of the city. Although Su Yitian was not born for long, he had grown up much faster than other children. It had only been a few days, and he was already as big as a five-year-old child.

Su Yuewu had only taught him once, so he was able to pull the string of the kite by himself. Seeing him happily running in front, she found a place to sit down and smiled as she watched him play.

Bing-Er was surprised and happy about her change. Bing'er had a lot of respect for the little miss. Although at the beginning, she would have thought that the little young master was a little scary, and was very different from the children of other families, but later on, she thought that the little miss's child was different from the others, so she naturally did not feel afraid anymore. Furthermore, the little young master was becoming cuter and cuter. Bing'er was satisfied with the current situation. She was even more protective than before, and she hoped that life would be as good as it was now.

"Tian Tian, slow down and be careful of your fall."

"Oh!" "I know."

A child is always a child, and no matter how special he is, he cannot erase the nature of a child.

"Miss, the young master is becoming more and more adorable."

Bing'er smiled. In her heart, although she couldn't understand Su Yitian's origins, he was still a child from her own womb. In addition to the times they had spent together, she treated him as her own son.

"Yeah, although she's still very naughty sometimes, she's really too cute."

In her previous life, she had been learning how to live every day since she could think of things. She was still a child and had yet to experience what life truly was before she had even died for her sister.

Seeing Su Yitian, who was not too far away from her, Su Yuewu was in a great mood. The two of them played in the countryside until the sun rose before returning. If it wasn't for the fact that Su Yitian was hungry, he might have continued playing. On the way back to the Su Clan, he kept telling her that he would be going again. She agreed with a good temper. Since there was nothing to do these days, he might as well go find time.

When they got back, the three of them still didn't go through the front door. Bing'er went in through the back door, while Su Yuewu took Su Yitian and jumped into the wall.

This day was the happiest day for Su Yitian since he was born. He wanted to be happy every day.

However, it was obvious that some people did not want them to realize this injustice.

Ever since Gu Xi had come over to tell Su Huai Yue Ying that he didn't plan to help, his entire body had collapsed. Ever since Su Hang Sheng had lost his profound strength, the Su Family had become the target of the entire Liu-Li Empire's attacks. The large families wanted to annex the Su Family to make themselves stronger, while the smaller forces wanted to make themselves famous by fighting the Su Family. Recently, the number of people who came to provoke the Su Clan grew more and more. If not for the fact that the royal clan was still unwilling to disrupt the balance of the dynasty to help them, the Su Clan definitely would not have survived until now.

Other than that, there was also the shock in the mall. The Su Clan was already unable to make ends meet. In this way, it would be easy for others to see their own downfall. Thus, they could only brace themselves and endure. Only Su Huai himself knew that under the current situation, he was already stretched to the limit.

He had thought that he would get good news today, but to think that it would turn out to be despair instead. Su Huai disappointedly wandered around the courtyard, wanting to find a solution. However, the more he thought about it, the more desperate he felt. He was no longer able to face the current situation and had not found help. To him, it was equivalent to sending the Su Clan into a bottomless abyss.

The Wind Moon Continent respected martial arts, and the reason why the Four Great Families could stand for a hundred years without falling was because every family had a Violet Rank expert within them.

As for this balance, it had been broken when Shangguan Lanfeng had used his external strength to help Shangguan Tulong forcefully advance to the next level. From that day onwards, things had developed at an unstoppable pace. After that, Su Hang's loss of his profound strength was tantamount to announcing that the Su Family had withdrawn from the Four Major Families.

This result was something that Su Huai was unable to accept no matter what, even Su Yuehua was unable to accept. Therefore, when she eavesdropped that something was wrong, she immediately ran to the palace to ask for help. She liked the First Prince the most, and she had always strived to become the First Prince's consort. The Empress also liked her very much, and she knew that on the day the First Prince became the crown prince, she had been chosen as the crown prince's consort, even though this was only a rumor. But this would not affect Su Yuehua's confidence.

She felt that as long as there was a day that the Imperial Family existed, the Su Family would continue to exist, so towards the rumors outside, she did not care at all.

After being angered by Su Yuewu, she ran off to the Imperial Palace to complain about her grievances, but she didn't know that her family's father was currently suffering from incomparable torture.

Gu Xicheng returned to the palace after relaying the news to Su Huai. In truth, he could not understand why his mother would insist on the Su Clan. Although he understood that the situation of the Four Great Aristocratic Clans was unbreakable, it did not mean that the surnames of the four clans could not be changed. However, since this was the request of his most beloved mother, he did not insist on it and just did as he was told.

As for Su Yuehua, he only felt disgust. There had never been a woman that could make him so disgusted, so when he heard her voice from the entrance of the Phoenix Brook Palace, he was prepared to turn around and leave. However, the sharp eyed palace maid had already seen him and notified him as soon as she could. He had no choice but to brace himself and enter.

Su Yuehua was still wailing about being bullied by Su Yuewu, but what she said was not the truth. When she could no longer continue crying and heard the palace maid's report of Gu Xicheng's arrival, she cried even harder. Especially when Gu Xicheng came in, she rushed over and hugged him, and told him in a choked voice:

"Big brother Xi Chao, you're finally back. Yuehua misses you."

Gu Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes towards the sky. She reached out her hands to push away the person who was tightly hugging her, but she was helpless as she held her too tightly. He had spent a lot of time tearing the sticky candy from his body for fear of hurting her and getting scolded by his mother. With a face full of black lines, he walked over and greeted his mother.

When the empress saw the helplessness on her son's face, she couldn't help but sigh. This child was still too young. He hadn't even been able to hide his emotions. It looked like he still needed more training. To Su Yuehua, she was the best person to sharpen his mind. If he could remain calm when facing the things he loathed the most, then there was nothing else.

If Su Yuehua knew that she was such a chess piece for the empress, who knows what she would think.

The mother and son duo spent a lot of energy before finally sending Su Yuehua away. However, the main reason was because Gu Xicheng was saying that the empress would occasionally give some advice to them from the side.

After watching Su Yuehua leave, Gu Xizhao took a deep breath and said to the empress, "Imperial Mother, why do you always tolerate her?"

The empress looked at him helplessly and finally understood why the emperor still didn't recognize him as the crown prince even now. Such a king was a potential threat to the country's future.

"My son, you've forgotten what I've said to you."

How could he not know the meaning behind the empress's words? However, he really didn't want to be this crown prince. How could he be a simple person, born and bred in the imperial palace? He only wished for his performance to be a bit simpler. When he fought for power, he didn't want it to happen. All he wanted was to protect himself. He had never longed for that position.

However, just because he didn't have any desire, didn't mean that others wouldn't have any hope in him. As the eldest son of the clan, some of his responsibilities were impossible to shirk.

"Mother, I'm from the province."

"Forget it, don't mind me if I say too much." What happened to the matter you were asked to investigate? "

"I went. I waited for three days, but didn't see the manager. His wife received me." It was also clear that they had already helped him once and paid him back. They would not help him again in the future. The boss is surnamed Su. "

"It's still the same family. What was his wife's attitude at the time? "

"More contempt. Furthermore, you seem to know my identity. "

"Knowing is not a rare thing. To be able to become such a large merchant guild in such a short period of time, naturally, one can't be a mortal." "You can go now. I'll leave this matter to you in the future. If the future is unfavorable for you, it'll be good for you to get rid of it as soon as possible."

He nodded his head and left. As he spoke of Madam Su, that peerless face of Mo Qingcheng involuntarily appeared in his mind. He had never imagined that there would be such a beautiful woman, and she was already a mother, yet there was not a single trace of age on her face.

He discovered that when he thought of her, his heart slightly trembled, as if something was about to spew out. He was unable to control the throbbing in his heart. It took a long time for him to calm down and remind himself not to think about it anymore. The merchant's daughter could not enter the royal family no matter what. Moreover, she was already a wife.

Su Yuehua didn't know what happened after she left, but after receiving the Queen's promise, she was very happy. With this, all she could think of was how to discipline Su Yuewu.

"Su Yuewu, just you wait. I'm not afraid of you anymore. Let's see how I'll deal with you in the future."

When Su Yuehua returned home, she saw her father sitting in a daze in the great hall with a dejected look on his face. His eyes were lifeless as he gazed into the distance, and it was unknown what he was thinking about. She had never seen Su Huai act like this before, and her heart couldn't help but thump as she slowly walked over.

"Dad, what happened to you?"

Su Yuehua's voice pulled Su Huai out of his contemplation. He looked up and didn't know how he should tell her that the situation at home was too chaotic, and he was already unable to respond. The family head had only been in his hands for a short while, and the entire family was already on the verge of collapse. If the Su family really fell under his hands, how would he have the face to face with the ancestors?

"Yue Hua, the Su Clan is about to fall."
