Su Qingyu's mind, which had been dizzy just now, immediately regained its clarity.

"What's going on? What does it mean to be brought back?"

Pearl replied: "I said I was scolded by the emperor's stick at the court meeting. When I came back, there were bloodstains from the waist down."

"He is already in the main room of the outer courtyard, and the doctor has also gone there. Miss, would you like to go and see him too?"

Su Qingyu raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and wanted to say: Your Majesty is wise.

After re-dressing and changing her clothes, Su Qingyu led people to the main room of the outer courtyard. When she entered, the old lady, Lin, Aunt Xue, Aunt Lian and others had already arrived, and the palace doctor was checking the injuries.

Su Qingyu walked to Mrs. Lin and asked in a low voice: "How is father?"

Lin didn't answer her question. She got closer and whispered to Su Qingyu: "I heard that your grandmother came to see you early in the morning. You didn't agree to any of her excessive demands, right?"

Su Qingyu glanced at Lin's expression, and she was not worried about Su Chengye at all. On the contrary, she was more afraid that Su Qingyu would be taken advantage of by them.

"Don't worry, mother, I didn't promise grandma anything." Su Qingyu said softly.

Lin felt relieved after hearing this and patted Su Qingyu's hand. The eyes looking towards the inner room were cold and indifferent, without any disturbance.

After a while, Doctor Xu walked over from the bed.

"Old Madam, Madam, the Marquis is not seriously injured, it's just a skin injury."

"I'm going to make some medicine right now. I'll be fine after a couple of drinks. But because the injury is below the waist, I still have to be more careful when taking care of it."

After Dr. Xu went out to prescribe medicine, the old lady and others also stood around the bed.

"What's going on? Why did you get a cane in the last court?" the old lady asked.

Su Chengye was lying on the bed, covered with Suduan's Four Happiness Quilt. Because of the pain, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat.

After hearing the old lady's question, he tried his best to lift his chin, but he still couldn't see the old lady's face.

When the old lady saw this, she asked someone to bring the brocade over, and everyone sat down around the bed.

"Did you anger the emperor at the court meeting?" the old lady asked urgently.

It's no wonder she's anxious. The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. If the emperor is really angered, the entire Su family will have to figure out their future.

Su Chengye moved the soft pillow under his body and found a comfortable position for himself. Then he said: "Yesterday, the fathers of several young men in the warehouse on the outskirts of Beijing were all punished with canes."

"The emperor said that it is the son's fault if he does not teach his father."

The old lady asked again: "Has this matter been investigated clearly? What happened? Why did Yuan Kai go to that warehouse in the middle of the night? Why did he ruin the fireworks for the Emperor's Longevity Festival?"

When Su Chengye mentioned this, he became very angry.

He said in a deep voice: "It has been revealed through interrogation. The Sixth Young Master of the Xu Family wanted to frame the First Young Master of the Xu Family, so he took Yuan Kai and others to tamper with the fireworks. Somehow, they caught fire."

"The ones who followed are all well-known dandies in Beijing. The emperor said that if the bombing is good, they should be blown to death."

Su Qingyu raised her head and suppressed the smile on her lips. What the emperor said was so satisfying.

If they were all killed, the capital would be spared a few disasters.

The old lady asked again: "I came back so late today just because I slapped you a few times?"

"Then the emperor has calmed down? When will Yuan Kai be released?"

According to the old lady's opinion, Su Chengye took the blame for his son. The emperor calmed down and it was over.

You can't kill all these people just for a warehouse of fireworks.

Su Chengye gave a bitter smile and said, "Release him? You don't know yet, because of what happened last night, Lord Xu has been confiscated and dismissed from his post."

"The Emperor's consideration of the teacher-student relationship between Mr. Xu Ge and Mr. Xu Ge has limited his family to leave the capital within two days."

After these words came out, everyone present was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. Su Qingyu was also a little surprised. What kind of bargaining chip did Shen Zhixiu have in his hand that he actually directly dismissed Xu Ge Lao. She didn't believe that the emperor could make such a decision just because of a warehouse of fireworks.

Before Su Qingyu asked, Su Chengye had already spoken.

"In today's court meeting, we first talked about last night's fireworks display, and the censor's impeachment of the Xu family for failing to do things well. Immediately afterwards, someone impeached Mr. Xu Ge and several young masters of the Xu family for seeking power for personal gain, and the emperor became a little angry."

"I didn't expect Shen Zhixiu to make another mistake. He impeached Mr. Xu Ge's confidant Weiyuan General Li Zhong. He had been living in the northwest for more than ten years, involving more than two million taels of silver. All of this money ended up going to the Xu family."

When Su Chengye said this, he glanced at Su Qingyu sitting aside with a complicated expression. If he had known that Shen Zhixiu was still alive, he would not have had so many arguments with his daughter.

Thinking of Shen Zhixiu's thundering methods in the court today, Su Chengye was deeply afraid.

Su Chengye continued: "From today on, Mr. Chen Ge will be the first assistant to the cabinet. The second assistant to the cabinet will be... Mr. Shen Ge."

When he said the words "Mr. Shen Ge", he looked at Su Qingyu specifically. Su Qingyu's expression remained unchanged, without any hint of joy or arrogance. Su Chengye couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if Su Qingyu was a son, their Su family might be able to prosper for three more generations.

Pity.

Aunt Xue came to her senses at this time and asked in panic, "What about our Third Miss? She is already engaged to the Xu family and has consummated her marriage with the Sixth Young Master of the Xu family. How can she get married if something happens to the Xu family at this time?"

Because Aunt Xue was anxious, her voice unconsciously raised a few points and was a bit sharp.

Su Chengye's face darkened when he heard this, and he yelled angrily at Aunt Xue: "Isn't she a good daughter you taught? If you taught her to be clean and self-respecting, how could anything happen to Huguo Temple?"

"The Xu family's marriage must be called off. With such a reputation, she can just wait to go to the temple to practice."

Su Qingyu frowned slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. If nothing happened to the Xu family, Su Chengye would be eager for his daughter to have a relationship with the Xu family. Now that something unexpected has happened, it is really ridiculous to blame women.

Aunt Xue was too frightened to speak anymore. She could only look at Su Chengye timidly and asked in a low voice: "Master Marquis, what if the Xu family refuses to break off the engagement?"

Su Chengye snorted, "You have to retreat even if you don't want to. Many young ladies and young men of the Xu family are engaged to be married, so they all have to retreat."

"Let's see what other people say first. Maybe the Xu family will take the initiative to break off the engagement tomorrow."

Su Chengye talked for a long time, and the wound was still painful, and tiredness appeared in his brows.

The old lady felt sorry for her son and said, "You are still injured, so you should rest first and we will discuss these matters later."

Then he turned to Mrs. Lin, Aunt Xue and others and said, "You guys should take good care of me here, don't let him work anymore."

In the eyes of the old lady, Su Chengye is the god of the Hou Mansion. Now that he is injured, his wife and concubine should take care of him with all his clothes on.
