Over here, in a courtyard.

It is the residence arranged by the Emperor Star Academy for the three brothers Shen Yanchu, Shen Yanshu and Shen Yanqing.

They came to Dixing Academy at the order of the Emperor to communicate with the students in the academy.

Shen Yanchu: "The third brother handled today's incident very well."

Shen Yanqing: "Brother, if I can't handle this little thing, then I'm too inferior. This is what my sister wants us to do, so we have to handle it steadily."

Shen Yanshu: "You really are not modest at all."

Shen Yanqing: "Second brother, I'm telling the truth. There's no need to be modest about this."

Shen Yanshu: “…”

Shen Yanqing: "Brother, tell me, am I right?"

Shen Yanchu smiled and said, "Yes, you are right. If you do a good job, there is no need to be modest."

Shen Yanqing said to Shen Yanshu: "Second brother, you heard it."

Shen Yanshu: "Okay, okay, okay."

Shen Yanqing smiled smugly and asked, "Brother, the news has spread. Su Yi and Su Xu already know about it, but it is still unknown whether they will really leave Emperor Star Academy secretly. If they don't leave, my plan will not be successfully accomplished. Should we do something else?"

Shen Yanchu shook his head, "No need, today's work is fine. These things should be done just enough. If there is more, it will seem deliberate. According to my sister, it doesn't matter whether Su Yi and Su Xu will move or not. If they leave, then we can continue. If not, forget it."

Shen Yanshu: "My sister doesn't want us to get into too much trouble."

Shen Yanchu nodded: "My younger sister is thoughtful and has a comprehensive plan. If Su Yi and Su Xu sneak out, it will break the rules of the Imperial Star Academy. Zhu's expectations for Su Yi and Su Xu will be destroyed, and Zhu will die with regret. If Su Yi and Su Xu don't leave, Zhu will die, and her son won't see him for the last time, which is also an endless regret. This game is just a matter of severity, but no matter what, it is beneficial to my younger sister."

Shen Yanshu and Shen Yanqing also understood what was said, so they didn't say anything more.

For the next period of time, they will all stay in the Imperial Star Academy. They also brought along capable servants from their own house. They have also instructed their servants to keep an eye on the matter, and once there is any movement from Su Yi and Su Xu, they will just act according to the plan.

……

Today is the ninth day of the first lunar month, and tomorrow is Su Xuan's wedding day.

Fuxi Hall.

Madam Su looked at Su Bingyan who was sitting next to her and said, "Xuan'er is getting married tomorrow. According to the rules, Zhu, as a mother, should also attend and sit in the main seat. But under the current circumstances, it is obviously unrealistic for her to attend. Do you have any arrangements for this matter?"

Su Bingyan: "Mother, now that things have come to this, Zhu is already seriously ill and dying, there is no need for her to come out again, lest it be embarrassing for the guests. Mother is Xuan'er's grandmother, it is not impossible for you to come out and do it for her."

Madam Su: "Since you said so, there is no problem with me."

Su Bingyan: "I'm sorry for the trouble you've put in during this period. Liu has also informed me about the preparation of Xuan'er's dowry. You've contributed your own money to make up for it. When the revenue from the Prime Minister's Mansion is collected, you'll get your share..."

Madam Su did not wait for Su Bingyan to finish his words and said directly: "There is no need for us to say such polite words between mother and son. We are all for the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion. We can't let outsiders laugh at us."

Su Bingyan: "Although mother said so, I, as a son, must not fail to show my filial piety to you."

Madam Su: "Okay, let's talk about this later. The most important thing right now is Xuan'er. Xuan'er has been staying by Zhu's side these days. Tomorrow is her wedding day. She should focus on the wedding instead of always staying by Zhu's side."

Su Bingyan: "My mother reminded me, I will go there later."

Madam Su: "Oh, there is another matter that you should be aware of, and that is the Shen family."

Su Bingyan: "Mother, how big is the pit in all the profits from the manors and shops that Shen gave as a dowry?"

Madam Su: "It's really hard to explain this matter, especially since such a strange thing happened in the Prime Minister's storehouse, and Zhu's own private storehouse also disappeared. Who can calculate it clearly? At most, it's just an approximation. What I mean is, if the two families argue about this matter, then won't it make a fool of themselves for others to see?"

Su Bingyan: "Mother, what you mean is that you should compensate Huan'er and then neither family will pursue the matter any further."

Madam Su: "The Zhu family has come to such an end. Those things should also come to an end. We must always consider the overall situation."

Su Bingyan: "Okay, as for Huan'er, I will find a chance to deal with it. Let's wait until Xuan'er gets married before we talk about it."

Old Madam Su was still somewhat worried. Zhu had suffered such a great loss at the hands of Su Huan, and the situation had turned into what it was now. If things could not be calmed down and they really had to fight to the death, there would be endless trouble.

Since Zhu was already doomed, she didn't want to make any more mistakes.

Su Bingyan could also see his mother's thoughts on these matters, but now, his eldest daughter could be said to be completely out of their control, not to mention the return of the Shen family. With the Shen family around, it might not be easy to let go of the past.

……

After Su Bingyan left Fuxitang, he went to Jinhuaxuan.

Jinhuaxuan, inside the house.

The maids serving nearby all bowed when they saw the person coming in.

When Su Xuan heard the voice, she also looked over and bowed to the person who came, "Father."

Su Bingyan glanced at the person on the bed, "How is your mother?"

Su Xuan: "Mother is a little dazed and confused, and her physical condition is getting worse."

Su Bingyan: "Tomorrow is your wedding day. There are servants here to take care of you. You should go back to your own courtyard and wait for your wedding with peace of mind."

Su Xuan: "Father, I..."

Su Bingyan said in a serious tone: "Marrying into Prince Jing's mansion and becoming Prince Jing's consort is the most important thing for you. Do you understand?"

Su Xuan paused for a moment, "Father, but what about Mother's situation..."

Su Bingyan: "You should be aware of what is involved in this matter. This is all she should bear."

Su Xuan also understood that as the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Her mother also said that she lost this time.

Seeing Su Xuan was silent, Su Bingyan said firmly, "Go back to your own courtyard. If something goes wrong with your wedding with Prince Jing, you know what it means!"

Su Xuan's heart skipped a beat and she frowned slightly, "Yes, father."

Su Bingyan: "Go ahead."

Su Xuan: "Yes, my daughter will take her leave."
