My mother is good at both medicine and poison, and she is reborn to kill people

Su Bingyan looked at Su Huan who was sitting beside him, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and there was no need to beat around the bush, so he asked, "Are those things outside all your work?"

Su Huan sneered and said, "What? Father, are you talking about the rumors circulating in the capital today, especially those involving your second wife?"

Su Bingyan: "We are the only two of us here, father and daughter. If you said I don't need to beat around the bush, then you don't need to hide it either."

Su Huan: "Father, are you going to play the father-daughter relationship card with me now? There is a lot of discussion in the capital, is it true or not, father, do you have no idea?"

Su Bingyan: "So, you admit that you did all these things?"

Su Hua: "How can it be said that my father said this? I just put a hat on my daughter. Is this what you, as a father, should do?"

"Father, are you really unaware of what happened outside the capital on the way back to the city yesterday?" Su Huan said calmly, "Father, you left the birthday banquet for Princess Zhaohua in advance in the same carriage with Zhu and Su Xuan."

"Why? The carriage I was riding in was right behind you. Why were you walking so fast? But my carriage was robbed. Afterwards, instead of investigating the cause, you reported it to Jingzhao Prefecture, causing a big incident and rumors all over the place overnight."

"Or did you already know the reason behind the ambush?" Su Hua said coldly, "Father, yesterday's cause leads to today's result. It's nothing but self-inflicted suffering. Who made some people so cruel and crazy? In the end, they just reaped the fruits of their own actions."

"You..." Su Bingyan was speechless and couldn't utter a word for a while.

Su Huan: "This person has been pretending for too long. He is not sincere and his true heart will eventually be exposed. Father knows exactly what kind of person Zhu is. There is one rumor that is spread outside that is wrong. What do you think, father?"

Su Bingyan was silent for a while before he said, "Are you prepared to watch the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion fall to pieces and be criticized by outsiders?"

Su Hua: "Father, don't you think what you said is ridiculous? It's not me who has brought disgrace to the Prime Minister's Mansion and has been laughed at by outsiders."

Su Bingyan: "What do you want?"

Su Huan: "Father, this matter has never been about what I want to do, but what you want to do."

Su Bingyan: "What do you mean?"

Su Huan: "Whoever made the mistake should be blamed."

Su Bingyan: "You want to push your stepmother out, but she is the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

Su Huan chuckled and said, "Father's principle is to put the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion first. Whoever brings trouble to the Prime Minister's Mansion will be eliminated from my side. I am the best example."

Su Bingyan: “…”

Su Huan yawned pretending to be tired. "Father, I've been touring Prince Ning's mansion all afternoon. I'm a little tired. If you have nothing else to say, I'll take my leave."

Su Bingyan saw Su Huan standing up and stopped her, "So, you don't want to make peace with this matter?"

Su Huan turned back to look at Su Bingyan, her tone turned cold, "Back then, after my mother gave birth to me, she was in poor health, and my father favored his concubine over his wife, allowing Zhu, the concubine, to be superior to my mother in every way. After my mother passed away, my father could not wait to make Zhu his wife."

"Father has doted on Zhu for so many years, she shouldn't repay father. Whoever caused the disaster, made father embarrassed, and caused the Prime Minister's Mansion to be framed in rumors and lose its reputation, should stand up and end it himself."

"End it?" Su Bingyan: "You want your stepmother to die!"

"Father, I didn't say that. It was you who said it." Su Huan added with a somewhat sarcastic tone, "I heard some gossip this morning, saying that something happened in the mansion's storehouse. It seemed that all the gold, silver and jewelry in the storehouse, which had been accumulated for many years, disappeared."

"Father, your second wife is really a good housewife. She managed to turn such a huge warehouse into worthless."

"Father, I remember that there was quite a bit of it, it was my mother's dowry." Su Huan stared at Su Bingyan with cold eyes, "Father, you should think about it carefully, how to explain it to my grandfather when the time comes."

After Su Huan finished speaking, she said nothing more and walked straight out.

Su Bingyan sat in front of the dining table, looking at Su Huan's back as she walked away, his face full of coldness and indifference. The Su Huan now was no longer the Su Huan of the past.

……

Jinhuaxuan.

The maid Chunying came in and replied, "Madam, the eldest lady left the Prime Minister's Qingsong Courtyard. It's just that it's the Prime Minister's courtyard. It's a bit difficult to find out what the Prime Minister and the eldest lady said."

Zhu: "What else can I say? The rumors outside are nothing more than that I, the stepmother, have treated Su Huan, the legitimate daughter, harshly for many years. In addition, what happened last night, we failed, and what happened this morning, and the subsequent Jingzhao prefectural governor was unable to suppress it. Everything is clear at a glance."

Nanny Li was standing by, "Madam, are you saying that the person behind this is the eldest daughter, and the Prime Minister also knows about it?"

Zhu: "What kind of person is the Prime Minister? The court is full of twists and turns, but he can sit firmly in the position of the head of all officials. How could he not see the truth behind it? It's just that he can't provide evidence. But the fact is that outsiders don't know the inside story and can only follow the trend and speculate. We who are in this game are not fools, how could we not understand?"

Nanny Li and Chunying were both surprised.

Chunying said: "Madam, the eldest lady just came out of the Prime Minister's courtyard, and she seemed fine. So what did the Prime Minister say when he summoned the eldest lady? This matter..."

"The turmoil outside will never be calmed down. This matter will not end well." Zhu said coldly, "If we want to calm it down, Su Huan must step out and cooperate with me to perform a loving mother and filial son act in front of everyone. Do you think this will happen?"

Nanny Li's face was filled with worry. "Madam, what will happen to this?"

Zhu groaned, "I heard that after the Jingzhao prefect left, the palace also sent someone to see the prime minister."

Nanny Li and Chunying nodded in response.

Zhu: "Your Excellency is an important minister of the Emperor. The Prime Minister's Office must not be tainted by this stigma. The root of this matter is me, so naturally we should solve the problem from this root."

When Nanny Li and Chunying heard what the lady said, they were both shocked.

Zhu: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If Su Huan doesn't die, I will be the only one forced to death!"

Nanny Li: "But Madam, you are the Prime Minister's wife, the mistress of the Prime Minister's residence, how can you..."

Zhu: "In front of the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister's Mansion is above everything else, not to mention that I have to protect Xuan'er and her two siblings in this situation."

Chunying: "Madam, we can't go to ask the old lady for help, obviously..."

Zhu: "That's why we can't ask for help. Only with the old lady around can we truly protect them."

Nanny Li and Chunying naturally understood what the lady meant.
