Chapter 43 How did you know there was a surprise?
Su Changyuan was also stunned when he saw the Su Ai heroine.
He quickly reacted, a smile appeared on his face, and his hunched waist re-straightened.
He smiled and asked, “Shallow, are you alright?”
The heroine looked at her father with red eyes and choked back a sob as she nodded, “My daughter is fine.”
Su Changyuan gazed past the female lead and saw the furnishings in the cell behind her, and nodded with a light smile, “In that case, very good.”
The female lead looked at her father’s appearance and finally couldn’t hold back, tears rustling in her eyes and rolling down.
She looked at Su Changyuan and once again asked after him, “Father, who in the end has harmed you all?”
After she finished speaking, her face changed and she said indignantly, “Was it Zhao Yi who ordered this? He wanted to take revenge on me, so why did he implicate you all?”
Su Changyuan sniffed and patiently counseled the heroine, “Shallow, don’t be a little girl’s gesture. As long as you have no shame, life and death is just a matter of life and death, why worry about it!”
The female lead froze for a moment, “Father ……”
She was still about to say something when Su suddenly rushed out from behind Su Changyuan.
She glared at the female lead, and in her eyes was actually a color of disappointment that was hard to hide: “Shallow, after all this, do you still not know how to repent?”
The female lead was stunned again, then indignantly said, “Mother, what does this matter have to do with my daughter? It was clearly that Zhao Yi who disregarded the king’s law and killed people wantonly! My daughter was only trying to uphold justice, but she ended up being slandered by him and is now behind bars! Instead of avenging my daughter’s wrongdoing, mother is siding with the violent villain and blaming her, how can this be justified?”
Su was not as sharp-tongued as the heroine, and being snubbed by her, she was immediately furious, shivering and unable to utter a single word!
The heroine saw that she had won her mother’s defense, her heart was pleased, and suddenly thought of something and said, “Father, wait a moment, I have a surprise for you!”
After saying that, she hurriedly turned around and returned to her desk, opening the article she had just written and holding it up in front of Su Changyuan.
The heroine eagerly said, “Father, this is the article that my daughter just wrote!”
She proudly said, “This article is my daughter’s best work ever, please also take a look at it!”
Su Changyuan froze for a moment.
Obviously, he didn’t expect that the female lead would be able to cultivate herself and make a brocade article out of this death row.
Su Changyuan had a pleased face, “Shallow, you’ve grown up, my father is very pleased.”
He bowed slightly and pressed down the wooden shackle, trying not to let it cover his sight.
Seeing this, the heroine hurriedly raised the manuscript.
Su Changyuan then breathed a sigh of relief, then read it carefully.
After only one glance, his gaze stagnated.
The prince commits the same offense as the common people?
Surprise?
This was a delightful surprise!
Su Changyuan’s eyes were staring at the manuscript with dead eyes, and his body couldn’t help but tremble.
Before the city guards came to the door and said that the female master had committed a felony, and that all of the Su family was going to be sent to death row, Su Changyuan was not even as terrified and desperate as he was at this moment.
Ever since the day the female lead said she wanted to withdraw from the marriage, Su Yuan Yuan had expected to die sooner or later.
He had also arranged his home long ago.
When the city guards went over to arrest people, he instead relaxed in his heart and didn’t have to live his life in fear anymore.
However, what Su Changyuan didn’t expect was that it wasn’t enough for the female lead to involve the family, but she even wanted to drag on the nine clans of the Su Clan!
Why would she do that?
Su Changyuan forced down the shocked anger in his heart, and with difficulty squeezed out an ugly smile on his face, patiently asked, “Shallow, have you ever shown this article to anyone else?”
The heroine shook her head, “No, father you were the first to see it!”
After saying that, she also glared at the jailer next to her, “I finished writing it earlier, and originally wanted to send the manuscript to the Spring Tide Poetry Society, but these lowly servants didn’t even send it, it’s simply outrageous!”
Hearing this, Su Changyuan was instantly relieved.
He turned around, clasped his hands, and saluted towards that jailer with difficulty.
“Many thanks to this errand boy for saving my Su Clan’s entire family!”
The jailer waved his hand and casually said, “Lord Su, I’ve heard of your name and know that you’re a good official, so there’s no need to say anything polite. Since you’re here, then advise the Imperial Concubine properly, the rule of not allowing things to be sent out from death row is not just as simple as making things difficult for death row inmates, more often than not, it’s saving lives! Just like just now, if it wasn’t for the villain stopping it, your Su Clan’s nine clans would all have to land on their heads!”
Seeing that the heroine hadn’t understood, the jailer grinned, “Miss Su, you are a noble imperial concubine, naturally you can’t look down on us lowly servants. But there is an old saying I still hope you can listen to: when people are under the roof, they have to bow their heads! I hope you can understand this truth and suffer less in the future.”
The heroine ignored him, she was still immersed in the scene where Su Changyuan thanked the jailer.
She asked in disbelief, “Father, do you think my writing is bad?”
Su Changyuan shook his head, “Your writing of this article is naturally excellent, the level is already far above father!”
The heroine was even more puzzled, “Since the article is well written, why are you like this?”
Su Changyuan said, “There is no problem with this article! There’s also no problem with the prince committing the same offense as the common people!”
Su Changyuan finished and sighed deeply.
“But, Shallow ah, these words shouldn’t come out of your mouth!”
“You turn around and look behind you!”
“You enjoy the royal right of birth and honor, but you ended up turning around and aiming your arrows at the royal family and royal power!”
“Do you even know what you’re doing?”
“You are placing the entire Su family in a state of no return!”
Hearing this, the female lead was unconvinced.
“I’ve already asked for a withdrawal! And it’s not like I wanted this cell, it’s something they had to shove down my throat, I don’t care about it!”
Su Changyuan was completely desperate.
The jailer on the side heard the heroine’s words, and his face also became very wonderful.
How does this mental state of the heroine look crazier than the emperor?
When the old emperor who had gone mad heard her words, he would probably be so angry that he would sit up in the middle of the night and curse:
“No, which one of the two of us is actually insane?”
Su Changyuan glanced pleadingly at the jailer, who sighed and suddenly reached out and snatched the manuscript from the heroine’s hands.
The heroine’s face suddenly changed drastically, “What are you doing? Give it back!”
The jailer didn’t pay attention to her, instead, under Su Changyuan’s pleading gaze, he placed the manuscript directly on a candle flame to the side and burned it.
“Father, don’t!” The heroine screamed miserably.
But no one paid any attention to her!
The heroine looked at the burning manuscript as if she had been drained of her soul and collapsed to the ground.
The jailer’s gaze swept over the heroine, then said to Su Changyuan, “Lord Su, I can help you this time, but it’s impossible to keep an eye on the imperial concubine. You’d better find a way to walk around and try to ask for a beheading as soon as possible.”
Su Changyuan looked at the burned manuscript and sighed in relief.
He gratefully said, “Thank you, Master Differential! My humble servant also has a few close friends in the Royal Historian’s Office, so I will send a message to them and ask them to help operate to behead my entire family as soon as possible!”
The jailer nodded, then pushed on the wooden shackle.
“Lord Su, your cell is in front. For the sake of the imperial concubine, I won’t separate you from your wife. While there’s still some time, you couple can say your goodbyes.”
Su Changyuan immediately bowed to the ground with a long bow, “Many thanks, Master Differential! Great kindness, Mister Su is unable to repay it! Under the osmanthus tree in the Su family’s backyard, Mister Su hid some specialties two years ago, so I’ll give them to the poor master, please accept them with smiles!”
Hearing this, the smile on the jailer’s face grew wider.
He smiled and said, “Lord Su has a good heart! Since this is the case, I won’t be polite! ”Lord Su, you and your wife have had a long journey, so you shouldn’t have had a meal yet, right? The two of you go to the cell first to rest, and I will go prepare your meal.”
Su Changyuan hurriedly said another thank you.
As he passed by the Lady Lord, Su Changyuan paused in his steps for a moment, then let out a long sigh.
The female lead acted as if she didn’t feel it.
Her eyes stared blankly at the burnt manuscript with only a little remnant left, her face ashen, looking like she had been struck down.
The jailer glanced at her, his eyes filled with mockery.
He was finally sure.
This woman wasn’t pretending, she was truly stupid!
What time was this?
Instead of thinking about how to save her life, she’s even writing some bullshit article!
Does she really think that no one dares to kill her?
Shaking his head, the jailer greeted the others and quickly walked out the door.
There was a small path from the death row to Su’s house.
Worried about a long night, the jailer didn’t delay and went straight to Su’s house after leaving the door.
Just after turning out of Vermilion Bird Street, the jailer collided with a little girl with withered hair.
The jailer had refined a pair of fiery eyes in death row.
He swept over the girl’s body, saw her withered hair and skinny figure, knew that there was not much oil and water, cursed a bad luck, and buried his head to catch up again!
The little poisonous creature climbed up from the ground, glanced at the far away jailer, also not angry, patted his butt, continue to the king’s mansion trotting away.
Just entering the door, the little poisonous thing saw the yellow warbler that was walking in front of the door.
While knocking on a melon seed, Huang Ying was looking back and forth at the door, as if she was waiting for someone.
“Sister Huang Ying, is the master home?” Little Poison said hurriedly.
Huang Ying blinked.
“How did you know I threw the ring in the latrine?”
