In the morning of the second day, the current Holy Emperor punished Jing Zhaoyin and Xie Anbang.

He said that the guards at Jing Zhaoyin's side were just decorations and was fined three months' salary. He said that Xie Anbang failed to take good care of Tang Yaru and was directly responsible and was fined six months' salary.

When this oral instruction came down, Xie Anbang's face turned dark.

In the eyes of other ministers, such a punishment is not excessive at all. If Tang Yaru makes any mistake, where will the emperor's face be put? All the people in the capital know that Mr. Tang has made great contributions to the border for more than ten years, and the Tang family has suffered.

In this calamity, the emperor could not even save Mr. Tang's only flesh and blood, which made the emperor lose his face.

When Xie Anbang returned to Xie's Mansion, his face turned even darker.

After asking for the report from his cronies, he went straight to the Su family's yard.

Seeing her looking at the account book with her confidant, she suppressed her anger a little.

Seeing that Xie Anbang was looking wrong, Mrs. Su withdrew all the maids and wives. She approached him gently and asked with concern: "Master, is there anything that makes you uncomfortable?"

Xie Anbang looked at her face carefully. She had beautiful and delicate facial features. After seeing this face for so many years, there were very few times when he got tired of looking at it. But at this moment, he felt disgusted.

"Did you bribe Aunt Wu around the old lady?" Xie Anbang asked with a sullen face.

Su's heart trembled, why did he suddenly ask about this matter today? He had always ignored the affairs of the inner house.

Regarding Xie Anbang, Su knew one thing very well: she could never hide it from him, and she had to be honest when he asked, which meant that he already knew.

"It was my concubine who did it." Mrs. Su blinked her autumn eyes and looked at him charmingly and said, "Why is the master suddenly concerned about this matter?"

At this moment, Xie Anbang was not impressed by her frail beauty at all, and continued to ask with a sullen face: "Let me ask you again, is it your idea to ask Miss Tang to go to Yunshan to light the eternal lantern for the Tang family?"

Did you mention it?”

Su clearly sensed that something was wrong. Xie Anbang rarely questioned her with such a calm and gloomy tone.

Seeing Su's silence, Xie Anbang said angrily, "Tell me, what happened to Miss Tang and Jingya yesterday, was it arranged by you?"

Su Shi was so frightened by his roar that she almost got off the Grand Master's chair.

"Master, I just gave you a kind suggestion. I really never thought of harming Miss Tang!" Su was so frightened that she felt guilty. She didn't know why Xie Anbang's mood fluctuated so suddenly.

"You stupid woman!" If Su was not pregnant with a child, Xie Anbang really wanted to slap her twice.

I don't know since when, Xie Anbang became addicted to Su's violence. When he was angry, he couldn't help but want to beat her. Even he himself was not aware of such a subtle change.

"I don't understand, what happened?" Su said pitifully.

"I feel more and more stupid that you are stupid. Where has your previous intelligence gone?" Xie Anbang couldn't control himself and scolded her angrily, "Don't you know what Miss Tang is in now? That is the most important thing for the Emperor right now.

I can't bear to see someone who has been wronged even a little bit, but you actually hit her with your heart. Do you wish that my black gauze hat would be taken off directly, so that you would be satisfied!"

"I...I don't have that meaning..." Mrs. Su waved her hand and explained, "When I married my husband, I only wanted him to rise to the top and show off my ambitions. How could I frame her husband?"

I am dependent on my husband for my life, so why would I do something that would completely harm me and injure the enemy eight hundred?"

"You also know now that you are living on me. Since you know everything, why do you want to frame Miss Tang? What do you think of Miss Tang that is worthy of your plot to frame her?" His sinister eyes followed him.

The closer the body is, the colder it becomes.

Su is a smart person. Xie Anbang asked her over and over again why she wanted to frame Tang Yaru, and some of the doubts in her heart soon got some answers.

Xie Anbang's mood today must be related to Tang Yaru's injury, and Tang Yaru is now the person the emperor cares about, so Xie Anbang must have been punished by the emperor.

Su knew she had made a mistake, but she quickly came up with a countermeasure.

"Husband, for the sake of the child in my belly, please calm down and listen to me tell you what happened, okay?" She spoke softly, suppressing the grievances in her heart, and focused on just

Thank you Anbang for your good service.

He glanced at her belly. If he hadn't considered that she was pregnant, his anger would definitely rise to the sky!

Seeing that Xie Anbang was still angry, but he sat on the Taishi chair.

Mrs. Su thought about what she wanted to say for a while and then said slowly: "Master, I made a mistake. I should not have discussed it with you before making my own decision. However, I really wanted to give you a surprise."

If you do it like this, who would have known that the surprise didn’t work out but that the master suffered even more than he could tell.”

He snorted coldly and replied: "Surprise? What a surprise for you. Because the Xie Mansion failed to take good care of Miss Tang, the emperor fined me six months' salary."

He was willing to tell the matter, and Su felt a little relieved.

He continued to persuade: "I have never thought about harming Miss Tang. I just want to borrow Miss Tang to go to Yunshan, and then let the thief kidnap the fifth Miss. In this way, the Xie Mansion will sacrifice five people to protect Miss Tang's safety."

Miss, such a noble and honorable act is definitely something worthy of praise from the master."

If everything goes according to what the Su family said, it will be a win-win situation for the Xie family. For the Su family, Xie Jingya's ruined reputation is a very happy thing. The emperor is determined to feel guilty about the fifth lady's sacrifice.

If Xie Jingya is not wronged, she will naturally treat Xie Anbang more favorably.

Xie Anbang listened to her words and sneered.

Su Shi felt a chill in her heart. Xie Anbang no longer trusted and cared for her as before. Even though she put in 120% effort to please him, she still couldn't get 80% of his heart.

, I think back then, all she needed was a charming smile and a few tears of grievance to make him feel so distressed that he wished he could hold her in his hands and protect her in his heart.

Although she felt aggrieved, she could not show her grievance at this time. According to Xie Anbang's temperament, he would never want to see her aggrieved at this time.

She could only continue to blame herself: "In my opinion, since this matter has deviated from the original track, there must be something wrong in the middle. Don't you doubt it at all?"
