Chapter 65: Throwing brick to attract jade (Part 2)
At night, a thin mist was covering the stars, making it look like dots in the sky. And only half of the moon was exposed.
In the Su Family, the wind blows through the treetops, and the sounds of rubbing branches and leaves could be heard.
Su Ziyun took advantage of the dark sky and went to her mother’s room.
Jie Lengchan, who was wearing a nightgown, just finished washing her face and now was sitting in front of the copper mirror. She was looking at her beautiful face. The more she looked, the more her face was brimming with a smile.
Su Ziyun looked at her mother in the bronze mirror and said with a smile: “Mother is now over 40 years old but you still look so young, it must be not easy!”
“It’s all thanks to Yandan that you sent every month.”
Jie Lengchan stood up and pulled her daughter to the bedside.
“Yun’er, tell me, have you found a way to save your brother?”
Jie Lengchan was a little anxious. After all, her son was still in jail. Why wouldn’t her heart be in pain? The prison was not a place people should stay.
Su Ziyun bites her lips as her eyes were filled with worries: “Mother, saving Xu’er is not an urgent matter. This case is being handled by the emperor, but his highness is trying to find a way.”
After that, Su Ziyun frowned again.
“Yun’er, look at you frowning, is there something that upsets you?”
Su Ziyun lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: “Mother, his highness suspects that the owner of Mingyue Mountain Villa is Su Zimo. To get an accurate answer, his highness went to Yun City.”
Jie Lengchan blinked her eyes: “Yun’er, how could that Su Zimo is still alive? According to my understanding of her for many years, she doesn’t have that ability. Even after death, her corpse cannot be found, that mother and daughter really lived a cheap life.”
Just by remembering that woman’s beautiful face made her heart filled with jealousy.
“Mother, I’m still a little worried. After all, there is no smoke if there is no fire.”
She was afraid. She was afraid that the woman turns out to be Su Zimo. How will the Third Prince let pass such fat meat?
“Yun’er, don’t worry. You know very well that I now cleared all the obstacles in front of you. You only need to climb now on top. Your enemies are now gone. The seat for the Third Princess is already yours. What can a few concubines do in the Third Prince Mansion? It’s only natural for men to have 3 to 4 concubines. Su Zimo’s mother is also a first-class beauty. But later on, didn’t your father only look at me? As long as you have the power in your hands, you can control the life and death of those concubines.”
“Mmm, mother. I understand.”
Su Ziyun said while nodding her head, but then, she seemed to have remembered something: “Mother, when you… …entered the Su Family Mansion… …did you also… …”
She had always wanted to ask this question. Su Zimo’s mother died strangely. When she was young, she heard some servants said that Su Zimo’s mother died because of her mother. Today, when she heard her mother said such a thing, she got even more convinced.
When Jie Lengyu heard her daughter question, she only showed a smug smile on her face: “Yes, I tried to kill that woman! Unfortunately, I couldn’t kill that brother and sisters together with her! However, on the day of her funeral, her corpse had disappeared. Your father didn’t pursue the matter to conceal it.”
Su Ziyun was shocked after hearing those words. She didn’t expect that it was really her mother who killed Su Zimo’s mother.
When Jie Lengzhen saw the look in her daughter’s face, she knew what she was thinking.
“Yun’er, it’s because she died that’s why I can become the main wife! And you and Xu’er become the legitimate son and daughter. Remember, people, destroying others not only for their own sake! And now that Su Zinian and Su Qingjue left the Su Family. The Su Family now only belongs to you and your brother.”
Su Ziyun stared at her mother for a long time. She understood what she was saying.
After a while, she leisurely said: “Mother, what you said is right!” Su Zimo’s death destroyed her image, people say she stole her sister’s fiancee. If it wasn’t for this, the Third Prince will not delay his marriage with her. She became a laughing stock in the capital. Su Ziyun fell into deep thoughts, her eyes flashed with murderous intent. If Su Zimo is still alive, she just needs to kill her once again… …
