Su Wanrou, who fainted, was arranged to stay in a room used for the guests to rest. Madam Ning accompanied her and left Su Qiu to stay outside until the banquet ended.

The imperial physician checked Su Wanrou's pulse and said, "Su Wanrou suffered from a head injury not too long ago. She's only recovering from her fatigue. She'll be fine after a short rest."

Two hours after entering the university, Su Wanrou woke up from her nap.

There were two maids left in the house. The servants that served people in the palace were the most adept at watching people serve food. With Su Wanrou's status as the first daughter of Prime Minister Su Wanrou and the granddaughter of General Fu Cavalry, the two maids did not dare to be negligent.

Madam Ning helped Su Wanrou up and fed her some water.

At this point, the banquet had already dispersed. A voice came from outside the room, "The emperor has arrived!" "Esteemed Empress Dowager has arrived!" "Empress Dowager has arrived!" The crown prince has arrived! "

So many important figures had arrived at the same time.

Su Qiu was an outer male and had been sent to wait outside the inner palace.

The Emperor forbade Su Wanrou and her daughter to be courteous.

Madam Ning had seen a big scene before. Su Wanrou had been the royal family's daughter-in-law in her previous life, so when faced with a few important figures, her answer was extremely fluent.

When the empress asked about Su Wanrou's injuries, Madam Ning did not hide anything and directly told her that her treatment of the family was not strict. The concubine in her family, in order to rob items and hurt her sister, had offended her.

"Then, Madam, how did you deal with this Shu girl?" the queen asked.

"It was my old lady who dealt with her. She was punished to go to the temple for one month and then her birth mother was sentenced to a month's imprisonment. When that old lady came out, she would be taught by another obedient aunt." Madam Ning said in detail.

The empress dowager said, "Your madame has gone soft at an age like this. It would not be excessive to use family law against such a vile creature. "

"Grandson thinks the same." Zhou Yu interrupted.

The empress dowager looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "Then what do you think we should do with Yu?"

Zhou Yu said, "Grandson thinks that the state law has its own family rules. The elders were orderly and the children were orderly, while the servants were humble. This was the rule of the country. Young does not respect the long, the disrespect of the brood, such a style cannot be encouraged. The Prime Minister was the head of a hundred officials. If news of this were to spread throughout the capital, wouldn't it be a mess if other people learned from him? Therefore, we must severely punish them in order to set an example. "

The empress dowager nodded. "Yu's words are reasonable. "Then Yu, tell me, how should I punish them severely in order to set an example?"

"Send down an edict from the palace, recite that she is young, that her staff is ten, that her temple is forbidden for a year, and that she transcribes one hundred volumes of the Book of filial piety." The Mother's Staff will reward you twenty years of imprisonment for one year. "

The empress dowager instructed the eunuch, "According to what the crown prince had just said, prepare an imperial decree and send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Su Wanrou's eyes widened in astonishment.

Zhou Yu asked Su Xiuting for her help?

What was this? Dog eating dog?

Su Xiuting was Zhou Yu's beloved concubine, he was the one whom Zhou Yu hated! Did he do something wrong!?

Su Wanrou looked at Zhou Yu and saw that Zhou Yu was staring at her. Her eyes were filled with deep emotion as she quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at him again.

The imperial physician had said that Su Wanrou would be fine once she woke up. As long as she took good care of herself, she would be able to recover completely.

The empress sent someone to escort Su Wanrou and her daughter out of the palace.

On the way back home, Su Qiu couldn't help but show concern for Su Wanrou like a good father.

Madam Ning looked at Su Qiu coldly without saying a word.

Now that he was concerned about Wan, he would immediately change his expression when he saw Su Xiuting and her mother being caned.

When the family of three returned home, the people from the palace had already reached the Su Mansion and passed down the order.

Old Lady Su took the order and let the little girl carry a chair and sit in the shade under the eaves.

The palace had brought the executioners along with them, and they were already waiting in the courtyard for orders. Su Xiuting and Aunt Ji were forced onto the execution bench and howled like pigs. When they saw Su Qiu's figure, they hurriedly shouted, "Master, save me!" Father, save me! "

The official stopped Su Qiu before he could speak. "Young master, this was Esteemed Empress Dowager's decree."

"Eunuch, is there some misunderstanding? I wonder when my concubines and daughters offended the empress dowager? " Su Qiu said.

"The one who offended you wasn't the empress dowager, but your wife and the eldest daughter," the eunuch smirked. "Your concubine doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. Esteemed Empress Dowager said that she wouldn't take any risks to set an example." Without waiting for Su Qiu to say anything, the eunuch waved his whisk, "Execute the execution!"

Su Qiu felt a heartache beyond words when he saw the board fall on Aunt Ji and Su Xiuting. At one point, he wanted to rush forward and save the mother and daughter pair. But this was the imperial decree of the empress dowager. Su Qiu was still in his prime minister position, so how could he dare disobey it?

The two ladies' screams and cries rang to the heavens. Su Qiu also shed hot tears and fell down to his knees.

Even a fake man like a eunuch couldn't stand Su Qiu's cowardly look anymore. Madam Ning snorted and took Su Wanrou to Old Lady Su's side.

After the execution, the eunuch pushed Su Xiuting and her daughter off the bench, packed them up and left.

At this moment, Su Qiu rushed forward regardless of anything else, hugging Su Xiuting and her daughter as he cried and cursed himself for being useless.

Old Lady Su told maidservant to take out a bag of gold barns and give it to the head eunuch, saying, "It's this old woman's fault that I had to trouble the empress dowager with the affairs of the family on Su Family. The labor official specially made a trip here, and he took it to drink some tea. "

The eunuch accepted the gold barley and smiled, "Old Lady Su is too polite. "I'll take my leave." He then led his group of people and left.

Old Lady Su looked at the disfigured Su Qiu and said angrily, "I didn't see you so nervous when Wan was injured and unconscious!" Crying like this over two things that couldn't be served! You're a dignified Prime Minister, what are you saying! I'll see if you can cry like that the day I die! "

Su Qiu didn't even care about his own mother anymore. He just sent his servants to get a doctor. Together with his servants, he sent Su Xiuting and her mother back to the courtyard. This made Old Lady Su very angry.

The eunuchs fought with all their might when they were executed. Su Xiuting was only ten years old. She had been hit ten times and suffered serious injuries. It was an unusually hot June day. As soon as he started sweating, his wounds would become inflamed, and as soon as he became inflamed, he developed a high fever. Su Xiuting had almost lost her life in the heat.

It was all thanks to Su Qiu bringing along the imperial physician from the palace that Su Xiuting managed to escape death!

Aunt Ji's internal organs were injured by the shock, so she would not be able to stay in bed for the rest of the month. The mother and daughter pair had been taught a lesson. Although the empress dowager had ordered them to surrender, the mother and daughter duo had shifted their hatred onto Su Wanrou and her daughter!
