Chapter 221 Adding Makeup (Update )
Xue Chengyi saw Su Liuyue's frown, and he chuckled and said soothingly: "The situation in the court is a bit complicated recently, but it doesn't have a big impact on us, so you don't have to worry.

The main thing is that after the murder of Miss Zhong, the relationship between the dignitaries of the new dynasty and the dignitaries of the previous dynasty has become more and more subtle. Although no one will put it on the table, the atmosphere of the morning court sessions has been somewhat tense. Censor Wei of our Censorate has been keeping a close eye on the Li family and some dignitaries of the new dynasty these days, and will report any evidence he finds against them to the emperor.

Even Gu Jijiu, who seldom spoke at the morning court on weekdays, made a rare number of suggestions at the morning court during this period, and almost all of them were directed at the powerful people of the new dynasty.

The powerful people in the new dynasty were already arrogant and could not stand this humiliation, so they united to fight back.

Hey, you don’t know, during the early morning court sessions recently, I didn’t dare to speak, for fear that I would make a mistake if I opened my mouth.”

Especially now that their Xue family's every move is being watched, he dare not act rashly, for fear of causing trouble for Liu Yue.

It turned out to be because of Miss Zhong’s case.

Su Liuyue was not surprised at all that the relationship between the dignitaries of the old and new dynasties had deteriorated.

Miss Zhong's fate was so miserable, but the emperor was obviously partial to the Li family. Even a clay man has a temper.

Su Liuyue thought of something and asked, "Uncle, have those dignitaries from the previous dynasty been bothering you recently? And what about the Su family? They won't get involved in these things, will they?"

Although Xue Chengyi never talked about these things in front of her.

But think about it and you will know that the relationship between the powerful and the old dynasties is delicate now. In order to strengthen the power of their own faction, the powerful and the former dynasty will certainly target the Su family and the Xue family who are about to have a relationship with Zhou Yunke.

The weight of one of their words is equivalent to ten words from other dignitaries of the previous dynasty.

Xue Chengyi knew that he could not hide this from Su Liuyue, so he could only say helplessly: "Your wedding is coming soon, and I don't want to bother you with these things. Recently, there are indeed many people who hope that I will make a statement in the court, and even Wei Yushi has come to me.

But I rejected them all.”

They said behind his back that he was cowardly and spineless, and he knew it, but how could he stand up and speak? If they were interested in Xue Chengyi's personal influence and wanted him to speak out, he would do it without hesitation.

After all, General Zhong was a righteous, fair and strict person. He had served in the same dynasty with General Zhong and had received his favor.

But no! They were clearly not coming for him, but for the Crown Prince who was about to marry his niece!
If he stood up regardless, he would be too ashamed to face Liu Yue and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Your father did stand up and agree with Gu Jijiu, but you should not think that those people in the court are fools. They have seen how the Su family has treated you over the years. When you... angered the Zheng family and were about to be divorced, you suddenly hanged yourself at home. There were rumors that you were forced to commit suicide by the Su family and that the Su family sacrificed you to protect themselves.

Ever since the imperial decree granting the marriage came down, you have been staying in our house and have never returned, and everyone has seen it.

Therefore, your father’s statement doesn’t really carry that much weight.”

Xue Chengyi looked at Su Liuyue soothingly and said, “Anyway, the situation in the court is a bit complicated recently, but it’s not that serious.

Just prepare to get married.

If you have time during this period, please spend more time with your aunt. After you marry into the palace, it will not be easy for us to see you." Su Liuyue raised the corner of her mouth helplessly, "Uncle, what are you talking about? Princess Changxi had specially asked the emperor for grace on my behalf, allowing me to continue investigating cases for Jingzhao Prefecture. Even if I married the Crown Prince, this grace still exists.

I should be able to leave the palace to visit you often in the future."

Su Liuyue has not considered these things carefully.

However, no matter what, she probably won't be able to stay in the Xue family all day long like she does now.

I don’t know if it’s because of the conversation with Xue Chengyi that day, and the fact that her wedding date with Zhou Yunke is getting closer, but Su Liuyue actually began to feel some kind of pre-marital melancholy.

Especially in the last half month, whether she was willing or not, she had to return to the Su family to get married. The night before Su Liuyue returned to the Su family, when she was having dinner with everyone from the Xue family, she actually felt a little sour in her heart.

Xue Lingwan also stopped being as absent-minded as before and kept sticking to Su Liuyue, trying her best to put all the delicious food into Su Liuyue's bowl. Finally, she couldn't help but said with red eyes: "Cousin, in the future, will there be fewer opportunities for us to dine together like this?"

Su Liuyue looked at her helplessly and amusedly, silently pushed her hand that was about to put food into her bowl, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It makes me feel like I'm going to marry somewhere far away. Isn't the palace in Xinjing? If you miss me, come to the palace to visit me more often.

However, Man Yifang will depend on you from now on. Even if you don’t want to, I will call you into the palace every once in a while to ask about Man Yifang’s situation.”

Xue Lingwan pursed her lips. How are they the same?

Getting married is such a bummer.

Why did she think it was so great that her cousin could marry the Crown Prince?

If she had known earlier...if she had known earlier, she would have encouraged her cousin to find a man to marry into her family!

That night, Xue Lingwan insisted on sleeping with Su Liuyue.

Su Liuyue really couldn't persuade her. When the two cousins ​​finished taking a bath and drying their hair and were about to get into bed together, Yun came.

She held a beautifully carved wooden box the size of a pillow, sat on the edge of the bed with a loving look in her eyes, looked at Su Liuyue and said softly: "Liuyue, although it is the Su family who prepared your dowry this time, your uncle and aunt also prepared a dowry for you."

Although the Su family had always treated Liu Yue harshly, Liu Yue was marrying the prince this time, so no matter how reluctant they were, they did not dare to make things too awkward when preparing the dowry.

In addition, since she had been keeping an eye on them all this time, Yun was relatively relieved.

"I have already sent someone to deliver the large furniture and other items to the Su family. In this box, there are some banknotes and land deeds. Although it's not much, it's a token of my love for your uncle and me."

As he spoke, Yun handed the wooden box in his hand to Su Liuyue.

Su Liuyue paused, carefully took the box and opened it.

When she saw what was inside, her eyes widened slightly.
