Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 412

Chapter 412

AN ARRANGED LIFE ~
Su Wenyuan’s face sank. “Is this the time to care about all these? The most important thing is to find a way to help the Su family save the situation.”
Su Qingwu was not as obedient as usual and shook his head firmly, “If Father doesn’t tell me the truth, I won’t go to see the Sixth Princess.”
“You …” He raised his hand as if he wanted to slap Su Qingwu, but when he saw Su Qingwu’s resolute eyes, his actions suddenly became stiff. After a long while, he lowered his arm and somewhat dejectedly sat on the chair, “This matter is of great importance, only your grandmother and I know. I originally wanted to wait a few years to tell you. But now that it has reached this point, so I don’t mind telling you.”
Su Qingwu placed the teacup next to Su Wenyuan and sat down. “Father, what is the reason?”
Su Wenyuan was silent for a while as if he was thinking of where to start, “At the beginning, our Su family was in a mess, and our ancestors’ protection was completely exhausted. Only your grandfather was able to hold on to support it. Several princes were fighting for the throne, causing the Capital to be in an extremely chaotic state. On the surface, our Su family supported the Emperor. But in reality, our Su family was supporting Qin Wang. Your grandfather followed Qin Wang’s orders and attacked the Grand Princess’s estate. On the way, we encountered the mama who protecting the Grand Princess’s daughter as she fled, so we captured her and wanted to use her as a reward.”
Su Qingwu’s heart trembled. “The Grand Princess’s daughter....”
“That’s right. Who would’ve thought that Qin Wang would actually lose, and the Emperor has succeeded in taking the throne. Therefore, your grandfather and grandmother had a bold idea. They wanted to use the Eldest Princess’s daughter, Xu Yanhan, to build a future for Su family. Thus, they named the Eldest Princess’s daughter Su Qing and temporarily fostered her in the countryside.”
“Su Qing … She is not the child of Grandmother, but the Grand Princess Yi De’s.” Su Qingwu’s throat spun a few times, and then he finally said these words with difficulty.
Su Wenyuan nodded his head, “That’s right. At that time, they had wanted to delay a little longer so that Grand Princess Yi De could become more anxious. When the time came to send the child back, they could make Grand Princess Yi De feel even more grateful. At the same time, in order to make things more smooth, he wanted to make Grand Princess Yi De sympathize with the Su family. Your grandparent also lied that they lost a daughter. They never thought that the heavens would pity them, and before your grandfather could send the child back, our Su family actually received the Emperor’s attention.”
Su Qingwu had already guessed what would happen next, and her emotions were exceptionally complicated. “The Su family has received the attention of the Emperor, so there’s no need to use the Grand Princess’ child to fight for the future.”
“Yes. Initially, your grandfather wanted to kill Su Qing in order to kill the matter completely. However, your grandmother did not approve it. She felt that there would be twists and turns in the future, so she decided to leave Su Qing behind. She thought that Su Qing would be of great use in the future, so she grew up peacefully in the countryside. Later, your grandfather passed away, and Su Qing is about to reach her coming of age. Thus, your grandmother secretly arranged for her to be married to Mu Cheng.”
Su Qingwu couldn’t believe her own ears. “Mu Cheng? Is he someone Grandmother arranged for?”
“That’s right. Su Qing’s identity was special. She might be able to use her in the future, so how could she let her get out of her control so easily? However, our plan was still wrong calculated. Mu Cheng actually really liked Su Qing, so he had been secretly investigating her true identity. In the end, he managed to uncover some information about her. As a last resort, we had no choice but to kill him and silence him.”
Su Qingwu was so stunned, and he couldn’t control herself. “… Mu Cheng had been arranged, but what about Mu Cheng’s mother, the Li family? Was she also arranged?”
“Mu Cheng is an orphan. He has received the favor of our Su family, so he was extremely loyal to the Su family before, which was why your grandmother arranged for him to approach Su Qing. As for the Li family, Mu Cheng needed a reasonable identity, and coincidentally the Li family was suitable. Thus, she thought of a way to help Mu Cheng cover up his identity for Su Qing. A good identity would require a great deal of effort.”
“And then?”

Su Wenyuan narrowed his eyes with resentment in his expression, “After killing Mu Cheng, your grandma and I were thinking about getting rid of Su Qing and Mu Yunyao. Unexpectedly, before we could do anything, the case of the rich man Zhang broke out. Then, before things calmed down, Mu Yunyao secretly left Xiayan village with Su Qing. It took us some time to find traces of the mother and daughter. By the time we found them, Ni Yun Fang would have made a name for itself, and it will not be so easy to kill them.”
Su Qingwu carefully thought back to what had happened, then suddenly raised his head. “I remember there was a big fire at Ni Yun Fang back in Jingling City. Was that fire have anything to do with our Su family?”
“I asked someone to release it. I originally wanted to burn Su Qing and Mu Yunyao to death. But unexpectedly, both of them weren’t dead. After that, the Emperor gave them another reward. Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Lou received two golden plaques, and things got more difficult. Your grandma and I had a long discussion, and we feel that it is easier to control them by taking them back to the Su family, but who would have thought that the Su family was almost destroyed by them.”
Su Qingwu could not help but mutter to himself, “If it weren’t for the changes after the accident, then Su Qing and Mu Yunyao’s lives would have been controlled by our Su family.”
“That’s right. The small change that Mu Cheng made was not serious. I just didn’t expect that these two people would leave the Xiayan Village and head towards Jingling City. It was from that time onwards that the matter became uncontrollable.”
Su Qingwu raised his head and asked in puzzlement, “So many years have passed, and the Grand Princess Yi De has yet to find out the truth about that year. Since that’s the case, why don’t we treat Su Qing as Grandmother’s biological daughter? It’s just that there are two more people to eat, which doesn’t greatly hinder our Su family. Su Qing’s heart is soft, and as long as we treat her well, she will definitely be grateful to us.”
“Your grandmother and I had thought of that before, but someone had been secretly investigating Mu Cheng’s death. They had even found out about the family of the midwive who had been silenced that year.
Furthermore, we didn’t know if Mu Cheng had left any clues or not. But, it is clear that Mu Yunyao had once again come into contact with Grand Princess Yi De and the Emperor. Who knows when the truth will be found out, so we do not dare to take the risk and can only eliminate them as soon as possible.”
Su Qingwu clenched his fist tightly as he recalled the first time he saw Mu Yunyao. It seemed that from that moment on, he could feel a trace of hostility from Mu Yunyao. At that time, he thought it was an illusion and did not take it to heart. ‘Could it be that Mu Yunyao was aware of something that led Su Qing to leave Xiayan Village early?‘
Su Wenyuan lowered his voice, his tone faintly with an indescribable chill, “Su Qing and Mu Yunyao are like fish bones in the throat, unable to be spat out or swallowed. If you don’t pull them out within a day, they will not be at peace for a day, your sister Su Yuyi has suffered so much, your mother’s reputation has been destroyed, and the Su family will not be at peace. How can I not kill them?”
