IACF [QT] Chapter 66.2

However, Master Su was only half-concerned about this, and the other half was wondering.

The bird he got had bright and beautiful feathers, but more importantly, it could speak. He had trained it for a long time in the mansion before, just to make it say a few auspicious words at the banquet to make His Majesty happy.

However, now this stupid bird was just showing off with its tail up, not saying a word, which made him anxious.

He took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and secretly made a gesture to hit the bird.

Although other people didn’t see it, the Emperor up there saw it clearly. Not only did his eyes twitch, but even the corners of his mouth also twitched.

Such a person actually wanted to be the brother-in-law of King Rui?

But then he thought again. It was better for Duke Anguo to lose his ambition by playing with things than for some people with big hearts to have some unreasonable thoughts in the future and provoke King Rui to be at odds with the other princes.

Anyway, with King Rui’s ability and current status, he did not need the powerful wife’s family to add icing on the cake.

Many thoughts went through his mind, but on the surface, the Emperor still spoke slowly and politely, and then he offered a reward.

When Master Su heard that Eunuch De Hai was offering a reward, he immediately knelt down and didn’t care about the bird. He already knew that the Emperor just wanted a cover.

Even so, thinking that his efforts in the past few days were in vain, he couldn’t help but curse the bird in his heart.

Just after he finished cursing, he heard the bird pecking twice on the cage, and the sound attracted everyone’s attention. Then he heard its loud voice and melodious tone: “My dear~ I will feed you meat~”

Just as Eunuch De Hai finished his announcement, the bird’s voice slowly fell, and the lingering sound lingered in the room.

The hall was so quiet that even breathing could not be heard.

Master Su almost choked to death on his own saliva, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly thanked the Emperor loudly: “Long live the Emperor!”

The veins on the Emperor’s forehead jumped. He secretly put the blame on King Rui. Then, he said with an unchanged expression: “Then, Master Su, please return to your seat.”

Eunuch De Hai quickly signaled and asked the eunuch to take the bird away.

The court officials did not dare to say anything, but they were thinking in their hearts that His Majesty was so tolerant of Duke Anguo. It seemed that the Su family was really going to make a comeback.

Master Su returned to his seat.

The people around him did not know what happened in the hall. They only saw that he was summoned by the Emperor and was rewarded. They all looked envious.

“Brother Su is very happy!”

I’m not happy with you guys.

Master Su’s legs were still trembling. He made up his mind that as soon as he left the palace, he would go to settle accounts with the owner of the rare bird garden.

What a crap bird!

How dare it call His Majesty ‘my dear’ in the hall?

He was afraid it was going to scare him and eat his little sweetheart out!

After the banquet, the Su family, which had always been deserted, suddenly became lively.

Apart from other things, just based on the fact that His Majesty only mentioned three rewards at this palace banquet, two of which were given to the princes, and the only one was given to the Duke Anguo, it showed that he had not forgotten the meritorious officials.

Who knew when the Su family would take advantage of the situation and rise again?

During this period, even the servants of the Shen Mansion were much more polite to the people in Su Yi’s yard.

After a few days, Mrs. Liu came to the Shen Mansion, not to visit Su Yi, but to see Old Mrs. Shen.

Her purpose was very clear. As the Eldest Sister-in-law, she wanted to talk to Old Mrs. Shen about Su Yi’s divorce.

After she left, Old Mrs. Shen called the Second Master Shen to her room.

“…You are infatuated with her, but do you think she has you in her heart? Before she got married, she was flirting with others. After she got married, she didn’t care about taking care of her husband and children. Instead, she caused unrest in our Shen family and caused discord between you and me. If I were to say, such a woman should have been divorced!”

“Mother…” The Second Master Shen’s voice was full of displeasure.

“Hmph, you still want to say something good for her. But now her family is up in arms, and the first thing they want to do is divorce you.”

The Second Master Shen frowned and said, “Mother, don’t mention this matter again. I don’t agree.”

“You have to agree even if you don’t agree!” Old Mrs. Shen slapped the tea table.

“Because of her, the second wife is not like a madam, and the concubine is not like a concubine. You are already thirty years old, not to mention a legitimate son, not even a legitimate daughter. How do you want me to explain to your father a hundred years from now?”

The Second Master Shen was silent.
