Su Jun said, "This matter still needs your help, lady. The prince is being bullied by Zhang's family, and I cannot leave this Zhang."
The Guan family's personality was straightforward, and said, "This is certain, what do you think we should do?"
The Grand Princess favors the elder granddaughter of the Guan family and has specially sought a princess title for her. The Guan family is acquainted with the royal relatives in the capital.
Guan thought that Su Jun wanted to get rid of Zhang through the Grand Princess's hand, and said at this moment, "Tomorrow I will invite my grandmother to the palace and talk to the empress dowager about some matters related to our children and grandchildren?"
At that time, the topic would be led to the East Palace, mentioning Su Jun's beating incident, and then persuade the Empress Dowager to remove Zhang's family.
Su Jun held Guan's hand and said, "That would be excellent indeed. Although the empress grandmother loves me, I can't say such a thing directly. But I want to have the Su family imprisoned."
Guan furrowed her brow, feeling it was difficult.
It's easy to kill Zhang's family, but Su Jun would do it anyway without caring about the consequences, as long as he does not provoke the prince's hatred. He doesn't need to take the route of the Grand Princess and use the Empress Dowager to do it.
But to have Zhang's family imprisoned is a tricky matter.
Zhang is a woman favored by the prince, and now she has reached the position of Zhao Xun.
Even so, a man like the prince's favorite concubine would never be placed in prison.
Guan said, "What about the Cold Palace?"
Su Jun smiled bitterly and said, "No, the prince loves her. If she were sent to the Cold Palace, he would definitely visit her and discover the truth."
"Eldest sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth," Su Jun lowered his voice and said, "Zhang's identity is suspicious, as if she has taken someone else's place. I need to ask her some things."
Guan was overwhelmed today, but this news still shocked her to the core.
Is the woman now most favored by the prince actually a stranger introduced by others?
What is the purpose behind this?
Is it aimed at the prince or Su Jun?
The former involves the entire matter of the prince's party, and the person taking action is likely another prince. If it's the latter, it would be targeted at the Su family; someone in the prince's party might have their eye on the position of empress?
Or maybe they are planning for the next generation of the crown prince?
This involves the entire family's future!
If we think about it this way, could the fact that Zhang is pregnant also be part of someone else's plan?
Whether it's true or not, as long as there is a doubt and association, various conspiracy theories will arise in one's mind.
Guan said, "This, this… do you know who it is targeting?"
Su Jun said, "It's probably me, about ninety percent. And the supernatural should not be lightly spoken of; Zhang seems to be a ghost or a specter..."
She stopped talking here, meaning that the message she was trying to convey was very clear.
Guan's hair stood on end and her scalp went numb. The bright room now seemed ominous in every corner.
Guan got up, took three steps and two leaps, and hurried to the window. She didn't even have time to give orders to the servants; she personally opened the window. Sunlight flooded in from outside, warming the people with its gentle rays.
Only then did Guan notice that cold sweat was dripping down her back. Her heart had finally calmed down after jumping about continuously.
"Is this true?"
Su Jun said, "Sister-in-law, I've investigated. Zhang's person hasn't changed faces; it's always been the same person. But before she was favored by the prince, she had no reputation in the palace; she was just an ordinary palace maid. However, after that, everyone who had seen her in the palace said she was beautiful."
"You know, in our family, every close-serving maid is carefully examined. If Zhang truly had outstanding appearance, there should be records of it before she was favored by the prince. However, when she entered the palace, her record stated that she had regular features and mediocre appearance."
"Since you haven't seen her, let me just say this: she is of comparable beauty to mine, only in a different style. She exudes a seductive charm."
Hearing this, Guan naturally had to scold first, "How can someone like her be compared to you?"
After saying these polite words, her expression became serious.
It's the kind of beauty of her younger sister-in-law, which is one of the top beauties in the world, and can only be encountered and not pursued.
Such a person, with their beauty, can be recognized as a beauty even when they are young, standing out among others like a phoenix among chickens. As for Zhang's previous ordinary appearance and her sudden transformation into beauty, this cannot be explained away as her growing up, changing her makeup, or aging.
If she had such appearance, she should have been famous in the palace long ago. After all, except for a few people, most people in the palace rely on beauty to be respected.
Guan covered her chest, feeling that she was too old and couldn't take these shocks. She decided to go to the temple tomorrow to pay respects and get rid of bad luck.
She said, "This person must be eliminated immediately! Absolutely, absolutely not allowed to stay with you anymore!"
Su Jun could feel his eldest sister-in-law's care. After suddenly learning about this kind of thing, the first thing he thought about was Su Jun's body, which was truly his eldest sister-in-law's loving heart.
Why did Guan accept it so calmly?
Well, at this time, such speeches were common, and there were even martial artists in the folk who made a living by exorcising demons.
As for whether they have the skill level for it?
You can just say whether they can see the things they say.
Can't see? Then you're just not gifted, without the ability to cultivate spirituality, what are you talking about pointing and commenting on?
If you can see what they say, then isn't that real?
Of course, in reality, this industry certainly wouldn't speak so plainly. After all, they make a living entirely through deception... I mean, their own skills.
Guan said, "Then indeed, it's necessary to find some people to perform some rituals..."
Su Jun felt both sorrow and amusement and said, "Sister-in-law, I have looked into it. Zhang is just an ordinary person, with no extraordinary abilities at all. Well... One thing she has is that she seems to become more and more seductive day by day, and the prince is even more obsessed with her."
Guan said, "Then..."
Su Jun interrupted, "No, it's not an enchantment. Sister-in-law, I have good looks, but do you think everyone will like me? The prince loves Zhang because of his own infatuation with beauty. This has nothing to do with Zhang."
Guan fell silent, but she couldn't help but think this way. Her younger sister-in-law had always disliked the prince, and it wasn't right to live like this.
In the end, one has to live a lifetime, and it's better to be more oblivious to some things.
Guan didn't say anything. At this moment, it's more important to deal with Zhang, so she said, "To have Zhang imprisoned, this matter requires careful consideration and cannot be put in the palace's permanent prison. It's better to send her to a prison in the imperial edict or the Ministry of Justice, where our family can place people."
By doing this, they could find out Zhang's background and purpose from her mouth.
Su Jun said, "Yes, sister-in-law, you can be at ease. I don't harbor any resentment against Zhang, and I won't act impulsively."
As she is a wife, and Zhang is a concubine, Zhang wants to advance in her position, so she must eliminate Su Jun. This is determined by their status, and Su Jun accepts it without allowing it to affect her feelings towards Zhang.
And there is certainly no other housewife's hatred for a concubine, ignoring dignity and wildly trying to catch the concubine just to let off some steam.
Su Jun smiled bitterly. This wasn't because she was in a good state of mind or had the ability to remain calm.
It's just that she didn't love the prince, she didn't really love him, she didn't pour her heart into it, so when she was betrayed, she couldn't generate a feeling of hatred. And there were still thoughts to pay attention to her own dignity.
After communicating with her family, Su Jun saw that Guan still looked startled, so she smiled and said, "Auntie, what nice gifts did you bring to the palace for me?"
This topic is safe, and it's Guan's most familiar area. As she gradually relaxed, she smiled and said, "It's just some ordinary items. However, there is one peculiar thing. My father collected some lip balm from somewhere and specifically asked me to bring it to you."
Su Jun was stunned, but then she laughed even harder.
