Su Yiqian was about to lose her mind, she had always been more than confident while facing the Empress because she believed that her elder brother, father and second brother were all appointed or were going to be appointed to influential positions because of this she had offended the Empress who came from a small family.


    The family of the Empress held high social status in thest dynasty but after the Late Emperor was thrown off, they lost all the favour and became a small family of schrs. The Empress and Emperor were in fact married because of nothing but political reasons but they ended up falling in love with one another.


    This was the reason why the Empress could act arrogantly in the harem but the power of the harem had been bncing out because of her family.


    She had used the power and authority that the Su family had and acted like a tyrant, it was clear that the harem was distributed in two sections. One supported Su Yiqian and the other section supported the Empress.


    Su Yiqian whose soul belonged to a countryside woman hoped that she would rise higher and higher which was why all her hopes were ced on the men of her house. If her second brother had be a schr she would have be even more powerful, even the Empress and Emperor would have to be careful in front of her.


    Even her child would have more influence than the crown prince.


    She wanted to p those who were bullying her and she wanted to show off to the woman who kept on stepping on her head by showing that she was the winner in life.


    So what if the Shen family was not by her side? Su Yiqian did not want a sleazy Shen family but a prideful and strong Su family!


    However now that her second brother had been harmed to this extent he could neither be a schr nor could he be a general he was useless! Which meant that her powerful family was going to stand still, no wonder her parents said that the child in her belly was their only hope.


    Su Yiqian however did not want to ce all the hope on the child in her belly, what if it was a girl? What then? If the second brother became the prime minister then she would have had another chance to get her hands on the Emperor’s seeds. But now that the power bnce had been moved, what was she supposed to do? The entire game that she had set was ruined.


    It was all over!


    After losing his hands, what can her brother even do?


    At such a point how could she stay calm? How was she supposed to stay calm?


    Old Madam Su knew that her daughter was getting agitated which was why she hugged Su Yiqian and then said, " Cease your madness, Qian Qian. I know that you are angry but we are still here. As long as we are here nothing will happen to you or your brothers."


    " But what happened? How could the second brother be reduced to such a condition?" Su Yiqian questioned angrily as she tried to wipe away her tears.


    Elder Brother Su rubbed his forehead. It was not that he did not want to find out who was behind this case but even if he tried to trace it back to the person who was behind the scene, he could not get his hands on them as there was no evidence!

    " It’s just that your second brother caused trouble for himself once again but this time around, he ended up offending someone he shouldn’t have offended."


    " When the second brother went to the poetrypetition, he ended up stumbling into a group of merchants and their wives. He found someone whom he liked and she turned out to be the daughter of the leader of the merchant, you know how your second brother is—— he wants whatever he points at. Thus he asked the leader to hand his daughter to him."


    " The leader of course refused which caused our brother to get angry at him. He attacked the leader and the group of merchants. They were not simple merchants either, they fought back as well. After all, they were just here to do business and did not know our Su family."


    " Who would have thought that your second brother would try to snatch the woman from the group? It caused a stir in their group and then one of the bodyguards who was following the group attacked your second brother causing his arms to be chopped off."


    " The merchants did not expect that someone would dare to spill blood thus they left without looking back."


    Though everything happened at the dead hour of the night, the beggars who roamed around the city were always awake thus Eldest Master Su was able to find out what happenedst night.


    Elder Master Su could not understand why his second brother had to cause trouble for others. If he wanted to get that woman there was more than one way to get his hands on her, why did he have to cause trouble for himself?


    He also knew that his second brother was angry at the fact that he was stopped from taking exams. Of course, he understood his brother’s anger but there was no need to take that anger out on those who were simply beyond his control. At least he should have known that there were not enough bodyguards to protect him, how could he act like that?


    His second brother not only lost his ams but he also lost his future.


    Elder Master Su thought that he would be able to help his brother in his career but now that he had gotten his arms chopped off, Elder Master Su did not know what to do anymore.


    All their ns had gone down the drain and they have be a joke in the eyes of others.


    Su Yiqian turned to look at her elder brother and asked, " Did you catch the culprits?"
