Though the couple was bound by imperial decree, they were deeply in love and shared a strong bond. Lu Yaohua was knowledgeable and sensible, raising her two daughters to be graceful and dignified. Su Yuntang inherited her mother's medical skills, which were truly remarkable.
Her elder sister, Su Yunyan, was five years older than Su Yuntang and had already married into the prominent Long Family, becoming the wife of their eldest son. At that time, Su Yuntang lived a life of luxury and ease, free from worries.
She had never imagined that such a life could come crashing down overnight.
In the autumn of the tenth year of Jiajing, one deep night, a group of armored soldiers suddenly stormed into the Su residence. The entire Su family was awakened, trembling as they knelt in the courtyard, listening to the proclamation being read:
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Su Jingwen, as a court official, has failed to serve his country, disregarded national laws, and dared to collude with treacherous merchants to smuggle official salt and embezzle grain silver. His crimes are evident; he is indeed a parasite to the nation! I am greatly angered upon hearing this!
Therefore, all positions held by Su Jingwen are hereby revoked. He is to be swiftly escorted to the capital for severe investigation and punishment! His entire family shall be confined on the spot without permission to move; those who disobey will face harsh penalties! Thus it is decreed!"
