Chapter 212 2 The Master Was Shocked
After Su Qingwan left the second house, Xiaokang pulled Su Yueqi aside to complain, focusing on the bad things Su Qingwan had done after returning to the Marquis' Mansion, and even pointed at her own front teeth.
"See? This front tooth was also knocked out by her. Now she has a denture made of cow bones."
"She also hired a lot of guards and forced me to pay them. I said I didn't have any money, so she had someone pawn all the things in our yard."
"Wow, wow, wow... In the end, it's like I paid money to hire those vicious guards, but they didn't listen to me. My son, I feel so wronged..."
Xiaokang was in tears when she talked about it. The two men in her second room were out, so she and Li Han were the only ones at home. They were really bullied!
Su Yueqi never thought that Su Qingwan was this kind of person. When he saw her just now, he never thought that she could do these things.
After hearing this, he found it outrageous!
Su Qingwan is so hateful!
"Mom, you have been wronged." Su Yueqi said.
After hearing what her son said, Xiaokang felt very relieved. Then she remembered the matter of the first wife and told him about it.
When Su Yueqi heard that her elder sister was divorced and sent home, she was so angry that she pounded the table hard, shaking the tea bowls, and cursed: "Song Wenbo, that bastard, is too much!"
"The Song family is bullying, but who made your elder sister so ruthless? The Song family is almost extinct because of her, but they only divorced her and didn't send her to the government."
"But the Song family's incident ruined the reputation of the other girls in the Su family, and she was later kicked out..."
Xiaokang started babble again, and when Su Yueqi finished listening to it all, he suddenly felt dazed.
He felt like he had only been in the academy for a short time, so how come so many things happened at home?
It would be fine if the elder sister died. Anyway, she had such a reputation and there was no way she could stay in the capital if she didn't die.
What shocked him even more was that his great uncle lost his official position, and it was the emperor's decree that made this happen.
You have to know that my uncle's official position was not obtained through examination, but was bestowed by the emperor. So no matter how incompetent my uncle was in the Ministry of Rites, few people would care about him, and as long as he didn't make any mistakes, he could stay in the Ministry of Rites safely.
But my uncle was actually dismissed from office by the emperor. He is really an extraordinary bastard!
Su Yunrou was lucky, as she could finally marry Prince Rui legitimately, which was also a happy event.
Xiaokang didn't dare to talk about the happy things happening in the mourning hall. After all, it involved the royal family, and she was afraid of bringing disaster to her son. However, she didn't expect Su Yueqi to express his feelings about Su Yunrou's marriage.
"Second sister is very lucky. She is going to marry Prince Rui as she wished. From now on, our mansion will have Prince Rui as a backer." Su Yueqi said.
Xiaokang really wanted to roll her eyes, but at this time, the voice of Nanny Ji came from outside.
"Madam, Fifth Miss, you are here."
Old Kang nodded.
Just as Nanny Ji was about to tell her that Su Yueqi was back, she saw Su Yueqi walking out of the house.
"Grandson greets grandmother!" After Su Yueqi came out, he bowed to old Mrs. Kang.
Old Kang was extremely surprised and quickly pulled Su Yueqi up.
Now she is counting on this child to bring her fame and honor.
"Why are you back? When did you get home?" asked old Mrs. Kang.
Su Yueqi answered them one by one and asked Mr. Kang to sit down.
The people from the second house were chatting with old Mrs. Kang, and they seemed to be in a very friendly mood. The aunt and niece seemed to have forgotten that today was the day of Campbell's funeral.
……
Since Su Yueqi returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the old Marquis naturally came back as well, but he did not return until the afternoon of the next day.
Old Mr. Kang didn't care what he did outside, he just simply mentioned that Campbell was dead.
The old marquis just sighed that life is unpredictable and said nothing more.
In his opinion, it would not be a pity if a waste like Campbell died.
Over the years, Old Kang and Young Kang had given him a lot of money for his expenses, but he had always turned a blind eye.
Now that people are dead, it's a good opportunity to save money.
"It's just right that Yue Qi is back. Please arrange for everyone in each room to have dinner together in the main courtyard tonight." The old marquis ordered.
"Okay, let's have dinner together." Old Kang agreed.
Su Qingwan and others also received the message, so they went there with their father, mother, and Su Yuewu, but Su Yuewen did not go. He was still in the Imperial College today and had not returned.
Su Qingwan supported Jiang and walked forward, glancing at her father's waist out of the corner of her eye.
He brought a auspicious cloud jade pendant with him when he went out today. She had asked her mother before where her father got this jade pendant from. Jiang said that her father bought it casually on the way back to Beijing.
Su Qingwan just found it funny after hearing this. Her father was born in a marquis's mansion and had Prince Yi's mansion behind him. He must have seen a lot of good things. How could he just buy an ordinary jade pendant that looked like nothing special?
If it was used to hide his identity on the way to Beijing, but now he has arrived in the capital city and his clothes are not so simple, why is he still wearing this jade pendant that does not match his identity?
There is also the place my father often goes to. It seems I have to go there in person.
While I was thinking about these things, the people from the third room arrived at the main courtyard.
Men and women sat separately, and the old marquis sat together with his two sons and two grandsons.
Su Yuejie from the main house was lying in bed and couldn't get up at all, so he didn't come to the main courtyard.
Old Mrs. Kang led the female relatives to a table, and Su Qingwan sat next to Mrs. Jiang.
Su Yunrou, who had been learning the rules, also came and sat next to the haggard-looking Mrs. Liu. Su Yuning naturally came with the eldest lady, but after she sat down, she started playing with her nails and didn't talk to anyone.
Xiao Kang also came with Su Lihan. When Su Lihan saw Su Qingwan, she raised her hand to reveal the newly bought red gold bracelet on her wrist.
Stupid! Su Qingwan only took a glance and then looked away.
Several concubines also arrived. Among them, Hua Jiaoniang from the first wife was the most gorgeously dressed. She stroked her bulging belly and sat down carefully.
Some other concubines claimed to be ill and did not come, such as Concubine Zhong from the second room.
She now listens to Su Qingwan, rarely shows up in public, and tries hard to reduce her presence.
Liu looked at Hua Jiaoniang's pretentious appearance and snorted with disgust.
Do you really think you are pregnant with a golden nugget?
Ha! It all depends on whether you have the ability to give birth to this evil creature.
Hua Jiaoniang didn’t care at all about Liu’s attitude. She had never liked her anyway, but so what?
Even if she doesn't like it, she still has to take care of herself with good food and drink. Those things sent to her are all valuable good things, and she should be able to enjoy them!
