She finally found an outlet to vent her anger, and complained without hesitation: "Also, why would Princess Mingchang care about such a small matter? Could it be that because An'er didn't fulfill a few stupid words, the princess doesn't have to go to the emperor to complain?! I've never heard of such a reason! Why can't this matter be resolved? Send Su Xingxuan away far away, and in a few years, this matter will naturally be forgotten..."

She has been thinking about this matter recently and feels extremely regretful.

When Old Madam Su suggested that Su An and Su Xingxuan get married, she should have strongly opposed it. Unfortunately, she was frightened by Old Madam Su at that time and didn't even remember it.

Master Su San sneered: "So after all, you think mother will harm us, right?"

Mrs. Su San didn't say anything, but it was obvious that this was what she meant.

"Put away that look on your face! If you hadn't kept it a secret from me and let that beast out, how could this have happened?" Master Su San was a little annoyed. He waved his hand to let the servant go, and looked at her without hesitation: "What do you know? Right now, the court is in a panic because of the corruption case in the Weaving Bureau. Everyone is staring at our family. Now is the time when we can't make any mistakes, but that beast still made such a thing. If the Qin family wants to bite back, they can just use this incident to report me for my bad family tradition and poor family management, and then report that your son has violated the moral principles and married his sister. By then, will you still worry about whether he can marry a noble lady? You might as well worry about whether he has the face to live!"

Mrs. Su San didn't expect Mr. Su San to say this. She felt like she was struck by lightning and stood there unable to move.

"Besides, isn't it all thanks to you, a good mother, that things have come to this point?" He was also very angry, and took a breath sarcastically: "You are so angry here that your heart aches, but have you ever thought about that rebellious son?"

Mrs. Su San was stunned.

Master Su San knew at a glance that Mrs. Su San was only concerned with her own sadness, disappointment and resentment towards the old lady. He shook his head and said, "You want to die, but your son is very happy. Who can you go to for justice?"

The Su family's house was a reward from the Emperor Taizu. It was said that it was the residence of a favored princess of the previous dynasty. Unlike the square buildings of the princes, this house is also square, but the flowers, trees and landscapes inside have a bit more of the softness and refinement of Jiangnan architecture. Su An's courtyard was carefully selected by Mrs. Su San. There is a crabapple tree in front of the house. When spring comes, the petals will pile up a thick layer on the ground.

When Mrs. Su San arrived, Su An was anxiously directing the people below to set up the swing. He looked excited and happy, and the whole yard was filled with laughter.

This high courtyard was hung with lanterns. When the wind blew, the whole courtyard was covered with a thin layer of light. Mrs. Su San's face became completely gloomy. Countless emotions surged in her heart, but she was speechless for a moment.

This was the son she was so proud of.

Since he was born, she had been trying hard to give him all the best things, and even regarded him as more important than her husband. She originally thought that her position in his heart was equally important.

But in fact, she, as a mother, meant nothing to him.

What she said was useless. Her mood and emotions had no influence on him. What he cared about most was only Su Xingxuan.

This realization filled Mrs. Su San's heart with sadness and pain. The burning anger finally made her lose her mind. She rushed up the stairs and slapped Su An hard.

This was the first time that she had used such great strength to attack him. For a moment, everyone in the yard was shocked. The servants below were trembling with fear, looking at Madam Su San, who was at a loss as to what to do.

Su An also covered his face and looked at her in disbelief. Seeing her face full of anger, he was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted at her in grievance and shock: "Mom! What are you doing?!"

After he was brought back, he was detained for several days. Unlike the previous times, this time when he was caught, neither Mr. Su San nor Mrs. Su San came to trouble him.

He made trouble several times, but no one was willing to let him go.

He originally thought that his parents were really angry this time, but he didn't expect that Su Rong came yesterday and told him that his family decided to let him marry Su Xingxuan. He was so happy that he went crazy.

He had thought about it before, if it really didn’t work out, he would take Su Xingxuan with him.

Although his reputation would be ruined and his future might be ruined, he didn't care as long as he could protect Su Xingxuan.

He had already thought of the worst possible outcome, but suddenly good news came out of the blue. Since he couldn't go out anyway, he couldn't contain his joy and simply ran out to ask the servants to build a swing.

Ruyi likes the swing the most. If she knew that her family had agreed to their plan and saw the swing, she would be very happy.

Su An was so excited that a bucket of cold water was suddenly poured on him. He couldn't understand why.

Mrs. Su San's heart grew colder little by little. All she saw in her son's eyes was joy and excitement, not even a trace of worry or regret.

Yes, Master Su San was right. As parents, they worked so hard and thought so hard for him, but what was the result? They raised a heartless thing!

She was furious, frustrated and disappointed. She pointed at him but couldn't say a word.

It was a dim night. Su Yao stood by the rockery and watched the dispute happening there coldly. He suddenly felt relieved.

You see, the deep love between mother and son and the filial son are all fake.

They were able to live in harmony in their previous life simply because they did not touch each other's bottom line and no one broke the window paper.

Now that the seemingly reasonable layer has been peeled off, Mrs. Su San, who once doted on Su Xingxuan the most, has become the person who hates Su Xingxuan the most.

How ironic.

This was the relative she missed so much in her previous life that she couldn't let go.

"Do you feel better?" Su Rong's wheelchair stopped beside her. After looking up, she turned her head to look at Su Yao. After observing carefully for a while, she said softly, "You see, this is what Su Xingxuan got. She looks like the center of attention, but in fact, these people love her with conditions. Although it may not be good to say this, in fact, if you grew up in this family, you may not be like this now."

It is only natural that children raised by selfish mothers are competitive and unscrupulous.

Mrs. Su San is also to blame for Su Xingxuan's situation.

Although it might not be right to say this, Su Rong felt that Su Yao really didn't need to do anything difficult for himself for the sake of his mother.
