Views:

Old Madam Su was not surprised. She even looked at Su Xingyi with some sarcasm on her face and raised her eyebrows and said, "As you guessed, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery knows about this matter."

That's even more hateful.

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is also a woman, but she could actually stand by and watch the men in the family plotting to frame their daughter-in-law. She kept saying that she doted on her children, but if she really did, she would not do such a thing to their mother!

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Su Xingyi with a gloomy face: "Since you have such insight, why have you been holding back these grievances for so many years and not telling us a word? You are really patient!"

Wen Shichang had bought property outside and had a so-called concubine and children. This must have been going on for a long time. After hearing about this, Old Lady Su asked He Jian to find out. That woman regarded herself as the principal wife, and not only did she become rich, she also helped her parents' family, turning her impoverished family into well-known local rich people.

All of these were fed to them by Wen Shichang after he sucked Su Xingyi's blood!

"I'm confused." Su Xingyi laughed at herself and held Mrs. Su's hand. Seeing her brother looking at her worriedly, she lowered her head and sighed softly, "At first, I didn't know he was doing so much outside. He always covered it up very well, saying that he lost money in business and was cheated by his partner, and he cheated me of half of my dowry. It was like boiling a frog in warm water. I didn't even suspect anything. I just thought he was unlucky and had bad luck. Naturally, I didn't want to mention it to my family and make you worry..."

Repeated tolerance and gentle obedience did not win Wen Shichang's consideration and conscience, and he began to do more and more excessive things.

Su Xingyi paused, then sneered: "Later, they gradually became dissatisfied, and began to use other methods to cheat money, saying that they had to use connections and drag people to make the request for the title of Prince go through smoothly. You also know that I always felt that I was a burden to them, so they couldn't keep the title smoothly, so I gave it to..."

Later, she heard some rumors and began to suspect Wen Shichang.

It was also from that time that Wen Shichang began to tamper with her food.

They were married and had two children, and she was pregnant. How could she have imagined that the man beside her was so vicious and would scheme against her like that

Su Rong's face was stern, and his eyes were spitting fire: "This matter will not be let go just like this!"

Even if the Wen family was not the mastermind, he would make the people of the Wen family pay the price, especially Wen Shichang, and would not let him have an easy time!

Su Xingyi stroked the scar on her face. She had no objection to Su Rong's harsh words. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the mirror handed to her by Liu, and shook her head slowly: "Take it away. This scar is also good. It reminds me all the time how the Wen family treated me and how dangerous this world is. From now on, I will never be so careless again."

But the price was too high. Old Madam Su couldn't bear it. She touched her face and sighed, "Silly child, what are you talking about? Think of a way. Find a few more doctors. There may be a way. You are so young. Why are you talking so discouragingly?"

Su Xingyi smiled but said nothing. She just talked about Mrs. Su San and the others going to the He family: "Grandma, although Aunt San is confused, my wife has always been the most fair person. Plus, there is Yaoyao... Do you really intend to let her stay in the Buddhist temple for the rest of her life?"

At this point, Old Lady Su interrupted her granddaughter and said, "No need to say more. I have already made up my mind. She is a confused person. She has been the housekeeper for so many years, but her mind is still not well. Her own room is in a mess. If she is in charge of this house, won't it be a mess? Letting her have some free time from now on is for her own good."

Su Rong interrupted at this time: "It's just that you are old after all, and you haven't been in charge of things for a long time..."

The old Lord has seniority, but it is not really his right to be the head of the family. After all, it is a customary thing. For him to be so old and still have to worry about the family's finances makes it seem like the younger ones are not capable of anything.

"I've thought about this, and since you're here, I want Xingyi and Yaoyao to take care of things together." Mrs. Su said this calmly. Seeing that Su Rong seemed to be thinking about something, but Su Xingyi frowned, she held Su Xingyi's hand and said, "Listen to me, your second aunt has always only been a person who sweeps the snow in front of her own door, not caring about other people's snow and frost. You can't rely on her. Yaoyao is a very smart person, and you have always been calculating. I know what you are worried about. Anyway, it's just your family affairs for you to take care of. Your third uncle and your brother will naturally be in charge of external socializing, or I will come forward. Let's just leave it at that."

Su Xingyi wanted to persuade Old Madam Su again, but seeing Li Rui hurried in from outside, she held back and just looked at Li Rui along with Old Madam Su and Su Rong.

As soon as Li Rui came in, he knelt down and saluted. He didn't even have time to stand up before reporting to Old Lady Su and the others, "Old Lady, Master and Miss, the Jinyiwei surrounded the Marquis of Changping's mansion! The news just came back, and I heard that it was Assistant Minister Song who led the team personally, and even the Marquis of Changping was captured!"

When Song Heng came in the morning, he said that things had not made any progress and were at a stalemate. Now, just as the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery went to file a complaint, the Marquis of Changping's Mansion was surrounded. Needless to say, it was because the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery took out something that would cause the Jinyiwei to come and cause trouble.

Su Rong's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaim "good".

Old Madam Su also waited for a moment before she said, "Great! Great! This is God's will. If we can use this incident to clarify what happened back then, then it can be considered a good thing done by the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion."

The He family also received the news. Mr. He went to the backyard and told Mrs. He about it. At the end, he looked at Mrs. Su and said, "You see, such a big thing was caused by your good daughter! You are still not convinced now, what do you have to be unconvinced about?! Yaoyao is right in front of you. She has been raised by our mother for several years. Mother always says she is good. Why do you always think she is not good?"

Su Yao didn't react at all when he was suddenly called. He sat next to Mrs. He with his eyes lowered, not even looking at Mrs. Su San.

It's like this again! It's always like this! Mrs. Su San was suddenly overwhelmed with grief. She grabbed Su Yao's hand and asked her crying, "I haven't scolded you, and I haven't done anything wrong to you. Why do you always look like I'm sorry for you?! You were taken away by mistake, and it wasn't my fault..."
