Su Yao was much calmer in front of Old Lady Su. When he heard Old Lady Su's question, he nodded and said, "Everything has been arranged. We have chosen a good place in our village..."
Except for Su An, no one in the Su family would care about how to arrange Su Xingxuan's funeral. The reason why Old Mrs. Su asked about it was just because she asked about the Wang family today.
Hearing that everything was done, Mrs. Su nodded, and suddenly felt a bump. She couldn't help but cry out, but her body had already left the spacious seat and almost fell on the soft carpet.
Fortunately, Su Yao reacted quickly and supported Old Madam Su, preventing her from falling.
But she couldn't help frowning.
When returning to the Su's house from the He's house, they walked on the main road, which was crowded with people. It was known as the most prosperous street in the capital. Logically speaking, a carriage should not vibrate so violently here. After Old Lady Su sat firmly, she became a little annoyed.
The one who went out with her today was Li Rui. He came over almost as soon as Old Lady Su sat down, and apologized to her through the car window: "Old Lady, Fourth Miss, someone suddenly came to stop the car just now, and the driver tried to dodge, so this happened. Are you two injured?"
Old Mrs. Su frowned and said, "Nothing happened. Who stopped the car?"
There are emblems on the Su family's carriages. Although the title of the Yongding Earl's Mansion is still undecided, it is not something that ordinary people can challenge. Those who stop the carriage knowing that it is the Yongding Earl's Mansion are definitely not ordinary people.
Li Rui's voice rang out after a while: "Madam, it's the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery... and Wen Shichang..."
When they heard that it was Wen Shichang, both the grandfather and grandson looked unhappy.
Especially old lady Su, she felt it was unlucky.
What Wen Shichang did to Su Xingyi really made her extremely angry. She originally planned to let this man fend for himself, so she didn't ask about his current situation. But she didn't expect that he would come to her house and even stop a carriage in the street.
What on earth do they want to do?!
Old Madam Su was ordering in a bad tone: "Ignore it and go home!"
The Wen family was now experiencing a huge change, and it could be said that the family was broken up. She could guess what they wanted to do by coming to their house at this time. They simply wanted to use the children to make Su Xingyi change her mind.
But the Wen family's ugly face was exposed, and they tortured Su Xingyi into that state. Old Madam Su was already extremely disgusted with them. How could she let them succeed
She snorted.
But the next moment, she heard the crying of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery outside the car.
It's really a ghost that's lingering. Old Mrs. Su had a gloomy face. She lifted the curtain and was about to scold, but suddenly her expression changed abruptly and she immediately lowered the curtain.
Before Su Yao could ask anything, Old Lady Su held down Su Yao's hand and said, "Don't look!"
Su Yao could more or less guess what was happening outside.
She asked in a low voice: "Did the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery... commit suicide?"
Old Madam Su knew that she was smart, and she didn't hide it from her: "What a disgusting woman! People say that a woman should take good care of her husband and children, but what did she do? She let her husband and son do evil things without trying to persuade them. Now that something has happened, there is clearly a way out, but she refuses to live a peaceful life and has to use such methods to disgust people. She thinks she is great and is willing to risk her life for her son, but she doesn't think about the fact that it is because she is willing to risk her life to spoil her son that she has spoiled him to death!"
Old Mrs. Su was extremely angry, but she did not show any mercy or try to calm things down. She simply asked Li Rui to deal with the matter outside quickly and did not even have the interest to look at Wen Shichang and his mother.
Li Rui was about to agree, but Su Yao coughed and stopped him.
The fourth young lady now holds a special status in the mansion. Anyone with eyes can see that both the old lady and the eldest young master trust and like her very much.
Now the Third Wife is recuperating and worshipping Buddha, the Second Wife has always been a reclusive person, and all power in the family has fallen into the hands of the Old Lady. Naturally, Li Rui is very attentive to the Fourth Young Lady.
Hearing Su Yao say this, he hurriedly stopped, not caring about the chaos outside, and said first: "Fourth Miss, please give me your orders."
Su Yao first asked him, "Do you have any money with you?"
Li Rui was confused, but he still nodded truthfully: "To answer the girl, I didn't bring much..."
"It doesn't matter how much." Su Yao said calmly, "All of it was given to the Wen family. In addition, let's say that the words of our ancestors were passed down. The dowry of more than 100,000 taels that our eldest daughter brought with her has been spent by their family. The two families divorced, and the eldest daughter did not have a single copper coin except for taking two children home. Even if we are kind-hearted now, he has abandoned his wife and children and angered his mother to death. We gave it to him without mercy and regardless of past grudges. Let him walk his future on his own."
As Li Rui listened, he exclaimed in his heart.
Wen Shichang stopped the car in the street simply because he saw that the Su family was now the powerful party and was sure that the Su family would not dare to show off for the sake of their reputation.
If the old lady had followed her approach, she would have been able to vent her anger and avoid being threatened, but Su Yao's move was even more unique and ingenious.
He did as Su Yao said, collected all the small change on his body, and told Su Yao's words in a lukewarm manner, and finally raised his voice and said loudly: "Master Wen, look at you, you schemed against your original wife to subsidize your concubine, your family tradition is not right, first you harmed yourself, and then dragged down your parents. Our daughter is a kind-hearted person, you took her dowry to support the family, she didn't say a word, when she got married, she had a gorgeous dowry, and when she divorced, she came back empty-handed, we have done our best. You see, your wife has come to confess with you, hey, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? Don't you think so?"
As he spoke, he stuffed the silver change into the hands of Wen Shichang, whose eyes were already red with anger. He didn't care that Wen Shichang scattered the silver all over the floor. He shook his head and sighed, and told the driver to set off again.
There was endless discussion around him, and without exception, all of them were saying things like being shameless, a prodigal, and an unfaithful person. Wen Shichang clenched a dime in his hand, and even though his palm was bloody, he didn't feel any pain. He just stared at the carriage going further and further away with bloodshot eyes.
Old Madam Su sneered in the carriage: "How shameless!"
"I'm afraid it's not that they are shameless, but that someone is treating them as pawns." Su Yao was calm and composed. He didn't feel sorry for the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. As the old lady said, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked. If she hadn't spoiled her child, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
