For several days, Master Su San was busy preparing new things for Su Yao. He was not afraid that Su Yao would refuse. When he heard Su Yao say that it was enough, he said, "What do you mean by enough? Ruyi used to have new clothes all year round. You are already being wronged."
Whether it was a belated awakening of conscience or he felt that he was a rare treasure, after all, Master Su San really began to focus most of his attention on her and paid close attention to her joys and sorrows. Su Yao smiled faintly and let him do as he pleased.
Even Shen's mother said privately: "If this had happened when we first came to Beijing, I wouldn't even dare to think about it."
As parents, their love for their children is conditional. In the past, Master Su San would never even look at Su Yao, let alone consider every detail of his life.
Su Yao didn't take it too seriously and just said to Mother Shen: "Just put them all away."
Mother Shen agreed and sent Su Yao out to the meeting room, saying, "If you have nothing to do today, you can come back early. Master Jiayan will come to our house for dinner in the evening."
It was Su Rong who invited Shen Jiayan, saying that he had found a teacher for Shen Jiayan and asked Shen Jiayan to come over first to let the teacher take a look.
Speaking of Shen Jiayan, the smile on Su Yao's face became even gentler. She nodded and went out. When she arrived at the meeting room, she saw Qing Kun and Li Rui talking about something in the corridor. Both of them looked a little excited. When they saw her, they hurried up to greet her.
Su Yao raised his hand to stop them, then asked what they were talking about.
"Miss, we are talking about Commander Lai." Li Rui leaned forward, with a meaningful smile on his face: "It has been spread outside these days that Commander Lai wanted to divorce his wife, and as a result, Mrs. Lai ran to the Jiang family in anger and made a scene..."
Su Yao kept walking, and she had an idea in her mind. Calculating the time, Song Heng should have made some moves. She said "oh" and waited until she sat down in the hall before asking Li Rui, "Tell me more clearly, what's going on?"
Li Rui laughed and said, "Miss, it's like this. A few days ago, Commander Lai was drinking in the Lion Tower. I don't know why, but Madam Lai ran to the Lion Tower to have a big fight with him. The people who were drinking with Commander Lai at the time were all from the Yulin Guard and the Jinyi Guard. They all saw it clearly. I happened to be in the Lion Tower with the Third Master that day, and I saw with my own eyes that Commander Lai was scratched by Madam Lai until his face was covered with bruises. Later, Commander Lai dragged Madam Lai away..."
As a member of the Su family, no one does not hope that Lai Weiqi, who is always looking for trouble, will get into trouble. Li Rui is quite gloating: "Originally, this matter has become a topic of conversation on the streets. We can always hear people talking about it when we go out. After all, Commander Lai is usually such a powerful person. Who would have thought that he would be beaten by his own wife..."
Su Yao looked at the account book in his hand with great interest and motioned Li Rui to continue.
"Who would have thought that early this morning, Madam Lai went to the Jiang family's gate and threatened to bang on it, saying that Commander Lai wanted to divorce her for the Jiang family's Concubine Jiang, who had become the concubine of Prince Fenyang, and she didn't want to live..." Li Rui couldn't help laughing as he spoke, "It was a mess, and everyone in the Jiang family was confused. They came up to persuade her, but Madam Lai wouldn't listen, saying that Commander Lai and Concubine Jiang were adulterers..."
Su Yao sighed.
The painting she got was just a painting. She didn't even know who the woman in the painting was. She just thought it would be useful. After all, Lai Weiqi must have a close relationship with someone because he could paint a portrait for her and keep it so carefully.
I never expected that this beauty was actually the concubine of Prince Fenyang
Prince Fenyang is a man with no ambition. He is already a grandfather and will soon be a grandfather-in-law, but he is still as capable as ever. His favorite thing to do is to hang out in brothels.
He is already fifty years old, and he just took a concubine two years ago.
Now that I think about it, Concubine Jiang... I'm afraid she has some story with Lai Weiqi.
It's more than just a story. Mrs. Lai cried at the door of the Jiang family and demanded an explanation from the Jiang family.
She cried and shrugged her shoulders, ignoring the Jiang family's sullen faces: "What childhood sweethearts, what innocent children!? Bah! If your love is really as strong as gold, then you can get married, why harm others!? If you are serious, I have nothing to say, and I am not jealous! But you said you were childhood sweethearts, but you were hiding it. I have been deceived for so many years! The profits from his shop on Zhuque Street have never been included in the public account. I just found out now that it was all given to you..."
Mrs. Lai was so angry that she lost her mind: "She is already the prince's concubine. Even if he really had some feelings for her in the past, she should have changed her mind. He even has a son! You are still instigating him to divorce his wife. Do you have any conscience? Is there any justice in this world?!"
Lord Jiang, the head of the Ministry of Justice, could no longer hold on. He pointed at Mrs. Lai for a while, then suddenly his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The Jiang family was suddenly extremely busy.
Lai Weiqi, who arrived later, had veins bulging on his forehead and almost squeezed the Xiuchun Knife in his hand out of shape.
He regretted marrying this shrew more than once!
He married her because she was the daughter of the Fujian general and was considered a daughter of a general.
It was true that she had gained many benefits because of her background, but now, because of her reckless character that she had developed since childhood, she had caused a big trouble!
He took a few steps forward, grabbed Mrs. Lai's hand and lifted her up, then asked gloomily, "Have you had enough of the trouble? You still think it's not embarrassing enough, right?!"
Mrs. Lai had a good family background, was spoiled since childhood, and had people under her control, so she could run away from the Lai family to cause trouble in the Jiang family. She was not afraid of Lai Weiqi at all, and shook off Lai Weiqi's hand with a sneer: "You are not afraid of embarrassment for doing such shameless things, so why should I be afraid of embarrassment? You coveted my dowry and begged to marry me. Now that you are in a high position and don't need me anymore, you want to kick me away. Where in the world is there such a good thing?! Who do you think you are?!"
Lai Weiqi's right eyelid kept twitching. His patience had reached its limit. He actually grabbed Mrs. Lai's collar and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?! Are you crazy?!"
Mrs. Lai screamed, and an old servant beside her who had been silent came forward immediately to stop Lai Weiqi's hand, and rescued Mrs. Lai without making a sound.
Mrs. Lai was shaking with anger. She rushed forward and pointed at Lai Weiqi and angrily cursed: "Lai Weiqi, you abandoned your wife and children. God will strike you with lightning!"
