Chapter 338: The Contest between Mr. Kang and Mrs. Liu
"I am this old now, and I am still being humiliated like this. God have mercy on me. I don't want to live anymore."
She cried and slapped her thighs, tears falling down her face, looking like a poor old lady being bullied.
"Hey, old Kang, are you going to bring out your foxy skills from your youth again?"
Old Mrs. Liu started to sneer.
"Aunt, are you okay?"
Seeing that the old princess had finally finished her rage, Su Qingwan stepped forward to support the old princess and asked with a concerned look on her face.
"Today went very smoothly. This old fox will probably faint next time."
The old princess hurriedly pulled Su Qingwan, as if she was afraid that the blood on the battlefield would splash on her.
After the old princess went up to start the fight, she naturally had to restrain her edge and let old Madam Liu and old Kang confront each other. After all, old Kang's retribution had just begun, and she couldn't let it go so easily.
Seeing the old princess venting her anger and leaving the battlefield, old Kang knew that the two were not on the same level. If she continued to blame the old princess, she would be the one who would suffer. So old Kang immediately grabbed old Madam Liu, changed the subject, and acted as if she was heartbroken.
"I've been so good to your Liu family, and I even let your illegitimate daughter marry my eldest son and become the mistress in charge of the household. Is this how you, an old bitch, treat me?"
"Get out of here, get out of the mansion!"
Old Kang roared loudly.
But Madam Liu was even more disdainful. "Old bitch Kang, you don't need to tell me. We in the Earl of Yongkang's Mansion will leave such a dirty place like the Marquis of Chengping's Mansion."
"But you must return the 40,000 taels you took from my daughter's house last time. We should completely cut off contact with each other, otherwise Su Yunrou will become a concubine in the future and cause trouble for the girl in our Earl's Mansion."
As soon as she finished speaking, the people following Old Madam Liu immediately grabbed Madam Xu.
This old woman is close to Mr. Kang and holds the key to Mr. Kang's private vault.
"Madam, please hand over 40,000 taels!"
Naturally, Nanny Xu refused to go. She was the old lady's most trusted person and naturally knew what old Kang valued most. How could she let someone from the Earl's Mansion take it away?
"Speaking of these 40,000 taels, I must have a good talk about it."
"Do you dare? Are you worthy? Now Su Yunrou is already a concubine. There is no need to think too much about the interests involved. Aren't you afraid that if you tell the emperor, he will kill you and the first wife?"
Old Madam Liu is also a very shrewd person. Now Su Yunrou has been changed from the Princess of Rui to a concubine. It goes without saying that she must have offended Long Wei. If Old Kang dares to tell others about the affair between Zhang Jueping and the Prince of Rui at this moment, the ones who will suffer the most will be Old Kang and the first wife of the Marquis' Mansion.
"let me go!"
Nanny Xu was dragged out by the two men, but this was the Marquis' Mansion after all, and how could they allow servants from other mansions to act so presumptuously? Other servants immediately stepped forward to stop them.
When Old Kang saw this scene, he felt the veins on his forehead bulging and his breath swelled in his heart.
The Liu family wanted to embarrass her. This was outrageous. She shouted, "Stop!"
After she shouted, her face turned red in an instant. She raised her hand to hit one of them, but missed him. Her body stiffened and she suddenly fell forward.
"Madam! What's wrong with you?"
Nanny Xu screamed in shock and tried to catch the person, but unexpectedly she also fell down.
"grandmother!"
Su Yunrou hurried forward and helped turn old Kang over.
Everyone saw that Old Kang's face turned ashen and he fainted from anger.
"Mother!" Su Zhiwen also rushed forward, and when he saw the condition of old Kang, he felt something was wrong.
He couldn't let anything happen to old Mrs. Kang. Now the second branch was counting on his mother for help, and his mother had also said that she would help him get the position of the eldest son of the Marquis' Mansion, so nothing could happen to him!
"What are you still standing there for? Go get a doctor!"
Su Zhiwen pinched the old lady's philtrum, and Su Yunrou helped her to calm her down. She had just weighed the pros and cons. If old Mrs. Kang was angered to death by the people in the Earl's Mansion today, she could postpone her visit to Prince Rui's Mansion for a year in the name of mourning.
But there are so many people talking today, and if it finally gets out that it was because I insisted on becoming Prince Rui's concubine that old Kang fainted, I'm afraid Prince Qi will misunderstand that I am still deeply in love with Prince Rui. Besides, a year is too long, who knows if the Emperor will grant Prince Qi a marriage one day?
She couldn't afford to gamble, nor did she dare to gamble. She could only hope that old Kang would be fine!
Some people went to ask for a doctor, while others were still sitting there watching the fun. At this time, the people on the stage had already been waved away by Su Qingwan. After all, the show in the Marquis' Mansion was more lively at this time.
"She was feeling guilty, so she fainted from anger. She deserved it!" The old princess was quite satisfied. She thought it would be better if old Kang died.
Su Qingwan had been watching from the side without saying anything. When she saw Old Kang fainted, she felt extremely relieved.
"Madame Xu, you should give the 40,000 taels to the Earl's Mansion, so as to avoid further trouble and make it difficult to resolve."
Aunt Xu was pushed aside. She wanted to help but couldn't. However, she didn't dare to listen to Su Qingwan and looked at Su Zhiwen instead.
Su Zhiwen frowned so hard that he could kill a few flies. He looked at Liu and said, "Sister-in-law, the Earl's Mansion is your mother's home. You make the decision!"
Liu felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She had originally thought that the people from the Earl's Mansion came here today to curry favor with her and Su Yunrou, but she never expected it would turn out like this.
She did not tell Old Madam Liu and the others about Yun Rou becoming a concubine because she knew her daughter would never go to Prince Rui's Mansion to be a concubine, so why bother telling the people in the Earl's Mansion? It would be unnecessary.
But unexpectedly, Su Lihan suddenly said it out in public. No need to think too much, Xiaokang must have taught her to do this in order to make Yun Rou embarrassed in public, and now Su Zhiwen is pretending to let her make the decision.
Oh! What a good trick to sow discord!
No matter what she says, she will offend people.
By agreeing to let the Earl's Mansion take away 40,000 taels, he had offended old Mrs. Kang and would probably have a hard time in the Marquis' Mansion in the future.
If I don't agree, my relationship with the Earl's Mansion will only get worse, which is equivalent to losing the support of my natal family. By then, my life will not be easy.
Su Yunrou also knew the interests involved. She had always underestimated her second uncle, and he actually stabbed the eldest wife in the back at this time.
She looked at the people in the Earl's Mansion. These people flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak. They humiliated her in public today just to distance themselves from her.
OK!
She would also like to see what kind of families the daughters of the Earl's Mansion can marry into, especially those who despise her for being unlucky.
I will just wait until I become the Princess of Qi and the Queen in the future, and then I will come to see how regretful Old Liu and others look.
"Mother, return the 40,000 taels from the Earl's Mansion to them. The Earl's Mansion can do shameless things, but our Marquis' Mansion cannot do such a dirty thing."
After saying that, he looked at Su Zhiwen and said, "Second Uncle, don't you think so?"
If you want to get the people from the second house out of this matter, it depends on whether Su Yunrou is willing.
Now there is only Su Zhiwen here, and he is the second master of the Marquis' Mansion, so he has the power to make decisions.
Su Zhiwen frowned, feeling that Su Yunrou's question was a little inappropriate, but so many women were looking at him that he would definitely not be able to not express his opinion, so he could only nod and respond:
"Listen to the second girl over there, Madam Xu, go to the old lady's storehouse and get 40,000 taels."
Su Zhiwen remembered that last time his mother asked Aunt Xu to pawn old Mrs. Li's belongings, which amounted to nearly 50,000 taels. Although the immortal master donated 10,000 taels and took away 10,000 taels, there were still 30,000 taels in the old lady's storehouse. Today, some silver money happened to be deposited into the account, so 40,000 taels should be enough.
