Chapter 20 The male protagonist kneels down to me

Perhaps it was the blatant look in his two sons' eyes that made Su Junyao inexplicably recall a recent embarrassing incident.

He cleared his throat: "Ahem, it's windy outside, let's go inside first."

The royal physician has already examined Madam Wen and said that she was simply overwhelmed with anger, which caused her to vomit up the blood clots in her lungs.

There's nothing seriously wrong; just rest is all that's needed.

Old Marquis Su sat in the middle of the room, looking at the weeping Zheng Xiulan and the kneeling Qiao Muyang who remained silent, his face cold: "You two explain to me what you said that could make my wife so angry!"

Qiao Muyang was already intimidated by the old Marquis Su. Every time the old Marquis Su looked at him, it felt like he had been stripped naked and thrown into a crowd, leaving him feeling completely lost.

It was as if he could see through all his little thoughts.

His mother always sent him to curry favor with the old Marquis, but every time he saw him, he was terrified, like a mouse seeing a cat. This time, after being glared at by him, Qiao Muyang felt his legs trembling so badly he almost couldn't kneel down.

Lord Su disliked the mother and son in front of him. Seeing Qiao Muyang's guilty look, he curled his lip, but he didn't make things difficult for a half-grown child. Instead, he turned his attention to Madam Zheng: "Tell me, what did you say to your aunt!"

Zheng Xiulan trembled and even cast a pleading look at Su Junyao, who had just entered the house. Her eyes were full of flirtatious glances, which made Su Junyao feel a chill down his spine, as if he were being stared at by a female ghost!

Su Junyao: I should have just stayed outside in the wind!

Su Junyao didn't make eye contact with Zheng Xiulan at all. He stood next to the old Marquis with Qiuqiu in his arms, his eyes firm as if he could join the army at any moment!

Chiu Chiu excitedly waved her little hands: "Grandpa, Grandpa!"

Although she wasn't one of the Calabash Brothers, she still loved her grandfather very much!

Just moments ago, the old Marquis Su was so fierce he could kill with his eyes, but suddenly his demeanor changed. His old face twisted like a sunflower as he clapped his hands and stretched them out towards Qiuqiu: "Oh, who's here?"

"So it's Grandpa's precious Chuchu!"

Having already witnessed how much the old man loved Qiuqiu, Su Junyao handed Qiuqiu to him without batting an eye, but the expressions on the faces of the others were quite interesting.

The Zheng family mother and son were horrified. Could the old Marquis have been possessed by an evil spirit?

The twins' faces turned green.

Just now, Qiuqiu said that Aunt Zheng's crying sounded like a door being slammed shut. Doesn't Grandpa's voice sound the same?

Go ahead and clamp them down, they won't make a sound. Who can out-clamp their grandpa?

But none of this interfered with the grandfather and grandson's meeting!

Lord Su: "Chirp chirp!"

Chirp: [Grandpa!]

Lord Su: "My darling!"

Chirp: [My dear grandpa!]

The three members of the Su family: "..."

Lord Su was in a great mood, holding the amused Qiuqiu in his arms, and even found himself liking the Zheng family mother and son.

Afraid of frightening Qiuqiu, he wasn't as serious as before, and simply pointed at Zheng Shi, demanding that she confess honestly.

Zheng Xiulan's gaze towards Su Junyao wasn't innocent, but anyone with eyes could see that Su Junyao didn't want to talk to her and was trying hard to control himself from slapping her to clear his head.

However, his restrained demeanor took on a different meaning in Zheng Xiulan's eyes.

My cousin's forbearance might mean there's more to the story than meets the eye.

"cousin!"

Su Junyao was horrified: "Speak properly!"

Zheng Xiulan wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and poured out her grievances to Old Marquis Su: "A few days ago, my cousin sent me a thousand taels of silver for winter expenses, but a few days later he came in a hurry to ask for it back, and smashed my house to pieces without saying a word. But I know that my cousin must have something he can't say, and it must be someone who is gossiping about you that caused this."

"If my cousin had said so yesterday, I wouldn't have come today, and I wouldn't have caused my aunt to worry about this matter and become so angry."

"Woo woo woo, all the mistakes are Lan'er's fault!"

Zheng Xiulan is only two months younger than Su Junyao and is already thirty-six. Although she has maintained herself well and is quite pretty, it is not appropriate for her to act so delicately like a little girl anymore.

With just one flirtatious glance, Su Junyao almost vomited.

But while an adult can hold back, a child might not.

Chirp, looking distressed: [Ugh, so disgusting. Chirp feels like throwing up!]

What a vicious woman! She actually wanted to disgust Jiujiu to death and make her beautiful mother heartbroken.

The little one rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and looked like he was about to faint from nausea.

Old Marquis Su covered Jiujiu's eyes with his hands and looked at Zheng with dissatisfaction: "There are children here. Put away your brothel style. No one here will fall for you!"

She's something that can't be presented in public; I don't know what the Wen family likes about their niece!

The words of the old Marquis Su were harsh, like a slap in the face to Zheng Xiulan. She still had some pride, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"Uncle, cousin, I..."

"That's enough!" Old Marquis Su interrupted her, "Mu Yang is getting married this year, and you're going to be a grandmother soon. You should be more careful with what you say and do!"

Chiu Chiu, this little rascal, is different from other silly chubby babies. She really copies any strange and unusual things.

And now, he's staring intently at the Zheng family mother and son!

[Mu Yang? Qiao Mu Yang?]

[Oh my god, the male lead is kneeling before me!]

Old Marquis Su was holding Jiujiu in his arms, and Qiao Muyang was kneeling in front of him, which could be considered as kneeling down to Jiujiu.

I actually got such a great deal!

Su family: “???”

The male lead? Qiao Muyang?

Is Jiujiu's predictive ability broken?

The male protagonist that Jiujiu mentioned should be the talented scholar in the opera who can do everything to attract the hearts of young ladies or ghosts and monsters.

Unfortunately, the Su family didn't think Qiao Muyang had this ability. Instead, they often saw him following Zheng's door to ask for money, and they felt that he lacked the arrogance of a scholar and was only a calculating businessman.

Despite being shocked, Su Junyao barely remembered to prove his innocence: "Dad, everyone is here now, you have to make the decision for me!"

Lord Su finally withdrew his gaze from Qiao Muyang and glanced at him: "Do you still need me to make the decision for you? Haven't you already gone to other people's houses to destroy them?"

Su Junyao retorted, "Is a man's innocence no longer innocence? Zheng has repeatedly framed me, almost causing my marriage to fall apart. Her intentions are despicable!"

He was determined to make things clear in front of the children.

Especially in front of Jiujiu, he had to say it clearly so that she could go back and tell her mother everything without missing a word. He had to let the lady know that he was a man of integrity!

"Zheng family, I've put up with you for far too long!"

Zheng Xiulan trembled, staring at Su Junyao in disbelief, "Cousin, what did you say?"

Su Junyao didn't speak, but instead pulled up Wen Shi, who was already awake and eavesdropping on the bed: "Mother, stop pretending to be unconscious. Today, we'll make things clear with Zheng Shi, and stop sending him money and things in my name."

"You may be shameless, but I am!"

"You just gave me a thousand taels without saying anything. You are really good at pretending to be generous, mother!"
