Chapter 153 The So-called Witness
Witness.
Su Zhiyi, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Patriarch, you are joking, right? Where did the witness come from? That woman was my sister's adoptive mother, and she is dead now."
Never miss an opportunity to belittle Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Shengsheng looked at her disdainfully: "My adoptive mother? Isn't that your biological mother? That old woman."
Su Zhiyi: “…”
His face flushed and his throat choked.
I actually forgot about this.
Su Yanshu frowned and held Su Zhiyi's shoulders: "Shengsheng, why are you so aggressive?"
Yu Shengsheng was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Jin Baobao rolled his eyes: "She is looking for trouble herself and blaming others."
Su Huaiyuan shouted: "Shut up!"
He bowed to the clan leader and said, "Clan leader, you said there is a witness. Who is it? Could it be that someone is lying on purpose to cause unrest in our Su family? Although Shengsheng didn't grow up by my side, her appearance is very similar to my wife's."
Mrs. Su touched her face, not knowing whether to nod or shake her head.
It does look alike, but what does that mean?
There are so many similar people in the world.
The balance in her heart was swaying. Shengsheng was not close to her, no matter what. Could it be true that the child was not hers at all?
Otherwise, how could a child be so unclose to his mother?
The clan leader spoke slowly, "The witness I'm looking for is certainly not just any person, and he won't make false statements."
He turned and looked outside the door: "Please come in."
As he finished speaking, two people walked slowly towards him.
Qi Mubai was wearing a moon-white brocade robe with a layer of gauze on the outside, looking elegant and handsome.
Next to him was a woman, about thirty years old, wearing a purple dress embroidered with flowers. The lace was embroidered in gold, which shone slightly. She looked noble, but also tacky.
His skin was fairly fair, but there were faint wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his nasolabial folds were slightly deep, his lips were painted with dark red lip balm, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, making him look older and more stern.
Yu Shengsheng was a little dazed when she saw her face and her attire.
To be honest, she had never seen such a noble Yu.
Her impression of Yu Shi still remains from many years ago when Qi Mubai was exiled to a farm in the countryside and she would sometimes take time to visit him.
Yu was a concubine and Qi Mubai was born out of wedlock, otherwise they would not have been suppressed by the mistress, so she even had to see her son secretly.
Every time I saw her, her face was full of sorrow. She showed signs of aging early, with a frown on her brow and the hair on her forehead turning white.
Her clothes were also old at that time. Although they were not patched, they were frayed at the edges, or the embroidery was unraveling and the colors were dull.
It's not like now. Although the white frost on her forehead is still there, her hair is smeared with osmanthus oil, inserted with gorgeous jade, and worn with silk and satin, with exquisite embroidery.
She must have taken good care of herself. Ever since her son started to become successful and was valued by the family, her status has also risen.
As a result, the sallow skin gradually began to turn white and the wrinkles became lighter.
Yu Shengsheng still remembers that at that time, Yu would cry and hold her hand, thanking her for taking care of Qi Mubai and saying that she would definitely repay her in the future.
Yu Shengsheng remained calm and watched Yu walk into the yard.
"You all recognize this guy, right? He's the new number one scholar, and also Zhiyi's fiancé."
The clan leader introduced everyone: "This is the mother of the top scholar."
"She's here as a witness, you should believe her, right?"
Jin Baobao muttered quietly: "How can we trust the little dog and the old dog who gave birth to him?"
Yu Shengsheng pursed her lips and almost couldn't help laughing.
The next moment, Yu walked straight up to her and grabbed her hand - just like she did back then.
"Shengsheng!"
Yu looked him up and down, her face full of joy: "Long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful, and the clothes you wear are better than before."
Her joy was visible on the surface, and Yu Shengsheng could see it at a glance.
"This wealthy family is all about supporting people. You are indeed different now compared to before. You are no longer the skinny little girl who insisted on marrying Mu Bai."
The scene was silent.
Yu Shengsheng's lips curled up slightly: "Your clothes are different from before. You don't look as haggard as before when you were crying in the countryside complaining that Madam Qi treated you badly and deducted your food and clothing."
"But your brain is still the same as before, not very good, and you tend to remember things wrongly. I'm not insisting on marrying your son. Your future daughter-in-law is there, be careful that she will have a bad first impression of you as a mother-in-law after hearing this."
Yu Shengsheng tilted her head to look at Su Zhiyi: "Your mother-in-law is here, don't you want to say hello?"
Su Zhiyi: “…”
Su Yanshu blocked Su Zhiyi with his arm in a protective manner and looked at Yu vigilantly.
Concubine, stingy, haggard, not very smart, these few words were like slaps in Yu's face, shattering her frivolous smile, leaving nothing behind.
"Shengsheng, you are still as talkative as before. You are still uneducated. It was fine when you were in the countryside, guarding your adoptive parents' shabby house, but now that you are in the Su family, how can you not restrain yourself?"
"You look a lot like your wicked adoptive mother."
Yu Shengsheng's smile remained unchanged: "Go tell your future daughter-in-law that the wicked person you mentioned is her biological mother."
Yu said angrily: "You..."
She already had a bitter look on her face, and now that she was angry, she looked even more mean.
She raised her hand to hit him, but Jin Baobao grabbed her wrist.
"Where did this blind old woman come from, with such a bitter face, to dare to persuade my young lady to do it?"
Yu shouted, "How dare you! Where did you come from, you little bitch? I am the mother of the number one scholar!"
"Bah, I'm still the princess' maid," Jin Baobao was not afraid at all, and pushed her hard towards Qi Mubai.
"You bastard, watch your mother. What the hell, the son of a mouse can dig a hole."
Qi Mubai's face turned pale and blue, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
He clearly told me what to say and what not to say before I came, so why didn't I listen?
He had to expose his ugly and uneducated side and embarrass himself in front of so many people.
Especially in front of Shengsheng.
In fact, he had been holding a grudge in his heart, and he really wanted to become successful one day. Not only did he want to marry Yu Shengsheng, but he also wanted others to look up to him and his son, and make others feel that they were wrong to look down on them in the past.
But he forgot that his biological mother was originally a concubine and a singer in the opera troupe. She had never read any books except the opera scripts and only recognized her own name and the name of the opera troupe.
Even if I have changed my clothes now, from rags to fancy clothes, it is still the same.
What is inside cannot be changed.
He supported Yu and applied a little force on his hands.
"Shengsheng, my mother didn't come here to reminisce with you, she came here to..."
"I don't have much to discuss with her," Yu Shengsheng said bluntly, with a cold look in her eyes, "What are you doing here? Just tell me directly."
