Chapter 451 Su Family
Deputy General Su's wife's face turned pale. "Nonsense! The Su family's grain has been completely devoured by locusts. This is a fact known to all the people in the city. If Madam Ming doesn't want to donate, then fine. Why bother involving my Su family?"
Zhu Mingqing smiled and said, "Really? But my men seem to have seen Deputy General Su appear at the entrance of Liujia Lane in the east of the city. This place should be familiar to you ladies."
Everyone present had a flash of thought. Everyone knew that Liujia Lane was the Su family's largest warehouse, where most of the Su family's grain was stored.
Deputy General Su’s wife’s heart was beating wildly. Could it be that she was really seen?
But this matter must never be made public.
"So what? My husband just wanted to see the Su family's old grain from previous years!" She looked stubborn and refused to admit it.
Zhu Mingqing didn't care. "Well, maybe I misunderstood Madam. After all, there is a big difference between new grain and old grain. I heard that the old man of the Su family even fell seriously ill because of the damaged grain. That's right. If Master Su had really harvested all the grain in time, he would have told the old man the good news long ago."
These words seemed like an apology, but they focused everyone's attention on the difference between the new grain and the old grain.
"You!" Deputy General Su's wife hated the woman in front of her. She was about the same age as her, but she had already been in charge of the family and was even treated as a guest of honor in Prince Huai's mansion.
I originally wanted to take this opportunity to cry to the old princess about the heavy losses suffered by the Su family. It would be even better if the court could provide some compensation.
But now all her and her husband's plans have been disrupted.
There is also the risk of being discovered by the Su family.
At this moment, Deputy General Su's wife wished she could go back to a quarter of an hour ago and never bring up this topic again.
But no one present was a fool, so how could they not see the twists and turns on her face, especially the old princess. Because the disaster had severely affected various places this time, Prince Huai's Mansion did intend to compensate and appease them.
But if you are deceived, that is another matter.
For a moment, everyone looked at Deputy General Su’s wife with a strange expression on their face.
The old princess even waved her hand to call the nanny and whispered a few words in her ear. Mrs. Su, the deputy general, was extremely anxious and wanted to go to the front yard immediately to tell her husband to quickly dispose of all the new grain.
Just at this moment, there was a noise coming from the front yard. Listening carefully, it seemed like someone was arguing.
The old princess didn't want to pay any attention at first, but when she saw Madam Ming suddenly stand up, bow briefly, and then quickly walk towards the front yard.
Everyone was intrigued by her actions. Just then, a servant came to report the situation in the front yard. The old princess immediately stood up, and all the ladies present followed.
"Ming, kneel down and kowtow to Master Su to apologize, and this matter will be over. Why are you so stubborn?"
"Yeah, it's just a piece of clothing, I accidentally bumped into it, that's all. This young master of the Ming family is too rude."
"Mr. Ming, this is Prince Huai's residence, not the Ming family where you act like a spoiled brat. Apologize now!"
The people who were talking were all young men of the same age as Luo Xiao. They were talking to each other, and they wanted to put the blame of causing trouble on Luo Xiao.
Su Dejun's exquisite and expensive robe was stained with wine, and the people behind him looked at Luo Xiao eagerly, as if they were going to kill him in the next second!
Luo Xiao stared at the other person coldly: "It was obviously Master Su who insisted on bumping into me. I didn't even ask you for an explanation, but Master Su is the villain who complained first!"
"Nonsense, we just saw it, that's the person you hit!"
"I didn't expect that the young master of the Ming family is such a liar!"
As soon as Su Dejun raised his hand, everyone stopped talking.
He said in a sly tone, "I've heard the Ming family is incredibly wealthy, so they shouldn't be unable to pay for even a piece of clothing. Of course, if Master Ming insists on denying it, then I'll just have to swallow my words."
Luo Xiao looked at the young men in front of him. Although he had beaten them countless times in his heart, his face was still very calm.
"Mr. Su, right? I haven't moved a step here, and you just bumped into me. Do you think no one saw me, or do you think even if someone saw me, they wouldn't tell anyone?"
Su Dejun looked helpless. He walked up to his ear and said provocatively, "So what if I bumped into you first? Ming, who dared your mother to snatch food from my Su family in Youzhou?"
Luo Xiao suddenly realized: "So it was the Su family whose food was eaten by locusts!"
Su Dejun's face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, a gentle voice came from behind him:
"Son, you're wrong. The Su family's food should have been well hidden by Deputy General Su!"
Zhu Mingqing walked out of the crowd, not caring about the opinions of the people around him, and directly held a bottle of wine and put it in Luo Xiao's hand.
"Didn't you say you were going to throw water on him? If you don't follow through, you'll be wrongly accused! Throw it on him!"
Snap——
Su Deming closed his eyes tightly, and the wine flowed down his eyelashes, wetting his entire clothes.
Everyone present was shocked by her move!
Deputy General Su stood up with a dark face: "Madam Ming, isn't this too much?"
"Jun'er!"
Deputy General Su's wife also rushed over and wiped her son's wound with a handkerchief.
Zhu Mingqing had already known what Su Deming had done through the broadcast of the little world spirit. He had clearly bumped into Luo Xiao himself, but he insisted on framing Luo Xiao in public.
Despicable behavior!
He is worthy of being the biological son of Deputy General Su and his wife.
She pulled Luo Xiao and turned around to return to her original position, but was blocked by Lieutenant General Su.
His eyes were gloomy: "Madam Ming, don't you deserve an explanation from me?"
Zhu Mingqing sneered, his eyes equally cold: "An explanation? I think Lieutenant General Su needs to give an explanation to the old man of the Su family more, and of course to the eldest brother who was deceived by you!"
Hearing this, Deputy General Su's wife felt something was wrong, but before she could stop him——
"I wonder how they would feel if they knew that their most trusted relative secretly hid all of the Su family's hundreds of thousands of acres of grain!"
Deputy General Su's body stiffened, and he looked at Madam Ming in disbelief. How did she know?
"What's going on?"
Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Mr. He.
Looking at the man next to him, he immediately saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Prince Huai waved his hand to ask everyone to stand up. He glanced around and saw Madam Ming, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The guard beside him whispered a few words in his ear. Prince Huai's eyes darkened as he glanced at Lieutenant General Su.
Because of Prince Huai's arrival and Zhu Mingqing's words just now, Deputy General Su really didn't dare to act rashly for a moment.
As for Su Deming, who was splashed all over, he was directly sent out of the house.
The banquet went on as normal and the atmosphere returned to normal in an instant.
But Deputy General Su was already in a panic, especially when he asked to leave first, but was stopped by the prince.
One's heart becomes even more uneasy.
When the banquet was over, nothing happened. Deputy General Su was still worried. Just as he and his wife were about to step out of the palace gate, they were stopped.
