Chapter 68: Stay out of the Earl's Mansion
Su Nuobai looked at the two of them innocently: "Father and mother, are you missing your daughter too much? Your daughter has just been away from home for a day, and you are so haggard?"
"Now that my daughter is back, you don't have to miss me anymore. Aren't you happy?"
Su Deyi almost couldn't help but throw the teacup in his hand at her.
Cai's face was extremely ugly. Is this damn girl really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Why can she get away with it every time?
Su Deyi looked at the silly and cute Su Nuobai, and his anger was a little uncontrollable: "Since you are back, stay in the courtyard and go to the palace banquet with your mother in a few days."
Su Nuobai nodded obediently and agreed: "Fourth sister, fifth sister and sixth sister will go too?"
Su Deyi and Cai felt as if several knives were stabbing into their hearts.
"They are sick." Cai said, suppressing the anger on her face.
Su Nuobai said "oh", saluted and walked out.
Cai looked at Su Deyi and said, "Master, is there really no way to send her away?"
Su Deyi was having a headache: "How do I send it now?"
Cai felt a headache. There were only a few daughters of marriageable age. Strictly speaking, Su Nuobai was still a little short of one.
But now his legitimate daughter and two concubine daughters are all ruined. He can't have none of them attend the palace banquet!
Su Deyi's eyes were dark and unclear: "Of the three daughters sent to the Earl's Mansion, only one can come back."
When Cai heard his complaints, she felt aggrieved. Wasn't it you who agreed to it in the first place?
"Didn't Mingyue also get folded in?"
Su Deyi slammed the table and stood up: "From now on, don't get involved with the Earl's Mansion."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
When Mrs. Cai saw him leave, she couldn't stop crying. She and Nanny Zhang had been very unlucky recently. When she broke her arm, he didn't even say a word of comfort.
Now that something has happened, all the blame has been put on her. The more she thinks about it, the more aggrieved she feels.
Su Nuobai didn't care about the two people behind her and returned to Qinxin Garden humming a little tune.
"Auntie, Aunt Wei, Feng Zhi, I'm back!"
When Aunt Luo heard her voice, she quickly ran out of the room: "Seventh Miss, why are you back?"
Su Nuobai walked up to her and said, "You'll come back naturally once you learn it."
Aunt Luo saw that she was fine, and the big stone in her heart fell: "Have you had breakfast? I asked Wei Ma to make it for you."
Su Nuobai thought of the appointment with Uncle Jia: "I have eaten. Auntie, I am a little tired, I will go back and rest for a while."
Aunt Luo's face was full of heartache: "Go."
Feng Zhi followed her back to the room and looked her up and down: "Miss, are you okay?"
"What could be the problem? I'm going to set up a stall. Do you want to come?" Su Nuobai put out his paper figurine.
The paper figure looked at the familiar environment and said, "Finally, I don't have to learn all that stuff anymore. It was so tiring."
Su Nuobai ignored her and asked her to take his place. He and Feng Zhi quietly left the Su Mansion.
When Uncle Jia saw the two of them, he quickly handed them the still warm scallion pancake in his arms.
Su Nuobai looked at the scallion pancakes in her hand, which were much larger than yesterday: "Why are there so many?"
Grandpa Jia said with a smile: "There were really no mosquitoes biting us last night. We had a rare good night's sleep."
He pointed to the scallion pancake in her hand and said, "This is a thank-you gift my wife asked me to bring you."
Su Nuobai smiled and opened the oil paper package. Inside were ten scallion pancakes filled with thick ingredients. "Thank you for me, Auntie. I won't be polite."
Uncle Jia smiled and waved his hands: "What are you thanking me for? Eat it while it's hot."
Su Nuobai gave Feng Zhi a piece: "Try it, it tastes delicious. I ate a piece yesterday."
Feng Zhi also took a piece and took a bite: "It tastes really good."
Su Nuobai was eating scallion pancakes when she felt a shadow looming in front of her.
She looked up and saw a man in gorgeous clothes, with a lot of servants following him, standing in front of her stall in a menacing manner.
"What did you say to my wife yesterday?"
Su Nuobai looked at him in confusion: "Your wife?"
"Duan Yuhan." The man said gritting his teeth.
Su Nuobai understood and stood up, looking at the man in front of him with his eyes wide open: "Your wife came to me for fortune-telling, I just said what I had to say."
"You liar, it's you who is causing trouble between us. Now my wife wants to divorce me, and it's all because of you." Niu Can looked at him angrily.
Su Nuobai handed the uneaten scallion pancake to Feng Zhi: "Don't you know what you did?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Su Nuobai looked at Niu Can's face: protruding eyes, sharp cheekbones, strong, domineering and merciless.
The bridge of the nose is knotted and the tip of the nose is hooked. People with this condition often lie and may even frame others.
"Are you going to let me tell you what you did in front of so many people?"
Niu Can naturally didn't believe what she said: "Don't bluff me, if you don't give me an explanation today, I will report you to the police and arrest you, the liar."
Su Nuobai looked at him and said, "You come from a farming family. Your father passed away when you were ten years old. You are the eldest son in the family, with a younger brother and a younger sister. You are quite talented in studying."
"Your family has put all their efforts into supporting your education. You've done well, and after ten years of hard work, you've even passed the imperial examination and achieved the rank of Jinshi."
"At the end, you need to wait for the court to grant you an official position. The best position you can get is as a county magistrate. Naturally, you are unwilling to accept this, so you have your eyes on the influence of your wife's family."
"You worked hard and finally got married to your wife. With the support of your wife's family, you stayed in the capital and became a Right Censor. Although it was only a ninth-rank official, it allowed you to stay in Shengjing smoothly."
"You Sijian's position isn't high, but he's still helping the Crown Prince. You've exploited your position to force the sale of fertile land."
Niu Can's forehead was already covered in sweat when he heard this: "You, stop talking nonsense, these are just your fabrications."
Su Nuobai looked at him and said, "Whether it's a fabrication or not, you know it well in your heart. Your brother has been in a lot of trouble in his hometown in the past few years."
"They've been seizing women, taking over the people's fertile land, and bullying the villagers all under your banner. And your sister, too, has been disrespecting her parents-in-law and bullying her sisters-in-law under your banner."
Niu Can was furious: "What are you still standing there for? Hit me!"
Su Nuobai looked at the person rushing towards her, and before she could make a move, Feng Zhi beside her moved first.
She stood behind Feng Zhi, eating a piece of cake while saying, "Forget to tell Lord Niu that you will be imprisoned today."
Niu Can was furious as he watched the servant being beaten: "You are full of shit. I think you will be the one to go to jail today."
At this time, a group of yamen runners came over. He saw her and shouted, "There is a liar here. Hurry up and take her back."
After the yamen runners came over, the crowd dispersed to both sides: "Niu Can, you made it easier for us to find you. Take him away."
Niu Can saw the yamen runners coming to arrest him and immediately panicked: "No, she is the liar, not me."
