Chapter 111: Evil
Su Chenyu and Li Liyanqing had long seen through the old lady's true face, so they didn't react much when she said these disgusting words.
At this moment, Yao suddenly opened her eyes wide, looking at the old lady with disbelief. She had only guessed before, but until this moment, she was truly sure that the old lady had never given up on the medicine store.
She even wondered in her heart whether all the rumors about the Yao family were instigated by the old lady.
"Madam, this is really a bit annoying. I have already handed over the title deed of the medicine shop to the owner. You don't need to worry about the medicine shop anymore."
The old lady had prepared a lot of words, but they were useless in front of Su Chenyu. She could get it from Li Yanqing Pharmacy, but not from Su Chenyu.
"Master, taking over the manor is not a trivial matter. You have never done this before. How about I send someone to help?" The old lady looked kind and considerate, but she actually found it difficult to let go of the medicine shop.
Su Chenyu asked back, "Madam, do you think that as the Lord of Dayu, I can't even manage a manor?"
The old lady was choked: "That's not what I meant."
"If that's not what you meant, then don't say anything, lest the Lord think that's what you meant."
Su Chenyu didn't give her any face at all, which made the old lady angry, but there was nothing she could do.
"The old lady specially invited us here today. Could it be just for the medicine store?" Su Chenyu asked.
The old lady glanced at Yao, and Yao explained, "Master, it will be the old lady's birthday in a month. I asked you to come here today mainly to discuss what to do for this birthday."
"Hasn't it been you, the Second Madam, who has been in charge of all the trivial matters in the Li Mansion? Why are you asking us about the Old Madam's birthday banquet? We should do what we usually do today."
Su Chenyu saw through the old lady's thoughts. She just wanted to use her name to hold a grand birthday party. Su Chenyu would not fulfill her wish.
"This birthday banquet is the first happy event after the mistress married into the Lili Mansion. I was thinking that it should be a little different from the usual ones, otherwise it would be laughed at by outsiders."
Su Chenyu looked at the old lady leaning on the couch: "Second Madam, this is the old lady's birthday. She is right here. Why do you need to pass on the message? Can't you just tell us directly?"
Listening to Su Chenyu's words, Yao felt even more resentful towards the old lady. The old lady would never step forward herself in such an offensive situation, which would only make things difficult for herself.
Even Yao Shi didn't realize that her mentality had changed a long time ago, and now she was dissatisfied with the old lady. But facing the old lady, she could only endure it.
Seeing that Su Chenyu did not respond to Yao's words, the old lady could only speak up herself: "Master, I originally thought that it would be fine as usual, but now that you have entered the Li Mansion, naturally you can no longer do the same as before. You don't need to do the birthday banquet yourself, you just need to show some extra thought. What do you think?"
This means that Su Chenyu is asked to pay for her birthday party. This must be a money-obsessed thing, right?
Su Chenyu smiled and said, "Madam, you are joking. The most important thing about a birthday is naturally the care of the younger generations. As long as the whole family is there, it will be fine. Besides, the Yao family is now caught in a whirlpool, and you, Madam, are also from the Yao family. If you hold a big birthday banquet at this time, I am afraid it will only arouse suspicion.
Besides, the second wife doesn’t even dare to go out now. If outsiders are invited to the birthday party, how can you let the second wife face them?"
Su Chenyu gave three reasons, and the old lady couldn't refute any of them. She didn't expect Su Chenyu to be such a stingy person who was unwilling to pay for her birthday.
"Of course, on the old lady's birthday, the master will certainly prepare a great gift for you in advance."
The old lady didn't believe that Su Chenyu would be so kind, so she could only say, "Then I would like to thank you in advance."
