"Is this General Su's stepmother? Is she saying that General Su kicked her out of the house?"
"No way? General Su is a great hero who protects our country, how could he do such a thing?"
“That really is the old lady of the Su family. I used to work for the Su family. She is General Su’s legitimate legal mother. She used to enjoy a life of luxury in the mansion. How come she has been kicked out now!”
"Oh dear! My life is so miserable! My master passed away early, and I've worked so hard for the Su family my whole life, only to be kicked out of the house by my unfilial son in my old age! Waaah..."
As more and more people gathered around, and as they began to subtly accuse Su Zhen, Madam Su cried even harder.
Su Yu, observing the situation from the side, also felt that it was becoming increasingly advantageous for them.
So he couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.
"Brother, no matter how wrong we are, Mother is still your legal mother in name only, and Father's wife! Now that she's so old, if you kick us out, Father in heaven will be heartbroken!"
"Waaah... Uncle, we really know we were wrong. Who can be without fault in this world? Look how old Grandmother is, please let her go home!"
Su Wanshi also started crying, tears streaming down her face.
Of the four of them, the two women were crying, and the two men were kneeling on the ground apologizing and begging for forgiveness. To onlookers, they seemed pitiful, while Su Zhen appeared to be the heartless one.
Su Yu was secretly pleased with himself, thinking to himself that Wan Shi was really smart!
With so many people watching them, and given that my older brother values his reputation and image, he should be able to take them in, right?
Once they get in, everything will be much easier.
But to his surprise, at that very moment, Su Liluo and the Crown Prince's sedan chair landed at the door.
"Hey, what's going on here? Who's wailing at the door?"
Su Liluo exclaimed in surprise, then quickly walked through the crowd to the entrance of the Su residence.
Su Yu and the others panicked when they saw Su Liluo appear.
"Princess..."
He called out softly, then bowed respectfully to her.
He didn't want her to use any etiquette against him at this time.
Upon hearing that it was the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, the others also bowed in greeting.
"Is this old lady dying? Otherwise, why are you all crying so bitterly? Wait a minute, even if she's dying, you shouldn't be crying here. Have you forgotten that you forced my father to sign the documents for dividing the family property?"
Su Liluo then glanced at the disheveled Old Madam Su sitting on the ground and deliberately asked.
Old Madam Su was filled with rage.
Ptooey!
She's the one who's dead!
That little bitch didn't say anything nice from the moment she arrived; she even cursed herself to die!
She wanted to yell back, but Su Wanshi stopped her.
"Your Highness, you've misunderstood. We're the ones apologizing to our eldest uncle. Our request to separate our rooms and the family was a moment of confusion. Now that our grandmother is getting old, she still wants to go back to her own home."
Su Wanshi explained to Su Liluo in a gentle voice.
There's no other way; she's now inferior to me, so I have to act subservient and try to please her first.
Once she succeeds, she'll get her revenge for these humiliations.
"Go home? What home do you have? Is this Su residence your home?"
Su Liluo showed them no respect whatsoever, and mocked them.
"Before my father returned victorious from the war, you squandered all the property left by the Su family's ancestors and the dowry left by my grandmother. This house was bought by my father after he returned. What does it have to do with you?"
Besides, when my father was at home, Old Madam Su never supported him for a single day. She even used my father and mother's dowry to spend on herself and her family. Now she has the nerve to expect my father to support her?"
"What? This Old Madam Su isn't General Su's biological mother? I always thought she was. If she's not his biological mother, then it's normal that he didn't raise her!"
"Yes, didn't you hear? This old lady Su even spent all of General Su's mother's dowry! Good heavens, where does she have the nerve? Even a husband wouldn't dare spend his wife's dowry, how can a second wife have the audacity?"
"Exactly, exactly! And they treated General Su badly. They even asked to separate the family, and now they're shamelessly coming back. They're truly shameless, hahaha..."
Many people began to laugh at Su Liluo's words.
They didn't know that Madam Su was General Su's stepmother, and Su Zhen was not good with words, which led to the misunderstanding.
Su Liluo is no longer afraid to bring up these private matters, because if she doesn't, others will feel guilty.
As for the Su family's reputation, the Su family in the past had no face at all!
Her grandfather was able to elevate a concubine to the status of a legal wife, so he had to bear the ridicule that followed. As for the current Su family, it was Su Zhen who revitalized it, and it had nothing to do with the second branch of the Su family.
Su Yu and the others felt their faces burning with embarrassment when they saw everyone mocking them like that.
The reason they dared to come back and cause trouble was because they knew Su Zhen was bad at talking and didn't know how to express himself, and that others didn't know about their family's relationship.
But who could have imagined that the already married Crown Princess would return, and that they would run into her?
"Your Highness, your grandmother is old and has raised you for so many years. Can't you have a little pity for her? Are you only satisfied when your grandmother is sleeping on the streets?"
Su Wanshi looked at Su Liluo with resentment in her eyes.
Since they couldn't morally blackmail Su Zhen, they would blackmail the Crown Princess. After all, the Crown Princess did grow up under the protection of their second wife's family.
But why would Su Liluo fall for her act?
Su Liluo sneered, "Su Wanshi, have you lost your mind lately? I haven't even investigated your second wife's crime of switching the child, and you're already thinking about making me pay you a price?"
If it weren't for Old Madam Su, I would probably have grown up in glory as General Su's legitimate daughter. But you replaced me and made me work like a slave in the second wife's household.
What, you think breathing freely is bad? Sigh, that's true. Now you have nowhere to go, so I'll do you a favor and sentence you!
At least when you're in jail, you'll have food and shelter, and you won't have to worry about sleeping on the streets! Oh, and maybe you'll even be neighbors with Su Xuanlang and the others!
What?
Should we send them to jail? Should we sue them?
Upon hearing this, Madam Su and Su Yu immediately panicked.
Previously, they thought that the matter of the switch had come to an end with Jiang Qinshu's death, and that was the end of it.
But now that Su Liluo brought it up again, they began to feel afraid.
They don't want to go to jail!
So, Old Madam Su was too frightened to throw a tantrum. She quickly stood up from the ground and pulled Su Yu and the others to walk outside.
"We don't need your help. We have our own places to go, so there's no need for the Crown Princess to worry about us!"
