Su Feiling frowned as she looked at Madam Zhong, without offering a single explanation.
What did she say?
Exposing the tung oil incident proves that she hired those beggars to humiliate Su Xuening. Xuan Yuan Yu was also present at the time. If Xuan Yuan Yu knew the truth about the dilapidated temple that day, how could she still have a chance to become the Third Prince's consort?
Moreover, these are all just her speculations; she has no concrete evidence whatsoever, while Su Xuening has irrefutable evidence for every single point. Even if she were to say these things, no one would believe her. At the time, the evidence was overwhelming, and even Su Linyuan's first words upon waking up were irrefutable proof. There was no way to refute it; the more she said, the more wrong she would become!
Seeing that Su Feiling remained silent, Zhong grabbed her arm in a fit of rage and shook it violently: "You've ruined your elder brother's life!"
Suddenly, Madam Zhong seemed to go mad again, shouting at Su Xuening with a flushed face, "Su Xuening, I'm going to report you to the Emperor! You set the fire at Jingxue Pavilion yourself, and you're the one who harmed our Yuan'er!"
Instead of being afraid, Su Xuening raised her eyebrows smugly: "Do you think the Emperor will believe you? If he really does, not only will Su Linyuan be tattooed and exiled, but your precious eldest daughter won't just be forced to shave her head and become a nun. Trying to slander someone's innocence will also result in tattooing and exile. You can't prove your son didn't take liberties with me, but you can prove your daughter tried to slander me. I was already dissatisfied with Su Yuxin as a scapegoat, so this is fine. Let your precious son and daughter be tattooed and exiled together; at least they'll have company on the way!"
Every word Su Xuening uttered terrified Zhong Shi: "Su Xuening, the most poisonous heart is that of a woman! How could you be so vicious!"
"Me, vicious?" Su Xuening laughed in anger, walking step by step to Zhong Shi and Su Feiling, looking down at them with her head down: "Am I as vicious as you two mother and daughter? This Yong'an Marquis's mansion originally belonged to our eldest branch. It's one thing for you to usurp our place, but you also plotted to harm me and Yun'an every day, and my mother was also made to disappear by you, wasn't she? Heaven is watching what you've done, and now you're getting this retribution. It's all your own doing!"
Zhong was furious: "You bitch, you've harmed us like this, I won't let you get away with this!"
Undeterred, Su Xuening shouted, "Then come on! I, Su Xuening, will fight you to the end. I want to see if Heaven has eyes and will let you vipers go unpunished forever!"
Zhong stared intently at Su Xuening, wanting her to pay the price, but she was helpless.
Filled with rage that had nowhere to go, Zhong suddenly raised her hands and grabbed Su Xuening's neck, yelling, "I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing Zhong's madness, Su Xuening immediately took a step back.
Zhong missed her target and fell to the ground.
When Madam Zhong missed, she flew into a rage and shouted at the maids and servants around her, "Are you all dead? What are you standing there for? Beat her to death!"
At Zhong's command, the maids and servants of the second branch finally came to their senses and immediately swarmed towards Su Xuening.
"Sister!" Su Yun'an, who had just returned from escorting Tang Shi, rushed forward without thinking to protect Su Xuening when she saw the scene, but Su Xuening pulled her behind her.
"Who dares to touch me!" Su Xuening shouted fiercely while protecting Su Yun'an. Her icy and fierce eyes frightened all the maids and servants who rushed up and made them freeze in place.
At the same time, the maids and servants of the eldest son's family all picked up their weapons and stood guard on either side of Su Xuening and Su Yun'an.
Although the eldest branch had fewer people, everyone was armed with weapons, including brooms, copper basins, and buckets. None of them were empty-handed, and they all looked ready to fight to the death, which once again frightened the maids and servants of the second branch.
Su Xuening sharply scanned the maids and servants of the second branch of the family and said sternly, "How dare you! This is the General's Mansion, my territory. You are now trespassing. According to the strict laws of Dongchu, trespassers will be punished by flogging! Those who injure their master will be beheaded! If you dare to touch a single hair on my head today, I will make sure your heads roll!"
Su Xuening's powerful words once again frightened the maids and servants of the second household. They looked at each other, not daring to move forward even an inch, and some even retreated in fear.
Stopping the maids and servants of the second branch of the family, Su Xuening's sharp gaze swept over Su Renyi, Madam Zhong, and Su Feiling, the mistresses of the second branch: "And you, this is the General's Mansion now, not your Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. For the sake of our shared ancestry, I'll give you two days to move. Also, before you move, leave behind everything belonging to my General's Mansion, and make sure you pay all the compensation you owe. From now on, the eldest branch of the Su family and the second branch of the Su family will have no further connection!"
Su Renyi looked at Su Xuening, whose sharpness was as keen as a weapon, his dark eyes filled with anger and hatred.
He really underestimated his niece; she had truly outmaneuvered him this time.
However, there's plenty of time; they can settle today's score later.
"Let's go!" Su Renyi angrily flung his sleeves and left Jingxue Pavilion.
The concubines and illegitimate children of the second wife all followed Su Renyi happily.
"Su Xuening, you will surely die a horrible death!" Zhong roared, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at Su Xuening. However, after shouting for so long, her voice was hoarse and she had lost her momentum.
"Good people live long lives! Don't worry, I'll definitely live to be a hundred!" Su Xuening scolded Zhong Shi, then smiled wickedly: "Second Aunt, instead of worrying about me, you should think more about your own affairs. Without the legitimate son as your backer, which of my second uncle's concubines and illegitimate sons will you choose to support?"
Su Xuening's words successfully changed Zhong's expression.
Seeing that all the concubines had followed Su Renyi, Madam Zhong lost all interest in fighting with Su Xuening and hurriedly went after Su Renyi.
Yuan'er is still imprisoned in the imperial prison. Their most important task is to find a way to rescue Yuan'er. They can't let the Marquis be seduced by those vixens.
Su Feiling walked up to Su Xuening and stood beside her: "You win this time, but I definitely won't lose next time!"
Su Xuening didn't say anything harsh, but glanced coolly at her clothes and the white jade bracelet on her wrist: "Remember to return the bracelet to me, and pay for the fabric!"
Su Feiling's face turned green with anger. She wanted to tear her clothes to shreds and smash the bracelet on her wrist, but she couldn't!
Su Feiling glared at Su Xuening with a sinister look, then stormed off.
The masters of the second branch had all run away, and the maids and servants of the second branch also wanted to leave in a sorry state.
Looking at the large group of servants, Su Xuening said calmly, "I can keep the masters of the second branch of the Su family for two more days because of our shared ancestor, but you have no right to do so. I'll give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to pack your things and get out of my General's Mansion!"
