Chapter 181: The Third Son-in-law of the Fan Family
Ning Yu looked at Su Shengsheng who was silent, walked into the store, and shook her head at Qing Ning who looked puzzled.
But this time, before it was even night, less than half an hour later, Su Shengsheng was hurriedly found by Yun Xiang and Yun Yi.
The Fan and Feng families knew that they were returning home today.
So as soon as the men of the Su family went to the mine and Xie Xuan went to the camp, he immediately brought people to the door.
In front of the Su Mansion, the crowd was so dense that no one could get in.
Su Shengsheng only heard Feng's loud cries, "Chang'er, you're gone like this, how can I live like this?"
At first, the people cursed her and caused trouble.
But this time, I don’t know what Feng’s plan is, and they all show weakness.
The singing did not begin until the Su family was forced to come out.
"Miss Su Si, I know you're kind and sweet, and you didn't abort my brother's child. But since you're still unmarried, how can this child survive in the Su family with you? It would be better to fulfill my mother's wish, so that she can have something to rely on and comfort her. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
The Feng family had suffered several defeats and this time they knew they were being framed, so they did not stand on their high ground to question the Su family.
The one who spoke this time was the eldest daughter of the Fan family, who was married far away and had just returned today after receiving the news of the death.
The men of the Su family had just gone to the mine, and only Su Jingshan was left.
He had always been indifferent to worldly affairs and had no idea about the twists and turns between women, so he found it irritating, but he didn't know why.
"Stop making trouble here and leave immediately, or I'll report you to the police."
He had said this many times, but it had no effect at all. Instead, it gave the second daughter of the Feng family more opportunities.
"How can we be so unreasonable? My mother is only here to beg, to ask Old Master Su, who has served the people and the country, to give her some comfort for a mother who has lost her son."
Old Master Su did not come out this time. Su Jingshan arranged for someone to ask the two old men to stay in the house and not come out.
Su Jingshan thought he could handle it, but this time three sons-in-law came to the Fan family, all of whom held high official positions.
The eldest son-in-law is the Chief of the Criminal Court, in charge of local prisons.
His words were quite cunning, and no one could find any fault with him.
Even if the county magistrate was invited, he would not be able to deal with them.
The second son-in-law is the director of the Tea and Salt Bureau, in charge of tea and salt affairs.
This was a lucrative job. Not only were many merchants rushing to curry favor with him, but his salt permits could also be withheld at will, making it impossible for them to buy salt.
In other words, it is possible to prevent a county from selling salt.
The third son-in-law was the county supervisor of a neighboring state and the deputy prefect, in charge of grain transportation and other matters.
It is a natural barrier leading to various places and a necessary place for transporting food.
Not to mention, now that it is the end of the year, prices of various commodities are skyrocketing.
In previous years, the people at Tianqianguan were not loved by their parents, and the prices were ridiculously high.
For example, right now, the crops are about to be harvested.
Although the people of Tianqianguan don't have to worry about not being able to sell their goods, this is still where they make a living.
If the Su family is controlled by others, I am afraid they will have no way to survive.
These three people may seem simple, but once they join forces, not only will Magistrate Sang have a headache, but even the prince with three fiefdoms will have the same problem.
The reason why the Feng family was so confident this time was that they were aware that Xie Xuan had rejected the emperor's face in person.
Although Xie Xuan took advantage of the situation for the time being, there will definitely be an explanation once the eunuch rushes back to the imperial capital.
They took advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble at the Su family.
Even if the emperor can't do anything to Xie Xuan at that time, he probably won't punish them either.
A single move can affect the whole body.
Feng Bao knew that even if the emperor would not do anything to Xie Xuan, he would not have no reaction at all.
So, it would be better for them to start a fight among themselves.
Even though several of his grandsons-in-law failed in their duties, he had been the Imperial Censor of Salt for many years and still had some connections that could be used.
Therefore, Feng Bao was not there because he had gone to clear the way in advance.
Therefore, the three sons-in-law of the Fan family could come so confidently and use threats and inducements.
The Sang County Magistrate knew that the Su family was in trouble, but he did not dare to show up.
The merchants are under great pressure and dare not speak out.
Although he was afraid of Xie Xuan, he couldn't protect the Su family all the time, right?
Therefore, as soon as Xie Xuan arrived at the camp, they appeared and attacked.
At first, Jiao held her daughter down and didn't let her go out.
But how could they bear such shameless words?
Su Yuanling suffered a disaster and quickly became thinner.
At this time, she was already more than a month pregnant and was experiencing fertility symptoms. She had not been able to eat for several days.
At this moment, her face turned pale and she was shaking with anger.
Su Yuanling wanted to question them, but the streets were heavily congested and the foul air made it difficult for her to stop feeling nauseous.
When Mrs. Feng saw this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. "I know that the Fourth Young Lady is still taking pregnancy-maintaining medicine every day. I'm sure she's reluctant to give up this child. But since you're still unmarried, why don't you give it to me?"
Jiao was so angry that her face turned blue. "Don't even think about it, you shameless people, how long do you want to harass us?"
The sarcasm in the eyes of several people made Jiao even more angry.
She looked around, found a broom, and went to hit them, "Get out of here, I'm going to beat you to death with your dirty mouths."
She has always been a fierce person, but Jiao had never said such dirty words before.
It was because the Su family was a scholarly family and everyone was polite in their interactions, so there was no need for her to make a scene.
But the Feng family has not repented so far and even dares to come to her house, saying bad things. How can she, as a mother, tolerate this?
But the Feng family's plan failed, and Liu immediately knelt down in front of Jiao, shocking everyone on the street.
If an elder kneels down to a younger person, it is a curse that will shorten the person's life.
This time, the Feng family decided to snatch the baby in Su Yuanling's belly back.
Fan Shan also lost his son in middle age and didn't want his grandchildren to be left alone and be criticized for the rest of his life.
Only then did he tolerate Feng coming here to make trouble again.
"It's said that a marriage lasts a hundred days of grace. Fourth Miss and my brother have a past relationship, and you can't bear to see him left without anyone to pay homage to him in the future, right?"
The third daughter of the Fan family sneered at the stunned Jiao, "You can't make my elderly grandmother beg you on her knees, can you?"
The onlookers all had gloomy expressions.
The Feng family came well prepared, using both soft and hard tactics, but they were extremely vicious.
"Okay, I will kowtow to you and beg Miss Fourth to show mercy."
Even though Liu's kowtow caused a big uproar, it was still a dispute between the two families.
Even if the news reached the court, nothing more could be said.
But just as Liu kowtowed, when she looked up again, it was Su Shengsheng.
She gently protected Jiao, who was holding a broom, with an angry look on her face but was silenced, behind her.
Seeing their daughter come back, Su Jingshan and Li both breathed a sigh of relief.
The Fan and Feng families changed their expressions.
"Why are you here?" Feng's face suddenly turned ugly, and she stretched out her hand to help her mother up.
Su Shengsheng sneered, "Now that Lord Feng has no official position, can this princess not accept Liu's greeting?"
Seeing Su Shengsheng's signal, Bao Er strode forward and subdued Liu with the ruler in his hand.
Seeing this, Fan Shan's three sons-in-law immediately shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"
Su Shengsheng looked at the three of them. "I'm young, but I don't know what etiquette you three should follow when you see me, the princess."
