Chapter 183 Expelled from the Marquis' Mansion



Jiang Caiping's face turned even gloomier when she heard this request. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, Master Xie. Since something went wrong in my mansion, I will definitely give you the promised dowry!"

Xie Qingxu smiled slightly when he heard this, "Okay, then I will wait for your sincerity."

When he turned around, his eyes swept across Su Jinyue. He wanted to say something but held back. He walked out of the marquis' mansion coldly with his entourage.

After Xie Qingxu walked away, Su Jingnian held Su Zhiyao's hand, his eyes full of affection: "Yao'er, look! As long as we are together, it doesn't matter whether the Marquis' Mansion protects us or not."

Su Zhiyao forced a smile but was secretly frightened. This situation of voluntary extermination of the clan was worse than she had expected!

She glanced at Su Jinyue out of the corner of her eye and found that Su Jinyue had a cold expression on his face.

Su Zhiyao felt that the matter was even worse and wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by her second brother.

Su Chengjiang also sighed helplessly, vaguely realizing that there was no room for maneuver after things had developed to this point.

He approached Jiang Caiping and whispered, "Mother, now that my eldest brother has made his decision, why not let him go... Instead, letting him stay in the mansion will only make things worse."

Jiang Caiping nodded weakly, her eyes full of disappointment.

The servants and retainers who were watching were also whispering to each other.

"Ah, the eldest young master is so infatuated that he is willing to leave the mansion for the second young lady!"

Just as everyone was whispering, Su Jinyue spoke calmly, breaking the depressing atmosphere.

"Since the matter has been decided, please ask Su Jingnian and Su Zhiyao to arrange their own places. The Marquis' Mansion does not need to worry about this matter anymore."

Su Jingnian turned around and stared at Su Jinyue fiercely, hatred burning in his eyes, "Su Jinyue, are you satisfied? You just want to see me in such a mess, right?"

Su Jinyue smiled slightly, her eyes cold, "Brother, this is your own choice. My second brother and I have advised you, have you listened to us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

The housekeeper came running over in a hurry, but was extremely happy, "Madam, that's great!"

"The Marquis has returned to the capital, and he brought the imperial edict with him!"

Jiang Caiping smiled and said, "Master is back. Is this the decree of pardon from His Majesty?"

The butler nodded happily, "Yes! The Marquis is leading his troops at the city gate. I guess he should be back soon."

Su Jinyue was not surprised at all when she heard this, because Xiao Duo had told her about the emperor's plan.

This time, the matter was about the cholera in Western Xinjiang, so it was normal to dispatch Su Yan back.

The servants started arguing again.

"But if the Marquis saw the situation of the eldest young master and the second young lady, he would probably be furious!"

A brave maid quietly asked, "Will the matter between the eldest young master and the second young lady be suppressed?"

Another person replied softly: "Now that the news has spread, no matter how powerful the Marquis is, I'm afraid he can't do anything to change the situation."

Just as everyone was talking about this, Jiang Caiping calmed down and said in a low voice: "Everyone, from now on, you are not allowed to talk about what happened today, otherwise, you will be punished by the family rules!"

Su Jinyue smiled slightly, looked around, and said calmly: "Mother is right, it's best for everyone to forget what happened today."

"However, I have something to remind you two. I'm afraid that father will not want to see you when he comes back. You should pack up your things and leave the house as soon as possible."

Su Jingnian glared at Su Jinyue and said bitterly, "Su Jinyue, just wait and see! If father comes back, he will definitely seek justice for us!"

Su Jinyue smiled indifferently and said, "Then we'll wait and see."

Su Jingnian whispered to comfort Su Zhiyao, "Yao'er, don't be afraid. I won't let anyone bully you."

The people next to him didn't say anything, but they felt very disappointed.

"My Lord, come into the mansion!"

The people in the mansion straightened up and bowed to welcome Su Yan's arrival.

Not long after, Ningyuan Hou Su Yan stepped into the court with a stern look and majesty between his brows.

He looked around, his eyes as sharp as blades, finally stopping on Su Jinyue, and then looking at Su Jingnian and Su Zhiyao who looked a little embarrassed.

Su Yan snorted coldly, his face livid, "You guys are capable of doing something that would ruin our family tradition?!"

Jiang Caiping stood up, her eyes red as she answered in a low voice: "My Lord, this matter is all because Jingnian didn't know the seriousness of the matter and insisted on marrying Su Zhiyao..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Yan was furious and shouted, "This is ridiculous! He is the eldest son. If you had raised him well, how could he become like this!"

At this moment, Su Jingnian seemed to have seized the opportunity. He stepped aside and knelt on his knees, "Father! I am sincere to Yaoer. I am willing to give up everything. I beg you to fulfill my wish!"

Su Yan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Su Jingnian and said, "You are really ruining your own future! Are you going to throw all your family skills away?! You are so disregarding the dignity of your family for a woman!"

Su Jingnian raised his head stubbornly, without any fear, "I have made up my mind. If father doesn't agree, I would rather die than yield!"

Just as everyone was holding their breath waiting for Su Yan to get angry, he suddenly smiled coldly and said indifferently: "In this case, as you wish, leave the house, and from now on the Su family will have nothing to do with you!"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Su Jingnian so much that he was stunned on the spot.

He thought his father loved him and would definitely not be willing to let him leave the house.

The servants around couldn't help but gasp and whisper.

"This... The Marquis really wants to sever ties with the Young Master?!"

"This is so heartless. The family tree was just broken. I guess the Marquis must be sad too..."

Seeing this, Jiang Caiping burst into tears, but never said another word for Su Jingnian.

Su Yan's expression was cold. He swept his eyes over everyone and said firmly, "Since he has decided to abandon the family, I have nothing to say."

Su Jinyue stepped forward slowly and added in a low voice: "Father, the affair between the two of them has spread throughout the capital, and the Xie family has also come to the Marquis' Mansion in person. If we don't deal with it, the Marquis' Mansion will no longer have face."

Su Yan was silent for a moment, and finally closed his eyes helplessly, waving his hand and said: "Jingnian, from today on, you are an outsider of the Su family."

Su Jingnian looked at Su Yan in confusion, his lips trembling, but he was speechless.

The courtyard was completely silent, and everyone lowered their heads, fearing that they would anger the Marquis.

Su Yan seemed tired, and said to Jiang Caiping: "Go back first, I'm tired. I'll leave their leaving the house to you."

Jiang Caiping responded, "Help the Marquis to go to the backyard to rest."

After the maids and servants took Su Yan away, Jiang Caiping said, "Jin Yue, I'm tired. I'll leave everything to you today."

Su Jinyue responded obediently, "Yes, mother, mother should go back and rest early."

"Um."

When they were the only ones left in the yard, Su Jinyue slowly walked to Su Jingnian with a deep, dark look in her eyes.

"Brother, since you have no way out, treat everything you choose well!"
