Xu Susu stood up and approached the old lady, saying with a half-smile: "Grandma, don't be angry. No matter what, my husband and I still want to thank you for bringing us together. Without your pressure, Lan Zheng and I wouldn't be getting married so soon."
"You can't say we're playing tricks on you. You didn't even ask if we'd known each other and loved each other a long time ago. If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have bothered to say anything."
"Besides, if you didn't have ulterior motives and wanted to use me to retaliate against Lan Zheng, neither of us would have taken advantage of your plan."
The old lady tried hard to break free from Xu Susu's hand, but Susu refused to let go, so she couldn't.
"Xu Susu, let me go!"
Xu Susu smiled and let go of the old lady's hand. When the old lady wanted to slap her again, she had already dodged.
"Grandma, Lan Zheng and I have to go back to the other garden, so we can't accompany you. You should take care of yourself."
Xu Susu said this and went upstairs in a happy mood.
The old lady pointed at her and wanted to curse, but she couldn't.
Even if she wanted to fight, she was too old to be a match for Xu Susu.
The old lady, who had been strong all her life, would never have dreamed that she would make a mistake.
Xu Susu deceived her badly.
In fact, the old lady was too eager to take revenge on her eldest grandson and ignored his hatred for her.
Lan Zheng hated her so much, how could he agree to marry Xu Susu just because she forced him?
If he didn't like Xu Susu, even if she died in front of Lan Zheng, Lan Zheng wouldn't shed a tear. He might even be so happy that he would set off firecrackers to celebrate.
"Madam, the young master and the young mistress are back. Do you need more food?"
The housekeeper came in and asked the old lady respectfully.
Seeing that the old lady looked very unhappy, the housekeeper asked with concern: "Old lady, are you okay?"
The old lady grabbed the armrest of the sofa, sat down slowly, and said weakly, "No need to add more food, they will leave soon. Where is the old master? Go find him and ask him to come back."
Now, the only person she can trust is her husband.
The old lady understood that the situation was hopeless and it was impossible for her to help her two younger sons turn the situation around as they had already been sentenced to suspended death sentences. She wanted to take revenge on her eldest son's family but she no longer had the ability to do so. Her self-righteous revenge ended up helping Lan Zheng and Xu Susu.
Just thinking about this made the old lady feel as disgusted as if her mouth was stuffed with flies.
"Young Master and Young Madam just returned. Are they leaving again?"
The master and his wife have gone out to travel around the world.
He left a message that the young master would be the head of the family from now on.
The young lady, whom they were not familiar with, became the hostess of the manor.
The housekeeper thought that since the new head of the family had just returned and was a new official, he would have to stay in the manor for a while and then entertain all the celebrities in Wangcheng. This was what every head of the family would do.
The old lady didn't speak.
She was so angry that she couldn't speak.
The housekeeper knew that the old lady had never liked the young master. It should be said that the young master had resented the old lady since he was old enough to understand. The old lady had once thought about easing the relationship between the two, after all, he was the eldest grandson.
But the old lady wanted to ease the relationship with the young master, while at the same time allowing everyone to bully the wife of the head of the family. Which son could watch others bully his own mother and remain indifferent?
This grandmother-in-law and granddaughter have come to this point today.
The old lady was thinking about her many grandchildren and didn't care how the young master treated her.
I never thought that I would end up like this today.
"Madam, before the Patriarch left, he held a press conference to announce that after he and his wife left, the Young Master would take over as Patriarch of the Lan Family. From now on, the Young Master will be the head of this family. Please stop opposing the Young Master."
The housekeeper sighed, "Old Madam, you and the old master are both old. You can't count on the Second and Third Masters anymore. Those young masters and young ladies are all struggling to protect themselves now. Who else can you rely on?"
When the old lady heard what the housekeeper said, she burst into tears.
She has been strong and respected all her life. How did she end up like this today?
"There's no turning back for me."
The old lady wiped her tears and said, "There is no turning back."
The housekeeper looked up at the second floor and lowered his voice to persuade: "Old Madam, as long as you behave yourself in the future and don't do anything that will make the young master angry, you and the old patriarch will still be able to live a good life."
The young master resents the old lady, but he will not take the initiative to do anything to her.
Unless the old lady commits suicide herself.
"Go and call the old master back."
The old lady felt it was humiliating to cry and show regret in front of the butler, even though the butler had worked at the manor all his life.
The butler hummed.
He turned around and sent someone to look for the old patriarch.
Lan Zheng and his wife actually knew everything that happened downstairs.
Su Su half-lay on the bed and asked her husband, "Are you really going to live in the other garden?"
"You want to live with that old woman?"
"There are no young people in the family. If something happens to the old lady, I'm afraid both my husband and I will be labeled as unfilial."
Lan Zheng sneered, "This kind of thing is not our business. Just wait, she'll call and tell the other two families to move back in. She's old, and she's really playing tricks on us. If she tells the other two families to move back in, what can we do to her?"
In Xu Susu's words, the old lady was already old and had one foot in the grave. If something really happened to her, others would definitely accuse them of being unfilial, even if everyone in Wangcheng knew what the old lady had done.
But there are too many people who like to use moral kidnapping.
Lan Zheng doesn't care what others think of him, he just doesn't want his beloved wife to be blamed.
"She wants the second and third wives to move back in. Just let her do that and let them take care of her. She's always been partial to them her whole life."
"Dad finally divided the family business and separated them out."
Lan Zheng smiled and said, "This manor is no longer of any significance to our family. All our valuables have been moved to the other garden. Others know that we all live there, so this place will gradually become neglected."
Even the people who were guarding this manor were transferred to the other garden by his father.
This manor, which once represented orthodoxy, is losing its luster bit by bit.
"That's right. Let's take some time to come back and visit the two elders in the future."
Xu Susu has no feelings for this manor. She follows her husband and lives wherever Lan Zheng lives.
"From now on, we will come back every day to let grandma see how happy we are."
Lan Zheng felt that the couple only needed to show their affection in front of the old lady every day to make her angry to death.
Su Su said to him, "With your personality, can you show off your affection every day? If I ask you to say something gentle and sweet, you'll need to practice for a few days before you can say it properly."
Lan Zheng: “…”
