When the doctor said this, other members of the Su family also arrived.
The second master of the Su family, Su Chengyan, was kneeling beside the old lady's bed, and the third master, Su Chengxun, and his wife, Hai, were also standing by.
The younger generations also rushed over after hearing the news, including the second young master Su Yuanqing, the third young master Su Yuanyi, the second young lady Su Xiangling, and the fifth young lady Su Zhilan.
The atmosphere in the room was tense and oppressive, and everyone looked at Doctor Xu nervously. The last time they saw such a scene at home was when the old man passed away.
When Su Shunci heard Doctor Xu say that the old lady's condition was not serious, she subconsciously shrank her shoulders.
If my grandmother died like this, would it be considered that she was angered to death by me?
No matter how powerful a teenage girl is outside, she would feel panic when faced with such a matter of life and death, and would unconsciously lean towards Su Qingyu.
Su Qingyu squeezed her palm, as if to say that she was there. The silent comfort made Su Shunci feel a little relieved.
At this time, Doctor Xu was still negotiating with Su Chengye, saying that his medical skills were limited and he really couldn't prescribe a prescription that could bring the patient back to life.
As for the cause of the illness, it is nothing more than old age. Today, he was so angry and frightened that he suddenly developed an emergency.
Su Qingyu thought for a moment, then turned to Zhenzhu and said, "Go back and have Wenzhu take the Third Master's invitation and ask Dean Liu to come over."
She had no feelings for the old lady, but today's incident was somehow related to Su Shunci. She didn't want this little girl to be accused of angering her grandmother to death. Even if no one pursued the matter, she wouldn't be able to get away with it.
Besides, how could no one hold anyone accountable?
After Feicui turned and left, everyone retreated to the outer banquet hall. Only the Second Madam He and the Third Madam Hai remained inside, along with Nanny Yuan, who was by the old lady's side.
As soon as Su Chengye walked out, he raised his voice, pointed at Su Shunci and cursed, "You evil thing, look how angry you made your grandmother."
"If your grandmother gets into trouble because of you this time, you will not be able to escape the blame even if you die in front of her bed."
"How could I have given birth to a daughter like you, shameless, disobedient and unfilial?"
Su Shunci was filled with grievances, but she didn't say a word in reply. She was already terrified by the uncertainty of her grandmother's life or death, so how could she say anything else?
The second master, Su Chengyan, also echoed from the side, "If anything happens to mother, I will not forgive her."
Su Xiangling and Su Shunci had always been at odds, and the thought of how she would have to observe mourning if her grandmother had truly passed away only deepened her resentment towards Su Shunci, and she cursed, "What a jinx!"
On the other hand, the third wife's daughter, the fifth lady Su Zhilan, walked up to Su Shunci and said softly, "I believe that the fourth sister is not such a person."
Su Qingyu was so angry that she walked past Su Shunci and stood in front of Su Chengye.
"I want to ask, father, when your own daughter was humiliated, did you protect her?"
"When others wronged her, did you find out the truth for her?"
"Faced with my grandmother's pressure to marry, has my father ever truly considered my fourth sister's happiness?"
Su Qingyu spoke calmly, with a hint of sarcasm in her smile, and shook her head slightly.
"You didn't. You never thought about us in all these years."
"Not once has he stood in front of us like a father who stands tall and proud."
Even in her previous life, she tacitly allowed Cheng Ruijin to replace her.
Rather than saying that Su Qingyu was standing up for Su Shunci, it would be more accurate to say that she was standing up for herself in her previous life.
Blood ties are sometimes a blessing and sometimes a shackle.
Su Chengye's face turned red when he was questioned by Su Qingyu. It was not a shameful thing to be scolded by his own daughter in front of him.
Naturally, he would not reflect on whether he had done something wrong. He just thought that his daughter had become more and more rude and independent.
"Your grandmother's life or death is uncertain right now. What's the point of saying all this nonsense?"
Su Qingyu's words just now were also recalled from her past life. She regretted it after she finished speaking. Knowing that her father was selfish and had no opinion, what was the point of saying these things?
We must investigate this matter now to make sure it is true. Even if my grandmother really can't make it, Aci's reputation must be cleared.
Since Emperor Taizu, the Great Zhou Dynasty has always ruled with benevolence and filial piety. If word spread that Ah Ci had angered her grandmother to death, her life would be ruined, if not ruined.
Su Qingyu was very quick. Before the imperial physician arrived, the whole process of the incident was clearly laid out in front of everyone.
The servants of Qingxinju can confirm that the Fourth Young Lady had been under their supervision before she came to Songhetang.
Madam Li from the sewing room confirmed that the bellyband was indeed new and was taken back by Jinyun in the morning.
Several maids who were cleaning the house had seen Gu Jinsong hiding in the grass. They said that not long after that, they saw Jinyun limping back to Qingxinju.
As the testimonies were laid out before everyone, Su Qingyu coldly asked, "Father, how should we deal with someone who uses foul language in the inner chambers and attempts to smear the reputation of the women in our family?"
Su Chengye was angry that Su Qingyu was being too serious, and secretly cursed Gu Jinsong for being shameless. However, facing Su Qingyu's inquiry, he hesitated.
The people in the Gu family are the apple of my mother's eye. If I really punish them, I'm afraid she won't be able to explain herself when she wakes up.
Su Chengye is like this. No matter what happens, he weighs the pros and cons first, and then considers whether the old lady will be angry.
While he was deep in thought, the third and fourth wives of the Gu family rushed in.
Both of them looked unhappy, especially the fourth wife of the Gu family, who started crying as soon as she came in.
"We came here with good intentions to celebrate my aunt's birthday, but why did this happen? My son was beaten beyond recognition. Is there any law in the world?"
Su Qingyu scolded him harshly, "Why are you crying? Grandma is seriously ill, don't cry here."
No matter which family it is, it is taboo to cry like this when there is a patient. It is extremely unlucky.
When the Third Madam of the Gu family heard that the old lady was also seriously ill, she frowned and said, "Aunt is angry, right? How can Aunt's body withstand such a commotion? If the two masters of the family knew about this, I don't know how heartbroken they would be."
"And Jinsong, my aunt loves him the most. Now, one of the two, the grandfather and the grandson, is injured and the other is sick. With such a big thing happening, my cousin has to take charge of them."
These words actually implied that he wanted the Su family to give an explanation to the Gu family.
Su Qingyu laughed out of anger and called the housekeeper Su Zhong in directly.
"Uncle Zhong, kick out everyone in the Gu family. If you can't kick them out, just beat them out."
He then said to the two wives of the Gu family, "You are stirring up trouble in the mansion and condoning Gu Jinsong's evil deeds."
"Now my grandmother's life or death is uncertain because of you. And you are still making nonsense outside my grandmother's house, trying to confuse right and wrong."
"We dare not marry such relatives."
With just a few words, Su Qingyu blamed the old lady's illness on the Gu family.
The two ladies of the Gu family were horrified, and the fourth lady Gu stepped forward and tried to pull Su Qingyu.
"What right do you have to chase us away? You are a married lady, how can you still be the head of the Su family?"
