Su Qingyu raised the corner of her lips in a sneer. Her grandmother really knew how to threaten people.
But she stood behind Hai and did not say anything.
Hai ordered someone to open the door and walked in calmly.
He glanced at the messy house and told the people around him, "Pick these up. It seems that mother will not need these, so there is no need to repair them."
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Since Mother is so angry about the lychees that the Fourth Miss sent back to the mansion, don't eat them. I'm afraid it will only make her even angrier."
"Send some to the aunts from the Su family's side branches so they can have a taste of it too."
When Mrs. Su saw Hai standing at the door, she wanted to throw the pillow in her hand away.
But after hearing what Hai said, he was stunned for a moment and unconsciously put down the pillow in his hand.
Seeing this, the maid next to Hai hurried in to clean up the things on the floor.
Speaking of which, the old lady's personality is difficult to serve. She obviously can't get out of bed, but she wants the servants to hand things to her, and then she throws them out.
In fact, all this was done just to make Hai bow his head.
As long as Hai bowed her head today, she would be under her control from now on. If she could control her once, she could control her forever.
But she never expected that the usually gentle Hai Shi would become a completely different person today. For a moment, she even thought it was Lin Wanyin who had returned.
Nanny Yuan, who was attending to the old lady, stepped forward and bowed to Hai, "Third Madam, the old lady's green-glazed flat-mouthed teapot is also broken. She won't drink water without it."
Hai's expression remained unchanged, but her voice was a little cold, "If you don't want to drink water, then you're not thirsty."
Nanny Yuan's expression froze. The Third Madam dared to say such a thing, but she didn't.
Since her stroke, the old lady's temper has become increasingly erratic. Now, the maids tremble with fear when they serve tea. Only when she serves, things seem a little better.
The old lady was also stunned when she heard this. They didn’t even give her tea?
She didn't believe that Hai would be so ruthless.
He said with a sullen face, "You are extremely unfilial. I can report you to Ganyang Palace."
"You don't care about yourself, and you don't care about the third brother's career and Yuan Yi's future?"
Hai was so angry she could hardly speak. If she hadn't considered this, she wouldn't have compromised so much. She was afraid it would affect her husband's career and her son's reputation. But the more she feared, the more unscrupulous the old lady became.
If we compromise again, when will this end?
Su Qingyu was originally standing outside the door. After hearing what the old lady said, she stepped inside.
"Grandma, you can go and complain. Third Aunt has been managing the household these days, and she has the account books for all of Grandma's food, clothing, and other expenses. Which one of them wouldn't be top-notch?"
"The servants in the mansion can also testify. Everyone with a discerning eye has seen how Third Aunt treats Grandmother."
"Grandma, are you going to file a complaint? I'll have you carried to Ganyang Palace right now, and we'll talk to the Emperor together. If Third Uncle's career is really affected, that's his fate. At worst, I can give him a few shops, and our entire Su family will stay away from the court."
"Grandmother, please wait a hundred years and go to our ancestors to apologize."
Su Qingyu's face was frosty, and she had a tone of giving up.
The old lady didn't expect Su Qingyu to be there too. Thinking of their last conversation, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the woman's voice outside again.
"For a few boxes of bird's nests, are the Third Madam and the Eldest Miss going to force the Old Madam like this?"
Su Qingyu frowned and turned to see who was coming.
Aunt Zeng, who was seven months pregnant, walked in slowly with her hands on her belly.
"I'm pregnant with the blood of the eldest wife of the Su family. When he's born, he'll be your biological brother. Don't feel bad for your own brother, please use some bird's nest."
Aunt Zeng was wearing a loose Suzhou embroidered skirt. When she spoke, the corners of her eyes raised, and a bit of shrewdness could be seen between her eyebrows.
But coming from a poor family, he seemed petty compared to Su Qingyu and Hai.
Su Qingyu only glanced at her sideways before saying to Hai, "Third Aunt, this household needs to be more strictly managed from now on. Concubines have their own rules. When the mistress of the household and the legitimate daughter are talking, how can she butt in?"
Aunt Zeng didn't expect Su Qingyu to be so disrespectful to her, and she immediately felt humiliated.
She had never been around Su Qingyu before, and the two times she had met her were from afar. The rumor in the mansion was that this young lady was not to be messed with. But in Zeng Yi Niang's opinion, even if she was not to be messed with, she was just a married lady. How could she be greater than the Marquis?
"What are you saying, Miss? I didn't say anything, why are you insulting me?"
"Ouch, my stomach... hurts."
Zeng Yi Niang used this method to almost walk sideways in the mansion. Even Hai Shi avoided her, fearing that she would rely on her.
But Su Qingyu was not one to be threatened. She simply ordered Feicui in a cold voice, "Mrs. Zeng has committed insubordination. Slap her face ten times."
"If you have a miscarriage, this lady will be responsible."
When these words were spoken, not only Aunt Zeng, but even Hai and the old lady were shocked.
The old lady wanted to speak out to stop her, but for some reason, when she saw Su Qingyu's expression, the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
Hai looked at Su Qingyu hesitantly, somewhat worried. After all, this involved an heir, and she was afraid Su Qingyu would make a big deal out of it.
Su Qingyu gave Hai a comforting look and told Feicui to go ahead and do it.
Not to mention that it was a bastard, even if it was really a child of the Su family, a concubine could not be allowed to threaten him like this.
Upon hearing this, Feicui walked over to Aunt Zeng without hesitation and said, "Aunt, please come in."
Aunt Zeng turned pale with fear. "You...you...be careful or I'll tell the Marquis."
Su Qingyu didn't even look at her and signaled Feicui to drag the person out.
