He was slightly stunned when she saw Su Qingyu come in. She had not seen Su Qingyu since she returned to Beijing.
I wanted to find an opportunity to meet him and talk about Su Chengyan's job search in Beijing.
So even though what Su Qingyu said was a bit unpleasant, He still walked forward with a smile.
"Qingyu is back. I haven't seen her for a few years. She's getting prettier and prettier."
"Second Aunt and your Second Uncle tried their best but still couldn't catch up with you to get married. Please don't be angry with Second Aunt."
Don't hit a smiling person. After seeing He's behavior, Su Qingyu's cold expression eased a little.
"Second Aunt, you are being too formal. We are all family. It would be inappropriate to say such things."
Then he asked, "How did Aunt Lian offend Second Aunt? Why did you use such harsh measures?"
At this time, Su Shunci had already helped Aunt Lian up, and her small body was blocking Aunt Lian.
When He heard Su Qingyu ask about this, anger appeared on her face again.
"Su Shunci beat your second sister's face until it was swollen. Aunt Lian raised her daughter but didn't teach her, so she deserved to be beaten."
He didn't know that Su Qingyu and Su Shunci had been together all the time. She subconsciously thought that the two met at the door.
Su Qingyu chuckled and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Adopting a daughter but not educating her? Raising children is the responsibility of a mother. Are you, Second Aunt, hinting at my mother?"
He was stunned. She didn't expect Su Qingyu to think this way.
I immediately explained, "Second Aunt didn't mean that."
Then he turned around and looked at Su Shunci coldly, "Since the Fourth Miss is back, let's talk. The Fourth Miss beat your second sister like that. She was so vicious at such a young age. How could you be so cruel?"
Having said that, he turned and walked into the inner hall and sat down.
Su Qingyu and Su Shunci also walked in, while Aunt Lian was sent back by the maid.
When the old lady saw Su Shunci coming in, she asked sternly, "You still remember to come back? Look at how you beat your second sister. You are so bold that you even dared to hit your sister at home."
Su Shunci stood in the middle of the hall, her expression calm. "Grandmother, do you know why I hit my second sister? She made a serious mistake and spoke harshly. If I don't hit her, I won't be able to explain to the eldest daughter of the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion."
The old lady's anger intensified. "You ruined the brocade yourself, and you're blaming your second sister?"
Su Shunci frowned, knowing that Su Yihui and Su Xiangling must have said something.
She recounted what had happened in the shop today, including how they had both taken things without paying, how Su Xiangling had insisted on seeing the ancient fragrant satin, and how she had ended up damaging it and making mean remarks about it.
After Su Shunci finished explaining what had happened, she continued without waiting for the old lady to respond.
"This piece of antique satin was ordered by the eldest daughter of the Loyalty Marquis's family. Grandmother also knows that the Loyalty Marquis's wife has only one legitimate daughter, and she dotes on her like a jewel."
"The eldest daughter of the Song family was waiting to use the ancient fragrant satin to make a dress for the Lotus Banquet on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. Now the material has been damaged by my second sister, and I don't know how to explain it to Miss Song."
Su Shunci was eloquent, and not only did he speak accurately about this matter, but he also spoke with great vigor.
Su Xiangling immediately retorted guiltily, "You're lying. Things are not what you said at all."
Su Yihui also said, "Grandma, don't believe her. She's just afraid of being blamed by you. Not a single word she said is true."
The old lady also looked at Su Shunci coldly, "Are you telling the truth? Who can prove that what you said is true?"
Su Qingyu sat aside and said, "I can testify for Fourth Sister. I was outside the door at the time. What Fourth Sister said is true. I saw it with my own eyes."
"Oh, it wasn't just me. There were quite a few people outside watching the excitement. Do you want me to post a reward? I guess a lot of people would be willing to come and testify."
Su Xiangling and Su Yihui didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would appear out of nowhere, and Su Qingyu was actually just outside the door.
Other people's testimony was not convincing, but Su Qingyu's words carried some weight in the Su family.
After listening to Su Qingyu, the old lady glanced at the two people beside her who looked guilty.
He asked angrily, "What's going on?"
Su Xiangling shrank back in fear. "Even if I accidentally damaged the brocade, she shouldn't have hit me. She's a concubine's daughter, why would she hit me?"
Su Qingyu looked at Su Xiangling coldly, "Second sister, you have been in Qianzhou before, so you don't know much about the things in the capital."
"Then let me tell you something. The Song family of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness is a family of founding heroes, and they are all loyal and brave. Countless descendants of the Song family have died on the battlefield throughout the generations."
"The current Marquis of Loyalty is the late Queen's biological brother. He has six sons, but only this one daughter."
"Whether Second Sister did it intentionally or not, it's you who damaged the antique satin. Our family must make a gesture to give Miss Song an explanation."
Su Xiangling was not convinced, especially after the old Taoist figured out that she had the fate of a phoenix, she began to look down on everyone.
After returning to Beijing, she heard that Su Qingyu had married Elder Shen, and her grandmother's words were full of pride. She felt even more indignant, and when she heard Su Qingyu's words again, she wanted to retort.
"Big sister started to act arrogantly after marrying Elder Shen?"
He muttered softly, "He's still not married at such an old age. Is there something wrong with him?"
Su Qingyu didn't even frown. She stood up, walked to Su Xiangling, and slapped her twice.
The already swollen face was hit and a big red handmark was left on it.
"Second sister, this is the capital. Are you dissatisfied with our Su family's good life and want to bring disaster upon us?"
Su Qingyu looked at the old lady again, "Grandma, if what I just said gets to the Shen family..."
Upon hearing this, the old lady also scolded Su Xiangling harshly, "Your elder sister is right. Think before you speak. This is the capital, not Liping Prefecture in Qianzhou."
The old lady thought to herself, this girl grew up in a small town, so her knowledge and perspective are limited. She also wondered, can such a girl really be the mother of the country?
Su Xiangling didn't expect that not only would she be slapped twice, she would also be scolded.
She looked at He with grievance, "Mom, you decide for me."
He was a person who was used to changing her attitude according to the situation. After taking a look at the old lady's expression, she knew that what Su Xiangling had just said had also violated the old lady's taboo.
Furthermore, she had something to ask of Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu, so she suppressed her anger and said to Su Xiangling, "Your grandmother is right. You shouldn't be so outspoken."
Su Xiangling was so angry that she covered her face and ran away.
He looked at her back with a distressed look, then turned to Su Qingyu and forced a smile, "Your second sister has been spoiled by me, don't take it to heart, I will discipline her when we get back."
Su Qingyu just said lightly, "It's okay."
He pretended not to know that she was angry and continued to talk to Su Qingyu with a smile.
"Qingyu, your second uncle has been back in Beijing and is still idle. Can you talk to your son-in-law and find a good job for him?"
