At this moment, Su Chengye did not look at all as handsome and elegant as usual, but rather looked like a demon that had crawled out of the boundless hell.
Seeing that the person asking the question was the old lady, Su Chengye suppressed the coldness on his face and said, "Mother, I saw her secretly meeting with another man in bed with my own eyes. For so many years, she has been scheming against me and the Su family."
"If I don't kill her today, I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart."
Su Chengye finished his words slowly, raised his hand and whipped him again.
Seeing that Gu Ruoyun stopped shouting, he ordered the servant beside him, "Throw water, pour pepper water."
A basin of red water was poured directly onto Gu Ruoyun.
"ah."
The shrill and miserable sound resounded through the sky again, and Shaohua Hall seemed to have become a torture chamber in hell.
After hearing Su Chengye's answer, the old lady stopped trying to persuade him. No man wants to be cuckolded, and from what Su Chengye said, there must be something else going on.
Things had come to this, and the old lady turned around and walked out of Shaohua Hall, twisting her Buddhist beads.
Seeing this, everyone followed suit and left one after another.
The wet nurse who was holding Su Yuanche didn't know what to do, so she could only take the child to the back to rest.
Su Qingyu was the last one to leave. Before leaving, she took another deep look at the person hanging in the yard who looked like a blood gourd.
On the way back, Su Qingyu felt as if a huge stone had been removed from her chest, and she felt completely relaxed.
In the evening, Zhenzhu went to the main kitchen to get some food. When she came back, she was setting the table and said, "When I was getting the food, I ran into Cuimei from Furong Garden. I learned that Aunt Xue had taken the money and ordered a large table of dishes, and asked the main kitchen to help prepare them."
"Whose birthday is it in Furong Garden today?"
Su Qingyu had just washed her hands, and Amber was helping her apply rose-scented hand cream on them.
The light aroma made people feel happy. Su Qingyu smiled and said, "Madam Xue is celebrating that my eldest brother has become the prince of the Marquisate. This huge family business will soon be in his hands. What's the big deal about having some delicious food?"
Pearl was a little indignant and snorted, saying, "God is really blind. It would have been better if our wife had given birth to a legitimate son."
Feicui said quickly, "You can't say such things in front of Madam." Xiang Xiang added, "Our young lady must have made up her mind. If nothing else, the position of the Crown Prince must be reserved for our true eldest young master."
"It's impossible that even if we find the person back, the title of Marquis will be gone."
Su Qingyu sat down at the table, drank a sip of soup, and then said, "Fei Cui is right. The title of the Marquisate cannot be taken away by others."
"These days, you should be alert when you move around the mansion. If there is any news in Shaohua Hall and Furong Garden, please inform me immediately."
Several maids answered yes, and Su Qingyu sat down and started to eat peacefully.
Today's meal tasted more delicious than usual, so she even ordered half a bowl more than usual.
The next morning, Su Qingyu was still asleep when she was woken up by Feicui.
"Miss, wake up quickly, something happened in Shaohua Hall."
Su Qingyu opened her eyes with great effort. Because she was still sleepy, her voice sounded a little softer than usual.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Could it be that her confused father has forgiven Gu Ruoyun again?
She really didn't want to get up. She was so excited last night that she didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.
Then Feicui said, "Miss, Madam Yun is dead. She was beaten to death by the Marquis."
Su Qingyu nodded. This was within her expectations.
If Su Chengye couldn't bring himself to do that, she would stab him again.
Feicui continued, "The fourth young master is also dead. He was suffocated to death by the Marquis."
"Now the old lady is discussing with the Marquis how to hold the funeral."
Su Qingyu's mind, which had been confused just now, suddenly became clear and she sat up suddenly from the bed.
"Suffocated to death?" she asked again.
Feicui nodded, "The Marquis took the child away in the middle of the night. By the time the wet nurse found him, he was already cold."
Su Qingyu was stunned for a long time before she said, "It's better to go. It will save you from suffering if you live."
Zhenzhu came in holding clothes. She was wearing a plain moon-colored skirt and a light-colored double-breasted short jacket.
Su Qingyu glanced at it and said, "Give me the red jacket with lotus petals and winding branches embroidered all over it, and for the cloak, take the red brocade peacock pattern that the Third Master gave me."
Pearl hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, there has been a death in the mansion. Is it okay to dress like this?"
Pearl didn't care what the dead thought, but she was afraid that others would say her daughter was unruly and too ostentatious.
Su Qingyu didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "If I were not dead, I wouldn't dress like this."
"According to my preparations, a shameful concubine has died, and I still have to wear mourning for her?"
By the time Zhenzhu had prepared her clothes according to Su Qingyu's instructions, Su Qingyu had already put on her makeup and jewelry.
Dressed in bright and festive attire, it didn't look like someone had died in the house, but rather like there was going to be a wedding.
As usual, she went to Songhe Hall to pay her respects to the old lady on time.
When the steward Su Zhong saw Su Qingyu dressed in bright red, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
I thought to myself that I had never seen the young lady dressed so festively, and no matter how I looked at it, it didn't look like she was going to a funeral.
Seeing Su Zhong coming from the direction of Songhe Hall, Su Qingyu asked, "Uncle Zhong, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"
Su Zhong stopped and said, "To answer the eldest lady's question, the Marquis has asked me to take care of the funeral ceremonies for Madam Yun and the Fourth Young Master. I need to go to the accounting office to withdraw money to make some purchases."
The two people died suddenly, and there were still many things to buy. After Su Zhong finished speaking, he was about to walk towards the outer courtyard.
