Chapter 1052: Today is another day of pride
Old Man Su no longer paid attention to Su Zhengyan and shouted, "Let's go...let's go...let's make way...let's make way..."
The old man of the Su family suddenly raised his head from the plaque and looked at Old Man Su.
"Stop!" The old man of the Su family cried out in anger, "You are a descendant of the Su family! You can't leave! You are responsible for carrying forward the Su family's prosperity! You must bring honor to the Su family and restore the Su family to the glory of our ancestors..."
Old man Su paused and turned around.
However, he did not look at the old man of the Su family, but at the head of the Su family.
"Master Su, the old man in your family may be a little confused and talking nonsense. You should take him back and ask a doctor to check his head." Old man Su suggested sincerely.
The Su family patriarch: "..."
His face was full of bitterness.
Tang Bao quickly reminded: "Master Su, don't forget the two hundred thousand taels of silver."
"...Don't worry, little princess. I will present it to you in full on a chosen day." The head of the Su family said with some difficulty.
Others may not know it, but he knows it.
After the Su family took out their assets of 200,000 taels of silver, there wasn't much property left.
The Su family was completely ruined.
Tang Bao was very satisfied with the answer from the head of the Su family.
"I believe that Master Su will not break his promise. After all, it would not look good if I brought people to his house to collect the debt." Tang Bao said happily.
The Patriarch of the Su Family: "...The little princess is joking."
The expression on his face became more bitter.
Tang Bao smiled and took Old Lady Su's arm.
"Dad, Mom, Brother, let's go."
"Okay! Let's go!" Old Man Su said loudly.
Today is another day for him to be proud!
The old man of the Su family looked at the old man Su and his family with no reluctance from their backs. His face was pale and his lips trembled and moved slightly.
These people are all my own descendants!
The old man of the Su family was thinking vaguely, his eyes falling on Su Laowu and Tang Bao.
His great-grandson and great-granddaughter, one was a champion and the other was a princess.
And those children I have never met, who have already passed the imperial examination at a young age and can compose five-character quatrains at the age of seven...
How honored would I be if I could have all these children under my wing, with five generations living under the same roof?
Who in the world dares not to look up to me? Who in the world dares not to look up to the Su family?
Who can compete for the position of the top official in the officialdom?
Even if he were to go to the underworld in the future, he would be full of glory when facing the ancestors of the Su family.
But now——
The old man of the Su family looked at the mess on the ground in front of the gate, and the surrounding gazes that were either contemptuous or gloating...
My vision went dark, my body swayed, and my hand slowly covered my heart.
The feeling of regret was like an invisible hand, gripping his heart, tightening more and more...
Tang Bao subconsciously turned around, glanced at the old man of the Su family, and touched her small bag.
I wonder if I can sell it for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver someday?
Tang Bao looked up at the gate of the Su family.
Although there is no imperial plaque on the gate, this house is still worth a lot of money.
Or... maybe one day, I can give the house back to Dad?
After all, if it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from his great-grandmother, the Su family would have been finished long ago.
It's only right to take back the Su family's ancestral home and give it to Dad with interest, right?
Tang Bao silently made some calculations in her mind.
The crowd of onlookers at the Su family's gate quickly dispersed as Tang Bao's family left.
I ate too much melon today and I feel so full.
So, they had to go back quickly to digest the food.
Oh, that is to say, spread this earth-shaking news.
"Miss, I didn't expect that the Su family is actually the bloodline of a century-old family!" Zou Shuqin's maid Mo Ju looked at the gate of the Su family in shock and lowered the curtain of the carriage.
"Their family is really stupid! They could have a more noble status, but they refuse it." Mo Ju curled her lips and said sourly: "They are really a family of peasants, born to be unpresentable!"
You know, the status of the legitimate son of a century-old family is much higher than that of the champion in the imperial examination.
Even Tang Bao's status as a princess is not so useful in front of the daughter of a century-old family.
Because, a century-old family emphasizes heritage.
When people talk about centuries-old families, it’s as if their bloodline is superior to others.
Zou Shuqin leaned against the backrest of the carriage, with a few packets of medicine next to her hand, and the expression on her face was unpredictable.
"That Su Tang has always been self-righteous. She thinks she can look down on others because she has the Third Prince's support." Zou Shuqin said grimly, "I want to see if the Third Prince can protect her for the rest of her life?!"
Mo Ju glanced at Zou Shuqin's expression, which suddenly became a little ferocious, and couldn't help but shudder.
Then, she said flatteringly, "Miss, you're right! His Highness the Third Prince has reached the age to choose a concubine. I heard that the girls from the Zheng family, the Song family, and the Wang family..."
"Oh, by the way, there's also the general's daughter, who is said to be the Third Prince's childhood sweetheart. The elders in her family have high hopes for her, hoping she'll marry the Third Prince as the Crown Princess..."
"As long as the Third Prince gets married, how can he be so shameless and protect a little girl like her? It will cause gossip!"
After hearing what Mo Ju said, Zou Shuqin's expression became better.
"Heaven gave her a ladder to heaven, but she refused to accept it." Zou Shuqin's tone was filled with a hint of gloating. "If she were the legitimate daughter of a century-old family, she might be able to compete for the position of the Third Prince's consort."
"But now, not only has she given up her status as the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family, she has also smashed the plaques left by her ancestors. How stupid!"
Zou Shuqin shook her head, her face showing excitement.
"What happened today is an indelible flaw on her!"
"No aristocratic family would seek to marry the daughter of such a person!"
"Who knows, she might end up marrying a minor official..."
When Zou Shuqin thought that Tang Bao could only marry a minor official in the end, she couldn't help but feel excited.
When I got excited, my stomach started to hurt a little.
Zou Shuqin's face changed, and she thought of what the doctor said, and quickly calmed down.
Then, he looked down at his flat abdomen, a smug gleam in his eyes.
"I want to see what Su Tang's expression will be when she finds out that her best friend, Xia Siya's fiancé, has become my lover."
As Zou Shuqin spoke, she placed her hands on her belly and gently touched it.
Then, his eyes fell on the medicine bag next to him.
This contains the pregnancy-maintaining medicine she just bought from the pharmacy.
After hearing what Zou Shuqin said, Mo Ju showed a hint of hesitation.
"Miss, do you really want to be the third young master's concubine?" Mo Ju asked.
