Su Wenyuan said, "You're so shameless, you must have taken after Wang Shi, right? Who just said this courtyard was nice?"
Su Wenyuan turned her gaze to the others.
Those closest to Su Lin'er were secretly backing away, with He Meihuan especially wanting to hide behind everyone.
Before meeting her, he looked disdainful, but after seeing Su Wenyuan, he became incredibly timid.
No one answered. Su Wenyuan coughed, as if it were a threat or a reminder.
The group exchanged glances, then hesitantly raised their hands and said, "We all think it looks great."
"It looks good, that's all that matters!" Su Wenyuan said with a smile, showing no anger.
“This house was bought by my mother. Do you know who my mother is?” Before they could answer, Su Wenyuan continued, “My mother’s name is Yu Qingzhu. She is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Anle.”
"A lot of money was spent to build this courtyard. Look at the mountains, the water, the bridge, even the tables and chairs here were specially made by skilled craftsmen."
Su Wenyuan acted as if she were the owner of this place, introducing everyone to every plant and tree.
“My mother put so much effort into this courtyard, hoping to be with her beloved forever, but she never expected that it would end up benefiting Wang Shi.”
Su Wenyuan sighed and told everyone about the origin of this courtyard.
Now everyone understood why Su Wenyuan wanted to kick Su Yuan and Wang Shi out.
Everyone listened intently, forgetting their fear, only feeling that the Su residence was so lively, much more lively than their own home.
Su Wenyuan continued, "As you all know, Wang Shi, I won't repeat what I did outside the mansion before, but I really didn't expect that while your mother is still suffering, you've already started holding a birthday banquet!"
Su Lin'er shouted angrily, "That's enough! I told you it's none of your business, you're just here to cause trouble."
She couldn't say anything else; the preceding paragraph was all true.
"Why should I care what you do? Do you think I have nothing better to do?" Su Wenyuan chuckled. "You can hold a banquet anywhere you want, but this Banyan Bamboo Courtyard is mine, and you don't deserve to stay here."
The cause and effect have already been explained, and Su Lin'er's friends couldn't speak up for her.
Fear is one aspect, but more importantly, the facts are there for all to see.
Yu Qingzhu paid for everything and put in a lot of effort. It's one thing for others to stay here, but it's not appropriate for Wang Shi, as an outsider, to stay here for so long.
It's perfectly reasonable for Su Wenyuan to want to come back.
Besides, Su Yuan has already agreed to move out, so Su Lin'er has even less right to insist on staying.
But judging from Su Lin'er's expression, she just didn't want to leave.
It would be too embarrassing to leave now. When everyone was saying this place was beautiful, she was still pretending and saying there was nothing special about it.
Now that Su Wenyuan has pointed it out, this Banyan Bamboo Courtyard is the best place in the mansion.
Su Lin'er tried to refute, saying, "You can't call the shots here. You're already married out, so the affairs of the Su family have nothing to do with you."
Su Wenyuan raised an eyebrow in surprise and burst out laughing.
"You're dreaming! The entire Su family owes me a debt that you can't possibly be unrelated to until you've paid it all back!"
Seeing that Su Wenyuan was not someone to be trifled with, and starting to distance himself from her, what else could this be but a pipe dream?
Su Lin'er said anxiously, "Who owes you? Go find them! What are you doing causing trouble here?"
Now that everyone has arrived and is waiting for the meal, Su Wenyuan shows no sign of leaving.
No matter how anxious she was, she was still at a loss.
Just look at the guards behind Su Wenyuan; they're clearly not to be trifled with.
Su Wenyuan stood up and said, "I haven't caused any trouble yet. Either you take your people and move out now, or I'll have to use some forceful methods to get everyone out. Then we can talk about our own affairs behind closed doors."
The threat was blatant, and the guards behind him were ready to take action.
The young ladies trembled and retreated outside the courtyard, while Su Lin'er was so angry that she trembled all over.
The little bit of face they had managed to gain was instantly lost.
If she celebrates her birthday here, and then gets kicked out halfway through, wouldn't that make her a laughingstock?
Su Wenyuan was not joking with her. She was looking around to see if anything was missing or damaged.
After all, this will be her place soon, so we have to keep a close eye on her.
Ye Xin stepped forward and whispered, "Today is your birthday, let's not waste time here. Let's go to your place, we always go to your place."
“Yes, we’ve looked around here. It doesn’t matter where we eat or drink tea, so let’s hurry up and leave!” After saying that, the man carefully observed Su Wenyuan’s expression.
This is true presence: calm, composed, and authoritative without being angry.
Her behavior was completely different from when Su Lin'er had just arrogantly reprimanded her aunt; Su Wenyuan was clearly more forceful.
Everyone stepped forward to persuade Su Lin'er, not wanting to be chased away by the guards.
They all felt it would sound bad if it got out, and they didn't want to provoke Su Wenyuan.
Su Lin'er was unconvinced and stood there without saying a word.
Someone else advised, "I think Princess Consort Chen came here for this matter, so it's not right for us to occupy her space like this."
They had already accepted that the Banyan and Bamboo Courtyard belonged to Su Wenyuan.
Su Lin'er glared at her. She wanted to say that this was the Su residence, and she had the right to dispose of anything belonging to the Su family.
I've never heard of any family setting aside a separate courtyard for their married daughter.
That's what she thought in her heart, but she didn't say a word; she didn't dare.
If Su Wenyuan says she's going to kick them out, then she'll definitely do it.
Since everyone was offering her a way out, Su Lin'er readily agreed and led a large group of people back to her residence.
She didn't say anything before leaving, and didn't even look at Su Wenyuan.
Su Wenyuan didn't mind, because they would meet again soon, and they would have a lot to talk about then.
"Leave a few people here to guard this place. From now on, no one from the Su family is allowed to enter, and nothing here is to be touched!"
Meng Qi chuckled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. No one has touched anything here. Didn't Your Highness tell us last time that we should check on things regularly? We even have a book to record what's here!"
Su Wenyuan did give the order, back when she had just gotten the courtyard back.
Fearing that Su Yuan and Wang would take all the good stuff, she specifically warned Su Yuan that she would send someone to inspect the place.
Su Yuan was initially afraid that Su Wenyuan would cause trouble, so he never thought about this matter.
Wang thought she would wait and see if there was a chance to move things back. If not, she would try to find a way to move some things back.
But before that day could come, something bad happened.
In this way, the things in the yard were preserved.
Su Wenyuan praised, "You did a good job this time, and you deserve praise."
"I didn't do it," Meng Qi said honestly.
