Chapter 273 The Regent's Beloved 17
Cui Wanrong ordered the servants to pack up. Although most of the items had been moved away, there were still a lot of things left, which made Old Lady Su, who came to supervise Cui Wanrong's moving, jealous.
Old Madam Su, along with several maids and old women, stayed at Furong Garden. Watching the servants of the Cui family carrying boxes of things out, her face twisted with heartache, as if someone was cutting her flesh with a knife.
These are all her Su family's things. How could Sheng'er agree to let that bitch Cui take them all away?
Su Sheng: How could I, a prime minister, covet my ex-wife's dowry?
Su Li: Bah, you hypocritical hypocrite, you clearly want it so badly in your heart, but you say you don’t want it!
Old Madam Su glared at everyone who was moving things with resentment. If Cui Wanrong hadn't been there, the servants would have been worried that she would pounce on them and bite them.
The two maids beside Cui Wanrong couldn't help but feel secretly happy when they saw this. This old woman used to rely on the fact that she was their lady's mother-in-law and would ask their lady for things from time to time.
Although the lady usually wouldn't let her succeed, she still allowed her to take advantage of her a lot.
Over the years, everyone in the Su family has regarded Madam Su's dowry as all property of the Su family. Now that Madam Su has taken everything away, it's no wonder that Madam Su looks like she's eaten shit!
Yingchun stole a glance at Cui Wanrong, and seeing that she wasn't paying attention, she sighed in a voice that Old Madam Su could hear, as if whispering to someone nearby, "Tsk tsk, our Madam is indeed the Cui family's legitimate daughter. This valuable treasure is truly numerous!"
Xia He curled the corners of her lips when she heard that, then her almond-shaped eyes glared slightly: "Look at you, you're so ignorant. My wife has so many treasures. These are just little toys that she bought for her to play with!"
Although she said this on purpose to annoy Old Madam Su, it was the truth. These things were really just little gadgets that Madam bought on a whim.
Most of the time, people lose interest in the things they buy and throw them into the warehouse to gather dust.
If the Madam hadn't wanted to benefit the Prime Minister's Mansion, these things would never have seen the light of day again.
Yingchun smiled sheepishly: "Hehe, Sister Xia He is right. I am too petty and unworldly! But, I am just a little maid..."
Yingchun was still chattering, but Old Lady Su could no longer listen.
Her eyes involuntarily looked at the box in front of the two people, and saw that the box, which had not yet been closed, was full of gold and silver jewelry.
Old Madam Su was furious. Whenever she thought about the fact that these treasures that originally belonged to the Su family were now being taken away by Cui Wan'er, she not only felt heartbroken, but also dizzy and heartbroken, unable to breathe.
If the maid beside her hadn't supported her in time, she probably wouldn't have been able to stand steadily.
Despite this, Old Lady Su still stayed in Furong Garden like a masochist, watching intently, fearing that Cui Wanrong would take away a single needle or thread from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cui Wanrong saw all the little movements of the two maids Yingchun and Xiahe.
She originally wanted to scold the two of them, but seeing that the old woman was so angry that she was half dead, she just let them go.
After Su Li packed up his things, he brought his servants to Furong Garden. After giving instructions to Cui Wanrong, he took the maid around Furong Garden.
She ignored the gazes that were staring at her since she entered the yard, and was only focused on checking whether her mother had forgotten anything?
At this moment, Su Li and Old Madam Su had surprisingly consistent ideas, which was to never let the other party take advantage of them!
Su Li looked around and found that her mother really didn't know how to manage her life. Many things were not packed up. Wouldn't this be a waste of money for the Su family?
Su Li plucked the feathers from a passing goose and asked his servants to pick up all the missed items and take them away.
Su Li, who has experienced all kinds of life, is no longer the senior sister who was out of touch with the world. She thinks she knows how to live now!
Even if she and her mother don't use these things, can't they give them to the servants as rewards?
Even if the servants can't use it, can't they give it to poor families?
In short, the Su family must not get any advantage!
When the concubines in the Prime Minister's Mansion saw Cui Wanrong packing up her dowry in a big way, they knew that she had really divorced the Prime Minister!
Everyone was horrified. Although Cui was arrogant, domineering and annoying, and they had suffered many losses at her hands over the years, that was also the reason why they provoked her in the first place.
Normally, as long as they didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, Cui would treat them as invisible people.
They never set rules for them, nor do they deliberately torture them. Even the children they give birth to grow up safely!
If a new mistress came in, would they still be able to live such a peaceful life?
Everyone was feeling nervous, especially the concubines' daughters who were about to be married off. Their eyes turned red when they saw Cui Wanrong taking Su Li away.
They are now at the age of marriage. They originally thought that their stepmother was stupid, and as long as their aunt acted coquettishly in front of their father, they could find a good family.
Now that my stepmother and my father have divorced, if a new mistress comes, will she not control their marriage like Cui did?
Su Li walked beside Cui Wanrong, feeling the resentful gazes from several of his concubine sisters, but his heart remained calm.
Don’t be fooled by their pitiful appearance now. They are just little girls of twelve or thirteen years old, but they are very cruel at heart!
Cui Wanrong has no feelings for these people and does not need to be responsible for their future.
What will happen to them in the future? She, an outsider, doesn't need to worry about it.
Su Li and Cui Wanrong walked to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and happened to meet Su Wan'er who was returning home.
Su Wan'er was dressed in white, looking pure and innocent, cold and noble. She walked towards Su Li and his mother like a fairy descending to earth.
"Sister, are you going to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion with... Madam Cui?"
Su Wan'er frowned slightly as she looked at Su Li, saying words of concern, but her eyes were filled with pride that she didn't bother to conceal.
When she learned that her father and Cui Wanrong had divorced, she wanted to come back and enjoy the show immediately. However, because Shang had something important to discuss with her, she was delayed until now.
Cui Wanrong has always disliked Su Wan'er, and this dislike reached its peak after she ruined her daughter's reputation and caused her engagement to be broken off.
Seeing that she was enjoying the show and treating them, mother and daughter, like stray dogs, made her so angry that her lungs ached.
Su Li noticed her mood, hugged her arm and acted coquettishly, asking her to leave the things here to her and let her leave and wait in the carriage first.
Cui Wanrong would never agree to this, as she was worried that Su Li would be bullied.
Su Li was helpless. Although she had acted strong in front of her mother many times and would not let anyone bully her, in her mother's eyes, she was still the naive and impulsive original owner who needed her.
