Chapter 163: Mother's Home, Tough

“You…”

Su Heng was thinking about his sister being wronged, but he actually stepped into his comfort zone.

Su Jin was calmer. He slowly swallowed the last bite of snack and took another sip of tea. After his mouth was clear, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, which were empty. He lowered his head and coughed twice, hesitatingly saying, "Brother, wuwuwu..."

Su Heng: ...

You are obviously pretending, do you have to be so artificial?

"Uncle, the lady is fine!"

Jin Chuan couldn't help but explain: "Our eldest lady has already regained her heart. No matter how excessive the Marquis's residence is, we will pretend that we didn't see or hear anything. As long as we are happy, it's fine. But to the outside world, we still have to pretend."

Su Heng: ...

So it was really an act?

"younger sister!"

Su Heng shed two lines of tears: "The Marquis' Mansion is really a piece of shit. You used to be so genuine, but now you are forced to act to make a living!"

Su Heng felt sorry for his sister. After all, no matter how he looked at it, his sister's change was forced by the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. So, his sister was really pitiful. Sob...

Su Heng imagined a tragic plot of 100,000 words in his mind. Su Jin twitched his lips. How to say it, maybe the original body really suffered all these hardships, but she really was enjoying life every day.

"Hey, big brother, sit down. Yuchuan, bring some food. Big brother hasn't eaten yet, right?"

Su Heng sighed: "Knowing what happened to you, my father and the elders of the clan rushed here as fast as they could. My mother wanted to come too, but she couldn't ride a horse. She caught a cold in the winter and now she coughs when the weather gets cold. My father didn't let her come..."

Su Jin lowered his head and calculated.

In short, the fewer people who come to your house, the better, so as not to expose yourself as a fake.

"Then my father and the elders..."

"You don't have to worry about these!" Su Heng said, "Divorce, it must be divorced. My father, the elders and I have discussed this on the way. We will handle this matter. You just stay in Liuting Pavilion and pretend to be sick!"

Su Heng spoke openly about pretending to be sick. Su Jin laughed and felt that his elder brother was really a true person.

Ahem, well, we can't talk about pretending to be sick so loudly.

But since someone is handling this matter, it’s even better. She doesn’t have to do anything and can just lie down again.

Well, very good.

Su Heng was still chattering.

"Hmph, even the elders of the clan said that Yixuan is too smart to be a playboy. There must be something Lin Wanhui doing here. After all, they are relatives. When they were in financial difficulty and came to our house, our mother helped them. Now, are they repaying kindness with enmity? Where did Lin Qidong's family move to? I must find this old thing and ask her clearly!"

Lin Qidong is Lin Wanhui’s biological father, but Lin Qidong is no longer with us. The current manager of the Lin family is Lin Wanhui’s brother Lin Ming, but…

Su Jin said calmly, "That family moved out of the city a long time ago. Oh, they moved out of the city because they couldn't make ends meet."

Su Heng: ...

"It's all good, why can't I live like this?"

Su Heng felt that his sister must be lying to him. This was the capital, how could anyone not be able to survive? Besides, wasn't Lin Wanhui still here? With her character, would she not help her family?

Su Jin was silent. Yuchuan looked around and spoke carefully, "After offending our eldest lady, we can no longer make ends meet. We have moved away with our whole family."

“…”

Ah, what kind of information is this?

Su Heng felt like he had missed something good. Then he looked at his sister and found this face, which was eating and drinking calmly, extremely unfamiliar.

Is this person still my innocent sister who can't do anything right? ?

Su Heng held his forehead with his hand. So, is it meaningful for them to ride thousands of miles to support Jin Er?

"Madam, Brother Xuan is back, and Brother Lu and the fourth lady are here too."

Hearing that their uncle was coming, everyone naturally wanted to come and see him. Soon, three children came in. Gu Zixuan had not yet taken off his official robe. Although it was a green robe, he was entering the Hanlin Academy. This starting point was extremely high.

Gu Zilu followed behind Gu Suiyu. The fourth girl became more and more beautiful. As for Gu Zilu, it was said that he had already won the first place in the county and the prefecture, and was just waiting for the first place in the court next year.

"well!"

Su Heng nodded with satisfaction, thinking that all three children were excellent.

The family was having a lively reunion in Liuting Pavilion, but the atmosphere in the hall of Yong'an Marquis Mansion was solemn.

Su Bingzhi had already entered the room, and Yong'an Marquis Gu Zhao also came out with his wife to entertain them, and Gu Changqing was even busier.

"Mother, I'll go call Jin'er out..."

Gu Changqing still wanted to meet Su Jin, he had a lot of questions to ask.

However, Su Bingzhi said calmly, "No need. Jin'er has made it very clear what she meant by this matter. We old guys are here only to deal with the aftermath. After the divorce is written, we can part ways and live happily ever after."

What?

Gu Changqing looked at Su Bingzhi in disbelief. He had never expected that the old patriarch came here not to persuade them to reconcile, but to persuade them to separate.

Isn’t it said that the Hexi Su family is a prominent family that cares most about rules, etiquette and reputation?

How could you agree to divorce so readily?

Gu Changqing was unhappy, and he couldn't help but say, "Elder, Helizi is a serious matter. Don't you care about your face in the Hexi Su family?"

"Gu Changqing, shut up!"

Gu Zhao was furious. How could this brat talk to the clan elders in such a way?

Gu Zhao scolded his son, but Su Bingzhi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, but since Chang Qing asked, I'll ask too. Is Lin Wanhui still in the mansion?"

With just one sentence, everyone who was asked was speechless.

Gu Zhao didn't even dare to raise his head, and Zou looked even more embarrassed. She only looked at Zhang Qing and said with her neck stiff, "Su Jin doesn't want to see me. If she does, she will have the final say on how to deal with this woman!"

"Oh!"

Su Xilin couldn't help laughing. He pinched his beard and stared at Gu Changqing. He felt that when he first met Gu Changqing, he didn't think this person was so stupid.

"What is father-in-law laughing at?"

Gu Changqing was unhappy, but Su Xilin ignored him. The elder was talking, so he should shut up respectfully and sit quietly.

Su Bingzhi raised his hand again, signaling for silence, and then slowly said: "If you do this, I will think that this is what your Marquis' Mansion wants. In this case, it is better for both of you to divorce as soon as possible."

"Meaning, what do you mean? I don't understand what you mean, elder!"

Su Bingzhi raised his old eyelids and said calmly: "You still keep a concubine who harmed the legitimate son in the mansion. This is favoring the concubine and destroying the wife. We, the Hexi Su family, value our reputation and abide by the etiquette, but the condition is that others also abide by the etiquette and know how to save face!"

"If others do not follow the etiquette and have no shame, we, the Hexi Su family, will fight to the end."
