Chapter 477 The Biggest Melon
"Bah! You, the Lu family, are not worthy of being a wealthy family, yet you do such dirty things! Get out!" Old Mrs. Su chased them away with her cane.
"Old lady, please don't be so ungrateful. Your Su Ying has been rejected before and is already over the age of marriage. Who else can she marry?
Do you really think you can be a court lady forever? Sooner or later, you will get married!
My Lu family is a famous and prestigious family. We do not look down on your Su family, which is poor and small. We do not look down on her for having broken off the engagement. We marry her as a co-wife, which is a great honor for us.
"Shame on you! Go out and ask around, who would still want to marry her!"
The Minister's wife, Wang Zhaoyun, looked condescending and said hurtful words.
"You bitch! How dare you insult my son like that!" The well-mannered Mrs. Du was so angry that her eyes turned red and she wanted to pounce on Wang Zhaoyun and tear his mouth.
"Bang!" The old lady was quicker than Mrs. Du and hit Wang Chaoyun on the shoulder with her crutch. "You crazy woman talking nonsense, get out!"
"Ouch!" Wang Zhaoyun felt pain and ran away in fear.
Wang Zhihua was stunned. He was indeed from a poor family and was so rude that he actually resorted to violence.
After much difficulty in convincing her mother-in-law, she asked to marry Su Ying as her co-wife to please her husband, but she didn't expect that the Su family would be ungrateful and actually beat her.
Seeing that the Su family was so low-class, she was secretly happy. When her husband returned and saw his mother's miserable condition, he would never have any improper thoughts about the girls of the Su family.
"Mother!" Wang Zhihua pretended to protect him, but blocked Wang Chaoyun's way, causing him to be beaten with crutches twice more.
"Grandma!" Su Ying rushed over and saw that the living room was in a mess, so she hurriedly pulled the old lady.
"Don't stop me! I want to teach this crazy woman a lesson! She's so abusive! I've never seen such an insult!"
Old Mrs. Su was leaning on a cane, full of energy.
It was you, the kid from the Lu family, who provoked my Su family. At first, the Su family refused again and again. It was your old lady from the Lu family who came forward in person. Seeing the Lu family's sincerity, the Su family agreed to the marriage.
When the Su family fell into trouble, not only did your Lu family not help, but you also chased them to the city gate, broke off the engagement in public, and verbally humiliated your granddaughter.
Now that the Su family has returned in glory, they were summoned as soon as they arrived in Chang'an. What a great honor it has given to the Su family!
The Lu family is so good, they come to humiliate people and act like they are giving alms.
I have never seen such a shameless person, humiliating others and expecting them to be grateful!
If the Su family doesn't fight back after being bullied, they won't be able to hold their heads up high in Chang'an.
Not only did Su Ying have a difficult time getting married, but her other brothers and sisters were also looked down upon and had difficulty getting married.
"You, the Su family, are a bunch of barbarians, accustomed to the barbaric spirit of Lingnan. You deserve Su Ying to be unable to get married!"
Wang Zhaoyun's hair was disheveled and she was supported by Wang Zhihua. She cursed in a timid manner and ran out in a hurry.
"How dare you!" He collided with the guards from the East Palace who were escorting the prince in. The guard drew out half of his sword and protected the prince in front of him.
Wang Zhaoyun was so frightened when he saw Li Chengqian wearing the crown and robes of the crown prince that he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Who are you?" Li Chengqian remained calm.
Judging from her luxurious clothes, she is not an official's wife from a poor family, but her miserable appearance shows that the Su family dislikes her and has even attacked her.
This is interesting; this isn't the normal way to treat guests.
No matter how much you hate someone, at most you'll just turn your face away. As long as you can talk to each other, you're all decent people.
This escalated to the point where the master of the house took action. It seemed that the woman must have punctured the master's lung.
"I am Wang, the wife of Lu Hezhou, the Minister of Works!" Wang Zhaoyun was ashamed and embarrassed, his old face flushed red.
Your hair is disheveled and your appearance is untidy. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to correct his misbehavior, you can forget about losing face.
"Oh, the minister's wife!" Li Chengqian nodded.
This is actually the family of Minister Lu. They broke off the engagement and humiliated me.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Upon hearing the news, Su Ying hurried out to greet him.
"Master Su's house is bustling!" Li Chengqian smiled.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for making trouble. Someone fell ill early in the morning and ran to the Su family and talked nonsense, which made people unhappy." Su Ying replied.
"Oh, who is so blind as to dare to displease Lord Su! There's no need to be polite to such a crazy woman, just throw her out!" Li Chengqian said lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards came forward, picked up Wang Chaoyun and her mother-in-law like chickens, and threw them out of the Su Mansion.
"Bang, bang!" With two muffled sounds, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fell outside the door of the Su Mansion.
The end of the year is approaching, and it is the busiest time for the government. There are many officials coming in and out, some from Jingzhao Prefecture and some from various government offices.
Hearing the muffled sound, everyone turned their heads and saw two women in luxurious clothes being thrown out of the Su Mansion by the East Palace guards.
Someone recognized them as Mrs. Lu, the Minister of Works, and her mother-in-law. Almost everyone in the capital knew about the little affairs between the Lu and Su families.
At this moment, everyone smelled something fishy and stopped leaving. They used the excuse that they had official business to attend to and blocked the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture, listening to the noises from next door.
Su Ying came out and said coldly:
"Lu Wangshi, don't think that everyone in your Lu family wants to marry you! It was your Lu family who asked for your hand in marriage several times, and even the old lady came to the door in person, before my Su family agreed!
My Su family was exiled, and your Lu family took advantage of my misfortune, breaking off the engagement and humiliating me. My Su family accepts this! We didn't want this marriage in the first place!
Now he is shameless again, coming to humiliate me and wants to marry me as the second master Lu’s concubine!
It made my grandmother and mother so angry, it’s too much!
Throwing it out today is already a sign of restraint. If you dare to come to my Su Mansion to humiliate and cause trouble again! I won’t be so polite as throwing it out!
I will definitely drag you to the court and let His Majesty and the ministers judge whether it is right for the rich and powerful to bully the poor and humble at will.
After Su Ying finished speaking, there was undisguised hatred in her eyes.
Oh my god, what earth-shattering news had I just heard? It was so explosive! The officials at the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture were so excited that their faces flushed.
The Lu family has really gone crazy. They broke off the engagement and now want to marry her as a concubine?
Do you really think the Su family is made of clay? So heartless?
It’s true that the Lu family is a prominent family, they shouldn’t be humiliating like this!
Some people are quick-witted. The Lu family married Su Ying as a co-wife only because they were attracted by the huge profits she had, such as white folded rice, colored silkworms, and sugarcane.
Do you really think that if you throw a bone to the Su family, they will wag their tails and chew on it?
How many people are worthy of Lord Su nowadays?
I believe that it is not only the Lu family that has set its sights on Lord Su, but no one expected the Lu family to be so shameless and act so quickly!
"Master Xiao Su, such a rude person should be beaten out with sticks. Why are you being so polite?"
Another luxurious carriage stopped and the fourth prince Li Tai got out.
The Fourth Prince is not as restrained as the Crown Prince. He is really capable of doing it. After all, his father dotes on him and his father will cover him in everything.
Wang Chaoyun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were humiliated and embarrassed, but they had to bow respectfully.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!" Su Ying was overwhelmed. The two brothers weren't having class today? They both ran out.
"Now that I have received the mission, I naturally have to come and ask for advice and learn from Lord Su!" The Fourth Prince said seriously. It's great that he can finally leave the palace openly!
"Your Highness, please come in!" Su Ying welcomed the Fourth Prince into the mansion.
Wang Chaoyun and her daughter-in-law in front of the door got into the carriage and left in a panic.
The officials in front of the Jingzhao Prefecture gate soon finished their work and hurried back to their respective offices, anxious to share the biggest melon at the end of the fourth year of Zhenguan.
