Chapter 116
Main Courtyard of Su Mansion
Mrs. Su held the cup of tea and sipped it slowly.
Nanny Yun walked in and said, "Madam, the master is here."
Mrs. Su came to her senses and nodded lightly.
Minister Su walked in, looked at his wife, sat down on the chair opposite her, and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Madam Su asked someone to serve him tea, and then she personally placed it in front of him, saying with a smile, "This is the best Longjing tea, please have a taste, sir."
Minister Su was a little stunned when he saw the smile on her face. He hadn't seen his wife smile at him for a long time. Every time he came she looked cold.
He picked up the teacup, blew it gently, and then took a sip. The tea had a light fragrance, sweet but not overpowering. He nodded and said with a smile, "Not bad, good tea!"
"If you like it, sir, I have some more here and I'll have someone send it to you later." Mrs. Su said.
Minister Su frowned. He thought his wife was trying to give in to him, but he didn't expect that he was just being sentimental. He asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Madam Su did not beat around the bush and said, "It's time for Yi'er to get married."
"Is he willing to marry the girl from the Liang family?" Minister Su said happily upon hearing this.
Madam Su said, "Miss Liang, if you like her, please leave her to your illegitimate son."
"You!" Minister Su was a little annoyed and said, "What are you talking about?"
Madam Su said calmly, "The truth!"
"you!"
Minister Su was so angry that his chest was heaving, but when he saw that his wife showed no sign of softening, he sighed and said, "Madam, why are you doing this?" They were obviously husband and wife, but now they felt more like enemies. I don’t know since when, the gentle and warm-hearted wife has become what she is now, like a thorny hedgehog.
Madam Su said, "Yier said that he wants to marry the third daughter of the Yin family."
Minister Su frowned, "Yin family? Which Yin family?"
"The Yin family, a Jeju merchant family, is also Mrs. Luo San's family."
"What?"
Minister Su was furious again and said, "That bastard actually wants to marry a merchant's daughter? Who gave him the right?"
"He is the son of a Shangshufang family and he wants to marry a merchant girl. Is he going to make people laugh at my Su family? I don't agree." m.
Madam Su snorted coldly and said, "You really care more about your face."
"Yier said that if he can't marry a girl from the Yin family, he will never marry in his life."
Upon hearing this, Minister Su slammed the table in anger and said, "This rebellious son, since ancient times, children's marriages have been decided by their parents and matchmakers. When will it be his turn to have the final say?"
Madam Su said, "I have already promised him."
"You!" Minister Su said angrily, "This marriage is obviously not a good match, why did you agree to it?"
Madam Su said coldly: "In the eyes of adults, the marriage of their children is a bargaining chip that can stabilize their official positions, but in my case, I will never let them become victims."
"you!"
"Madam, are you going to disobey your husband?" Minister Su asked coldly.
Madam Su smiled and said, "If you say so, then it is so!"
"Why, do you still want to divorce me?"
Minister Su stood up, unable to believe that she would say such a thing, "You...you are crazy!"
Nanny Yun, who was standing nearby, also looked at her wife with horror.
Madam Su thought for a moment and said, "How about we get divorced?"
Minister Su felt that he was hallucinating and he couldn't believe that these were the words his wife said.
Things like divorce must never happen in their Su family. He can't afford to lose face, and the Su family can't afford to lose face either. He took a deep breath, softened his voice, and said, "Madam, since you and Yi'er both like that girl from the Yin family so much, why not take her in, but only as Yi'er's legal wife..."
"Father, I will only marry Miss Yin in this life and will never take a concubine." Su Yi walked in slowly and said coldly: "Father, I am different from you!"
"You! You rebellious son!" Minister Su felt that his face had been exposed, and angrily picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at him.
With a "bang", the cup seemed to hit Su Yi's forehead, then fell to the ground and shattered.
Before Madam Su could stop him, she saw blood flowing down her son's forehead. She panicked and said to Madam Yun, "Go get a doctor."
Nanny Yun nodded and hurried out.
Su Yi covered the wound on his forehead and smiled at her, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine."
Minister Su said coldly: "Since you are alright, then go to the ancestral hall and kneel down. When you realize you are wrong, you can stand up."
"If the father asks his son to kneel, the son will kneel, but the son really does not know where he has done wrong, so please teach him, father."
Minister Su was so angry that he pointed at him and roared, "You rebellious son, you are disobedient to your elders and violate filial piety."
Madam Su walked up to him and said with a cold look, "How have you cared about my two sons in these years? If you want your sons to be filial, you must first be kind. Why do you have to act like a father?"
"This marriage is settled. If you are not satisfied, I don't mind going to Jingzhao Yinfu to apply for a divorce."
"Mother!" Su Yi looked at her with heartache. He knew that his mother was unhappy, but if they divorced, wouldn't his mother become a laughing stock in Kyoto? He would never let his mother do this.
He gritted his teeth and looked at his father, saying, "Father, you can punish your son in any way you want, as long as you let me marry the girl I like."
"Very good!" Minister Su's teeth were clattering. He felt as if he was going to vent all the anger he hadn't felt for all these years. He shouted angrily outside, "Someone, come and give me some family rules!"
Soon a servant came in with a rattan stick.
Su Yi was afraid that his mother would not be able to bear to see him being beaten, so he asked the maid to take her back to her room.
Madam Su struggled and shouted at Minister Su, "If you dare to hit my son, I will fight you to the death!"
The veins on Minister Su's face were about to burst, and he shouted at the maid, "Why don't you take the lady back?"
He turned around and ordered the servants, "Beat them, beat them hard!"
Su Yi knelt on the ground, but his back was straight.
'Snap! '
Whip after whip hit his back, but he clenched his teeth and did not utter a single cry of pain.
After the servant had whipped him thirty times, he saw that his back was already covered in blood and flesh, and he looked hesitantly at the master sitting at the top. Do we still need to fight?
Minister Su glared at him and said, "Why are you standing there? Keep beating him! Beat him until he realizes his mistake!"
The servant's heart skipped a beat and he had to pick up the cane and beat him again.
“Stop it!”
Su Qian supported Old Madam Su and walked over quickly.
When they saw Su Yi's back covered with scars, they felt heartbroken.
"Yier, my poor, darling grandson!"
Su Yi raised his face and smiled at her weakly, "Grandma, my grandson can still hold on!" After that, he fainted.
"Brother!" Su Qian was startled and quickly supported him, shouting to the servant beside him: "Come and help!"
Upon hearing this, the servant hurriedly put down the cane in his hand, walked to Su Yi and helped him up.
Madam Su wiped her tears and said, "Quick, take your brother back to his yard and find a doctor to see him."
Su Qian nodded.
