"Sir, why are you here? Aren't you in the study? We women are talking." While speaking, Mrs. Su kept winking at Mr. Su, hinting that Mr. Su should leave quickly.
Seeing that things are about to be settled, wouldn't Mr. Su's coming over cause more trouble?
Master Su refused to leave. He walked to Su Yurong and said firmly: "Sister Rong will not be a concubine for others."
Mrs. Su eldest son quickly reminded: "Father, you have misunderstood. I am a concubine."
Master Su rolled down his sleeves displeasedly, "That's not a concubine's room? What's the difference?"
Mrs. Su had a natural awe for this father-in-law, and she quickly looked at Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su met Mr. Su's angry eyes and said, "I am also planning not to enter the Marquis' Mansion for Sister Rong's sake. With such an appearance and temperament, how can Sister Rong marry into a good family?"
Mr. Su asked back: "What's wrong with Sister Rong's appearance and temperament? In my opinion, they are both excellent."
Mrs. Su disapproved and said: "Master, you don't get along with Sister Rong very much. Sister Rong has an average appearance and a temperament that loves to get into trouble and lie. Who would dare to want her from a wealthy family?"
I didn’t expect that I was nothing in my mother’s heart.
Su Yurong's eyes were red with grievance, and there were tears in her eyes.
Suddenly, she felt her hand feel warm. She turned around and saw that it was Fu Zhao who had held her hand.
Fu Zhao pulled Su Yurong to his side and said softly: "Don't be afraid."
Su Yurong nodded and held back tears.
Mr. Su felt irritated when Mrs. Su said, "No matter what, it is impossible for me, Sister Rong, to be a concubine."
Mrs. Su slapped the table and said not to be outdone: "I can't tolerate your refusal to agree to this matter. The Crown Prince's wife is here, and she also agreed!"
"That's wrong," Fu Zhao said in a deep voice, "With so many pairs of ears in the room, who heard that I agreed?"
Mrs. Su frowned, "You will agree sooner or later anyway, right?"
Fu Zhao shook his head, "Madam, don't be so confident. I already said that I can't be the master. Madam, go and be with my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Mrs. Su said reluctantly: "Why can't you be the master? If it doesn't work, just think of some crooked ways. Anyway, the Marquis will always agree to it, right? It's just a concubine, nothing important."
Mr. Su was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted angrily: "That's enough! You can't say it in front of a junior if you are so shameless!"
Mrs. Su was stunned for a moment by Master Su's yell.
But over the years, Mr. Su has always obeyed her words.
Whenever something happens, no matter how strongly Mr. Su objects at the beginning, in the end, Mr. Su will obediently listen to her words.
It's the same this time.
Mrs. Su said: "Master, that's almost it. Have you read all the official documents in your study? If you haven't read them, go back as soon as possible, otherwise you will have to stay up late again."
Seeing that Mrs. Su didn't take her seriously at all, Mrs. Su didn't take his words and anger seriously at all.
Mr. Su felt helpless and tired in his heart.
But facing his daughter whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, Mr. Su's fighting spirit ignited in his heart again.
Mr. Su raised his head and said angrily: "If you dare to send Sister Rong to the Hou Mansion to be a concubine, then I will divorce your wife!"
As soon as these words came out, the room fell into an eerie calm.
After Mrs. Su came to her senses, she suddenly sat down on the ground, slapped her thighs and started crying.
"You heartless man! I have been with you for so many years and have given birth to children for you. Now you think that I am old and old and you want to divorce my wife? I tell you, there is no way! If you dare to divorce your wife, I will divorce you.
Make a fuss! Make a fuss in front of the government and even the emperor! From now on, no one wants to be a human being!"
Mrs. Su looked at her mother-in-law, who looked like a shrew, and put a handkerchief on the corner of her mouth to cover the smile on her lips.
When she was little, she knew that her aunt had a fierce temper.
I didn't expect that after so many years of being pampered and pampered in the Su family, he would still be powerful and his sword would never grow old.
Mrs. Su relied on this trick to keep Master Su under control for so many years.
Mr. Su is a scholar, and he cherishes his own face and the face of the Su family most.
In order to prevent the Su family from becoming the laughing stock of the entire capital, Mr. Su frequently made concessions.
Mrs. Su made various rude requests, but he finally gave in.
Mrs. Su encouraged him to find his married sister and ask for money and a farm shop, so he went.
Mrs. Su asked him to seek benefits from his nephew, and he went.
The result was that he had been indulging Mrs. Su to the point where he had no shame in going to the Marquis Mansion to meet his nephew.
It was also because of his connivance that Su Yurong lived in dire straits in the Su family.
This time, if he indulges her again, Mrs. Su will force Su Yurong to jump into the fire pit.
Mr. Su closed his eyes and said with great exhaustion: "You can go ahead and make trouble, you can go wherever you want. It's better for me to resign and go back to my hometown to farm than to sell my daughter."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Su, who was still crying with her eyes closed, suddenly stopped.
She was simply doubting her ears? What did Mr. Su say? That he wanted to resign and go home to farm?
Madam Su, the young lady, heard clearly, and at the same time she was so frightened that her legs became weak.
If the Su family hadn't come from an official family, she wouldn't have gotten married.
If Mr. Su resigns, won't she also have to become a peasant woman?
Madam Su, the young lady, said in a panic: "Mother, please persuade father, don't let him be impulsive!"
Mrs. Su got up from the ground quickly, looked at Mr. Su in disbelief, and asked: "You want to resign? Resign for this money-losing thing?"
Mr. Su's face was full of tiredness, "You have made troubles over the years, and I am really tired. I will go and submit a letter of resignation to the Holy One now. When I return to my hometown to farm, let's live a clean life for a few days."
Mrs. Su immediately objected, "No! You can't resign. If you resign, won't the futures of our two sons be ruined by you? Do you believe that I will make trouble in front of the elders of the clan! I will go to a house that is related to the Su family by marriage.
If you go ahead and make trouble, the married daughters of the Su family will be implicated by you."
This move again.
Mr. Su is really tired.
Su Yurong walked to Mr. Su's side in small steps. She didn't want Mr. Su to do this for her.
She whispered and timidly said: "Father, I am willing, please don't quarrel with mother."
She had also made up her mind, but it was just death, no big deal.
Mr. Su lowered his head and saw that Su Yurong was obviously very unwilling, but she could only compromise for him.
Mr. Su felt powerless from the bottom of his heart.
He is already old and still being manipulated by others.
No matter how beautiful you are outside, you will be miserable at home.
Mrs. Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister Rong has agreed, so please stop talking nonsense."
