Su Qishun choked and was about to continue defending Zhao Qingwan.

There was a burst of noise coming from outside, and soon a little maid came in hurriedly.

"Greetings to the old ancestor, the Marquis, the Marquis's wife; the eldest lady, the second mistress and the second lady are here."

Liang snorted coldly on the spot.

Hong also put away her aggressive look.

Thinking of Su Qishun's protection of Zhao Qingwan just now, she couldn't help but cast some glances at Zhao Qingwan.

I thought Zhao Qingwan would stop while she was ahead, but who knew this little bitch would dare to flirt with Su Qishun in front of her! !

The anger that was pent up in my heart was showing signs of wanting to explode.

At this moment, Ji Lanshuang slowly walked into the main hall with the help of Nanny Deng, followed by Su Sui'an, who also needed the help of a maid.

Hong swallowed back her anger again.

Liang looked around and found that Su Jinchi did not appear, so he immediately took action.

"You are useless slaves who are disloyal. Can't you even deliver a little kid?"

This was the first time Ji Lanshuang heard unpleasant words coming out of Liang's mouth.

In the past, even if Liang disliked their second branch, she would not have done it so obviously.

Today, she seemed to have something to rely on and treated the second wife as a slave.

Ji Lanshuang frowned and was about to open his mouth to refute, but he felt his sleeve tightened.

She turned around and saw Su Sui'an shaking his head gently at her.

Ji Lanshuang tightly grasped the handkerchief and said nothing more.

Unable to wait for the expected rebuttal and unable to find a point to attack, Liang felt that she could not save face and angrily called out the name, "Ji, do you admit your guilt?"

Ji Lanshuang was confused a moment ago, but soon understood Liang's intention, and the respectfulness on her face suddenly became less serious.

"I wonder what 'sin' the old lady is talking about?"

Liang reached out and slammed the table beside her, "You teach your children to disrespect their elders and not know the rules. This is your good upbringing."

"Madam, what you said is really funny."

Before Ji Lanshuang could answer Liang's words, Su Sui'an could not help but sneer and said, "Didn't you say that mother was ill and couldn't teach me and Chi'er well, so you asked Auntie to find a tutor for us? Chi'er and I came here every day those days. Were we here to pay our respects to the dog?"

"Su Sui'an, you..."

“Old lady, don’t be so anxious to refute,” Su Sui’an stepped forward and blocked Ji Lanshuang behind him, smiling as he faced Liang’s anger.

"But it's true. When it comes to rules, no one in this mansion can compare to Miss Zhao. She does good deeds outside every day. She even goes to the Huguo Temple to interpret dreams and prays for the people of the world. Now many people are still discussing whether Miss Zhao has done some earth-shattering good deeds when she came back to the mansion with her hair disheveled. The rules of the first house are really good."

Seeing that Liang's attack failed, Su Sui'an dragged Zhao Qingwan in again. Su Qishun was furious on the spot, "You evil creature, why did you drag your cousin into this?"

"My Lord, you are so funny. In terms of blood relationship, Zhao Qingwan and I may not have much blood relationship with you, but in terms of friendship since childhood, I have been growing up in the Marquis' Mansion, and most of the expenses in the public treasury over the years have been paid by my mother, while Zhao Qingwan is just an adopted daughter who has been raised by you for five years. Logically speaking, whether it is childhood friendship or the help my second branch has given to the Marquis' Mansion, you should be closer to us. Why is it that when it comes to you, an outsider is closer to you?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Hong's hand holding the handkerchief trembled.

Su Sui'an's words reminded her once again that Zhao Qingwan's eyes looked so similar to the Marquis's. No matter how slow she was, she noticed tonight that Su Qishun treated Zhao Qingwan differently.

Su Sui'an clearly felt the change in Hong's aura. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. Before Su Qishun could speak, she pretended to be puzzled and said, "It's strange to say, Lord Hou, a few days ago I met someone who looked very similar to Zhao Qingwan near Lvliu Hall..."

Before Su Sui'an could finish her words, Su Qishun interrupted her hastily, "In this world, people are just similar."

"Really?" Su Sui'an's eyes and eyebrows were full of inquiry, especially her pair of clear eyes. When there was no emotion in them, they were like a sharp blade that went straight to the heart. If you were not careful, everything in your heart would be thoroughly dissected by her.

"I heard that the lady near Green Willow Hall came to Luojing five years ago and has been claiming to be a widow. But the strange thing is that two days ago, I found that Zhao Qingwan seemed to have sent Jiaoyue to give jewelry and clothes to the lady there..."

"That's enough." Liang interrupted angrily, "Even if Wan'er gave something to that...woman, it was just a charity. What does it have to do with you? I came here today to see if you black-hearted people feel guilty for doing such a good deed."

Liang changed the subject in a pretentious manner and raised her chin towards Nanny Zhao beside her, who clapped her hands twice.

A bloody corpse was carried up and placed in front of Su Sui'an and her daughter.

It was the first time that Ji Lanshuang and Hong saw an unprocessed corpse so directly. The strong smell of blood mixed with an indescribable stench hit them, and Ji Lanshuang could not help but dry heave.

Hong's physique was better than Ji Lanshuang's, but when he saw such a corpse, he was still frightened and his face turned pale.

It was just that Su Sui'an and his mother were in front of her, and she didn't want to lose face, so she forced herself to stay calm and maintain it.

Liang's expression was equally grim. "Do you know this person?"

"Madam, you are so funny. This person is covered in blood and I can't even see his original appearance. How can I know if I know him or not?"

The corners of Su Sui'an's mouth curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"But, I heard from the servants at Yu Xiaozhu that this person was seen frequently appearing in your yard before." Su Qishun interrupted.

Liang seemed to have discovered some great secret, and looked at Su Sui'an with disgust, "You are about to get married, but you are so unruly..."

Su Sui'an looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Now that the old lady said that, I remember that I did see this person before. But after I recognized him, he knocked me out and set fire to my room. My wedding dress was burned in the fire. How can the old lady tell me to explain to the people in the Duke Gu's Mansion?"

She had planned everything, but she had never expected that Su Sui'an would move out of Duke Gu's mansion because of the wedding dress. Liang was so angry that she lost her voice, "You..."

"You evil creature, you still don't repent even when you are about to die." Su Qishun shouted angrily, causing the others present to tremble involuntarily.

In the eyes of most people, Su Qishun has always been a good-tempered man who dotes on his wife. His sudden rage was something no one could have expected.

Except Su Sui'an.
