Shengjing Noble

She had already beaten him, and she said that only because she was too angry and wanted to scare Su Shengming, but who knew that this stubborn guy would not give in.

"Okay, you have four children anyway, and I'm the most useless one. You've been wanting to beat me to death for a long time, so just beat me to death right now! Humph, no wonder dad doesn't like you. The eldest lady can tolerate me, but you, my own mother, want to beat me to death at every turn!"

"You...you bastard, I gave birth to you in vain!"

Lu Wanjun was furious and raised the cane in her hand to hit him.

Although Su Shengming talked back, he didn't dare to dodge. He shrank his neck and closed his eyes, intending to grit his teeth and endure it.

The pain that could be imagined did not come.

He opened his eyes and saw Su Lanyin holding Lu Wanjun's hand.

"Mother, anger is harmful to your health. Be careful not to get tired."

Su Shengming was deeply moved, thinking silently: Sixth sister really loves me, it's worth it that I took you with me even when I was a kid stealing bird eggs, wuwuwu...

He was just feeling moved when Su Lanyin took the cane into her hands with a wicked smile on her face.

"Mom, you take a rest, I'll do the fighting!"

As he spoke, he waved the cane in his hand.

Su Shengming's face turned pale. Thinking of the slap he received in the gambling house, he still felt a burning pain on his cheek.

He quickly stood up and ran out the door, cursing as he ran: "Su Lanyin, you have no conscience..."

She stopped only after watching the figure rush out of the yard, her eyes filled with coldness.

Lu Wanjun leaned back in her chair, her eyes red with anger.

Seeing this, Su Lanyin closed the door and went over to comfort her.

"Mom, Fourth Brother was just alienated by Liu Ruyan. He still cares about you in his heart."

Lu Wanjun felt so aggrieved that she could no longer hold back her tears.

"Yinyin, I am indeed sorry for the fourth child. When I gave birth to him and the third child, I not only had to take care of Liu Ruyan who was pregnant, but also served my mother-in-law and managed the household. There were so many chores inside and outside the house that I simply couldn't spare the time to take care of two newborn children."

"At that time, your third brother was weak and sickly, but the fourth brother was very strong, so I could only keep the third brother by my side and leave the fourth brother to Li Ma's care. Over the years, I have indeed cared for him much less than you have."

"But how can a bowl of water be truly balanced? I don't have three heads and six arms, how can I manage it? The palms and backs of my hands are all flesh and blood. After all, he is my own flesh and blood, how can I not care about him?"

"Now that he has gone astray, it is all my fault as a mother. I have only been focusing on the Su family over the years, but have forgotten to devote all my heart and soul to raising my own children. I am not worthy of being your mother..."

Seeing Lu Wanjun crying and blaming herself, Su Lanyin felt heartbroken.

"Mom, this is not your fault. Someone is trying to harm my fourth brother!"

"what?"

Lu Wanjun immediately wiped away her tears and looked at her seriously.

"Yinyin, don't say that."

Su Lanyin knew that she had a hot temper. If she told the truth, Lu Wanjun would probably go straight to Liu Ruyan to confront her.

There is no evidence to kill the enemy at the moment, and acting impulsively will only alert the enemy and lose the opportunity.

Thinking of this, her eyes sparkled, and she said softly, "My fourth brother was led astray by someone. It just so happens that I am looking for servants these days. When the time comes, I will assign him a few capable guides, and he will naturally change for the better."

Lu Wanjun was skeptical: "Really? Do you think the fourth brother can really change?"

"He will definitely change as long as I'm here, but you have to promise me one thing."

"As long as your fourth brother can quit gambling, I will agree to do a hundred things, not just one."

"From now on, just take care of your health. Don't worry about the Su family's mess or my brothers' affairs. Leave everything to me. You have to trust me 100%, okay?"

"This……"

Lu Wanjun was hesitant. It wasn't that she didn't trust Su Lanyin, but she had worked hard for half her life and knew how hard it was, and she didn't want her daughter to bear such a heavy burden.

Su Lanyin obviously understood what she was hesitating about, and assured her, "Mom, if I feel tired, I will tell you."

"Okay." She nodded reluctantly and agreed.

……

Early in the morning, Su Lanyin ordered Nanny Li to gather all the maids and servants of Suiyuexuan to the yard.

Except for a few elderly people who came with Lu Wanjun from her mother's home, almost all the rest were secretly placed in by Liu Ruyan.

Each of them took the money from Suiyuexuan and used it to honor another master. Today is the day to settle the accounts.

Su Lanyin sat upright on the pearwood armchair, with an indifferent expression and a cold and arrogant attitude.

She glanced over it, then slowly picked up the tea served by Cuizhu and spoke while sipping it.

"As you all know, now that the Su family is no longer managed by Madam Lu, Suiyuexuan will not need so many people to serve. Today, I will give you freedom. If you want to stay, stand aside. If you want to serve in other rooms, just stand where you are. Let's begin."

She didn't waste any words and directly gave these servants the freedom to choose.

If I were tactful and left now, perhaps she would forgive me for the fact that I had no choice.

But if you still refuse to leave and want to continue being a traitor, then don't blame her for being rude.

Fortunately, most of them are relatively sober. First, there is no future in following a powerless concubine. Second, concubine Lu is not in charge of the treasury, so the rewards will definitely not be as good as before. It is better to work for the eldest lady. Presumably, the daughter of the marquis will be more generous!

Thinking of this, all the servants stood there motionless.

Su Lanyin raised a cold smile, shook her head and sighed: "Okay, very good..."

As expected, they are all Liu Ruyan’s people!

Just when she thought that everyone was about to leave, a tall and straight servant walked straight up to her.

"The servant is willing to stay."

He stood with his head bowed, standing out among the other servants.

Others looked at him with contempt in their eyes.

What good is it to follow a concubine who has fallen out of favor and lost her power? What a fool!

Su Lanyin curled her lips: "Are you sure you want to stay?"

A'mo nodded, his eyes frank and firm.

"Okay." She smiled and looked at the others, "Besides him, is there anyone else left?"

After the words fell, there was silence. Only three or five people stood up hesitantly, and the rest lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

"So, the rest of you have to go? Well, in that case..."

Before Su Lanyin finished her words, Liwen, the second-class maid standing beside her, suddenly came out and knelt in front of her.

"Sixth Miss...I want to leave too."

Liwen, like Cuizhu, is a maid who has been with her since childhood.

Su Lanyin was not surprised that she had the idea of ​​leaving.

Because before she died in her previous life, she realized that the real traitor was Liwen!

"Where do you want to go?" she asked in a deep voice with a cold look on her face.

Liwen raised her head, with a righteous look on her face: "Fifth Miss said that if I go over to serve her, she will promote me to a first-class maid, and also help me get married to Ah Cheng."
