Shengjing Noble

Chapter 15 Can’t argue

These words left Nanny Song speechless. She no longer had the arrogant look she had just now, and even looked at Liu Ruyan for help.

After figuring out the whole story, Liang Youdao's eyes flashed with contempt.

"Mrs. Su, what you did was not very decent."

The instigator, Liu Ruyan, turned pale in an instant. After all, what she cared about most was her dignity!

At this moment, she didn't care that Nanny Song was loyal to her master and was doing this for her, and she said directly: "I thought that this blood swallow belonged to the Su family, but I didn't know that it belonged to Aunt Lu. I'm really sorry, it's all my fault for not disciplining her properly, I hope you can forgive me."

"What's the use of my understanding? It's not mine."

Liang Youdao naturally knew that she was trying to pass the buck, and he despised such hypocritical and pretentious people from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Ruyan looked embarrassed. She looked at Su Lanyin and spoke with some difficulty: "Lanyin, it's all a misunderstanding. Why make such a fuss? We are a family. Can you ask the officials to release Nanny Song?"

If Nanny Song is gone, who will help her fight in the future?

Unfortunately, Su Lanyin didn't buy into her tricks and said calmly, "Madam, are you trying to protect the criminal? If this gets out, people will think that you ordered Nanny Song to do this. Then your reputation as a quiet person will be completely ruined."

"You...if you say that, I have no way to defend myself." Liu Ruyan bit her lips aggrievedly, with her big innocent eyes open as if she had been bullied.

It was this face that seemed extremely artificial in the eyes of others, but it made Su Yongcheng fascinated.

Su Lanyin asked back: "Madam, you have no way to defend yourself, so does that mean you admit it?"

Liu Ruyan clenched her fists. She would never admit to this!

She looked at Nanny Song hesitantly, then at Liang Youdao, and finally gritted her teeth.

"I will never cover up for people around me who make mistakes. You can deal with them according to the law, sir."

When Nanny Song heard this, her eyes widened in horror and she looked at her in disbelief. She had been so confident just now that she would be fine, but now she was visibly panicking.

She knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy: "It's all my fault, Sixth Miss, please spare my life. I didn't mean it. Please forgive me, sir..."

Su Lanyin raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth and looked down at her: "I still appreciate the arrogant face of Madam just now more."

Cuizhu snorted coldly and echoed, "Humph, you are just looking down on others! Can my girl stand up to you now?"

"Sixth Miss, please forgive me. It's all my fault. I won't dare to do it again..."

Nanny Song had her hands handcuffed and could only bend her body and kowtow to beg for mercy, feeling even more remorseful and angry.

She fought for the bird's nest for Liu Ruyan, but in the end, she ended up like this!

It would be a lie to say I wasn't disheartened.

Su Lanyin was too lazy to read it again, and just said calmly: "Master Liang, please enforce the law impartially."

Liang Youdao nodded: "Don't worry, this captain is always strict, come and take this ** slave away!"

"Yes!"

The officers took away Nanny Song, who was crying and begging for mercy, without any explanation.

Su Lanyin bowed slightly: "Thank you, Sir Liang, for disturbing you so late. I will definitely come to thank you another day."

Liang Youdao: "You're welcome, this is what we should do, goodbye!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

The farce ended and the outsiders left. Liu Ruyan could no longer hold back her anger and said through gritted teeth, "Su Lanyin, what on earth are you up to? Do you have to make this family a mess before you stop?"

Hearing this, Su Lanyin only smiled and replied, "Madam, it was you who allowed Nanny Song to steal my mother's blood swallows. Don't forget to pay the price. Blood swallows are in short supply now. For the sake of our family, I will give you 100 taels of silver. I will send someone to pick it up tomorrow."

"One hundred taels? Why don't you just go and rob it!" Liu Ruyan's eyes were red with anger.

"I dare not snatch it. After all, the servants trained by my mother are indeed not as good as Nanny Song."

After saying that, Su Lanyin sneered, turned around and left with her men, disappearing into the night.

Liu Ruyan was so angry that she punched the gate. Her gentle and peaceful expression could no longer be maintained and became ferocious.

……

It's already next month.

The Su family's eldest daughter had just grown up, and Su Lanxin's coming-of-age banquet was originally planned to be held in a grand manner.

But now without Lu Wanjun's financial support, the Su family was stretched to the limit, and Liu Ruyan had no choice but to grit her teeth and use her own dowry to support her daughter.

Although the scene was not spectacular, it was still presentable.

Looking at the clothes and jewelry from the past two years on the table, a hint of displeasure flashed across Su Lanxin's delicate face, but she still maintained an elegant smile.

"Father, why aren't these clothes and jewelry the most fashionable this year? I don't care what I wear to the coming-of-age party, after all, they are all frivolous things. But I'm worried that others will make irresponsible remarks and affect the reputation of the Su family."

Su Yongcheng thought for a while and felt that what he said made sense. If his colleagues who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak saw this, they would definitely laugh at the poverty of his Su family.

Thinking of this, he showed a rare look of dissatisfaction to Liu Ruyan: "Why don't you prepare a fashionable style for Xin'er? She is my only legitimate daughter, and she is both talented and beautiful. If the coming-of-age banquet is too shabby, how will others view our Su family?"

It was the first time that Liu Ruyan was blamed. She pouted in grievance, her eyes sparkling, and she looked like she was about to cry.

"My dear, you also know that I don't value these gold and silver, so how can I understand fashion? Aunt Lu is very knowledgeable, but now she is sick all day and doesn't care about the affairs of the mansion. I have to manage the household and organize banquets, so I really have no power..."

Seeing that she looked tired, Su Yongcheng couldn't help but soften his heart.

"Ruyan, thank you for your hard work."

"I am not afraid of hard work. As long as I can help my husband solve his problems, what does it matter if I die?" She smiled shyly and lowered her head.

Compared with her selflessness, Lu Wanjun's indifference to her own affairs is even more infuriating.

Su Yongcheng said angrily, "This Lu Wanjun is getting more and more arrogant. After all, Lan Xin was also a child she raised with her own hands, but now she is so cold-blooded and indifferent that she doesn't care about me. I have to go ask her what she is doing!"

After saying that, he turned around, flicked his sleeves and strode towards Suiyuexuan.

……

The side room of Suiyuexuan.

Su Lanyin was preparing perfume when Cuizhu suddenly broke into the room.

"Sixth Miss, please go and have a look! The master and the aunt are arguing!"

"My dad is here? Why didn't you inform me in advance?" She put down the incense spoon, stood up and walked out.

Cuizhu explained: "The master came here suddenly, and the servants didn't react."

"It's so sudden. I guess he must have heard something and is here to accuse me. Cuizhu, go get me the account book for last month."

"Yes."

Su Lanyin walked quickly to the main room, and as soon as she entered, she saw Lu Wanjun sitting on the ground with red cheeks and a faint slap mark on her face.
