Shengjing Noble
Chapter 16 Real Money
Su Yongcheng stood in the center, looking down at others with a very stern expression.
"Mother!"
Su Lanyin immediately rushed over to help Lu Wanjun up and carefully checked her injuries.
The corners of his mouth were broken and a trace of blood was oozing out.
hateful!
She subconsciously turned around and glared at Su Yongcheng with murderous intent in her eyes, as if she was going to cut him into pieces in the next moment.
Lu Wanjun also realized that the aura around her was too sharp, and quickly grabbed her arm.
"Yinyin, Mom is fine, don't worry!"
When Su Yongcheng met Su Lanyin's gaze, his heart paused, as if he was really shocked, but he immediately reacted and glared back.
He shouted angrily, "What are you looking at? Rebellious girl, what's that look in your eyes? You're just like your mother, you don't know what's good for you!"
Lu Wanjun wanted to pull Su Lanyin away. After all, it was a conflict between elders, and she didn't want to implicate her children.
But Su Lanyin didn't seem ready to give up. She pushed her hand away, took a step forward and stood in front of Su Yongcheng.
"I don't know what my mother did wrong to deserve such punishment from my father."
Facing the questioning, Su Yongcheng was unreasonable but arrogant. He said sternly: "Shut up, you have no right to speak here, get out of here, or I will beat you too!"
Seeing this, Lu Wanjun immediately wanted to step forward to block her daughter like an old hen protecting her chicks, but was pushed behind her again.
Su Lanyin's look was not fearful, but rather she looked more calm than ever before.
She said coldly, "Okay, Daddy, if you want to beat me, then go ahead. I won't dare hide. But don't forget, tomorrow is Su Lanxin's coming-of-age party. If mother and I show up in front of everyone with wounds all over our bodies, I'm afraid that outsiders will say that you, Lord Su, abused my aunt and my daughter."
"Not only that, my mother has been kind to you. If people knew how you treated her, you would be accused of repaying kindness with enmity!"
Every word she said hit Su Yongcheng hard.
"you you……"
But he just raised his hand and didn't dare to put it down. He kept weighing and calculating in his mind.
This Lu Wanjun has always been protective of his people. He can tolerate being wronged, but if his children are wronged, he will never forgive him.
Thinking of this, he threw away his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and glared at the mother and daughter.
"Look at what a bastard you gave birth to. He has no manners or manners at all!"
Su Lanyin sneered, "If a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of his father. I have no rules and manners, so it is all your fault, Daddy!"
"You... Lu Wanjun, you don't even care about your good daughter. You are so sharp-tongued. I think she will die from this mouth sooner or later!"
Lu Wanjun angrily retorted: "My daughter is blessed. I promise she won't die before Su Lanxin! You want me to use my dowry to buy jewelry for that ungrateful bastard? Dream on!"
Su Yongcheng was furious: "Don't forget that she is the child you raised!"
At that time, Liu Ruyan gave birth to a son and a daughter, but she was so spoiled that she couldn't bear the hardship of raising children.
So he left his legitimate son Su Shenghao and legitimate daughter Su Lanxin to be taken care of by Lu Wanjun, and spent the whole day happily accompanying Su Yongcheng under the moonlight.
At that time, the old lady's words and deeds showed her great concern for the legitimate children. In order to avoid being criticized, Lu Wanjun devoted more to Su Lanxin and Su Shenghao than to her own children.
Not only did he spend a lot of money to hire a master to cultivate their talents, but he also left the best food and clothing for them.
But even so, Su Lanxin and Su Shenghao did not feel grateful at all. Instead, they looked down on her status from the bottom of their hearts and even treated her like the Su family's old maid.
Now, Lu Wanjun had finally gotten rid of the power of housekeeper and could finally enjoy a few days of peace and quiet.
Unexpectedly, Su Yongcheng would plot against her again!
Tolerable or unbearable!
Just then, Cuizhu took the account book and handed it to Su Lanyin before leaving.
"Dad, although my mother raised my fifth sister, she is the eldest lady's flesh and blood after all. It is not my mother's turn to use the dowry to subsidize this coming-of-age banquet. If it gets out and others say that the Su family used the concubine's dowry to hold a coming-of-age banquet for the legitimate daughter, I'm afraid everyone will laugh at them!"
"Who would know if you don't tell me?" Su Yongcheng shouted righteously.
Su Lanyin calmly opened the account book and turned to all the expenses of Lu Wanjun's private storage for the Su family last month.
"Father, your monthly salary is limited. Outsiders can tell at a glance how much you spend. Can't others guess who pays for the extra money?"
She handed over the account book.
"Dad, you have always been aloof and you certainly disdain such things as living off others. My mother was willing to contribute to the Su family before, so I won't say anything. But grandmother has deprived my mother of her right to be the housekeeper, so you have to make up for the household expenses last month, right?"
Just as Su Yongcheng was about to speak, Su Lanyin interrupted him. Her little mouth kept chattering, not giving the other person a chance to speak.
"Dad, if you give all this to mother, then as the fifth sister's mother, it would be reasonable for her to buy a few sets of decent jewelry for her coming-of-age gift. What do you think?"
Su Yongcheng was suddenly speechless. He wanted to get angry, but after being interrupted, he didn't know where to start.
He flipped through the account book and found that Lu Wanjun had spent over a thousand taels of silver for the Su family in the first half month alone.
You won't know how shocking it is until you see it.
The old lady's medicine alone costs more than three hundred taels, not to mention his official receptions and farewells, as well as the food, clothing, housing and transportation of everyone in the mansion...
There are so many that it makes people feel dizzy and confused!
The anger in Su Yongcheng's eyes was completely extinguished by these numbers. After a long while, he raised his head, revealing a dark face.
He prided himself on being as pure and elegant as the wind and as proud as the moon, but he forgot that it was Lu Wanjun's real money that lifted him up to this level.
If he didn't return these, how could he confidently ask her to pay for jewelry and clothes for Su Lanxin?
Su Lanyin saw the hesitation and guilt in his eyes, and changed the subject to smile.
"Father, it's not that Mother is calculating these material possessions from you. It's just that she doesn't have much money left. She wasn't feeling well a few days ago, so I took some blood swallows from the storehouse for her to nourish her, but the eldest lady snatched all five bowls away and even had Nanny Song beat up Nanny Li."
"What did you say?" Su Yongcheng's eyes were full of confusion. "Are you saying that Ruyan stole Lu Wanjun's bird's nest? How is that possible? She is the daughter of the Marquis's family. She has always been as calm as a chrysanthemum and never fights or competes. How could she cause a fight over a few bowls of bird's nest?"
Su Lanyin lowered her head, hiding the evil smile on her lips.
She knew that Liu Ruyan would keep this matter secret and not let Su Yongcheng know.
Today gives her the perfect opportunity to settle all new and old grudges together!
She pretended to be panicked and said with her lips half covered: "What? Dad didn't know? It's all my fault. I was too talkative..."
She didn't need to say anything more, she just needed to make a strong gesture, Su Yongcheng would have no choice but to believe her!
It’s time to let his stupid father see Liu Ruyan’s true face!
