Shengjing Noble

Lu Wanjun suddenly understood.

Once she kneels down, it means she is admitting her mistake, and that would mean her daughter would suffer.

She can be wronged, but her daughter absolutely cannot!

Lu Wanjun took a deep breath and looked up to meet the old lady's unfriendly eyes.

"Mother, may I ask what my daughter-in-law and Yinyin did wrong? Why do they have to kneel down in public?"

Lu Wanjun had always been filial in front of the old lady and had never refuted anything. Now, this rhetorical question seemed to have stepped on the old lady's tail, making her furious.

"How dare you disobey your mother-in-law's orders? Lu Wanjun, do you still have me as your elder in your eyes?"

"Do you think that Ruyan is generous enough to give you the power to run the family, so you will be the mistress of the Su family? You are such a ruthless person!"

Hearing this, Lu Wanjun felt extremely aggrieved.

Liu Ruyan was generous if she just let him do nothing, but was she considered heartless if she used her own dowry to support the people in the mansion?

She turned her head and looked at Su Yongcheng, hoping that he would stand up and speak a few words for her.

It was a pity that the man had a cold and arrogant look on his face and didn't even bother to give her a glance.

Seeing that she remained silent, the old lady spoke even more harshly: "What are you standing there for? Get down on your knees!"

"Mother, it's obvious that Liu Ruyan was idle and didn't want to be burdened, so she handed the housekeeping job to me. Even if I haven't made any contributions over the years, I have worked hard. How can you say that I am so heartless?"

"presumptuous!"

Su Yongcheng, who had been indifferent just now, suddenly became furious.

"Ruyan is a noble person who doesn't want to compete with you, but you actually said she was idle? For so many years, she has always felt that she owed you a lot for taking the position of wife, and always asked me to be more tolerant of you, but I didn't expect that she would spoil you to be so ignorant of the world!"

Faced with her husband's rebuke, Lu Wanjun's face turned pale.

She just said Liu Ruyan was idle, but he was so angry.

But she was scolded in public by the ancestor, but he didn't stand up to plead for mercy!

Love or not, it's too obvious at this moment!

Liu Ruyan's lips curled up with a hint of pride, but soon she looked aggrieved.

"Mrs. Lu, you really misunderstood me. For so many years, I have always thought that you are Chenglang's original wife, so I handed over the power of managing the household to you. I didn't want to let you down, but I didn't expect... Alas, it's all my fault. I stole your position as the legal wife. I am willing to ask to leave, and I only ask you to stop hating me, wuwuwu..."

Su Yongcheng felt distressed to see his beloved crying. He immediately stepped forward and held her in his arms, carefully wiping away the tears from her cheeks, as if he was protecting a rare treasure.

His tone was full of tenderness and doting: "Why are you crying, Yan'er? It's all my fault. I can't be with you forever, and you have suffered so much for so many years."

Seeing their deep affection, Lu Wanjun felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and tears of humiliation fell like beads from a broken string.

She collapsed and asked, "She was wronged, but what about me?"

"In order to marry you, I broke off relations with my father and used my own dowry to support you in taking the imperial examinations in Beijing!"

"I have sacrificed and worked hard for this family, but in the end, I have become redundant!"

"Su Yongcheng, in your heart, what do my efforts over the years really mean..."

"Shut up!"

The old lady scolded sharply.

"Lu Wanjun, you are howling like a ghost. The Su family's blessings have been ruined by you, a jinx!"

Li Lanxiang echoed in a sarcastic tone, "That's right, you're such a jinx that anyone who messes with you will suffer. Ruyan is lucky, and all her children are outstanding. Look at the ones you gave birth to, they can't even compare to the feet of a legitimate child!"

Su Yongcai sighed and said, "Mrs. Lu, I am not being picky as your younger brother. They are both daughters of the Su family. The legitimate daughter is both talented and beautiful, kind and lively. Look at the sixth daughter you gave birth to. She is simply a born bad seed!"

Lu Wanjun has always been protective of her people, and she immediately went furious. It’s okay to say that about her, but why are they talking about her child!

She wiped her face roughly, ignoring her snot and tears, and started cursing.

"Bullshit! My Yinyin is just fighting back, but your Su Yaozu is the born bad guy!"

"How dare you two bastards say that the child I gave birth to is not good? Don't you even look at your own moral character?"

"If it weren't for me, you would still be eating coarse food in the countryside. You are an ungrateful idiot. Ugh!"

Su Yongcai's face darkened after being scolded. After holding it in for a long time, he blurted out, "You...you are simply unreasonable!"

Li Lanxiang rushed up in frustration and started cursing at Lu Wanjun.

The quarrel between the two shrews was so annoying that the old lady grabbed the teacup and threw it to the ground.

Suddenly, the hall fell silent.

Lu Wanjun's eyes were red and she stiffened her neck, showing a look of refusing to give in. Li Lanxiang, who was standing beside her, was even more unwilling to give in, thinking that she had not been scolded enough.

Looking at the rude appearance of the two people, Su Yongcheng's eyes were almost filled with disgust.

He is a romantic and elegant man praised by everyone in Shengjing City. How could he have such a vulgar concubine?

Once he gets Lu Wanjun's dowry, he must get rid of this shrew immediately!

The old lady slammed the table and cursed, "We are a family of officials after all. How can we quarrel like this? If it gets out, will our Su family still have face? Lu Wanjun, do you know you are wrong? Kneel down quickly!"

Lu Wanjun said angrily: "Mother-in-law, she also quarreled, why did she only let me kneel?"

"you……"

The old lady was about to scold her when Su Lanyin suddenly stepped forward and interrupted her.

"Mom, grandma is right. You are wrong."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned, especially Lu Wanjun.

She was filled with astonishment and was even more confused and puzzled.

Why is her daughter, who had just been so heartfelt with her, now helping outsiders?

Could it be that the kindness he showed in the room just now was just to trick her into handing over the key to the private vault?

Now that his goal has been achieved, he abandoned her without hesitation and stood on the opposite side?

Lu Wanjun was heartbroken and looked at Su Lanyin in disbelief, even her voice couldn't stop trembling.

"Yinyin, even you don't side with your mother?"

Li Lanxiang sneered proudly: "Even your own daughter hates you. If I were you, I would have been too ashamed to live long ago!"

Su Lanyin glanced at her sideways, and said in a lukewarm tone: "Auntie, what you mean is that if you are hated by your own children, you don't deserve to live, right?"

"Uh……"

Li Lanxiang didn't expect that she would suddenly say such words to her. She was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

After all, Su Yaozu usually disliked her as a village woman!

Without waiting for her to think, Su Lanyin stepped forward and bowed.

She was neither humble nor arrogant, but her voice was clear: "Just now, everyone said that the eldest lady gave up the housekeeping power to my mother. She has been wronged for so many years. My mother is just a concubine, but she is in charge of the household. It is really unruly. As her daughter, I am here to sincerely apologize to my grandmother, father, and the eldest lady on behalf of my mother."

Her humble and submissive look made Lu Wanjun feel very uncomfortable, as if her heart was pierced by thousands of arrows.
