Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

Seeing that Su Manman was willing to speak up, Su Tinggui was excited and said, "Hurry up and tell me."

"There is one condition for sharing the Ice Stone with my grandmother," she said.

"you say!"

"I want my mother's dowry, not a tael of silver less." She said word by word.

"How can this be?"

Su Tinggui puffed his beard and glared, "Your mother has been married into the Su family for twenty years, how could her dowry be preserved intact?"

"So, the Su family has used up all of her dowry?" she asked back.

"Your father and I have been officials for so many years and have also acquired a lot of property."

"Okay, hand over the key to my mother's private vault, and I'll convert any missing items into silver according to the dowry list."

"Su Manman, are you threatening me?"

"That's the condition." Su Manman said loudly, "Besides, my mother's dowry and the key to the private vault should be managed by her."

"She is unable to manage?" Su Tinggui retorted.

"Now I have it, I can do it."

Su Manman said in a deep voice: "If you are willing, give me the key, send someone to quickly count the things and make a repayment list, and then you can bring grandma over."

"If you don't want to, I'm sorry I won't accompany you. I need to go back and catch up on some sleep."

"Su Manman, that person is your grandmother."

"My mother is still unconscious in the house. Tell me, who should I save first?"

She looked Su Tinggui over and over. "Grandmother is your mother. In order to save your mother, you are unwilling to hand over your wife's dowry? If this gets out, Master Su's reputation will probably be ruined."

My mother is in critical condition.

Su Tinggui knew that the girl in front of him would never agree easily.

Looking around her, all the maids and guards in her yard were martial artists.

If he really fights, I'm afraid he won't be able to gain any advantage.

If we delay any longer, my mother’s health will be in danger.

"Okay, I agree."

Su Tinggui summoned the housekeeper Zhang and asked him to hand over the key to his wife's private vault.

Butler Zhang prevaricated for a long time, hesitatingly saying, "The key is in the hands of Concubine Liu."

"Have her hand over the key."

Aunt Liu, who was waiting for news in Yixiang Garden, did not receive the Ice Stone.

It was the steward Zhang who came with orders to ask for the key to the private vault in order to complete the dowry for Lin.

Aunt Liu was suddenly dazed.

She ran to Nishang Courtyard and grabbed Su Tinggui's sleeve, "Master, how could you give the key to the storehouse to the young lady?"

Those items are all worth pure silver.

She has stolen a lot over the years, how can she make up for it?

"My mother is critically ill. In order to save her, what if I give her the key?"

Su Tinggui's self-esteem was at work.

Yes!

When he first met Lin, his family had fallen on hard times and he was a poor scholar.

Therefore, others thought that he had climbed up the ranks of the general's mansion and taken advantage of the Lin family.

So many years have passed, the people in the general's mansion were demoted, Lin married into the Su family, and he was promoted all the way.

He had a salary and money, and he also bought farms and shops, which brought in income every year.

He no longer cared about Lin's dowry.

"Hand it over quickly."

Aunt Liu's hesitant and evasive behavior seemed to confirm his guilt of wanting to embezzle Lin's dowry.

Su Tinggui felt particularly uncomfortable and said hurriedly, "Hand it over and have someone compare it with the dowry list. If there is any shortage without reason, make up the silver."

This little bit of silver in the mansion can still be taken out.

When Su Tinggui said this, Aunt Liu felt like the sky was falling.

Faced with his tough attitude, she had no choice but to hand over the key.

Su Manman took the key and handed it to Nanny Li, "Take Taohong with you and go check it out."

Nanny Li couldn't help but say, "Yes."

Several people took advantage of the night and hurried to work, fearing that the master would change his mind later.

"Can i do it now?"

After handing over the key, Su Tinggui said confidently: "Come here, move the ice stone."

"Wait." Su Manman stopped him.

"What else do you want?" Su Tinggui was impatient.

"My mother is still in a coma and cannot be carried. Let's bring the old lady here."

"How is that possible?"

Su Tinggui said in disbelief: "She is the elder after all."

"Every life is a life." Su Manman continued, "If you want to save her, stop talking nonsense and bring her here."

She said nothing more and turned back to the house.

Su Tinggui was anxious and had no choice but to order housekeeper Zhang to find someone to carry the old lady away.

The main house of Nishangyuan is much larger than that of Cuixiangyuan.

The square table in the middle of the room was moved away, a soft couch was placed instead, and Old Madam Qian was brought in and placed on it.

The ice stone is placed between the big bed and the soft couch.

As soon as I entered the house, the air became a little colder.

Old Madam Qian, who had been feeling extremely hot and humming, became quieter, closed her eyes, and hummed uncomfortably.

Su Tinggui had an injured leg, so he should have been given a place to lie down and rest.

But there really isn't room for another couch in the house.

As soon as Su Manman returned to the room, she ran straight to the soft couch by the window, lifted the quilt and went to sleep.

He didn't take his meaning into consideration at all.

Rushuang brought two screens and placed them around Old Madam Qian's couch to block Su Tinggui's inquiring gaze.

Su Tinggui's leg was injured and he felt severe pain at night.

Today, after tossing and turning for half a day, my legs are already hurting so much that I can't bear it anymore.

Originally, we should find him a place to lie down and rest.

But none of the maids in the house greeted him or cared about him.

Helpless, he asked someone to bring an octagonal chair and sat against the side of the screen.

Outside the screen is the icy stone.

When the injured leg leaned against the icy stone through the screen, the piercing pain soon dissipated for the most part.

This ice stone is really useful!

At this moment, he didn't care that the Eight Immortals Chair was uncomfortable. He leaned back on it and fell asleep comfortably.

In Lanxin Garden, Aunt Liu was waiting for the master to come back.

I waited and waited, but there was no sign of him.

Someone was sent to ask, and the reply was that the master had fallen asleep in the Nishang Courtyard.

Aunt Liu was stunned at that moment and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Ever since Lin became pregnant with her eldest daughter, the master never spent the night in Lin's house again.

how come?

Why did you suddenly stay overnight at Lin’s place?

Even if Lin was critically ill, there was nothing he could do.

Even if he needs to take care of the old lady for her own sake, he cannot stay with Lin.

Aunt Liu couldn't sit still any longer, and despite Su Jiaojiao's obstruction, she ran to Nishangyuan to look for someone.

Unexpectedly, Butler Zhang was waiting at the door early, and when he saw her, he stopped her.

"Master said that Concubine Liu should rest well in her room tonight and not come here to cause trouble."

Butler Zhang hesitated and said, "Master... said that if Concubine Liu... makes a fuss and disturbs the old lady's recovery, she will definitely not be forgiven."

Aunt Liu immediately became depressed.

Mother is Su Tinggui's bottom line.

She didn't dare act rashly.

Dispirited, she returned to her room and lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep.

After falling asleep, she dreamed that Lin had snatched the master away, and she chased after him desperately but could never catch up.

Su Manman slept well that night.

After getting out of bed in the morning, I saw Old Madam Qian lying on the bed through the gap between the two screens.

After a night of tossing and turning, she looked embarrassed, with blood stains between her nose and lips turning pale, as if she had aged a dozen years in an instant.

Her eyes darkened, she reached out to take his pulse, and understood.

"What are you doing?"

From the side, Su Tinggui's stern questioning voice was heard.

Su Manman withdrew her hand and smiled faintly, "My dear father, you should ask who did what to grandma?"

Su Tinggui's expression froze. "What are you talking about?"

"Taking an overdose of century-old ginseng will cause discomfort to the body, but the effects won't be so rapid and immediate."

The corners of her lips curled up slightly. "You should find another doctor and do a thorough investigation to find out what caused Grandma's illness?"

Su Tinggui's face was filled with fear, his lips trembling and he couldn't speak.

Does she know medical skills?
