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

Standing in the corner, Su Tinggui felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw the people in Nishang Courtyard squandering Lin's dowry money. Even the servants and maids lived a life that surpassed that of the master in the mansion.

Lin's dowry was her own.

But Mrs. Lin was ill, and Su Manman threatened him to return the dowry by using her mother's illness.

He was unwilling but had to give it, but he couldn't bear to see her squandering it like that.

Full of anger, he turned around and returned to the Su Mansion.

As soon as he entered the house, the servant came to report that the old lady had been waiting for the master.

Su Tinggui lowered his head and went straight to Yixiangyuan.

Old Madam Qian was lying on the couch, covered with a quilt, humming uncomfortably.

Ever since the safflower poisoning incident, her health has been much worse than before.

She looked listless and listless all day long, and always liked to lie down when she had nothing to do.

Lying on the couch, she kept tossing and turning, unable to sleep, holding her stomach and groaning.

Su Tinggui was a filial son, and he felt very sad when he saw his mother in such a state.

As soon as he entered the room, he quickly walked to the bed and asked in a warm voice, "Mom, how are you today? Are you feeling better?"

Madam Qian heard the noise and sat up with the help of Nanny Lan. "My stomach is always uncomfortable."

"Tinggui, I see your legs are much smoother now."

Su Tinggui nodded and responded truthfully: "The swelling in my legs has all gone away, and the pain has also decreased, so I can walk without crutches. But I can't walk too far."

“My legs still hurt after walking too much.”

"It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. Thanks to the Ice Stone, your leg injury healed so easily." Old Madam Qian couldn't help but sigh, "If we hadn't benefited from the Lin family, we wouldn't have been able to use the Ice Stone to heal our injuries."

"That's true." Su Tinggui agreed.

"Hey shhh!"

Madam Qian sighed again, "What a pity! I'm old and have suffered such a great disaster. My body will never be able to return to its former state."

"Mom, don't say that." Su Tinggui comforted Madam Qian.

Madam Qian shook her head and said, "I know my own body very well."

"I know exactly how my body became like this."

This sentence has a meaningful meaning.

Su Tinggui could understand the meaning, but they both had a tacit understanding and did not break the window paper.

"Mom, please take good care of yourself."

Su Tinggui consoled her, "Ask Aunt Lan to buy and cook whatever you want to eat. Your body will surely recover."

Su Tinggui said this, but Mrs. Qian said nothing, turned around and lay down.

Su Tinggui was looking for trouble, so he gave Nanny Lan a look and they both left the house together.

In the courtyard, Nanny Lan bowed and replied, "The old lady's appetite has been very poor in recent days, and there's nothing she particularly wants to eat."

"Today, she suddenly wanted to eat amethyst grapes, so she thought of going to Madam Liu to withdraw some silver and ask this old servant to buy them."

"But who knew that Aunt Liu took the second young lady out to buy clothes and jewelry for the flower viewing banquet, and they haven't returned yet."

"After waiting for Madam Liu to return home with great difficulty, she went straight back to Lanxin Garden and never came out again, nor did she come to pay her respects to the old lady."

"I saw that the old lady really liked this, so I went to Lanxin Garden to meet Aunt Liu."

"But Aunt Liu sent a message saying she didn't want to see him."

"I have come here to ask for some silver to buy some amethyst grapes for the old lady."

"Madam Liu didn't show up either. She just said that the money in the mansion's account was low and there was no extra money. It's better not to buy such expensive grapes now."

"In a few months, the purple crystal grapes in the capital should be ripe. They will be everywhere on the streets and cheap and affordable. It's not too late to eat them now."

"What are you talking about, Aunt Liu?"

"The old lady can only eat a few grapes. She's just sick, so she's craving something cool and sweet. That's all she likes."

"She asked the old lady to wait for a few months. After a few months, will the old lady still like that thing?"

Nanny Lan explained ramblingly, "Actually, the old lady has money to buy grapes."

"The old lady just felt that since Concubine Liu was in charge of the household affairs, she should be the one to handle this matter."

"It is filial piety for the younger generation to buy the elders their favorite things."

"Who knew that Madam Liu wouldn't show up, so she refused."

"Now, the old lady is angry."

"She felt that she was truly devoted to Concubine Liu. How could she treat her so harshly just for a little food?"

After hearing what Nanny Lan said, Su Tinggui was also very angry.

Aunt Liu has become more and more daring in recent days.

Does she dare to do anything and has no scruples?

It’s just a few bunches of amethyst grapes. Could it be that the Su family can’t afford them?

At this moment, Su Tinggui's mind flashed through the box of amethyst grapes that was lifted off the carriage in the alley in the backyard.

Before my eyes, I saw the driver picking two grapes, putting them in his mouth, grinning and saying, "How sweet!"

The maids and servants in Nishang Courtyard can eat whatever they want, so why should the old lady of Su Mansion be so embarrassed just to have a few bites?

Su Tinggui went to Lanxinyuan angrily.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw broken porcelain scattered all over the floor, and several new boxes piled up in the corner.

The lid of the box was open, and inside it were a box of brightly colored brocades and satins, a box of gold and silver hairpins and pearl earrings, and a box of various rouge and powder.

Aunt Liu sat limply in front of the couch, looking distraught.

She smashed things all over the floor and bought several boxes of things. What else could she be dissatisfied with?

He even dared to treat his mother harshly.

Suddenly, Su Tinggui became furious.

"Did you go shopping today?" he asked through gritted teeth.

Concubine Liu had never seen the master look so ferocious towards her. She stood up suddenly, glanced at the debris on the ground, and answered blankly, "Yes."

"Were all those things bought today?"

"Yes."

"You smashed all the things on the ground?"

"Yes...no" Aunt Liu wanted to admit it.

After all, when she gets angry, she always throws a tantrum and throws things at the slightest provocation.

The master knows about this.

Every time she gets angry, she throws whatever she can get her hands on.

Every time, after letting her vent her emotions to her heart's content, he would hug her and coax her, "Don't use so much force, be careful not to hurt yourself."

In all the years they had been married, he had never minded the fact that she would throw things when she was angry.

In the past, she would have admitted it readily.

But today, looking at the master's expression, she immediately changed her words, "It was me... I accidentally broke it."

One was accidental, but were all these broken things accidental?

"Pa!" A crisp slap sounded in the air.

Aunt Liu covered the burning half of her face and looked at the person in front of her with horror.
