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

Time seemed to stand still as the two looked at each other.

Su Tinggui's palms felt slightly numb and his heart was shocked.

This was his cousin whom he had loved since childhood. Before, no matter what she did, he would always forgive her, understand her, and pamper her.

But for some reason, her actions repeatedly crossed his bottom line, causing him to attack her.

"Aren't all these broken porcelain pieces on the ground silver?"

Su Tinggui's face turned cold as he questioned, "Aren't those boxes of brocade, silk, hairpins, rouge, and powder all worth silver?"

"The money of the Su Mansion can be wasted on you and spent on Jiaojiao, so why can't it be used and consumed by mother?"

When mentioning this, Su Tinggui felt his whole face burning.

The maids and servants in Nishang Courtyard can eat the amethyst grapes at will, but why is it so difficult for the old lady?

Thinking of this, the fire in his heart grew even stronger.

Concubine Liu covered half of her face and was stunned for a long time. When she came to her senses, she burst into tears and said, "Master, how could you hit me again?"

"I don't want to hit you, but why did you treat mother like that? She is your aunt and has always loved you dearly."

Su Tinggui became more and more angry as he spoke. "She's just sick and greedy, so she ate some grapes. Can't you give her some money to buy them for her?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't buy it for you."

Aunt Liu's eyes were red with tears, and she said aggrievedly, "Those purple crystal grapes are rare. Nanny Lan sent someone to ask about them, so I asked my servant to buy them."

"The only shop in the capital that sells amethyst grapes only sells one basket a day."

"When the servant went to buy them, the only basket of amethyst grapes had already been sold."

"Master, I am truly wronged."

"When Nanny Lan came to ask again, I told her I was sold out and would buy more another day."

Aunt Liu sobbed, "She mistakenly thought that I was unwilling to buy it for the old lady."

"Master, if others want me so much, that's fine."

"We are husband and wife, and we have been together for decades. How could you miss me so much?"

"Last time, we returned Lin's dowry, and there wasn't much money left in the mansion's account."

"Even if it's not much, we can't let the old lady suffer a loss of food!"

After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she sobbed in grievance.

After she explained this, Su Tinggui felt a wave of pity in his heart.

He was too impulsive just now.

Without understanding the whole story, he took out his anger on Aunt Liu and made her bear everything.

He felt guilty, but couldn't afford to apologize.

"You should explain this matter clearly to your mother."

Su Tinggui softened his voice: "If you don't explain things clearly to each other and cause misunderstandings, you will always be the one who suffers."

"Master, ever since the Red Flower incident, there has been a rift between mother and me."

Concubine Liu threw herself into Su Tinggui's arms and said in a coquettish voice, "Cui Liu is my maidservant, and I have always valued her."

"Who knows that people's hearts are hidden? I blame myself for being blind and not seeing her true face, which is why I gave her the opportunity to take advantage of me."

"She deserves to be cut into pieces after doing something like that."

"Now she is gone, but because of her, there is a rift between mother and me."

"She may think that Cui Liu's actions were instructed by me."

"She has been making things difficult for me lately."

"Now, because of the matter of the amethyst grapes, let the master come to question me."

"I am not wronged, I just want you to be happy and content."

"If beating me can dispel her suspicion, then the physical pain I suffer won't be a big deal."

There are few women in the world who are so considerate and gentle.

Su Tinggui once again felt guilty for his impulsiveness.

He reached out and hugged Aunt Liu in his arms, saying with a pleasant face, "I know you've suffered a lot of grievances. Mother has been unwell recently and her temper has become withdrawn. You have to be more understanding."

"As for the eldest girl..."

When I think about it, Lin’s days are numbered.

After Su Manman forcibly took away Lin's dowry, she took a group of maids and servants and squandered the money like that.

In particular, the only basket of purple crystal grapes in the capital was brought to the mouths of the maids and servants in Nishang Courtyard, which caused a big quarrel between my mother and concubine Liu.

Thinking of this, Su Tinggui felt an indescribable anger in his heart.

"Find a matchmaker and find a family as soon as possible."

"Let's hire a nanny and prepare a flower viewing banquet."

"If I were to fall in love with a prince or nobleman at the flower viewing banquet and find a good family for myself, I would have a good life ahead of me."

Aunt Liu snuggled in Su Tinggui's arms and hugged him tighter, "Master, don't worry, the matchmaker will be here tomorrow."

"Okay. Don't get angry for no reason anymore."

Su Tinggui advised: "The government is short of silver, and the fragments on this ground were also bought with silver."

"It fell all over the floor, and it wouldn't be good if the fragments hurt you."

Aunt Liu nodded obediently, "I understand."

"Master," Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Actually, when I went to buy amethyst grapes today, I didn't get any. But I saw the peach blossoms in the Nishang courtyard and bought a whole basket."

"The masters of Nishang Courtyard are only Lin and the eldest daughter."

"That's how much they can eat. The remaining grapes will go bad if left for too long."

"How can a young lady enjoy such a good thing all by herself? This is unreasonable!"

"Master, even if we don't covet her things, we can't let her do selfish things."

"Master, our Su family cannot raise a daughter who is unfilial. After she gets married, she will be criticized and criticized."

Aunt Liu's words of sowing discord happened to hit Su Tinggui's heart.

Today, when he saw the servants and maids in Nishang Courtyard eating amethyst grapes, it felt like a thorn in his flesh.

The thorn was still there, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, Aunt Liu's few words of instigation were like an external force swinging the thorn back and forth, pushing the thorn inward.

Su Tinggui couldn't stand it anymore.

Yes.

Why couldn’t his mother eat amethyst grapes even though she was sick and wanted to?

In the Nishang Courtyard, the servants were enjoying themselves while eating grapes. They were extremely happy.

"I want to go to Nishangyuan in person."

Su Tinggui was filled with anger and went straight from Lanxin Garden to Nishang Courtyard.

Aunt Liu had been in a bad mood, but when she saw Su Tinggui going to settle the score with the eldest girl, her mood improved for a moment.

She specially called a few maids and followed Su Tinggui.

In the Nishang courtyard, Taohong had just set the table for lunch.

Su Manman and her mother had just sat down at the table and were about to pick up their chopsticks when they heard a commotion coming from outside the yard.

Shuqi's voice was loud: "Master, the lady is ill, it is not appropriate for so many people to visit her."

"Why is it inappropriate? How can a husband, when he comes to see his wife, have to pass by a bunch of slaves like you?"

Su Tinggui shouted angrily: "Get out of here!"
