When Lin heard the noise, she dropped her chopsticks on the table in fright and said in panic, "Your father is here. What is he doing here?"

A few days ago, she was in a coma.

In fact, sometimes people who are in a coma cannot wake up, but they are actually conscious.

So, when she was unconscious, she heard clearly what Su Tinggui was shouting in the yard.

After this incident, she completely understood Su Tinggui's character and gave up on him.

Picking up the dropped chopsticks and holding them in her hand, Lin said coldly, "I'll go take a look."

"Mom, please don't go."

Su Manman knew that her mother was soft-hearted. Even if her mother made up her mind about some things, it would take some time for her to actually do them.

Her mother had just recovered from a serious illness, and she didn't want to force her.

Su Tinggui is here, but he is just looking for trouble again.

Just a verbal fight.

She is good at this.

Let her go.

"Mom, keep eating. I'll go check."

She put down her chopsticks, got up and walked out.

At the gate of the courtyard, Su Tinggui pushed Shuqi aside and barged in. When he looked up, he saw Su Manman and sneered, "What have you been doing hiding in the house lately?"

"Mother is seriously ill, please take care of her!"

"Attending to the sick?"

Su Tinggui didn't believe it and snorted coldly, "What kind of girl is this? Her mother is dying of illness, but she still sends her maids to the streets to buy a lot of things and eat and drink to her heart's content with the servants and maids."

"Su Manman, I gave you your mother's dowry. Didn't I ask you to squander it like this?"

He came over and blamed her for no apparent reason, which was really unpleasant.

"My mother's things, I naturally have the right to use them."

Su Manman did not show any weakness and retorted, "It's better than leaving the dowry money in the hands of others and letting them squander it recklessly, right?"

"But..." She crossed her arms and looked at Su Tinggui leisurely, "What on earth are you doing here at Nishangyuan?"

"Are you visiting your wife as a husband?"

Su Manman shook her head. "My daughter doesn't look like that. Instead, it looks like she's too short on money and is jealous, so she came to me and started yelling."

"Master Su, you are the Minister of Rites, a high-ranking official in the court. How can you be so narrow-minded?"

"Am I narrow-minded, or are you selfish?"

Su Tinggui was also very angry and cursed: "You took your mother's dowry money and bought amethyst grapes. Even if you bought a basket, all the servants in the courtyard, including the grooms, could get a share."

"Where are the rest of the Su family? Where is your grandmother? Where is your father?"

"Have you ever taken us seriously? Have you ever thought about us?"

"As your father, I must teach you a lesson for such an unkind, unjust, and unfilial person."

"What? You think you're right?"

"Su Manman, don't forget. A woman must obey her father before she gets married. Please don't be disrespectful to me."

"..."

I really met a mad dog!

As soon as it came up, it started barking wildly and wanted to bite people.

Su Manman tried her best to calm herself down, took a deep breath, and finally said, "Dad is complaining that I bought a basket of amethyst grapes and didn't share any with Grandma and Father?"

With just one sentence, she grasped the core of the incident.

Su Tinggui was so angry that his chest heaved and he glared at her fiercely.

"Actually, they're just some amethyst grapes. It's fine if I can give some to the maids and servants, or give some to my grandmother."

"What a pity..." She paused and said, "I don't want to send her to Yixiangyuan."

"Why?" Su Tinggui asked with a cold face.

Su Manman was so angry that she laughed, "Grandma never thought of sharing the amethyst grapes she bought with my mother, not even a single one."

"Daqian is a country of etiquette, respecting the elderly and loving the young."

Su Manman spoke slowly, but each word was audible. "Old people should love the young, only then are they qualified to ask the young to respect the old."

"Since my mother has always been neglected and ignored, why should I treat those who ignore, despise, or even despise her with respect and respect?"

"Dad, if you want to eat amethyst grapes, go buy them yourself."

"My mother has never received anything from you, so don't even think about the things in our Nishang Courtyard."

"As for you caring about me squandering my mother's dowry?"

"Please rest assured, Dad. I will hand over every cent of Mom's dowry to her."

"Every penny I spend now, I earned myself."

"Don't question me."

She raised the corners of her lips and said, "I can support myself, my mother, and my subordinates."

"Don't be jealous. They eat well, dress well, and use things well."

"That's because their girls can make money."

Su Manman fought back, leaving Su Tinggui speechless.

Aunt Liu, who was standing behind him, sneered when she heard this and said in a long tone, "Madam, making money? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at when you say this?"

"Master, the eldest daughter has been ill since she was a child. She can't even read a few words. She has wasted six years in Jiangyang. She has no skills. How can she earn money?"

Aunt Liu looked Su Manman up and down and said sarcastically, "If the young lady has anything, I'm afraid this beautiful appearance is the only thing she has."

"We in the Su family are people who value our reputation. Young lady, please don't do anything immoral outside."

"Where will the old lady and the master put their faces?"

"We have Jiaojiao waiting to get married in the Su Mansion. Don't let your own actions ruin the reputation of the entire Su Mansion!"

This damn woman is spreading rumors everywhere and even has the nerve to say that she is ruining the reputation of the whole family.

What a shameless thing.

Su Manman was not angry. She smiled and said coldly, "Dad, yesterday, Lord Cao captured all the remaining spies from Huanyue Kingdom and sent them all to the Dali Temple prison."

Her eyes fell on Su Tinggui's injured leg. "Dad, I heard that you fell down while going up the mountain. Was it because of a century-old tree that fell in the middle of the road?"

"I heard that the man who ordered the trees to be cut down was named Wang Er, and he was also arrested."

"Dad, don't you want to go see him and ask him why he cut down the tree and almost broke your leg?"

When Su Manman said this, Aunt Liu's face turned pale instantly, and the arrogance she had just shown was extinguished in an instant.

"This Wang Er is a kiln worker. The fake celadon vase in Grandmother's room was made by him ten years ago at the behest of Aunt Liu. He personally made it and sent it to the Su Mansion."

"And the poison bowl my mother used, could it be made by him?"

"Dad, why does this person frequently appear in our Su Mansion and is connected to various events in the Su Mansion?"

"Dad, why don't you go meet him in person and ask him clearly?"

Su Manman glanced at Aunt Liu and said with a smile, "After all, if Lord Cao finds out who this person is connected to in our family, not only will the Su family's reputation be damaged, but I'm afraid your career will also be affected, Dad."

"You're talking nonsense!" Aunt Liu screamed in fear.
