Shengjing Noble

Chapter 119 Private decision for life

She turned around and glared at Su Lanyin, but was startled by her sudden change in eyes.

I saw that she had taken off her ignorant disguise, revealing the most ferocious yet indifferent expression, with a pair of bloodthirsty eyes, like a demon from hell.

She looked down upon people, exuding a hostile aura that was chilling just to look at.

"You...what do you want to do? Don't come over here!"

Su Lanxin was subconsciously afraid, feeling that the other party was full of murderous intent and could strangle her neck at any time.

So, she sat on the ground and couldn't help but shrink back until Su Lanyin grabbed her by the collar.

"Sister, if you want to play, I will accompany you to the end. If you don't want to play... I won't let you go either, so just look forward to it."

After saying that, she loosened Su Lanxin's collar, a smile that was chilling to the bone appeared on her face, and she gently helped her pat the wrinkled fabric, then stood up and walked into the door without looking back.

Su Lanxin, who was sitting on the ground, was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. She turned around and saw that Su Lanyin's back was no longer there, but she still felt a lingering fear in her heart.

Why does it feel like that look is filled with deep hatred?

There doesn't seem to be any deep hatred between them, right?

Su Lanxin swallowed her saliva, a trace of annoyance rising in her heart. She stood up by holding the door frame beside her, cursing under her breath.

"Bitch, you dare to provoke me, damn it, I will never let you go, let's wait and see!"

After she finished speaking, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and then she thought of something, and a malicious smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

……

In the study, there was a constant sound of "crackling", and the servants outside the door all shrank their necks and dared not go in rashly.

Liu Ruyan came over after hearing the news. Just as she stepped into the pit, a teacup fell down under her feet and the fragments shattered into pieces and splashed everywhere.

She frowned, then walked around the debris and inside, a look of worry on her face.

"Master, why are you so angry? You might get yourself in trouble."

Liu Ruyan walked up and stroked Su Yongcheng's vest with tenderness and consideration.

"There is not a single good person in the Lu family! All the children born to Lu Wanjun are evil! I have lost so much face! How can I survive in the officialdom in the future!"

He was so angry that he picked up a teapot and threw it out.

A look of heartache flashed across Liu Ruyan's eyes. Although those tea cups were bought by Lu Wanjun, they were still very valuable.

It must be said that Lu Wanjun was really generous to Su Yongcheng. She gave him the best food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even the piece of paper he used for practicing calligraphy was from Zong Huixuan.

But now is not the time to care about these things.

She came to her senses and quickly helped Su Yongcheng sit down on a stool nearby, then massaged his shoulders and comforted him softly.

"Master, don't be angry. After all, this is our family affair. Who dares to say that they don't have some shameful troubles in their family? Besides, people will forget about it after a long time. No one will remember it forever."

"Humph, that's easy for you to say! I don't know how this damn Su Lanyin became like this!"

"Yes, Lan Yin was not like this before. Now, I don't know what has happened to her. She always wants to harm us. She even instigated Aunt Lu to stop managing the household affairs. Does she really want the world to be in chaos?"

"No! I must discipline her and never let her do anything wrong again!"

Liu Ruyan's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she said carefully: "If the child is still young and ignorant, we as parents can still teach him slowly, but now Lanyin has grown up, no matter how hard we try, I'm afraid he won't listen."

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't kick her out again! Look at what she did today. If it happens again, we might even have to report it to the emperor. She's holding the jade pendant given by Doctor Xue and the emperor. It really pissed me off!"

"Of course we can't kick the child out. Even if Lanyin is ignorant, she is still the daughter of our Su family. If something happens to her, it will only bring shame to the Su family and make you bear the stigma of being abusive to your children."

"Then what do you say we should do? We can't drive them away, and we can't control them!" Su Yongcheng was furious and worried.

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes, leaned over to whisper in his ear, "Master, don't be anxious. This daughter will leave home sooner or later. What do you think?"

"Sooner or later... we all have to leave home?"

Su Yongcheng was stunned for a moment, savoring this sentence carefully, and then his eyes lit up.

"You mean you want her to get married? But...she hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet."

"So what? It's not uncommon for people to get engaged to men when they are only 13 or 14 years old."

"If this gets out, won't our Su family be embarrassed?"

"It doesn't matter. It's not like she hasn't reached the age of 15 yet. It's just a few months late. Wouldn't it be fine if we held a half-year 15 ...

"But the Song family..."

"The Song family is not a problem. I heard that Song Rui will take part in the imperial examination this year and has already arrived in Beijing and is living in the post house. I thought that we had received favors from the Song family in the past, so inviting Song Rui to stay in the mansion temporarily is also a way of repaying the favor, right?"

"what do you mean……"

"Although it's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, we still have to let the two children develop feelings in advance."

"That makes sense! If the two of them are in love, it would be reasonable to do it in advance."

"That's exactly what I meant."

Su Yongcheng's expression instantly turned from gloomy to bright. He grabbed Liu Ruyan's hand and said excitedly, "Madam is really smart. She is really my dearest."

"Master, the door is still open."

"So what? Master, I'm happy!"

As he said that, Su Yongcheng picked up Liu Ruyan and carried her sideways towards the compartment behind the screen.

……

There was a scent of medicine wafting from Langya Pavilion. Three days had passed since the last incident.

The Su family has been weirdly quiet lately, and it's hard to believe that they are really behaving themselves and aren't up to something bad.

Su Lanyin was checking the account book. The restaurant that she had taken from Su Yongcheng had been cleaned up and replaced with waiters and managers that she had carefully selected.

Now we just need to check the accounts to see if there are any omissions. If there are no omissions, we can operate normally.

That restaurant does pretty good business, with an annual turnover of at least 18,000 yuan, and after deducting the costs, it can make at least half of the profit.

But all the money went into Su Yongcheng's pocket and not a penny was ever taken out.

So Su Lanyin only needed to check the account book to know how much private money Su Yongcheng had hidden over the years.

As I was watching, there was a knock on the door.

"Sixth Miss, I have something to report."

Su Lanyin stopped writing and looked up at the door. After a moment of deep thought, she said, "Come in."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and A'mo walked in with his head lowered, then knelt on one knee on the ground.

"I have met the girl."

"No need to be polite, tell me what's going on?"

Ah Mo said in a deep voice: "The fourth young master has been arrested."

"Oh? So fast?"

This was somewhat unexpected for Su Lanyin.

After all, compared with his previous life, Su Shengming was arrested much earlier.
