Chapter 340: Old Lady Kang Seeks Old Kang to Demand His Life
Su Qingwan looked at Li Yuncheng in shock. If she remembered correctly, Prince An had a pretty good relationship with him. How could he have instigated the emperor to agree to let Prince An leave the capital?
"If Prince An wants to leave, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the emperor to agree, right?"
Besides, could Prince An’s mother be willing to let her son leave the capital?
"There's nothing wrong with leaving the troubled place."
Don’t wait until the capital is in chaos and he won’t be able to leave even if he wants to.
Su Qingwan immediately understood what he meant. With the change of the throne, casualties are inevitable. The emperor asked Prince An to stay in his fiefdom in order to save his life. However, his idea was good, but it was not certain that Prince An could really reach his fiefdom safely.
If the man in front of him was a little more cruel, Prince An would have died on the road.
"Prince An has the heart of a child. Do you think he can reach his fiefdom safely?" Su Qingwan asked back.
Li Yuncheng saw her pair of black eyes looking at him quietly, and he immediately realized that she was suspecting that he would take action against Prince An, and he couldn't help laughing.
Just as I was about to reply, I heard Aunt Rong's loud voice coming from outside.
"Hey, Fourth Miss, let's go to Rong'an Hall quickly. The people from the Kang family are coming here angrily."
Su Qingwan stood up immediately, not caring to say more to Li Yuncheng, and only said to him: "My grandfather and father will be here soon, please wait for a moment, I'm going to watch the show."
When the voice fell, Su Qingwan was no longer in the flower hall.
Li Yuncheng smiled helplessly and told the servant who had just come in: "Take me to see your Lord."
The servant immediately took him to see the old marquis.
……
Inside Rong'an Hall.
There were still silver needles stuck in the base of old Kang's palm, and she looked like she was barely breathing. She had just woken up, her cheeks were swollen like a pig's head, and her lower abdomen was aching slightly. Although her cheeks were wiped clean by Nanny Xu, she could vaguely smell the fishy smell from the old princess's saliva. It was such a great humiliation. Today was her birthday party, and she was the lady of a marquisate. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
Nanny Xu, Xiao Kang and others did not mention the fact that the Earl of Yongkang had taken away 40,000 taels of silver. They just stood by and watched over her quietly.
After a while, the doctor took out the silver needle from the base of the thumb and said, "The swelling on the face will subside in a few days. Let the old lady drink the calming soup."
Xiao Kang hurried forward and, together with Nanny Xu, helped Old Kang take the medicine.
After drinking just two sips, old Kang was stimulated by the effects of the medicine and remembered what had happened in the Earl of Yongkang's mansion. His eyes suddenly became sharp and his gaze swept across the room, finally landing on Liu.
"Liu, you still have the nerve to sit here, kneel down!"
She was humiliated in public today. She could do nothing about the old princess, but that didn't apply to the Liu family. She couldn't swallow the anger in her heart, so she had to vent it on the Liu family.
Liu knew that the old lady would definitely vent her anger on her, but she also felt wronged!
But how could she kneel down? So she covered her face and started crying.
Xiao Kang was relieved when she saw her like that, and said sarcastically, "Hey! Sister-in-law, the old lady just asked you to kneel down, why are you crying? What your family did today was too much. In my opinion, the old lady should punish you severely according to the family rules."
Liu covered her face and cried, but no tears came out. When she heard Xiaokang's mocking words, she was so angry that she wanted to rush up and tear her mouth apart.
"How can Second Sister-in-law say that? What happened today was caused by Fifth Girl's excessive talk. Originally, the relationship between the Marquis's Mansion and the Earl's Mansion would have been closer because of the old lady's birthday, but she ruined it all with just one sentence."
"Even if you need to use family law to deal with her, it should be the Fifth Girl. What does it have to do with me?"
Liu suddenly looked up and directly refuted.
Su Lihan was so scared that she hid behind Xiaokang, fearing that Liu would catch her and punish her.
Xiaokang didn't expect that Liu could blame the whole thing on her daughter. She was about to retort when she heard a quarrel outside Rong'an Hall.
Old Kang was already unhappy, and when he heard the noise, he became even more unhappy, his old face was longer than that of a donkey.
"Madam Kang, please walk slower and allow me to go in and pass the message."
"Didn't you say that Mrs. Kang fainted? I can just go in and see if she's dead or not. Why would you need to pass on the message?"
Old Mrs. Kang pushed aside the old woman who was blocking her way and walked into the house.
"Old Mrs. Kang, you vicious woman, are you still alive?" Old Mrs. Kang lifted the bead curtain and walked straight in.
When she saw Xiao Kang standing in front of Lao Kang's bed serving her, she was immediately furious.
"Snapped!"
Old Mrs. Kang went up and slapped her daughter in the face.
Her own brother was killed by the vicious woman, Mrs. Kang, but she, as an elder sister, still served him personally. It was true that after getting married, she no longer cared about her parents and brothers.
"Mother?"
Xiao Kang was hit and staggered, staring at Old Madam Kang with dull eyes.
"What's happening here?"
Liu was also startled, but her eyes and the corners of her mouth immediately showed uncontrollable joy.
Old Mrs. Kang looked in disbelief at the old lady Kang who had barged in. When had she ever been so rude to her before?
Whenever she saw me before, she always spoke to me respectfully, but now she is showing off in front of me. Is she crazy?
Old Mrs. Kang walked a few steps to the bed and looked closely at Old Kang in front of her.
I really can't believe that she would actually take her own son's life.
What a good child Bailey is, he is filial and obedient. He always talks about old Mrs. Kang, and what he talks about most is how much his aunt loves him.
But the final result of the pain was that her son lost his life!
As a woman, I used to envy old Kang, even though she was just the old marquis' concubine at first, but so what?
The old marquis had her in his heart. After his first wife died, he made Old Kang his second wife. How glorious! Even their Kang family relied on Old Kang's influence to survive. When she asked her daughter to marry her second son, she agreed without hesitation.
But how did things turn out like this?
Her Bailey was actually poisoned to death, Old Kang, you are such a black-hearted vicious woman!
Old Mrs. Kang felt uneasy when she was looked at by Old Lady Kang. She didn't understand why she suddenly came over like that.
Xiao Kang was also confused and could only reach out to help her mother, saying, "Mom, I'll help you...ah!"
Before she finished her words, Mrs. Kang went crazy. She suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Old Kang's neck fiercely, shouting viciously:
"Give me back my son's life! Give me back my son's life!"
"I'll strangle you to death, you vicious woman!"
"Strangle you!"
Old Mrs. Kang's skinny fingers tightly pinched Old Mr. Kang and kept shaking them back and forth.
"Let, let go..."
"Mother, what are you doing? Let go of aunt."
"Help, pull her away!"
The house was suddenly in chaos. Seeing Old Lady Kang rushing into the house, Su Qingwan naturally also saw this scene after entering the room.
However, she did not go forward to help, but just watched from the side. She did not expect that Mrs. Kang was still quite strong. Look, she had pinched old Kang so hard that he rolled his eyes.
Old Mrs. Kang felt that she was going to die. She couldn't breathe and could only struggle in vain. A burst of scarlet blood appeared in front of her eyes. She vaguely seemed to see that the person who was strangling her was Campbell!
On the other side, the Liu family was waiting in a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage was moving forward with a "clattering sound" and passing by a bamboo forest. Old Mrs. Liu was being pulled by several daughters-in-law, and she was receiving their praises with a proud look on her face.
"Old lady, you are so awesome today. You have defeated that old man Kang."
"When the old lady was young, she was a daughter of the underworld. Naturally, she has a bit of domineering aura."
"The old lady is still full of energy and vigor, just as she was in the past."
"Hey! The last time we made trouble in the Marquis' Mansion, it was because we didn't catch the old bitch's handle, but she caught our weakness instead. This time she is more afraid of us than us, so it's natural that she will do this."
Looking at the 40,000 taels of silver in her hand, Old Lady Liu suddenly thought of her exiled daughter and grandson, and sadness appeared in her eyes.
"Senior Wushuang is worthy of being the daughter of Chief Escort Lin. She is still strong and heroic despite her age."
At this moment a loud voice swept across like a wave.
"Master!"
Old Mrs. Liu's eyes were full of fear, especially the name Wushuang. No one had called her that for many years. Her real name was Lin Wushuang, the daughter of Lin Biaotou, the famous Jiangnan Escort Agency. After marrying into the Liu family, she had retired from the criminal world for many years. The sudden name made Old Mrs. Liu feel uneasy.
"Senior Wushuang, we had a pleasant cooperation today. How about we meet and make another deal?"
The voice was like the sound of Buddha's voice that slowly spread out. Only people like Old Lady Liu who had practiced martial arts could understand that this man had a very strong internal force.
"Who are you, Excellency? What do you want to cooperate with?"
Old Mrs. Liu was in high spirits and looked determined. She slowly got off the carriage and asked.
"The 40,000 taels of silver in your hand will be exchanged for some news and the safety of your Liu family."
At this moment, a beautiful green figure opened her arms, displayed excellent lightness skills, and leaped over like a dragonfly skimming the water.
"Are you the maidservant beside Su Qingwan?"
When she saw the person coming, Mrs. Liu's pupils trembled.
She had been to the Marquis' Mansion more than once, and had a keen eye. She had never expected that the maidservant of Su Qingwan, the third room of the Marquis' Mansion, had such superb martial arts skills.
"Your servant Pearl greets you, Senior."
Zhenzhu stopped steadily in front of Old Madam Liu, then bowed her hands in a traditional manner.
"Who the hell are you, Miss? How can you want these 40,000 taels just because of a yellow-haired girl like you?"
