Chapter 226: Wild Beasts
"Eh? That's impossible. If it was a dog, how could my aunt get hurt? Or was it that a thief broke into the mansion and intended to do something bad to my aunt, and was discovered by my brother, and then..."
"Then bullshit, shut up!" Liu yelled angrily, but her movement was too big and the wound was pulled, causing her to gasp in pain.
Su Qingwan didn't shut up, but said indifferently: "It's just a guess, why is the aunt angry? Then how did you get injured?"
She guessed that Liu would not say that it was Su Yuning who hurt them, because Su Yunrou was about to marry into the royal family. If the bad things about the daughters of the Marquis' Mansion were to be spread again, the emperor would be afraid of Su Yunrou. By then, not to mention marrying the Prince of Qi, even the current Prince of Rui might be in danger.
The reputation of the Marquis' Mansion was not good some time ago. It was because of Su Yingxue's death that Yun Rou deliberately spread the rumor that she was killed by the family law, which saved the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion's strict family style. Although Liu was also very upset about this, it saved Yun Rou's reputation after all, so Liu couldn't say anything.
Liu was holding her breath, thinking about what to say, when she heard Nanny Zhou say, "That thing doesn't look like a dog, but it must be a ferocious beast. It was very ferocious. We had a hard time chasing it away."
"Driven away? You weren't beaten to death?" The old lady became nervous when she heard that.
She looked around, as if she was worried that the beasts would suddenly rush out and hurt more people. She herself was old and weak, and she couldn't outrun those beasts.
Madam Zhou thought she had said something wrong and quickly added, "He was chased out and later beaten to death in the yard."
Hearing this, both Old Kang and Young Kang breathed a sigh of relief.
"It would be better to beat him to death. Such a vicious creature actually dared to hurt my grandson." Old Kang said angrily.
"What is that thing? Where is the corpse?" Su Qingwan continued to ask.
Nanny Zhou and Madam Liu both glared at Su Qingwan.
How come you are the only one with so many problems? It's really annoying to hear that.
"The body was thrown into a mass grave outside the city. If you want to see it, go by yourself." Liu said unhappily.
"Miss Fourth, you'd better not go there. That place is too unlucky." Nanny Zhou was afraid that Su Qingwan would be serious.
Jiang knew that Su Qingwan was a brave person. If she really went to see it, no one could stop her. So she pulled Su Qingwan and said, "Don't make trouble."
Su Qingwan nodded, "I won't go, don't worry, mother."
There was no ferocious beast at all, so where did the corpse come from? I just don’t know how Su Yuning will deal with it.
But judging from Old Kang's expression, he probably doesn't know that Su Yuning had been beaten to death with sticks.
As the unloved legitimate daughter of a noble family, and moreover, she was already crazy, the first wife could easily find an excuse to say that she died of illness. At this critical moment, the Marquis's Mansion would definitely not hold a funeral, and it is possible that even the spirit tablet would not be placed in the ancestral hall. As a concubine's daughter, not many people would ask about her even if she died. However, all this had nothing to do with Su Qingwan, and letting Su Yuning vent her anger before she died was also worthy of her.
Su Yueqi also looked at Su Yuejie. Just one glance and he felt pain all over his body.
Su Lihan didn't even dare to go over and take a look, for she was afraid of scaring herself.
Su Yuejie also woke up at this time. As soon as he moved a little, he felt severe pain. He could only stay still, but even so, the pain did not let him go.
Su Yuning, you lunatic, you actually harmed yourself to this point. She deserves to die, kill her, kill her!
"Hey! Big brother seems to have woken up. He just moved a little." Su Yueqi noticed this and said hurriedly.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Kang hurried over to look.
"Yuejie, how do you feel?" Liu said with heartache.
Su Yuejie really wanted Liu to kill Su Yuning, but after trying for a long time, he found that he couldn't speak at all.
No one knows a son better than his mother. At this moment, Mrs. Liu actually saw her son's intention and said quickly:
"The beast that hurt you has been dealt with. Don't be afraid. Just take good care of your wounds now."
Hearing this, Su Yuejie felt much better, but this did not make him forget the pain in his body.
"Brother is so pitiful."
Su Yueqi said with pity that in the past, Su Yuejie relied on being the eldest grandson of the Marquis's Mansion and was extremely arrogant. He did not take his younger brother seriously at all. Moreover, whenever the two had any conflicts, his grandparents would often side with Su Yuejie. He had long been dissatisfied with this.
But now look, Su Yuejie has become a useless person, and the only person they can rely on is themselves.
Old Kang wiped her tears and said to Su Yueqi: "Your elder brother is already like this, and we can only take good care of him in this life, but you are different. Now I am counting on you for my old bones."
These words made Liu feel extremely heartbroken, and Su Yuejie felt even more uncomfortable.
This old woman is now injured, so she treats Su Yueqi better.
Su Yueqi is nothing, how can he compare to me?
I was just slightly injured. As long as he recovers, I will make the old man and those who look down on me pay for it.
"Don't worry, grandma. Your grandson will do well in his job. Please don't be too sad, or you will hurt your body." Su Yueqi said with concern.
"Hey! Good boy!" Old Mrs. Kang felt quite comforted.
Xiao Kang was extremely proud. In the past, she could only watch Old Kang and Su Yuejie talking like this. She never expected that one day it would be her son's turn.
Haha, this feels so good!
Especially when she saw Liu's heartbroken face, she felt refreshed and extremely happy.
Su Yuejie listened to what the person next to him said, with too much resentment and anger in his mind, but he couldn't say it out loud. In the end, he got so angry that his eyes rolled back and he fainted again.
They didn't stay here for long before leaving together.
When they got outside, Jiang was about to go back with Su Qingwan and her brother, but she heard Xiaokang say:
"Madam, Yue Jie is injured like this now. My sister-in-law must be even more worried. Right now, she is also busy with Yun Rou's wedding. I'm afraid she can't take care of the affairs in the Marquis' Mansion."
Su Qingwan instantly knew what Xiaokang was planning. She was eyeing the power to be the head of the Marquis' Mansion.
"She has nothing to worry about. Yue Jie doesn't need her to serve him personally. Yun Rou's wedding is mainly prepared by the palace. She just needs to make some preparations."
As soon as Old Mrs. Kang heard what Young Mrs. Kang was saying, she knew what she was going to do.
But now the Marquis' Mansion needs money everywhere. Does Xiaokang have the money to spend on it?
It would be better to let Liu continue to manage the household, and my birthday banquet...
Thinking of her birthday party, old Kang instantly became furious. Even the flowers in the marquis's mansion haven't been replaced yet. What scenery would she use to hold her birthday party? She was so angry!
Xiao Kang was unwilling to give in, but seeing that Lao Kang's expression was becoming increasingly unpleasant, he stopped what he was about to say.
Su Yuewu's attention was not on this. He asked Su Qingwan, "Sister, what kind of beast do you think it is? It's so ferocious!"
He wanted to try his fists to see if he could kill the beast.
"I don't know. Who knows if it's a beast or a ghost? It must be something extraordinary to appear in the Marquis' Mansion silently." Su Qingwan said.
They were not far from the Big and Small Kang families, so Xiao Kang family heard everything Su Qingwan said clearly.
Especially the word "ghost" in it, it seemed to touch a certain point and made her shiver.
She couldn't help but wonder, what kind of ferocious beast could it be?
It might not be a beast but a ghost, none other than Campbell.
