Chapter 172: Auntie Quit
Su Li is well-known in the Marquis' Mansion for her brashness.
Her whip is also famous in the Marquis' Mansion!
After this swing, everyone looked at each other, not daring to make a move.
Third aunt also rushed out and shouted angrily:
"You're rebelling! How long are you going to continue aiding and abetting the evil? Get out of my way!"
The maids and servants around Third Aunt also stood on Su Li's side.
"Let's go!" Su Li gave an order and took the lead to lead the way forward.
"I can't leave! I've been ordered by the Imperial Concubine to take care of the Ninth Princess. How can the Ninth Princess, a daughter of a rich family, go out in this freezing cold weather...ah!"
Su Li swung his hand and whipped Nanny Wan who was rushing out.
"Dog slave!"
"Just because I call you Ma Ma, you've forgotten your own status! You're ruining the Imperial Concubine's reputation in public! I want to see if the Imperial Concubine would chop off your head if she knew this is how you take care of the princess!"
Nanny Wan's face was bruised and she collapsed in the snow, shaking. Behind her, the Marquis' wife was furious and kept smashing things:
"It's against! It's against! It's against!"
Su Li whipped the way all the way to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion and got on the carriage of the General's Mansion. Then he threw away the whip, glared fiercely at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, and drove away in the carriage.
……
Songhe Hall.
"Mother! Mother, you are finally awake!"
When the Marquis saw the old lady finally wake up, he rushed forward, but the old lady raised her hand and slapped her.
"evil creature!"
The Marquis was stunned by the slap and started to cry.
"Mother, you can beat me or scold me, as long as you can calm down, anything is fine!"
The Marquis knelt in front of the bed and begged.
"You want me to calm down? Fine! Then go and divorce that vicious woman right now! And that evil bastard Pei Yan! Get him out! My Pei family doesn't have such a daughter-in-law, nor such children and grandchildren!"
The old lady was so angry that she started coughing. Zhao Ma and Third Aunt hurried forward to help her up, patting her back and soothing her breath. It took a lot of effort to finally let the old lady breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mother, this..."
The Marquis hesitated.
At this time, the Marquis's wife came in with a group of maids. She snorted coldly and said:
"Divorce me? Mother, on what basis do you divorce me? I've worked diligently for the Marquis's residence for over twenty years, managing its affairs without complaint. I've also worked to expand and prosper your Pei family. On what basis do you divorce me?"
"You! You vicious woman! Killing Heng'er wasn't enough, and now you're imprisoning the princess along with your precious son. You're deceiving the emperor and committing treason! The century-old reputation of our mansion will be completely destroyed by you! Our Pei family can't afford such a vicious woman!"
The old lady pointed at her nose and said hatefully.
"Humph! You're calling me a vicious woman now! If it weren't for my brother, Duke Qi, and my sister, Concubine Wen, how could the Marquisate be so prosperous? When my nephew ascends the throne, the Marquisate will prosper for another hundred years! I brought all of this to you!"
"Without me, you guys will eat shit!"
"Speak less!" The Marquis tried to pull the Marquis's wife, but she pushed him away.
"Why don't you say it! Mother, you've been staying in the backyard for so long, I'm afraid you don't understand the situation clearly! I'll help you understand it clearly today!"
"Your Pei family is nothing without me!"
"Evil creature! Evil creature!" The old lady was so angry that her eyes rolled back and her body leaned back.
"Enough!" The Marquis pulled his wife out of the door.
The Marquis's wife was still standing outside the door, cursing:
"You beat my son like that, took away my housekeeper rights, and made me kneel in the Buddhist temple as punishment. Do you really think I'm so powerless and easy to bully? You even want to divorce me? No way!"
The old lady was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She pointed at the Marquis and said:
"Sejong, speak!"
The Marquis stamped his foot and said angrily, "Mother, please stop pushing me. You don't know that the Emperor is seriously ill and His Royal Highness Prince Jing could ascend the throne at any time. Don't add to the chaos at home at this time!"
"Yeah!"
The old lady gnashed her teeth, "What a blind man! What a man who is blinded by wealth and power!"
"Not to mention that Prince Jing hasn't even ascended the throne yet! Even if he does one day, with the perverse actions of him and the Imperial Concubine, how could they possibly win the support of the people?"
"I'm old and can't take care of you anymore. Just go and kill yourself!"
After saying this, the old lady waved her sleeves and drove the marquis away.
When Third Auntie saw the Marquis leave, she knelt down in front of the bed with a thud and said in a deep voice:
"Mother, my daughter-in-law is incompetent and I really can't be the head of this family. Please take back your cards and let my daughter-in-law go."
As she spoke, Third Aunt pulled out the pair of keys to the Marquis' Mansion from her sleeve, held them high above her head, and asked the old lady to take them back.
The old lady burst into tears and said:
"That's all!"
Back in the third room, Third Aunt stopped Third Uncle and went into the study, closing the door and saying:
"Master, why don't we also separate the mansions?"
Uncle San was stunned. "What's wrong?"
Third Aunt sighed and said:
"I've been managing the household these past few days and have discovered that the Marquis's accounts are riddled with holes. There's so much going on, I even suspect my eldest sister-in-law has been lending money at high interest rates. Master, the Marquis's family has been rich for a century, and I don't know when it was drained from the inside."
"A restless home is a sign of ruin! For the sake of Yao'er and Xin'er, let's make plans early."
My third uncle worked in the Ministry of Works, completely absorbed in craftsmanship, and had never been keen on factional struggles for the throne. Ever since the Marquisate became embroiled in Prince Jing's struggle for the throne, he had repeatedly tried to dissuade his eldest brother, but he refused to listen.
A few days ago, Liu Xu assassinated Su Li and Huan Ge'er. He also had a big quarrel with the Marquis, saying that it was his failure to manage his family properly that led to such a disaster.
The two brothers have become estranged these days.
Hearing his wife's words, he felt they made perfect sense, so he said, "It's inappropriate to divide the family while Mother is still alive. But the Ministry of Works just happened to have a hard-earned position for an outposted position, to be the Governor of Water Affairs in three southern provinces. Why don't we take Yao'er and Xin'er south with us? Although it's a bit hard, I heard that there are four distinct seasons there, and the winters aren't as cold as Shengjing. And next year, when the spring comes and the flowers bloom, it will be even more picturesque."
"Really?" Third aunt's eyes were full of surprise.
"Of course! I promised you before that I would take you to travel around the Three Rivers and Five Mountains. It's just right."
"Okay, let's not delay any further. Once you're sure, we'll set off."
"You don't even celebrate the New Year?"
"Forget it! This mansion is full of troubles, how can we celebrate the New Year! Calculating the distance, it's just right to go south to celebrate the New Year, where it's still warm."
After the couple discussed the important matters, Third Aunt's heart finally settled down a lot.
Besides, Su Li drove the carriage back as fast as he could.
In the carriage, Su Li held the Ninth Princess tightly in her arms and frowned, saying:
"Song Tao, quickly send someone back to the mansion to prepare the room and all the necessary items. Send someone to find Master Fei and tell him it's urgent!"
"Don't worry, Madam. I've already asked the servants who are fast to go back first."
"it is good!"
After thinking for a moment, Su Li continued, "Send someone back to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion to invite the young lady to come over for a gathering. Also, send someone to the Lin Mansion to invite Concubine Li's mother, Old Lady Lin, to come over."
"Yes!"
The carriage sped towards the general's mansion.
There are very few pedestrians on the long street covered with snow.
The windows of the restaurant next door were half open.
A man at the window looked at the carriages speeding past on the long street, squinted his eyes and said:
"Isn't this the general's carriage?"
In the room, Prince Kang was holding two charming beauties on his left and right, drinking and having fun. There were also five or six beauties playing music and singing in the room. Hearing this, he let go of the two of them and leaned over to the window, looking down with drunken eyes.
"really!"
The scene of Su Li fiercely raising a large rock and smashing it at the wild boar reappeared before his eyes. King Kang smiled foolishly, touched his chest and said:
"Who among you knows how to kill a pig?"
