Shengjing Noble

Chapter 134 Bruised nose and swollen face

Seeing her take the initiative to greet him, he couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Humph, Yongcheng has become more and more prestigious now that he is an official. In the past, he and his wife would personally receive me. How come you, a concubine, can come out to entertain guests today?"

The contempt in these words was almost undisguised. If it were in the past, Lu Wanjun would definitely be angry.

But today, she chose to be patient.

After all, there are more important things to do.

So she pretended to be embarrassed and said with a melancholy face: "Don't be offended, Mr. Su. To be honest, my husband and the first lady just left the house with someone, and I don't know where they went. I have sent someone to look for them, and they will be back soon. Please wait a moment, I will ask someone to serve the best tea right away."

After saying that, he winked at the servant beside him and waved, "Hurry up and serve the tea."

The servant understood and said, "Yes, I will go right away."

He could see clearly that Lu Wanjun wanted him to make some overnight tea.

After a while, the servant came back with hot tea and placed it in front of the three elders one by one.

Lu Wanjun smiled and said, "Three elders, this is the most expensive Maojian in Shengjing. Have a sip of tea first to calm down."

The other two looked at Mr. Su, and seeing him nod slightly and pick up the teacup, they followed suit.

The three of them pretended to sip the tea and did not forget to give some compliments.

"This tea is quite good, with a fresh and mellow taste."

"Yes, yes, good tea, good tea."

"Don't forget to bring some back for us when you go."

Lu Wanjun smiled and nodded in agreement.

While drinking tea, a servant came running in from outside the door: "Aunt Lu! The master and the mistress are back."

"Where are the people? Didn't you tell them that the clan leader is here?" Lu Wanjun asked pretending to be unaware.

The servant knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The master and his wife took a group of servants to the Wanjin Pavilion!"

"What? That's the largest casino in Shengjing! What are they doing there?"

"They said they wanted to arrest the Fourth Young Master, but the Fourth Young Master was clearly in Langya Pavilion taking care of the First Young Master. It's really strange."

"So where are they now?"

The servant hesitated and stammered, not daring to say anything.

Lu Wanjun stamped her feet in a pretentious manner: "Oh, just tell me!"

"The master was beaten so badly that he dared not see guests, so the eldest lady said she would help him put on some rouge and powder to cover it up. The two of them might have gone to the Pearl Pavilion, right?"

Lu Wanjun had her back to the elders, the corners of her mouth curled up wildly and she couldn't suppress it, her voice was choked with sobs.

"Then why did they go to Wanjin Pavilion to look for Ming Ge'er? Who told them that Ming Ge'er went to the casino?"

The servant answered loudly, "The eldest lady said that the fourth young master lost a lot of money in the casino and couldn't pay it back. The master was furious and took people to Wanjin Pavilion."

"So they want to save Ming Ge'er?"

"No way? When the master left, he said he wanted to beat Ming'er to death, saying that he was afraid that he would ruin the reputation of the Su family. If he really went to redeem someone, why didn't he withdraw money from the account?"

At this point, the three elders understood everything clearly.

Su Lao frowned and couldn't help asking, "Wanjun, what's going on? Is Mingge'er really in the casino?"

Lu Wanjun turned around, gritted her teeth to hold back her laughter, shook her head and said, "How could that be? Although Ming is lively, he is always timid. How could he dare to go to such a big casino and make trouble? I guess the Madam believed some rumors and caused a misunderstanding."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, looking aggrieved: "My husband usually protects her and trusts her, but now he is biased in this matter concerning Ming'er's reputation."

"Alas, it's also my fault as a useless mother. I can't protect my three children. The eldest son is a martial arts master but was framed and became disabled. The third son is knowledgeable and talented but was instigated by the eldest lady and was whipped by his father. It seems that Tomorrow Technology is still bedridden at this moment."

"I only have this one healthy son left, and she even slandered my son for gambling and wanted to ruin his reputation. Elder Su, even if you consider that I pay for the construction of the ancestral hall every year and have given birth to three sons for the Su family, please have pity on me as a mother and help me persuade them to let my youngest son go."

After saying that, Lu Wanjun knelt down on the ground and cried heartbrokenly.

She was already dressed plainly today, and she put on some makeup at Lan Yin's suggestion, making her look pale, haggard and pitiful.

The three elders of the Su family turned serious when they heard this, especially Old Man Su, who slammed the table in extreme anger.

"How could such a coincidence happen? The eldest brother suddenly lost his eyesight and all the tendons in his limbs were broken when he was taking the exam for the top martial arts champion. If this was an accident, it would be barely believable. But the third brother, who was the top champion, was about to take the imperial examination, and he was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed!"

"Yes, yes! Now the fourth brother has been accused of gambling before he has done anything. How can he live his life in the future?"

"Liu Ruyan looks like she doesn't fight for anything, but who knows what kind of person she is behind the scenes? You can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart."

"I am the head of the Su family after all! I will never allow anything to happen to the male members of the Su family! What's more, Brother Yun is a top scholar. Yongcheng didn't make it into the top three that year. If Brother Yun can become the top scholar, wouldn't it bring honor to our Su family?"

"We have to take care of this matter! We have to get to the end!"

"Hurry up and ask Su Yongcheng and Liu Ruyan to come and see us!"

The three of them were filled with righteous indignation, not only to protect the descendants of the Su family, but also because Lu Wanjun mentioned the money for building the ancestral hall.

This money is an important source of income for these people every year. If they lose it because of this incident, how can they live a good life?

Therefore, everyone expressed their anger.

Just at this time, Su Yongcheng and Liu Ruyan finally arrived.

"Three elders, Yongcheng is late. I apologize to you three."

"I have met the three elders."

The two of them saluted, and when they looked up they met the stern gazes of the three elders, and they swallowed nervously.

"you……"

Mr. Su was about to say something, but he got stuck when he saw the makeup on Su Yongcheng's face.

The other two also stared at him and almost laughed out loud. They turned their faces away and gritted their teeth to hold back their laughter.

Lu Wanjun looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing, but her shoulders couldn't stop shaking. She had no choice but to lower her head, cover her eyes with a handkerchief, and pretend to cry.

When Mr. Su saw that she was crying and trembling, he stopped laughing and returned to his serious expression.

"Su Yongcheng, let me ask you, what's wrong with this face?"

He is the elder brother of Su Yongcheng's father. The elders of the Su family all died one after another in the famine decades ago, leaving only the Su children.

Among the younger generations of the Su family relatives, Uncle Su Yongcheng is the eldest child. He makes a living by begging with his father and several younger brothers and sisters.

Not only did she support Su Yongcheng's father, she also raised him, built a house for him and helped him find a wife.

Later, after Grandpa Su died, his eldest brother became a more powerful figure than Su Yongcheng's father, and the entire Su family regarded him as the head.

Although he is greedy for money and likes to take advantage of small things, he still has a bottom line and his character is much better than that of the scum Su Yongcheng.
