Shengjing Noble

Chapter 109 Confusing right and wrong

"Yinyin is really something. You just said something in anger that day, but she really ran away from home. Now, the whole city is in an uproar and even the emperor is alarmed. What kind of thing is this? Aunt Lu didn't know how to stop her. If something goes wrong, it will ruin the reputation of the Su family, but what if it ruins the child's life?"

Su Yongcheng, who was already angry, became even more furious after hearing this.

"Reputation? The Su family's reputation has long been ruined! Do you know what people are saying outside? This evildoer is simply a jinx!"

Liu Ruyan sighed, patted his chest gently, and said softly: "Master, please don't be angry. Why don't I send someone to bring Yinyin back..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Yongcheng raised his hand and overturned the teacup: "Don't take it! If you have the ability, never come back, it's better to die outside!"

Seeing the teacup smashed into pieces on the ground, Liu Ruyan showed a vicious sneer in her eyes.

At this moment, the servant came in and reported: "Master, Madam, something bad has happened. There is a group of people outside the door, clamoring to see you!"

Liu Ruyan and Su Yongcheng looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

"who?"

"It seems his surname is Lu, he looks aggressive and he looks like he is coming with bad intentions."

"Lu? Could it be Lu Yichen?" Liu Ruyan asked in surprise.

"What is he here for?"

"Maybe it's because of Yinyin's matter. What should I do now, Master?"

"What should I do? He has the nerve to come to my house!"

After saying that, Su Yongcheng walked outside with an unconvinced look on his face.

Outside the Su family's gate, Lu Yichen stood at the bottom of the steps with a group of burly guards.

Many people gathered nearby to watch the fun, and for a moment the street in front of the door was completely blocked.

Su Yongcheng was so angry that he had a headache. He asked angrily, "Lu Yichen, you are so bold that you dare to block the door of the imperial official's house with people! What do you mean?"

Lu Yichen snorted coldly, took a few steps forward, pointed at him and shouted: "Su Yongcheng, you are such a heartless person, how dare you bully my sister? I am here to settle accounts with you today!"

"Settle the score? I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

"Okay, let's have a good calculation today!"

After saying that, Lu Yichen took out a thick bill from his arms, opened it in front of everyone and handed it to the servant next to him.

“Read it out loud!”

"Yes!"

The servant immediately read out the contents of the bill aloud, and it turned out to be all the dowry that Lu Wanjun gave when she got married!

The more Su Yongcheng listened, the uglier his face became, until finally his face turned ashen and he roared in anger, "Shut up! Stop reading!"

Lu Yichen sneered and said sarcastically, "What? You don't dare to listen? When you knelt in front of my Lu family and asked to marry my sister Wanjun, you swore to be with her forever, and you asked to marry her as your legal wife, so my father and I agreed to let my sister marry you, a poor loser."

"What happened? You relied on my sister's dowry to gain a foothold in Shengjing, but then you turned your back on me. You ignored my sister's pregnancy and forcibly demoted her to a concubine. You also mistreat her child. How can there be such a shameless ungrateful person like you in this world?"

"Everyone in Shengjing knows that you, Su Yongcheng, were a poor scholar with nothing. If it weren't for my daughter Wanjun's dowry, how could you live in such a big house, wear silk and satin, and eat fine food?"

……

Listening to his questions, Su Yongcheng's eyes widened to the point of almost bleeding, as if he wanted to rush up and eat Lu Yichen alive.

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, but he gritted his teeth and didn't know how to refute.

In the eyes of outsiders, he has always been a talented man with a clear mind and bright moon. Even though his official position is not high, he is respected.

But today, he was slapped in the face in public, and I’m afraid his reputation will never return to what it used to be.

Having his last fig leaf torn off, Su Yongcheng simply stopped pretending. He yelled hysterically, "Shut up! What right do you have to slander me like this? Besides, it was your sister who seduced me and insisted on paying me back. I didn't force her to do that!"

What you said is so shameless and has no bottom line!

Before Lu Yichen could open his mouth to refute, he continued to shout: "Don't think I don't know that your Lu family is just a merchant family. No matter how rich you are, what can you do? You let Lu Wanjun marry me because you value my talent and want to use me to profit for your Lu family!"

"What's the result? I saw through your evil plot and refused to go along with you, and now you're taking revenge like this, right? How ridiculous! I've been kind to Lu Wanjun all these years, letting her take charge of the household affairs, and this is how you repay me?"

After these words were spoken, Su Lanyin, who was hiding in the corner and eavesdropping, was really impressed.

Su Yongcheng is indeed a shrewd man. With just a few words, he can turn the tide and confuse right and wrong.

But it is also true that to pass the exam and get a government position and to stay in Shengjing and gain a foothold, it is not enough to just rely on money, but also requires some skills.

Although he is cunning, Lu Yichen is not stupid. As a shrewd businessman, it is necessary for him to have a good speaking ability.

So, Su Lanyin was not worried.

She looked back at the servant and asked, "Is there any movement over there?"

"I just checked, they are at the intersection!"

"Okay! Then it's my turn!"

Su Lanyin turned around and looked at the corner of the street, her heart full of anticipation.

At the same time, the people watching the excitement around began to talk about it.

"Who is telling the truth and who is lying?"

"Su Yongcheng is a famous talent in Shengjing. Although his official position is not high, his character should be fine, right?"

"Don't forget, the emperor just scolded him. Who knows what kind of person he is in private?"

"He can kick his own daughter out of the house. This shows that he is narrow-minded and heartless. He is definitely not a good person!"

"But I think what he said is not wrong. Lu Wanjun was willing to pay for the marriage. How could this profiteer do a losing business? Most likely he was trying to take advantage of him."

"I think both sides are not simple. Let's just keep watching. No matter who is real or fake, we can just watch the fun."

……

Su Yongcheng's eyes flashed with pride, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He thought that Lu Yichen would be defeated because of this, but unexpectedly, the other party was not panicked at all and retorted.

"Master Su, are you admitting that you have spent my sister's dowry and lived off her for free all these years?"

In one sentence, it kills instantly!

It doesn't matter whether Lu Wanjun married Su Yongcheng out of true love or for exploitation.

The important thing is that the Su family has been relying on Lu Wanjun’s dowry for survival over the years!

The tall Su Mansion in front of us was built with the dowry money. The silks and satins worn by the Su family were also bought with the dowry money. Almost all of their food, clothing, housing and transportation were inseparable from the dowry from the Lu family.

But Su Yongcheng demoted Lu Wanjun to a concubine, and this time he beat her son for the sake of his second wife, forced her to jump into the lake, and even drove Su Lanyin out of the house.
