Chapter 21 Beaten to death with sticks
How could this be possible? Before Madam Kang could scold Su Yuejie, a voice angrily said, "You dare!"
Jiang never imagined that her eldest uncle's son would want her daughter to pay for a dog's life. He was really taking advantage of her third master who was not in the capital.
I have spoiled my precious daughter since she was a child and I am afraid that she might get hurt.
If she let her daughter get hurt under her nose, wouldn't it be heartbreaking? How would she explain to the Third Master when he came back?
"Mother, please calm down!" Su Qingwan looked calm, even with a faint smile on her lips as she pulled Jiang to sit down. "Grandmother Kang is here, she won't allow Brother Yuejie to do anything reckless."
Su Yuejie sneered again. Even if he couldn't kill Su Qingwan today, he would not let her off easily.
"Brother Yuejie, are you sure that black dog is yours?" Su Qingwan asked.
Su Yurou and others just thought that Su Qingwan was crazy. Of course, the dog was raised by Su Yuejie. Even Madam Kang looked at Su Qingwan in confusion.
"Fourth girl, why are you asking this?"
Su Qingwan smiled and said, "Grandma Kang, although our third branch has only been back to the Marquis' Mansion for a few days, I heard an interesting story when I went out shopping the other day."
"Stop talking nonsense here. It's not easy to get away with killing my dog." Su Yuejie thought that Su Qingwan was scared by him, so he started to talk nonsense.
Su Qingwan didn't even glance at him, but continued, "I heard that Princess Hualan's little daughter was frightened, and now everyone in the Princess's mansion is looking for the culprit. They said that they will not let him off easily after finding him."
"What do you think this matter has to do with it?" Although the aunt knew that it was ridiculous for her son to ask Su Qingwan to pay with her life, she was happy to let Su Qingwan suffer some punishment!
"Aunt, you don't know yet. I heard that it was a vicious dog that frightened the princess's daughter, and it happened to be black." Su Qingwan said this and her eyes shifted to Madam Kang who was sitting in the main seat.
Madam Kang was a very cautious person. After hearing the rumors told by Su Qingwan, even though she knew that the vicious dog that frightened the princess's daughter was not Su Yuejie's dog, she would order people to kill the dog immediately.
Su Yuejie: "Nonsense, I have never met Princess Hua Lan, how could I possibly scare her daughter."
"Fourth sister, we have never heard of such rumors. Did you hear it wrongly?" Su Yunrou was almost pointing at Su Qingwan and saying "You are lying".
"Did you hear it wrong? You can send someone out to inquire. This is not something I can just make up." Su Qingwan looked directly at Su Yunrou. She believed that someone in the Marquis' Mansion must have heard this rumor.
Sure enough, the old maid standing behind Madam Kang said, "It is true that Princess Hualan's daughter was frightened. I heard that the imperial physician has gone to see her."
Su Yunrou couldn't help but clench her handkerchief. How come she had never heard of this?
Of course, she had no way of hearing about this. Before Su Qingwan came back, she was busy thinking about how to meet King Rui. After Su Qingwan came back, she had no time to care about what was happening outside.
Su Qingwan pursed her lips, looking embarrassed to say, "Brother Yuejie, I heard from the servants in the mansion that you went hunting outside the West City a few days ago, and Princess Hualan happened to take her daughter to stay at a manor outside the West City during those days."
Su Yuejie's face turned pale. He did go to the outskirts of West City, and he brought Heizi with him. Did he really scare the daughter of Princess Hua Lan on the way? But he couldn't remember.
Su Qingwan sneered in her heart. She didn't expect that she guessed it right.
In her previous life, she only heard that Princess Hua Lan’s daughter was frightened by a dog, but she didn’t know what color the dog was.
But looking at Su Yuejie's appearance, it doesn't matter what color the dog is.
When the aunt and Madam Kang saw Su Yuejie's pale face, they were confused. The aunt looked scared and Madam Kang's expression became serious.
Seeing that it was almost done, Su Qingwan said, "Grandma Kang, I think that dog was brought into the mansion by a servant who didn't know the rules. It has nothing to do with Brother Yuejie."
"Yes... yes, that dog has nothing to do with me!" Su Yuejie immediately distanced himself from the matter.
If you offend the princess's daughter, it's not as simple as paying money.
Madam Kang also understood the interests involved. Princess Hualan’s husband was an important official in the cabinet, which was completely different from their family’s powerless marquisate.
"In that case, Liu, you should have someone beat the bastard who brought the dog into the Marquis's mansion to death with sticks. If such a person is used to serve my brother, he will only lead my brother astray." Old Madam Kang said majestically.
Su Qingwan understood that this was just looking for someone to take the blame, but every one of the lackeys following Su Yuejie was not a good person. They often bullied men and women outside under the name of the Marquis' Mansion.
Su Yuejie took a deep breath and wanted to say something to plead for mercy, but the look from Madam Liu made the words sink back into his mouth.
Madam Liu spoke a few words directly to Nanny Zhou, and after receiving the order, Nanny Zhou went out to do her work.
Su Qingwan's ears twitched slightly, and she heard the sound of someone covering their mouth and dragging outside. She knew that the servant who had followed with the dog's corpse was being taken away for disposal.
She smiled slightly and looked up, just in time to meet Su Yuejie's eyes which were staring at her fiercely.
"Brother Yuejie, you are looking at me like that, do you think that dog shouldn't have died? How about I ask someone to find a few black dogs as compensation?" Su Qingwan asked.
Liu quickly interrupted: "Qingwan, don't worry about him, he just hurt his arm and is in a bad mood."
"What my aunt said makes sense. It seems that Big Brother Yuejie's body is too fragile. He can break his arm just by falling on flat ground. If he accidentally falls from a height one day, he will definitely break his leg as well." Su Qingwan sighed sincerely.
Liu was angry again!
Thank you so much for cursing my son to fall from a great height. You little bitch, sooner or later, I will skin you alive.
"Fourth girl, just hope that your eldest brother gets better. Don't talk nonsense in the future." After saying this, Mrs. Kang stood up and went to the inner room to rest. The nanny who served her hurriedly supported her.
When he was halfway there, he turned back to look at Su Qingwan and said, "By the way, you have been back for so long, remember to write a letter to your father so that he won't worry.
"Okay, Grandma Kang." Su Qingwan responded obediently.
"You should also go to the Taolin Club, it's full of young people and it's lively with more people."
"it is good!"
Su Qingwan knew about the Taolin Conference. In her previous life, she got the chance to attend it after a lot of commotion. She wanted to show off and gain the reputation of a talented woman so that King Rui would look at her with higher regard. However, she didn't expect that she would make such a fool of herself at the Taolin Conference that people all over the capital said that she was not worthy of the noble King Rui.
Unexpectedly, in this life, it was Old Madam Kang who took the initiative to ask her to attend the Taolin Meeting.
As soon as Madam Kang left, these people naturally had to leave as well. Su Qingwan supported Jiang and walked behind. In front of her was the third young lady, Su Yuning.
Su Yuning turned around and looked at Su Qingwan with disgust. Su Qingwan curled her lips and kicked him directly.
