A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 315 Confrontation between father and daughter
Su Shunci knew that her grandmother would definitely ask about the matter of the Gu family being kicked out after she woke up.
But she didn't expect it to be so drastic, to the point where they were going to expel her from the Su family.
And her father, who had always been confused, did not even dare to step forward to advise her, just as she had expected.
Su Shunci stood under the eaves of the main house of Songhe Hall and saw a servant bringing in a bowl of medicine. In an instant, the sound of the bowl breaking and the old lady's cursing were heard.
Judging from the situation, as long as she is in the Su family, grandma will not take the medicine.
Although Su Shunci looked a little solemn, he still kept his back straight and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.
The look in his eyes gradually changed from helpless to determined.
Some things may seem like disasters but may turn out to be blessings in the end. It all depends on how you choose. This is what her third cousin taught her, and she believes it deeply.
At this moment, he seemed to have made up his mind, figured it out, and his expression relaxed.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard the voice of his second aunt He from behind him, "Ah Ci, are you okay? Your grandmother is so irritable because she is sick, don't take it to heart."
Su Shunci paused. It was rare to see Second Aunt speaking to her in such a friendly manner.
"Aunt, I understand. Since grandma said so..."
Before she finished her words, she heard He said, "Second Aunt wants to talk to you. Let's go to the flower hall next door."
Su Shunci looked at He in surprise, then after thinking for a while, she lifted her skirt and followed.
After entering the flower hall, the two sat opposite each other and a servant served them tea.
He lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then thought for a moment before speaking.
"Ah Ci, your grandmother is just speaking in anger, don't take it seriously. How can she really kick you out? If she kicks you out like this, you will have no way to survive."
Su Shunci raised her eyebrows and said in a panic, "I don't quite understand what Second Aunt is saying. I'm young and I only know how to settle accounts in the shop. I don't know much about things outside. What does Second Aunt mean? How come there is no way out?"
When Mrs. He heard her ask this, she frowned.
"You are young, so you naturally don't understand. If you are driven out by your grandmother like this, it means that you will lose the protection of the Su family. People outside can naturally bully you however they want."
"Second Aunt is not trying to scare you. There are people who specifically catch people like you and sell them directly to brothels."
Su Shunci blinked her moist eyes, "Is there such a thing? Is there any law?"
He sneered, "The king's law? You are not the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion anymore, how can the king's law govern you? In my opinion, you cannot leave this family. It will not be good for you."
Su Shunci twisted her hands together, looking at a loss, "Then what should I do, Second Aunt?"
When He heard her ask, she sighed and said, "Of course, it's to calm your grandmother down. I have an idea. That Huajin Pavilion is yours, right? Why not give it to your family? Once your grandmother is happy, she will naturally calm down."
Su Shunci dealt with it for a long time before finally asking what He meant. Sure enough, the weasel was paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, with no good intentions.
This idea may not have been thought of by my grandmother. Maybe my second aunt coveted Huajin Pavilion's business and wanted to take advantage of the situation.
"Even if I can't appease my grandmother, the business belongs to my eldest sister. I have no right to hand it over to the family."
Su Shunci's tone of voice and facial expression were flawless. He stared at her for a long time, feeling suspicious. Could it be that the business really belonged to Su Qingyu?
"Thank you for your concern, Second Aunt, but I really can't do what you said." Su Shunci bowed, stood up and walked out.
When I walked out of the flower hall, I saw my father Su Chengye also walking out of the main room where the old lady lived.
When he saw her, his eyes widened with anger.
"You evil creature, why don't you go in and kneel down to apologize to your grandmother. When your grandmother forgives you, you can get up again."
Even though she had guessed her father's reaction, Su Shunci still felt disappointed and sad. It was rare for a biological father to do this.
She was still at an age where she fantasized about being loved by her father, but repeated disappointments eventually shattered her fantasy.
Sometimes she thought that she should be as hard-hearted as her elder sister, so that she wouldn't take these things to heart. But she didn't know that Su Qingyu could see things so clearly because she had experienced many hardships in her life.
"Does father also think that grandma's decision today is right? Is it really my fault? Should I be kicked out of the Su family?"
Su Chengye's chest tightened when Su Shunci looked at him with a complicated gaze, but he still scolded her with gritted teeth: "Don't you know what filial piety is? You have to obey whatever your grandmother says."
This is what the old lady taught him since he was a child. It took her several decades to teach her eldest son to be filial.
To be precise, it should be called foolish filial piety, at least that's what Su Shunci thought.
Not having your own sense of right and wrong and bottom line, and just blindly obeying others, is foolish filial piety.
The father and daughter confronted each other for a long time, and Su Shunci asked, "What if I don't go?"
Su Chengye was furious. "You can choose between kneeling in front of your grandmother's bed and apologizing or being kicked out of the house."
Su Shunci sneered in her heart. Kneeling in front of her grandmother's bed? Those bowls of boiling hot medicine would probably be poured on her head in the end.
As for being kicked out of the house...
Su Shunci lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking about, as if he was thinking about how to start the conversation.
Suddenly a servant came running over, "My Lord, something bad has happened. Aunt Zeng and Aunt Lian are arguing. Aunt Zeng is complaining about a stomachache. She's afraid she might have a miscarriage. Please help me, my Lord."
Su Chengye was immediately furious. It had only been a short time since Concubine Zeng was pregnant, and it had not yet been announced to the public. If it was a boy, he would be the heir to the eldest son's family. How could she not be angry if she got pregnant at this time?
"You and your mother are the same. You are a real worry to me. If anything happens to this child, you two should get out of here together."
Su Shunci could tolerate Su Chengye talking about her, but she could not tolerate him insulting and slandering her aunt.
"My aunt has served father for many years, and now you tell her to get lost without asking why. Father really has no mercy on her."
Su Chengye knew that what he said just now was impulsive, but he was the father, so there was no reason for him to bow his head to his daughter. Even in front of his legitimate daughter, he never took the initiative to bow his head.
He then shouted at her, "You have no right to interfere in these matters. Go kneel down in front of your grandmother's bed. Do you really dare to get out of the mansion with your aunt?"
Su Shunci stood there motionless, looking up at Su Chengye, "Father, how do you know I don't dare? Then, father, do you dare to give me my aunt's indenture?"
The concubines of the Zhou Dynasty all had a body contract, which was different from the body contract of servants and also different from the marriage certificate of the main wife. It was a document between the two. As long as the body contract was returned to the concubine, the concubine would be free again.
"Someone, go get Aunt Lian's indenture." At this time, Su Chengye still felt that Su Shunci was just competing with him, and in fact, he didn't dare to leave the Su family at all.
What good fate can a concubine or illegitimate daughter have after being kicked out of the Su family?
Even if Su Qingyu took care of them and their mother, it was impossible for her to bring them to the Shen family.
These mother and daughter are stranded outside and will probably have to sleep on the streets soon.
