Chapter 552: Chapter 551: It’s More Suitable to Sleep on the Streets_1
"That’s impossible!"
Su Pan’er said decisively, without any hesitation.
"As a child, I was brought up by the Su family, and they have been the only family I’ve ever known. There has never been a Liu family in my life. Since ancient times, there has been the saying that one should repay a drop of grace with a fountain of gratitude, let alone the mountainous favor of upbringing. You ask me, Su Pan’er, to be ungrateful. I’m sorry, but it’s something I cannot do. Moreover, it doesn’t seem like you have any right to teach me how to conduct myself."
"You..."
The face of Lord Marquis’s wife suddenly turned stormy, dark as the harbinger of a storm. "You ill-bred girl, who do you think you are talking to? I am trying to give you good advice, but you disrespect me in return..."
She was a lady of high standing, dignified, and having an air of pride.
For the sake of the Liu family, she chose to humble herself today, personally visiting Su Pan’er and trying to convince her into recognizing her ancestors and returning to her clan. Yet, Su Pan’er was not buying any of it, not even considering her in the equation.
As the lady in charge of the Liu family for decades, she was used to giving orders, and no one had ever dared to defy her. Being rebuked time and again by an unruly girl, however, she flared up in discontent.
She pointed at Su Pan’er and began to scold her non-stop.
"You ungrateful, unruly girl, if not for the sake of the Liu family, I would have had no interest in seeing you. Do you think the Liu family can’t make do without you? Even our maidservants in the Liu family are more educated than you. Your Su family parents have raised you such a way; they can’t be any good..."
"What do you even count for? My Liu family is willing to take back someone like you, a disgraceful piece of trash! The opportunity for you to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan is an honor. You should burn incense in gratitude, but what’s with your attitude now..."
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah!
Buzz buzz buzz!
Su Pan’er felt as if there was a large fly buzzing around her, which was very annoying.
Especially when she heard her parents being insulted, her elegant face tightened, her eyes filled with frost. Unable to control the anger swelling within her, Su Pan’er rolled up her sleeves, ready to confront the woman.
Young Mrs. Liu desperately tried to dissuade and stop her, hugging her tight, in a way that she finally had to give up.
But Lord Marquis’s wife wouldn’t even consider it, thinking that she was scared of her. Hence, she swore even more harshly!
Her scolding words were like a torrential river, endless and truly breathtaking.
It certainly made her feel better!
But, as luck would have it, Ye Han had just come back early from the morning court session and haplessly walked into this scene.
As a Great General of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ye Han had created countless slaughters with his own hands!
His killing intent started to boil all over his body, and with a roar, he shouted!
"How dare you! Someone dare to insult my sister by choice? Are you seeking death?"
There and then, he directly drove the two out, went to His Majesty,.. and reported the entire incident. He even repeated the old lady’s scolding words verbatim to His Majesty.
If it were someone else saying these words, His Majesty might not believe them. But these words came from the usually reticent Ye Han, which made it impossible for His Majesty not to believe!
Insulting a woman who was recently granted a noble title by His Majesty himself, saying that she lacks manners, wasn’t it like slapping His Majesty’s face openly?
His Majesty flew into a rage!
Without further ado, Old Marquis Liu was summoned into the palace.
Before Old Marquis Liu could even kneel down, a book was thrown through the air at his head.
"What good household teaching you have! I’m curious how exactly the Marquis’s Manor produced such a shrewish scold of a woman? If all the ladies in the Marquis’s Manor are like this, I believe it would be more appropriate to simply tear down the Marquis’s Manor and turn it into a large inn or drive everyone out to sleep on the streets!"
These words were severe! This could easily lead to confiscation of property and stripping of titles!
What on earth is happening? In the world of peace and tranquility, who caused this disaster!
The confused Old Marquis Liu quickly picked up the booklet to take a look and almost fainted from shock!
This wasn’t just a simple booklet, it was a copy of "Lessons for Women"!
Clearly, His Majesty was warning him that his inner court was unsettled and he needed to exercise proper discipline, otherwise, the collapse of the Liu Family could happen immediately!
Seeing His Majesty’s fierce eyes, he gritted his teeth to force himself to stay conscious.
With lots of kowtowing and tears of regret, he finally persuaded His Majesty to take back the death sentence. With many thanks, he bade farewell to His Majesty and left, a look of annoyance on his face as he returned to his mansion with the "Lessons for Women".
The Marquis’s Manor was suddenly in a state of chaos!
When it was cleared up that the trouble was caused by the Marquis’s wife and the young lady, Old Marquis issued a deadly order: if the two couldn’t bring back Su Pan’er, they would no longer be allowed to return to the Liu Family’s Mansion!
It was pitiful that Old Mrs. Liu, who was nearly seventy, had to shamelessly go to the General’s Mansion to ask to see Su Pan’er, but she was repeatedly turned down. Needless to say, this left her feeling extremely aggrieved.
Later, when she learned that Su Pan’er would be attending the Flower Appreciation Banquet hosted by Mrs. Zhang, she hurried over without hesitation.
But was Mrs. Zhang an ordinary person?
Old Mrs. Liu was abusing her elderly status to interfere. Naturally, Mrs. Zhang was not pleased.
Upon seeing Su Pan’er, she had no choice but to explain. With a face full of apology, she said, "Sister, as you know, I was in the wrong. But... I am also in a difficult position. I hope you can be understanding."
"So that’s what you mean, sister!"
Su Pan’er found this extremely amusing.
The previous reluctance to deal with the old woman was due to her reluctance to argue with such a person. More importantly, in her view, although Old Mrs. Liu was severe in her words, she was, after all, a woman of status who didn’t resort to vulgar insults. A few harsh words from her wouldn’t cause any real harm.
Moreover, at her advanced age, it wasn’t appropriate to hit or insult her in return. If she were to be accidentally upset or knocked over, it would end up causing more trouble for Su Pan’er.
Furthermore, she was the grandmother of the original body, she needed to show her some respect for the sake of the original body’s memory.
For the sake of the original body, Su Pan’er had tolerated her!
But coincidentally, Ye Han misunderstood the situation as her being weak and not dare to fight back, causing him to be really upset, and he reported Old Marquis Liu to His Majesty.
This truly left her both laughing and crying.
However, she appreciated Brother Ye’s intentions.
Hearing from Mrs. Zhang that both the original body’s mother and the old woman are here, she slightly frowned, but then quickly let it go.
"This isn’t your fault, Sister. Don’t worry! As a favor to you, as long as she doesn’t deliberately provoke me today, I won’t hold a grudge against her, nor will I put you in a difficult position.’
Mrs. Zhang obviously breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed her gratitude, "If that’s the case, I thank you on behalf of my sister."
"Sister, you are too polite."
Su Pan’er didn’t want to prolong the matter: "Sister, you are the host today and there are many guests you need to attend to. Go ahead and attend to your duties."
