The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

Chapter 156 Shameless

"How dare your Minister's Mansion detain people in your mansion and use torture against them!"

Madam Liu glared angrily at the two people on the ground, her eyes flashing with a sharp light. Then her face darkened, and she looked directly at the old lady.

"Madam Liu, are you blind? Which eye saw the vigilante justice?"

Su Fuying's voice was neither loud nor soft, as if she were stating an ordinary matter.

She sat upright at the table, her expression calm, as if she would remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before her.

"You? How did you, an outsider, end up here? How dare a mere junior be so disrespectful to me?"

Upon seeing Su Fuying, Madam Liu's face immediately darkened. If

If this woman hadn't repeatedly ruined Liu Hui's plans, things wouldn't have developed to this point.

“I am an outsider, so who are you to dare to yell at your elders here?”

Su Fuying gently lifted her eyelids and glanced at them indifferently. Even when she was just sitting quietly, her arrogant posture exuded an aura of ruling the world.

Madam Liu was startled, not knowing that the timid little girl from her childhood had grown up to be like this.

Meeting Su Fuying's sharp gaze, Madam Liu couldn't help but shrink back, but thinking of the grievances her daughter had suffered, she forced herself to speak:

"I was simply outraged to see you bullying us like this! My poor daughter was already doing you a favor by marrying into your Minister's family. If it weren't for my daughter Ah Hui's pleas, do you think a mere third-rank official like you could have married the eldest daughter of the Grand Secretary?"

After Madam Liu's sharp words, the old lady and Su Chengde's expressions became even more unpleasant.

At that time, the Grand Secretary's family looked down on their household, and it was indeed Liu Hui who mediated between them.

"But, you make it sound nice, but do you dare to say what the betrothal gifts from our Minister's residence were back then?"

The old lady spoke firmly. Recalling what happened back then, she knew in her heart that the Minister's Mansion had never mistreated the Grand Secretary's family.

The betrothal gifts given back then were based on the standards for marrying a princess; otherwise, how could their Grand Secretary, with his opportunistic and treacherous nature, have possibly agreed?

Madam Liu replied without hesitation, "What dowry? Madam, have you forgotten that the bride price was only three taels, while our dowry included a full six taels!"

"You shameless person! Cough cough cough..."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengde's eyes widened in disbelief, his face flushed, and his breathing became rapid, as if he would run out of breath at any moment.

When they got married, the late emperor was seriously ill, so the wedding was kept simple. However, the betrothal gifts agreed upon by their two families amounted to sixty-six tables. But due to the special circumstances at the time, they dared not make a big fuss about it.

The Grand Secretary's office wanted both face and substance, and was only willing to provide a dowry of six tiers. Therefore, they demanded that the Minister's office could only publicly display the betrothal gifts of three tiers to satisfy their vanity.

Over the years, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that the Minister's family has been climbing the social ladder, and there are also rumors in the court that he has latched onto a powerful father-in-law.

But only he himself knows the truth, and he cannot tell outsiders.

"Doctor He."

Su Fuying called out towards the door, her voice clear and firm. Physician He cautiously peeked out, speaking somewhat timidly, "Princess?"

"Quickly show this to the Minister, lest these two wicked women drive him to his death." After saying this, the woman gently picked up a cup of tea from the table, elegantly skimmed off the foam, blew on it lightly, and then slowly sipped it. Her movements were graceful and fluid, exuding a noble air.

"Who are you calling a liar!" Madam Liu's face turned ugly. She hadn't expected this woman to be so insolent. This woman deserved to die.

"Who should be saying whoever is right?" Su Fuying's tone was indifferent, but full of provocation.

"You..." Madam Liu was so angry that she was speechless and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"Madam, Princess, the Minister's condition is not good and he needs to be treated as soon as possible."

Physician He quickly spoke, trying to change the subject. He had been listening to the commotion outside the door, and was already sweating profusely; his initial excitement had completely vanished.

Su Fuying got up and stepped forward, kicking Liu Mang, who had already fainted from the pain, awake without hesitation.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Mang asked fearfully, shrinking back as he retreated.

Su Fuying squatted down and looked at the middle-aged man. He was short, had a lewd face, and was timid. He was disgusting to look at.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Liu Hui, you must be really hungry." Su Fuying made no attempt to hide her disgust.

"Su Fuying, what do you mean?" Liu Hui's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, as if she had swallowed a fly.

"What do you mean, Madam? Only someone as shameless as you could do such a thing."

Su Fuying's words were cold and sharp, making Liu Hui's face even more unpleasant.

However, when Su Fuying uttered the title "Madam," Chen felt a chill run down her spine.

Although the nickname was directed at Liu Hui, she always felt that Su Fuying seemed to be implying something.

“Mother, I have no connection with this man. They are slandering me.” Liu Hui anxiously pleaded with her mother, Chen, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

At this moment, Liu Hui placed all her hopes on Chen, hoping that she would stand up and defend herself.

Liu Hui knew Liu Mang's character well; he was timid and cowardly, and if he were forced to reveal everything, he would probably tell her everything.

Thinking of this, Liu Hui's heart pounded even harder, and cold sweat began to bead on her forehead.

If things are exposed, she will be in dire straits.

“Slander? Liu, do you know that while your lover was having an affair with you, he was also using your money to keep two mistresses outside?”

Su Fuying's voice was as piercing as a cold wind, sending chills down the spines of everyone present.

"What?" Liu Hui stared wide-eyed at the man on the ground in disbelief.

"Is what she said true?"
